Black Killer Whale Baby

“…..”

The attendant looked at me and my grandmother with a contemplative face.

It was filled with pity as if he was looking at a dead person.

I didn’t care at all. I would like to pluck my hair too, but I was still thinking about it.

Thoughts must be put into practice.

It was when my dainty hand stretched out. It was blocked by a large hand.

Oops, did her hair clog her brain? Or are you angry? The moment I thought so…

“Ha, Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”

Grandma was laughing heartily, as if she was having a lot of fun.

At the end of the laugh, her glistening eyes turned to me. It was a gaze of languid satisfaction.

“You said something like this came out of the madman Pierre who gave up on his life?”

A wrinkled, good-looking face flashed in front of me.

It was so close that the wrinkles were clearly visible.

The killer whale family could put life into their eyes.

The glistening eyes were obviously not filled with goodwill.

“You’re the first grandchild to have pulled my hair out, you dumbass.”

“…yes?”

Grandma threw me on the bed.

As expected, it wasn’t something someone would do to a baby, but the bed was so soft that it didn’t hurt.

“Okay, I’ll hold off on disposing of this.”

The first thing I experienced as I returned from the previous lives was being kicked out to the building furthest from my home.

“Put her in the academy this summer.”[1]

“……Yes, my lord.”

Long, slanted eyes turned to me.

Beneath the shiny hair like the epidermis of a killer whale, bloody eyes bulged.

“Listen, you are like a piece of rice cake, if you do not show results in the academy, you will be exiled to the cold palace. Do you understand?”

Because I was weak and couldn’t awaken the power of water. My situation was where I was always kicked out.

‘Come on, let’s see. I’ll grow up quickly and get out of this family.’

Before that, I’ll have to see that old woman’s face frown.

‘I’ll become strong enough to make you drool, then disappear as the dragon’s bride.’

That will be awesome! To do that I will have to become the best.

That’s how I changed the beginning of this life.

•••••••••••

A 10-year-old can be sold as a dragon bride.

But before that, I had been sold to other families many times.

Although I tried to rebel several times and ran away a few times.

There was nothing I could do here with my weak body, which puts my memories of the original work to shame.

“The fact that I was able to escape in the previous life was possible because I risked my life.

But now, thanks to finally learning the knack of being articulate, it’s bought me time.

Now I had only one thing to do.

‘For now, the goal is to survive safely until the age of 10.’

And until then, to not be sold to a family related to the original work.

It seemed that I already had extraordinary brain powers, but this was not enough.

‘I need a guardian until I’m 10 years old.’

I can gradually develop my abilities, but until then, I needed at least one guardian to support me.

‘My physical abilities are too weak. Although this can’t be helped because this aspect resembles my father.’

The three older brothers who were superior to me were great characters with or without the protection of their vassals, but the current me wasn’t the same.

‘It would have been nice if the power of water had stayed with me.’

So, who can help me grow up?

Most adults wouldn’t try to be my protector.

No matter how smart they were, this was a family that preferred overwhelming force over intellect.

‘I need an adult who has a unique taste and can stand by the sidelines.’

And I knew one such person.

‘My father, Pierre Acquaciadel.’

My father was a man in an odd position in this family of killer whales.

The head of the household, my grandmother, had three sons, and the first and second boasted outstanding abilities enough to be called rivals from childhood…. The third, Pierre, was different from day one.

His body was very fragile.

However, unlike me, who was ignored because of my weakness, my father was not ignored or looked down on, because he had a tremendous ‘power of water’.

‘The problem is that the body is weak, so there are restrictions on using power.’

To describe my father, it was like this.

A weapon with firepower that everyone fears, but with a limited number of uses.

My grandmother also treated my father as useless, though it was unfortunate, my father went into seclusion.

In the meantime, she took care of the children born through his arranged marriage, but she did not take care of me like she did my brothers.

My older brothers also didn’t even pay attention to my father.

‘But I need that indifference now.’

Presently, I was returning to the place where I lived in the arms of the attendant who had brought me.

Curiously, the hand holding me was more careful than when I started.

‘It must be because he saw what I was worth in my grandmother’s eyes.’

When I arrived at the room, the attendant looked at me and opened his mouth slightly.

“My lady, in a week, we plan to move your place of residence. I will come back then.”

The place I am currently staying at was a shabby room at the west end.

The servant withdrew with the words saying that I would be moved to the end of the main building.

‘Power is so good. My grandmother moved my room as soon as I caught her eye. Anyway, this room is too old and dangerous, so that’s good.”

I was left alone and waddled around.

There’s a nanny who takes care of babies like me in this old building.

It’s the person who gives me the minimum amount of food so I don’t die.

The babies of the killer whale family started in this building and were able to get out of this building the moment they distinguished themselves.

Babies who have the power of water from birth can naturally live in the main building without having to come here.

I walked diligently.

•••••••••••

Baby Calypso was able to reach the place she wanted after a long walk.

She turned her chubby face around and surveyed the place.

‘It must be around here…. Ah!’

Soon Calypso’s face brightened.

She found the person she wanted.

Calypso’s big eyes caught a glimpse of a man sitting idly by the fountain.

The fountain here was in an old, cracked state, as if it was in ruins.

The man sitting there was very tall and big-boned, but somehow gave the impression of being skinny.

The collarbone was visible over the round neck shirt, and the loosely worn cardigan created a relaxed atmosphere.

The face made the languid atmosphere more mature, he had an impatient look that even gave off a decadent impression.

The white skin that seemed to have never seen the light of day also amplified this atmosphere.

‘Hmm, I think he’s handsome even though he’s not a strong killer whale.’

Calypso commented simply.

The man in front of me was my father, Pierre Acquaciadel.

Calypso was surprised to see her father alive as she has only seen him a few times in her past three lives.

To explain why, it was simple.

Calypso rarely saw him before being sold in the previous lives, and he died of illness shortly thereafter.

He had strength to be called the strongest, but his weak body couldn’t stand it and he died.

‘In the previous life, after becoming the head of the household, I could  only ever look at you to my heart’s content through portraits.’

I have never seen you in this life.

I heard that my father wasn’t even present when I was born.

Calypso ran to the fountain.

Pierre was staring closely at something, not turning even until Calypso got very close.

“Mister!”

It was only when Calypso finally arrived right in front of him that he slowly turned his head.

“…….”

Calypso looked closely at her father’s face.

As expected, Pierre’s animated face was strange. 

‘A person who is strong enough to be compared to my current grandmother, but whose strength is severely restricted.’

Besides, there is a time limit due to dying early.

I don’t know if you know your situation, but it was a strange atmosphere that reminds me of a night under a neon sign that doesn’t exist here.

“Hello, mister.”

Calypso pretended not to know and smiled.

“Do you know where the academy is? I have to go there.”

Of course, this was just an excuse to talk, and it was a blatant lie.

Pierre looked at Calypso for a long time.

Curiously, rather than looking at it, it would be more accurate to express it as just looking away.

It made Calypso feel as if his eyes were passing through her transparently.

As if he did not feel her presence.

His eyes were filled with only indifference and laziness.

Calypso’s round eyebrows shot up.

Calypso is the roundest of the family. It has always been a complex.

If you look at the image of a killer whale in the world, everyone is pointed, but she was the only round one.

But at this moment, I wanted to raise my eyebrows. Hey, I’m feeling bad!

‘Why is there no answer?’

After thinking this for a while. I heard a slow reply.

“Girl. I heard it wrong for a while.”

Pierre’s voice was husky.

As if he had not spoken for a long time.[2]

T/L Notes:

Literal translation is educational institution, I just kept it as academy cause that’s how the promo translators did it.Translated to “As if it hadn’t been heard for a long time.” but I felt it was better to say it was husky because he hasn’t spoken and not because it wasn’t heard.

So sorry for the late upload, I thought I pressed publish last week, my shock when I checked today and saw it saved as draft instead. (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ)

For now, I’ll try to upload the next two chapters by Wednesday, UTC+8:00 cause I have exams due (ಥ﹏ಥ)
