Black Killer Whale Baby

Calypso was taken aback by the husky hum of the voice.

‘Oh, a voice that doesn’t match his face at all.’

His eyes drooped slightly and he even felt sensitive because of the slight dark circles. but his voice wasn’t like that at all.

Well, this has nothing to do with Calypso.

‘I’m your daughter from the beginning, and even if I show up and bother you, you won’t even pay attention to me.’

I hadn’t met Pierre much, but I knew his personality.

To be precise, it was a story I had heard from the retainers of the previous life.

“The deceased Pierre? Ugh, he really hated anything annoying and bothersome. Didn’t he particularly hate children? That’s why even to the head of the family, his sons and daughter, he didn’t even look at them!”

“You indifferent and ignorant bastard, are you talking nonsense in front of the head of the household? Anyway, flounder babies don’t have brains, they’re like noodles. Oh, but family head, I heard that even though he was sick, he liked being extremely clean.”

Unexpectedly, the vassals were very interested in Pierre.

‘Seeing how well they remember my father even after he died.’

In this family that worships strength and body, having only strength deemed as the strongest ever but having a weak body, made him a strange existence.

Anyway, since he hates children, I felt a reason to speak more clearly than when I was dealing with my grandmother.

“It’s the exact opposite direction.”

“Hmm, which direction is it?”

“You have a long way to go.”

“Really? That’s a big deal.”

Calypso put a dainty hand to her chin and groaned.

It was actually very cute and lovely, but Pierre just stared at it as if he were looking at a stone.

“I must go there, how about you take me there?”

With a hoarse voice, Pierre stared at Calypso and tilted his head slightly.

“Nope.”

A look of uneasiness passed over his face.

‘As expected, he seems to hate trouble.’

Anyone can see a face that asks ‘Why me?’.

“Okay? Then there is nothing I can do.”

Calypso shrugged without hesitation, stretched out her arms towards the fountain, and struggled up to sit down.

“Education is complete, so I need to eat.”

Pierre stared at Calypso in silence until she settled down.

Calypso opened the pouch she had been carrying, not caring whether or not Pierre was looking at it.

What she took out of the old dolphin-shaped bag was dried fruit.

It had been collected one after another since Calypso could walk.

‘I didn’t know what the situation would be, so I packed food.’

The building where Calypso is located is only for babies who have to survive 1-2 years alone, so the food given was scarce.

As soon as Calypso turned 2 years old, she stocked up on items that could be stored for a long time.

Calypso stopped eating and turned her head.

“What are you looking at, mister?”

Calypso’s direct question did not get an answer from Pierre.

Is there only one expression?

“Don’t look at me if you have nothing to say. Bless you.”

“……”

Are you just picky? If anyone can be picky, it’s Abby.[1]

Calypso grumbled inwardly and continued munching on the dried fruit.

Then she rubbed her cheek because it was itchy.

Calypso didn’t notice but by the time she struggled to sit, the soot from the dirty fountain got on her hands and was then rubbed right down her cheek.

Calypso ate eagerly, not realizing that she had a black tattoo on her face.

All the meals come out in the name of baby food, so only scraps are given, this sweetness is truly heaven.

She forgot the purpose of coming to see her father and was absorbed in admiring the taste of the dried fruits.

“Mister, why do you keep looking at me? Are you hungry?”

“……”

“Would you like one?”

Calypso held out her bag as if to patronize him.

I thought of my purpose again in my mind and felt like giving up.

“……”

However, I didn’t hear an answer and had to bring it back.

‘Hmm, he’s damn taciturn.’

Calypso was intent on recalling how to raise the affinity she had forgotten.

How do you imprint me without being annoyed?

However, thinking that there was no answer right now, I can get up from my seat without regret.

“Thank you for showing me the way. uncle. It’s very quiet here. Do you play alone here all the time?”

“……”

“Are you bullied too? Doesn’t anyone take care of you like me?”

Pierre lived in one of the shabby buildings on the west end.

Although he was sickly, he was not completely cast out, so he lived however he wanted like this even though he did not have to live in a shabby place.

This was something that Calypso was also curious about.

‘Did he give up on life early?’

The resigned look somehow made me think that this might be the correct answer.

If that was the case, Calypso, who had an incredibly strong attachment to life, could not understand it at all.

Calypso tilted her head.

“If that’s the case, then you’re probably as lonely as me.”

It wasn’t particularly lonely, but Calypso tried to talk like a child.

It was not wrong though, in the building where Calypso is, there are killer whales who cannot speak or die early.

And there were only nannies and attendants who had no interest in the babies.

‘I wouldn’t look at any passing ants like this.’

No matter what she said, looking at his face without any emotion, she clicked her tongue inwardly as if she was somehow angry.

It’s like he’s not interested in me at all.

It can be so openly seen.

Calypso decided to let go of her lingering feelings and leave.

‘Anyway, it seems the vassals gossip from the last life that Pierre comes here often is right.’

“Um. I have to go home. Hello, mister.”

Calypso knew when to advance and retreat.

Now is the time to retreat.

“See you again.”

Calypso didn’t look back because she didn’t even pretend to hear his reply.

Because she had a strong attachment to life, she was used to looking only forward.

“…..”

That’s why Calypso was unaware of the intense gaze that pierced her back.

After Calypso left, Pierre, like a stone statue, was absent-minded for a long time before suddenly reaching out his hand.

There was black soot on the hand that had rubbed the spot where Calypso had been.

Water droplets gushed out and in an instant made Pierre’s hand clean.

‘I guess….’

It’s been a while since I thought about it.

‘That looks like my daughter.’

Pierre looked at his hand, where only the clear water remained, and slowly clicked his tongue.

He lazily shook his head at the same time.

“hmm.”

A languid voice cut through the air. Thoughts were brief.

“The kid doesn’t seem to know I’m her father.”

•••••••••••

… Is that what you’re thinking?

I thought as I ran away.

‘It can’t not be.’

I know by looking at my father, Pierre. There’s no way that person wouldn’t recognize me.

The killer whale family is divided into direct and collateral lines.

The ‘power of water’ they possess appears almost only in the direct line, but very occasionally there are those who awaken this power in the collateral line as well.

In this case, the collaterals also had the right to participate in the succession war for the first time.

‘I’m a direct descendant, so I’m qualified to enter the succession battle just because of my bloodline.’

Who jumps for good? In this life, after becoming stronger, you will want to show off.

Anyway, coming back to the main topic. the appearance of direct and collateral is slightly different.

The direct descendants had black and white hair, as if they were wearing the skin of a real killer whale.

While the collateral descendants have gray hair.

‘Besides, If you say direct lineage, the current kids will be there, so it must not be difficult to recognize.’

What would you think when you see a kid with the same personality as me?

If you don’t know, it’s a nuisance. At least he didn’t seem to be an indecisive man, so he must have pretended not to know even if he knew.

‘He hates troublesome things, so he hates children too.’

Should I think more about how to approach him in the future?

Anyway, I need to get to know Abby a little bit before we move and go to an educational institution.

Learning at the academy starts from the age of three. This applies to all cetaceans, and it is also a building in one of these vast killer whale mansions.

In terms of learning, it’s like kindergarten…

In fact, it is a pointless place where whale babies are thrown into and told to survive.

In particular, killer whales with aggressive tendencies, regardless of being direct or collateral descendants, were thoroughly abandoned if they did not stand out in these three areas of brain, body, and power of water while in the academy.

Other whales are anxious not to care for their young. It’s like this in this fucking family.

From the moment you enter an academy, it will be quite demanding.

Because I’ll have to show that old woman’s bad manners so that I won’t be kicked out cold-bloodedly.

If you are kicked out for being cold, you will be sold to another family just like your last life, and your route will be confirmed.

‘If that happens, I won’t be able to become the dragon’s bride as planned.’ 

I can’t help it. I have no choice but to reveal the genius of this body somehow.

Luckily, I am confident about that.

T/L Notes:

I seriously got stuck with trying to figure out this sentence, I don’t know why Abby suddenly got inserted into the convo and why she’s asking her father if he’s picky. If you have any idea, please comment or reach out to me, thanks!

I know I said I’d upload 2 chapters today but I really couldn’t with my workload (studying and I’m the only one translating, editing, and proofreading this ༼﹏༽ ).

I’m currently sick but I’ll try to finish editing and PRing the next chapter as soon as I can. Once my exams are over, I’ll finally be able to set an update schedule, yay! ୧⍢⃝୨

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading and if you have any corrections or concerns or anything, just comment down below. TY!
