It seemed like stars were set in the children’s pitch-black eyes, but I was getting annoyed little by little. Did he say Pierre didn’t like kids? I guess I don’t like them either… To be honest, it’s probably because I’ve suffered all day today.
“Is this what it feels like to be treated?”
“Huh. No. Don’t go and tell your mother.”
“Those eyes are all big, so I don’t even talk about theory and high school!”
“Neither do I!”
“Yes, yes, it is wonderful.”
I waved my hand insincerely and stepped onto the stairs. But the twins who saw me going down the stairs started talking to me again.
“Gong Nyo-nim, are the stairs difficult?”
“Are you strong?”
“No, it’s not difficult.”
It’s real. It’s not hard.
‘It seems like the training I did with my dad didn’t help.’
It wasn’t a bad level, but it was pretty great.
I didn’t even know that I could blow up an 8-year-old who was 5 years older than me and nearly twice the size of me without being able to make water. I thought it was a crazy training that didn’t take age into consideration, but I might have made a mistake in my judgment. Anyway, it’s not difficult to go down now that I’ve gotten stronger, but the problem is these short legs.
‘…Apparently, the guy who built these stairs had no consideration for children!’
It was such a frowning moment. The moment I came to my senses, my body was lifted up.
“Help my dolphin-eyed fellow!”
“Help!”
“Gong Nyo-sama is a colleague from today!”
“That’s right! We are classmates, friends!”
When I lowered my head, the twins held onto my legs one by one, as if they had burned a palanquin. I was afraid that someone might not be a cetacean, so I was basically strong. While I was gasping for air, I arrived at the first floor in the blink of an eye. I took one look down the long hallway and scratched my cheek.
“Thank you.”
‘Let’s clearly remember grace and enemies is my creed.’
“What is your name?”
Thanks to that, I stopped thinking that it was just passing interest and became interested. It seemed like a face I didn’t know, so maybe it’s not the people I met in the previous episode.
“It’s Luke!”
“It’s Luba!”
“Together, Lou Garuba!”
“Doobi dooba?”
“Lu Beluga!”
I smiled at the Beluga whale children.
“Yes, please take good care of me in the future.”
It seemed that there are cute underlings.

It was from the moment I got into the carriage that I felt strange.
‘What?’
The expression on the servant’s face in the wagon with him was very strange. I wondered if it was the expression of seeing something uncomfortable, but if you look closely, it’s embarrassing, and your face is dangling with sweat. When I stared at the attendant, the attendant cleared his throat and lowered his gaze.
‘As expected, it’s strange.’
The servant’s attitude was subtle. Actions and facial expressions… Even the greetings when getting into the carriage earlier.
“Are you here, Lord Calypso?”
An overly polite greeting with a stiff expression. Rather, it seemed that he was too formal and rigid. After looking closely, it was not difficult to see.
‘Aha, did it even go into Grandma’s ears?’
As I said before, the attendant who took me back and forth was also the direct attendant of my grandmother. I finally realized that my every move had been heard by her grandmother.
‘Yes, you have to do this much to get it into your ears, right?’
He rubbed his chin and smiled, then sat down leisurely in a chair. This was not the only surprise. Strangers were standing when I just arrived in front of the building.
I blinked.
‘What are those people?’
“Hey Calypso, do you still mean to stay in this building for a while?”
“Huh.”
This was just the right place to get in touch with Pierre.
“…Lord Calypso was supposed to move to the main base, but he refused to move, so instead, we decided to send those who will support from the main base to this place.”
“Who to support?”
“Yes, these are the maids who will serve on Lord Calypso.”
Only then did I knew the identity of those women standing in front of the door. The reason why I respectfully stand here. But only laughter came out.
‘Ah, is it finally worth putting on a rope?’
The fact that I went to an elementary school and skipped the grade on the first day must have already been known to my nature. Looking at the fact that I finally took action, my prediction that people would show interest only if they went to the top half was right. Heck, it’s because the older brothers above me are idiot-crazed prisoners. Aside from their personalities, they should have been rather excellent and geniuses.
‘However… The clothes the maids are wearing look more expensive than the walls of the building where I live…’
The maids all had benign faces. To be precise, they were staring at me with a curious expression. Most of them had bright faces, and I didn’t see anyone dissatisfied with the situation. Huh, from the point of view of those people, it would have been like being suddenly sent to a place of exile. Was it a poker face? I found a man standing alone among the maids, helpless. It was Mass. A maid who was assigned here a while ago. And Su-in, who had a genius talent for discovering the ‘water source’.
“Well, it would be nice if it was me, but… I want to decide who is in charge of me.”
“If you say you’re in charge.”
“I mean the nanny or nurse. It looks like you don’t intend to put it that far, but it doesn’t matter if I decide, right?”
“Yes? Yes. Yes, but…”
“Then let’s do it with him.”
The attendant who followed my fingertips made a puzzled expression. I approached Misa, who was standing alone.
“Misaya. He was a person who was here from the beginning, and in the meantime, he has become a lot of support.”
“Yes…?”
Of course, even though we met for the first time a few days ago, people say that a thousand-year bond can be formed in just a few days.
‘Well, we barely talked.’
Misa turned to me with a puzzled face similar to that of an attendant. Something in her restrained the shape of her mouth as she tried to pout.
“It means that he was kind to me, kind, cared for me, and took good care of ‘meals’. Especially meals.”
“…You mean the meal?”
“Huh. Meal. I know that killer whales and whale children, including me, are born weak.”
So why didn’t you leave it here? To raise only the surviving children.
“Then you should at least feed me… Wouldn’t one of us survive as a kid with superior stamina and physique? Grandma, no, I know the head of the family set the rules like that.”
“You’re right.”
“I starved a lot in my childhood… I almost couldn’t show my talent to the head of the family.”
This was something I would never have been able to say if I hadn’t been recognized for my talent. But there was a saying. People said that when they hold power, they make things that shouldn’t be done. No, but it’s not as if politicians go to the hospital for no reason and receive treatment with the first free pass. If my status has changed in a few days. There was no need to use this and rot it.
‘I have no intention of letting go of the previous maid who starved and beat me.’
What came here were newborn babies who couldn’t speak or walk. I never intended to leave the maids alone who lived for the fun of abusing them.
“Really, who knows what other talented kid might have died here?”
“…It’s a pity, princess, only the strong survive.”
“It is the rule of the killer whale family. I know.”
I smiled.
“But, then, enduring a scalding hot bath, enduring eating rag-smelling food, or enduring a stomach upset without medication are set trials?”
Some of the maids who were listening to this became contemplative. There were also those who blocked their mouths. Was he right? These were things you guys have done before, right?
“You mean someone did something like that?”
“Well, I heard that management is something that nature does?”
“…”
“Aren’t you curious what I’ll be talking about when I meet up with her grandmother someday?”
I wouldn’t see my grandmother again unless I build up some achievements. Besides her, she had something to say.
“I’m thinking of doing it for my dad, though. They wondered how I’ve been.”
“Pi, you mean Pierre?”
“Huh. My father.”
I immediately smiled brightly. I meant, I would use everything I could eat.
“Oh, did you know that I was in the top class at the institution, but you didn’t know this?”
“…”
I wouldn’t have known If my every move leaked out. I was sure the words I mentioned about my father would have gone out.
“My dad is very curious about me. I was thinking of going to see you today.”
“Hey, Calypso.”
“Huh?”
“We will proceed with the investigation.”
