At the dragon festival.
“That’s right. Won’t it be held in the dragon city?”
She listened to their stories while munching on the sausage. The topic they raised was about the imperial festival held once a year. It was also a place to honor the dragon and the dragon Duke.
‘That seems to be held this year as well.’
To be precise, it was a festival to commemorate the guardian deity of the empire, and to prevent the dragon Duke from trespassing on the imperial family. It was also a place where the imperial family consolidated surveillance.
‘Cancer, it’s the dragon that blew away the entire empire in the previous episode.’
And at the festival… Of course there must be a dragon Duke she had to meet. It was an intriguing affair.
“Can a prisoner like us go there? This year, only land animals and beasts will be invited, well.”
This world was a place where discrimination was rampant. Since it was a world where land animals were dominant, only land animal beasts could enter the Dragon Festival unless they were specially invited.
“It’s a shame. I really want to see you.”
She knew. She wanted to see this festival too. How come there was no way?
‘I want to take a look at the dragon duke before going to the bride.’
“Unfortunately… I can’t help it. Ah! Did you all hear? Lady Calypso, they say the head of the family is coming back soon!”
She blinked wide as she erased the Dragon Festival for a moment.
“Are you coming back?”
“Kyaaaaah, you are cute, you are so cute.”
“Did you just wink, Princess?”
“It’s not like that, but I’ll do it one more time, so tell me in more detail.”
“Kyaaaagh!”
After all the commotion, Eiya opened her mouth.
“The head of the household is away for a while and then comes back in three months. I heard that there will be a family meeting as soon as you come.”
“The vassals are very busy.”
Umm, somehow, even though there was something that could have been a little noisy, her grandmother said there was no action. Was she gone for a while? She looked at the maids anew.
‘You know the news of nature, right?’
Even though they were living together in a shabby building with her right now.
“You know me well?”
“Yes. Our herring sisters are everywhere.”
“Even in nature!”
That’s right. she wanted to ask for more useful information than she thought.
‘It’s a family meeting.’
The killer whale family became the head of the man who led the aquatic animal masters with the ‘power of water’. Of course, most of the vassal families were aquatic animals, to the point where it hurted to talk about them. The first trail was a whale family excluding killer whales, and the second trail was aquatic animals.
‘Grandma didn’t look at her as a vassal, so if she got it wrong, she would call her a fisherman.’
It’s always a question of words, whether something is broken or someone is blown away by the grandmother’s personality. It was a meeting where something always happened.
“Shouldn’t we introduce Lady Calypso to everyone at the meeting?”
“Right, right!”
Well, although her grandmother didn’t kick her out to another building unlike other episodes… No, no.
‘I came to the top class at the age of 3, can I expect a little bit?’
Being introduced at the meeting was nothing more than a place to show off one’s great talent as a member of the killer whale lineage.
‘Besides, the best in the top class ate too.’
It was an achievement that could not be ignored.
‘How can I brag about this?’
The corners of her mouth itched. After, it’s a happy worry. She really wanted to see that old woman’s face wrinkled.
‘I don’t have a place to skip a class anymore, so what should I do to attract attention?’
But it was only for a moment. Without a moment to think about it, the spoon was suddenly pushed out. It looked orange.
“Calypso, do it!”
This…!
“Next, carrots!”
“…Ugh.”
She had lived for about 60 years in total over and over again, but there were some things she couldn’t get used to. She said with dignity.
“I don’t eat carrots.”
When she refused, Dede, who was also in charge of cooking, burst into tears.
“Is it because I made it tasteless? Sorry…!”
“Yes? Uh, that’s not it…!”
While she hesitated, she let go of the fork and quickly covered her face.
“Sorry! Someone like me shouldn’t have cooked!”
“Oh, no, no.”
…She was good to those weaker than me! So, with tears in her eyes, she opened her mouth.
“Only this time…!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
But neither she nor Dede nor the other maids here knew. The fact that another carrot dish would be served tomorrow…
She burned her fighting spirit by combatively chewing carrots like an enemy.
Bang, 3 years old.
‘You mean there’s going to be a family meeting?’
An unexpected goal appeared in front of her. Was there any way she could somehow put her name on the family council?
‘I think it would be best if I was introduced.’
As of right now, she couldn’t go to secondary institutions right away. From there, the physical ability must be supported. It wouldn’t be a place with gossip like Karon.
‘Even if I go to my dad and ask for more training, there’s no way he’ll wake up overnight.’
There was no way that an awakening that has not happened so far would suddenly happen. Then, in this situation, if they tried their best, there was something they could do…
‘Should I meet my brother?’
In this Acquaciadel family, she had three older brothers. Where had she heard the story? But wasn’t her version the parenting material despair? Unfortunately, Siscom’s older brother was not here. Anything… There were only killer whales who fell to their knees only after being stepped on by her.
“Hahaha, you beat me! I will follow you as the family head!”
“You won, step on me.”
“…”
The third time, the older brothers who had been stepped on by her generously let her go, asking her to stomp on their back.
“You really are the crazy killer whale of our family!”
“The pride of our orcas!”
“I’ve never seen a guy crazier than me!”
There was no warm brother’s gaze at this lovely little sister. A sense of awe as if seeing a crazy genius, and even the illusion of seeing her as a younger sister, as if they could stand on each other’s shoulders… Did they think there was only a sticky comradeship? That said, if the older brothers in her family had normal personalities, that wasn’t the case.
‘Of the three idiots in this house, which one should I see first?’
Now, if her grandmother had returned, all family news would have been heard. She bet her fins on that.
‘To be honest, if I were going to become the head of household, I would have taken medicine in advance from now on, but…’
This world was heavily influenced by lineage, whether it be land or aquatic. Even within the same aquatic creature, there was a difference depending on what kind of animal the parent animal was. She knew well the talented people who were not noticed due to this discrimination.
‘Because I gathered those outsiders and conquered the family.’
But now she had no intention of bringing them back together.
‘It bothered me. What are you going to leave anyway…’
Why didn’t time pass so quickly? At the end of today’s education, the children came running to her.
“Gongnyo-nim!”
“Gongnyo-nim!!”
Beluga twins. Moreover, it wasn’t just the two of them, but a child shyly bowed her head between them. She was Niro, a ghost whale beast. It was quite large, but had a docile impression.
“See you again tomorrow!”
“Bar again!”
“Gongnyo-nim! I want to become stronger too!”
“Gongnyo-nim, I’m going to eat rice tomorrow!”
“Yes, yes. I’ll see you tomorrow. And I will eat alone.”
She couldn’t show her dislike of eating carrots.
When she refused, the ghost whale baby was sullen, but when she stroked her hand, she raised her head again. Although, of course, the only thing she was able to pet was because this ghost whale child bent down to her knees one step below her. In the meantime, Luga and Luba, who had approached her, grabbed her hand. Unfazed, she faced the twins.
“Did you forget what I asked you today?”
“Of course! I’ll ask Dad right away!”
“As soon as possible! I will ask him.”
“Good.”
She lifted her tiptoe and stroked the twins’ heads as well. This was also possible because the twins were one step below her and bent at the knees like Niro. Still, it’s a secret that the fact that she had to stand on tiptoe hurt her pride a little.
“Good. Don’t forget.”
“Yes!”
“By the way, Mr. Gongnyo!”
Even after the greeting, the twins did not leave right away and hovered around her. She was about to go down the stairs, but she tilted her head. The twins looked at each other for a moment, then hesitantly approached and lifted her up with one hand at a time. It was a kama ride that she had experienced.
“You…!”
