“What is it?”
It was a cold voice, but I didn’t care. Because I have lived a life where it has been more difficult to find a voice that is not cold to me.
“The family motto and value of the Orca family is that the strong do everything as they please. In other words, I know that the strong can do anything. Is that right?”
“Speaking of which, your mouth hurts.”
I laughed and got up.
‘Well, it’s not tall enough.’
I glanced at my dad. It seemed a little finite to me today, didn’t it?
‘Abby, you need to look at this just once.’
I stepped on my dad’s thighs and climbed onto his desk.
‘Ah, I can finally see it clearly now.’
My vassals were agitated by my sudden action, but they paid no attention.
“Awesome…!”
I think I heard some strange sentiments from Agenor, who had been silent the whole time. But I ignored it.
“In that case, Grandma. The biggest issue on the agenda that my grandmother brought today was that there was a ‘fight’ in the end. I was originally scheduled to attend this highest disciplinary committee as a ‘victim’. You can ask this of the two people, including Laila, who participated as chairperson.”
“I have an objection, grandma!”
“Grandma, I listened while Bayan spoke.”
I shouted loud enough to drown out Bayan’s voice.
“If you’ll let me keep it fair, I can show you something very interesting.”
Bayan you bastard, your turn is over. Now it’s my turn.
“I allow it. Bayan, shut up.”
“But, do…!”
“Hey Bayan. Didn’t the head of the family tell you to be quiet?”
When her quiet eldest mother spoke monotonously but firmly, Bai Yan flinched and she retreated.
‘If I had just left her talking, her grandmother would have hit her once. It’s a shame.’
I got another chance.
“Well, I have a different opinion with Bayan, so let’s just talk about the fight. In every fight there is a winner and a loser. The important thing is, the winner of this fight was me. grandma.”
I proudly placed my hand on my chest.
“Grandma, as you can see, Bayan didn’t come alone that day, but brought about a dozen companions, about four of whom attacked Agenor who was with her, and the rest attacked me.”
To be precise, it seems to have been divided 3:7, but the numbers were slightly raised on Agenor’s side.
“I won this gang fight by destroying my opponent, grandma.”
Bai Yan disobeyed her grandmother’s warning and continued before she could say anything.
“Ah, of course, opinions about victory will be divided. I am three years old this year, and the fact that I am alive and breathing well and participating in this event without any problem is proof that I am a winner, isn’t it? At this age, I beat the killer whales who were attending intermediate institutions.”
Everyone became quiet. Probably so. Because they must have realized my age now.
“Just now, the witnesses in Bayan also said something that hurts, right? Because she was Pierre’s daughter, she fought really well. Then I am the winner, and according to the will of the Orca family, I just did what I wanted as the winner. What on earth went wrong here?”
I grinned.
“Even if I cursed those guys, I can’t fight back. I am strong and a winner.”
“…”
All the testimonies that have come out so far are based on the assumption that I fought on equal footing with those guys. What I’m saying is that their testimony now supports my opinion in the exact opposite way.
“Like this, I understand very well the will of my ancestors and the solemn will of my grandmother, the head of the family, that only the strong who have been handed down in our orca family for generations rule everything.”
However, these words cannot overturn their claims that I am the perpetrator, that I insulted my parents, and that I started the fight. I wasn’t prepared to end it here.
“But grandma, if only the strong do everything as they please, how will the countless vassals here live? Not everyone can be a killer whale, and my wise grandmother knew this very well, so she set the rules.”
“…”
“Killer whales play the role of watching over aquatic animals.”
“…”
“In other words, her venerable grandmother had already specified that deciding everything through battle would at least be limited to the killer whales. That is the virtue of the strong.”
“…You know a lot. For a three year old.”
‘My God. For three year old subjects?’
This is what happens when you live for the fourth time in just three years. I spoke clearly, pretending not to have heard her grandmother’s cold sarcasm.
“I passed the class in just one day after entering Alpha Class, which is the best class among the whale classes at the beginner level. And I learned early on that the role of the killer whale is to look after the whales according to the will of the head of the family.”
“…”
“That day, in that fight, all I did was protect a child in my class. The reason the fight broke out was because Bayan captured my classmate and threatened to kill him just for being next to me, and I couldn’t stand it and accepted the fight.”
I raised my voice slightly.
“Respected grandmother, where on earth is my fault here?”
I am the winner, the victim, and the person who protected my classmates. The retainers who were listening to the newly presented circumstances were agitated for a moment. Among the people here, except for the killer whale collateral, all of them are ordinary aquatic animals. Unlike killer whales, who live their entire lives as strong men, these are ordinary beasts who sometimes become weak throughout their lives. For such prisoners, the fact that there is a mysterious victim in the middle is bound to cause a stir. Those guys must have ignored the fact that they cleverly or intentionally hurt Ruga and Luba.
“Do you also have a witness?”
What is coming has come. I held my breath briefly.
‘There is no way there is a witness like that guy.’
The only people on my side at that time were the Rugaruba twins, who also became victims, and Agenor, who fought alongside me. I glanced at Agenor.
‘Agenor, who fought alongside us, cannot play the same role as the servants presented as witnesses.’
When I nodded to Agenor, Agenor’s obsessive eyes sparkled.
“Is it my turn?”
“Stop whispering and come forward.”
Agenor raised his hand.
“Respected grandmother. Long time no see.”
“Yes, baby. From what I hear, it seems you are caught up in this fight?”
Her grandmother’s voice softened ever so slightly. Agenor nodded his head and spoke in much the same way as I said.
“I understand what you’re saying, baby. In the end, you are also a party to the fight. Then you must not be a witness. Are there any other witnesses?”
It couldn’t have happened. I can’t bring Rugaruba here, who is probably still receiving treatment. I had no intention of taking it.
“There are no witnesses.”
“does not exist?”
But I was confident that I would win this fight anyway, even if there were no witnesses…! That was the moment when she opened her mouth again, receiving her grandmother’s sad gaze.
“Matriarch, would you mind if I dare say a word to this meeting?”
When she turned her head, following the sudden interruption of her voice, there was a person there. The place I was standing on was the second platform from the bottom. Location close to the family head. It was a good spot.
‘That person…?’
My eyes widened when I saw the person standing up. She was a woman with pure white hair. Her bangs were curly, puffy, as if she had put some mulberry in them, and her eyes had pupils whose pupils were large in comparison to her irises. She had a very cute appearance, but her expression was cold and stern. It was only when I saw the man sitting next to me that I realized the woman’s identity.
“You open your mouth all the time.”
“I’m sorry.”
Rugaruba’s father was sitting next to the woman. When our eyes meet, he greets me with his eyes. Then that person is Rugaruba’s mother. She would be the head of the Beluga family.
‘She looks nothing like mother.’
Her mother looked quite similar to her prototype animal, the white dolphin. Compared to her cute appearance, her expression was cold enough to be brutal.
“Okay, what do you have to say when you get up? I guess I was prepared for it to be pointless.”
“Would it be possible? I got involved simply because my pet and I are not third parties in this incident. The classmate in the story the princess told you is the story of my twin sons.”
The chairman was once upset by the woman’s claims. I was surprised by something else.
‘Were the Beluga Beastmen a family powerful enough to be in that position?’
I didn’t know. That was natural. As I’ve already said a few times, in the previous episode, I returned to this family only after they had already been destroyed. In the first and second rounds, I was sold before I even had any contact with them.
“Respected Chief, I wish to attend as a witness on this agenda.”
