A physician for Divine Beasts.
#110
A Diary that reveals new content depending on the owner’s Spiritual Energy Amount.
As I carefully turned the pages, faint writing began to surface slowly across what had been blank paper.
I held my breath and read through the contents.
─────────────
I’ve discovered something strange about the Fallen Ones recently.
They seem unusually obsessed with the concept of “Reincarnation.”
I don’t yet know what for, or what they’re searching for.
But one thing is certain: they continue to collect legends about Seol Un-hwa as well.
─────────────
“Reincarnation?”
I muttered the words aloud, my face blank with confusion.
“Is such a thing really possible?”
Jeong Ra-bit, who had been craning her neck to peek at the Diary from my right, opened her eyes wide.
“Sister, haven’t you heard the stories about Divine Beasts’ Reincarnation?”
“No. This is my first time hearing about it.”
“Ah… well, you did live as an ordinary person until recently.”
Ra-bit nodded and began to explain.
“Divine Beasts believe that their souls are connected across lives.”
“Connected?”
“Yes. It’s very rare, but there are stories passed down about Divine Beasts inheriting their ancestors’ memories or meeting their forebears in dreams and having conversations with them.”
She shrugged and finished her explanation.
“So many Divine Beasts believe in concepts like Reincarnation or the Reincarnation Cycle.”
“Wow…”
I let out an exclamation of wonder.
“If they inherit their ancestors’ memories, that really is like Reincarnation, isn’t it?”
“Something like that. Though it’s more of a legend than anything confirmed.”
Reincarnation, Seol Un-hwa, the Fallen Ones…
My mind tangled with these threads, and I knitted my brows together.
“But why would the Fallen Ones investigate Reincarnation? And why specifically the legend of Seol Un-hwa?”
At that moment, Ma Yun-sang, who had been standing to my left, spoke slowly.
“Wouldn’t they be searching for Seol Un-hwa’s reincarnation? From the Fallen Ones’ perspective, the Miao Clan—who purify Corrupt Energy—would be their greatest nuisance. They’d want to find the greatest Purifier among them and eliminate her before she becomes a threat.”
“Eeek!”
Ra-bit jumped in alarm, letting out a shriek.
Startled, a pair of fluffy rabbit ears sprang up from the top of her head.
“What if our sister is Seol Un-hwa’s reincarnation?! The Fallen Ones will pay even more attention to her!”
“Ah, come on.”
I laughed and waved my hand dismissively.
“I’m not some legendary physician like Hua Tuo or Master Heo Jun. There’s no way I could be a legendary being like Seol Un-hwa.”
Ra-bit puffed out her cheeks indignantly.
“You absolutely are that caliber of physician! You saved Chairman Baek, healed Yun-sang, fixed Si-heon, and… I can’t even count them all! It wouldn’t be strange at all if you were Seol Un-hwa’s reincarnation!”
Yun-sang also nodded with a serious expression.
“That’s right. You’re more than capable, Sister.”
“Why are you saying that too?”
“I mean it. And whether you’re Seol Un-hwa’s reincarnation or not, I’ll protect you.”
“Me too!”
Ra-bit raised her hand eagerly.
Yun-sang glanced at her sideways.
“…You?”
At his dismissive gaze, Ra-bit huffed and swung both fists around energetically.
“I’m plenty strong! Even if I don’t have bulging muscles like you, I’m quick! Haven’t you heard of a Rabbit Punch?”
“Oh my, how terrifying.”
Yun-sang let out a hollow laugh, as if exasperated.
I couldn’t help but smile watching my siblings bicker with each other.
‘How adorable they are.’
The idea that I could be Seol Un-hwa’s reincarnation was absurd.
‘How could I possibly be such a legendary figure?’
Even as I thought this, I glanced back down at Mother’s Diary.
I had a strong feeling this newly discovered information would also be important.
* * *

Baek Myodang Clinic had been closed for several days now.
Why the closure, you ask? It’s not summer vacation.
‘It’s Chuseok break, of course.’
Lunar New Year and Chuseok.
These two holidays are among the few times our clinic actually closes.
Everyone else seemed busy visiting hometowns or going on overseas trips, but I planned to spend Chuseok quietly at Baek Myodang with Alfred, just as usual.
‘Besides, Soon-mi was already worried about me just a few days ago.’
She’s the woman who runs a traditional Korean café and was close friends with my mother.
─ “Yeon-hee, won’t you really come celebrate with us?”
─ “No thanks, Auntie. I’m most comfortable here at Baek Myodang.
”
Ever since Mother passed away so suddenly, Soon-mi had always looked after me during holidays and breaks.
She’d suggest eating meals together or spending the holiday with her family.
But I’d always smiled and declined.
‘Your kindness alone is more than enough.’
I didn’t want to awkwardly impose myself and disrupt her family’s time together.
And today was Chuseok itself.
“Sigh. What beautiful weather.”
Sitting on a wooden platform in Baek Myodang Courtyard with my arms propped behind me, I tilted my head back to gaze up at the sky.
The high, clear autumn sky was painfully blue and beautiful.
‘If I said it didn’t feel lonely at all… that would be a lie.’
Everyone was busy with family and relatives, and I was alone.
The absence of family, which I usually didn’t feel so keenly, seemed sharper today.
‘On days like this, my friends are all busy too, so it feels wrong to reach out.’
My friends were kind—if I showed even a hint of loneliness, they’d become flustered with worry.
So as the holidays approached, I found myself putting on a stronger act of being fine.
“Alfred.”
I gently stroked the back of Alfred, who had settled onto my lap.
“I don’t need anything more than spending quiet time with you. That’s enough. Right?”
“Meow.”
Alfred purred and rubbed his head against my hand.
I rested my chin on my fingers and murmured.
“Hmm. Still, it’s Chuseok—I should make something delicious. What would you like, Alfred? Should I make some boiled chicken breast?”
“Meow!”
At those words, Alfred’s ears perked up.
I had the secret soy paste, soy sauce, and red chili paste given to me by the Hae Clan, so I could make delicious food whenever I wanted.
Remarkably, just adding those seasonings made even simple soy paste soup taste like it was made by a master chef—deep, complex, and rich.
‘I’ll change my mood by making something tasty.’
Keeping the mind empty is best done by keeping the body busy.
But… perhaps I’d gotten too busy.
Several hours later, in the kitchen on the second floor of Baek Myodang.
“Phew. I’ve made way too much doing all these things.”
I wiped my forehead with the back of my hand and murmured awkwardly.
Soy paste soup, japchae, meatballs, various pancakes, and vegetable side dishes—I’d prepared far too much for just one person to eat.
And then it happened.
Rumble, rumble—
The area outside the building suddenly became noisy.
I tilted my head and approached the window, my eyes widening in surprise.
“What…? What’s going on?”
Baek Eun-ho at the front, followed by Jeong Ra-bit, Ma Yun-sang, Yang Si-heon, and even Jin Do-gyeong.
Suddenly, Divine Beasts came pouring in and filled the entire Baek Myodang Courtyard!
I hurried down the stairs and rushed out into the yard.
“What, what is this, everyone?”
Baek Eun-ho, standing at the very front, rubbed the back of his neck and cleared his throat.
“I only came because Father asked me to bring some Chuseok food to Go-seongsaeng. But…”
Baek Eun-ho’s gaze shifted to the side.
“I didn’t realize Go-seongsaeng was this popular.”
From behind him, Jeong Ra-bit grinned widely and lifted a box with both hands.
“Sister! These are Tteokpyeon that our family made! You know Chuseok means Moon Rabbit, right? Our Rabbit Clan’s Tteokpyeon is absolutely delicious! You have to try it!”
“Oh, thank you…?”
As I took the box with a bewildered expression, Ma Yun-sang now shyly averted his gaze and offered me the bag he’d brought.
“I… well, I also have no family to spend Chuseok with. You seemed like you’d be alone too, so…”
Yun-sang scratched his cheek awkwardly.
“I brought some things to have fun together.”
The bag was filled with Board Games.
“…”
I had to suppress my laughter.
Why is he so endearing? He’s really like my little brother.
Then Yang Si-heon approached with a faint smile.
“Yeon-hee, I was also planning to spend this Chuseok alone.”
“Really? You’re not visiting your parents?”
“I told them I wouldn’t use my Divination Ability in my work, and they got quite angry about it.”
“Ah…”
“So I thought maybe I’d take you on a drive instead.”
Si-heon glanced around and offered a rueful smile.
“Though it seems I’m late.”
Then Detective Jin Do-gyeong waved her hand vigorously.
“Director! Our team captain asked me to pass along her regards too.”
She smiled and extended a large gift bundle.
“It’s a tea and pastry set that our team prepared. They say it’s from a famous shop.”
“Oh… thank you.”
I was awkwardly accepting it when—
Do-gyeong suddenly sniffed the air and looked around.
“My, but there’s quite a sweet fragrance drifting around here.”
“A sweet fragrance?”
I tilted my head in confusion.
“I just finished frying things, so it should only smell like oil…”
“No, that’s not it—”
She answered matter-of-factly.
“Affection has a sweet scent.”
In that instant, every Divine Beast in the courtyard suddenly turned their heads to stare at Jin Do-gyeong.
