The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 106

 

The man’s eyes widened as if they might tear.

 

As expected, I couldn’t understand why I had said this myself.

 

Perhaps it was because of my sense of exhaustion that I no longer cared whether the man knew or not, or maybe I said it because I wanted him to understand.

 

Or maybe it was because I knew that even if I said this, I would forget it again someday.

 

Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter.

 

“What… do you mean by that?”

 

It wasn’t something that could be understood at once.

 

Especially since I had never heard of any other ability user in this world besides me who had the power to heal using lifespan as the cost.

 

“Healing by using lifespan? What… nonsense are you talking about.”

 

But seeing the man’s expression crumple as he questioned me back made me feel irritated.

 

I knew from the beginning that it was hard to believe, but his reaction still made anger surge within me.

 

No, let’s not mind it.

 

“Believe it or not, do as you please. I told you the truth.”

 

Just then, I felt the wind had weakened, so I walked away to avoid the man.

 

No, I tried to walk away.

 

Whooooosh!

 

‘Hey, you crazy wind!’

 

I had really only tried to take one step. Unbelievably, a whirlwind pushed me back, preventing me from moving forward.

 

“…Didn’t you say your ability was running wild on its own.”

 

The one who supported my back was the man. I huffed in annoyance for no reason. After all, you’re the one who made it so I couldn’t leave!

 

I looked up at the man with sharp eyes.

 

Unexpectedly, the man had a troubled expression.

 

“I wasn’t thinking of calling it a lie or denouncing it as fake.”

 

“…”

 

“I was just flustered because I heard something too unbelievable.”

 

I narrowed my eyes. It was because these words sounded like an apology.

 

“A method of healing using lifespan – I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

 

“How would you know? You don’t have any memories anyway.”

 

At my clear retort, the man smiled faintly, almost imperceptibly. It was a cold smile.

 

“If there were such a method in the world, or a physician who could use such a method, my mother would have already used it.”

 

“…”

 

“To save a dog that was more useful and valuable than anyone else.”

 

The face saying this was exactly the same as the pessimistic expression that viewed everything negatively when I first met him.

 

“That… do you remember? Like your mother’s face or something.”

 

“The problem is that only the unpleasant faces remain in my memory.”

 

The man replied monotonously.

 

“Good things always disappear.”

 

I stared intently at the man and let out a small sigh. The man hesitated for a moment.

 

“Anyway, I didn’t intend to sell you out.”

 

“You don’t need to be so considerate when you speak. It’s strange.”

 

“….”

 

Is it because of that medical journal after all? The man must have seen all the contents too. The journal was still in my hands.

 

I almost took this with me.

 

“I understand. I’ll understand that those were words that came out because you were flustered. But it makes me think twice about whether I should cooperate with someone whose words just come out carelessly.”

 

“….”

 

I held out the medical journal. The man showed a momentarily flustered expression. Instead of taking the journal, he tilted his head slightly.

 

He looked somewhat anxious.

 

Seeing that face, I postponed my immediate plan to leave.

 

“Then shall we do it this way?”

 

* * *

 

A moment later,

 

I was standing in the yard of Great Uncle’s house. To be precise, I was floating gently in the air.

 

“Say hello. This is someone who will be a collaborator and my bodyguard from now on… Mr. Hei Bihu.”

 

I glanced ahead.

 

“Well now, are my eyes playing tricks on me~”

 

Starting with Uncle who had his arms crossed and an expressionless face.

 

“…My eyes seem strange too. Father.”

 

Brother Gyewon who couldn’t hide his bewilderment and had his mouth open. Even Raon who peeked out from behind Brother Gyewon.

 

I stared at Uncle’s face.

 

Uncle’s expressionless face was rare, so my gaze kept going to it.

 

Great Uncle looked toward the man for a long while, then tilted his head in puzzlement.

 

“…? Niece? Great Uncle doesn’t know what’s changed.”

 

Great Uncle made an exaggeratedly puzzled expression.

 

“I don’t know at all!”

 

The intent of the question would be why he’s still a bodyguard when your father lost his memory.

 

I said firmly.

 

“It’s very different.”

 

“What’s different?”

 

“He’s a stranger now.”

 

Of course I understand this confusion. I nodded while floating gently as if I understood.

 

“Aha?”

 

Great Uncle clapped his hands. This was only momentary.

 

“Ahaha, ahahahahaha!”

 

He started laughing loudly, holding his stomach.

 

He laughed so wildly like a madman that even Brother Gyewon looked at his father as if he were insane.

 

“Wow, this is fun…”

 

After a moment, Uncle wiped his tears and straightened his back. His expression was different from before.

 

“Good. So I just need to watch that strange uncle suffer from the sidelines, right?”

 

Uncle stared at the man while speaking each word with emphasis. His tone was sly.

 

…Strange uncle? You’re an uncle too, aren’t you?

 

“…Who’s going to suffer?”

 

Meanwhile, the man spoke with a calm expression.

 

Regardless, Brother Gyewon looked at the man who was once his uncle and nodded.

 

“I see. …I’ll call you Mr. Hei Bihu from now on.”

 

Brother played along with a somewhat solemn expression. Though he seemed quite composed for such a situation.

 

“…I’ll call you that too!”

 

Raon, who hesitantly followed along, was rather cute. Fox ears were sticking up from his disheveled hair, as if he had just woken up.

 

I tried to cross my arms but failed, so I placed my chubby arms on my hips and thought.

 

‘What a mess.’

 

A little while ago at Father’s House, I had finished what could be called negotiations, or rather, a simple discussion with the man.

 

The man claimed that his power refused to let me go.

 

‘…I’m trying, but it’s not working well.’

 

‘It’s your own power, but you can’t control it?’

 

‘I’m troubled too. This is the first time something like this has happened.’

 

The man raised his hand and waved it around as if to show he was making an effort.

 

Then the wind took on color, and I could clearly see its flow.

 

The newly generated wind from the man’s hand pushed against the wind holding me, but it didn’t budge at all.

 

‘This is the situation.’

 

So that’s how I ended up here, helplessly caught and floating by the man’s wind.

 

“This person’s power won’t let me go.”

 

“Should I give him a sharp shock with lightning?”

 

“Don’t kill him.”

 

Even Uncle, who offered to use lightning, didn’t seem to have a clear solution and just pondered with a “hmm.”

 

I glared disapprovingly at the wind that was still holding me.

 

‘Isn’t this all a lie?’

 

You weren’t someone who couldn’t control your own power. Aren’t you deliberately keeping me captured?

 

It was a reasonable deduction, but no matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for a father with no memories to deliberately hold me captive.

 

So I decided to accept and make use of this damn situation.

 

‘I won’t give any more affection.’

 

Anyway, I decided to think that I just need to achieve my goal and that’s it.

 

‘About the lifespan…’

 

‘I’m sorry, I misspoke.’

 

Our conversation from a moment ago ended like this. It was something that came out suddenly, but I didn’t want to cover it up or make excuses that it was a lie.

 

“Anyway, since things turned out this way, would it be okay if we lived here together? Uncle.”

 

For some reason, the moment I called Uncle, I felt a gaze from beside me. I spoke while ignoring the Man’s obvious stare.

 

Uncle looked back and forth between me and the Man, then grinned. Somehow it wasn’t a very pleasant smile to see.

 

“Sure! If our Niece wants it. Shall we take in a freeloader?”

 

Uncle rubbed his chin.

 

“It seems like it’ll be fun.”

 

* * *

 

The next day.

 

“Hey, this, crazy! Crazy!”

 

Uncle, who had been sleeping due to illness, opened his eyes and caused quite a commotion.

 

‘Why is this guy here? What? He’s living here together? Are you crazy?’

 

This was the trigger. Uncle, who came to Uncle’s house as soon as he woke up, discovered the Man who was beside me.

 

When I introduced the Man to Uncle as a bodyguard, he started going absolutely wild.

 

“What’s changed?! Did you forgive him?”

 

He looked ready to do a tap dance too.

 

In the midst of this, perhaps having some sense, a barrier made of Water was spread around me and Uncle.

 

I stared at the sound-blocking barrier and answered.

 

“Who said anything about forgiveness.”

 

At my words, Uncle visibly calmed down. After hearing the situation, he made a face of grumbling but trying hard to endure it.

 

“What, Wind Power can’t be controlled? Bullshit. Sounds like Water Stream flowing backwards, hah!”

 

Saying this, he tried to do something about the Wind circling around me, but when he realized it wouldn’t work, he changed tactics.

 

He hugged me in front of the Man and stuck out his tongue…

 

“…What are you doing?”

 

“Damn Brother bastard, get jealous.”

 

Is he really an elementary schooler? Something that even Brother Gyewon wouldn’t do, no. Something even Raon wouldn’t do!

 

The Water Barrier that had been blocking our voices had long since disappeared.

 

I shook my head and said what I was going to say.

 

“Anyway, today I’m going to visit the Family Head. So Uncle Poo should stay here with the Medicine… Uncle Poo? Are you listening?”

 

It was finally the day to go meet the Family Head. The Family Head had set today as the date for the appointment I had been putting off.

 

“Yeah yeah, I’m listening. I’m listening.”

 

I lifted my head up with displeasure. Uncle was holding me while looking somewhere.

 

At the end of his gaze was a man.

 

Uncle smugly stroked my head.

 

“Oh my, our niece, her hair is so soft like silk, right?”

 

“…Are you crazy?”

 

It was absurd.

 

What’s the difference between this and a child showing off saying ‘You don’t have anything like this at your house, do you?’

 

“Hmm, only I can hold her like this. While we’re on the topic, why don’t you try calling me Dad from today?”

 

“You really are crazy. Say one more word. I won’t make medicine for you.”

 

Besides, even if he does this, that man over there has a peaceful face since he can’t remember anything, so what’s the point of this one-man show?

 

“Ah, why. Don’t be like that, just try it once? Come on, repeat after me. Da, ddy.”

 

“Ugh, stop it.”

 

I was about to sigh and tell him to stop…

 

Whoooosh!

 

A whirlwind blew. I blinked my eyes just as I was speaking. Uncle who was definitely holding me had disappeared.

 

Only I was floating in the air.

 

‘What just passed by…’

 

I slowly turned my head. I could see Uncle who had been blown away by the wind and fallen down.

 

What is all this about?

 

“Damn it, what the hell are you doing!”

 

Hei Birang jerked his upper body up and glared fiercely at the man.

 

And the culprit of this incident, the man, had his arms crossed with a calm expression.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

The man shrugged his shoulders. With a nonchalant face.

 

“I can’t seem to control my strength these days.”

 

…He’s blaming it on the wind.
