The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius
Chapter 118
Even considering that, the areas I’d visited where racial discrimination was rampant hadn’t stared at us with such hostile eyes.
“Excuse me, might you be Hei Biyu Physician and her companions?”
That’s when it happened. Someone approached us and greeted us politely.
“I’m Kay Brown. Please feel free to call me Kay. I’ve been waiting here on Jeok Yunha’s orders.”
Ah, I’d heard that Jeok Yunha had stationed several people in the city, so this person must be one of them.
“Shall we go somewhere quiet first?”
I looked at the companions behind me, especially Uncle whose expression had hardened, then shook my head.
“No, I’d like to go straight to our destination… would that be difficult?”
Kay seemed surprised by my clear way of speaking. Perhaps he was surprised that I answered when I had three large men with me.
“…It’s not difficult. Um, to get there we’d have to go through the largest downtown district, Physician. And… the people don’t know ‘yet’ how amazing a physician Hei Biyu Physician is.”
He was trying to sugarcoat it, but the gist was this: a warning that something might happen if we continued dressed in a way that showed we were Oriental People.
“Then what should we do?”
When I frowned slightly, Kay’s face brightened as if he’d been waiting for this.
“Please follow me for just a moment!”
* * *
“This city has strangely poor rumors and perceptions about Oriental People.”
A little later, Jeok Yunha’s subordinate Kay offered his own solution with an explanation.
“Finding out the inside story isn’t our role, so we don’t know the detailed circumstances either. But the atmosphere is hostile enough that they might resort to violence even against Oriental Person visitors just passing through the city, so I thought it was right to be cautious.”
Violence… The uncles in our group aren’t the type to just take a beating.
‘But it’s right to avoid it for the other party’s sake.’
Certainly this Empire still had contempt, mockery, and racial discrimination against Oriental People.
But there was at least some awareness that openly displaying it was uncouth.
‘…When that’s not the case, it’s one of two things.’
Either an excessively barbaric city, or someone intentionally directed hatred and hostility toward one place.
‘It’s probably the latter.’
This place isn’t a land that lives off war like a Foreign Country’s Central City or Border City, or a Conflict Zone.
Since it’s a place that lives normally off agriculture, the first option doesn’t apply.
So what Kay recommended was…
‘I’m wearing clothes like this at my age?’
Wearing Imperial Clothing.
Not only that, but he even gave Uncle, Uncle, and Brother Gyewon wigs to cover their black hair.
…I had to do my best not to laugh.
‘I could have made hair dye though.’
It’s no secret that I didn’t tell them about the wig until they insisted on trying it on.
“You should have told us if you had something like this!”
“Haha, if our niece is happy, then Uncle is happy~”
“…I wouldn’t have told either.”
Though Brother Gyewon seems a bit sulky.
“I thought Hei Biyu Physician already didn’t differ much from Westerners in hair and eye color, so just changing clothes would suffice…”
Kai looked at me and covered his mouth. His eyes were filled with admiration, as if he had seen something unexpectedly amazing.
“…The outfit we prepared suits you so well! It was clothing that Lady Yunha personally selected, and it seems her eye for fashion was excellent!”
I was given a pink dress. Even when I traveled the continent in my third life, I never wore clothes like this…
The man answered confidently.
“Lies, you’re going to tie hair? I don’t think you can do it at all.”
“Do you know about my past?”
I flinched at the sudden topic.
“…What? Assassination King?”
“You do know. By the way, I don’t like that tacky title. If I get the chance, I plan to punish whoever came up with that nickname.”
Ah, so I wasn’t the only one who found it a bit tacky. I still looked at the man with suspicious eyes.
“But assassination requires delicacy. I sometimes handled wire saws that went well with the wind.”
Wire saw… something like a wire with glass shards attached all over it? I remember seeing it in the 3rd round.
‘I thought my back would break treating all those group patients injured by that thing…’
As my gaze only grew sharper, the man became slightly flustered. His face said ‘this isn’t the reaction I expected.’
No, did he seriously think this was a legitimate reason to use? It was absurd.
“You’re quite honest in a different way.”
“…Isn’t being honest a good thing?”
That’s true. I shrugged my shoulders.
“But I’m still not letting you touch my hair. Put me down.”
“I’d appreciate it if you’d at least give me a chance to try.”
“Sure, if you can perfectly tie your own hair in symmetrical twin tails, I’ll acknowledge you.”
“…”
…What, why is he seriously considering it?!
I struggled and came down, finding it absurd.
‘Phew, it’s a good thing this is a secluded alley. If we had walked down the main street in that outfit, I can only imagine the stares we’d get… It’s obvious without even seeing.’
What on earth was Jeok Yunha’s subordinate, no. What was Jeok Yunha thinking when she ordered this?
I was thinking I should quickly hear the reason.
The man’s leg blocked my path.
“There’s a presence.”
“…A presence?”
The man whispered so only I could hear.
– Turn your head slightly to look at the end of the alley without being obvious. Look toward the left end.
Okay. I grabbed the man’s pant leg. Then I smiled brightly and raised my voice.
“Daddy!”
Then I hugged the man’s leg tightly. I felt the man’s leg stiffen, but this was brief as I pretended to bury my face while looking at the end of the alley.
Who on earth is there?
At that moment, I opened my eyes wide.
At the end of the alley, where light was seeping in. I saw a very small figure.
I stared blankly at the gently swaying blonde hair.
…Blonde hair?
And I clearly saw it. Round brown eyes looking at me.
Even the chubby cheeks.
‘Why does he look so… dirty?’
However, there was no time to think further.
Hei Ayan!
The Female Lead I had been searching for, Uncle’s one and only daughter!
I reached out my hand without hesitation.
“Fake daddy, catch her!”
…So this was a slip of the tongue. I had only meant to think it, but it just slipped out.
