The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 120

‘Raon can understand what divine beasts say?’

Even after Raon finished speaking, I had to blink for quite a while. No, Raon is a fox, so he could understand animal speech…

But wait, divine beasts aren’t animals, are they?

Besides, Raon isn’t completely an animal either. He’s half human, right?

Even though that divine beast has the perfect appearance of a bunting, the fact remains that it’s Ayan’s divine beast.

Didn’t I already confirm the power of nature that divine beasts use?

“No, how is that possible? Then you can understand animal speech too?”

“Um… I’m not sure. I haven’t tried it, but it seems like it might be possible…”

Raon spoke while glancing at me slightly. Why is he being cautious?

I grabbed both of Raon’s hands firmly.

“Amazing! Really amazing!”

I shook Raon’s hands vigorously. My goodness, to be able to interpret divine beast speech.

This would be a very useful ability considering future events.

“You also made my power incredibly strong. You have such amazing abilities. So cool!”

“Uh… yeah.”

Raon’s cheeks, which had been blinking blankly, soon turned cherry blossom pink.

Then they became even more flushed, and now I could see autumn leaves. In other words, they turned bright red.

“I’m happy that I could help.”

A pretty face with pretty colors – the harmony was perfect.

That’s when it happened. Large hands grabbed both my wrists and lifted them slightly.

The man’s hands naturally made me raise my arms in surrender, and I blinked in bewilderment.

“How long are you going to keep holding on?”

“Huh?”

“You must be busy. Shouldn’t you listen to what it has to say as quickly as possible?”

Ah, that’s right.

I brought Raon here for a reason.

“Hey, bunting.”

I knew this bird’s name, but I pretended not to and called it by what I could see. The bird chirped and tilted its head.

‘So cute…!’

This was similar to when I first saw Raon in person. As I was thinking this, I saw something sliding up from my sleeve.

It was Bam-bam, who usually wrapped around my wrist as if present yet absent. It peeked its head out to look at me.

‘Am I cute too?’

-It seemed to be asking, so I clutched my heart. My little heart won’t survive today…

“Medicinal materials good for the heart…”

“What?”

“No, it’s nothing. Raon, I’ll ask questions so translate what he says.”

“Okay.”

I glanced at the alley entrance and then turned my head toward the bird.

“Hello?”

The situation was urgent, but I casually greeted first.

Chirp chirp!

The bunting spread its short wings wide and tried to place them on its chest while whining. Then it greeted…?

“Your, your…”

Raon was momentarily flustered.

“Your?”

“…Your esteemed health has been most robust, I trust.”

“Huh?”

…Did I hear wrong?

I looked back and forth between Raon and the cute bunting.

“Raon? This isn’t the time to joke around.”

“No, it’s not that…”

Raon didn’t know what to do. There was no reason for this kid to joke around in this situation. That wasn’t his personality either.

So I was confused.

‘What kind of language is this that I’ve barely heard even when meeting the Emperor…’

I quickly continued speaking.

“You’re a divine beast, right? Why were you in human form?”

Chirp chirp! Tweet! Peep! Peep peep! Tweet!

“…I am a divine beast serving my great Master. I temporarily borrowed my Master’s great form…”

“…”

Tweet tweet! Chirp chirp!

“…to seek out good people and ask for their help.”

I couldn’t continue speaking.

That’s because the bunting’s speech pattern that Raon was translating was absolutely incredible.

…Why does this tiny thing talk like this?

‘There was no such setting in the book?’

Right, there wouldn’t have been. None of the original characters could understand divine beast language.

Don’t tell me Brother Gyewon’s divine beast also speaks like this?

I shook my head vigorously.

“…Raon, it’s not that I doubt you. That speech pattern is correct, right?”

“Huh? Yeah… I didn’t lie… There’s no way I would.”

Raon became dejected while reading the situation. I was startled and waved my hands.

“Of course our Raon wouldn’t lie! What a good fox you are!”

That was the moment.

Perk!

‘Huh?’

Triangular shapes suddenly popped up on top of Raon’s head. They were fluffy fox ears. And they were twitching back and forth.

…What, so cute!

“…Am I our good Raon? Am I good?”

“Of course!”

Raon grinned widely. He curved his eyes and bowed his head slightly.

“Then can I pet you?”

“Huh? Of course!”

What’s so difficult about that? I pretended to touch his head while actually touching his fluffy ears. Wow, so soft!

“…I can see the sprout.”

The man who had been silent casually threw out a comment.

“Sprout? What kind of sprout?”

“It’s there. The sprout of a villain.”

Villain? Who? Our Raon? As I tilted my head in confusion, the man just brushed it off saying ‘that’s just how it is.’

Anyway, this wasn’t what was important.

I almost got caught up with the bunting who, despite its cute appearance, spoke in polite scholarly language.

‘You were looking for someone to ask for help?’

Doesn’t that connect with what was said about Ayan being trapped?

“Is your master in danger?”

Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp!

This time I could understand without translation. The bunting cried out loudly and wailed.

The sight of it nodding while tears gushed from its small, round, bean-like eyes was clearly a yes to anyone watching.

“Calm down. We’re people who came to help Ayan. So if you answer accurately, that would be good.”

Chirp chirp chirp…! Chirp! Chirp chirp! Cheep!

“…I will answer anything you wish. For my master’s sake, I would give my life…”

“What a warrior.”

The man who had been watching us let out a leisurely observation. I had similar thoughts, but this wasn’t the time for that.

“Then you can tell us where Ayan is, right? It would be good if you could guide us.”

Chirp chirp! Chirp chirp! Chirp!

“Leave it to me! …is what it says. Ahaha.”

Raon scratched his cheek.

Good. With this, we should be able to reach where Ayan is without the help of Jeokyunha’s subordinates.

Now what remains is….

‘Just telling Uncle the truth.’

Thinking about how shocked Uncle would be, I was already full of worry. Would his illness get worse?

‘But there’s no choice.’

No matter how well we explain it, Uncle will think it’s because of him.

“Is there something troubling you? I thought you’d leave right away.”

“Ah….”

I hesitated for a moment, but soon honestly asked the man if it would be okay to tell Uncle the truth.

“This is something I should definitely tell you without hesitation.”

“Huh? Without hesitation?”

“Yes.”

For some reason, the man wrapped his other hand around the bunting that had started chirping and shedding tears again on his palm.

“If it were me, I’d want to know everything. How my daughter lived while I was gone. What hardships she went through.”

I hesitated.

“…What if it happened because of your own fault?”

The man was silent for a moment. Then he slowly opened his mouth. Both hesitation and caution were visible.

“I should humbly accept that fault as well. I think it’s better than turning away from it.”

“…”

“Wouldn’t you prefer a father who knows how to apologize rather than one who turns away from his mistakes?”

The firm hands protecting the fragile baby bunting that seemed ready to crumble at any moment looked unbalanced against the man’s cold expression.

“Of course, apology and forgiveness are separate matters.”

Every time he spoke while looking at me and stroking the baby bird, I even had the illusion that he was stroking me.

“You don’t necessarily have to forgive me.”

“…”

“But if the opportunity arises, I’d like it if you could give me just one chance.”

The man slightly opened his hand. The baby bird that had stopped crying was visible. Curious about something, the bird was looking at the man with inquisitive eyes.

In that bird, I seemed to see my past self. My past self who had hope while watching Dad gradually regain his memories.

Just because he wiped away one tear… you’re looking at him like that? What if he’s a bad person?

What if he could hurt you even more?

For a moment, I couldn’t tell if I wanted to say this to the baby bird or to myself, who had wavered briefly.

“Hei Biyu. That’s a good name.”

I was startled for a moment when words that didn’t fit the situation flowed out.

‘Hei Biyu. That’s a good name.’

‘…’

‘You chose well.’

I pressed my lips tightly together.

I’d heard those words before. Do you think I’ll stupidly open the latch again to similar words?

No matter how starved I am for affection.

“I remember. I looked through more than 50 dictionaries I’d never touched in my life just to choose one character for my daughter’s name.”

“…”

Starved for affection, but…

At the man’s continued gentle voice, I ended up raising my head.

“The ‘Bi ‘ in your name was chosen with the hope that you’d be like the wind.”

“…”

“To be free like the wind. Unlike Narang.”

Why was this happening? Even though I had decided not to give my affection and distanced myself again.

The man, Dad, managed to recall his memories and strode over to my side.

I realized that my latch was not loose.

…My heart ached.
