The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 122

 

Uncle and Little Uncle looked bewildered, but only for a moment. Soon Uncle chuckled as if he found it amusing.

 

“Well, well, giving all the rough work to your big brother while you only want to be a bodyguard for the princesses?”

 

“Who’s the big brother?”

 

“…’Princesses’?”

 

Dad’s expression turned serious, and beside him, Raon muttered as if slightly shocked. I quietly averted my gaze elsewhere.

 

Sorry, Raon. But I agree too… I just can’t bring myself to say that I’m prettier than you.

 

“Well, well, since you beat me to it, I have no choice.”

 

Uncle cracked his fingers like someone stretching before starting work. Beside him, Brother Gyewon quietly fidgeted with the sword at his waist.

 

“I should help our son gain some real combat experience~”

 

“Please, I beg you not to throw me like before. Father.”

 

…What happened between these two in the past? I briefly wondered about the meaningful conversation between father and son.

 

Uncle quickly gestured with his hand.

 

“You take the east. We’ll take the west.”

 

“Sounds good.”

 

After saying this, Uncle simply picked up Brother Gyewon and tucked him under his arm. Brother seemed surprised by the unexpected position and flailed about.

 

“I’m imitating an overprotective dad too~”

 

“Father, I’m not frail and sickly like a newly hatched chick like Biyu…!”

 

Oh ho, so that’s how you think of me?

 

‘Though it’s not wrong.’

 

Uncle ignored Brother Gyewon and gave Little Uncle a look, and Little Uncle nodded.

 

“Hei Biyu, if by any chance… your side finds Ayan first.”

 

Little Uncle spoke with a solemn expression.

 

Indeed, since Ayan’s bunting was on this side, the probability of us meeting her first was overwhelmingly high.

 

“…Tell her that Dad will come soon.”

 

Little Uncle hesitated for a moment before continuing.

 

“To say sorry… no, never mind, I want to say that myself.”

 

“Mm, don’t worry Uncle Poo!”

 

I patted the arms of Dad who was holding me.

 

“This person is reliable!”

 

“…Huh?”

 

I couldn’t bring myself to say that I had started calling him ‘Dad’ again in my heart. That was like my last protective barrier.

 

Both Little Uncle and Uncle had similar expressions. As if understanding Little Uncle and Uncle’s confusion, I deliberately grinned.

 

“His ability is quite useful.”

 

Just by placing my palm on his arm and gripping it tightly, I could feel him adjusting his strength so Dad wouldn’t be hurt.

 

came to me like a reliable safety belt.

 

‘Right, this person at least… won’t let me die.’

 

That was enough for now.

 

“Good.”

 

Uncle quickly handed Brother Gyewon over to Uncle.

 

“Ah, Father?!”

 

Then Uncle strode toward me and grabbed my cheeks with both hands. My lips stuck out like a bird’s beak.

 

“Our Ppiyak, if anything happens or if that man… bothers you, scream first. Uncle will come running from anywhere.”

 

“Yeah!”

 

“…Why are you answering?”

 

I heard Dad’s voice sounding incredulous, but I casually ignored it.

 

“Good, then let’s go.”

 

* * *

 

‘It’s quiet.’

 

Dad’s method of breaking down the wall was quite effective.

 

Turns out Dad didn’t just break down the wall?

 

“I left traces with wind.”

 

Dad explained quietly as he walked.

 

“I broke trees in the grass field near the wall, or left marks on the floor. Making it look like someone escaped that way.”

 

As Dad spoke, a sturdy man appeared from around the corner. It was one of the guards that had been left scattered around on purpose.

 

But we could talk freely. Dad was blocking sound with wind.

 

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

 

“…I was thinking the former Assassination King could do such things too.”

 

“I don’t like that title.”

 

Dad’s expression wasn’t good at all.

 

He’s been like this ever since he went along with Uncle’s joke about ‘scream if you don’t like it!’

 

…Don’t tell me he’s sulking?

 

Come on, that man has some dignity, just because he recovered a bit of memory doesn’t mean he’d go that far.

 

“And your way of speaking…”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Never mind.”

 

I could guess what Dad was trying to say. I was speaking casually to him again without formality.

 

But instead of explaining, I casually ignored it.

 

Soon after, Dad stopped walking for a moment.

 

Not far away, another sentry was walking by.

 

For reference, Dad was hiding our presence and appearance with wind.

 

“Though I got that kind of title, I didn’t only do assassination.”

 

“Hm… Then what else did you do?”

 

“Espionage.”

 

I briefly imagined Dad moving around like a spy from a movie. With his looks, he’d suit anything really.

 

“It was something Biyeongdae would handle, but… it was different from ordinary espionage. It was about dealing with the Eight Families’ dogs who came rushing to dig up secrets.”

 

The Eight Families had tremendous interest in the Hei Family.

 

They especially thought there must be some secret to achieving overwhelming records as medical practitioners and healing ability users, so they tried to steal everything.

 

The undercurrents must have been even more fierce.

 

“So which direction do we go next?”

 

Dad looked at Raon, who had been quiet until now.

 

Chirp! Chirp chirp! Chiiirp! Chirp!

 

“He says if we go straight from here and turn right, we’ll find a small Well. The building is next to it.”

 

“Any special features?”

 

Chiiiiiirp!

 

For some reason, Bunting’s cry continued quite long.

 

“…He says there’s a Barrier.”

 

“A barrier?”

 

“Yeah. He says if we don’t solve that, the building might not be visible.”

 

“That’s no problem.”

 

Dad said it was simple.

 

“It’s not different from what I used to do back in the day.”

 

Hearing that, I thought that once this was over… I definitely needed to hear about the Three Brothers’ past from Uncle or Uncle.

 

A moment later.

 

We arrived in front of the building Bunting had mentioned.

 

“Here it is.”

 

No building was visible next to the Well, but Dad lived up to his confident words and used his power to find a gap in the Barrier and enter secretly.

 

‘I need to get a more accurate grasp of these people’s abilities.’

 

They’re more capable than I thought, so maybe the things I’ve planned ahead could be… a bit more aggressive?

 

“Let’s go right in.”

 

Fortunately, there was no Barrier inside the building. Apparently just making the building invisible was sufficient.

 

Dad had also said it was quite a tricky Barrier.

 

‘He said it was a Barrier made with Water Power, right? Then there’s a skilled Water Mage on this side…’

 

I naturally thought of one person. Someone who appeared as a Water Mage in the original work too.

 

The more I thought about the Water Mage from the original, the darker my expression became as well.

 

That wasn’t the only thing that hardened my expression.

 

“…It’s really run down.”

 

I had expected it, but for a building that looked fairly intact from outside, the inside was a mess.

 

Things were scattered all over as if it had been used as a Warehouse, and most of it was dirty.

 

On top of that, dust was floating in the Air.

 

It felt stuffy with a subtle foul smell. It hadn’t been cleaned for a long time.

 

There were two rooms inside the building. The first Room only had traces of someone having been there.

 

A Liquor Bottle and Drinking Cup placed on the Table…

 

Seeing the alcohol slightly contained inside, I thought it might be a room used by the guards.

 

“I can sense a presence from this direction. A very young and weak presence.”

 

And we opened the door in front of the remaining room.

 

“….”

 

Finally, we discovered a small child left alone inside the room.

 

‘The condition of the room….’

 

It was a place full of straw. There was nothing else besides that.

 

Nothing that was needed for an environment to raise a baby. I bit my lips tightly.

 

‘Even though it’s only been a few days since coming here, still….’

 

Yellow hair was visible. It was a cute pale yellow color like forsythia. The large, round eyes reminded me of a bunting.

 

Chubby cheeks that had gotten a bit dirty but were originally pure white, plump hands. A cute bun hairstyle that was slightly disheveled.

 

The master and divine beast were adorably alike like twins. A small baby blinking while looking into the void with unfocused eyes.

 

This child was precisely the future Female Lead, Hei Ayan, who would become the great Family Head of the Hei Family and restore the family.

 

Piiiiik! Piik!

 

Unable to hold back, Bunting cried out long. The child flinched and trembled.

 

“Chacha?”

 

A cute and fragile voice. Even though Dad had surely blocked the sound, the child moved her head this way and that as if she had heard the sound.

 

I looked at Dad. Dad nodded. The wind moved smoothly.

 

“I’ve released the barrier.”

 

Now sound would be audible.

 

Piiiiik!

 

However, the next moment I realized something strange and froze stiffly.

 

“Chaya? Chacha, chacha…!”

 

Bunting couldn’t hold back and flew over fluttering, flapping in front of Ayan.

 

‘She can’t… find it.’

 

Ayan’s eyes couldn’t focus.

 

…As if her eyes couldn’t see.
