The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 137

 

In fact, there had already been quite a few deaths, but they had deliberately hidden them together with the Lord.

 

That’s why the Territory Residents only found out now, right?

 

I had heard the whole story from the Lord, but I kept my mouth shut to see how they would react.

 

“Unless someone orchestrated this, wouldn’t it be strange?”

 

Robson pretended to bow his head, but there was no trace of servility on his briefly visible face.

 

Perhaps because Robson, who held a position in the Territory, acted confidently. Or maybe because he was someone who usually had popular support, the Patients began murmuring.

 

“Well, you did appear suddenly… didn’t you?”

 

“That’s true, but…”

 

The Patients weren’t greatly shaken, but all suspicion starts by making small holes in solid trust.

 

This reaction would be enough for them.

 

“So you’re suspicious of us? Then we’ll leave right away. We don’t mind.”

 

“No, that can’t be!”

 

Robson jumped up.

 

“Suspicion? That’s preposterous. You’ve already shown us miracles, so how could we be suspicious? However, since you clearly possess great abilities…”

 

Robson took a step closer. A smile appeared on the Elder’s lips. The Elder clasped his hands together and rubbed them.

 

“How about staying at the Lord’s Castle from now on and clearing up our doubts?”

 

“…”

 

When Dad didn’t answer, Robson pretended to be exaggeratedly worried.

 

“Oh, if the Castle would be uncomfortable, how about my humble Mansion?”

 

The Old Retainer spread his hands wide.

 

“If you continue to stay in This City and provide Treatment, the remaining Patients will feel at ease and praise you, Physician! Isn’t that right, everyone?!”

 

He deliberately raised his voice.

 

“That’s right, Lord Robson is correct.”

 

“Exactly. You can stay Here and clear up the suspicions, can’t you?”

 

The Retainers in the back shouted excitedly as if they had made a promise.

 

The Patients around them murmured. Some even cheered along, albeit quietly.

 

‘There are Agitators among the Patients.’

 

It was incitement.

 

‘I knew this would happen.’

 

…I hate these kinds of people the most.

 

In the past and now.

 

Those who use the weak and Patients only to satisfy their own greed.

 

I know what will happen next.

 

They said they’d host us at the Lord’s Castle or his Mansion? No, I can say with certainty that it won’t be hosting but ‘detention’ or ‘confinement.’

 

‘Treat my son. I’ll give you anything you want, but I won’t allow you to leave.’

 

Like the Family Head of one of the Eight Families in my third life, who forcibly brought me to treat her son.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

I’d experienced countless similar cases. Even the Hei Family treated me this way in my first and second lives.

 

In this world where physicians are extremely important, to some people we’re also the most expensive tools.

 

Irresistibly tempting.

 

“Can we return?”

 

Dad, who had been quietly listening, asked back.

 

“…Excuse me?”

 

“We are those dispatched on an important mission from the Hei Family. Are you saying you’ll confine us and handle the consequences that follow?”

 

“C-confine? Haha… what are you talking about?”

 

“So you’re not going to imprison us?”

 

Now’s the time.

 

I smiled innocently with a curious expression. My innocent voice rang out loudly enough for the patients to hear as well.

 

That must be Dad’s doing.

 

“Come on, surely you wouldn’t suspect and confine us when we came to provide treatment. Right?”

 

“Yes? Yes…”

 

“And it’s strange, isn’t it? Why would we spread disease and then treat it? To make my name or the family’s name known? Even without doing that, I’m an Advanced Physician of a family, and our Hei Family is such an amazing Physician Family, right?”

 

Shallow logic and schemes lose their power quickly when you dig into them just a little like this.

 

Even the patients who had briefly suspected us quickly tilted their heads in confusion. Now that they heard it… it made sense, didn’t it?

 

“Ahaha, y-yes, that’s right. I apologize if my words caused unnecessary misunderstanding…”

 

“Yeah, you’re sorry?”

 

That was the moment.

 

“I understood that as meaning you’ll take responsibility for your mistake.”

 

“What?”

 

Swoooosh!

 

A water wall shot up, separating the retainers and us from the people outside.

 

The wall made of water effectively hid us from the people.

 

“What, what is this!”

 

“Is it an attack?!”

 

Those guarding the retainers were startled and drew their swords.

 

However, they couldn’t move.

 

Whiiiiing!

 

“Th-the wind…”

 

If they moved even one step, sharp wind would sweep around them as if to cut them down.

 

“I c-can’t move my body…!”

 

Also, their bodies were tightly bound by the wind.

 

This was what I had requested from Dad just moments ago. Moreover, Dad would have given instructions to Uncle through the wind as well.

 

Meanwhile.

 

Thwack!

 

The retainer representative who had been subtly trying to incite the people collapsed to the floor.

 

“Why are you listening to all that? Idiot.”

 

The culprit who mercilessly kicked the retainer was Uncle. Uncle stared at me with a dissatisfied expression.

 

“This kind of thing needs to be nipped in the bud.”

 

“Hahaha. With violence?”

 

A languid voice joined in from the side.

 

“Of course, of course, gotta give them a good knock on the head first~”

 

Uncle swung his arms around in circles.

 

The territory residents outside the water wall would see the illusion Uncle created.

 

Something like us laughing and clearing up misunderstandings before entering the barracks, that kind of heartwarming scene?

 

‘Why don’t people ever change.’

 

Did I unconsciously make a disgusted expression?

 

“Where should I start hitting him?”

 

“Hmm?”

 

Dad, while holding me, raised his hand and swung it down. Then the fallen retainer representative was hung upside down and shaken vigorously.

 

I blinked my eyes and smiled brightly.

 

“Don’t hit him, just shake him excitedly!”

 

He wouldn’t have done this without reason.

 

When you want to see someone’s true nature, think of two things. How do they act when cornered?

 

And how do they treat the weak?

 

If that person had respected me and shown proper courtesy in front of me while I was pretending to be a child, this wouldn’t have happened.

 

‘Well, if someone has a rotten heart, it’ll show itself somehow anyway.’

 

“Ugh, urk, what are you doing, gah!”

 

While shaking the elder, the belongings he had been carrying fell out.

 

‘I was half-doubtful but…’

 

And the moment a rod familiar to us dropped with a thud. The shaking stopped.

 

It’s Sinion’s Rod.

 

I smirked inwardly.

 

‘Wow, lucky he’s such a stupid and impatient fool!’

 

Now that the key evidence has been gathered.

 

Should I have some fun writing a petition now?

 

‘Before that… let’s also drag out those Sinion bastards hiding like rats.’

 

My smile became even brighter.

 

Going home wasn’t far off now.

 

‘Grandmother, I’m bringing back a big catch!’
