The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 14

“What?”

“Even though it’s been a long time since you and I have faced each other. You know what I mean, right? I have an incurable disease. Oh, what a coincidence that you do too?”

“….”

Little Uncle seemed to chuckle, then suddenly lifted me up.

“This kid is really something.”

Then he held me while smiling. He sparkled like a noble young master.

“We might be looking at a genius who could become the best in this city, no… in the country.”

“…Our youngest, you’re being quite extreme.”

Uncle seemed to furrow his brow, then laughed helplessly.

“You just slept and now you’re full of hot air.”

“What?”

Even while saying this, Uncle stared at me intently.

“Hmm, little one. According to my brother and son… you can use abilities too, and you plan to diagnose me?”

“If you’ll allow me.”

I nodded my head. When Uncle suddenly approached, Hei Birang blocked my way.

“Ah, don’t stick your face too close. You already look disgustingly fierce. What if the kid gets scared?”

“Oh my, is our youngest introducing himself?”

“What? I’ve always been the most handsome.”

“You were second.”

They’re both handsome, but… Dad is more handsome. Having seen Dad’s portrait, this was a fact I could agree with.

“Well then, little one.”

Uncle asked while firmly pushing away Little Uncle’s face.

“You seem much smarter than your age and understand the workings of this place well.”

His red eyes were sharp yet gentle.

“What do you want from us?”

He’s looking for rationality in what a three-year-old does. It seems he doesn’t really see me as a three-year-old.

I smiled brightly.

“That’s right. I do want something… but first, I’d like you to do just one thing for me.”

I pointed toward the wall.

“Please take me to the Medicinal Materials Market!”

Now, I’ve got future Warriors in my hands. Next, it’s time to become the world’s greatest Physician!

-Or so I thought.

“Hmm… that might be difficult.”

My first plan was shattered to pieces from the start.

“Me and the youngest. We can’t become your guardians.”

* * *

3 days later.

Grassland. I was struggling to pull medicinal herbs.

I say pulling medicinal herbs, but I was practically hanging off the herbs.

‘Why is this body so light!’

After exerting myself, my face turned red like a radish and sweat beaded up all over.

I plopped down on the ground with a thud.

‘Ugh, when will I ever finish all this.’

I stared blankly at the medicinal herb I had finally managed to pull.

They say even a rich family can last three years after going bankrupt. Currently, the family is slowly declining under Grandmother’s generation.

Even so, throughout this old mansion that had been maintained for over a hundred years, there were herb gardens everywhere. The abandoned Eastern Wing was the same.

Of course, it was decent for an abandoned area, but you certainly couldn’t call it good.

I looked at the single ginseng root I had barely managed to pull, then set it down on the ground and lay flat on my back.

“Aaaahhhhh!”

Even though no one was around, I threw a tantrum toward the sky.

‘Damn it, I need medicine to treat both Little Uncle and Uncle!’

This is all because I can’t go to the market!

Just over that wall is one of the top three medicinal materials markets in the Empire!

There are so many ingredients I could gather from there, but I can’t go out so I’m stuck doing this…

‘Should I just sneak out alone?’

No, that won’t work. A three-year-old body is too much of a hindrance at times like this. The outside will be full of rough warriors.

True to a place that lives off war, the people of the Western Continent are basically rough.

‘At this rate, forget becoming the world’s greatest physician, even standing out in this family seems far off.’

I need good medicinal materials right now for many reasons. Treating Uncle and Little Uncle, and also…

“What’s this, what’s going on?”

In my upside-down view, Little Uncle came striding into sight.

He had a bewildered expression.

“…Why are you lying on the ground throwing a damn fit? Did you take medicine?”

“…You saw?”

I froze mid-struggle on the dirt ground.

When did he get here?

“Why are you acting crazy on the ground? You startled me.”

Such a habit of his.

“Don’t know. It’s because of Little Uncle.”

“I don’t know either. You were suddenly throwing a fit. Are you a bee? Going crazy just because someone touched you?”

I retorted without moving an inch.

“Then is Little Uncle a flower? Can’t live without me carrying you around?”

“Oh my. Where did such a young thing learn to talk like that, huh?”

“Ow ow ow uncle!”

This forest princess! Just because you’re the Female Lead’s dad? He keeps pinching my cheeks.

I didn’t back down and pinched Hei Birang’s cheek.

“Did you pinch me? Did you?”

“Yes! I pinched you!”

…How is this supposed to be a conversation with an adult? Ah, let go already!

Just then I saw Hei Gyewon coming from afar, so I quickly screamed.

“Oh no! Biyu is dying!!”

“What are you saying, you drama queen?”

“What are you doing, youngest Uncle!”

“Huh?”

I quickly pretended to be hurt. Even though it didn’t really hurt that much.

“Sob sob, now Biyu has no cheeks…”

Cousin Brother frowned his handsome face and said.

“Really, how many times do I have to tell you? Biyu is only three years old! Since you slept all day yesterday, I guess it still wasn’t enough.”

“Hey, wait a minute…? I feel a bit wronged here.”

“Enough, sit down!”

“I don’t want to?!”

“What’s there to feel wronged about. I didn’t know youngest Uncle would be so ignorant of common sense. Shall we have a talk while we’re at it? About an hour should be enough.”

“Why are you talking so fast…? And you’re the teacher? Hey, my precious time to you, ow that stings! Whoa, did you just use Lightning? You little chick?”

“Shall I bring Father?”

Hei Birang was overwhelmed by the momentum and hesitantly sat down. It’s funny that he’s actually listening to this.

It’s probably because Hei Biwon, the eldest brother, is behind Hei Gyewon.

“This won’t do, let’s move locations. Let’s go where Father is.

I’d only seen him for just two days, but one thing I could tell.

Hei Birang finds his eldest brother uncomfortable and avoids him.

“…You’re playing dirty?”

Even while grumbling, he couldn’t bring himself to hit his young nephew, and I burst out laughing at the sight of Uncle trudging after him.

In my mind, I recalled three days ago when I asked Uncle to go to the Market with me.

‘Me and the youngest. We can’t become guardians.’

It was like a bolt from the blue. Uncle’s explanation was as follows.

‘Me and the youngest have a history of suddenly turning around and harming people.’

…Huh, Hei Birang too?

At that time I glanced at Little Uncle, and he was looking elsewhere with a displeased expression.

‘Going out is also forbidden.’

I don’t remember anything from the original content. Is it because this is before the original story started?

‘Our bodies are marked with Tracking Scent, and the moment we go outside, we’ll be caught and punished.’

‘Then what do we do…? Is there no way?’

This can’t be happening. I was looking forward to the Market so much.

That’s such an important part of my plan!

‘I’m still too young to go out alone!’

‘There is a way.’

Uncle glanced at Little Uncle and exchanged looks.

‘Piyak. In this Eastern Wing, there’s only one patient who doesn’t have the going-out ban.’

I had a feeling.

‘That’s your Dad, Hei Bihu.’

At that moment, I couldn’t say anything.

Actually, I had thought of other methods even if I couldn’t go to the Market right away.

However, in my previous life, I had never gone out at age three.

‘In the 1st round, I lived like a slave, in the 2nd round, I only studied. In the 3rd round, I ran away early.’

Children of the Hei Family have difficulty going out alone before turning 15, and must be accompanied by a guardian to go outside.

This was because the Hei Family produced many outstanding Pharmacists and Physician ability users, so there were forces that would kidnap the children.

Even if that wasn’t the case, they considered them valuable to sell due to their distinctive appearance.

‘Is there no other way…?’

Seeing how my speech naturally became shorter, Uncle widened his eyes for a moment, then laughed heartily.

‘Nope?’

‘…’

He had a mischievous expression.

‘Ah, there is this. If your Dad transfers guardian authority to us, then we could try talking to the Family Estate about it… maybe?’

‘Big brother definitely won’t work though? His past is too colorful. But I could do it, little one.’

Anyway, in the end it means I have to meet Dad and negotiate, right?
