The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

 

Chapter 147

 

It was absurd.

 

Why would a celestial maiden appear here?

 

What is a celestial maiden?

 

A woman who lives in the Heavenly Realm, appearing in Eastern-style mythology.

 

‘Usually they have incredibly beautiful faces and gentle hearts… anyway, they’re the kind of beings where it wouldn’t be strange to attribute all good qualities to them, right?’

 

Though they only exist in Eastern Continent mythology.

 

Due to the large-scale migration of Eastern Continent people, it had become a widely known name here as well.

 

Though it’s not commonly used.

 

But still…

 

‘A bleeding celestial maiden?’

 

Isn’t that on the level of desecrating a sacred being? The moment I imagined it, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

 

‘Could it be that’s actually about me?’

 

I recalled the third round, when I was sick of hearing things like witch or cursed mad physician, then shook my head.

 

From the description alone, fortunately it didn’t seem to be about me.

 

“Why on earth would a celestial maiden suddenly appear in this territory? That’s strange.”

 

No matter how much this is a neighborhood where Eastern People live, this is still clearly the Western Continent.

 

“But it seems to have already spread.”

 

“Tell me the details.”

 

According to Raon’s words, it was like this.

 

“There’s a big mountain to the north of the Family Estate, right?”

 

I know. The mountain that’s been there since the Hei Family first established themselves here. They say it has sacred energy or whatever. But that’s all superstition.

 

‘It’s an incredible treasure trove of medicinal herbs. Not only that. It’s also one of the places where the family cultivates medicinal herbs.’

 

However, only those permitted by the Family Head can enter this mountain.

 

The Current Family Head only allowed mountain keepers, herb gatherers, and herb garden managers to come and go.

 

“That Northern Mountain is connected to the mountain range on the western side of the territory, right? It seems someone got lost and took the wrong path, ending up at the Northern Mountain.”

 

“Huh…? That can’t be.”

 

That place is protected by such incredible formations.

 

‘The reason I know this is… because I snuck in and stole herbs in the third round.’

 

I needed some capital when leaving the family, didn’t I!

 

And even after the family completely collapsed, I went in and gathered various things before the Imperial Palace stepped in. Let’s skip over that for now.

 

Well. Let’s say coincidence upon coincidence led to breaking through the formation with an extremely slim probability.

 

“So then?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Though it was a rumor with very low credibility, Raon seemed to be enjoying herself, so I urged her to continue. Pretty Raon is innocent, isn’t she?

 

“That day, it happened to rain heavily. Not knowing where that place was… after wandering around for a long time, they discovered a dilapidated shrine.”

 

“A shrine?”

That’s something that only exists on the Eastern Continent. Why is that suddenly coming up?

‘Isn’t this the place where they worship the dragon, the guardian deity of the Eastern Continent?’

The Western Continent has a similar concept.

Temple. This is what they call the buildings that enshrine the guardian deities of the Western Continent.

“They went in to avoid the rain… but the day was dark, the rain showed no signs of stopping, and surprisingly, inside… there was blood splattered everywhere.”

“I went in to escape the rain… but it was getting dark, the rain showed no signs of stopping, and surprisingly, inside there was… blood splattered everywhere.”

“…”

“It was too eerie, but they decided to rest there for a moment and closed their eyes briefly… then when they opened their eyes.”

“It was really creepy, but I decided I had to rest here for a bit and closed my eyes for a moment… when I opened them.”

“…When they opened their eyes?”

“…you’re opening your eyes?”
Thanks to Raon telling the story so enthusiastically, I also became absorbed in the tale and held my breath slightly. Just as Raon was about to speak.

“A blood-covered woman appeared.”

There was a voice that suddenly interrupted. It was even deliberately made to sound ominous.

 

“Hic!”

On top of that, there were footsteps approaching from behind Raon. Hearing those sounds, Raon’s face turned pale.

 

“Tsk, careful. Careful. Won’t you be careful?”
It was a hand full of familiarity, but Raon’s reaction wasn’t the same.

Raon swatted that hand away and quickly ran to hide behind me. Then, pressing their forehead against my shoulder, they trembled.

It was a hand full of warmth and familiarity, but Raon’s reaction was anything but welcoming.

This isn’t normal.

 

 

“Raon?”
‘Trauma?’

A face that had turned pale and a neck covered in cold sweat.

 

‘Trauma?’

I understand. Past wounds are strange like that – you think they’ve healed, but then they suddenly reveal themselves.

“It was just us, but suddenly I heard footsteps behind me. I guess I was really startled.”

“Biyu…”

‘Come to think of it, I was kidnapped as a child and barely managed to escape.’

“It’s okay.”

I understand. Past wounds are really strange – you think you’ve gotten over them, but then they suddenly reveal themselves again.
Raon’s soft tail wrapped around my waist.

“Biyu, don’t indulge their whining. They’ll get into the habit.”

I looked up. There stood Brother Gyewon, who was about to come of age soon.

“It’s okay.”

However, his neatly arranged straight hair and delicate facial features were said to resemble Aunt Elder, whom I don’t know well.

“Biyu, don’t indulge her whining. She’ll get into bad habits.”
That elder sister was sixteen, wasn’t she?

I looked up. There stood my older brother Gyewon, who was about to come of age.

He had grown tall like a tree, and his bold features strongly resembled his uncle.

But his neatly arranged straight hair and delicate features were said to resemble his great-aunt, whom I didn’t know well.

‘The maid who brought water yesterday was talking about brother Gyewon.’

I think that older girl was sixteen.

Among the young servants, rumors about the handsome young master were quite widespread. Besides, even though Brother was blunt, he was often kind to girls.

 

Several of them already seemed to have fallen head over heels for him.

 

‘Guilty human.’

 

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

 

“You’re getting spoiled.”

 

“But look how scared you are right now. That’s what you get for suppressing your presence when you come.”

 

“That’s because…”

 

Brother slightly averted his gaze.

 

“You seemed to be concentrating…”

 

“Brother is such a great warrior now that we can’t sense him. Were you trying to show off?”

 

Actually, I wasn’t really upset. There was no reason to be.

 

When I deliberately pouted and glared at Brother, Brother Gyewon became visibly flustered. He even broke out in a cold sweat.

 

“Th-that’s not… In the first place, this is a room where Youngest Uncle and Uncle have set up barriers…! No one except authorized people can enter.”

 

That’s right. This room is a place where even servants can’t enter freely. There’s a reason why Raon comfortably let out his ears and tail.

 

“Right, so whose fault is it for deliberately sneaking into such a place and startling us?”

 

“…Brother’s.”

 

He admits it quickly.

 

“You should do that next time, shouldn’t you?”

 

“You shouldn’t.”

 

However, his experience of taking care of me didn’t go anywhere, so Brother soon composed his flustered expression, rubbed his face, and sighed.

 

“But still. Getting startled by just this much and weakly showing ears and tail – I can’t entrust you to such a guy, Biyu.”

 

Brother Gyewon’s eyes were endlessly serious.

 

“…Who says what? Raon isn’t a warrior to protect me, he’s a friend. And he’s the most important colleague in my physician life.”

 

“…”

 

“The kid got scared.”

 

Brother sighed softly.

 

“Biyu. You don’t know your ‘colleague’ at all.”

 

Huh? I tilted my head.

 

“Do you think he’d get ‘scared’ by something like this? No, even if he did, do you think it would last long?”

 

What are you talking about? Didn’t you see the kid trembling just now? I glanced sideways at Raon.

 

‘Huh, I think he had a calm expression just now…’

 

Looking again, he was looking back and forth between me and Brother with a worried expression.

 

Brother clicked his tongue as if dumbfounded.

 

“That, that fox-like bastard.”

 

“He is a fox, isn’t he? And don’t talk like that.”

 

His dazzlingly white face and Raon’s large, clear eyes looked nothing but innocent.

 

“…Not just a fox, but like a fire fox.”

 

Gyewon seemed to mutter something, but it was too quiet to hear. Brother clicked his tongue and raised both hands. It was an attitude of giving up.

 

“Fine.”

 

Only then did I smile brightly.

 

“And all that talk about entrusting me to someone – that’s because of me, right? Thanks for worrying about me. I’ll wait for the day you become an official warrior.”

 

Currently, Brother is aiming for promotion to official warrior. If he passes, he’ll gain qualification as a legitimate warrior in this Hei Family.

 

This is the fifth time someone of that age has directly challenged the advanced level.

 

Three of the previous four people are humans I know well. Dad, Uncle, and Uncle.

 

One person is…

 

‘Hei Soha.’

 

Born right after First Aunt, he’s another uncle to me.

 

‘I don’t know if he died or went missing.’

 

Presumptively deceased.

 

“Good grief.”

 

Brother laughed as if he couldn’t handle me. A lovely blush bloomed like a flower on his tanned cheeks.

 

If the servants who are Brother’s fans had seen this, there would have been chaos, right?

 

“Really a guilty person…”

 

Having Uncle’s face with such a serious personality is really unfair.

 

“Hm?”

 

Raon seemed to have heard my muttering. When his fox ears are out, his hearing is better, right?

 

I stood on my tiptoes while watching Brother Gyewon turn around and open the door.

 

Then I smiled mischievously.

 

“It’s not good to smile prettily at just anyone.”

 

“…”

 

Then Raon asked.

 

“Then would Biyu prefer to smile at only one person?”

 

“Hm? I haven’t thought about it. Well… if I had to say, then yes.”

 

For just a moment, someone’s face came to mind. Bright red hair like the sun floating in the sky. A voice that was pleasant to hear, unlike his prickly and arrogant personality.

 

‘What are you looking at? Why, did you start liking it?’

 

The image of my ‘friend’ smiling with his back to the sun.

 

I think I had thought to myself that there was a freshness to be felt in the young man who had just become an adult.

 

‘…Should I give you medicine for axe disease?’

 

‘You won’t even let me joke. If I agree even once, will it get worse…?’

 

I slowly raised my gaze.

 

Right in front of me, I could see a handsome face. Should I call it a pretty face?

 

Those mysterious and enigmatic eyes made me forget the arrogant and mischievous eyes I had just been thinking of.

 

Oh, when did Raon and I get this close?

 

Right, Raon had come closer to whisper to me.

 

“I see. Then I’ll do it for only one person too!”

 

Raon took my hand.

 

His eyes curved prettily. When I closed my eyes briefly and opened them, Raon was wearing a dazzling smile.

 

“I was already doing that.”
