The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 15

‘What are you going to do?’

Uncle seemed to be looking at me with an expression full of curiosity.

‘He still seemed curious about why I came to find them instead of treating Dad.’

It was the present again.

“Do you understand, Uncle!”

I, who had been recalling those events, was brought back to reality by a sharp voice.

‘Sigh…’

I let out a deep sigh and turned around.

Not far away, Little Uncle was listening to Cousin Brother’s lecture with a bored expression.

“Did you understand? Children must be treated preciously.”

“Yes, yes, Princess.”

“…What kind of title is that?”

He was kneeling, but his attitude was so crude that even neighborhood thugs would step aside.

Little Uncle snorted.

“You said we have to serve and live with the little brat. How is that different from a princess? And you’re a kid too, aren’t you?”

“Don’t curse so triumphantly. Why are you acting like this when you have a daughter too?”

“Heh, I’m planning to become the world’s most gentle young master in front of my daughter, why?”

…Is that even possible?

I tilted my head while listening to their conversation.

Little Uncle certainly looked like a noble young master, but so what?

He ruins it all the moment he opens his mouth.

Hei Gyewon shook his head back and forth.

“…Even a 5-year-old going to school would understand words better than Uncle.”

“What, did you just ignore me? I’m well-educated too, you know? I’ve been to educational institutions too, you know?”

Cousin Brother sighed and walked toward me.

“Cousin Brother, Uncle is glaring.”

“It’s okay. He’s good-natured at heart, so he won’t hit me. And if I’ve explained this much, he should understand why he shouldn’t pinch you. Unless his brain is as bad as an earthworm’s.”

“I can hear everything? You just insulted me, didn’t you?”

I rolled my eyes around.

‘They get along well.’

Gyewon took my hand and brushed off the dirt. Not only that, but he also dusted off my clothes.

“But what were you doing here?”

“Picking medicinal herbs!”

“Leave this kind of thing to youngest Uncle. He has plenty of strength. Or I’m here too.”

“Huh?”

Hei Birang clicked his tongue as if dumbfounded. Cousin Brother firmly grasped my hand and stared at me.

“It’s not just Father and youngest Uncle who received your grace. You saved me too.”

His eyes were clear. Uncle had black hair and red eyes, but Hei Gyewon had black pupils.

He probably resembled Aunt (Elder). I nodded my head.

‘That’s right, I saved you. I’ll help you not become a villain too.’

So become a swallow that repays kindness. You can grow up strong and even be my bodyguard, right?

I stood on my tiptoes.

‘Hmm, I still can’t reach even like this?’

Gyewon lowered his head and offered it to me. I patted Cousin Brother with my tiny hands.

And smiled with a proud expression.

“Very good attitude! Do it like that!”

“…What?”

“Work hard to get strong and repay the favor!”

Cousin Brother, who had been looking dazed, chuckled softly.

“Alright.”

His smiling face looked childlike, making me feel a bit proud.

That’s when it happened.

Peep-!

‘Peep?’

I heard a strange sound.

I turned my head but couldn’t figure out the source of the sound. Then suddenly, I looked down at my clothes…

“Waah, you scared me!”

Someone caught me as I was about to fall backward in surprise. It was Little Uncle.

I turned my head again to look at my clothes, and only then could I see clearly what was attached to them.

‘A fur… ball?’

It looked like a fur ball made of dense down feathers. It appeared very cozy, fluffy, and cute.

‘A chick with even its eyes buried in fur…?’

Black eyes were blinking as they looked at me. The color was familiar – it was Cousin Brother’s eye color.

Hei Birang, who was holding me, said a word.

“It’s a Thunder Beast.”

“Thunder Beast?”

I tilted my head.

“Something in the brain…?”

“…What disgusting thing are you thinking of? No, it’s not that. I mean an animal made of lightning. A divine beast.”

Well, I’m a physician, so naturally I’d think of that first.

‘But anyway, this fur ball is a Thunder Beast?’

I roughly got the idea.

Among Eastern Region people who use Natural Element Ability, especially those with particularly powerful strength, sometimes their power spontaneously gains consciousness and takes the form of an animal.

The closer it was to an animal form, the more powerful it was said to be.

‘The Female Lead also had a very cute bunting by her side, probably?’

According to my friend, it was a cute mascot that would pop out whenever she cooked.

“Big brother also raises one black thing, so you’re raising one of these too?”

Squeak!

Before I knew it, a ball of fur was dangling from Little Uncle’s hand.

Whether it was displeased, it was flailing its legs, but with short and chubby legs, it seemed useless.

“Does Baekppu have something like this too? But why didn’t I see it when he went on a rampage last time?”

“He probably sealed it on purpose? That crazy guy is already crazy enough, what would happen if he let out a crazy beast too.”

Ah, so that’s why I didn’t see it in the first round either.

Anyway, since I’d occasionally seen this among Western Continent people with Fire Ability or Earth Ability, it wasn’t surprising.

I didn’t know Hei Gyewon had this kind of ability though, that was surprising. I don’t think I heard about it in the original work?

Squeak, squeak!

The Thunder Beast was crying sadly, and it seemed like it was calling for its master.

But Cousin Brother didn’t even look at it, instead slightly turning his head away to avoid it.

When Little Uncle extended the hand holding the Thunder Beast, he even took a step back.

“…I didn’t want it to come out.”

Little Uncle’s expression hardened stiffly. It was an incredulous face.

“Hey, are you seriously… denying the Thunder Beast’s existence right now? Good grief. Something that others want but can’t have…?”

“…”

“Are you ignorant because you’re young? These things grow by receiving their master’s recognition and trust.”

Little Uncle glanced sideways at the Thunder Beast in his hand.

“Look at this pitiful state, it looks like it hasn’t even had porridge. It’s so weak it seems like it might disappear, and if you keep denying it like this…”

As Little Uncle said, the Thunder Beast was squeaking but looked somehow fragile.

Squeak…

Cute but like an abandoned baby animal, as if one poke would make it roll around and collapse.

“…I know. Father explained it to me, so I know. I know even without explanation.”

Hei Gyewon’s face as he spoke sharply was full of dissatisfaction. Unlike when he was lecturing Little Uncle earlier, he looked like a child.

“Little Uncle, what’s all this about?”

“Ah…”

Little Uncle explained to me, who knew roughly but not the details.

“Among Treatment or Natural Element Ability users, the type where power manifests as divine beasts like this is very, very rare, you know? But that guy is doing something that kicks away his own fortune.”

“…Mm.”

“This thing won’t live long.”

Uncle gently shook the hand holding the Thunder Beast. The Thunder Beast had lost strength and was dangling limply.

“That thing could become much stronger, but he kicked it away.”

“…I didn’t kick it away!”

Hei Gyewon grumbled and sharply lifted his head.

“I just… I.”

“It’s obvious. You were scared that big brother’s illness might be hereditary, right?”

Hei Gyewon stiffened as if hit right on target.

‘As expected, she’s still young. I can see right through her.’

It would be revealed later, but the disease Uncle had carried a probability of being inherited by his children.

“When you possessed divine power, you must have been scared that if you went mad, you’d harm even more people. Scared you’d become like your dad. Isn’t that right?”

“…Stop it, what would the youngest uncle know!”

Hei Birang replied lightly as if it was ridiculous.

“Why wouldn’t I know. I’m also scared my daughter might resemble my disease.”

Words casually thrown out. But it must have been Uncle’s true feelings despite his frivolous behavior.

Both of them shut their mouths tight. The atmosphere became heavy.

I felt a bit strange.

How absurd…

“Um… why are you getting all gloomy?”

I slightly raised my hand.

“Biyu’s going to treat everyone anyway, right?”

I came here to treat you all, didn’t I? Even though I look like this, I’m the continent’s greatest genius physician, you know?

In this life, you won’t have to live as patients.
