The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Additional Side Story Episode 2

“What’s wrong?”

I heard that treasures that grant wishes disappear once they fulfill their original purpose.

Since I felt that my wish had been granted, the treasure should have disappeared too.

To be precise, I felt what I wished for had come true around the time I made my wish to the treasure and returned to my room.

Though I didn’t actually see the treasure disappear.

Raon carried me inside and stopped in front of a familiar safe.

“It’s a safe.”

“Yes, it’s a safe.”

Only then did he put me down and place his hand on the safe where the treasure had originally been.

“You won’t tell me what’s inside this, will you?”

“Right, I wanted you to see it yourself.”

Since it was a safe that only the Emperor could open, it took quite some time to open.

As I watched Raon opening the safe, something suddenly came to mind.

“Come to think of it, the Crown Prince… Ah, I’m talking about the Crown Prince from my previous life.”

Feeling Raon’s eyes turn cold, I hastily corrected myself.

“That bastard was obsessed with the immortality elixir. He captured me and made me research it.”

He was terribly persistent and annoying.

“But thinking about it, the Imperial Palace has a treasure that grants wishes.”

Of course, this was something I had thought about in my third life too.

Why did that Crown Prince bastard ask me to make an immortality elixir when he could have used this treasure in the Imperial Palace?

If he wanted to neither die nor age, he could have just made a wish, right?

“Ah, I can answer that for you.”

Raon gave a cold smile.

Though he quickly changed it to a gentle smile when he looked at me.

Actually, I hadn’t told Raon, but I had realized something since coming here.

Raon as the Emperor probably wasn’t the same as he was in front of me.

It was something I naturally came to know since I had eyes and ears.

I didn’t particularly show this to Raon.

“About the treasure that grants wishes. I only learned this recently too, but being imperial family doesn’t automatically mean you can use it.”

“…Really?”

“Yeah. First, you do need to become Emperor to open this safe.”

Raon tapped the safe he was opening.

“According to the records, the treasure also chooses people.”

What. I opened my eyes wide.

“That’s the first I’ve heard of it?”

“Right.”

Raon shrugged his shoulders.

“Whoever made the treasure probably didn’t want it to fall into evil hands.”

“Yeah.”

“Whether the treasure functions on its own or not, evil people can’t even touch it. So… that ‘Crown Prince’ probably couldn’t hold the treasure, right?”

Raon spoke of his brother the ‘Crown Prince’ like a stranger.

‘That makes sense.’

That bastard was evil in every life. As this old, lingering question was resolved, I felt somewhat refreshed.

“Ah, there we go.”

Soon the safe door opened.

And I had no choice but to be surprised once again.

‘What…?’

Inside the opened safe was a familiar treasure.

It was the wish-granting treasure.

A round orb. However, it wasn’t emitting the brilliant light I remembered.

If I had to describe it, the light was about half as bright as when I made my wish.

I moved my lips and finally managed to open them.

“…Is this perhaps fake? A replica?”

These were words that came out even though I knew that couldn’t be the case.

“No, it’s real.”

“Then… why hasn’t it disappeared?”

I felt around my body. I definitely had the sensation that my wish had been granted. Was that my mistake?

Fear washed over me.

Before I knew it, my whole body was trembling finely. Memories of past lives and death seemed to come flooding back.

Then I would die in this life too and again…

“Biyu!”

When I came to my senses, Raon was holding my shoulders.

“It’s okay. It’s not what you’re thinking. Your wish was definitely granted. I know this as someone of imperial blood who has guarded this treasure. I can tell.”

At those words, the strength left my body.

Raon wouldn’t lie and had no reason to.

Then what?

“But why is the treasure still here? It should have disappeared, shouldn’t it?”

“That’s…”

Raon briefly explained. He had come to the Imperial Treasury for other business and discovered the treasure that hadn’t disappeared.

“From here on, this is my thinking.”

Raon took my hand. It was a cold hand due to being suddenly terrified.

Raon gently warmed it with his body temperature as he spoke.

“As you said, Biyu, normally, if the treasure had functioned properly, the orb should have disappeared the moment the wish was granted.”

“Yeah… But it didn’t disappear.”

“Right. Maybe the treasure still has power left? That’s my first hypothesis.”

Raon held up two fingers with his other hand that wasn’t holding mine.

“Mm, no.”

Raon pulled me into a tight embrace, then lifted me into his arms.

There was a small drawer next to the safe. A soft decorative cloth was laid on top of it, and he sat me there.

Due to the drawer’s height, my line of sight naturally became higher than Raon’s.

Raon seemed satisfied as he held both my hands and buried his face against my legs.

“Good, let’s talk like this.”

“…Suddenly?”

As I looked puzzled, Raon placed my hand on top of his head.

I felt the fox ears that had popped out. Raon made a pleased purring sound.

“The person who will be my wife shouldn’t be cold for even a moment, and shouldn’t stand for long periods either.”

When Raon smiled warmly, I finally calmed my surprised heart and smiled broadly with relief.

“…Yeah.”

Raon held up two fingers again.

“Following the first hypothesis from earlier, here’s the second hypothesis. Let’s consider that the regression you experienced isn’t a permanent ability.”

“That I won’t regress forever?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’m suggesting we assume it’s a limited power.”

By this time, I had also calmed down and regained my reasoning, so I could think it through carefully.

“So, Raon, you think my number of regressions was predetermined?”

“That’s right.”

But the treasure removed the power or ability to regress.

“Alright, let’s assume I can regress five times total, and I’ve already done it three times.”

Raon frowned slightly at the number three, but when I looked again, the wrinkle had completely disappeared.

“Did the treasure only remove the power for the remaining two regressions?”

I had specifically asked the treasure to make it so I could never regress again.

But if my number of regressions was truly predetermined and only a few remained, and the treasure only removed those.

‘Does this mean my wish was granted, but not perfectly?’

The important thing was whether my regressions really had a set limit and how many were left.

The evidence was right before my eyes.

The treasure that hadn’t disappeared.

“Your assumption doesn’t seem wrong. After erasing only enough power for about two regressions…”

“If there’s still power left because the wish wasn’t completely fulfilled.”

Raon continued my thought. We were probably thinking the same thing at this moment.

“Can we use this one more time?”

“Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.”

Hearing this, something immediately came to mind.

“Raon, what were we doing just now?”

“We were on a date.”

I hesitated and rolled my eyes. Then I gently squeezed Raon’s ears and nodded slightly.

“Ahem, ahem. That’s also true.”

“We were looking for a way to save Mother-in-law, Arin, and gathering ingredients.”

“Exactly!”

A secret between just Raon and me. My eyes sparkled.

“Couldn’t we use this to save Mother?”
