The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Additional Side Story Episode 4

* * *

Does my Biyu know?

How adorable she is. And that she dislikes it, so she unconsciously pretends to be dignified and calm.

Raon quietly swallowed his laughter as he watched his companion, red up to her neck.

I hope she never finds out for a long, long time.

No, actually, it would be best if only I knew.

Today too, he pressed down the beast-like instincts that unconsciously surfaced.

He knows his companion is a late bloomer. That’s why he can endure it because he loves her.

Though he hadn’t told Biyu, Raon had deliberately delayed the day he would gain his last tail, his ninth tail.

Because he knew that once he gained it, there would come a day when he couldn’t restrain himself.

I’ll wait a little longer, Biyu.

– The wedding?

“Yeah.”

That night, for some reason, Mother came to my room saying she wanted to sleep with me tonight.

Her face was flushed, as if she’d had another enjoyable date with Dad today.

“I discussed it with Raon beforehand, and we’re thinking of combining Western Continent and Eastern Continent styles for our wedding.”

– Hmm, I can’t quite imagine it. Will you divide it into parts 1 and 2?

“Yeah, we’re considering that too. There are many ways to do it.”

I was looking at the floor while hugging my pillow, then glanced up slightly.

“For the entrance, I’ll wear a dress. Raon said he’d like that…”

– Oh my, why are you being so considerate of me?

Mother sat down beside me with a gentle smile.

– You should do what you want, what the bride wants. Or… did Raon force you when you didn’t want it?

“No!! That’s absolutely not it…!”

– Then that’s settled.

I hugged my pillow tightly and grinned. Then the smile disappeared from my face.

‘I want to proceed with only the finest things. The finest of all would be Biyu, who will become my wife.’

I recalled Raon when he said those words today.

Lately, Raon has been showing faces and smiles he didn’t show before. They’re mature and languid…

Adult.

‘Right, both Raon and I are adults now.’

I know it. I feel it strangely. But more than anything, that strangeness is welcome and sometimes enjoyable…

When he kisses me with that kind of expression, I don’t know what to do.

I mean, I literally don’t know ‘how’ to do it.

Having no romantic experience has never felt as regrettable as it does right now. And I’m a life senior who’s lived three times longer(?)

‘Shouldn’t I be the one teaching Raon?’

– Hmm, you look conflicted, my baby. Because of the wedding?

I quickly lifted my head and shook it.

“No!”

– Right, I didn’t think so. It’s not the kind of worry that would make your face red. So what were you thinking about so seriously?

Mother smiled mischievously.

– As if you were having naughty thoughts?

“M-Mother… what kind of…”

I cleared my throat and quickly changed the subject.

“Right, while we’re talking about this. I want both Mother and Dad to sit at the wedding table.”

Mother’s eyes widened. She immediately understood what I meant.

– It might look empty to others…

“What does that matter? You said it earlier. We should do what the bride wants.”

– …

“Won’t you do what I want?”

Then Mother burst into laughter like a girl. Along with clear, pure laughter.

– How could I refuse? When I’ve never done anything for Our Daughter in her entire life.

“What do you mean nothing? You gave birth to me.”

Now I understand.

What Mother’s feelings must have been like.

“You gave birth to me with love.”

– …

So I avoided the heavy situation and spoke lightly, pouting my lips.

So Mother wouldn’t think about her painful, difficult past.

‘And everyone will be able to see Mother. Because I’ll make it so.’

I was clenching my fist and looking down when Mother quietly approached.

– Um, baby, have you noticed any maids from this place hovering around you recently?

“Maids? No, I’m not sure.”

I recalled my recent daily life. Though I’d spent several days staying at the Imperial Capital living normally.

Other than Raon visiting every time, or seeing Mother and Dad, or the other Family Members who came with us.

There was nothing particularly special about seeing other people.

‘Since I change clothes by myself anyway.’

Even bathing was prepared while I briefly went to the library or took walks.

I thought Raon must have given instructions in advance, so I didn’t pay attention.

“Why?”

– The maids… no. Never mind.

Mother shook her head as if it was nothing and smiled gently. Somehow Mother’s eyes seemed to curve with amusement but also looked cool.

And I would soon learn what words Mother had omitted.

Two days later.

A tailor came in the morning. Since they said they were taking measurements, I agreed without much thought…

‘This is exhausting!’

Just how extensively do they measure for clothes? And why are they measuring multiple times?

At least the fortunate thing was that I didn’t have to choose fabrics or designs.

Really, when it came to the outfit, Raon had requested to leave everything from 1 to 100 to him.

So I had accepted without much concern.

‘I wondered if this was okay, but Mother said it was fine too.’

I was finally freed(?) from the tailor and was reading Medical Books brought from the Hei Family Estate.

Someone came to visit.

“Would you like to take a walk together?”

It was Sylvester, the minister.

I nodded lightly.

A little later, walking through the Garden near the Castle where I was staying, I expressed my curiosity.

“But you must be busy, so what brings you here?”

Something I learned after coming to the Capital. Currently, the Capital is in the midst of a joyful Festival.

However, the Emperor and key officials don’t have time to enjoy the festival. They’re disgustingly busy.

And Sylvester was one of the busiest people, along with Raon.

“This is why I like the Hei Family Head. How wonderful that you’re efficient and get straight to the point.”

“Yeah, yeah. You’ll be a married woman soon, so watch your expressions.”

“Yes.”

Sylvester replied halfheartedly and soon rummaged around in his pouch for something.

It was parchment. He unrolled the scroll and began questioning me.

“I’m going to ask you several things now. Please answer with ‘yes’ or ‘no’, and add a score at the end. From 1 to 5 points, where 1 is very unfavorable and 5 is very favorable.”

“…What are you doing?”

“I’ll begin the questions. This is the first question.”

I blinked my eyes.

“Are you satisfied with the meals since arriving at the Imperial Capital?”

“…?”

“Yes or no. Please add a score.”

…What is he really trying to do?

However, I felt a strange sense of pressure from Sylvester, who had dark circles under his eyes.

I stopped walking. I ended up giving in to the pressure and answered.

“It was delicious… I mean, yes. The score is 5 points?”

“Do you think the meals are balanced? Here, balance is based on nutrients as felt by a physician.”

“…I’m a physician, not a diet manager or cook. Well, anyway, yes? I think it was fine.”

“Please give a score as well.”

And so, in addition to this, I answered various questions about all aspects of daily life, such as whether I was satisfied with the cleanliness, whether I liked the landscaping, whether I liked the fragrance sprayed in the room, and so on.

Only after answering all these lifestyle questions was I freed from this pressure interview.

Actually, I roughly figured out the intention during our conversation.

I scratched my cheek.

“Raon told you to ask, didn’t he?”
