The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Additional Side Story Episode 11

“Sorry, I don’t think I can get out of here.”

An unbelievable sound reached my ears.

“You should get out of here.”

I almost turned around without realizing it.

My heart was pounding strangely loud. It echoed so loudly in my ears that I felt dizzy.

‘Is this really Raon?’

Yes, it was Raon. No matter how I listened, it was Raon’s voice.

“No, no Biyu…”

How could this not be Raon’s voice? Being trapped for so long made me feel like my sense of direction, all my senses weren’t working properly.

“Save me… it hurts so much…”

Even in the midst of all this, only Raon’s voice pierced through clearly.

The words “save me” that he had never once said before made my heart feel eerily cold.

I barely managed to stop my body that was about to move. Calm down, Hei Biyu. What if even that is a test?

What if Raon is actually fine behind me, just waiting for me to leave?

‘Then I’d be ruining everything.’

This was the most important test. Saving Mother depended on it.

Only then did I regret taking this test lightly just because I had heard of it before.

I regretted casually thinking ‘Well, if it were me, I wouldn’t have looked back until the end’ when I heard a similar mythological story once.

In reality, it was an endless swamp of conflict. Leaving the cave like this even made me feel like I was abandoning Raon.

Maybe this was all the cave’s trickery, but my reason just wouldn’t flow as I wanted.

No, I have to leave.

It was just as I barely managed to pull myself together and straighten my body.

“Haa… Biyu, something strange has caught me.”

“…!”

“It seems like I won’t be able to leave right away.”

My eyes wavered at the voice that sounded clearer than ever before.

“You go alone.”

This resolute voice could only be Raon’s. How could I not recognize your voice when you’re enduring pain?

It was the moment I couldn’t hold back and was about to turn around.

“…Ah.”

Something touched my fingertips. I wiggled my hand but nothing was touching it.

Yet something had definitely ‘touched’ me. That wasn’t all. Whatever had touched me moved gently.

As if… writing letters.

I lifted my gaze.

There was no more hesitation in my eyes.

“Yeah…, thank you. Raon.”

I gathered courage and lifted my foot. Just one step until I got outside.

“Biyu… take care.”

Even as Raon’s voice persistently held me back, I squeezed my eyes shut and went outside.

Paaaaat!

I closed my eyes at the blindingly bright light, then opened them to find a familiar place.

It was the place where I had first opened my eyes.

I could see nine tails swaying gently before my eyes.

– Congratulations.

The woman smiled brightly at me.

– You passed the test.

I collapsed right there on the spot. My legs had no choice but to give out.

‘Ah, I really thought it was going to end just like that…’

Now that I had escaped from the cave, I understood. What had held my hand at the end was definitely Raon’s tail…

With that pretty tail, he had written letters on my palm. Letters that didn’t match this situation at all.

[I love you.]

Ironically, those words allowed me to go outside. I wiped my cheeks and lips roughly with the back of my hand.

Somehow I felt like I was getting feverish.

– A physician must not be swayed by personal memories. Especially if you know what you’re trying to handle.

“…That sounds like you’re saying I shouldn’t save others, Divine Priestess.”

From the Divine Priestess’s perspective, wasn’t I also someone who came to save Mother driven by personal feelings?

– Hoho, listen to the end. For a physician, a stable family and personal happiness are also important.

“Oh my, that’s like the interest of a loan shark who charges different rates depending on the person.”

The First Goddess and I burst into laughter without either of us starting first.

I understood what she meant.

‘She said she took measures to prevent it from falling into evil hands…’

All I had done was walk without looking back, but I was as exhausted as if I had run non-stop for a month.

That was the moment. Someone lifted me up from behind. I smiled broadly without even looking.

“Raon.”

“Yeah.”

When I opened my eyes, I saw the face of my fiancé smiling prettily.

“You worked hard, Biyu.”

“You too. You worked hard following me around while I was staggering.”

“No. What was really hard was watching you like that and not being able to do anything…”

“That’s not true.”

I gently tickled Raon’s cheek. Like writing letters.

“The words you gave me were more encouraging than any other support in the world.”

“…”

Raon silently pulled me into a tight embrace and rubbed his nose against my neck.

– Oh my, what a lovely sight this is.

With the First Goddess’s somewhat meddlesome voice as background music.

– Now that the test is over, take the ingredients as you rightfully deserve.

I hugged the bag while grinning from ear to ear. I had already checked the ingredients in the bag.

Though I had only seen them in materials, they were indeed the three flowers I had been looking for!

– I’m merely a fragment, but even so, I know what you’re trying to do, young physician.

“Yes, Divine Priestess.”

– I’m on the side of good physicians, so I hope you succeed. And if it’s you, you’ll surely see the results you want.

My smile deepened at her words wishing me luck.

– And to give you one clue, what you’re thinking is probably right too.

“What I’m thinking…?”

– You have something else you want to use besides the ingredients, don’t you?

I thought of the treasure.

– That treasure was also made with help from one of our children.

“…!”

The Divine Priestess’s face gradually disappeared into the brilliantly blooming light.

– Oh right, and don’t make your companion wait too long. That one has unsatisfied desires…

“Let’s go quickly, Biyu.”

The Divine Priestess’s last words were drowned out by Raon’s words and couldn’t be heard.

Looking at the window where the sky had brightened before I knew it, I realized I had returned to my original location.

That is, Uncle’s room.

“…We’ve arrived.”

Looking at my watch, not much time had passed. Only a few hours at most.

Yet I felt like I had spent days inside the cave, just walking without eating or sleeping.

Uncle acted as if this timing was natural. Thanks to that, I could face him calmly as well.

“Did you succeed?”

“Yes!”

I shook the pouch I held in my arms to show him. Uncle kindly examined the flowers personally and guaranteed they were in top condition.

‘…He’s such a grateful person.’

I gazed at Uncle with fresh eyes. Still that stubborn and prickly expression.

But from when we first met until now when he’s helping me.

He had been treating me with infinite kindness. Even though I made an extremely suspicious request.

Until now, I rarely went against Mother’s words.

‘I’m sorry, Mother.’

Just this once, I hoped Mother would cutely let it slide just once as I opened my mouth.

“Um, Uncle. Aren’t you curious about why I need these flowers?”

“…Didn’t you say it was for research purposes?”

“Did you really believe that?”

Then Uncle looked slightly flustered.

Look at this person. He has a surprisingly innocent side.

“…All Baek Family members have their own world of research.”

Hearing the explanation, wasn’t that exactly right?

To summarize, it seemed Baek Family members either became physicians or scholars and researchers obsessed with something.

‘Is being a graduate student in their nature?’

Thinking of Mother who gained her current skills by diving deep into medicine alone, it wasn’t strange.

I corrected the conversation that had briefly gone off on a tangent.

“Research isn’t actually a wrong reason, but more precisely, I wanted to research because of my purpose.”

“You seem eager to tell me your purpose, so go ahead.”

“I’m going to save someone.”

Uncle froze.

Looking at his frighteningly hardened face, I opened my mouth.

Whether it was because Raon was beside me or because of the kindness Uncle had shown, I wasn’t afraid.

“I’m going to save Mother.”

Looking at his face now shaking in a different way, full of confusion and shock, I spoke clearly.

“Please help me, Uncle.”
