The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 38

Jeok Yunha’s face contorted violently as she reached out her hand.

The moment Dad stepped back to avoid her hand.

“Dad, mage, Fire Mage!”

Whoooosh!

A massive flame erupted from Jeok Yunha’s fist.

“So it seems.”

Dad remained calm. Wind suddenly blew and flipped the desk, which blocked the incoming fist in his place.

The wood instantly burst into flames and turned to ash.

“A high-performance Fire Mage.”

“Ha! Seriouslyyyy?”

Jeok Yunha snorted.

“Ah, I get it. I wondered why that pretty face looked familiar – aren’t you the Hei Family’s most vicious attack dog!”

Attack dog?

“I thought you were dead or missing, but you’re alive? Why are you interfering with my business!!”

Jeok Yunha, that person was a mixed blood of Western Continent and Eastern Continent people, and was also a fire ability user that only appeared among Western Continent people.

‘Though she insists her identity is as an Eastern Continent person.’

The problem was that those sparks were spreading everywhere!

Does this crazy person even remember where this is?!

Crackle crackle!

‘Kyaaaaaaaa!’

The medicinal herbs! The medicinal herbs! They’re burning.

How many rare medicinal materials are in this eccentric shop! Each one is of immeasurable value!

Kyaaaak! Medicinal herbs worth 10 gold ingots!

I became frantic. While floating in the air, I urgently called to Uncle who was standing nearby not knowing what to do.

“Uncle Undeok!”

“Yes, yes? How do you know my name…”

“Is that important right now?! Please put me down quickly, hurry!”

Uncle put me down on the floor, and I poured some of the water from the water container onto the medicinal herbs.

I put out the urgent fire.

I quickly turned my head.

‘Dad is definitely playing around! He’s just playing with her!’

Look at that calm attitude and expression. It’s the exact same composure as when he was deflecting Hei Yehun’s wooden staff.

I quickly poured the remaining water on my hands.

‘Geez, you humans!’

Clap, I clapped my hands.

Whoooosh!

A wave surged forward and trapped the two adults in water.

Soon after, the two adults floated up into the air.

It was ‘Diagnosis’.

“…What is this, a Water Mage?! Damn it, was there another ability user hiding cowardly?! Put me down!”

The blazing fire was helplessly extinguished inside my water.

“Stop fighting!!”

I shouted while fuming.

“You two are worse than three-year-olds! Who’s the adult here, really!”

The surroundings instantly became quiet.

I stomped over to Jeok Yunha and pointed my finger at her furiously.

“You there, lady! Someone who calls themselves a Herb Merchant should handle medicinal herbs carefully! Using fire in here?!”

“…Huh?”

Jeok Yunha made a bewildered expression. She seemed to have come to her senses a bit now.

“I’m the shop owner though…”

“So what? Just because you’re the owner you can handle things carelessly?! These are ingredients that save people!”

“Uh… sorry?”

Jeok Yunha apologized with a confused expression. With a look like she didn’t know why she was apologizing.

“It’s mine though, why am I getting scolded?”

“Because you did something worth scolding for.”

Dad spat out indifferently while floating trapped in water. Jeok Yunha’s eyes became fierce like a beast again.

“Dad, don’t talk back either!”

Some time passed.

Jeok Yunha seemed to have calmed down a bit as she crossed her arms inside the water that trapped her.

Then with a somewhat cooler expression, she said this.

“Hey there, cute baby? The Uncle holding you started the fight. Big sister is innocent.”

Is that something to say with a serious expression?

“Are my eyes decorations? You attacked first!”

The two are exactly the same.

I can’t tell who’s the adult.

Besides, this wouldn’t have happened if Jeok Yunha had calmly talked from the beginning.

“Um, Lady Yunha…”

Fortunately, Uncle Undeok grabbed Jeok Yunha’s arm and restrained her. Finally, Jeok Yunha seemed to have room to listen.

“Are you coming to your senses? Please look at my face.”

“Uncle Undeok? Huh, Uncle… why is your face healed…?”

“Hehe… You’ve come to your senses.”

As if seeing his clear face for the first time, surprise and shock crossed Jeok Yunha’s face before she became dazed.

Uncle Undeok bowed his head politely toward us.

“I apologize, I’ll apologize on her behalf. Miss Yunha is still inexperienced at controlling her abilities as a Fire Mage and gets easily swept up by impulses.”

Jeok Yunha made an embarrassed expression.

“Now, may we have a proper conversation?”

Uncle Undeok glanced at me and pointed carefully.

“Miss Yunha, these people are my benefactors who treated me, and they’re physicians.”

Jeok Yunha blinked her eyes.

“Physicians? That pitch-black human? Hei Bihu is a warrior, isn’t he? He was trying to kill me with wind, wasn’t he?”

No, not him. Me. It’s me.

* * *

“What, that’s impossible!”

A little later, at another herb shop.

It was also another shop that Jeok Yunha operated.

“That Little One is Hei Bihu’s daughter? She looks too gentle and pretty! That man looks too sharp!”

Why is she surprised about that? Though I understood.

“And a three-year-old is a physician? A pharmacist? She really treated Uncle Undeok? That’s nonsense!”

She kept saying she couldn’t believe it, so when I told her my age, this is what happened.

Jeok Yunha pounded the table with bangs.

The table’s going to break. I felt it before too, but she’s really a strong person.

‘People from the Western Continent are generally quite bold and rough.’

But ironically, that person considers the Eastern Continent her spiritual home and thinks of herself as a complete Eastern Continent person.

‘Her mother was from Eastern Continent slave origins, wasn’t she…’

Dad lightly tapped my forehead.

“Scared?”

“What?”

“…Never mind.”

Why is he acting like that? I tilted my head while speaking to Jeok Yunha.

“Hey, since you couldn’t believe it, I even treated your hand.”

Even though I treated her wound, Jeok Yunha was still acting like this, saying it was nonsense.

“Haha… Please understand. Miss Yunha needs a little time to accept things.”

“Ah, right. Wait a moment. I’m processing something impossible.”

Sparks flew crackling around Jeok Yunha.

How did someone who handles fire decide to become an herb merchant?

‘She’s really a fascinating person.’

She’s even someone who will achieve great success in the future, becoming incredibly wealthy.

Baekryong Trading Company.

The trading company this person establishes becomes one of the Empire’s Top 3 Trading Companies.

‘Well, I understand.’

Fire Mages hold a somewhat unique position among ability users.

‘It’s because abilities directly affect personality and the brain.’

According to facts revealed by Western Continent medical scholars, Fire Mages until their abilities stabilize…

Cannot control their anger and excitement, and their vision narrows when excited.

The period when abilities stabilize varies from person to person, and some people never stabilize in their lifetime.

That’s why there are even sayings that in this land with many Fire Magic users, wars and battles occur endlessly.

‘Earth Magic users are often said to be greedy.’

Of course, Eastern Continent ability users also have their characteristics.

Lightning Magic users are prone to getting caught up in madness, and Water Mages are often said to be fickle…

Anyway, Fire and Earth Magic users still prove their strength through fighting, seize victory, and derive pleasure from it.

This Empire is the only neutral zone in the Western Continent.

‘Like Switzerland.’

A country of healers. A heaven for physicians. A place where warriors must unconditionally humble themselves when entering.

This order is possible thanks to the powerful military force of the Imperial Family, which is full of tremendous Earth Magic users.

‘That annoying Crown Prince’s face came to mind.’

But even the Imperial Family’s power is now waning. Because powerful Earth Mages no longer emerge like before.

As I finished my thoughts, Jeok Yunha let out a sigh.

“Phew… I’ve really calmed down. I’m sorry for showing such an unseemly display, Uncle.”

“Hehe, not at all. Rather than me, didn’t those guests over there have a hard time?”

Jeok Yunha’s black eyes gazed at me. They were calm eyes now.

“I was also rude to the precious young lady. I’m sorry.”

‘Trading company name? I want to try creating a pure white trading company!’

In my 3rd life at twelve years old, when I first met this person. The woman over thirty sparkled her eyes like she was twenty.

‘Hei Biyu. Cute little one, I like you.’

The woman who was older than now was cheerful but wise because her abilities had stabilized, and she was affectionate and kind.

Even when bidding me eternal farewell, she was smiling and kind.

‘But we can’t go together.’

‘…Why?’

‘I’m Uncle Undeok’s family. You’re from the Hei Family, and Uncle Undeok will never forgive the Hei Family for life.’

Though we couldn’t become allies or friends.

She was probably one of the few people who wished for my happiness.

‘Live well.’

‘Even if I give you all my luck, Bima, be happy.’

The woman who said that died a few years later.

Before I, who had become the continent’s greatest physician and pharmacist, could even ask if we couldn’t become allies now.

“So then….”

Jeok Yunha said brightly.

“You’re saying she’s a genius?”

It was a different attitude from just moments ago when she had been shouting loudly that she couldn’t understand.

Her black eyes were filled with mischievous intelligence.

“Then I’ll have to make her my ally.”
