The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 45

“….”

I wondered why brothers could have such different personalities. But looking closely, he has a bit of Uncle’s slyness.

I pouted my lips.

“You’re Dad, so I’m calling you Dad. I’m not calling you Uncle.”

Dad hesitated.

“You….”

“Oh? It moved!”

Just then, Baby Fox opened her eyes.

‘Woooow, amazing.’

Her eyes were a really beautiful golden color.

“Whine…?”

Baby Fox looked confused. Then she looked around and tried to get up.

“This thing looks like it’s about to die.”

“Dad! Why are you hitting her!”

“I just touched her.”

She just collapsed with a thud when Dad lightly touched her.

“No no, it’s okay. I treated you, but you have no strength.”

She had already been unconscious for several days.

‘Besides, when I first diagnosed her, she was poisoned with anesthetic, right?’

It was a bit strange. Did my Diagnostic Ability work on animals too?

I haven’t tried it, so I don’t know.

However, I’ve never heard that people from families with Healing Ability can diagnose or treat animals.

‘Is she not an animal? But she looks so much like a baby fox.’

Though she has three tails.

I reached out to Baby Fox who was whining, trying to get up somehow.

When I very carefully brought my hand to her head, the fox flinched.

I gently stroked her with just my fingertips.

“I won’t hurt you. Are you scared?”

How many minutes passed? I felt her trembling subside a little.

Baby Fox hesitated, then soon sniffed my hand. Then she licked it.

‘Waah! So cute…!’

I had Dad bring the food I had prepared. It was peas and corn.

Just in case, I also prepared milk.

“Are you hungry? Eat up.”

“…So it’s a fox.”

Dad seemed somewhat dissatisfied for some reason.

Fortunately, the fox ate the prepared food well. After eating its fill, its belly became plump.

So cute…

‘Since we’ll be together for a while, should I give it a name?’

The fox no longer seemed afraid of me. After sniffing a few more times, it whined and rubbed its body against me.

‘Dad seemed to be scared of it though.’

Well, it makes sense since he’s as big as a mountain and has an expressionless face.

“Your name will be… ‘Raon’.”

Since it’s a fox from the Eastern Continent. I should name it in Eastern Continent style.

“It means ‘joyful’. Your hometown must be the Eastern Continent. I’ll name you this.”

I gently petted the fox. It seemed to like being touched around the ears.

“Kyung! Kyung!”

“…It sounds like a puppy. No, is it a little different?”

I smiled brightly while holding the cozy fox that fit snugly in my arms.

“I’ll definitely send you home.”

The Baby Fox ate a little more, ran around the room here and there, then quickly fell asleep. It seemed tired.

“Its stamina is weak…”

“It takes after you.”

“Eh.”

That was unfair. Isn’t it natural for a three-year-old to have weak stamina? Though I’m weak even compared to my peers.

“Still, I’ll take good care of it since I know it’s sick.”

Dad smiled faintly.

A little later,

I moved to another room.

There are a total of five rooms in the building where Dad lives.

One is Dad’s room. Another is the room where I slept. The third was a locked room.

‘I asked Dad why it was locked, but he said he doesn’t remember.’

The fourth is the room I gave to the Baby Fox.

The remaining one is…

When I opened the door, the scent of Medicinal Herbs wafted out. It’s a place being used as a Drying Room.

The Medicinal Materials Dad and I bought together are stored here.

Strangely, this room has shelves made specifically for Medicinal Materials.

Not only that, but it’s in the shade where sunlight doesn’t reach, and has a structure that allows wind to circulate well.

It was a room made for Medicinal Materials.

‘Anyone can see this is a room made for a Physician and Pharmacist.’

Dad wouldn’t have used it. Naturally, ‘Mother’ came to mind.

‘Her name was Arin, right?’

That’s what Dad called her.

What kind of personality does it have? I only know its appearance.

I’ll figure that out gradually later.

I walked briskly, avoiding the medicinal materials that were drying.

“Here it is.”

Where I stopped, there was an object wrapped in cloth. I pulled away the cloth that was covering the object.

Then a cage with bars appeared, and the being that had been sleeping inside slowly opened its eyes.

“Hello. I see you again today?”

Unlike the Baby Fox I saw for the first time in this life, this one is an old acquaintance.

Specifically, the masterless Divine Beast that Hei Daeui had luckily obtained in my past life.

It was a pure white baby snake.

If there was something different from ordinary snakes, it would be the horn growing on its head.

Hiss hiss. I grinned as I watched its wary posture.

‘You looked at me like that even when you were dying.’

Still, we became close before you completely closed your eyes. It was only 3 days though…

This child is called a ‘Poison Horn Snake.’

As the name suggests, it’s a horned snake that carries poison, and a type of Divine Beast born from nature.

According to materials I researched later, it’s an extremely rare existence.

When a Physician or Pharmacist becomes its master, they gain tremendous talent in manufacturing not only elixirs but also poisons.

This child itself also has Plant Manipulation Ability, showing excellent abilities in storing, preserving, and managing medicinal materials.

‘Where did such a treasure roll in from?’

I should be grateful to Hei Daeui.

First, I need to be recognized as its master though.

I held out what I had brought.

“Are you hungry?”

I heard that Divine Beasts don’t feel hunger very well, but I brought clean fruit just in case.

They say these guys only eat fruit.

For several days I had only been looking, but this was the first time I extended my hand.

“Ah, just holding it out like this won’t make you come…”

What should I do? Should I open the cage bars?

I was pondering for a while.

Slowly.

Surprisingly, the baby snake approached closer. My surprise was brief, as I heard a familiar voice.

“What are you doing there?”

I couldn’t even pull my hand back and shouted.

“Waah, don’t step on the medicinal materials!”

“I won’t step on them.”

Dad’s feet floated up gently.

Ah, that method?

Dad, who had flown over lightly, stared at me.

“After the fox, now a snake? You were planning to turn the house into an animal farm.”

“No, I won’t.”

I don’t know if the Baby Fox is a divine beast, but having too many divine beasts would just drain my energy. One Poison Horn Snake is enough for me.

“I was raising it. You remember this one, right?”

“I remember. You suddenly asked me to go buy something while we were shopping, and then you bought it. I thought you were going to cook it…”

“Waaaah! What are you doing, you child!”

I can hear you! You cruel father!

We had bought the Poison Horn Snake in some shabby alley. It was just as Hei Daeui had said.

‘Ah, just pay that much and take it. It’s poisonous so you can’t even eat it, and mutants don’t sell well anyway.’

The person selling animals didn’t seem to know its true value.

‘Well, it’s only known among the Noble Families through word of mouth.’

“Sorry about this. Snake.”

“…Apologize more sincerely!”

Dad obediently apologized to the baby snake as I told him to. Somehow he seemed more relaxed than when dealing with the fox.

“Taming a masterless divine beast, that won’t be easy.”

“Still, I have to do it. I know it’s very difficult but… huh?”

Right, it was a very difficult task.

According to records, Poison Horn Snakes are especially difficult divine beasts to tame – didn’t it take some people 10 years?

Actually, if I hadn’t picked up the baby Poison Horn Snake that Hei Daeui had thrown away in annoyance.

We would never have crossed paths in our lifetimes, and the dying Poison Horn Snake wouldn’t have opened its heart to me even for those 3 days.

Yes, that’s how it was…

-Squeak?

The divine beast approached my finger and tilted its head. Then it smoothly climbed up onto my palm.

It’s cute, it’s cute but…!

Its scales are so cool…!

“Dad, do divine beasts make similar sounds by any chance?”

I asked with a bewildered expression.

“Usually.”

“…Really?”

In the original work, the Female Lead’s divine beast chirped like a bird.

“If it’s in perfect animal form, it would sound like that animal. But there are no horned snakes in the world.”

“That’s true…”

The baby snake had now climbed up to my wrist. It was like a bracelet.

“Amazing. Did it climb onto your hand right away?”

I didn’t have time to be amazed. I was completely frozen stiff, only blinking my eyes.

‘What… is this?’

I hear a small sound in my ear.

-Fate.

It wasn’t my imagination.

But the feeling was a bit strange.

It was like a newborn baby saying instead of crying ‘wah’…

‘Hello, Mother?’ That kind of feeling…
