The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 46

Did this Baby Snake really speak?

“Dad, do Divine Beasts talk too?”

“This is the first I’ve heard of it.”

It would have been nice if Hei Birang, who knows Divine Beasts well, was here, but hmm. So they don’t, right?

-Found. Fate.

I heard it again. A strange voice that sounded both rigid and innocently childlike.

The Baby Snake buried its head deep into my palm.

-Smells like me.

I froze in shock.

-Did you save me? Where? Tell me.

What is it saying? Right now, those words…

-Can’t talk anymore. This is the last time.

“Before! Before!”

I became urgent.

“Before, a very long time ago, I saved you. Even though we were only together for 3 days…!”

The Baby Snake looked at me while leaning against my palm.

Its eyes were incredibly clear.

-I understand.

The snake rolled its eyes around. It looked dejected as they drooped down.

-Used up all the power Mother gave me.

-Goodbye.

What? Wait, wait a minute. Where are you going? Just as I was about to put strength in my hand, I heard a fading voice.

-Please take… care.

The strength slowly drained from my hand.

“D-Dad…! Water, bring some water! The one over there!”

Fortunately, Dad moved quickly.

Carried by the wind, the water container flew over. I poured water into my hand. Water droplets floated up in the air.

The snake lifted its head and absorbed the water.

The snake’s white pupils gradually turned green.

It was the same color as my eyes.

“It’s been imprinted.”

The moment those words of confirmation dropped, my strength gave out and I collapsed.

Strong hands caught me.

“Waaah… I thought I was going to die.”

I instinctively felt that water was needed, but who knew this would lead to imprinting.

-…Master.

A very faint voice lingered by my ear before dispersing.

I didn’t understand why, but the Poison Horn Snake that became my divine beast could speak. That seemed to be its last words.

And I heard the snake’s final words clearly.

…It was a word that pierced right through me.

“…Dad, isn’t Biyu too amazing?”

I lifted my head up just like that. Since he was supporting me, Dad’s face appeared upside down.

Dad spoke with a completely unsurprised expression.

“Yes, amazing indeed.”

Whether he meant it or not. I smiled broadly.

“Then praise me.”

How trivial really.

To think I wanted to receive praise once I had parents.

* * *

Dad had asked if I was going to make an animal farm at home.

‘I guess he wasn’t wrong.’

I hadn’t planned on it, but looking at the scene before me, I briefly thought that might actually happen.

-Peep! Peep!

-Peeeeep?

“Kyuu!”

After naming the Baby Fox and becoming a divine beast holder chosen by the Poison Horn Snake.

Less than an hour later, Brother Gyewon came to visit.

‘This brother… did he really sleep in the forest?’

I was so shocked seeing him with leaves stuck all over his hair.

‘Wait, then was Uncle’s warning about him possibly kidnapping me in the middle of the night actually true?’

I felt a chill for no reason.

Anyway, Brother Gyewon didn’t appear alone but came with Thunder Beast.

But at this very moment, not only was the baby Poison Horn Snake coiled around my hand. The Baby Fox Raon, who had woken up and was nestled in my arms, came face to face with them.

And this was now.

-Peep! Peep peep peep! Peep!

“…What are they doing?”

“…Establishing hierarchy maybe?”

Thunder Beast, or rather the chick-like ball of fur, was flying in the air.

The baby Poison Horn Snake and Baby Fox were quietly listening to its cries and responding once in a while.

By the way, I named the baby Poison Horn Snake ‘Baembam’.

“No matter how I look at it, it seems like establishing order. Is it territorial behavior?”

“Huh.”

Brother Gyewon looked at me with bewildered eyes.

“I’ll say something to him.”

“No, no. It’s fine. They don’t seem to dislike it either.”

I stopped Hei Gyewon.

“Our family grew by one in just a day.”

“Yeah, it’s bustling, isn’t it?”

“Then… you’re not going to come to our house anymore?”

I hesitated. Brother Gyewon’s face looked dejected.

“Nephew should just live here too. There are many rooms left here.”

Brother seemed tempted, but only for a moment.

“Second Uncle probably won’t allow it.”

I agree.

I found out late, but strangely enough, Dad has what you might call possessiveness over this house?

That kind of thing is strong in him.

Even while he was sick, he absolutely wouldn’t allow Uncle and Uncle to stay for more than a certain amount of time.

‘Leave him be. Uncle is a broad-minded brother.’

Uncle and Uncle seemed to know the reason, but they didn’t ask.

It seems to be related to the memories Dad has forgotten.

‘When he remembers someday, we’ll hear about it.’

I patted my cousin brother’s shoulder.

“When Uncle Baek goes to the warehouse, sleep at our house.”

I was a little surprised by the words “our house” that came out naturally.

Dad, who was standing a little away, also looked surprised.

What, were you listening? I felt a little pleased.

“We’re family.”

Hei Biwon, Uncle’s period of Madness will come again. It would be good to be together then.

If Dad says no, I’ll have to persuade him somehow. If that doesn’t work, I can just go there.

When I said this, my cousin brother’s face brightened.

“Where are Uncle Baek and Uncle Poo?”

“They went to the Main Hall.”

Since I woke up early, it was still morning. Besides, weren’t those gentlemen under house arrest?

“…From this morning?”

“Yeah. They said they were going to storm in.”

“…Hmm. It would be troublesome if patients cause trouble.”

Hei Gyewon smiled slightly.

“Right. But they’ll try hard not to cause you trouble. Father also said he was ‘going to support the Family Head.'”

“What on earth does that mean…”

That just makes me more anxious.

I was about to say something.

A strange cry was heard and I quickly raised my head.

‘A bird?’

Amazingly, there was a bright red bird made of fire flying swiftly through the sky.

-Kiiiiiek!

Making strange crying sounds.

“What is that…”

“I know! It’s my customer!”

It was a bird familiar to me.

‘Jeok Yunha’s Divine Beast!’

Jeok Yunha also had a Divine Beast. I have to pretend it’s my first time seeing it, so I can’t call its name, but what should I do?

“Dad, hold me up, no, make me float!”

There’s a capable Father here, isn’t there.

My body floated up gently as if it had been waiting. Below, Thunder Beast and Baembam, and even Baby Fox Raon were making a commotion.

‘Are they trying to guard the home? How admirable.’

When I rose to a certain height, the bird that had been spinning around showed interest in me.

“Come here.”

The bird perched on my arm but…

Ugh, so heavy…!

‘Hey, you should consider your weight!’

It had been a while since we met, but it was still a thoughtless bird.

Regardless, the burdensome large Fire Bird flapped its wings as if protesting that my arm was too small.

“What a rude bird.”

A large hand swiftly grabbed and held the wing. It was Dad, floating in the air just like me.

“There’s a letter tied to its ankle. Is it a Messenger Bird?”

“Yes, it must be. From Jeok Yunha!”

Dad held me and came down to the ground.

‘I knew she would contact me like this.’

The letter’s contents were also as I expected. Though it feels like time has flown by while taking care of Dad.

Three days have passed since I treated Tak Minjae. In other words, saying that the child’s body has completely healed and all the poison has been resolved.

‘As long as he didn’t eat any other poison.’

It speaks of the beginning of another stroke of luck.

[…Therefore, I want to repay the favor and ask for help, so I respectfully inquire whether you could help us.]

Great.

‘The medicine fees from now on are secured, secured!’

I’m excited. It was the moment I turned my head with a big smile.

‘Huh?’

I was startled. And for good reason, because Dad was gripping the bird’s neck.

Fire Bird was coughing and wheezing.

“Ah, what are you doing?!”
