[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 40

As I watched a man collapsed on the street, trembling in pain, I suddenly realized I felt no guilt. Even after crushing a person’s wrist, my heart remained calm, devoid of any emotional disturbance.

If I had to pinpoint any emotion, it was a faint sense of pleasure.

The feeling when bones shattered in my hand was akin to the tiny satisfaction of popping bubble wrap.

[Ding!]

[The Mana of Illusory Dreams has been unlocked.]

A strange energy hidden deep within my body opened up once again.

[A portion of your guilt has disappeared.]

[Siddhartha Gautama advises you not to fall into distraction.]

Dazed by the sensation of my emotions fading, I waved my hand to dismiss the floating text.

Turning my head, I saw Eonni giving me a worried look.

“I’m fine.”

At my nonchalant reply, Eonni forced a smile.

When I turned my gaze again, I saw a man groaning in pain beside me. At that moment, an unprecedented power gathered in my eyes.

The dreamlike pleasure enveloped the man’s body.

“Ugh… Huhu… Huhu…”

The groans of pain gradually transformed into laughter, as if he were high on drugs.

The man, lost in pain, would chase after this illusory pleasure like a dream.

“Eonni, let’s go.”

“Are you just going to leave him like that?”

At Eonni’s concerned question, I glanced at the chat window and saw viewers already spreading information about my past misdeeds.

“It’s fine. He’ll like it. Eonni, shall we hold hands?”

“Sure!”

“Give me the phone. I’ll take the pictures.”

Eonni, who had been showing concern, suddenly brightened up and offered her hand as if nothing had happened.

Interlocking fingers with Eonni, we wandered around Rodeo Street.

[How many is that now? LOL]

[No idea. It’s like the Room Master attracts one person with every step.]

[LOL I’m curious where they’ll latch on next.]

Everywhere we went, all sorts of people clung to us.

“Anyone need a liver transplant? How many have we saved today?”

[LOLOLOL]

[This crazy girl, I swear.]

“Now I get why those bastards’ lines are so cliché. I’m all out too.”

[For real, LOL. They’re like extreme professionals.]

[This is hilarious LOLOL.]

“Autumn! Let’s go check that out.”

Eonni, seemingly tireless, dragged me around everywhere. Following her pointed finger, I saw a person in a red hat selling something on a stall.

[Show us too!]

[Hand the phone to the Vice Commander!]

“My babies. This is just for me.”

The viewers went wild, so I eventually handed the phone back to Eonni and approached the stall.

As I got closer, the foreigner in the red hat greeted me with a smile.

“Welcome.”

“Uh… Yes. Hello.”

[LOL, you speak Korean well.]

[Turkish ice cream LOL]

“Want to try it first, Eonni? I heard it’s all about dodging and stuff.”

“Right! I’ve only seen it on TV. I want to try it! Shop Owner, give me the strawberry flavor, please.”

The Turkish ice cream shop owner, who had been laughing playfully, began his dazzling hand movements.

He placed the ice cream on the spoon at the end of a long stick, teasingly moving it back and forth quickly.

The constant spinning made it hard to catch, and eventually, Eonni grabbed the cone that the ice cream was stuck to.

“Ah! Got it!”

The moment Eonni grabbed the ice cream, the owner lifted the stick, and the cleverly stacked cone slipped out.

The cone with the ice cream came off, leaving Eonni holding an empty cone with no ice cream.

[What she caught was just an empty shell LOL]

[LOL, look at the deputy commander looking so disappointed]

[Damn, since the room master isn’t using it, the deputy commander’s been wearing those ridiculous sunglasses]

“Hahaha. Eonni, why do you look so devastated?”

“Ugh… Autumn, avenge me.”

Following Eonni’s words, I approached the stall, and the ice cream owner smirked and subtly offered me the ice cream.

As my hand slowly reached out, the stick with the ice cream quickly flicked to the side.

At that moment, it felt like I was taking in the whole scene at once, and my focus, which should have been on the tip of the ice cream stick, expanded widely.

—Squish

As the stick flicked away, my hand arrived at its destination as if I had predicted it, and I grabbed the ice cream. But instead of the cone, I ended up grabbing the ice cream itself, which squished in my hand.

“Ah…”

Strawberry-flavored ice cream oozed out from between my tightly clenched fingers.

[Damn, the room master’s hand is so fast LOL]

[LOL, the Turkish ice cream owner’s expression got owned]

Looking at the squished ice cream in my hand, I glanced up and saw the ice cream owner’s expression had changed.

“Uh… Can I get another strawberry one, please?”

The ice cream owner, now expressionless, handed over two ice creams without any tricks.

[The room master killed it T_T]

[Ice cream shop shut down]

[LOL, this is hilarious]

Leaving behind the disappointingly ended Turkish ice cream challenge, Eonni and I licked our ice creams as we walked away from the stall.

“Was it fun?”

“So exciting! Let’s try something else.”

As we walked further, we saw a street of stalls set up under national support for senior welfare.

There were stalls selling treats like cotton candy and hotteok, as well as stalls with various games.

“Autumn, should we start with the nail hammering or the doll grabbing?”

“Hmm, let’s start with throwing darts to knock over the dolls.”

Heading to the game stall, we saw blunt darts to throw and dolls to knock over and win.

It was set up to be possible.

“Ga-eul! Nyangjjin!!”

Following Eonni’s finger, my gaze shifted to a fluffy-looking cat plushie that Eonni liked.

[That thing ain’t gonna fall over, lol.]

[Yeah, I rigged it so it won’t fall.]

“Eonni, wait, I’ll get it for you.”

“Ooh! Can you do it? Don’t push yourself.”

“If it’s me, it’s a piece of cake. Shop Owner, 10 throws, please.”

“Yes, that’ll be 3,000 won.”

I confidently stood in front of the booth, glaring at Nyangjjin, then picked up a blunt dart and lightly threw it.

—Whoosh

[???]

[Even the Room Master couldn’t do it, lol.]

“…The first shot always misses.”

After that, two more shots, and by the third, I was just swiping at the air, nowhere near Nyangjjin.

[LOL, are you throwing with your feet?]

[Our Ga-eul is finally showing some humanity.]

“Don’t you guys know about zeroing in? I’ll admit to the first three shots.”

[LOL, Ga-eul’s military service is showing.]

[Wow, the excuses are top-notch, teacher, lol.]

Even after that, the darts kept flying in weird directions, and eventually, only three were left.

“…Shop Owner, can I throw three at the same time?”

“Hoho. Yes, go ahead. Many people do that when they’re struggling.”

Seeing the mocking chat, I got heated up, grabbed the three darts, and threw them with all my might.

—Thwack!

With a loud sound of something hitting, fur was flying in the air above the booth.

[What the hell is that?]

[LOL, it’s totally wrecked.]

The dart, instead of flying, had pierced Nyangjjin’s neck, which was now dangling with the dart stuck in the wooden board behind it, and stuffing was spilling out from the torn neck.

“Uh, um… Shop Owner, is that supposed to happen?”

“….”

The booth owner blinked at the plushie, and Eonni next to me seemed shocked at the sight of Nyangjjin with its neck blown out.

“Uh… I definitely blunted all of them. Seems like I missed one by mistake.”

“Do I have to take that?”

At my question, the owner seemed to snap out of it and handed over a new, packaged plushie, saying no.

“Eonni, take it.”

“Wow… This is a discontinued Nyangjjin. Thanks, Ga-eul.”

Eonni took the plushie and looked at me with a touched expression.

Seeing that expression, I think I understand why guys go all out to win plushies for their girlfriends.

“I’m happier because you like it.”

“Yeah, yeah! I love it.”

“Phew. That’s a relief. Eonni, I’m gonna go smoke.”

“Alright, let’s go!”

Eonni, who usually doesn’t like it when I go smoke, seemed in a good mood because of the plushie and agreed right away.

Taking Eonni, who was hugging the plushie, to the smoking area, I lit a cigarette and took a drag.

“Phew.”

“Alright, guys, I’ll end the broadcast here.”

[You did well, so I’ll send you off.]

[LOL, throwing darts was so funny.]

[Bye-bye, Bangjang.]

[Bye-bye.]

“Hey, my babies, have sweet dreams. Bye-bye.”

[Damn, you sweet thing, you’re gonna be the death of me.]

[LOL, if you don’t turn it on on time tomorrow, I’ll jump off.]

<The broadcast has ended.>

Leaving behind the viewers’ cute threats, I ended the broadcast and stubbed out the cigarette that was left.

“Eonni.”

“Yeah?”

Eonni was grinning at a doll without even looking at me.

“Should we finish what we couldn’t do earlier?”

Only then did Eonni look at me.

“What we couldn’t do?”

I stepped closer to Eonni, who was standing a bit away, worried the cigarette smell might linger, and placed my hands on her waist and the back of her neck, pulling her into a hug.

“Hic…”

As our faces slowly got closer, I saw Eonni tightly close her eyes.

When our lips were close enough to touch, I could feel Eonni’s warm breath, which felt nice.

Soon, our lips met, and I could feel Eonni’s soft lips.

“Hmm…”

Feeling Eonni’s soft lips on mine, I unconsciously sucked on her lower lip, savoring it.

The softness of Eonni’s lips on my tongue was so sweet.

My hand had already moved down from Eonni’s waist to her butt, gently squeezing.

Enjoying Eonni’s lips and butt, I suddenly felt a presence from afar.

“Haaa…”

I comforted Eonni, who was blushing and swaying.

“I wish we could’ve mixed tongues, Eonni. It’s a shame.”

“Hic… Stop saying embarrassing things!”

“Next time, I’ll finish it all, okay?”

Instead of answering, Eonni turned her face away, and I teased her as we walked to the parking lot, which was too late.

“Go in, Eonni.”

“Are you sure you don’t want me to take you?”

“Yeah. I want to go alone.”

“Alright. Be careful going in.”

“Hey, Eonni, drive safely too. Bye-bye.”

I sent off Eonni, who wanted to take me, and took a taxi home to get ready for bed.
