[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 141

“Drive safely, driver.”

“Thank you, customer.”

*Click.*

Getting out of the taxi, the fresh air greets me.

After sitting in the taxi for so long, my back feels all stiff.

<Lady Han Ga-eul starts broadcasting>

I fiddle with my phone to start the broadcast, and viewers flood in instantly.

“My babies, come on in.”

[⚔️Room Master Hi Hi]

[⚔️Room Master Good Morning]

“Isn’t it almost lunchtime?”

[⚔️Oh yeah]

[⚔️LOL real-name system for jobs]

The viewers are as lively as ever today.

They’re always full of energy, these friends of mine.

[⚔️Outside?]

[⚔️Where is this?]

“This is right here, right here!”

[⚔️DKDKDK]

[⚔️Wow, I’m excited]

“It’s the Samjeong Operational Command.”

[⚔️Oh, is it that day already?]

[⚔️That’s why the Room Master said the broadcast would start a bit late today]

Behind me, a grand building stretched out, and guards were standing watch at the entrance.

The place that commands six corps and four brigades. Usually, a command center is just one building, but this place is ridiculously huge.

“The first-ever streamer broadcasting from the Samjeong Operational Command! It’s Han Ga-eul.”

[⚔️LOL Room Master’s energy is on point today]

[⚔️Wow, military streamer idol LOL]

[⚔️Is this really the vibe? LOL]

What I’ve learned from streaming is that if you put energy into one side, the other side gets tired quickly.

When I hype things up, the viewers love it, so it’s a win-win.

“Since this is the military, there might be some parts we can’t show due to security. You get it, right?”

[⚔️We get it, we get it]

[⚔️Y_K]

“Alright, let’s go.”

As I approach the entrance, one of the guards who was staring blankly at me comes over.

“What is the purpose of your visit?”

“I’m here to see my grandfather.”

“May I have your name?”

“Write down Cheon Ha-jin.”

“Yes, Cheon Ha-jin, huh…”

The guard, who had been mechanically questioning me, widens his eyes.

I don’t know why he’s so surprised—it’s a command center, so high-ranking officers with stars must come and go all the time.

“Here’s your visitor pass. Once inside, take the right path to the Prosperity Hall. Filming is only allowed in the Prosperity Hall area, so please be careful.”

“Got it, thank you.”

He probably noticed the phone mount I was carrying and gave me the warning.

Following the guard’s directions, I take the right path at the intersection and find a road lined with beautiful trees.

“Phew, the air in the military is really nice.”

[⚔️Ew]

[⚔️Damn it]

“I can’t resist in a place with air this good.”

Walking a bit further, I find the smoking booth I was looking for at the corner.

It’s more of a designated smoking area with just a sticker on it, though.

*Click, click.*

“Phew— Ah, the air is so good.”

[⚔️Ah, bro LOL]

[⚔️My uncle acts like that…]

“Sister!”

I’m tired of hearing that guy call me “sister” after “young lady.”

A big guy in a neatly pressed military uniform waved his hand and approached, which was unlike him.

“Huh? Cheol.”

“Sergeant Gang Cheol!”

“Why aren’t you with the Viper Unit and here instead?”

“Soldiers are all like that. I got pulled out because they’re short on hands.”

[⚔️Damn, Cheol’s still huge as ever.]

[⚔️The newbies are gonna get disciplined.]

As the viewers said, it seems like he’s gotten even bigger since the last time I saw him.

“Phew— must be tough.”

“Not at all. But where’s Baekseol?”

“Here.”

I slightly opened the pocket of the cardigan I was wearing, and Cheol bent over to look.

Inside, a white cotton ball was snoozing softly.

“Must’ve fallen asleep in the car. She’ll wake up soon.”

“So cute.”

Cheol nodded after staring at Baekseol for a while.

“How did you get here?”

“I came after watching the broadcast.”

Cheol took out his phone from his pocket and waved it.

“Right. You were a viewer too.”

While chatting with Cheol, my cigarette burned out quickly.

I crushed the burnt-out cigarette and reached out to Cheol, who let out a forced laugh and turned his back.

Seems like Cheol has gotten used to the weird things I do.

“Whoa, I’m getting higher!”

I hooked my thigh around Cheol’s neck, and my view instantly rose.

[⚔️Cheol, you jerk, pay double taxes!]

[⚔️So jealous.]

It’s been a while since I rode Cheol’s neck-horse.

“Cheol, if it’s too heavy, I’ll get down.”

“Too light. Sister, you need to eat more.”

“I already ate a lot.”

When we first met, he couldn’t even speak properly, but now he’s slick with his answers.

As Cheol carried me and walked slowly, the ground seemed to shake.

“Cheol, are my thighs soft?”

“·····.”

“Are they squishy?”

[⚔️Kyaaaah!!!]

[⚔️I’m gonna lose my mind I’m gonna lose my mind I’m gonna lose my mind]

[⚔️Hang that guy!!]

[⚔️Life is like steel.]

Cheol kept walking without answering, his ears turning bright red.

Still, he’s a softie despite his size.

“Where are we going?”

“To where the Chief Master Sergeant is.”

“He’s waiting for me, huh.”

When I mentioned that the grandfather was waiting, I got off Cheol’s back, and he looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“I can’t meet him like this. Disappointed?”

“N-no.”

[⚔️That guy’s totally disappointed lololol]

[⚔️A bull-like guy from the Land of Courtesy]

[⚔️For real lol]

[⚔️As long as he doesn’t charge, he’s polite…]

[⚔️Should we kill him?]

[⚔️Your back’s gonna snap in half and you’ll die]

“Next time, I’ll wear a skirt. Don’t be too disappointed.”

“Sister, please.”

[⚔️Damn it, kill!!]

[⚔️Please, next life, let me be Gang-cheol, please, next life, let me be Gang-cheol]

As I walked and chatted with Cheol, I could feel the atmosphere around us getting weirder.

People who looked like a broadcasting team were running around busily, and soldiers were also moving around in a hurry.

“Grandfather just came and told me to sing a song and leave, huh?”

“Did you think it was a small event?”

“Yeah…”

Why did Grandfather call me to a place where even the broadcasting team is causing a ruckus?

“I just want to leave.”

“It’s too late. The Chief Master Sergeant is over there.”

Where Cheol pointed was in front of a large building that looked like a residence.

Among the three people talking there, one had a familiar face.

“Grandfather!”

“Yeah.”

As I ran to Grandfather, his goblin-like scary eyes curved like a crescent moon.

Grandfather placed his rough, aged hand on my head.

“Ugh.”

It’s a rough but pleasant touch.

“I might go bald. Please touch me gently.”

“Haha, you rascal.”

“I’m serious.”

The hand stroking my head became even rougher.

As I greeted Grandfather, I felt people around me staring at me.

“Please introduce me to the Chief Master Sergeant.”

“She’s like a granddaughter to me.”

The two people beside him looked utterly confused.

If she’s a granddaughter, she’s a granddaughter; if not, she’s not. They couldn’t understand what “like a granddaughter” meant.

“Hello, I’m Han Ga-eul.”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Bae Jun-ho.”

“Wow! Four stars. That’s cool.”

“Haha.”

As I bowed my head to greet him, he smiled warmly and extended his hand.

His epaulettes had four shiny stars.

“I’ve never seen the Chief Master Sergeant smile like that before. He must really like his granddaughter.”

When I looked at Grandfather, he had returned to his goblin-like face.

“This is the Commander of the Samjeong Operational Command.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Haha, since she’s the Chief Master Sergeant’s granddaughter, I should be the one asking for your favor.”

He seemed slightly younger than Grandfather, but they looked about the same age.

After shaking hands with the Commander, another hand reached out from the side.

“I’m Hwang Hong-hwang, Chief of Staff of the Samjeong Operational Command.”

“Huh?”

“My last name is Hwang, and my first name is Hong-hwang.”

‘Wow, what a disastrous name.’

As if familiar with my reaction, the Chief of Staff smiled and extended his hand.

“It’s not Hwang-hwang-hwang, hahaha!”

“Ah. Haha. Right.”

Not knowing how to react, I glanced at Grandfather for help, but he just shook his head.

His epaulettes had two shiny stars. Is it okay for a general to be that light-hearted?

“Nice to meet you. Uh… Chief? Chief Grandfather?”

“Oh my! I also have a pretty granddaughter…”

“Looks like it.”

I sent a glance to the grandfather, and he shook his head slightly again.

“Guess he’s just like this originally.”

Trying to figure someone out just by exchanging a few words isn’t easy, but he really seems like a comfortable neighborhood grandpa.

The clear, flawless glasses covering his wrinkled eyes seem to represent his personality.

The occasional glimmer of sharpness in them didn’t seem like something to ignore.

He seems like the perfect example of someone who looks nice but scarier when angry.

“Ahem, I’m also a grandfather.”

I looked at the commander who suddenly brought this up, and he awkwardly turned his gaze away.

“Yes, Commander Grandpa.”

Seeing the smile on his lips, it seems he likes the title.

Is being called ‘grandfather’ that good?

I guess I wouldn’t know since I haven’t lived that long yet.

“Have you eaten?”

“Not yet.”

As if the greetings were over, the grandfather threw out a typical Korean-style greeting.

“Shall we go eat together?”

“Umm… No! I’ll go eat with Cheol. You go ahead and eat.”

“Huh?”

Three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned towards Cheol.

“Sergeant Gang Cheol!”

“……” “……” “……”

“Ah, why are you guys killing our kid’s vibe!”

[⚔️Gang-cheol’s vision went dark!]

[⚔️Gang-cheol: Darkened state]

[⚔️Gang-cheol wanted to cover the room master’s mouth]

[⚔️Gang-cheol: Lack of action points]

As an untimely silence flowed, Baekseol peeked out from the pocket.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yes!”

She came out and hugged me, stretching her body on my palm.

The six eyes that were looking at Cheol naturally turned towards the fluffy ball on my palm.

“Ta-da. This is our Pposiraegi.”
