[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 155

“Ah, I’m full.”

“I’m full.”

“Is Baekseol full too?”

“Yeah!”

*Creak.*

[⚔️Buy a better chair]

[⚔️It’s about to break lol]

“A chair?”

*Squeak, squeak.*

While petting Baekseol, who’s curled up on my lap, the chair screams as I wiggle around.

I’ve been using this second-hand chair I got back when I lived in a one-room apartment, so it’s probably time to replace it.

“But it still seems usable, though?”

[⚔️Lol, are you a cheapskate?]

[⚔️A chair is super important for a streamer who sits all day]

“I don’t know. I’ll replace it someday. I’m gonna rest, so you guys chat among yourselves.”

[⚔️Lol, are you a room opener?]

“Ah, I dunno. I’m so full.”

[⚔️This is ridiculous lol]

I feel like my mental exhaustion hasn’t fully worn off, even though my body’s fine.

*Ding!*

[Hello, streamer Lady Han Ga-eul. Our company can provide you with a chair. EliteChair is an ergonomic chair that combines gaming and relaxation, and we proudly claim it to be the most perfect gaming-focused chair in the world.]

“Oh.”

“What do I need to do if I accept it?”

*Ding!*

[EliteChair has sponsored 100,000 won]

[Just use it, that’s all.]

“Oh.”

[⚔️Nice]

[⚔️Lol, just using it is promotion enough]

*Squeak, squeak.*

The chair under me is crying out, begging to be replaced.

Since I just need to sit on it during streams, it doesn’t seem like a burden.

“Guys, what should I do?”

[⚔️EliteChair is legit]

[⚔️Yeah, it’s good]

[⚔️It’s the best if you ignore the price]

Seeing the viewers’ chats, the reputation seems decent, so there’s no reason to refuse.

“Thank you, I’ll use it gratefully.”

*Ding!*

[EliteChair has sponsored 100,000 won]

[(･`◡´･)ゝ]

[⚔️Lololol]

[⚔️EliteChair is one of us]

[⚔️Wow, short and to the point, I like it]

“Alright? Now you guys chat among yourselves.”

[⚔️We’ll chat, you just keep the room open]

[⚔️Room opener]

“You jerks, your language is so bad.”

[⚔️Lolololol]

[⚔️If you’re mad, just keep streaming]

I feel so lethargic that I don’t feel like doing anything.

But it’s not polite to the viewers who came to watch if I just leave the stream on and do nothing.

“Let’s go out and play to help digest.”

[⚔️Go go]

[⚔️Should’ve done that earlier]

“Alright, I’ll get ready. You guys behave, okay? No causing trouble?”

[⚔️Lol, just trust us]

[⚔️The streamer’s the one who always causes trouble lol]

[⚔️For real lol]

“Baekseol, let’s go wash up.”

“Yeah!”

Baekseol, who was dozing off, jumped up at the mention of washing.

She must really be an exotic rabbit.

…

..

.

*Splash!*

“Ahhh! You little rascal!”

“Excited!”

***

“Wow!”

“Eek!”

It seems like my sister was quite startled, as she turned around and blinked her big eyes at me.

[⚔️LOL, look at how scared Darlin is]

[⚔️Daha]

“Ga-eul!”

“Yes, it’s Ga-eul.”

Belatedly, as if she was happy to see me, she spread her arms and hugged me.

“Did you get hurt on the deserted island?”

“Of course not.”

I could feel her warm body temperature as I lowered my posture to hug her.

When I stroked her head, she purred. She’s like a cat.

After hugging for a while, my sister pulled away from my arms and smiled brightly.

“Ga-eul, I haven’t eaten lunch. I’m hungry.”

“Why haven’t you eaten yet?”

“I was busy.”

Even as she answered me, her gaze was on Baekseol.

“Hi, Baekseol.”

“Yes!”

“Baekseol is cute as always.”

After greeting Baekseol, my sister crossed her arms.

“Want to go out for some snacks?”

“Yes!”

My sister seems to be incredibly busy these days.

But it’s a relief that the shop is running smoothly.

“Let’s go.”

As my sister and I stepped out into the market, delicious smells started wafting through the air.

Thanks to that, even my half-digested stomach started demanding more food.

While my sister and I were looking around deciding what to eat, we heard a voice calling us from the side.

“Young lady! Have some skewers before you go!”

“Ah! Shop Owner!”

Turning our gaze, it was the shop owner who gave us the Megaton chicken skewers last time.

“Sister, let’s eat that.”

“Sure.”

On the stall, the chicken skewers were sizzling and cooking.

Just looking at them makes my mouth water.

“Shop Owner, please give us the green onion chicken skewers.”

“Haha, just wait a bit. I’ll grill them deliciously for you soon.”

“Thank you. What about you, sister?”

“I’ll eat with Ga-eul.”

Seeing the shaking above my head, it seems Baekseol is excited too.

“What about Baekseol?”

“Together!”

Why do they all like to share so much? It looks like we’re going to split one skewer among the three of us.

“Shop Owner, please give us the largest size.”

“Just wait a moment.”

The shop owner took out the skewers he had prepared earlier and started grilling them on the fire.

With some torch action, they were cooked in no time.

[⚔️Kyah]

[⚔️Deliciously]

“They’re done. Enjoy your meal.”

“Thank you. I’ll pay in cash.”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

“Here, take it.”

After forcing the cash into the shop owner who didn’t want to accept it, the struggle finally ended.

“Phew, phew─ Sister, here.”

I blew on the hot skewer and handed it to my sister, who opened her mouth.

“Hoo! Hooo!”

“Is it hot?”

“Very!”

Even as she blew on it, she ate it well.

Seeing my sister eating, Baekseol came down from my shoulder as if it was her turn.

I tore off a bit of the grilled green onion and gave it to Baekseol, who also ate it happily.

“It’s delicious!”

“Eat a lot.”

“Yes!”

Snap!

As I bit off the long skewer, the meat and green onion appeared again.

“This isn’t food, it’s violence!”

“Oops, you scared me.”

A woman with a sign hanging around her neck suddenly approached.

She suddenly yells out loudly.

“What is it?”

“It’s not food, it’s violence!”

“Violence? This is just grilled chicken, though.”

“Ugh, it’s not food…”

“What the hell is this kid talking about?”

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️Why did it have to be our crazy girlㅠㅠ]

[⚔️Is she an environmental activist?]

As I stare blankly at the woman spouting nonsense, the shop owner next to me lets out a sigh.

“Ugh, they’re here again.”

“These guys?”

“Just as humans have the right to live like humans, animals also have the right to live like animals! Ugh!”

My ears are about to rot, so I cover my mouth, and she starts flailing.

“Yes, they suddenly showed up a few days ago and started causing trouble. They went into other shops too, and now it’s chaos.”

“Ugh!”

“Are they crazy? If you don’t want to eat it, just don’t. Why come to someone else’s business and cause trouble?”

I hand the phone mount to my sister, who’s blinking next to me, and she carefully takes it.

Ring-ring!

“Yes, sister. I’ve got the call.”

“Jina, it’s the market. Some weirdos are causing a scene. We need to clear them out fast.”

“Sorry, sister. I’ll take care of it right away. The boss told me to handle it without getting hurt, so I just pushed them away, but it seems they came back.”

“Make sure they don’t come back again.”

“Yes, sister!”

Click.

“Ugh!”

“Ma’am, if you want to eat violence, go to a rib place.”

“Ugh!!”

When I let go of her hand, she finally steps back with a red face.

“It’s not food!!”

“Ugh.”

She starts ranting again, not even tired.

The shop owner next to me shakes his head and forces a bitter smile.

“Boss, I’ll clear them out for you. You’ve had a lot of trouble.”

“Haha, you have a good day too, miss.”

“Sister, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

My sister seems like she’s seeing this for the first time.

Still dazed, she keeps glancing back as we walk.

“Sister, stop worrying and let’s eat this. Ah—”

“Ah—”

She must’ve been scared by that person’s outburst. Every time we take a step, she clings to my arm and burrows into my side.

Emotions are like poison. When you openly express emotions like that, the other person can’t help but get affected.

“Haha, is it good?”

“Hehe.”

I meet my sister’s eyes and smile, and she finally smiles back.

She’s like a house cat that’s good with people.

***

“Bye-bye.”

[⚔️BBBB]

[⚔️BB]

[⚔️Room Master, roasted chestnuts]

“Good night. My babies, have a good night.”

Knock knock.

As the broadcast ends, a knocking sound is heard.

I go outside and see a large figure casting a shadow outside the iron gate.

Creak—!

The iron gate makes an unpleasant sound as it opens, revealing a familiar face.

“What’s wrong with your face?”

“Haha.”

Man-wook, who came late at night, laughs weakly.

He must’ve waited a long time to greet me, coming after the broadcast ended, but he looks completely drained.

“Sister, you’ve been through a lot on the deserted island.”

“Is that important right now? What’s wrong with your face?”

“I suddenly stopped taking my medication, so I’m feeling a bit weak.”

“Did you completely cut it off?”

“Yep.”

“Let’s see.”

I reached out to Man-wook, and he lowered his face. As I touched his cheek, I could feel his rough skin.

“Things kept coming up, so it got delayed. Sorry, I’ll get the medicine for you right away.”

“Yes, sister.”

He smiles weakly, as if it’s more difficult than expected.

Seeing my always lively friend like this, it seems like he’s really struggling.

“If it’s too hard, just take it easy. It’s too much to handle all of a sudden.”

“It’s okay.”

He doesn’t look okay at all.

“Come in first. You haven’t eaten, right? I’ll prepare something for you.”

“I don’t have an appetite.”

“Then I’ll make something soft like steamed eggs. Eat at least a little.”

“Thank you.”

***

“Phew— Baekseol, I’m heading out.”

“Okay!”

As I patted her head, Baekseol, who had been rubbing her face against my fingers, suddenly poked at the air.

At the same time, the world flipped upside down.

To stop the dizziness, I opened my eyes, and I was back inside the familiar wooden house.

“Lily?”

Lily, who should have been right in front of me, was nowhere to be seen.

“What the…”

The desk I had newly placed in Lily’s room and the chair she used to happily swing her legs on were still there.

As I got closer, sunlight seeped through the nearby window, shining on the notebook on the desk.

Next to it was the candy jar I had given her.

Inside the glass jar, neatly decorated with a ribbon, only one piece of candy remained.

“The last piece is for someone special, and since you gave it to me, I’ll give it to Lily.”

“Okay! Thank you, sister.”

The image of Lily, happily holding the candy I gave her, flashed through my mind.

The notebook, slightly faded from the sunlight, still had traces of Lily.

It was the notebook I gave her.

It was the crayons I gave her.

Why has time passed like this…?
