[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 223

─Chik, chik.

“Whew─”

From early morning, the sun sends down its scorching heat.

In the morning, there was a refreshing breeze, but in the blink of an eye, it alternates between hot and cold as if it never happened.

“Whew─”

While smoking a cigarette, a white fluffy ball approaches from afar, wobbling step by step.

“Baekseol, did you sleep well?”

“Yes.”

As Baekseol gets closer, I open my pocket, and she jumps in, settling down and curling up.

“The room has the AC on, so it’s cool. Why did you come out? Go back and sleep more.”

“Yes.”

Seeing how she froze everything around her during the academy exam, it’s clear she inherited her abilities from her mother, but her constitution seems to be a mix of both parents.

She runs around well even in hot places like a deserted island, and she digs through the snow like a puppy seeing snow for the first time, so it doesn’t seem strange.

“Pposiraegi, shall we eat?”

“Food!”

Ding!

When I bring a flower to the pocket, it disappears in a flash.

“Eat a lot.”

“Yes!”

Indeed, food is the best medicine.

“After eating, shall we go play later?”

“Yes!”

“How about a house with a yard? It’s convenient and nice to play there, right?”

“Nice!”

Roaming around here and there makes me feel like I’m living twice the life of others.

But since I’m living twice as happily, I think Par would be twice as happy too.

“Whew─ Ah, it’s hot.”

While smoking, I notice that the cool air from the AC is escaping through the door Baekseol opened.

The little one jumps up and opens the door skillfully.

If we go to the tent, I’ll probably have to fit in a pet door for Baekseol first.

There’s a mountain of things to do.

“Right?”

“Yes!”

Baekseol pokes her head out of the pocket, probably done eating.

Tick.

After shaking off the cigarette and standing up, I suddenly wonder what would happen if I opened a space here and headed to the tent.

Since time is frozen, the angel inside might be paused.

But since it’s certain that we’ll return to Earth, it seems better to move through the training ground.

“Baekseol, let’s go shopping first.”

“Yes!”

“From the tteokbokki Haetnimu requested to all sorts of things, we’ll buy a lot.”

“Nice!”

<Lady Han Ga-eul starts broadcasting>

[⚔️Room Master Hi Hi]

[⚔️Ssyaattaaa On!!]

[⚔️Baekha]

“Welcome, guys.”

Today too, energetic viewers flood in.

[⚔️What, went shopping?]

“Yes. Just some shopping, and also buying some necessary things.”

[⚔️How much did you sweep up already lol]

[⚔️Feast every day?]

It’s natural for viewers who spend time differently to have questions.

Helplessly, I bow my head and lift the mount, and Baekseol, who was on my head, is broadcasted.

“She ate it all.”

“Yes!”

[⚔️Lolololol]

[⚔️Cute lol]

With the viewers…

As I walk down the street chatting, merchants greet me everywhere I go.

“Shop Owner, please give me the whole box like last time.”

“Again this time?”

“Yep. Just send it to the same address as before.”

The vegetable shop owner’s face blooms with a wide smile.

This time, there’s a bottle of sesame oil sitting proudly on the stall, brought over from the house across the street.

“Shop Owner, where did you say the mill does a good job? I want to buy some rice cakes and chili paste.”

“Over there, that one does well.”

The vegetable shop owner points to an old-looking mill sitting quietly in the direction.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

The vegetable shop owner finishes packing the ordered vegetables into a box with a bright smile.

“Come to think of it, Ariel said she wanted to eat a hamburger too.”

[⚔️That Ariel you mentioned before?]

“Yep.”

[*Ding!*]

[Ariel Land has sponsored 10,000 won]

[Please add it to Ariel’s hamburger fund]

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]

[⚔️Still haven’t changed your nickname, huh? LOL]

“Thanks, I’ll definitely add it.”

Meanwhile, the vegetable shop owner seems to have finished packing and gives a nod.

“Thank you, I’ll come again.”

“Yes, I’ll send it out by today. Take care.”

The storage area, cleared just a day ago, seems like it’s going to fill up again.

Still, every time I fill up the space securely, a part of my heart feels at ease.

“So busy, so busy.”

As I head to my next destination, someone approaches and bows their head.

“Hello, ma’am.”

Turns out, it’s clearly someone from Man-wook’s family.

Despite the scorching sun, they’re dressed in a dark suit.

“Aren’t you hot in this weather?”

“It’s fine, ma’am.”

[⚔️What’s that? Show us too!!!]

[⚔️Who is it?]

[⚔️Bleeeeh!!]

“Alright. Are you going to do some business?”

“I’m on my way home after finishing business.”

“You’ve been working hard.”

Unlike friends who roam during the day, this one seems to handle night business.

They bought a building in the bar district and opened a place, and it seems business is already booming.

“I parked over there. Let me take you.”

“Huh? No, it’s fine.”

“Understood. Then I’ll be on my way.”

“Okay. Good job. Sweet dreams.”

They bow their head again and walk towards the parking lot.

“Should I buy a car too? I can’t keep taking taxis forever.”

[⚔️You bought a truck last time]

[⚔️Where’s the truck?]

“That’s for something else, so I parked it far away.”

“Ma’am, are you going to buy a car?”

Hearing me mutter, the friend who was leaving turns back and speaks.

“Yeah. If I have a car, I can use it for a long time. Thinking of buying a used one.”

“Understood.”

Man-wook’s subordinate, who gave a random answer, rummages through the bag he’s carrying and pulls out something strange.

“Ma’am, if you’re buying a car, you need to wear this.”

“What’s this?”

Unfolding the item, it’s an arm sleeve.

“It’s a tattoo sleeve. You need it when buying a used car.”

“It’s a necessity.”

“Oh… really? Has the world changed that much?”

[⚔️LOL, that’s hilarious]

[⚔️A necessity, LOL]

“It works well when driving too.”

I wondered if he was wearing arm sleeves, but upon closer inspection, they looked like real tattoos.

“I bought these for the newbies, but they said they wouldn’t boost their pride, so they’re getting Munewari tattoos instead.”

“Oh, okay. Tell them to make it painless. And I don’t think I’ll need this. Thanks for thinking of me.”

“Understood. By the way, would it be okay if I tagged along?”

“That would be really helpful.”

Buying a car is a whole different ball game from driving, so having Man-wook’s subordinate, who seems to know a lot about used cars, would be reassuring.

“Then I’ll just make a quick call and be right back.”

“Sure.”

Man-wook’s subordinate took out his phone and walked to the back.

“Hey guys, what’s Munewari?”

[⚔️It’s not an octopus, it’s Munewari, a type of irezumi (tattoo) LOL]

[⚔️Thought it was some new seafood LOL]

“Oh, really? I thought it was the name of a new takoyaki product.”

[⚔️Almost made my mouth water]

[⚔️But it’s still tasty, right?]

“I’m hungry!”

“Do we have a black hole in Pposiraegi’s stomach?”

Even though we just ate, the delicious smells from the market made me complain about being hungry.

Ding!

“Great!”

“Come down and eat comfortably.”

“Okay!”

Baekseol, who was handed a flower, slid down onto my shoulder.

Indeed, meals should be eaten at the table.

Very Confucian rabbit-like, well-mannered.

[⚔️How does she understand?]

[⚔️It’s amazing every time I see it LOL]

[⚔️It’s also amazing that she doesn’t run away outside and sticks to the room master]

“Ahh!”

When I bit Baekseol’s ear, she froze with her eyes wide open.

“I ate it!”

“Did Baekseol eat her ear?”

“Yes!”

“Baekseol, eat a lot too.”

“Yes!”

[⚔️LOLOLOL]

[⚔️What kind of conversation is this LOL]

While playing around with Baekseol, Man-wook’s subordinate approached.

“Miss. I called some car experts, is that okay?”

“I should be the one thanking you.”

“There are a lot of scams with used cars, so you need to be careful.”

“Ah, what kind of world do we live in now? Surely not.”

[⚔️There really are a lot]

[⚔️Be careful, Room Master]

Seeing the viewers agree, it seems there are shady aspects to the used car market.

─Click, click.

“Whew─ got it, I’ll be careful. And with the experts accompanying us, it should be fine, right?”

“Just trust me.”

Man-wook’s subordinate, with a confident face, puffed out his chest and raised his phone.

“Miss, what kind are you looking for?”

“Hmm. Just an SUV would be spacious and nice, right?”

After hearing me, Man-wook’s subordinate fiddled with his phone and handed it over.

“How about this one?”

“Why is it so cheap?”

The phone displayed a price of 9.2 million won, with the original price listed as 37 million won.

“Even for a used car…”

“Does it make sense that the price is a quarter of the original cost? It’s not a flooded car, is it?”

“Well, I’d have to check, but since there’s no accident history, it probably isn’t.”

“Huh? Really? Then let’s just go with that.”

“Got it.”

[⚔️Kyah, flex!]

[⚔️Dang, the vibe of a big corporation.]

[⚔️920? That’s suspicious as hell, is this for real?]

[⚔️Seems like bait.]

As Man-wook’s subordinate and I were talking, a swarm of dark figures started rushing in from afar.

“What the heck, why are there so many of them?”

“I only called in the experts.”

“What kind of experts?”

Probably not fashion experts. Even though they’re our guys, they look way too intimidating.

The market folks and I are used to it, but if these guys start roaming around, the cops would come running in no time.

***

“Hello, Shop Owner.”

“Oh, welcome!”

As I entered the used car office, a dealer-looking guy rushed out barefoot, greeting me with a friendly smile like I was some VIP.

“I came to see the 9.2 million won SUV.”

“Ah… that car. Sorry, but that car still has a lien on it, so you’d need to take over the lien. Maybe I can show you a better option…”

Before the used car dealer could finish, self-proclaimed used car experts swarmed into the office.

“That, that car…”

“Yep.”

***

“Ah… um…”

“Yes, feel free to speak.”

***

“See, that’s why they’re the experts. So reliable.”

[⚔️Feels like they just made up a car that didn’t exist.]

[⚔️LOLOLOL]

“Gosure, Gosure. Please make it smooth.”

As I sprinkled sesame seeds left from catching a golem on the car bumper, it finally felt like the car purchase was complete.

“Baekseol, remember this?”

“Yes!”

“Here, you try it too.”

I handed Baekseol a pinch of sesame seeds, and she moved her two fluffy paws to grab it, sprinkling it enthusiastically.

“Goshii.”
