[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 224

“Baekseol, let’s go.”

“Okay!”

As Baekseol presses down on the air, the world flips upside down in succession.

Even though my body has become incomparably stronger than before, the dizziness from the world flipping is still hard to bear.

“We’re here!”

At Baekseol’s voice, I open my eyes to see the cafe yard I rented with gold.

“You worked hard.”

“Yep!”

Since the tent itself is inside a subspace, it seems there’s no need to stay here any longer.

—Ding-dong.

Opening the back door and stepping into the cafe, the owner greets us with a nod.

“Did you three have a good time?”

“Yes, thanks to you.”

Just as I’m about to return the owner’s bright smile, I feel something’s off.

“Three?”

There’s me and Baekseol.

Feeling something strange, I turn around to see an angel with golden eyes following us, shining brightly.

“Huh?”

“Autumn.”

“It’s Sunny.”

“Yes, it’s Sunny.”

I sense a strange hint of disappointment in the angel’s gaze.

“I just got here. I can’t stay in the cafe forever. I was about to go out to see our Sunny.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. I even bought all the stuff you wanted.”

“Understood.”

Only then does the faint disappointment in the golden eyes disappear.

I always thought that face, whether expressionless or blank, wouldn’t care much about such things, but it turns out this angel is more emotional than I expected.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

I give a slight nod to the cafe owner, who responds with another bright smile.

—Ding-dong.

As I push open the cafe door, the cool air greets me this time.

The world, less developed than the modern one, seems to have such clear air.

—Click, click.

“Phew—”

Lighting a cigarette and slowly walking forward, Sunny, who was following behind, grabs the hem of my clothes to stop me.

“Autumn.”

“Yeah. Let me finish this and then we’ll go in.”

“Take your time. By the way, did you get the items I ordered?”

“I bought so much the subspace is about to burst. Why did you order so much?”

The shopping list Sunny had prepared was filled with enough products to last through two moves.

Thanks to that, I instantly became a VIP at the electronics store.

───

[Player Points: 200,000P]

[Remaining Amount: 178,110,000 won]

[Remaining Amount: 89 gold 46 silver]

───

“Hmm.”

Originally, I had 1,800 gold in the subspace, and after exchanging it for 180 million won, I have 178 million won left.

When I withdrew my broadcasting earnings after a long time, I was thrilled to see over 100 million won.

But the excitement faded like Pluto as the angel spent nearly 200 million won in a single shopping spree.

Still, the perfectly matched 200,000 points after upgrading the tent make me feel good.

“I bought a decent bed for now. The bed Sunny ordered is a custom-made product, so it’ll take some time.”

“Is that so?”

“I’ve never seen a bed cost over 100 million won in my life. Where did you even order that from?”

“Sleep is a precious blessing. Therefore, the tool for it should be the best possible.”

The destination of the angel’s order was a high-end, handmade luxury bed brand.

I had to order it after checking at home, but I never dreamed I’d buy a bed fit for celebrities.

“That blessing is mostly enjoyed by our little friend at home.”

“Yep!”

Whether it understands it’s about itself or not, the response is sharp.

“Phew— Nothing happened at home while I was gone, right?”

The angel silently meets my gaze with its golden eyes.

“What? Did something happen?”

“It wasn’t there. It was just a very brief moment for me.”

“Ah, right. But how did you know that?”

“I felt it.”

Sometimes, when an angel says something, it’s hard to understand what they mean. This seems to be one of those times.

“You can feel that?”

“Manipulating light and space is an easy task for me.”

“Ah, I see.”

No wonder they treat spacetime like their own living room. I guess that’s the angel’s specialty.

“I understood what Han Ga-eul meant by ‘the inside of the inside’ last time.”

“You understood?”

When I was in the U.S., I kept hearing a buzzing sound in the air, and now the culprit is right in front of me.

“Were you trying to come to where I was?”

The angel nods obediently.

“Really? Isn’t it pretty layered?”

“It seems someone intentionally widened the gap to near infinity to freeze time. It was nearly impossible to reach Han Ga-eul’s hometown during the brief moment she returned.”

“You just said it was easy.”

“It seems like something overwhelming intervened artificially.”

“So even our angel has things they can’t do.”

The angel pouts.

“I can do it.”

If the angel says that, I suspect Mara might have been involved.

“Hoo—”

As I walk slowly while talking to the angel, I start to see what looks like a plaza.

A fountain in the center of the wide plaza is beautifully flowing with water.

“Oh.”

“Water!”

True to her rabbit nature, Baekseol, who loves showering with me, wags her front paws toward the fountain.

The origin of ice attributes is water attributes.

As expected, she’s an ice rabbit.

“It’s pretty.”

“Is it? Han Ga-eul is more beautiful.”

“Huh?”

I’ve noticed since we first met, but the angel often says things that would make others blush without any hesitation.

“Did our angel eat butter while I was away?”

“I just stated a fact.”

“Really? Then let’s make today’s menu all about butter. I bought a lot of seafood too. I’ll make butter-grilled scallops and abalone.”

“Excellent.”

I don’t know what makes it excellent, but the answer is as sharp as that rabbit’s.

“Looking for 2nd-floor party members! Multiple trial experiences! Support roles preferred! Mages preferred! Those skilled in chaotic battles preferred!”

Even as I chat with the angel, I can hear the noisy chatter of people gathered around the fountain.

Seeing that, it feels more like a fantasy than a life-or-death game.

“What’s so special about the 2nd floor?”

“The 2nd-floor trial, which leads to the 3rd floor, is essentially a stage for full-scale combat. A large number of enemies pour out, so many players who haven’t experienced chaotic battles die there.”

“Hmm, really?”

“Yes. Although the comparison might be off, the difficulty is actually lower compared to the tutorial and the 1st-floor trial.”

The tutorial mainly involved forced PvP, and the 1st floor was a test that messed with your mind, like trauma.

The angel’s comparison being off probably means it’s the first time players are using their strength against multiple monsters.

PvP, mental battles, and chaotic battles are completely different and can’t be compared.

“But if they have trial experience, doesn’t that mean survival is easier than you said, considering many die?”

“While the 2nd-floor trial involves a large number of enemies, they are slow, low-level undead, so survival is relatively easy if you set a high safety line. The problem is that most new players are intoxicated by their own power.”

“Well, they’ll die then. What can you do?”

The angel nods slowly.

In a place where heads fly off even when you’re bored, being careless is a sure way to die.

Despite the beautiful scenery, it’s a place where lives are at stake.

You must constantly remind yourself that this is a place for survival.

“Can I take on the challenge alone? I want to do it by myself.”

“Like you.”

The angel glances at me sharply and pokes my side.

“Huh?”

“I just warned you, and you’re saying that?”

“I’m not drowning in arrogance. I’m just not alone.”

The angel lets out a small sigh and shakes her head.

“Our Haetnimu, were you worried about me?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, um… I’ll be careful.”

It seems there’s no turning back in the angel’s dictionary.

If there’s no way, we’ll tear through space and always move forward.

“Always be careful. Carelessness in the tower leads directly to death.”

While listening to Haetnimu’s stern lecture, someone approaches.

“Who’s this?”

“Hello. I thought you might be a fellow countryman, so I came to say hi.”

He’s a handsome man with a warm smile that suits him well.

Handsome men always seem to have a good smile. I want to punch him.

*Smack!*

**〈Summon Followers〉**

“There’s another fellow countryman behind you, go greet them.”

“Huh?”

*Crack.*

As soon as the handsome man sees my baby’s face, he foams at the mouth and collapses.

“Phew— how rude.”

*Flick.*

As I shake off my cigarette, a tiny ember falls in front of the handsome man, whose crotch is now soaked.

I hope this tiny cigarette ember, as small as a speck of dust, can cover his shame.

“Haetnimu, let’s go.”

“Is the walk over?”

“Yeah.”

Haetnimu nods, approaches, takes my hand, and pulls out a key, stabbing it into the air.

*Click.*

Led by Haetnimu’s hand, we enter the tent, and another world unfolds before us.

“Nice.”

“Play!”

The first to greet the lonely-looking room is, of course, Baekseol.

Excited, she starts running around the spacious room, which is empty of items.

“If you bump your head again, it’ll hurt, right?”

“Excited!”

It’s time to bring out the item prepared for the rabbit with endless stamina.

“Baekseol, look at this.”

“Yeah!”

She slows down and approaches, puddle-puddle-puddle.

“Ta-da. Baekseol’s toy.”

“Ball!”

Baekseol, who has come closer, examines the item I’ve pulled out.

Anything round must be a ball, I guess.

“It’s a hamster wheel. Climb on and run.”

I tap the inside of the wheel, and Baekseol slowly climbs on.

*Whirr.*

I give the wheel a slight push to show her how it works, and she starts to pick up speed.

Brave as rabbits are, she seems to have already figured it out.

Except for the initial movement, it’s a premium silent hamster wheel—no noise.

“Excited!”

“Good, Baekseol can play with her toy.”

Shifting my gaze from Baekseol, I see the angel crouched beside me, staring blankly.

“Haetnimu, I’ll get the items out, so decorate however you want.”

“I’ve been waiting.”

Haetnimu stands up abruptly, as if she’s really been waiting.

“Before that, can you exchange some currency for me?”

“Of course. How much do you need?”

“200,000 points, all of it.”

Haetnimu tilts her head, as if wondering why.

“I want to do some upgrades.”

“Are you talking about the summon you saw outside earlier?”

“Yeah. I heard undead appear in the 2nd-floor test, so I thought I’d prepare.”

“Are you going to invest all 200,000 points?”

Instead of answering, I reached out to Ariel, and a large gold coin fell.

───

[Player Points: 0P]

[Remaining Amount: 20.17 billion won]

[Remaining Amount: 89 gold 46 silver]

───

“I can’t resist transformation and fusion. This is romance.”

“Go outside and do it.”

“Yes.”

Leaving Ariel, who was shaking her head vigorously, and stepping into the front yard, a refreshing grassy scent filled the air, lifting my spirits.

─Click, click.

“Whoo─ I’m really looking forward to this.”

I’m already excited about how cool it’s going to be.

“Come out, my baby!”

Ding!

***

“Are you going to keep disappointing your mom?”

─Grooowwl.

“What did you do to deserve talking back, huh?”

─Grrrooowwwlll.

“Do you want to die?”

The name didn’t change, but the face became more menacing, and the grade changed.

It also seemed like his vocabulary improved a bit.

“Whoo─”

He’s so tall, maybe 5 meters, that it’s hard to even look up at him.

“Mom believes in you, okay?”

“Hmm, interesting. What on earth did I create?”

Seeing my babies’ handsome faces, I suddenly came to my senses.

─Click, click.

“Whoo─ They’re still cute when you keep looking at them.”

You have to look closely to see their beauty.

I really like this story.
