[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 243

The system sound is blaring painfully in my ears.

Ding!

Ding!

..

..

At the same time, my vision turns pitch black.

What am I supposed to make of this?

There are many words to describe it.

Greed, possessiveness, obsession.

Or maybe, love.

If not that, then affection.

Ding!

〈Black Taoist painting in progress…〉

〈Scheduled…〉

As my vision blurs moment by moment, I start to see nothing.

“I-I dunno!”

A deep, manly voice resonates.

A sudden, random remark breaks the tension.

It’s a word you’d only hear from internet streamers or people in front of a camera, not something you’d use in everyday life.

“Man-wook.”

“Haha… You asked why I got hurt. I don’t remember well.”

Looking back, Man-wook is awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

I thought only clear and calm water could be called a mirror-like surface, but apparently not.

A big guy proves that you can sleep well even in a noisy karaoke room.

“Were you worried about me?”

As I raise my hand, Man-wook lowers his head.

His short hair brushes through my fingers, giving a rough sensation.

Even when I stroke it, no wound is visible. The torn, bleeding wound has already healed.

“The black-haired lady was pretty too.”

“Black hair? Me?”

Man-wook slowly nods.

Even when I lift the hair falling over my shoulder, the dark ink-like color remains.

“Though your eyes were a bit scary.”

Man-wook rummages through his pocket and pulls out a cigarette pack. He takes out a cigarette and puts it in my mouth.

─Click, click.

The cigarette burns, filling the tightly sealed room with smoke.

“I…!”

─Crash!

“Ugh!”

I grab the liquor bottle in my hand and throw it, hitting the guy who collapses on the spot.

“Ah, sister.”

“Get rid of that bastard before I cut off his limbs.”

“I’ll get rid of him right away.”

“Whew— Alright.”

As Man-wook drags the bleeding guy out, the noisy room quiets down.

Sitting on the luxurious sofa in the room, I finally notice the mess on the table.

From the fruit punch scattered like a bomb hit to the dried snacks rolling around. It’s a complete disaster.

“Whew—”

Sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, my chest feels uneasy.

“Baekseol, it smells like smoke.”

“Yeah!”

Baekseol, who was in my clothes, climbs up to my shoulder and licks my cheek.

This little friend must be sensitive to my emotions.

She always does this when I’m in a bad mood.

“Thanks. Let’s go in now.”

“Yeah!”

After putting Baekseol in my pocket and playing with her while smoking, the closed door suddenly opens.

“Huh? Where’s the troublemaker, and why are you here, sister?”

“I came to see the kids and took a break.”

“Why rest here? Should I bring some snacks and drinks?”

“No, thanks.”

As I decline, Man-wook’s subordinate bows his head and leaves the room.

“Since when was I ever clean?”

Crunch!

Chewing on a peanut rolling on the table, a savory flavor fills my mouth.

“Right?”

Creak!

***

The traces of Man-wook’s subordinates’ hard work are visible everywhere.

Not just them, but the merchants also joined forces.

I’m here and there, fixing things up.

“Visitors can rest over there. Don’t wander around too much under the scorching sun, and if it gets too hot, head to the cafe for a cool beverage.”

[It’s a festival!!]

[But why are you broadcasting this?]

[No idea.]

“I borrowed an ID from my uncle so more people can see it. My kids are coming too.”

[Already on the way lol]

[Does it even make sense to tell us now?]

[I lied about tripping on my way to work and took a day off lol]

[Lol, I’m coming right now]

[Look at the room master’s big hands lol]

[Room master!!!!!!!! You should’ve told us earlier!!!!!!!!]

[Your fault for not watching the morning stream lol]

From people happy about the small festival to those sad they can’t join, it’s a mixed bag.

[Can I see the room master if I go?]

“Of course. Not only will you see them, but my kids will also get hugs.”

[I’m setting the office on fire!!]

[I’m going!!!]

[Baekseol, uncle’s coming!!!!]

[Lolololol]

The ID I used for travel broadcasts seems to be a hit.

Thanks to my regular viewers switching over, the chat is about to explode.

[The aunties are coming too~~@@]

“Come safely.”

[Can we bring the kids?]

“Oh, of course! There’s nothing inappropriate, so the kids will have fun too.”

[You look inappropriate though]

“Kick them out.”

[Your existence is inappropriate]

“Kick them out too.”

[How does she catch all that with her eyes lol]

[Reaction speed is legendary lol]

Thanks to that, the chat managers I planted are working their butts off.

Where there are crowds, there are always trolls.

Even though dozens are getting kicked out every second, more people are joining the stream.

“Kids, spread the word to other streamers too.”

[Got it]

[Departing from Jeonseo-gu!]

“Hey, shop owner! Why are you throwing trash?”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah, you. Pick it up unless you want to get beaten.”

“W-what did you say?”

“Pick it up before I shove it down your throat, you jerk.”

[Ahhh!! Our crazy girl is having another fit!!!!]

At the same time, someone blocks my way.

Not just one or two.

“Room master, hi.”

“Who’s this?”

“Wow, it’s Baekseol!”

“Yep!”

Suddenly, a crowd surrounds me, and it gets noisy in an instant.

Without looking, I know they’re my viewers.

“Room master, can I say hi to Baekseol?”

“You’ll have to ask Baekseol.”

“Okay!”

Baekseol wags her front paw.

“Aw, so cute.”

[So jealous T_T]

[I’m the only one without Baekseol]

“Room master looks amazing in person. So pretty, seriously.”

“Like it?”

“Yeah. Love it.”

[Lololol]

[Pretty?]

[Is she pretty?]

As the surroundings get noisy, Baekseol seems to get excited too, wiggling her butt.

“Come here.”

I spread my arms toward a viewer, and they hesitantly approach.

“My kid, you worked hard to come here. Have fun.”

“Uh, uh, uh, uh…”

As I hug the viewer and pat their back, they start trembling and can’t speak.

[I’m so jealous, my insides are twisting]

[Kill that kid!!!!]

After parting with the viewer, the others are just staring at me.

“My kid…”

“Hey, come here one by one.”

Since one person started it, the rest approached without hesitation.

“Thanks for coming.”

“Room Master, you’re so small…”

“Shut up. You’re the big one.”

[Maybe it’s just the screen ratio making you look small lol]

[Breath!!!]

After hugging each viewer one by one, they started chatting among themselves.

“Where can I buy the family-sized egg potato the Room Master ate?”

“If you go down that road, you’ll find it.”

“I’m going right now.”

“You can’t finish that alone.”

“I’m a potato ghost.”

All the viewers had smiles on their faces.

Big or small, festivals are always fun, I guess.

“Have fun.”

The viewers who had gathered waved at me as they left.

“Your smile is OP.”

“Super pretty.”

“Ultra pretty.”

As I waved back at them, I felt another presence.

“Kyaa!”

“Wow.”

A high-pitched, welcoming vibe was clearly felt.

“Wow, Eonni!”

“Who’s this?”

“Waaah, Eonni!”

[Wait, are there really female fans?]

[LOL look at the Room Master’s face]

Unlike the male fans, she came in with open arms for a hug.

“Ah, yeah. Thanks for coming.”

“Eonni, your head is so small! What perfume do you use? It smells so good.”

The female fan hugging my waist sniffed around.

“I don’t use perfume. It’s just my natural scent.”

“Wow. Your voice is so nice too. Eonni, can I take a photo with you?”

“Sure.”

She chattered so much it was overwhelming.

She seemed to have a completely different personality from the usually stoic male fans.

“Are you a college student?”

“Yeah! Freshman!”

“Why aren’t you in class and here instead?”

“Whatever. Eonni told us about the festival today, so here I am.”

Maybe she thought I was scolding her. The hands around my waist tightened.

[LOL true tho]

[Look at her confidence lol]

I also only realized the joy of studying later in life.

I’m in no position to lecture others.

“Thanks for coming. Don’t get hurt and have fun.”

“Okay!”

“Idols are coming too, so check them out.”

“Who?”

Since they watch my broadcast, they probably aren’t talking about rookie idols.

“Who do you want to see?”

“I want to see Lim Yoo-joon!”

The young national singer Lim Yoo-joon.

He’s so famous, you hear his name everywhere.

Thanks to Bom Baram, he’s also left with a bit of a bad impression.

“Be realistic. Are you his fan?”

“I like Eonni more!”

“That’s not what I meant, but thanks.”

“Hehe.”

The female fan hugging my waist giggled.

She didn’t seem to want to let go.

“Everyone, do you see the stage being set up over there? If any of you singers want to perform, come on up.”

[So, are singers coming?]

[LOL this is hilarious]

[They’re really winging it lol]

“If they want to come, they will. There’s plenty of space.”

[For real tho lol take a shot]

Ding dong!

As soon as I finished speaking, a call came in like it was waiting.

Click.

“Yes, Uncle Woo-hyuk.”

“Autumn!! Why did you make such a big deal out of this?!”

“You told me to do as I please.”

“Huh? Well, yeah, but… I just sent you to blow some wind up their nose, but isn’t this too much?”

“Uncle just passed it off like it was nothing.”

– Ah, no…

Just by his voice, you can picture Uncle Woo-hyuk’s flustered face.

“If there are any celebrities free, send them over. There’s plenty of space here.”

– My son’s schedule is packed solid for the next three months, so I don’t know if it’ll work.

“Save those good connections for something useful. If it doesn’t work out, just find me one person to host the event. I’ll cover the costs.”

– Forget it. It’s not like I’m so broke I’d squeeze money out of my niece. I’ll try to get someone for you.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

– Alright. Don’t overdo it.

“Got it.”

– Ga-eul!

The moment I take the phone away from my ear to end the call, I hear Uncle Woo-hyuk urgently calling out.

“Yes, what is it?”

– Do you happen to know what ‘Ayukdae’ is?

“Ayukdae? I think I’ve heard of it somewhere. Is it like an idol physical conversation or something?”

– …Oh boy. Let’s talk about it later.

“Okay.”

*Click.*

[Physical conversation lololol is she crazy lololol]

[This is lawsuit material]

[Room Master, are you going to Ayukdae?]

[Look at Ga-eul’s connections lololol]

“What’s that? Let’s save the small talk for later. I’m busy right now.”

[But if too many famous people come, won’t Serenade get overshadowed?]

“Do you really think a big-name singer would show up to a local singing contest that doesn’t even pay?”

[True lol]
