[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 267

“First, prioritize your studies. You said you enjoy going to school, right?”

“Is that it?”

“Yeah. If you do that, I’ll give you full rights to BitTube. The profit split will be around 80-20.”

“Huh? No, where does an editor take a percentage of the profit? If it were performance-based, maybe. But 20% is way too much.”

“I get 20, and you get 80.”

She points at me, then at Haemalgeum, whose eyes widen in shock.

[⚔️Isn’t that too much?]

[⚔️?????]

[⚔️Wow, Haemalgeum really hit the jackpot.]

[⚔️This is insane.]

“Um… Eonni.”

“Yeah.”

“I think you might not fully grasp the current situation, but if someone like Han Ga-eul opens a BitTube channel, it’s going to be massive.”

“That’s good, right?”

“No…”

Haemalgeum, who’s always smiling, stomps her feet in frustration.

“Don’t you realize how big of an opportunity it is to be the founding editor of a BitTube channel under your name? It could change your life. And where in the world does an editor take 80% of the profit?”

“Isn’t ‘founding editor’ a bit too grand? I meant for you to upload stuff when you have time between studies. The profit can be your pocket money.”

Haemalgeum, who’s been chattering away while clinging to my waist, opens her mouth wide in disbelief.

“Eonni, it’s not that small-scale.”

“20% is passive income, so I’m taking that much. If you take 80% and the pie gets bigger, you can hire more editors or something.”

“So you’re telling me to build Han Ga-eul’s company?”

“What company? Just treat it like a part-time job.”

Haemalgeum seems speechless and keeps stomping her feet.

It’s good that she’s smart, but her dreams might be a bit too ambitious.

“If you’re that grateful, offer me your left butt cheek!”

“Kyaa!”

I grab Haemalgeum’s butt cheek with my left hand, and she lets out a loud noise.

“The soft butt cheek isn’t mine, it’s this one.”

“Ugh…”

[⚔️ㅗㅜㅑ]

[⚔️Baekseol found a cat.]

[⚔️ㅗㅜㅑ]

As I keep squeezing her butt, she snuggles in deeper.

“Eonni…”

“What.”

“What about the right side…?”

“…If you do a good job.”

“Really?”

*Bonk!*

“Ouch!”

I lightly tap Haemalgeum’s forehead with a finger, and she overreacts and falls back.

“I’ll upload the recorded broadcast to the cloud that day, so take your time and think of it as studying while you edit.”

“Got it!”

“It’s okay if you can’t do it.”

“Yeah!”

I pat Haemalgeum’s head, and she clings to my waist again.

She’s a friend with a lot to learn from, starting with her personality.

─Meow!

While we’re talking, our attention shifts.

We see Baekseol and Danpung walking towards us with an orange cat.

“Baekseol, Danpung, you did great.”

“Yeah!”

“Ppit!”

I spread my arms towards the kids walking over, and they run over with their short legs and hug me.

“Meow!”

The orange cat finally arrives and rubs its cheek and body against my ankle.

Maybe it’s because of the fruity scent coming from my body, as Yu Bit-na said, that animals like me.

“Smell!”

“Got it, got it.”

Baekseol, in my arms, squirms as she sees the cat.

“Haemalgeum, can you take the cat to its owner?”

“Got it!”

The house cat, having experienced the rough streets, quietly settles into Haemalgeum’s arms.

[⚔️Wow, this is crazy. So cool.]

[⚔️Is Baekseol smarter than me?]

[⚔️LOL]

[⚔️Is this even possible?]

“Eonni, thanks for helping!”

“Nyaha.”

Haemalgeum waves her hand like a fan while holding the cat and walks away.

“Let’s go shopping now.”

[⚔️Gulp gulp]

[*Ding!*]

[Upsoyongdanmuji donated 10,000 won.]

[Room Master: I’m dressed like a chicken shop owner.]

“Oh, really? What’s good there?”

[⚔️K’s ultimate tech is already burned out]

[⚔️LOLOLOLOLOL]

As I start walking to do some shopping, the viewers cutely start chattering away.

[Ding!]

[Business Pickle has sponsored 10,000 won]

[I’ve researched for a long time, fried chicken is the best]

“Simple is the best. If the basics are tasty, everything else tastes good too. Send me one too.”

[Ding!]

[Business Pickle has sponsored 500,000 won]

[Is this okay? Overwhelming gratitude]

[⚔️Everyone, if you join my squad, the room master barely does any ads and takes good care of you]

[⚔️Kya]

“Who are you talking to?”

[⚔️BTube hehe]

[⚔️Look at them already hyped up managing the chat LOLOLOL]

[⚔️Is this even considered managing? Haemalgeum could cover it all LOL]

[⚔️This is a 100% chat blur rate room]

As I walk and chat with the lively viewers, a delicious smell wafts by.

“Young lady! Take this with you.”

“Hello, shop owner.”

The shop owner, selling various foods, hands over a family-sized egg potato this time too.

It’s a portion even an adult man couldn’t finish.

“That’s too much.”

“Oh my, you need to eat well to grow up strong. You’re still a kid.”

As I try to refuse, the shop owner pushes the egg potato box into my arms.

“Hehe, thank you. I’ll share it with my friend.”

“Thank you? I should be thanking you. Sales have gone up so much since you started the festival.”

“Wow, that’s great. I’ll enjoy it.”

“Come back if you need more.”

I bow my head to the shop owner, who waves goodbye.

“How am I supposed to eat all this?”

[⚔️8 minutes]

[⚔️5 minutes]

[⚔️1 minute cut please]

“1 minute cut coming.”

[⚔️So nice!]

[⚔️Hey kid, watch your back at night]

[⚔️I’m really packing to move]

[⚔️Please don’t feed them please don’t feed them please don’t feed them]

As I chew on the egg potato and walk around, a viewer who I mentioned earlier comes running towards me.

“Did you come?”

“Huff… Huff… Yeah!”

They’re in such a hurry, wearing slippers and all disheveled.

“Do you like potatoes?”

“I’m a potato ghost.”

“Are all our kids potato ghosts? Here, say ah.”

The viewer, catching their breath with hands on their knees, quickly lifts their head.

“Ah ah─”

I pop a potato into their wide-open mouth, and they start chewing.

“Wow, your mouth is huge.”

“Mmm!”

They chew the potato hard but still manage to answer.

[⚔️Why only that kid! Why only that kid! Why only that kid!]

[⚔️LOL if you don’t wanna die, sleep in armor]

[⚔️Sashimi’s here]

“Young lady!”

“Yes?”

Busy feeding the viewer, I hear someone urgently calling me.

Turning towards the voice, I see the fish store owner gesturing.

“Yes, what is it?”

“I’ve salted some mackerel. Take a pack of seasoned mackerel.”

“It’s okay. I’ll buy it.”

“Oh my! My arm’s gonna fall off. Just take it.”

The fish store owner, looking like he’s about to collapse, shakes the bag vigorously.

Reluctantly, I approach, and he quickly hands me two bags.

“Mackerel is best in autumn. It’s even better grilled.”

“Wow, thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”

“Hahaha. You’re our market mascot, I should be thanking you.”

“I’m the mascot?”

“Ah, no need to say more!”

On the market’s signboard, a magpie and a gourd are prominently displayed as the market’s mascots.

I have no idea when I replaced them as the market mascot.

“Shop owner.”

“Yes, I’m coming!”

As another customer arrives, he gives me a slight nod and goes to greet them.

“Why am I the mascot?”

[⚔️LOL you’re fit to be the mascot]

[⚔️You’re always scurrying around the market, of course you’re the mascot]

“Is that so?”

Two bags in hand.

I received it.

One is definitely a mackerel, but the other is clearly different in size and feels heavier.

Curious, I opened it to find a hefty flower crab inside a white styrofoam box.

“Hey guys, look at this. It’s a flower crab.”

[⚔️Damn, that’s insane]

[⚔️Guess the fishing ban is over]

[⚔️Please make ramen with that]

“It would taste great in ramen.”

[⚔️What ramen? It’s gotta be crab stew]

It would be good steamed, but it’s also perfect for making broth.

Whether you put it in fish cake soup or stew, flower crab makes everything delicious.

Maybe it’s because of that fish-enhancing skill, but my mouth is watering.

“Pretty young lady.”

[⚔️Lol, again?]

This time, the grandmother selling vegetables at the stall gestures.

Seeing the cute drawing, it seems like Haemalgeum’s touch has already passed by.

“Yes, grandma.”

“Take some vegetables. They’re all prepped, so just blanch them at home, then mix with soy sauce and sesame oil.”

“Wow, thank you!”

These are the kind of people who have lived through the years, and they tend to be quite stubborn.

It’s obvious she won’t take money if I hand it to her, so I sneakily slip some money next to the stall, and she hands me another black bag.

“This is some chestnuts my husband picked.”

“I’ll enjoy them. Thank you, grandma!”

“Hehe, sure.”

[⚔️Why sneak the money next to the stall?]

[⚔️Because grandma obviously won’t take it]

It must be the season of autumn.

Thanks to that, our fluffy ones are getting plump.

“Danpung, it’s a chestnut. Want some?”

“Pit!”

Even though I picked the smallest one, when Danpung holds it, the chestnut looks huge.

Crunch, crunch.

“Pit!”

“Huh? You’re giving it to me?”

“Pit!”

In an instant, Danpung peels the chestnut and places it on my palm.

“Thanks. I’ll enjoy it.”

“Pit!”

When I stroke Danpung’s forehead, it wags its tail.

Tap, tap.

When Danpung puts some strength into the chestnut it peeled, it splits into four pieces.

“They say even a bean should be shared. Here, Danpung’s share.”

“Pit!”

Crunch, crunch.

I hand the split chestnut to Danpung on my shoulder, and I hear the crunching sound from its ear.

“Here, Baekseol’s share.”

“Yay!”

Since it’s split into four, two pieces are left.

“Here, you eat too.”

“Thank you.”

The viewer next to me, who was munching on a potato, quickly takes the chestnut.

[⚔️Why only give Danpung the peeled chestnut?]

[⚔️Is it the only one with a mouth?]

“Room master, I got sugar on my mouth.”

“Wipe it.”

“I don’t have hands.”

The viewer, holding a big potato box with one hand, suddenly grabs it with both hands and shakes it gently.

[⚔️Lol, stop messing around, I’ll kill you]

[⚔️Is this guy crazy?]

“Ugh. Come here.”

The viewer sticks out their sugar-covered mouth. Since it’s sugar, it easily comes off when I wipe it with my finger.

Like it or not, they’re my viewer.

“Done.”

“Thank you.”

[⚔️(°꒫°ꐦ)]

[⚔️I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you]

[⚔️Clean your neck well, I’ll come for you at night, you jerk]

The viewer, who was happily giggling, gives a sly smile in front of the streaming phone.

“Yeah, you can’t find my house, right? If you’re jealous, move here. I really moved in front of the potato shop.”

[⚔️Is this guy really crazy? Lol]

[⚔️Lolololololol]

[⚔️I’ll really kill you]

I was about to do some shopping, but thanks to the shop owners, I didn’t spend a penny and my hands are already full.

“No need to shop. Let’s go home.”

“The room master is so cute in real life. Seriously, I’m obsessed. Those who haven’t seen, hurry up.”

“Hey, you jerk. Why are you always causing division, you wanna die?”

Thud!

“Ugh!”

I lightly kick the viewer who keeps nagging next to me, and they rub their butt while giggling.

“Room master’s pants kicked by foot, for sale.”

[⚔️5]

[15]

[⚔️10]

[⚔️13]

[15, you brats!]

[⚔️20! 20! Please, 20!]

“Ah, this is dizzying.”

[Ding!]

[Red Parade has sponsored 1,000,000 won.]

[100]

“Stop it.”

[⚔️You jerk, Chairman!!!]

[⚔️Damn, look at this money flex.]

***

[⚔️The chicken place the Room Master is eating from is now the top search on the delivery app lol.]

[⚔️Wow, insane.]

[Ding!]

[Upsoyongdanmuji has sponsored 10,000 won.]

[Guys, please stop calling. We’re not a chain, just one store.]

“Well, that’s good. Then, I’ll end the broadcast here. I must have drunk too much.”

[⚔️Yeah, why did you drink so much?]

[⚔️Yeah, go rest.]

“Alright. My babies, see you tomorrow. Bye-bye.”

[⚔️Bye-bye]

[⚔️Bai bai]

<Lady Han Ga-eul has ended the broadcast>

***

Whooong-! Whooong-!

As the sun rose, squeezing sunlight through the curtains, Han Ga-eul’s phone finally rang.

Baekseol, crouching beside Han Ga-eul, twitched her ears.

Eventually, Baekseol staggered up and swung her fluffy paw at the phone.

Tap, tap, tap.

Whooong-!

The phone’s vibration, letting out its last gasp, finally died.

Baekseol knew. No matter what, her owner would never wake up like this.

“Pii?”

Perhaps due to the faint noise, Danpung, curled up by Han Ga-eul’s bedside, woke up.

“Wake her up.”

“Piiit?”

In response to Danpung’s question, Baekseol decided to demonstrate.

Pat, pat, pat.

With her short legs, Baekseol approached Han Ga-eul’s bedside and lifted her front paw to cover her owner’s nose.

“Kheugh.”

As her nose was blocked, Han Ga-eul started breathing through her mouth, making strange noises.

“Here.”

Baekseol gestured to her friend, pointing towards Han Ga-eul’s mouth.

“Piiit.”

“Yeah.”

Viewers thought Han Ga-eul was unusually diligent, but it was all thanks to the little rabbit’s morning call every day.

Baekseol, now with a new friend, could prepare an even more perfect wake-up call.

“Good.”

“Pit!”

But there was a big problem here—feeling the warm breath, Baekseol would often fall asleep before Han Ga-eul even woke up.

She was still a baby rabbit with a lot of sleep to catch up on.

***

“Kheugh—!”

Sitting up, two fluffy balls rolled off her face.

Her face felt warm.

“Why do they always sleep on my face?”

Baekseol always does it, and now Danpung has joined in.

“Bap….”

“Pii….”

Thanks to them, her eyes opened just as the sun rose.

She had set the alarm to vibrate so as not to disturb Baekseol’s sensitive ears, but she didn’t remember feeling any vibration. It seemed her body had memorized it.
