[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 220

*Bang!*

I spin around and deliver a kick to the guy holding the camera, and it shatters into pieces, debris raining down.

*Kya!*

*Pya!*

*LOLOLOL*

The guy, looking shocked, rummages through his pocket and pulls out a mobile phone.

They say that even when someone drags them away while occupying the road, they quietly crawl back to their spot. Seems like a silent protest without a single word.

Seeing them act all noble makes me want to puke.

*Crunch!*

I crush the phone and throw it to the ground, and his eyes go wide.

“What can you even do?”

*LMAOOOO*

*The room master is crazy strong lol*

*The room master definitely learned martial arts, this is insane*

“Friends, let’s take this outside.”

*Clank!*

“Ahhh!”

“Ouch!”

I grab the chains binding the environmental activists like dried fish and yank hard, causing the seated ones to topple over.

I really want to smash their heads one by one, but remembering Grandpa’s slightly colder voice telling me not to cause trouble, I can’t. It’s such a frustrating reality.

“Uncle staff, can you help me drag these guys out?”

“Huh? Uh. Should we?”

I smile and ask the staff for help, and they all rush over to grab the chains.

“Alright, one, two, three!”

“Ahhh!”

Pulling the chains in sync, the eco-terrorists start getting dragged out.

“Let’s just dump them outside.”

*Clank clank!*

The sound of chains clashing echoes as they’re dragged out.

“Ahhh!!”

As they pass the threshold, it sounds like they’re singing in unison.

*Crash!*

“Phew.”

The uncle staff members dust off their hands, looking proud, as if they just finished a big task.

It’s like they just threw out some old moving trash.

“Autumn, I’ve already reported it, so we can leave the rest to the police.”

“Yep. I don’t want to make a big deal out of it either.”

“….You?”

“What do you mean by that?”

The gathered uncle staff members exchange glances and quickly head back inside the building.

Seeing every single one of them go in, I guess they’re leaving the cleanup to me.

Deep down, the staff must’ve been boiling with anger too.

*Click, click.*

“Sigh— why do you live so exhaustingly?”

“…..”

“Right?”

“Yeah!”

I put my hand in my pocket and feel something fluffy.

I scratch Baekseol’s chin, and she licks my finger.

“Phew—”

*Tick.*

The cigarette ash I flicked falls in front of the guys tied up with chains, glaring at me.

“Ugh, if you’re gonna throw a tantrum, do it at home alone. Annoying jerks.”

I lower the output as much as possible.

Originally, I use illusions along with hypnosis, but based on experience, if the output is too strong, they’ll strangle themselves before I can stop them.

I have to keep lowering it to make it usable on humans.

*Illusion* *Auditory Hallucination* *Fear* *Anxiety*

*Thwack!*

**〈Mental Breakdown〉**

“Ughhh…”

“What, what’s going on? Team, what’s wrong!”

Maybe it’s the strong camaraderie, but when a teammate starts drooling while staring at the ground, he finally speaks up.

“Baekseol, let’s go in.”

“I’m hungry!”

Baekseol pokes her head out of the pocket. When I pat her head, her ears perk up.

*Ding!*

“Great!”

“Eat a lot.”

“Okay!”

“Kyaaaah!!”

“Team! What on earth is wrong with you!”

As I turn my back, a scream comes from behind.

I sneak a glance, and he’s throwing punches at his teammate.

“Performance is solid.”

Finally, he frantically tries to untie the chain around his waist.

I hope they can reach a peaceful agreement before the police arrive.

“Let’s go.”

“It’s delicious!”

Leaving them behind, I head inside and feel the atmosphere has lightened significantly.

“Ga-eul, everything okay?”

Uncle Gwak Jin’s face shows anxiety, as if he’s worried I might have caused trouble.

“Yeah, I didn’t touch anything. But suddenly, they started fighting among themselves. I didn’t stop them.”

“Good job.”

“Thanks. By the way, have you finished touring the museum?”

“Finished a while ago. It was so beautiful.”

I think I got too caught up in Grandpa’s stories and lost track of time.

Even though it was the last night of Mr. Low Tour, which was meaningful in its own way, I couldn’t join, and that’s a big regret.

“Then let me introduce you to Grandpa.”

“Oh, nice. I’ve only heard about Ga-eul’s grandpa.”

“Grandpa!”

I approach Grandpa, who’s standing quietly behind the crowd, and link arms with him. He slightly frowns.

I guess he didn’t expect so many people.

I was also surprised at first when I saw how many staff members were mobilized for just a few people filming.

“Grandpa, it’ll be over soon.”

“Alright.”

As I link arms with Grandpa and approach the team, they suddenly look flustered.

“This is my grandpa, Dr. Arthur Wellington, the top authority in astrophysics.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ga-eul’s grandpa.”

“Hehe.”

[????]

[Hehe?]

[Is that also a dying message?]

[So cute lol]

[Do suspects usually write dying messages?]

[It’s ghostwritten.]

“Uh… Ga-eul?”

“Yeah.”

“Uh, your grandpa is American? Woo-hyuk and Nana can’t speak English, what do we do?”

I wondered why he was panicking, but it seems that’s the reason.

“Ah, bro, step aside. Who doesn’t know English these days?”

“Uh, uh…”

Uncle Woo-hyuk pats Uncle Gwak Jin’s shoulder and confidently steps forward.

“Oh my. Hello hello. Let me introduce. Uh? My self. Is. Uh… what’s it called. My name is Woo-hyuk Seol.”

The staff behind him seem embarrassed, bowing their heads. The interpreter from the filming team steps forward, covering her face with her palm, and takes a backstep.

Sure, here’s the translation:

—

Indeed, confidence is key in English.

[I’m so embarrassed lololol]

[Elementary school cramming English lololol]

[Do kids these days even do that? It’s like a national school or something.]

“Seriously, I’m so embarrassed I want to stick my nose in a bowl of water. What even is ‘coo,’ you human?”

“There’s a perfectly good translator, what am I even doing?”

Seeing them bicker like this, it’s clear they’re soulmates.

“Grandfather, this person works as a movie actor.”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Oh Gwang-jin, a movie actor. I’m always indebted to Ga-eul.”

Like a true actor, he picks up on my subtle gestures.

“This person retired from singing and is now in the entertainment business.”

“Oh, hello, I’m Seol Woo-hyuk, running a business.”

“Nice to meet both of you.”

Watching them communicate through expressions rather than words, it feels like they could survive even if dropped in the middle of nowhere.

Especially Uncle Woo-hyuk, his mouth is twitching so much it looks like he’s about to get a cramp.

“Grandfather, I’ll be going now.”

“Alright. Thanks for visiting. Come back to see the stars again sometime.”

“Yes!”

Grandfather smiles warmly and pats my head.

“Baekseol, come visit again too.”

“Yes!”

Baekseol stretches her front legs towards Grandfather. After exchanging finger gestures, Grandfather gently strokes Baekseol’s forehead.

Even when I first met Baekseol, they were always together. It seems he still likes her a lot.

“Uncles, let’s head to the lodging.”

“Sure. But isn’t it been a while since you visited Grandfather? It’s okay to spend the night.”

“I can see Grandfather anytime. I came here to broadcast, so I need to wrap things up.”

Since he had some alcohol, he probably won’t suddenly get sick like Grandfather Herman.

Feeling less worried, I feel a bit more at ease.

“Should we have a drink before bed?”

“Haha, sounds good!”

“What should we make for snacks?”

As we walk to the lodging at Flagstaff, the uncles get more excited than usual discussing snack ideas.

“Something crispy.”

“I’m craving something hearty.”

“How about frying a whole chicken and making a spicy mussel stew?”

[Wow, you really know your food]

[For real, you’re a foodie lololol]

Both uncles give me a thumbs-up at the same time.

“I’m already hungry.”

“My stomach is throwing a tantrum for food.”

“I can make both dishes quickly.”

“Hahaha. The essential travel item isn’t something else, it’s Ga-eul.”

“Right. When traveling, you gotta bring Ga-eul along.”

“I’m just a guest, so for the next trip, you two uncles should go together.”

The uncles, who were excited about the delicious food, suddenly look gloomy.

I can’t help but laugh at their expressions.

“I don’t want to leave already.”

“Ah, hyung. The viewers are watching.”

“Director Kang, you don’t want to leave either, right? Be honest.”

“Ah, please, hyung.”

[LOLOLOLOLOL]

[They seem to have great chemistry]

[They’ve always been best friends]

—

As I walked with energy, the accommodation was already in sight.

“Did Baekseol have fun too?”

“Excited!”

Baekseol, who was clinging to me, started stomping her feet.

Seeing her gaze fixed on the sky, it seemed she was completely absorbed in the stargazing we did earlier.

“Excited?”

“Love it!”

I think I should aim to split Orion’s head before winter comes.

“Uncles, I’ll wrap up my trip here today.”

“Aren’t you coming back together?”

“I think I need to stop by North Carolina.”

“Why there?”

“My grandfather is in Charlotte, so I need to stop by and say hello.”

Uncle Woo-hyuk made a surprised face.

“Grandfather is there too?”

“Yep. I’ve caused a lot of trouble, so I need to go.”

The two uncles exchanged glances and shrugged their shoulders. Even though they probably had a lot of questions, they chose not to ask, showing their considerate nature.

“Since we came together, let’s go together.”

“It’s quite far, isn’t it? And I’ll just say hello and head back.”

“No problem.”

“Hmm. Then I’ll buy the plane tickets.”

“Don’t worry about it. We have plenty of money. Let’s go and enjoy some good food.”

“Alright. Let’s fill our stomachs well.”

It was a short 2-night, 3-day trip, but the more I saw, the more I realized how humane my uncles were.

***

“I’ll just say hello and come back. Enjoy your sightseeing.”

“Alright. But why are you dressed so formally? You look so different.”

“Right.”

The two uncles looked at me and nodded.

“There are many important people at grandfather’s place, so I need to dress formally. I’ll be back soon.”

“Have a safe trip. I hope you don’t get scolded.”

“Ah, no way.”

***

“Grandfather!”

“······.”

─Sizzle.

“Huh?”

“Hmm!”

“Hah! I didn’t go down!”
