[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 73

The look in her eyes is the same as that of Lin Eonni, who once held up her panties and delivered a fierce lecture.

“Are we of the same species?”

“Ga-eul, are you listening to me?”

Even while lost in a brief moment of thought, she blocks my path, worried I might leave her behind.

“Baekseol is learning something weird, you know.”

“My friend feels the same way as I do.”

Baekseol, perched on Isabel’s head, spreads her short forelegs and mimics Isabel.

“Why are you blocking our Pposiraegi?”

“Don’t go.”

“Where do you think I’m going?”

Isabel caused a commotion earlier but seemed to have calmed down over time, while Baekseol, who joined in the chaos, was just a bonus.

“Whew, I’m exhausted from all the chaos since morning.”

“Same here.”

“It’s fun.”

“You find it fun without even knowing what it is.”

Half out of my mind due to Baekseol’s antics, I adjusted the phone mount on the table to make it more visible.

“Guys, I’m going to change my clothes. Play with Baekseol while I’m gone.”

[LOL, the room master has changed.]

[Room lineage: Room Master -> Baekseol -> Chandelier -> Baekseol]

[Baekseol has a higher stake LOL]

[Welcome, Teacher Baek]

“Baekseol, there are a lot of uncles here, okay? Play with them like before, got it?”

“Long-eared nobles.”

“That’s right, long-eared nobles. Elves.”

[Don’t teach her weird stuff, geez]

[Justice! Power! Education! System! Justice! Power! Education! System!]

[Evil Chairman Han, step down!!]

I caught Baekseol as she jumped into my arms and placed her on the table.

“Ga-eul, is it done?”

“Yes, it’s done.”

Pulled by Isabel’s urgent hands, I became a doll being dressed after a long time.

“If clothes are too tight on someone with a big chest, it looks excessive, and if they’re too loose, it looks bulky. The middle ground is important.”

“Just give me anything.”

“Ga-eul?”

Isabel’s mouth hung wide open, overreacting to every word I said, just like the viewers.

“How can you say something so cruel? I’m Isabel. I can’t tolerate you dressing carelessly in front of me.”

“It’s… a North Korean-style joke.”

“What? Absolutely not. Don’t say that. How can such a country exist?”

After mentally apologizing to the North Korean pig, I became Isabel’s fashion doll.

“Let’s go with something that matches Ga-eul’s image. You’re insanely fresh and sweet, right? Since the cruise party isn’t too formal, how about something neat and light, like Ivy League style?”

“My image? Hmm, I look like a mess, dull and hopeless…”

“What are you talking about? When I first saw you, I thought you were a living doll. Quit smoking; if Ga-eul gets hurt, it’s a loss for humanity.”

Freshness froze to death. Hearing such things while abroad made me cringe so hard I couldn’t bear it.

Meanwhile, Isabel kept bringing clothes to my body.

“Ivy League is too heavy. It completely crushes Ga-eul’s cuteness.”

“Cu, cuteness…?”

The terrible sound was so painful to my ears.

“This is a no-go. Should I try dressing a bit more preppy?”

“What’s Ivy League and what’s preppy?”

“Both started with school uniforms. If Ivy League is neat, preppy adds a casual touch to it. Try this on.”

As if there’s no time to answer questions, she gives a brief explanation and hands over the clothes.

I hurriedly put on the clothes Isabel handed me and looked at the large mirror in the room. It wasn’t a school uniform, but it definitely had that school uniform vibe.

A white shirt with a collar and a pleated skirt. Even to my untrained eye, it looked luxurious and expensive.

“Isabel? This outfit is pretty, but is it appropriate for a party to wear something that looks like a school uniform?”

“It’s the best.”

Isabel, giving a thumbs up, had a face that was either excited or moved.

“Ga-eul, you’re really runway…”

“I’m not doing it.”

Isabel, full of regret, gestures for me to come closer.

“Clothes are all about the details.”

Isabel pulls out a string from her bag, loops it around my neck, and starts tying a ribbon under the collar.

The ribbon had a gold pattern in the middle, making it look luxurious despite being just a string.

“Without details, it’s too plain. If it’s too strong, it’s hard to keep looking at. That’s why a small but impactful detail is important.”

Isabel’s hands, tying the ribbon while explaining softly, felt nice.

“All done.”

I walked up to the mirror and turned around. The outfit was luxurious yet cute and fresh at the same time.

After staring at the mirror for a while, I felt someone’s gaze and looked at Isabel, who was nodding with satisfaction.

“Do you like it?”

“Yes, I really like it.”

“Good, now for the hair… Hmm, no need to fix it. Then makeup… You don’t need that either. What did you eat to look like this?”

In the end, I just enjoyed Isabel’s brushing and stood up.

“Let’s go now. We’re running late.”

Heading to where I left my phone earlier, I saw Baekseol playing on a ball.

Rolling around.

[Clink clink]

[The room master is so cute]

[Jingle!]

[Wasabi Soybean Powder sponsored 10,000 won]

[Reaction queen lololol]

[Whoa~ Is this the S-class cool beauty ultra-rabbit of the city?]

“My friend can do that too?”

The chat was so ridiculous that Isabel’s voice chiming in from the side didn’t even register properly.

“These kids really need to take their meds.”

[What? That’s the room master’s voice!]

[For real lol almost forgot]

I walked over to the table and picked up Baekseol, who was showing off.

[???? Who’s this?]

[Always wearing baggy clothes, but now you’re insane]

[OMG let’s send Ga-eul to the National Assembly!]

[Sorry Baekseol, the room master is too strong]

[The room master is so pretty and the clothes are so pretty too]

“Kids, is your noona pretty?”

[Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes]

Yes, yes!!!

Damn, you look so freaking pretty!!!

You should’ve worn clothes like this sooner. Even when the vice commander gave you pretty clothes, you just wore them carelessly.

The reaction was more explosive than expected. I only wore the clothes my sister picked for me occasionally during late-night outings, and after that, I just stuck to comfortable outfits.

“Ga-eul, I swear on my name, you’re the star of today’s party.”

The flood of compliments from all directions made me feel oddly strange.

“Guys, this is Trang’s outfit. Can you handle it?”

“Honestly, the room master looks pretty even in just a Locati outfit lol.”

“FR tho lol.”

“My babies are just full of flattery. Anyway, who’s coming to the party with this pretty noona?”

“Let’s go!!!!!!”

“Let’s hurry up so we can enjoy the party while eating chicken lololol.”

*Knock, knock.*

Suddenly, the compliments poured in. Just as I was raising my voice to hide my embarrassment, a perfectly timed knock was heard.

“Young lady, it’s the butler.”

“Yes, I’m coming!”

When I opened the door, I saw a mustache that looked sharper than usual.

“Grandfather Kamar, you look handsome today.”

“Hoho, you’re the best, young lady.”

“Thank you, please come in.”

“No, we should leave now to make it on time.”

Seeing Grandfather Kamar pull out a pocket watch, like something out of a movie, made it all feel quite romantic.

“And young lady, the gold exchange is complete. Here.”

“What’s this?”

What Grandfather handed me was a Korean-style bankbook and a card that looked very familiar.

“It’s the money from the gold bars you entrusted to us. It’s clean money, so feel free to use it.”

I opened the bankbook, saw the endless zeros, and immediately closed it.

“Um… Grandfather, what do you mean by clean money?”

“Literally, clean money.”

As Grandfather Kamar smiled warmly, I opened the bankbook again, and it felt… suspiciously dark.

“Is there no tax? The number at the front is 16?”

“We’ve taken care of it cleanly, so no need to worry.”

He keeps saying it’s clean. I wanted to ask how it’s clean, but the thought of a gun neatly tucked inside his tidy outfit made the question disappear.

Still, having someone who keeps calling me pretty, even if it’s contradictory, made me feel oddly secure.

“Perfect timing. We’re late, so let’s hurry.”

Amidst my scattered thoughts, I heard a voice and turned around to see Isabel coming out with my mount and Baekseol.

“Damn, this is chaotic!!”

“Isabel’s just swinging the phone around lololol.”

“The car is ready.”

At the mention of being late, we hurried downstairs and got into the car driven by Grandfather Kamar.

“Isabel, what are you doing?”

“On SNS.”

Whatever was keeping her so busy, the conversation just ended there.

Baekseol, having played excitedly since morning, fell asleep in my arms. As I petted her and looked out the window, a large ship soon came into view.

“We’ve arrived.”

“Thank you for driving us.”

As I opened the car door and got out, I saw…

It’s a huge ship. No, it was so huge that it even gave a sense of terror to the people standing below.

“No way, this is insane.”

Just thinking about something this big moving gave me a different feeling.

I thought it would be a small ship like the ones in movies since it was a light-hearted party, but this was a luxury cruise ship.

“We should hurry and board since the departure time is near.”

As I went up the stairs connected to the low door below the ship, I saw an endlessly long hallway.

“Ga-eul, there’s nothing missing here. From restaurants and casinos to deck pools, it’s all here.”

“Has Isabel been here often?”

“It opens regularly.”

Grandfather Kamar, who was walking ahead, said he was going up to the deck, so I thought we’d take the stairs, but there was an elevator on the ship.

[Damn, there’s an elevator on the ship.]

[You have to take off your shoes to ride it.]

─Ding!

As the elevator doors opened with a loud arrival sound, the scene that unfolded made me wonder if this was paradise.

From the lavish decorations to the countless lights that would probably turn on at night. And the huge pool and sunbeds in the middle of the deck. I couldn’t close my mouth.

[What kind of deck is as big as a school playground?]

[This is crazy, when would I ever get to see a place like this?]

“Young lady, the main party starts in the evening. Until then, you’re free to do as you please.”

“Oh! Got it. Where are you going, Grandfather?”

“I’m sorry to say that the young master couldn’t come to greet you due to some work. I think I need to go and help with the work.”

“Ah, Red was already on board. Take care, Grandfather.”

“Yes, young lady. If anything happens, please use the security bracelet immediately.”

“Yep.”

After sending off Grandfather, who kept trying to inform me about everything, I finally felt free.

“Guys, shall we go on an adventure?”

[Hell yeah]

[Let’s go lololol]

[Let’s get romantic]

“What about Isabel?”

“I’m fine. Go have fun.”

Isabel quickly settled at a table by the railing with a view of the sea, sipping wine brought by a waiter and fiddling with her phone.

“Guys, let’s go!!”

[Let’s gooo]

[I’m so excited lololol]

[This is insane, there’s even a basketball hoop over there]

[Show us a dunk, CEO Han!!]
