[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 76

Namir, towering tall and dressed in a suit that looked expensive, exuded an undeniable aura of wealth to anyone who saw him.

“Chulbong, welcome.”

[Chulbong is happy to see you.]

“Room Master, nice to meet you.”

Baekseol also wagged her front paws in greeting.

“Oh! Baekseol, nice to meet you too. Seeing you in person makes you even cuter.”

[So jealous.]

[For real, I’m jealous. I want to meet Baekseol in person too.]

I thought it would be awkward seeing them in person for the first time, but their refreshing personality made me feel no distance at all.

“Room Master, you’re all wet. I told you to stop getting into accidents.”

“I couldn’t help it, I had to save someone. Right, guys?”

[LMAO, Room Master, get life insurance already.]

[10 out of 10.]

Curious about the viewers’ reactions, he quickly pulled out his phone, watched the broadcast, and started laughing.

“You flew all the way here because of me, and now you’re treating me like a troublemaker?”

“You said you picked up a gold bar on the way here. Isn’t that thanks to me?”

“Should I grab your head like a gold bar too?”

“My deepest apologies.”

As we exchanged greetings, Herman approached, puffing out smoke like a whale spouting water.

“Did you two know each other?”

Namir, who had been acting lively like a friend, visibly stiffened at Herman’s words.

“My apologies for the late greeting, Mr. Melville.”

“How is your work going?”

“Yes, thanks to you.”

It didn’t seem like my place to interrupt their conversation, so I took a step back.

“Young lady.”

“Grandfather Kamar.”

“I only have a towel right now, but I’ll dry your hair at least.”

“Okay, thank you.”

At Grandfather Kamar’s words, I sat down on a chair, and he pulled out a towel from his pocket and started wiping away the dripping water.

“You shouldn’t do dangerous things next time.”

“I’ll think about it.”

Grandfather Kamar’s hands, drying my hair, became slightly rougher.

“Yes…”

“But it was cool.”

“Hehe, right?”

Feeling Grandfather’s gentle touch, I glanced at Namir, who was still frozen stiff.

“Guys, look at him, he’s so nervous.”

[Is he talking to Herman?]

[We can’t see! Show us!!]

[LOL, isn’t it obvious he’d be nervous talking to Herman?]

“Grandfather, why is he so stiff?”

“He helped a lot in rebuilding a fallen family. He’s very strict when it comes to work matters.”

“Ah, I see.”

[The way he talks, it’s definitely the real Herman.]

[LMAO.]

[Mom! Our Room Master just met Herman for real!]

“Haha. Does your mother believe you?”

[She’s asking if you’re stressed from studying.]

“But why are you watching my broadcast? This guy’s got a fiery temper.”

[LOL, what can I do, it’s so entertaining.]

[For real, LOL.]

[Today’s broadcast is so good.]

As I chatted with the viewers, it seemed the conversation had ended, and Namir and Herman approached.

“Grandfather, you can stop drying my hair now.”

“You’ll catch a cold. And it’s better to rinse off the saltwater quickly. Your pretty hair might get damaged.”

“Come on, it’s not going to get damaged from just this.”

“Miss Ga-eul,

His words are right. It looks like it’s better to wash up quickly.”

Herman, who had approached, showed concern.

“And thank you once again. Thanks to you, my friend is safe.”

“No problem, it’s nothing.”

[King nothing]

[Info) The room master was seriously intense]

[LOLOLOLOLOL]

Herman, who had been laughing loudly at my words, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to me.

“It’s a small gift for my friend.”

“Friend? Me?”

“Of course.”

In a daze, I received a box from Herman that looked like a ring case, and when I opened it, it was a badge with a shiny whale embossed on it.

The peculiar thing was that, unlike its nickname “Blue Whale,” it was a beautiful whale sculpture with a subtle red hue.

“Oh… Ruby? It’s pretty, thank you, Herman. But it looks expensive, is it okay?”

“It’s nothing.”

[Breaking News) ???: King nothing activated]

[What did you get??]

“Guys, look at this, I got a gift.”

[Oh, a red gem whale, so pretty]

[Is it fake?]

“Kids. Do you think Herman would give a fake?”

[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

[Who’s fake? I really want to smack someone]

When I showed the badge to the viewers and looked at it closely, the whale protruding from the badge was surrounded by golden patterns crafted like waves, harmonizing with the whale.

“Herman, it’s so pretty. I’ll treasure it.”

“Haha, I’d appreciate it if you used it rather than treasured it.”

“It’s this pretty?”

I was so captivated by the badge that I didn’t notice, but now I see that even the small box was the epitome of luxury.

“Hmm, I’ll try it on later when I change clothes. My clothes are wet now, it might get ruined.”

“Then shall we smoke a cigarette?”

Herman, who was smiling, already had smoke coming out of his mouth.

“That smoker. He’s quick. What should we play for the funeral march? Huh?”

“Art, don’t you have anything? You saved a friend, didn’t you?”

As if immune to Arthur’s sarcasm, he didn’t even pretend to listen.

“Do you think I’m a money whale? What does an old man who only does research have?”

“Isn’t the meaning enough?”

“Do you think someone who knows that would give something like that? Tsk tsk.”

“You and I are people who will soon have no use for money, aren’t we?”

“Bullshit.”

Arthur’s eyes were on Baekseol, but his mouth was spitting out sarcasm.

“I didn’t expect to receive anything, you didn’t have to give it.”

“Here.”

Despite my words, Arthur took off the badge on his chest and handed it to me, just like when I held Baekseol earlier, placing the badge in my open hand.

“One is a badge I received when I won the Nobel Prize, and the other is from our astronomy research institute.”

“Huh?”

Even if the research institute made sense, the Nobel Prize badge seemed too much no matter how I thought about it.

“Arthur, no matter what, this seems too much. It’s too excessive.”

“Compared to what that money whale gave, it’s nothing. It’s not a medal, just take it.”

There were two badges rolling in my palm. One was a badge with Alfred Nobel written on it, and the other was a badge with a beautifully embedded star.

“Thank you, Arthur. I’ll treasure it.”

“Alright, come see the stars next time.”

“Okay.”

The sudden gift bomb made me feel…

Baekseol was feeling a mix of emotions, but she was happy.

“Hey guys, look at this. I got another gift.”

[Is there a Nobel Prize for being crazy?]

[Wow, my chest feels so grand lol]

[So pretty~]

“Wanna die?”

[Arthur Wellington must’ve been the real deal ㄷㄷ]

After showing off the gift to the viewers for a while, Herman and Namir were talking about work, and Arthur couldn’t take his eyes off Baekseol as he fed her.

“I should chat with you guys.”

[Are we the only ones?]

“Yeah, that’s right. Thanks, guys.”

[Yaralㄴ]

[Yaral, fully loaded]

“These guys are grateful, but they’re still nuts.”

[LOLOLOLOL]

[Don’t thank me, I’m freaking out]

They chatted with the viewers for a while and smoked the cigars Herman gave them.

“Ga-eul!!”

“Huh?”

Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Isabel running from afar, waving her hand.

“Isabel, if you trip while running, you’ll get hurt.”

“Ga-eul, thank you!!”

As Isabel ran over and hugged her, Ga-eul patted her back, and Isabel started crying buckets.

“It’s okay, Isabel.”

“Yeah, thanks to Ga-eul, Dad’s fine. He’s just taking a break.”

“That’s a relief.”

“Yeah, it’s all thanks to you.”

After crying for a while, Isabel finally stopped and pulled away, her eyes all puffy.

“Ga-eul, I prepared clothes for you. Let’s go!”

“Okay, let’s go.”

She waved to the people sitting at the table and went downstairs with Isabel.

“Shower here.”

The room Isabel led her into had facilities that rivaled a hotel room.

“Isabel, you got wet because of me too.”

“I’m fine, just my clothes got wet. Go shower.”

“Okay, I’ll shower and come back.”

Even if she were about to die, she needed a hot shower, so she used the hot water generously. When she came out, she saw the clothes Isabel had prepared on the bed.

“Isabel?”

It seemed like Isabel had just left the clothes and gone, as there was no sign of her in the room.

“Guys, I’m back. I’ll change and be right there. Wait a bit.”

[ㅇ_ㅋ]

[Let’s sleep well among ourselves]

[ㅗㅜㅑ]

[Oh wow, kick that guy out]

[Hang him!! The room master is our public property]

The clothes Isabel prepared weren’t much different from what she’d worn before. Neat and fresh-looking outfits.

“Floppy? What did they call it?”

[That’s a disk lol]

[Probably means preppy look]

“Are these guys talking trash about me? Wanna die?”

[Whoa ㄷㄷ]

[The room master’s possessed lol]

As she gathered the clothes on the bed and started putting them on, the top felt heavier than expected.

“What’s this?”

[What is it? Show us!!]

[Let’s see together!!]

Knowing the viewers would go crazy if she kept talking to herself, she turned the phone toward her.

[Wow, our room master is so pretty]

[For real lol, so pretty]

“No, not that, look at this.”

The top Isabel had prepared was covered in badges.

The badge Herman gave her was in a box, so it seemed Isabel hadn’t opened it, but there were two badges from Arthur and one she’d never seen before.

One was running.

“What kind of bird is this? It’s super cute.”

The newly attached badge was in the shape of a small, adorable crow, and even without looking, it seemed incredibly luxurious, probably attached by Isabel.

[Looks like a crow.]

[A baby crow?]

[Isn’t that the Trang crow?]

“Trang crow? What’s that?”

[It’s a type of crow, but there’s a really small one lol.]

[It’s the Trang symbol.]

“Oh, is that the one? It’s cute.”

[Badge collector lol.]

“Right, people here are obsessed with badges, it’s all about badges.”

Then, as if Isabel heard my voice, she came into the room.

“That’s like an unspoken rule of the party here. You don’t have to do it, though.”

“Bringing your shop’s badge?”

“Pfft. More like a corporation, but yeah.”

“Oh… Is it like a power level scanner?”

[The expression is so real lol.]

“Seems like a pretty materialistic party.”

“True.”

Despite her bitter expression, Isabel was quickly decorating me with flowers.

“Lastly, this too.”

The pretty ribbon that Isabel had tied before we came.

“Oh right, Isabel, do this too.”

I handed her the jewel box I had received earlier.

“Where did you get this?”

“Herman gave it to me.”

“Herman? You mean Herman Melville?”

“Yes, Herman.”

At my answer, Isabel’s eyes widened as if they would tear open.

“Herman gave you this?”

“I didn’t steal it.”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

Seemingly at a loss for words, Isabel carefully took out the badge and attached it to my clothes.

“Guys, how does it look? Pretty?”

[Damn, it’s so pretty.]

[As always, just wearing Rokati makes you look pretty.]

[My broth is leaking…]

“Kids, stop flattering.”

[Room Master, are your eyes hurt? Can’t you see how pretty it is?]

Looking in the mirror, among all the badges, the whale Herman gave me, glowing ominously with a red light, stood out the most.

“Hoho, my power level is 530,000. But don’t worry, I have no intention of fighting you at full power.”

[Shiver, Frieza appears.]

[Clink!]

[Ariel Land donated 10,000 won.]

[Ugh, my Scouter must be broken!!]

[Domwangchyeo.]

“What do you mean by power level?”

[Disturbing species appears.]

“I am the apex.”

[Room Master, you’re too disgusting, stop…]
