[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 77

After finishing the preparations and coming up to the deck, Herman was still puffing out cigarette smoke.

“Herman, Arthur, Namir. I’m here.”

The two who were busy chatting and Arthur reacted.

“Looking good.”

“Pfft. Right?”

In contrast, Arthur had a grumpy expression.

“Where’s Baekseol?”

“Huh?”

At Arthur’s words, I naturally touched the back of my head and felt a warm, fluffy cotton ball.

“Baekseol, when did you hang on?”

“Yeah.”

“What do you mean ‘yeah,’ Pposiraegi?”

“Yeah.”

After leaving Baekseol and jumping into the sea, I realized I had made a big mistake when I saw her little ears twitching at my every small movement.

“From now on, let’s always go together.”

“Let’s go together.”

“Yeah, I’m sorry.”

It seemed like she found comfort in my words, as I felt her rolling around on top of my head as usual.

“Arthur, I’ll stay with Baekseol for a bit. She seems anxious since I left her alone earlier.”

“Alright, what can you do?”

Arthur’s distant voice made me feel unnecessarily sorry.

Ignoring Arthur’s piercing gaze at Baekseol, I sat at the table and looked up to see the sky gradually darkening as the sun set.

“It seems like it’s getting dark soon.”

[Late-night chicken while watching a stream]

[It’s still early here]

“Really?”

Holding and petting Baekseol, who was on my head, and looking at the viewers’ chats, I once again realized I was abroad.

“Young lady, shall I prepare a cigarette for you?”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

After a few snips from Grandfather Kamar, a neatly trimmed cigar appeared before my eyes.

“Whew─.”

[Room master, cut down on the cigars, I’ll be leaving soon]

[For real, why do you smoke so much?]

“You guys don’t get it. If I don’t smoke, the peach flavor in my mouth vibrates.”

[Wow]

[Room master, can’t you leave soon?ㅠㅠ]

“Shut up, should I go first or you guys? There’s no order in leaving.”

[LOL, is this your second life?]

[The lively room master is so funny LOL]

As I chatted with the viewers, Herman seemed interested and gave me a look.

“Miss Ga-eul, what are you talking about?”

“Ah, Herman. They keep telling me to stop smoking. They’re badmouthing me to leave soon.”

“Hahaha. They’re not wrong though.”

“Such great advice from great people. I’ll bury you with Herman, so leave Baekseol to me.”

[Arthur’s badmouthing is killing me LOL]

[The scholars seem eccentric LOL]

Amid the noisy chatter at the table, Grandfather Kamar filled my wine glass and took care of me.

“It’s Château Latour. I prepared it because I thought it would suit your taste.”

“Wow, thank you. This is delicious.”

“Room master, does this suit your taste?”

“Yeah, it’s delicious? This is the first wine I’ve tried, so I don’t know about others, but this is really good.”

“Really? I’ll pack a few bottles for you when you go home.”

“Oh, thank you so much.”

[That’s almost out of stock, one bottle is…]

“Over ten million won, right? Wow, the chairman’s class.”

We were enjoying our own modest party, leaving behind a party that showed no signs of starting.

“Ga-eul!”

Isabel’s lively voice called out.

“Isabel, you’re here?”

“Yeah! I’m here.”

She had gone to get ready and visit her dad, but she showed up quicker than expected.

“Dad’s here too.”

A man walking beside Isabel, who you could describe as either sturdy or rugged.

When he was drowning, I was too out of it to notice, but now I could see his impressive muscular build, something I’d only seen online before.

“Denis, are you feeling okay?”

“There’s no order in this, but I almost went before Herman, who’s always puffing away on cigarettes.”

“Hehe, if Art had fallen in, he’d have floated around because of his big mouth.”

“Darn it, it’s Arthur, not Art.”

The three of them started growling at each other as soon as they saw each other.

Judging by the atmosphere, they seemed like best friends.

“Dad, what are you doing!”

“Oh, yeah. Sorry, Belle.”

Seeing that big guy give in to his daughter made me think they must have a harmonious family.

“I’m late with my thanks, but thank you for saving me. Denis Valoia.”

Isabel’s father extended a hand as big as a pot lid.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Han Ga-eul. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Valoia.”

“Hehe, just call me Denis.”

“Okay, Denis.”

When we shook hands, I felt his rough, rugged hand. A hand that showed the years he’d lived. Despite his large, well-trained physique, he seemed quite youthful, judging by how he talked with Herman and Arthur.

“If I had a bit more time, I would’ve swum out on my own.”

“It’s not me who’d be floating around, it’s you.”

With Denis joining, the table became even livelier.

“When I went to save you earlier, you were screaming for help.”

“Haha. Your screams were heard all the way here. Don’t you think you were too late?”

[Good one, Denis lol]

[lolololololol]

“Denis, it seems you’ve been growing wheat but not your conscience.”

“Ahem.”

Even he seemed to realize how ridiculous his words were, as he just rubbed his chin awkwardly.

“Looks like I’m the last one here.”

Denis, noticing my badge, pulled out a box similar to the one Herman had given me and handed it over.

“What’s this?”

“A gift for my little friend.”

“Hmm, I think my conscience is bigger.”

“Ahem, just open it.”

I could see why Herman and Arthur kept teasing Denis.

His reactions were just too good.

—Click.

Opening the box, as expected, there was a badge inside.

A golden wheat field was crafted, with a white sun embedded in the sky, which looked like it was made of diamonds.

“Wow….”

While the badge Herman gave me was both eerie and majestic, the one from Denis was pure extravagance.

“It’s so beautiful, Denis. I’ll treasure it.”

Isabel quickly took the badge and pinned it on my clothes.

“You’re both crazy.”

“Says the one who handed over the Nobel Prize badge.”

“It’s not like that.”

“Is it the same as that one?”

“Hehe, it’s the difference in value. It could be money, or it could be honor.”

He slightly lifted his clothes, revealing a chest full of shiny badges.

A golden wheat field under the blazing sun. Small crows flying over the wheat field. Even a whale swimming around a star floating above.

Things that shouldn’t go together were blending together in a dreamlike way.

“Kids, I got another gift. Isn’t it pretty?”

[Damn, that’s so pretty!]

[Now that I think about it, Isabel’s dad was Denis lol]

[Another badge]

“Denis? What does Denis do?”

“That guy makes bread.”

Grumbling but always listening to me, Arthur answered.

“Bread?”

“Yeah, don’t you have boulangeries in your country?”

“Ah! Yes, there are so many bakeries it’s hard to find a place without one.”

“Right, that’s the bakery he runs.”

“Wow…”

I thought he was just a muscular grandpa screaming for help, but Denis turned out to be an amazing person too.

[Ding!]

[Lady Han Ga-eul, the sauna towel thief, sponsored 5,000 won]

[Denis Valoia, the owner of the golden wheat field]

[What’s with this boat table party combo lol]

[Insane lol]

Stars, whales, crows, and wheat fields.

People who shouldn’t fit together were gathered in one place.

“Thank you, everyone.”

“Hehe, that’s right. If you show the badge at the boulangerie, I’ll give you mountains of bread. It’s the iron rule of the boulangerie, so eat to your heart’s content without worrying about money. I’ll make sure the shop owners don’t take a loss.”

“Yes, thank you, Denis.”

“That guy sells bread to save the country, so don’t worry and eat as much as you want.”

“Art, thanks for the explanation, but you should have some bread too.”

“Because of you, I’m dreaming about bread now!”

Meanwhile, the boat table party couldn’t resist bickering again.

Amid the noisy table, one particularly quiet person stood out.

“Chulbong.”

“Huh?”

“Give it.”

“Give what…?”

[Give it]

[Give it]

[Lol give it]

“Everyone’s giving, why aren’t you?”

Namir stared at my confidently outstretched palm, seemingly lost in thought.

“Young lady, here you go.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“Wait!”

“What do you mean, wait?”

Grandfather Kamar tried to intercept the box, but I quickly opened it to find two badges inside.

Two badges, one with a warm sun and the other with a serene moon engraved.

“One is the badge of the young master’s family, and the other is from our family.”

“Thank you, grandfather. Isabel, can you put this on for me?”

“Sure, I’ll put it on.”

[Isn’t that just robbery lol]

[Why is the chairman acting like that?]

[No idea]

With the sun and moon badges Isabel neatly attached, it finally felt complete.

“If I put this on my combat suit at home, will I be the strongest?”

[For real lol]

[Our room master’s power is breaking through the sky]

[Insane, insane]

While laughing and chatting with the viewers…

Namir, acting all serious like he’s carrying the weight of the world alone.

“Chairman, what’s wrong? If it’s too expensive, I can return it.”

“Huh? No, it’s not that.”

─Click, click.

Pulling out a cigarette, lighting it, and blowing smoke while staring at Namir, he finally made up his mind and spoke quietly.

“Room Master, as you can see, everyone here has a significant impact on society with every step they take.”

“I can guess without looking, so what?”

“In contrast, the once-fallen Shams family is only now getting back on its feet thanks to Herman and the butler.”

“And?”

“Huh? No, this is an invisible class society. I called you here to travel comfortably, but once you wear our family badge, it’s different.”

Namir dragging the story on and on.

“I thought it was something serious. So, you’re saying people will ignore me if I wear the badge you gave me?”

“Well… yeah.”

“You drive around in an expensive car, yet you’re so timid.”

“That’s because it’s not much…”

[Let’s gut this guy, maybe we’ll find some gold or something?]

[LOL, I feel like giving him a chestnut.]

[We live in a completely different world, LOL.]

“Kid. You were feeling down over something so trivial.”

Namir quietly listening to me.

“Who’s ignoring you? You have money.”

I pointed to the whale badge glowing red towards Namir.

“I have food.”

The badge of the golden wheat field.

“Clothes to wear.”

The crow badge.

“Vast knowledge too.”

The Nobel badge.

“Lacking?”

“…..”

“Warm sunshine.”

The sun badge.

“Quiet moonlight.”

The moon badge.

“Hey, even a broke girl like me is running around happily, so what are you lacking?”

“Broke? Uh… no… right?”

At my words, Namir’s gaze briefly brushed over my badge.

“Damn, if anyone ignores you, call me. I’ll call my connections, okay? I’m ready to bust some heads.”

“I’m older than you…”

[The strongest being on earth has appeared.]

“I─have descended.”

[Barf]

[Barf]

“Ugh.”

“Wanna die?”

As darkness fully enveloped the deck, the sound of emptiness echoed, and the decorative lights began to turn on one by one.
