[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 96

If I had messed up even a little, it could’ve turned into a disaster.

It wouldn’t have been strange if either of them had died.

As I shuddered, recalling the sharp gaze of the black-haired man, the sky darkened, and thunder roared down.

**—Kwa-rururung! Boom!**

**《Mara Papiyas bursts into laughter.》**

The guy who seemed to be the main culprit of the incident appeared right away.

“Damn it. Did you do this?”

**《Mara Papiyas sheds tears of emotion after seeing the successor who staged a kidnapping drama in a romance.》**

“Seriously, there’s no normal person around me.”

**《Mara Papiyas is left speechless after seeing a successor even more shameless than himself.》**

“What the hell is this?!”

As soon as I spat out those words, the sky returned to a cloudy night sky as if nothing had happened.

Click, click.

“Phew—.”

Even while the sky was going crazy, Baekseol, who seemed to take after her owner, was wriggling around in my arms to get comfortable.

“Pposiraegi. Did you eat a lot?”

“I’m full.”

“Good job.”

Baekseol lay on my arm, showing her belly.

As I stroked the soft Baekseol, I brought up something I had been thinking about.

“Baekseol, I’m a gamer. This is something my pride can’t accept.”

The only game I ever truly loved.

Even though I now have many loved ones like Baekseol and my viewers, the fact that I loved and cherished games hasn’t changed.

“I can’t even pass the tutorial? This doesn’t make sense.”

Feeling good from the strokes, Baekseol lazily lifted her front paw.

And then the world flipped upside down.

***

“Not stopping?”

“Waaah! Sniff, save me.”

“This guy’s about to hit the 9th circle. A grand wizard, my ass.”

The prince, whose head was wedged into my side, had patches of hair missing here and there.

“Even if you’re an academy student who doesn’t care about status, how dare you mess with the empire’s star? Are you out of your mind?”

“This guy started it first, okay? You think I’m some thug? I don’t throw the first punch recklessly, you punk.”

“….You’re insane.”

The black-haired man’s hand moved toward the sword at his waist.

“Wait!!”

“What is it?”

Feeling that the fight was about to start, I immediately called for a stop, and the black-haired man paused accordingly.

“You’re the black-haired one, so you’re probably the main character, right?”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

“That’s usually how it goes. Are you, like, the son of a duke or something?”

“You’re well-informed.”

Everything started to fall into place.

“That silver-haired guy next to you is probably your lackey or some count or marquis, right?”

“Did you do all this knowing that?”

At the black-haired man’s affirmative response, my gaze naturally turned to the blond one.

Click.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

“This is supposed to be a romance. Damn it, a threesome?!”

“Was he a mage? What’s that?”

As I pulled something out of the space, the knights in front of me quickly drew their swords.

“What’s this? It’s a one-way ticket to Hong Kong, courtesy of Grandfather Kamar.”

“This is a suspicious object I’ve never seen before. Everyone, prepare for battle. The prince’s safety is our top priority.”

“I’ll shoot gently, so it won’t hurt.”

I pointed the gun at the blond’s head and asked the question I’d been curious about.

“Hey, do you have any siblings?”

“Y-yes! I have two more besides me. So please.”

Seeing him sell out his siblings so easily, it seems this country won’t last long either.

“You’re the dumb one, one of them is probably hiding and playing the villain, and the other doesn’t care much about the throne, right?”

“That’s right. Exactly.”

“Damn, what a predictable story.”

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

As expected, I am a gamer.

<Lady Han Ga-eul starts broadcasting>

[⚔️Room Master Hi]

[Baekseol Hi]

[⚔️Boss Han, it’s too bright, take it down!!]

“Why should I take it down?”

[⚔️Need to sleep more]

“Then go sleep.”

[⚔️Need to turn off the broadcast to sleep]

[LOL]

“These guys are chaotic from the morning.”

The morning greetings with the viewers bring chaos and energy at the same time.

[So, what are we doing today?]

[⚔️Boss Han, did you get some good stuff?]

“Ah, of course. Don’t you trust me?”

[⚔️LOL, of course I trust you]

When I returned the zoomed-in screen to its original state, the filming set that was hidden by my body was broadcasted.

“Ta-da. This is the Three Games headquarters.”

[Why did you go there?]

[⚔️I got a contract there before]

[Wow, Room Master is on another level LOL]

“And next to me is the general director of Three Games who allowed today’s filming. Applause.”

“Hello, viewers. I am Park Seong-woo, the general director of TG.”

[⚔️Tsk tsk tsk tsk]

[OMG, seeing him here is crazy LOL]

[Tsk tsk tsk]

[⚔️Was today the filming day?]

“Yes. I got a call last night that the preparations were done, so I came right away.”

[LOL, look at that efficiency]

After greeting the viewers, I placed my phone aside and immediately got ready for filming.

“Ga-eul. Please change into this.”

“Okay.”

Far more people were involved in the filming than I had thought.

Hair, makeup, clothes.

Lighting team, sound team, filming team.

Props management team.

A large number of people started moving busily.

“Ga-eul! You’re too round.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“You look like a baby sheep throwing a tantrum. This is a battlefield. Give off a sharper vibe.”

[⚔️LOL baby sheep]

[⚔️Our Room Master is cute though LOL]

“I’ll go for a snapshot. Don’t mind the camera, just act naturally.”

“Okay!”

After that, the director’s instructions poured out like water.

The efforts and gazes of many people were focused on me.

“Good. Lastly, we’ll do a photo shoot. This will be featured on the homepage banner and the game’s loading screen.”

“Okay! I’ll do my best.”

“Great. Hahaha, this is so good. With a model like this, it’s just a matter of clicking and it’s a photoshoot.”

I just did as I was told, but the director’s praise made me feel proud.

“Ga-eul. You’ll take photos in this outfit.”

When I put on the outfit the stylist brought and looked in the mirror, it was a surprisingly plain military uniform.

“Director. I’ve changed.”

“Oh my. This one suits you well too.”

“Thank you. But I have my own military uniform.”

“Huh?”

“The outfit feels a bit bland. What if we add some name tags and patches from my own uniform?”

When I showed the director the military uniform I brought, he nodded in approval.

“That’s nice. But we can’t use unit insignias or badges.”

“Right.”

I attached the name tag to the Velcro on the uniform and immediately started the photo shoot.

Click.

“Good.”

Click.

“Too good.”

The filming ended when I started hearing phantom praises in my ears.

“Phew. Guys, not just anyone can do this. It’s so hard.”

[⚔️But you did well]

[Yeah, you looked cool, Room Master]

The photo shoot marked the end of the day.

When I was catching my breath, Director Park Seong-woo approached.

“Ms. Ga-eul, you’ve worked hard.”

“I just did what I was told. Everyone else worked harder.”

“The fact that the filming set has a good atmosphere is already a big achievement. Everyone was praising you, Ms. Ga-eul.”

“I’m embarrassed.”

[⚔️Shy]

[⚔️Haha shy]

“And it’s not over yet.”

“What’s left?”

I was completely drained, but in that state, Director Park Seong-woo fluttered a contract in front of me.

“Ms. Ga-eul, we decided to release your character. You need to do the voice recording.”

“Ah…”

[⚔️LOL]

[⚔️Room Master, fighting! The chicken tastes especially good today]

[⚔️Burp, watching the Room Master struggle is so satisfying]

Fortunately, there weren’t many long lines.

Most of them were from the script Director Park Seong-woo had given me earlier, and even those were just reciting the character’s actions.

“Ms. Ga-eul, your voice is too good. That’s the problem. Unlike the ad, this character is playful, so try to sound a bit more mischievous.”

“Yes!”

[Why are we just staring at a black screen?]

[⚔️Character release is under tight security, you know]

[⚔️If the Room Master’s character comes out, I’m buying it no matter what LOL]

[It’s a gacha system, by the way LOL]

“Kyahat! Double kill! Bleh! Triple kill!”

After recording for a while and gaining confidence, I heard the director’s voice through my earphones.

– Good job. You can come out now.

“Okay.”

Thud.

As I opened the recording studio door and stepped out, Director Park Seong-woo approached with a smile.

“You’ve worked hard. It’s really over now.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“Haha. Tired, right?”

“Yeah. It’s my first time doing something like this, so it’s pretty exhausting.”

The director, who had been complimenting me, pulled an envelope from his pocket and handed it to me.

“What’s this?”

“It’s the payment for the Baekseol ad. Normally, we wouldn’t give it like this, but since there wasn’t a separate contract with Baekseol, we included it.”

Looking at my created character, I noticed a white rabbit stuck to its head.

“Oh, thank you.”

As I took the envelope and peeked inside to see how much was there, Director Park Seong-woo handed me something else.

The pile of paper in front of me looked like a contract.

“What’s this now?”

“It’s for an RPG we’re doing a major patch on at TG. Could you help us with some ads?”

“Huh? How?”

“Just play it casually during your broadcasts. If you could mention the game’s strengths while playing, that’d be even better.”

“Ah, well. Gaming is my specialty. Easy.”

“Then, we’ll be counting on you.”

As I took the contract, I suddenly remembered how much I owed Eun-a unnie.

“Director…”

[⚔️CEO Han is getting dark!!]

[⚔️Turn on the lights!!!]

***

“Kya! Ga-eul, thank you! I had no idea I’d get to handle the Three Game ad.”

“Yeah. And the contract is being sent to your MC&N? That agency that manages platform creators, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. They handle platform creators.”

“They’re not scammers, so it should be fine.”

“Gasp. Of course, it’s fine. What kind of place is TG?”

“Is that so? Well, I have to do the same game ad, so let’s level up a bit and meet later.”

“Got it! See you soon!”

“Okay.”

Seeing Eun-a unnie so happy made me feel good too.

With a joyful heart, I ended the call and immediately started my broadcast.

<Lady Han Ga-eul has started broadcasting>

[⚔️Damn it, Room Master!!]

[⚔️CEO Han, if you keep this up, we’ll feel left out!]

Welcoming me…

“Thanks to the viewers, the fun doubles.”

“Hello, everyone. Today, I’m going to try out a game.”

[????]

[⚔️Is this an ad?]

[⚔️This feels like homework.]

[⚔️The tone sounds like homework, though.]

“Damn, you guys are quick.”

[LOLOLOLOLOL]

[This is hilarious LOLOLOL]

As expected of seasoned internet viewers, they immediately caught on as soon as I said a word.

“Ahem, ahem. Straight to the point, the sequel to the disastrous Hellbound Chronicles! Adrienne Online, a game made by the legendary TG.”

[⚔️Crazy girl, you said it was an ad.]

[⚔️The ad department is crying LOLOLOL]

[⚔️Straight-up dissing the game company LOLOL]

[⚔️Sorry, sorry, sorry, teachers, this is our kid’s first time doing a game ad.]

“While the game is downloading, shall we check out the settings?”

Entering the homepage, a video automatically plays, showing a brief story.

“It’s about the goddess Adrienne summoning heroes. Wow, this looks so fun.”

[⚔️Why did they give the ad to the streamer? I really don’t get it.]

[This is so chaotic LOL]

While browsing through the homepage with the viewers, a notification popped up saying the game installation was complete.

After logging into the game and becoming a streamer, I entered the usual nickname I always use.

〈Han Ga-eul is already taken.〉

“Who took it?”

[⚔️Streamer, ad ad ad.]

[LOLOLOL so fast.]

“Who took it?”

I had no choice but to create a new nickname.

〈BaekseolSupremeKnightzxc has been created.〉

[LOLOLOL what a nickname.]

[⚔️Grandma, you shouldn’t make it like that.]

[⚔️Wow, I thought of everything but didn’t expect that one.]

Upon entering the game, the first thing I saw was a medieval-style background.

A beautiful fountain and cheerful background music played.

Rumble rumble.

“What’s this?”

〈BaekbanSupremeKnightzxc〉

〈vBaekseolMagev〉

〈BaekseolSupremeKnightzxc〉

〈BaekseolMageKingzxc〉

“Ugh, look at these nicknames. They reek of cringe, guys.”

[⚔️(･`◡´･)ゝ]

[⚔️You’re our captain LOL]

Everything else was fine, but the real issue was the server lag caused by the growing number of people in the beginner village.

“I’m doing an ad, you crazy people. Go to another channel.”

BaekbanDishwasherKnightv: Catch them!

zxcBaekseolManzxc: Ah, where are you going LOL?

..

..

..

The tutorial monsters, which weren’t even that many, were being swarmed, and progress was impossible.

Moreover, no matter how many times I switched channels, the viewers kept chasing me like crazy, which was the biggest problem.

[⚔️At this point, just change your nickname to Uehara Ga-eul.]

[⚔️I already took that one.]
