51 – Woo Woo Black Company (1)

Here is the English translation of the Korean novel excerpt:

The streaming time for the eve of the Parallel 1st Anniversary Online Concert is 6 PM.

However, most broadcasts start a little earlier than the regular scheduled time to conduct various tests such as equipment setup.

The eve broadcast also started around 5:45 PM for that reason.

#Parallel #Another #1stAnniversary #EveFestival

Weekend.

Anticipation built up from the relay 3D showcases.

First generation fans becoming refugees with no broadcasts due to online concert preparations.

People gathering out of curiosity about Majiya, who’s good at games but has avoided long conversations, participating in a 4-hour broadcast.

Added floating viewers curious to see what the Smokescreen Mysterious Person would be like as an MC.

With rumors spreading that Employee D’s rigging was completed, the viewer count had already surpassed the expected peak even a few minutes before the regular scheduled time.

— Open the dooooooor

— Open the door

— (Open the door con)

— Open the door, host

— Movgun: Open the door!!!

— ?

— Was that the real Mugeon just now?

— I know Employee D is there

— Open the door!!!!

— Open!!!!!!!!

— I think I saw someone by mistake lol

— Bring Employee D and we’ll spare your life

— Bring the kidnapped Employee D!!!

First, Dohee’s mic test.

“Ah ah. Mic check one two three. Mic check one two three.”

As soon as Dohee’s voice popped out on the broadcast that only had background music playing softly, the reaction was intense.

— Hi Boss Mo

— Moha

— Moha moha

— I thought I was gonna die without Boss Mo’s broadcasts all week ㅠㅠㅠ

— Enjoyed the showcase Boss Mo

— Mong Mong already froze to death…

— Wow Undangi ㄷㄷ

— Undangi lol

:: Anonymous donor donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Undangi can be revived with Employee D’s voice, donate to Undangi 1004-1004 ::

— Wondy-chan majitency

— Hurry with the voice

— Quicklyyyyyy

— Please hurry

Next was Majiya’s turn.

“One two three.”

But it was too short even for a short phrase.

Even waiting to see if more would come, that was it.

Though the broadcast was starting soon anyway, viewers couldn’t bear even that short wait and clamored.

— ?

— What kind of test is this

— Do more!!

— No it’s too short

— So are you debuting today?

— Show the avatar heung

— I like short ones too

— (Bread butt con)

— Uhuhu Wondy-chan

— Can’t you do it longer?

— Kyaaaaaa

— Ah Undangi melted halfway

— Teacher this is a bit

— Do more do more do more do more do more do more do more do more do more do more

— Too short

— My body can no longer be satisfied with just this!! Take responsibility!!!!!!!!

Clearly Dohee is the real virtual YouTuber.

Somehow the reactions were similar when Dohee spoke and when Employee D spoke.

“If Mong Mongs get caught being clingy, I’ll ban you all from my broadcasts.”

— What

— Alt account on

— You think I only have a main account Momo

— Instant disguise

— lol~

:: Anonymous donor donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: Even if I get banned I can just watch on my alt~ Both accounts have 78 months of subscription anyway~ ::

— Wow this guy’s for real lol

— Both 78 months is crazy lol

— I’ll eat rice so you pay more friendship fees

Time ticks by like that.

5:59 PM.

With the mic muted, Cheon Do-hee said to Jia:

“From now on, I’ll hardly give any separate instructions. Think of everything outside the script as pure ad-lib until the end of the broadcast.”

“Okay. I’ll just trust you, Boss.”

For reference, Cheon Do-hee plans to trust Majiya.

It’s the completion of Cheon Do-hee trusting Majiya who trusts Cheon Do-hee, so there shouldn’t be any major issues with the broadcast.

The important thing now is how Jia will pass this attention focused on her to the first generation members.

Using the miracle shown in the Mugeon civil war once again was the difficult task given to Jia today.

“Don’t overdo it at all. If it’s ever too much, just say so.”

“Okay.”

Though it looks like Cheon Do-hee and Majiya are leading together.

For today only, Majiya is the one running wild, while Cheon Do-hee is in a support position, preventing Majiya’s broadcast accidents and flexibly guiding the broadcast.

A stage that viewers can’t help but be fooled by was about to begin.

10 seconds. 5 seconds. 2 seconds.

1 second.

As soon as it hit the hour, Dohee switched to the pre-set Screen 1.

This is the part where the two people leading today’s broadcast briefly introduce themselves and chat before the main presentation begins.

Dohee is sitting slightly off to the side at a table that looks like a news desk.

“Hello Woldeungis. I’m Shirahoshi Momo, the star in the sky of the Parallel world! I’m greeting you today as the host of this eve festival. Nice to meet you!”

— Waaaaaaaa

— Tsk tsk tsk tsk

— Nice to meet Momo~

“The weather’s been getting colder lately. It’s only mid-November but it’s already become a season where it’s hard to go out without a thick coat, right?”

— Yeah

— It’s cold

— It’s not cold when Momo is here

“Thank you. I’m less cold because of you all too. Ah, but there is something cold today, right? It feels a bit lonely broadcasting alone… So I brought someone to host with me. Shall we call them together? Employee D, please come out!”

— Employee D come ouuuuut

— Come out

— Hurry and come in

— If you don’t come out I’ll drag you out by your hair

— Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D! Employee D!

Soon a girl with deep blue hair and blue eyes smoothly rose up from the bottom of the screen.

That avatar shown before in Mugeon’s civil war and the Naore collab with Komari.

But today is different.

It’s a living avatar that reacts and moves along with even slight movements by Jia.

“Deputy Magia”.

With perfect timing, Dohee places pastel-colored nameplates in front of the two.

A pink panel with Shirahoshi Momo written on it, and a navy panel with Deputy Magia.

“Hello. I’m formally greeting you all. I’m Deputy Magia from the Parallel operations team, who’s been called Employee D until now. I’ll be hosting with the boss today. Please take care of me.”

The avatar behind the navy panel, which was stiff until just two weeks ago, is now moving alive.

The gently swaying eye corners and shy smile mirrored the real person.

That struck the hearts of viewers, especially those who had only been watching Employee D.

— lololololol

— Kyaaaaa

— OGOD

— Wohyowwwwwwwwwwww

— Jenjang I believed in you Pino!!!!!!!!!

— Crazy it’s moving lolololol

— Wow

— I really want to imprison her in my heart

— Deputy lol

— Cu te!

— Damn my Employee D is moving

— Glad it’s alive

— How is this a company employee?

— So cuuuute…

— Nuooooooooooo lol lol lol lol lol

— Please save me I can’t breathe

— If there’s a stage name it’s a debut right? lol

— (RIP con)

So many chat messages came in that it lagged, scrolling up in chunks and stuttering repeatedly.

Meanwhile, bam bam bam!

:: :: Tenshi!!!!!!!!! :: ::

— No way it’s real lol

— Crazy bastard lol

— You finally did it lolicon!!

— Papa lolicon!! Amazing!!

— Wow but what’s with the rigging quality lol As expected of Pino lol

Three consecutive 100,000 won donations.

Pino immediately rose to 1st place in this month’s official channel donation ranking.

Though he’s alone in the ranking since it’s a channel that rarely goes live, starting donations with 300,000 won was monumental.

“Ms. Jia. You need to react to donations.”

And reacting to donations is basic when they come in.

This is no exception even for non-broadcasters.

Friends, moms, siblings, acquaintances who visit broadcasts.

Everyone is equal before donation reactions.

“Oh. I don’t have anything prepared.”

“Should we decide now if there’s nothing?”

“Hmm.”

Over 10,000 won units is considered a big donation.

From 100,000 won units is classified as a huge donation.

In other words, it’s a level that can’t be glossed over with just a simple “Thank you so much!”

So Jia thought about it for a bit.

Since she’s not a virtual YouTuber herself, roleplaying didn’t make sense.

Though the character sheet was written with a witch concept, without the robe and hat she looks more like an office worker now, so there’s no need to bother with magic spells or anything.

For now, she just needed to be an ordinary office worker. Employee. Average worker D.

“Thank you Pino. Part of the 300,000 Clouds you donated will be taken as fees by the streaming platform Ppajijik. The remaining amount will be wisely used as business funds for Parallel, including costs for new outfits, new songs, group songs and various other content for the first generation. Thank you so much for supporting the settlement and activities of the first generation who crossed dimensions.”

A very static reaction with almost no change in expression.

Even veteran viewers who’ve been in this field for a long time had never seen a case like this before.

— ?

— lololol

— This is novel

— Huh?

— No lololololol

— I shouldn’t say I can feel the hardships of an office worker…?

— Cute voice but not so cute reaction

— Surprisingly tasty?

— Why do I smell bitter coffee beans from Wondy-chan

Meanwhile, the gratitude was clearly conveyed, and the worldview was well maintained.

The setting is that the first generation Another are travelers from another Earth full of mana and mystery, so saying the donations will be used to support their settlement was a perfect fit.

So instead of telling her to react properly, Dohee subtly initiated some back-and-forth.

“Isn’t Ms. Jia being too businesslike?”

“I’m in an office job so I can’t help but be businesslike.”

As the businesslike attitude continued, viewers started spinning the setting and bait on their own.

— True but lol

— lololololol

— Oh

— Ah this is your concept?

— OK OK I understand transfer management employee

— OK got it

— Men in Black concept OK

People who came from Mugeon’s stream and don’t know the virtual YouTuber world well are confused, but this is basically the unwritten rule of virtual YouTuber broadcasts.

If someone seems to be straying a bit outside the worldview, they somehow tie them in and insert them into the worldview.

Majiya knew this fact so she didn’t make any particular comments.

She believed her character would be determined by how viewers received and accepted her.

It was Majiya’s own way of adapting by minimizing her ego and going with the flow appropriately.

:: Anonymous donor donated 10,000 Clouds! ::

:: I’m asking because I think you might answer today, but are you Parallel Black? ::

Naturally, Majiya became a management employee of a special agency (Parallel) that manages the four people who transferred from another world.

In a way, it wasn’t much different from her real self.

Like how an author’s writing skills go wild in the moment when they turn their experiences into stories.

As reality and roleplay aligned, even Majiya’s answer flowed out smoothly.

“Thank you for the 10,000 Clouds. I’m not sure if it’s Black, but I did come to work last week even though I used my vacation days.”

The chat that had been busy laughing up until then briefly paused.

Soon, hooks explosively shot up from the bottom.

— What?

— What;

— Eh

— Wh-what

— Huh?

— What;

— What are you saying Jia Jia;
