15 – Jia Goes Wherever She Wants
Unfortunately, I won the championship only in the first round.
Once I started taking everyone out from behind, the stream snipers completely knocked out Rain first and then blatantly marked my movements, so there was nothing I could do.
Even if they brought in a pro player, they probably would have given up in that situation.
It was an overwhelming offensive where I could struggle and take down several people, but ultimately couldn’t win.
Of course, I wasn’t particularly angry that I couldn’t keep winning.
I did as much as I could anyway, and I played games with the boss for a whole four hours, so I couldn’t possibly feel bad.
:: :: Anonymous donor has donated 100,000 Clouds! :: ::
:: :: Can we see each other again…? :: ::
So I responded to this donation that I normally wouldn’t have reacted to.
“The funny thing about that donation just now is that we watch streams in the same chat room every day.”
─ Hmm
─ Why is that true?
─ Makes sense lolㅋㅋㅋ
─ Perceptive…
“Anyway, from tomorrow I’ll see you again as viewer to viewer on the members’ streams. As the boss said earlier, we’ll meet again if there’s an opportunity. Thank you so much for today. I look forward to working with the boss and the first generation in the future.”
─ Ah………
─ Goodbye Employee D!!
─ Diva
─ Employee ㅠㅠ
─ Diva!!!
The boss didn’t say much either, and it felt like a good wrap-up.
I clearly remember it being uneventful up to that point.
The forced slander started sticking a week later.
… ─ Parallel (VTuber) Gallery ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …
[Honestly, Signal Flare’s skills seem way overhyped]
Right after the stream ended, everyone was like
Wow?
Amazing hacks, carried hard, incredible
Momo and Rain praised a lot
But actually Momo played really well in the winning round that day too?
They got crushed afterwards. But anyway, the first round win clearly wasn’t just Signal Flare alone lol.
Feels like they’re pushing it too much haha.

— Parallel901: This guy is persistent.
— Parallel731: It’s not like she’ll come out anyway haha.

Parallel731: Momo is such a tough person, she’ll never allow anything she doesn’t approve of haha.
–
Parallel381: But we don’t know that!!!
— Parallel812: Just mindlessly upvoting
–
Parallel812: If you’re upset, you should prove it by properly streaming ㅋㅋ
–
Parallel781: For real ㅋㅋ
–
Parallel114: For real ㅋㅋㅋ
— Parallel393: Don’t criticize Employee D
–
Parallel393: Without Employee D, the stream would have crashed because of stream snipers that day
–
Parallel571(OP): That’s why I’m saying this
–
Parallel393: ?
–
Parallel393: Ah
–
Parallel393: Employee D did play poorly for real
–
Parallel701: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
–
Parallel840: The sudden change is hilarious ㅋㅋ

Parallel715: You’ve realized
─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─
The one Parallel fan who was defending me suddenly turned on me as if hypnotized.
Was I really that bad?
That can’t be right.
Didn’t I carry the game while carrying two deadweights and even doing manager work?
Besides, everyone praised me when I appeared as a troll on the boss’s stream, but now they’re putting me down when I stream myself?
Maybe my skills have declined as my body shrunk, without me realizing.
I didn’t mention it yesterday, but.
It’s true that my hands got smaller, and I was less focused on the game than usual because I was conscious of that.
I guess I was a bit concerned since I was serious about Battle Colosseum like the boss.
As a result, I spent more time playing ranked games alone after work than usual.
Not to show anyone, but to review if I really did poorly.
The result of focusing on the game, even skipping my usual Japanese cutout videos, was:
[(Team) TandooriChickenBorderTandoori: You’re really overhyped]
[(Team) SpacePirateNylonMusk: ?]
[(Team) SpacePirateNylonMusk: Do you know me?]
[(Team) TandooriChickenBorderTandoori: Aren’t you Signal Flare?]
[(Team) SpacePirateNylonMusk: What]
[(Team) TandooriChickenBorderTandoori: So you admit you played poorly this round?]
[(Team) SpacePirateNylonMusk: ???]
(Teammate TandooriChickenBorderTandoori has left the game)
This was an unexpected slander in-game.
The problem was that it wasn’t just one person, but two, three people started saying things like this, so I began to wonder.
… What’s going on?
Why do they all talk like they know it’s me?
I stand out in ranked games carrying only two double barrels, but there were many copycats before and the nicknames are all different, so I thought it would be hard to identify me.
“Maybe they just poke first and ask questions later…?”
I’ve experienced all sorts of things in life.
I expected more people to recognize me, but I didn’t think my alt account that I didn’t even reveal would be exposed.
Time to create my 21st account.
It’s pretty late, but I should at least check my placement before going to bed.

– Overview
Presumed to be the general manager of the first generation VTubers at the VTuber group PARALLEL.
First became known as a sniper of VTuber Momo in 2019.
Famous as a monster who maintains Diamond tier using two double barrels in the main weapon slot.
Appearances gradually decreased from 2021, thought to have gone to live a normal life but………..
– D-Rain, Employee D
Recently appeared unexpectedly as D-Rain in PARALLEL first gen Rain’s “Find Rain” content and impressed even Rain’s chairman with voice impersonation#🔗 and rap#🔗.
The following week, she did a Battle Colosseum collab stream with Rain and Momo. As soon as she appeared, she captivated viewers with her cute voice and showed great broadcasting sense, raising many questions like ‘why isn’t someone like this streaming?’
She even properly showed her Diamond-tier skills by writing a legend of a 9:1 smokescreen battle against stream snipers.
From what’s been confirmed so far, it seems she went from being Momo’s manager to getting hired at PARALLEL.

[1] Currently estimated to have at least 4 live accounts, total number unknown. [2] Apparently has had several accounts suspended in the past for smashing the skulls of trolling teammates when fed up with Diamond-tier trolling(..)

The next day, when Dohee returned to the office after lunch and saw the link Rain had sent, she burst out laughing.
“The wiki editors are really working hard.”
Just last week, the page had only been created recently with just a few basic pieces of information.
OTNXSU9XcTFURXdtd0tweHpoait4akVEQVJoTmMrTm16VjVSWTNEeEJiUis0cFllcGM2V3J0YkhONmNSQUl6eA
Now it was packed with details on gender, affiliation, and even brief broadcasting anecdotes.
It was filled with text almost to the level of an internet broadcaster with tens of thousands of subscribers, despite not having officially debuted.
It felt like it included almost all the information that people outside the company could know.
“Still, for the level of interest, it’s pretty uneventful and peaceful…”
If she had made a mistake during the last broadcast with Jia, she wouldn’t have gotten this kind of peace.
Dohee leaned back in her chair leisurely, sipping the iced Americano she had bought from the coffee shop on the first floor.
But only for a very brief moment.
“Ah shit. This damn mouth.”
Dohee had just cast an extremely wicked spell.
The kind of ‘Is it over?’ level spell that inevitably causes an incident.
But even if it was a mistake, it really was a situation where she couldn’t help but be relaxed.
It had been over a week since the last broadcast, and while Signal Flare or Employee D were still being mentioned in communities, nothing had exploded or caught fire.
There were some who threatened to spread dirt, but it seems they were immediately suppressed at the moderator level after causing harm to a few victims.
However, the person who clicked on titles like ‘PARALLEL 2nd Gen Employee D Avatar Leaked’ was also responsible.
It was clearly a title made to bait clicks.
“…Still, just in case.”
But since she had a feeling that something might happen, Dohee decided to go over the ongoing work one by one.
1st Gen 3D models.
Completion next month.
Quality and polygon count are fine.
1st Gen debut 1st anniversary collaboration song.
The label played a sample and it turned out better than expected.
The kids are practicing hard too, scheduled to start recording in 3 weeks.
2nd Gen application submissions.
Finished creating the announcement banner.
The outsourced company is doing final checks on whether there are any issues with site traffic.
“The planning side is fine…”
Next, operations.
The first thing she checked was the 1st Gen’s broadcasting schedule.
Rain is still trying to escape Iron tier in Battle Colosseum while grinding puddles this week,
Maru brought in another puzzle game from somewhere,
Komari is doing Naore ranked games,
Dora is….
“Huh.”
Cheon Do-hee looked at the game name twice.
No matter how many times she looked, it was .
“A horror game?”
It was the latest work in the globally popular Pandemic horror game series, a masterpiece package game that combined horror and FPS genres.
It’s a bit gory, but there shouldn’t be any issues since they’ll put an 19+ rating on it.
The problem was that it was Dora playing a horror game.
Cheon Do-hee checked the time and called Majiya first.
Ring ring, ring ring.
The signal that continued for almost a minute was cut off just before going to voicemail.
[Helloooo……]
It was a weak voice as if just woken up, but still cute.
Thinking it was truly a blessed voice, Dohee said:
“Jia. Dora’s doing a horror game today.”
After yawning a few times, Majiya mumbled after a while:
[…Mm. Can I order pizza at the company later?]
–
“Yaaawn.”
Even after showering, I kept yawning.
I should have played games in moderation.
With a towel draped over my hair that was taking a long time to dry after growing so long, I fiddled with my phone.
Checking Akari Dora’s Z, the schedule had definitely changed.
Akari Dora☑ @Akari_Dora – 5 minutes ago
Guys, let’s not negotiate
Akari Dora☑ @Akari_Dora – 1 minute ago
Can’t we do something other than a horror game? Please?
As soon as I saw the word “horror game”, what came to mind was the lateness penalty.
It was a pledge made by Dora herself, who was responsible for the most tardiness among the 1st Gen – if she was late 10 times, she would play a viewer-recommended horror game as punishment.
“10 times already? It’s only been two months.”
The regular work hours are normally from 3 PM to midnight, but when Dora plays horror games, I stay at the company until the end of the stream.
Dora herself tries hard not to make mistakes, but.
Whether it’s an issue of innate motor skills or not, every time she gets startled she bumps into the desk and various other things, creating equipment issues,
And since she lacks equipment knowledge, she can’t fix things herself, so the stream often can’t proceed.
When the stream can’t proceed like that, viewers can’t help but get upset.
It’s easy to think of it like the pauses that occur during Night of Legends matches. No matter how much the commentators chat, if time keeps getting taken away and delayed, it’s strange not to get annoyed.
If it’s like that even with commentators, how would it be for an internet broadcast where you have to fill the sound alone?
Moreover, if the sound gets blocked on top of that.
That’s… hell.
The audio interface issue from a few weeks ago that seemed to be resolved quickly was actually one of the painful causes that sent Dora’s live viewers to rock bottom.
Of course, you might think I could just wait at Dora’s house if I’m going to be on standby at the company like this.
But still, it doesn’t look good for a male employee to wait for hours at a single woman’s house, even with the reason of “worried about equipment issues”.
“…Wait a minute.”
I tilted my head to the side.
No matter how I looked at it.
What was reflected in the mirror was one cute girl who had just finished showering.
“Doesn’t this mean I can wait at Dora’s house now?”

It’s the baby faction…!
