    31 – 1st Generation 1st Anniversary Song Released on November 5

    31 – 1st Generation 1st Anniversary Song Released on November 5

    [Today, after the internal match, please do the Parallel Song World Cup.]

    The moment he heard those words, Mugeon felt a stark sense of dissonance.

    ‘What a strange person…’

    In Mugeon’s perception, there were three words that defined the person called Jikwon D.

    Malicious, sniper, attention-seeker.

    From sniping Mugeon without consulting the boss Momo beforehand, to suddenly saying she wanted to get first place and telling Mugeon not to hold her back, to throwing a grenade for cursing the boss.

    Every single thing was extraordinary.

    It was the kind of behavior a normal person would never do in front of a celebrity like Mugeon.

    But such a person,

    Who had been acting like today was her debut showcase all along,

    Suddenly asking to do a Parallel Song World Cup?

    ‘I thought promoting the first generation was just an excuse, and her own debut was the priority…. Was I wrong?’

    But that’s not the case.

    Even to the viewers, Majiya was a strange person.

    Just as they would be bewildered if a salaryman who had been singing trot songs with a red face and a necktie around his head suddenly turned serious, spoke deliberately, and started promoting products he had kept in his bag.

    — Song World Cup?

    — That’s random lol

    — Oh, I see, she’s asking to do it to promote her new song

    — Ah right, she’s Jikwon D

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

    :: I forgot until just now that Jikwon D came for promotion… ::

    — You too?

    — Me too lol

    — No, isn’t she just enjoying the internal match? Am I the only one who feels that way? lol

    — For real, she could just continue broadcasting like this

    Moreover, if Jikwon D was just a simple malicious attention-seeker, it would be understandable.

    Her gaming skills that worked even against former pros.

    Her high-level impersonations and rap.

    Even speaking her mind without hesitation in front of awkward people.

    She already had enough broadcasting talent, and while actually showing it off, she periodically drew a line saying “I’m not that kind of person”.

    Somehow, it made the viewers feel unnecessarily irritated.

    Just like how people get annoyed at those who have plenty and complain about not being able to do this or that.

    Avoiding debut must be either due to her own stubborn resistance or the company’s defense.

    While the latter might have its reasons, the former just seems strange no matter how you look at it.

    So Mugeon also started to get curious.

    Will this diligent employee always stand outside the letterbox?

    Does she have no intention of entering the screen herself?

    Meanwhile, as if tired of waiting for an answer, Majiya asked in a prickly voice.

    [So. Are you going to do the Parallel Song World Cup or not?]

    Anyway, to come back to the point.

    Mugeon likes Jikwon D’s crack play.

    He likes the big ripple she caused in the calmly flowing internal match.

    However, this exciting atmosphere can only be maintained if she exists.

    That’s how unique Jikwon D’s character was.

    Although Mugeon was friends with Momo, he had never even listened to a cover song, let alone watched a VTuber broadcast.

    — Will he accept this?

    — This hyung doesn’t watch VTubers even though he’s friends with Momo lol

    — If he accepts this, that would be legendary in its own way

    This proposal had to be accepted.

    Because it would create a reason to invite Majiya to the internal match again.

    “Alright. Let’s open the club today, what the heck.”

    To god-tier users, diamonds are pebbles.

    They’re relatively common compared to god-tier, and they’re just kicked around carelessly.

    In other words, when Majiya first appeared as an internal match member, everyone thought:

    She’s obviously here to get carried.

    VTuber? Parallel? If it’s for promotion, she won’t be anything special.

    However, after playing the warm-up round, everyone thought:

    Don’t get close to the smokescreen for now.

    It’s dangerous if you get close.

    That person isn’t a pebble, she’s at least as big as a bowling ball.

    If you kick it, your ankle will break.

    So each team’s strategy completely changed.

    From targeting Majiya at the front line to going back to the original method of taking down Mugeon first.

    They were confident that if they dealt with him alone, they could win against the remaining two using numerical superiority.

    However, as mentioned earlier, Mugeon’s team was like a pair trawler.

    With Majiya running ahead and the supporter and Mugeon following behind. If Mugeon got isolated, Majiya would hurriedly come back after hearing the gunshots—actually for kill stealing.

    If Mugeon held out? As soon as the smokescreen started flying, one of the three would definitely be taken down by the double barrel.

    If it were a ranked game, it would be right to retreat and plan for the future.

    But this is an internal match. And losing again to an opponent who had already beaten you once was also a matter of pride for god-tier players.

    If they fought head-on, the fight inside the smokescreen would ultimately be Majiya’s victory.

    She went down surprisingly easily outside the smokescreen, but inside the hazy smoke, she was a monster like there was some combat enhancement effect.

    … As the first main game ended like that, the perception of Majiya changed again.

    Don’t enter the smokescreen.

    Let’s retreat as soon as we see the smokescreen.

    That’s not a bowling ball, it’s an SCP or cosmic horror inside the smokescreen.

    The speculation that she won by luck had now completely disappeared.

    Because Majiya was god-tier the moment she fought in the smokescreen.

    As a result of all teams stubbornly sticking to the strategy of retreating as soon as they saw the smokescreen:

    Mugeon’s team performance recorded 1st place in the first main game, 2nd place in the second game, and 4th place in the third game, gradually declining.

    But still, 1st place in overall points.

    They were able to finish the internal match proudly winning the prize money of 1 million won.

    However, Mugeon always gave up the prize money even when he won. Majiya also refused the prize money, saying that getting the promotion opportunity was enough for her.

    In the end, it went to supporter Park Won-hyuk, who had shown crazy care following Jia around all day.

    He received a total of 2 million won, including Mugeon’s 1 million won from the kill bet result.

    [Thank you so much. I’ll play the Parallel 1st anniversary song ten times on my broadcast. It was November 5th, right?]

    [Yes. Thank you for your interest.]

    [No, no. I’m the one who’s grateful. Please drop by the internal match occasionally! Your double barrel today was really awesome!]

    [It’s nothing. Your care was really good too, Backbone.]

    [Thank you!]

    And with that, supporter Park Won-hyuk also left the talk code.

    After all the internal match members had left, Majiya, left alone in the talk code, muttered as if for Mugeon to hear.

    “… My one million won.”

    There was a fierce battle until the very end, but.

    Mugeon, who wanted to win the internal match, focused on winning rather than kill stealing, and in the end, Majiya won by a difference of 1 kill.

    In a way, it could be seen as the difference between a former pro and an amateur who stakes their life on kill stealing.

    But a bet is a bet.

    [Jikwon D under Mugeon, do you acknowledge?]

    — Jik-under-mu lololol

    — Loser loser loser

    — lololol

    “Yes, I’ll acknowledge it until the next kill bet.”

    [But there won’t be a next kill bet.]

    “Huh? Why not?”

    [Whether it’s an internal match or a collaboration, please contact our boss if you want to do it. Can I do some promotion now?]

    “Ugh…. Alright.”

    — You told us not to bother you earlier lolol

    — Stop bullying Jikwon D!!

    — That’s enough, hurry up and show us the 1st generation video

    — Hyung, you’re being a bit clingy today?

    — Let’s get to the promotion~~

    It might be disappointing for Mugeon, but now was the optimal timing for promotion.

    [ (🔴Live) Parallel Song World Cup for VTuber Novice ] 👪35,654

    Doesn’t the number, which has barely decreased from the peak of 38,000 even though the internal match has ended, speak for itself?

    That the viewers’ interest has now shifted from Majiya to the 1st generation’s 1st anniversary new song.

    The atmosphere changed dramatically after the request for the Song World Cup.

    After all, people who send donations and chat in broadcasts?

    They go through all that trouble hoping for a reaction from the broadcaster.

    Most of the people who came today were curious about Jikwon D.

    So the viewers also pondered how to hear her voice more, which was busy with the game, and realized.

    Oh? She responds when this is mentioned?

    Then what if I send this kind of donation? What if I chat like this?

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

    :: Wow, it’s already the 1st generation’s 1st anniversary ::

    [Yes, it’s already been a year. Time really flies.]

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

    :: When will the new song be released? I’m waiting ::

    [It will be released after the internal match, before Mugeon’s Parallel Song World Cup. Please wait a little longer.]

    The result led to a relay of questions and answers,

    Even those who weren’t interested gradually became interested, and Majiya’s voice also became more cheerful.

    Thanks to that, right before the video release, even though it was Mugeon’s broadcast, it was almost like a Parallel festival atmosphere.

    The viewers are happy because they succeeded in attracting attention, and Majiya is happy because people like the 1st generation.

    [Then, shall I now deliver the news I brought from Parallel? I guess most of you have already figured it out because of my nickname. First, I have a video prepared, so I’ll talk to you after watching this.]

    — e

    — I’ve been waiting for this~

    — Let’s gooo

    — murmuring

    — Another! Another! Another! Another! Another!

    — Wishing for the new song to be a big hit

    After a blackout, a 1-minute video starts.

    Boom, boom, boom, boom.

    A synthesizer plays along with intense kicks.

    What follows is the pre-chorus just before the song’s refrain.

    A feast of sounds that gradually builds up and rushes in. Viewers who have listened to songs before expected the chorus to burst out at this point.

    Even those who don’t know much are already in a festive mood, waving light sticks.

    On top of that, Mugeon added his own evaluation while nodding his head.

    “It’s pretty good?”

    — (light stick con)(light stick con)(light stick con)(light stick con)(light stick con)

    — (butt con)(butt con)(butt con)(butt con)

    — Oh

    — (light stick con)(wave con)

    OTNXSU9XcTFURXdtd0tweHpoait4akVEQVJoTmMrTm16VjVSWTNEeEJiUzB3Qm1IV3VLRUhadlBXbFY3RjdoVA

    — What, this is really good

    Among the numerous light sticks, many people also give direct evaluations.

    Good, the feeling is crazy, exciting, and so on.

    Finally, the intense melody and beat reminiscent of K-pop boom.

    The main vocal of the addictive hook song rushed in like a flood.

    Get addicted to this attraction, fall into it

    This love is so real, it’s taking me high

    Our world, endlessly connected

    Together we shine, like stars in the sky

    Dora and Maru alternately showing off their singing skills.

    In between, Komari and Rain’s rap naturally continued.

    — Kyaaaaaaaaa

    — Let’s gooo~

    — Wow, that’s refreshing

    Just when people were deeply focused like that.

    When a 3D silhouette dance video, hastily created using the motion captured today, briefly flashed by.

    — ?

    — Gasp

    — Is it 3D?

    — 3D is here?!

    — Woohoo wwwwwwwww

    — 3D? Crazy

    — What the heck

    — Kyaaaaaaaaa

    — It’s 3D

    — Damn, Jikwon D brought 3D!!!!!!!

    — Yeehaw

    — Let’s gooo~

    — What is this!

    — Are they doing a 3D concert too? Wow

    — Damn, I knew I could trust Boss Mo!!!!

    Probably, a great success in promotion?
