I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work

56 – Burying One Person is Nothing

I was shocked when I heard that a hundred thousand YouTuber was my fan.

But that wasn’t the end of it.

There was another player.

Ronje, a Knight of Legend second-string pro gamer.

[Actually, I was curious about being invited by Majiya today. I heard you created the Dark Cloud Demolition Meta.]

“Oh. Yes… Huh? Created it?”

[I happened to see the video of you backdooring with Apola on Komari’s stream. It flowed into my personal broadcast, and I happened to catch it.

Thanks to that, I used it as a surprise strategy in the tournament. Because of the win I secured that day, I managed to avoid a disastrous playoff this year.]

“Umm.”

No, that wasn’t creating a meta; you just used Apola.

I had been scolded by Komari several times that day to play the game properly.

Why is that something to be thankful for?

Suddenly feeling a huge burden, I bit my lip, wanting to run away, when someone popped up again.

[Thanks to Ronje, I got to talk to Majiya. Lucky me.]

[For real. I never dreamed I would get to play games with you like this.]

[You guys have a misunderstanding. It’s not because of me; it’s thanks to Maru who invited me.]

[Oh right. Thank you, Maru!]

[Ahem. You should be thanking me. If I hadn’t asked, Jia probably would have gone home and sent a malicious donation.]

[Oh, no way.]

[Haha. Right. I heard Majiya was a malicious sniper in Momo’s room. Is that true?]

“Uh. Um.”

[If you ask like that, you won’t be able to answer properly.]

[Why not? Sniping isn’t necessarily bad. You didn’t relentlessly torment Momo to the point of making her cry, right?]

[I watched some videos of you sniping, and you seemed surprisingly sweet. You’d tease and then rush in to save her.]

[Really? So it wasn’t just sniping; it was sweet sniping.]

[What’s sweet sniping… If it’s sniping, it’s sniping.]

[Hey, guys. Why are you evaluating Jia? Just ask her directly.]

In this situation, I naturally thought Maru or Komari would help me.

But, was it that the facts I had been throwing around joyfully were now coming back to me as karma?

Maru shouted as if she had been waiting for this moment.

[Hey, everyone——!! Jia has something to say———!!]

[What? Really?]

[What is it? What is it?]

[Hurry up and tell us; we’re all ears.]

[Alright. Let’s go.]

[Speak up.]

Wait, wait, wait.

Something is wrong here.

Why does everyone seem to know me?

I’m not that famous.

I’m just a Parallel in-house Majiya assistant.

Since I had been silent all this time, Komari finally spoke up.

[You might be wondering why everyone knows Jia. Actually, our concert a few days ago was a huge success. So everyone here knows about it.]

So?

[As we were talking, Jia naturally came up. I guess Maru invited you to play together because of that?]

So, all eleven people here know me.

Everyone knows me, and even…….

[Majiya is surprisingly shy, isn’t she?]

[Isn’t it cute how different she is from when she’s on stream? Hehe.]

[Gap moe and gap moe.]

[Say it, partner. Say it, partner. Say it, partner.]

[Oh, stop, stop. At this rate, Majiya will run away!]

[Majiya Maji Angel~.]

[Who just said that! So funny.]

[Ahahaha!]

It seemed like most people had high expectations of me.

I realized this thanks to the Boss, but it’s not the time to explain.

The one who gathered the party was Ronje, and the one who invited me was Maru.

Why does it feel like I’m the main character now?

I didn’t want this kind of atmosphere.

Thirty minutes ago.

[Ronze (pro gamer): I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect my brother to suddenly have a schedule.]

[Maru (Parallel): Is there a spot for Ronje? If so, can I invite someone?]

[Ronze (pro gamer): Yes, please do.]

Ronje, a second-string pro gamer from the Naore pro gaming team ATX.

He had always been quite interested in Virtual YouTubers, and the proliferation of domestic corporate affiliations, including Parallel, was an opportunity for him.

In any business sector, when a company emerges, it naturally goes through a process of popularization, increasing its consumer base, and the culture itself evolves to capture that audience.

As a result, attractive Virtual YouTubers appeared or underwent corporatization without significantly damaging the existing Korean sentiment.

Even though Ronje had enjoyed watching the Japanese Batchu Batchu side, he often felt uncomfortable due to the language barrier, so once that was resolved, he quickly became immersed.

Among those who debuted in that way, Komari was a first-generation member of Parallel.

An elf obsessed with Naore.

Falling for her charm, which turned her into a battle maniac and unleashed sharp-tongued remarks whenever she met Naore, Ronje naturally became a fan.

When Komari wanted to reach Diamond tier and sought advice here and there, he was the first to step up and help her.

While he was indulging in his fandom, he happened to see something.

“Isn’t it obvious that if you’re in Siege class, you should be pushing towers and earning gold to break through to the enemy’s base? Even if I break it, it gives money to my allies. I thought that was just common sense.”

“Is losing 300 gold that important to throw the game? You earn money just by getting a kill anyway.”

“Well, I did it, but how can I trust what Iron says?”

A shocking statement that rivaled Komari’s sharp tongue.

However, it was an acceptable statement because it was from a different game’s Diamond tier.

That statement, which precisely hit the essence of the game, was like a burst of soda in Ronje’s chest.

Moreover, the Dark Cloud extreme Apola she showed ignited Ronje’s curiosity.

So much so that he tested extreme Apola in solo queue for over ten games that day.

Then, when Ronje’s team, struggling in the playoffs, faced a crisis of elimination by trailing 1:2 in the first round of a Bo5.

Ronje showed his determination.

“I’ll give it a try, just trust me once,” he said, and Apola was picked as the fifth choice.

The unprecedented appearance of Apola, which hadn’t been seen in years, surprised the opponents, the commentators, and even the audience, and Ronje created a miracle.

With a crazy split push and backdoor, he brought home the victory in the fourth set, tying it 2:2, and the team escaped the crisis to win the fifth set and advance to the next round.

Although they didn’t reach the finals, Ronje thought he should thank the employee, Jikwon D, who had given him the idea someday.

He waited for the opportunity to come.

[Maru (Parallel): I called our Majiya assistant.]

[Maru (Parallel): She’s not a streamer, though.]

[Maru (Parallel): Is everyone else okay with that?!]

So when the opportunity came, he seized it.

[Ronze (pro gamer): I’m fine with it.]

The funny thing was that Ronje wasn’t the only one thinking that.

[Serena (Rapitz): Wow, amazing.]

[Rupko: Me too.]

[Kamik: Awesome, please call her right away.]

All nine members of the collaboration, excluding Komari and Maru, immediately sent the okay sign.

The fundamental reason was probably the concert that had taken place a few days ago and the pre-event.

Anyway, it wasn’t a good situation for Ronje, who wanted to express his gratitude.

[Majiya, you’re a werewolf, right? You’re a werewolf, aren’t you?]

[No. No.]

[Oh, come on. If you don’t speak properly, will I shoot? I’m a vigilante.]

[I’m telling you, I’m not.]

Majiya was too popular.

A person who had only appeared on a few broadcasts, a manager of a Virtual YouTuber group, was practically the main character of today’s broadcast.

[Kamik! Please catch Majiya! I think she’s a werewolf!]

[Whoa, whoa. Majiya, stop. If you keep running away, will I press this button? If I vote, Majiya will definitely die this turn?]

[I’m telling you, I’m not.]

— Isn’t it already the atmosphere that she is a werewolf?

— Wow, they’re all rushing in terrifyingly.

— It’s like they’re just sucking her dry, haha.

— It’s funny because the person who was talking well the whole time is acting like this, haha.

:: An anonymous sponsor has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Majiya struggles with excessive praise… memo… ::

It was all because the first-generation anniversary concert had been a huge success.

The replay views of the four-hour concert pre-event, which had no edited version, were 150,000.

That’s how much the current topic in the Virtual YouTuber-related streaming world was Parallel.

And when the legendary Pokémon, who thought she would never appear unless it was a Parallel broadcast, suddenly popped up on Maru’s fishing rod, everyone went wild.

In terms of pocket monsters, she was like a rare monster that appears with a truly terrible probability, completely different in color from the usual ones, and how could they filter this?

Anyone would want to catch the YouTube opportunity.

In reality, there was no way to know how many people actually liked Majiya, but because of that, Ronje was in trouble.

He needed to express his gratitude.

But with so many fakes and pretenses around, he feared that his feelings would also be taken as false.

Fortunately for Ronje.

Somehow, the opportunity had come.

The mafia role in the mafia game.

A game where you win by killing humans and neutral roles and occupying the majority of survivors.

If they navigate through the crisis together, a sense of camaraderie naturally arises.

At that moment, he could sincerely express his gratitude.

As soon as the game started, Ronje chased after Majiya, who was running away to a corner.

Many people were chasing Majiya, but perhaps because she had been running away the whole time, her movement skills were extraordinary.

Eventually, only Ronje remained and managed to catch Majiya.

“Jia, Jia, Jia. Wait a minute, wait a minute.”

[Uh. Yes?]

“Just for a moment, over here.”

If you hide in the sewer, no one can hear your voice except for the plumber among the werewolves and humans.

Normally, he would have worried about the plumber, but right now, the only ones who had come to this corner on the wide map were Majiya and Ronje.

Clunk!

Ronje entered first, and Majiya followed.

“Phew. We’re werewolves, right? Let’s strategize. I’m the Devourer who leaves no corpses. I’ll kill everyone. If a trial happens, just support me. If you back me up well, we can definitely win this round.”

Majiya had been running away continuously, probably feeling burdened by the people.

So, she might not accept this proposal.

She might just want to quietly fill the numbers and exit.

But surprisingly, Majiya’s response was very positive.

“Just leave it to me. If anyone messes with Ronje, I’ll crush them all.”

–

In fact, there was a reason why Majiya had no choice but to accept Ronje’s proposal.

Do you know what happened as soon as they came out after conspiring like that?

[Majiya, what are you doing without doing your mission?]

[Majiya, are you another werewolf?]

[Ah! Everyone, stop bothering Jia!]

[Mari, move aside. I need to check.]

[Ugh. Why is Maru doing this too!]

Maru was someone who often did crazy things according to the atmosphere, so that was understandable.

But the problem was the others.

Like a horde of zombies, they gathered wherever they went.

Majiya. Majiya. What do you think about this? What do you think about that?

Aaaah.

Please just leave me alone.

I just want to quietly blend in.

I was planning to take a chance and practice leading opinions in front of people just once, and what is this?

That’s why Ronje’s proposal had to be a blessing.

He said he would draw all the aggro, just back him up. How great is that?

In reality, Ronje confidently went around devouring people, and soon a trial was held.

Since Ronje’s detailed role was the Devourer, there were no corpses left, and the situation was reported by Kamik, who saw the eating scene.

[Ronje is the Devourer. I saw him eating.]

[No, everyone. It’s a misunderstanding, right? I was doing my mission, and Kamik killed him next to me.]

[Ronje. Who would believe that? No one believes you.]

[Oh, come on. No one believes that. There were only the two of us then. There’s no evidence.]

But because the two were far apart, the only witness was Kamik.

[Hmm. Is there anyone else who saw Kamik and Ronje?]

[I was somewhere else.]

[Hmm.]

Since there was no evidence, people were also skeptical.

And I had a talent for burying someone in such a chaotic situation.

Not literally burying them, but limited to the internet.

If someone I didn’t like appeared on the gallery, I knew how to snipe them using VPNs and the numerous floating and sub-accounts I had.

I had chased away those who pretended to be fans in Momo’s gallery more than once.

So helping Ronje was easy.

In reality, I couldn’t use the Fluid Doppelganger Technique, but what did that experience mean?

You can do it. Doppelganger technique.

With voice imitation.

“But I saw Kamik going north before Ronje!”

[Huh? No, Maru. I didn’t see it like that; you’re just lying.]

“It’s not a lie!! I was standing on the way. Jia saw it too, right?

……Hmm. I think I saw someone passing by while we were talking.

Such testimony thrown in a situation where both Ronje and Kamik were suspicious holds tremendous power.

Immediate reactions came.

[Wow. Kamik is trying to pin Ronje down right away.]

[Well, Ronje has been playing the game too well the whole time. Right?]

[No, no, everyone. Calm down. Something feels off. Really, something feels off.]

You might wonder why Maru is silent even after hearing my voice imitation, but there’s a reason for that too.

The role I took on this time, the Werewolf (Silencer), is to silence the designated person’s speaking rights during the trial.

Although it often receives criticism for being usable only twice in a game.

For me, it became a card that could truly shake the game itself.

Suddenly, the chat in Maru’s stream, which had been on since earlier, became noisy.

Although I couldn’t hear the sounds, Maru’s Avatar was shaking noisily.

She was probably making a fuss with her mouth sealed.

— Wasn’t that the person who had been running away until just now? Haha.

— Crazy, haha.

— Wow, she’s dunking someone with voice imitation, haha.

— Wow, that’s just terrifying, haha.

— Oh, it wasn’t Maru who said that? Haha.
