110 – Have you heard of the Caligula Effect?

110 – Have you heard of the Caligula Effect?

At this point, the viewers’ thoughts on Mugeon were divided.

One side was indifferent to whether Majiya created a certain atmosphere or not.

They were in favor of Mugeon winning first and then thinking about Majiya’s singing broadcast afterward.

— Honestly, I’m so glad Mugeon showed up.

— For now, it’s right to cheer for Mugeon here.

— Please win.

Most of them were not the type to develop romantic feelings for streamers (feeling a fictional romantic affection).

They were purely viewers who watched the streamers for their entertainment or skills.

And on the other side.

This side was just chaotic.

— Krrrrrrrrrrr

— No, no… no, no… no, no… no, no… no, no… no, no…

— Majiya isn’t a baby… Majiya isn’t a baby… Majiya isn’t a baby… Majiya isn’t a baby…

— You want to sing together? Huh? Am I black? Am I going to lose????

Of course, both Majiya and Cheon Do-hee, who was watching this situation through the chat, found it somewhat absurd.

‘What’s wrong with them….’

Majiya was trying to charm the incoming viewers and create a simp atmosphere by acting cute.

She would say things like, “I will only look at Woldeungi,” to induce a romantic atmosphere.

Majiya was always the same.

Momo.

She was someone who was determined to die as a fan of Shirahoshi Momo.

In the first place, most of the fans were pushing for the Momo-Majiya couple.

Where did these people who were excited about the duet karaoke with Mugeon come from?

Right now, Pino, who would usually appear and generously sponsor Majiya whenever something happened, was acting overly normal.

— 🗡PIN0: Why is there someone saying their horn hurts?

— 🗡PIN0: Why are there so many people who don’t know anything?

Fortunately, Momo quickly realized the answer.

Pino’s chat was a hint.

‘Don’t know anything.’

It was a problem that the number of fans who didn’t know Majiya well had increased significantly due to the sudden influx.

Those who knew Majiya well were steadfast.

Only looking at Momo. They would snipe for Momo, take care of the first generation, and do everything for her, as Majiya was a versatile worker who was crazy about only work and had no reason to get involved with male streamers.

They just didn’t fit well with the viewers’ jokes.

Once the review content like started, they knew how to sit side by side on the sofa with the Parallel fans.

Above all, Mugeon was one of Majiya’s arch-enemies, a notorious simp turret.

Whenever Momo did a Battle Call collaboration with Mugeon, Majiya would appear, radiating discomfort (though she never crossed the line).

There was no way she would form a friendly relationship with Mugeon.

Surely, there must be some reason for her to suggest doing a singing broadcast together.

Just look at this.

[Boss. Shall I kill that guy?]

“… Jia, the mic is on.”

[I’ll turn Mugeon into a rag.]

— It’s already been exposed, lol.

— Hahahaha.

— Look at how they’re dodging.

— So cute, lol.

Majiya was only thinking about dunking Mugeon.

The suggestion to do a singing broadcast together?

She was just trying to use Mugeon’s name value to her advantage.

Since you made the viewers suffer, I’ll sing for an hour to balance things out, even if I win.

Moreover, Mugeon was someone who was not confident in singing, always just pretending to be serious without actually singing properly in collaborations.

Whatever it was, if they sang for an hour, that alone would become a hot topic.

And what about singing a duet?

It would probably just be alternating, you sing once, I sing once.

「We can split it half and half for an hour.」

Saying it like this was probably a hint that since you messed up the game, you should at least carry the log.

At least, if Momo had been watching Majiya for a long time, that’s how it would sound.

Above all, Cheon Do-hee was now in a situation where she had to pay attention to the other side.

[ (🔴Live) Defeat Majiya ] 👪43,586

#BattleColosseum #Parallel #Momo

As Majiya was rushing towards Mugeon while scolding the surrounding viewers, the number of viewers was about to reach three times the expected amount.

Monday evening.

It was as if even those who were planning to relax by watching their usual broadcasts after the weekend were being drawn in this direction.

The promotion for the first generation’s New Outfit had already been done enough.

With this number, Majiya would be beyond suspicion of being an F participant.

However, if the content gained this much attention, it was inevitable that Majiya’s songs would be endlessly reproduced and spread throughout the community.

Surely, people would mistake Majiya for a Virtual Youtuber somewhere, and the calls for her debut would only grow louder.

‘… I guess I have to do something.’

In the end, Momo could only stand firm like a mountain.

If it was for Majiya, who didn’t want to debut, Momo could be a tank as much as needed.

Couldn’t she do what she always did in the Battle Colosseum in real life?

“Jia, just trust me.”

“… Trust you with what?”

“I’ll take the hits for you! You can do whatever you want!”

Of course, Majiya, who always tormented Momo, had a different thought today.

“Not now.”

Majiya had indeed put Momo in a predicament as a signal flare.

But she had come to save Momo and lead the game to victory.

Moreover, the enemy she had to face was Mugeon, whom she disliked.

Could Momo’s head fly off if she wasn’t careful?

Even knowing this, she couldn’t put Momo in front.

That was just how Majiya was.

“Stay behind me. Don’t go in front and get killed by that guy… Mugeon.”

If you imagine a showdown between a shotgun and a pistol in a typical FPS game, usually the shotgun has the advantage.

In an open area with no cover, a pistol can take advantage of range, but otherwise, it’s hard to withstand the shotgun’s devastating damage.

However, the human with the pistol is Mugeon, a former pro who has shown insane headshot accuracy recently.

The human with the shotgun is Majiya, a monster who has won against Mugeon in official and unofficial kill matches, limited to smokescreen.

It was essentially a fight where no one could guarantee the outcome.

–
– Survival 3 – –

If we consider the relative advantages and disadvantages….

Majiya and Momo had the numerical advantage.

Both sides had reached the very end, resulting in a 2:1 fight.

Even if Majiya fell, Momo was there, so she wouldn’t die immediately, but Mugeon had come this far, having killed all his teammates right from the start, meaning he would die the moment he got knocked out.

On the other hand, Mugeon had the advantage of defense.

However, the final circle was closing in around a house, and Mugeon was the one who had taken control of that house first.

The final safe zone would kill even a max-level shield in just a few seconds.

You can’t just endure while getting hit, so ultimately, Majiya had to retake the house.

However, according to the rules, throwing weapons other than smokescreens were not allowed, so the outcome would ultimately be decided in a fight within the smokescreen.

It was truly neck and neck.

Majiya hoped that she wouldn’t have to do a singing broadcast with Mugeon.

Yet, she found herself in a paradoxical situation where she had to cheer for Mugeon.

The unicorns filled the chat with their support.

— Please.

— Please, Mugeon.

— Let’s win, please…

— If we win, I’ll be Mugeon’s man just for today.

— Please!!!

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

:: I’m so nervous, when is Majiya going to attack? Please don’t die while attacking first. ::

— Momo seems to be alive, so she’s not moving forward.

— She’s probably turret-ing, so she won’t move first?

— This is a rare sight, lol.

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

:: I can’t tell Mugeon to attack first, because with the smokescreen, I really don’t know what will happen, lol. ::

— I can’t breathe.

— If Mugeon loses, I’ll die.

— Just lie down for now.

— Ready to die.

Since Mugeon hadn’t turned on the broadcast, the viewers were all cursing while watching Majiya’s movements, looking for an entry angle.

Please die.

Please get your head blown off.

Please make a mistake.

If only Majiya dies.

Momo, left alone, can’t defeat Mugeon.

Game over. Majiya’s solo singing broadcast. Fans are happy.

So please!

In a tense moment.

One smokescreen flew through the window, filling the house with a puff of white smoke.

At the same time, Majiya began to move.

The square-shaped house had windows on the east and west, and doors on the north and south, making it completely open.

Ultimately, Majiya’s confidence shone through as she believed that once the smokescreen was laid down, she would have the advantage.

But then, phew!

A bullet from Mugeon’s pistol hit Majiya’s head precisely.

In an instant, two out of four shield bars flew away.

Majiya immediately retreated and used a shield battery.

“Ho.”

— Wow.

— What was that? Did you shoot after hearing the sound?

— Crazy person, lol. You just took that off, lol.

— Majiya-style smokescreen play, wow.

“You shoot after hearing sounds like me.”

“What? Really?”

“You practiced headshots with the pistol a lot before. I guess you’ve also honed your skills to fight in a smokescreen.”

“You must be really stressed out in this intense game, huh?”

Mugeon usually only showed about 90% of his skill to avoid stress from his active days.

But now, Mugeon was at 100%.

He was one of the Parallel fandom who wished for Majiya’s defeat.

He didn’t show it much, but he had bitter memories of losing to Majiya in kill matches twice.

It seemed he had been constantly honing his skills to take revenge somehow.

But he couldn’t delay any longer.

The survival area was narrowing by the second.

If he didn’t quickly enter the house, he would be roasted by the safe zone.

There was no choice but to bet on the next smokescreen.

“Let’s do a pincer attack. I’ll go in through the other side or the window.”

“No.”

“Why not? You’ve been using me as a meat shield all this time.”

“I don’t want you to get hit by Mugeon, no matter what.”

“You’re being unnecessarily stubborn. If you die first, I’ll be left alone anyway. Is that okay?”

“…….”

“Right? You don’t want that? So let’s just do a pincer attack. Let’s go in together and finish this.”

“No. I’ll win and make sure that situation doesn’t happen.”

However, Majiya’s stubbornness was strong.

“I’m the only one going in. You stay outside. Even if you burn to death in the safe zone.”

“Isn’t that more pitiful?!”

“I said, stay outside even if you burn to death.”

Momo pouted her lips but decided to follow Majiya’s words for now.

After all, Majiya was the one leading today’s content.

“… Okay. I’ll stay outside.”

— Hahahahaha.

— Crazy turret simp…

— Twisted possessiveness, wow.

— I’m scared.

Majiya jumped into the remaining smokescreen.

She could have walked to silence her footsteps, but she didn’t bother.

Silencing her footsteps in the smokescreen was enough for her, thanks to her military FPS game, Combative.

No matter how much she revealed her position to the opponent, Majiya wouldn’t back down.

After all, the pistol needed three headshots, but the shotgun needed only two shots.

Thinking that even if she got hit once, she would hit twice, she charged in.

—— Bang!

The moment she entered, a bullet from the pistol hit Majiya’s head, breaking two shield bars and leaving her with two remaining.

Mugeon moved and made a sound.

Now it was Majiya’s turn.

Bang!

With a loud crash, Mugeon’s shield was completely blown away.

If she hit him one more time, he would die, but the firing speed of the pistol was much faster.

Bang!

With that, Majiya’s shield was completely destroyed with the second bullet.

In a situation where both were left with just one hit…

— Oh, the smokescreen.

— Huh?

— I see it, I see it.

— Huh?

The smokescreen was dissipating.

Since she had laid it down earlier, its duration was running out.

The hazy vision cleared up.

As if by agreement, both of their aim pointed at each other’s heads, but Mugeon was faster in aiming for Majiya’s head.

Contrary to Majiya’s expectation that a former pro gamer would naturally calculate the time until the smokescreen disappeared and move to a safe spot,

Mugeon didn’t move at all, instead faking it.

In that fleeting moment, if both of their speeds were the same, the one aiming from farther away would be at a disadvantage.

Ultimately, Majiya pulled the trigger again while still aiming.

If she was going to get hit first and fall, she thought she might as well deal maximum damage.

Bang!

—— Bang!

{{February 19th Majiya’s first single release >> (Knockout) HumanSignalFlareKimFirecracker}}

In the end, the shotgun pellets narrowly failed to take Mugeon down,

and Majiya fell, having been hit in the head.

“Cough!”

— Wow.

— Crazy.

— Phew.

— Wow, did he survive that? Hahaha.

Mugeon immediately scanned the inside of the house.

The safe zone had already completely closed in on the house.

A translucent blue curtain was slowly penetrating into the house.

But Momo was not inside the house.

She wasn’t seen outside the left or right windows.

Footsteps could be heard, but they were far from the house.

She was hiding somewhere outside, getting roasted by the safe zone.

In the end, it was a picture of Mugeon winning if he could just buy a few seconds.

As mentioned earlier, the final safe zone would kill in just a few seconds.

Even though Mugeon could be targeted through the windows that Momo had opened, he didn’t care.

He knew that Momo wasn’t someone who could make accurate shots in such a desperate situation.

But then.

—— Tatatatang!

Suddenly, a barrage of bullets flew in, embedding themselves in Mugeon’s already near-death body.

{{ReallyReallyMomo >> (Kill) February 19th Majiya’s first single release}}

Majiya, who had been watching Momo’s play from the corner of her eye, couldn’t help but be surprised.

Cheon Do-hee, who she thought would be crouching behind the rock,

suddenly stood up and accurately shot Mugeon.

Right before being burned to death by the safe zone.

“… I didn’t expect this.”

— !! Victory !! —

A word from the author (Author’s note)

I made a reservation in advance to avoid being late today. Hehe…
