    111 – Are You Taking a Long Break After Doing This?

    — !! Victory !! —

    Majiya was fainted, and thus the viewers could not see Momo’s screen.

    They must have been even more surprised.

    No, it was only natural that they thought Majiya would lose.

    Who would have guessed that Momo would jump out and turn the tables?

    — Nooooooo

    — I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black, I’ll turn black

    — This can’t be happening……………

    — Would it be possible for us to sing together instead?

    — Kraaak Kraaak Kraaak Kraaak Kraaak Kraaak Kraaak

    — Emergency! Emergency!

    — When Majiya participated in Mugeon’s internal war, I stayed silent. It was because I wasn’t a fan of Majiya. Then when Majiya managed Mugeon and the Demon King’s Castle, I stayed silent. It was because I wasn’t a fan of Majiya. When Majiya decided to sing with Mugeon, I had nothing to say.

    — Why why why why why why why why why why

    — This is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream, this is a dream

    However, unlike the wailing viewers, Majiya felt oddly good.

    Cheon Do-hee, who was always nagged by Mugeon, had finally hit back, so there was no way she would dislike it.

    No, she was so happy that her lips curled up.

    “You just shot really well.”

    Dohee said with a bright expression.

    “Right? I did well, didn’t I? There’s a limit to ignoring me. Mo-mit-mu! Ahaha!”

    “The viewers must be furious, though.”

    “Ah.”

    — Kraaak

    — Kraaak

    — I will curse you, Cheon Momo

    — Kraaak!!

    However, at the point where she conditioned singing on winning, Majiya had already achieved her goal.

    Everyone seemed to be going crazy about the fact that she was with Mugeon….

    But when did Majiya ever say she would duet with Mugeon?

    Of course, to keep up appearances, Majiya casually opened the conversation.

    “First, I’ll invite Mugeon to discuss the penalty.”

    Soon, Mugeon was invited to the voice chat room by Cheon Do-hee.

    As soon as he entered, Mugeon sighed.

    It seemed he was quite upset about losing.

    [Damn. I lost this.]

    “Don’t ever ignore Momo again, you piece of trash.”

    [Okay. I admit it. I really lost this time.]

    “Ahahaha!”

    [So, what about the song? Should we turn on the Practice Room or something?]

    The Practice Room.

    It’s a program usually used for online band practice, which synchronizes the best possible sound even in different online environments.

    Choral singing, unlike band sound or orchestral practice, is usually conducted through this Practice Room online.

    Of course, Parallel Virtual YouTubers and broadcasters who can sing all know this program.

    However, as mentioned earlier, Majiya had no intention of dueting with Mugeon.

    There was no such thing as a waste of time.

    “No. I’ll do a one-hour singing broadcast first, so please turn on your own broadcast and carry out the penalty.”

    [What? Is that right? You want me to do it alone? I’ve never done a singing broadcast before?]

    “I’ll send you some reference material, so please do it. I want to leave early today and rest. You promised earlier, so good luck.”

    [Wait a minute. Is this right? Momo! Hey—.]

    Before Mugeon could finish his sentence, Majiya kicked him out of the voice chat room.

    With that clean decision, the chat room quickly quieted down.

    — Cut right there

    — Phew

    — Trash cut, lol

    — Mo-mit-mu, Mo-mit-mu, fun song~

    — This is it!!!!

    — Ma-ji-ya

    — Go ahead, lol

    — Great, Ji-a

    — I believed in you, Ji-en-jang, lololol

    — Momojiya is the main wife, and this is a fact stated in the Goguryeo watermelon code.

    Thus, the broadcast was left with only Cheon Do-hee and Majiya.

    Seeing Majiya firmly pushing Mugeon away, Cheon Do-hee said a word.

    “I feel like every time I see it… you seem to dislike him more and more, don’t you?”

    “I don’t like how he keeps pretending to be friendly with the Boss. If he cuts ties with the Boss, maybe I’ll be his friend then.”

    “Wow….”

    — Damn, it’s Da-ji-a again. I can’t help but worship Da-ji-a.

    — The turret queen Majiya who absolutely does not allow male intrusions.

    — I believe in you.

    — Momojiya is safe, everyone!!

    Anyway, it was now time for Majiya to carry out the penalty.

    She had promoted as much as she wanted.

    She had also hit back at the room-flipping snipers who were trying to grab her hair.

    Losing in a 1:1 was regrettable, but as she always said, Majiya acknowledged Mugeon’s skill itself.

    Especially the psychological warfare of intentionally not moving to give a fake was so exquisite that she wanted to use it later.

    But still, it was Mugeon.

    Majiya acknowledged it in her heart but did not voice it.

    This was in stark contrast to how she praised Cheon Do-hee’s amazing shot until her mouth was dry.

    After that, she proceeded with the bathroom break and the drawing for the New Outfit goods she had promised for her victory.

    About 30 minutes later, after finishing the echo setup, Majiya said.

    “Ah, can you hear me?”

    — (Light stick con)

    — (Shake con)

    — Finally, this moment is coming

    — Hehe, I’ll wait!

    — You can’t escape today, for real.

    — Majiya was F! Majiya was F! Majiya was F! Majiya was F! Majiya was F! Majiya was F! Majiya was F!

    The viewers who were dying just a while ago were now in a festive mood.

    Everyone firmly believed that by hearing this song, they could definitely take the formula ‘F participant = Majiya’.

    In the meantime, Majiya exchanged glances with Cheon Do-hee and nodded once.

    As previously agreed, Majiya announced the points to be careful about in future broadcasts.

    “First of all, since there have been many new viewers recently, I’ve been quite lenient, but after today, if you repeatedly type in the chat asking for songs, you may get banned.”

    — What?

    — Why?

    “It seems like you keep forgetting, but you shouldn’t do excessive requests on our members’ channels, including the official channel. Especially for singing, aegyo, and such. It interrupts the flow of the broadcast. Those who have been banned will know.”

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

    :: But you always force aegyo on the Boss, though. ::

    “If you feel wronged, you can get a job at Parallel.”

    — You don’t even post job openings, what are you talking about, lol.

    — Wow, that’s harsh.

    — That’s not a needle hole, it’s a nano hole…

    — There’s never been a more ridiculous situation than this.

    “Anyway, I’ll start the karaoke penalty. I’ll choose songs as they come to mind, but if you have any requests, please send them in the chat or through donations. I’ll sing if I think it’s okay.”

    — Kyaaaaa

    — Great, Ji-a

    — Majiya Maji Angel!!

    “First song is…”

    The song starting the penalty was the anniversary song of the first generation that Majiya sang anonymously in an illegal duet as an F participant.

    .

    The somewhat aggressive song choice puzzled all the viewers.

    — What?

    — Is this really coming out?

    — Choosing to break through head-on, whoa.

    — Is it to show it in advance since it’ll be caught anyway, lol?

    But Majiya’s way of singing was completely different from that time.

    “Addicted to this pull, I’m falling in—.”

    She naturally blended into the members’ harmony. Unlike back then, when she had to find the gaps in frequency and tone to avoid blocking their voices,

    Majiya sang with her natural voice, which was childlike yet lacking in strength.

    “The world of you and me, endlessly connected—.”

    Even the high notes were not finished with a clean closure that tightened the heart but were just shouted out with her throat.

    Naturally, the viewers fell into confusion.

    They had expected the clear and beautiful singing of the F participant, but instead, it felt like an elementary school student who had run in from a talent show was singing.

    — ?

    — What is this?

    — So cute, lol.

    — Is this F?

    — Reminds me of when she sang on the Slow Train, lol.

    However, amidst the confusion, the number of viewers waving light sticks gradually increased.

    The concrete floor was simply grateful for Majiya singing for them.

    Those who were confused thought this was good in its own way.

    Some raised their voices saying they didn’t want this, but they were soon swept away by the pouring light sticks.

    — (Light stick con)

    — (Light stick con)

    — Sigh

    — (Light stick con)

    — So cute

    — (Light stick con)

    — Damn, this isn’t it.

    — (Light stick con)

    — (Shake con)

    — (Light stick con)

    [Is it really F Majiya?]

    https:https://www.acacia.com/mgallery/parallel [Today’s Majiya song list (with video)]

    After the broadcast, I listened to it again in the replay,

    And the more I listened, the more confused I became.

    Majiya didn’t completely fail to sing today, did she?

    It wasn’t that she was pretending to be unable to sing on purpose,

    But the tone was completely different from when she was F.

    She does a good job of imitating children’s voices, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s good at impersonations.

    If she followed Rain’s rap, we could say it was because it was rap,

    But in the end, wasn’t F Majiya, not Momo?

    I keep thinking that,

    Am I the only one?

    [Comments]

    — Parallel891: Ji-a, you’re working hard.

    – Parallel152 (author): I’m not Majiya, I might be Momojin.

    — Parallel356: Honestly, I’m getting a bit confused at this point.


    Parallel891: Ji-a, you’re working hard.


    Parallel356: ? Are you hating on me?

    — Parallel095: Absolutely doubt it.

    – Parallel095: Doubt everything.

    … ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …

    Cheon Do-hee’s strategy of not avoiding singing hit the mark.

    After an hour of singing broadcast, people’s confidence naturally blurred, and the number of people who simply liked Majiya’s singing increased.

    It wasn’t a song that left a strong impression like a debut singer or a famous utaite, but how many people in the world can casually implement the feeling of a child performing in front of adults?

    Since Majiya is usually very prickly, businesslike, and cynical, some felt a reversal charm in her singing and entered a phase of falling for her.

    As the seniors who had already adapted to Majiya’s style gradually broke through,

    More and more people in the chat room and community began to feel relieved that rather than forcing Majiya to debut, she was continuing to broadcast.

    After all, Majiya increasing her broadcast time and starting to do things she hadn’t done before, like singing, made it seem like if she received just a little more praise, a future where she made broadcasting her main job might be slightly visible.

    Moreover, even though Majiya was the worst of the worst, she still played quite well with the viewers.

    In a way, the officialized image of viewers hitting the broadcaster was reversed, with Majiya, the broadcaster, hitting the viewers, but it was quite enjoyable.

    So, at the end of February,

    When Majiya announced that her broadcasts would be sparse from now on, the entire Parallel-related community expressed their grief.

    … ─ — Parallel (Virtual YouTuber) Gallery ─ ─ — …

    [Momo and Majiya will not be broadcasting for a while]

    The second generation interviews are finishing this week, and they said they’ll be busy selecting successful candidates and preparing for their debut.

    Fantasia will continue as scheduled at the beginning of each month,

    But the Situation Room will not be operating.

    They said they would announce separately when they finish being busy.

    It suddenly feels damp…

    [Comments]

    — Parallel103: The virtual life is ruined.

    — Parallel851: The virtual life is ruined.

    — Parallel734: The virtual life is ruined.

    — Parallel356: What’s with those saying it’s ruined when we can just watch the first generation?


    Parallel900: Wicker Town and competition influx.


    Parallel900: Daekkaejja + disruption.


    Parallel299: Did Majiya’s fandom grow that big?


    Parallel900: These days, the number of viewers in the Situation Room broadcasts always exceeds half of the first generation, lol. It’s really growing.

    … ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …

    Even the Ppajijik Gallery, which is not just a simple Parallel fandom, was not much different in situation.

    Just by gathering concept posts with a certain number of recommendations, the proportion of Majiya stories was considerable.

    … ─ — Ppajijik Gallery [Concept Post] ─ ─ — …

    [The Situation Room… is it gone now?]

    [Don’t make Mugeon sing anymore, damn it.]

    [Graduation before debut, what’s all the fuss about?]

    [Rapitz) No plans for third generation recruitment, focusing on internal stabilization.]

    [Oh no, graduation cannot happen]

    [BatchuKR) Fourth generation debut at the end of February.]

    [I’ve seen Mugeon sing before, lol.]

    [Virtual YouTuber cosplay #9 Majiya proxy]

    [So who exactly is F?]

    [If you’re a college student starting to get busy, upvote.]

    [Serena graduation D-1]

    … ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …

    However, even Majiya, who usually doesn’t take her hands off the community and SNS, this time entrusted most of her work to Gong Seung-yeon and focused on the second generation selection process.

    Whether the viewers cried out that they were starving to death or not.

    In the end, Majiya is not a Virtual YouTuber but an office worker.

    Until the debut of the second generation, Majiya was also facing a forced famine due to lack of time, and if Gong Seung-yeon hadn’t said, “I’ll clip only the fun scenes every day and send them to you when I finish work!” she might have ended up writing the interview results while keeping the broadcast on the side.

    In any case, the second generation is that important.

    Now that the first generation has firmly established its foundation, the second generation must also debut perfectly and splendidly to ensure that Parallel can move toward a bright future.

    Thus, the already strict acceptance criteria of Parallel became even stricter as it transitioned to the second generation.

    Batchu Batchu had already faced several situations where one person’s mistake caused trouble for the whole group.

    Since it’s a well-established large company, it managed to get through cleanly, but for a small business like Parallel, one similar accident could lead to a major crisis.

    That’s why the personnel manager asked Majiya to conduct the interviews and participate in the evaluations.

    If Majiya says something, it usually means that the person has outstanding talent but also carries significant problems (boyfriend issues, past controversies during broadcasts, etc.).

    By sorting these people out in advance, the amount of concern during the final stage was reduced.

    However, just like water that drips only a few drops after passing through multiple filters,

    The interviewees were no different.

    The competition rate for second generation applicants was double that of the first generation at 400:1,

    But just because the number of applicants increased doesn’t mean the number of successful candidates would increase as well.

    “… In the end, filtering it all leaves us with 2 people.”

    There was a reason Cheon Do-hee had been contemplating for four days from Friday to today, Monday.

    Majiya, surprised by the number that was only half, fiddled with the successful candidates’ documents and asked.

    “Will the remaining 2 be selected again from the hold list?”

    Cheon Do-hee sighed and muttered.

    “I want to do that too, but this time it might not be easy…?”

    A word from the author (author’s note)

    Happy New Year to everyone in the year of Eulsa!!!!

    This year, to win the lottery, I’m going to pray to Jia.

    Jia, I’ll eat pineapple pizza, so please bring me the winning lottery ticket…
