131 – Magic, Maketh, Madness (3)

131 – Magic, Maketh, Madness (3)

Specific.

A social audio feature supported by Z, it serves as a means for Virtual YouTubers, who often require advanced equipment to broadcast, to provide fan service in environments where it’s difficult to turn on their streams, much like a radio.

Voices like those just after waking up or just before falling asleep.

Since it allows listeners to imagine it’s like having a real girlfriend next to them, even though it’s very brief, it was content that true fans absolutely couldn’t miss.

“So, what are your plans from now on, Princess? Will you share them with your mother?”

In this space, Bajubi generously showcased the voice he had shown every two months.

He was just so excited about the joint dubbing play with Majiya that he did his best, which only heightened expectations for Majiya.

It was a pressure that someone he hadn’t expected to take RP seriously would be doing so.

— Princess, you must speak now~

— Are you going to stay quiet when your mother calls? Haha

— Princess~

— Please respond!!

— Princess, hehehe

Of course, most were just expecting Majiya to act cute with her adorable voice or do something charming and fail.

It didn’t matter whether she did well or poorly.

As long as she did something, they could clip it and keep it for later.

There were so many people filled with a sense of revenge against Majiya watching this broadcast.

However, Majiya never acted in a way that matched the voice of a “10-year-old princess” as people generally imagined.

She had promised Bajubi beforehand that it was okay to speak as she usually did, and as the host of this broadcast had said multiple times, it was Bajubi, wasn’t it?

Just like during the collaboration with the first generation, when there was a prominent Virtual YouTuber next to her, Majiya never tried to elevate herself.

Since Bajubi had started with a casual tone, the viewers were surprised when a casual remark came out instead of the expected polite speech.

“Mother, I’m only ten years old, so I don’t want to bear such heavy responsibilities. To put it simply, I don’t want to be a princess. I’d rather watch the court dancers play during that time. Please understand.”

— ?

— Hahaha

— No, haha

— Act like a princess, haha

— This is just Precious baby, haha

— She seems just like Majiya usually…? Haha

— If this continues, we can’t clip it, ahhhhhhh

Surprisingly, Majiya’s Precious baby dubbing wasn’t that different from the princess image in the work “Never Cry, Princess.”

It’s a game where a princess is raised to become a great adult while shouldering heavy responsibilities at a young age.

Ten years old? It’s the age where one doesn’t know much about the world, hanging out with friends, or getting so absorbed in something that they lose track of time.

Even Bajubi could tell that he actually liked Majiya’s seemingly careless dubbing.

“She’s just like the princess I expected…! Still young, not knowing much about the world, and being playful… I like it…!”

“Jubie, you need to focus, focus.”

“Ah, um. I’m sorry, I got carried away by my cute daughter’s appearance.”

Anyway, that’s how the character of the princess was decided in a haphazard manner.

A unique personality that finds joy in the court dancers’ dances and their playful interactions.

And since “Never Cry, Princess” is a game with a lot of freedom, there were indeed similar traits that existed as starting characteristics for the princess character.

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

:: Ah, haha, it’s Precious baby, haha ::

Right away, “Falling for the dancers.”

Whenever something happens, she runs to the dancers, making normal game progress difficult, so people don’t choose it often. It was something that randomly came along when deciding traits for high-difficulty challenges.

Bajubi personally chose that trait and attached it to the princess character, then said to Majiya.

“Okay… since you’re still young, act freely for a while. But you must not act in a way that brings disgrace to the royal family.”

“Got it!”

— Oh dear, haha

— Instead of studying and training, she’s just watching dancers, haha

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

:: Not doing what she’s supposed to (debut), falling for the dancers (Simp)… huh? ::

— ?

— Oh

— Hahahahahaha

— What? She’s just a normal Majiya

No matter how you look at it, it was a trait close to a debuff.

But there was no trait that suited Majiya better than this one, which was consumed by the disobedient Precious baby concept.

As soon as she heard about a newly debuted dancer from a neighboring country from a storyteller she secretly met, she was just like an immature ten-year-old daughter begging Bajubi.

“Mother, I heard there are dancers in the neighboring kingdom who dance so well. I really want to go see them. Please let me go.”

— This is way longer than the original text, hahahaha

— Uh oh

— Look at that selfishness, haha

— If she goes, she’ll be kidnapped right away, haha

— Oh, Precious baby, come on!!

But “Never Cry, Princess”

As the title suggests, it’s quite a harsh game for the princess.

If bored, she gets kidnapped. If bored, she gets poisoned. If bored, she gets cursed.

If she doesn’t have the means to protect herself or doesn’t spend a considerable amount of money on security, going outside the kingdom leads straight to a bad ending.

If you raise her well while having the Falling for the dancers trait, you can complete one of the happy endings, “Celestial Dancer.”

But the difficulty of that was among the worst of the worst.

The princess, even the royal princess, is only interested in dancing and singing instead of studying state affairs, so how would people look at her?

Enemies attack the princess from all sides, and during that, the player (the queen) can also get assassinated, with events pushing towards a bad ending coming nonstop.

The queen must survive for it not to be a bad ending.

While overcoming all the enemies’ schemes, maintaining the dignity of royalty, the princess must become a dancer without stepping down from her position as a princess to complete the “Celestial Dancer” ending.

There are so many things to worry about, and since the game can suddenly break, even seasoned players never played this route again after clearing it once.

… However, as mentioned earlier, today Bajubi’s gameplay had the purpose of “full dubbing” and role-playing.

Majiya didn’t seem to be acting properly, but that was just from the viewers’ perspective.

Bajubi was quite satisfied with Majiya, who was embodying Precious baby and instinctively choosing options.

“Will you give me a month? The road to the neighboring country is dangerous, so I need a little preparation.”

“Oh no, I don’t want to wait. I want to see them right now. I want to see them, want to see them, want to see them, want to see them, want to see them.”

— It’s Jia’s, it’s Jia’s!!!!!!!!!!

— It’s Jambi’s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

— I feel like I’m going to lose my mind, hahahaha

— You little brat!!

The ones who were dissatisfied were the viewers who were just waiting for Majiya to break down.

It was impossible not to feel like they had been tricked again.

Full dubbing, they said.

Especially with Bajubi, who was acting like a queen so well beside her, and all Majiya was doing was whining in her usual Precious baby tone.

Of course, since her usual voice sounded so childlike, it didn’t feel out of place, but what they wanted was entirely different, so it was understandable that they were frustrated.

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

:: You’ve cleared it, so just act like a princess properly! ::

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

:: I came here because you said it was a princess… but this isn’t what a princess is!! ::

However, these people were those who were prepared to get banned.

Having been tricked by Majiya several times, those who had seeped into Parallel were already resigned and busy clipping Majiya’s moments.

It was quite different from the adorable princess they had expected, but her repeating “I want to see you” while throwing a tantrum was still somewhat cute.

One could say it was unavoidable to want to give a little punch to the kids they saw in reality. But who knows, maybe when they show this to Majiya later, she’ll be embarrassed and call it a dark history.

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

:: Instead of telling her to act like a princess, get one more clip, haha. If not, this will definitely become ‘a memory that doesn’t exist.’ ::

Despite the viewers’ worries, today’s broadcast could become a good memory for Bajubi, and Majiya wouldn’t brush it off as a forgotten memory.

— What?

— It’s possible for Majiya.

— Mabu’s fairness, wow.

— Really dirty and ugly, Majiya!!

— Bajubi’s precious memory, ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

One donation spread fear, and naturally, the subsequent comments about the princess not acting like a princess disappeared.

And as Majiya ignored the viewers’ requests and stubbornly acted like Precious baby, people’s gazes gradually shifted towards Bajubi.

“I understand. Go and come back. I will prepare right away.”

“Mother is the best!!”

Every time Majiya insisted on going to the neighboring country like just now, Bajubi was reflecting that behavior in the actual game schedule, and the more she did, the exponentially higher the difficulty of clearing became.

Yet, since a bad ending didn’t appear and the game somehow kept going, the viewers couldn’t help but be puzzled.

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

:: But why isn’t a bad ending coming out? ::

It wasn’t that they were lucky enough to avoid a ridiculous event.

Even seasoned players had to resort to the last means of save loading due to the many crises.

Bajubi was progressing excellently through the game in real-time without any retries.

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

:: Can’t you see? You’re dodging the death flags right now, haha. ::

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

:: With the Falling for the dancers trait, this is pretty impressive, haha. ::

But that didn’t mean the dubbing was done carelessly.

During the progress, when the distant royal family barged into the office to strip Princess Majiya of her royal status, her fierce retort was filled with enough emotion to be talked about for a long time.

Even though she was just reciting pre-written lines, it was undoubtedly dubbing that could be recognized as method acting.

“Everyone. If you’re going to discuss responsibilities with a mere fourteen-year-old child, then you might as well remove me from the throne.

You could hold me accountable for raising my daughter poorly, couldn’t you?

Ah, are you afraid that could lead to civil war? If you create a clear charge, the justification would be established… Ah, is that difficult because I would interfere? That’s unfortunate.”

Moreover, she was faithfully responding to things related to the game during donations and chats.

She didn’t make the common mistake of ignoring the viewers while focusing on playing with friends during the collaboration.

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

:: Your Majesty, you must be having a hard time raising Precious baby… ::

“No. It’s something I must do as a mother, so don’t praise me.”

— ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— Great mother

— Oh, I’m crying, ㅠㅠ

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

:: But has this person always played Neckfr? ::

— Uh

— I’ve played it when bored.

— The housewife group is honestly a bit boring.

— How much have you played? Haha

— About a week a month, I’d say…?

— When DLC comes out, I’d play it all month… ::

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

:: I don’t only play Neckfr, I like management sims too. ::

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

:: At least when I’m gaming, I don’t care about people, I only care when talking to them. ::

Naturally, the newly arrived viewers became interested in what kind of games Bajubi enjoyed.

Friendly turret viewers began to explain who Bajubi was, saying they didn’t care.

During that process, the immersion of those who thought, “Oh? This is my taste,” skyrocketed.

Thus, about two hours later.

When Bajubi pierced through all of Majiya’s absurdities and saw the “Celestial Dancer” ending, most people couldn’t help but be amazed.

[ Celestial Dancer ]

: The world laughed at you and your daughter Majiya. But you succeeded in fulfilling your daughter’s one and only dream. She will trust you no matter what happens in the future, and she will do anything for you.

~Happy End~

— Wowwwwwwwww

— Wow, they actually did it, haha

— Majiya only got in the way, how did they manage this? Haha

— Great Jubie

— Oh, mother, ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— This is truly a fitting ending for Children’s Day.

— You’re the best, Bajubi.

As the chat said, on Children’s Day, it was a perfect clear that fulfilled a child’s dream—albeit Majiya’s.

Everyone seemed satisfied with the touching conclusion, even though they had come to create Majiya’s dark history.

If it had just been a dubbing play, they wouldn’t have felt this level of emotion.

Because Majiya had been stubborn and obstructive throughout, everyone stood on the opposite side, hoping for Bajubi to clear it.

Even though she had done it on purpose the whole time, Majiya provoked the viewers until the end.

“Mother, did I only get in the way of what you were doing? Was I a bad daughter?”

— Oh, this Precious baby!

— It was harder because of you, hahahahaha

— Sigh, the princess didn’t act cute at all…

— Well, it’s Majiya, so what can you expect?

Bajubi responded to that, and the chat became a sea of tears.

“No, I love you just as you are, so it’s okay.”

— ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— Oh, I’m crying, ㅠㅠ

— Mother!!!!!!

— Oh my god, ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— Oh, we were short-sighted…

In fact, if the broadcast had ended there, everyone would have left somewhat satisfied, even though it was a completely different conclusion from the original purpose.

After all, they had thought Majiya would be the only one putting on a magic show throughout the broadcast.

But when they pulled back the curtain, it turned out to be a lot of fun, like a collaboration with two genuinely good broadcasters.

So it wouldn’t have mattered if it ended warmly.

However, Bajubi’s exuberance didn’t stop.

She was still a queen who had raised the princess upright.

“Does our princess love her mother a lot too?”

In a situation where a line was set that she wanted to be heard.

At the point of seeing the ending, the daughter was already deeply in love with her mother.

The words the princess had to say to the queen, who had listened to all her childish stubbornness, were already determined.

— Could she say it?

— Will she?

— Please

— Oh, would Majiya actually say it? Haha

— After all that, you’re still expecting?

The line that, according to the chat reactions, Majiya would normally skip was indeed correct.

However, hadn’t Majiya come out to apologize to Bajubi and join her today?

If she wanted to hear those words, she could say it at least once for today.

…However, that would only be if it was for Bajubi, who held her feelings of apology.

Soon Majiya spoke.

“Yeah, I love you, Mom!”

Since the microphone volume was muted, what reached the viewers after a three-second broadcast delay was Majiya’s heartfelt smile and her lips moving.

Clearly, it looked like she was saying something, but since no sound was heard, the viewers fell into despair.

A person representing the shocked viewers expressed their frustration through a donation.

:: PIN0 donated 1,000 Clouds! ::

:: Why only Bajubi, why only you, why me, why, why, why, why? I’m going to turn dark, I’m going to blacken, I’m going to grow horns, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive. I want to hear I love you too, heheheheh. ::

A word from the author (author’s note)

Today, I made a proper reservation and fell asleep on the Mankbong…..!!!!!!

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

… Now that I say it, I feel embarrassed.

I’ve posted Majiya, the Demon King of Wicker Town, drawn by Baekhwa-ryeong in the fan art board!!

Such an immense presence…!
