Streaming Life After Paying Off Debt - Chapter 74

– This is a ended broadcast.

The broadcast quietly came to a close with Miju’s final words. Although the screen had turned completely black with only a notice message floating in the void, the viewers still remained, not leaving the studio.

– Wow… I really got fooled…

– For real, I never imagined that.

– I definitely got tricked, but I don’t feel too bad about it.

– No, for real hahahaha

Perhaps impressed by today’s broadcast, the viewers sat in the theater with the end of the show lingering in their minds. As a result, a strange situation unfolded where thousands of viewers congregated for a broadcast without a broadcaster.

– So to summarize today’s broadcast… You made Pepero for the viewers and donated all the money you received, right?

– No, I even got hacked today and lost hundreds of thousands of won;;;

– This is really crazy.

These were people filled with deep affection for Miju, having watched the live broadcast from start to finish. Typically, these viewers hid their emotions and maintained a malicious attitude, but today Miju’s actions were enough to break their masks.

– Shout it out! Miju God!

– I worship. GOAT

– If there is only one fan of Miju in the world…

– I just can’t hate this girl.

It seemed like their masks and heads were shattered at once as they poured out praises for Miju. Like a religious gathering, some began to express their discomfort at the blind praise for Miju.

– Saying there’s nothing to hate is a bit;;; I’ve seen several instances of eating and running.

– No, for real, no matter what, let’s not turn against our beloved ㅇㅇ;;

It was true that Miju had caused various accidents in the past, so their statements sounded somewhat plausible. If the same content had been posted in the gallery, it might have received considerable support.

However, unfortunately, this was not a gallery; it was Miju’s broadcasting station. Such remarks were akin to blasphemy among the tightly-knit group of people filled with affection for Miju.

– I’m the one who got scammed out of donations; have you ever been scammed? hahahaha

– For real hahaha The actual parties are just sitting there, and who are you to say this?

– Aah, Gunbbang! Is it you again?

– Free viewers that don’t contribute money, please leave~

The one committing blasphemy was bombarded with criticism. A situation where thousands of people were attacking me. While Miju would have been accustomed to such events, it was an unbearable pressure for an ordinary person.

– Crazy female streamer, this is wild…

Ultimately, the viewer who made the negative remark left the chatroom with a last word. Then, as if they had never been angry, the viewers began to praise Miju again.

– Miju pretends she doesn’t, but she really thinks about her viewers a lot, you know?

– For real hahaha In roulette broadcasts and no-end broadcasts. She does everything we ask for, haha.

– The donation I sent here, I did the exact same thing on another broadcast, but I got blacklisted hahaha

– Being blacklisted is fortunate; some female streamers just end the broadcast when they feel down…

– No, that’s crazy hahaha

The more they shared experiences from other streams, the more awe-inspiring Miju’s actions became, causing the viewers’ excitement to reach its boiling point.

And at that moment, a strange phenomenon occurred.

– But what happens to the remaining donations? Is the manager going to take it? (This message has been deleted.)

– ????

– What? Who deleted it???

One of the viewers who had been laughing and chatting was found lifeless! In this shocking situation, the viewers began to search for the culprit.

– ? Why was that deleted?

– Did the manager delete it?

– There’s no manager in this room…

– Um, they gave manager status to those who donated a lot last time.

– But they took all that down the very next day.

– ? Then…

It didn’t take long for the identity of the culprit to be revealed.

This place was essentially an equal space for everyone except for one person. Those with authority to delete chats were predetermined.

Realizing this fact, the viewers burst into laughter.

– This girl was lurking, hahahaha

– Mijuh~

– You only spoke up when I hit a nerve, huh? hahahaha

– If you’re going to be watching the chatroom, just turn on the broadcast!!!

The viewers who discovered the truth greeted Miju with friendly greetings. However, despite everything being exposed, Miju remained silent.

Annoyed, the viewers began a summoning ritual to wake Miju up.

– But seriously, is it just 1 million won donated from the money received? (This message has been deleted.)

– 950,000 won cough~ (This message has been deleted.)

The conflict between those trying to draw her out and those wanting her to remain silent continued for a while. What seemed like a battle that could go on indefinitely entered a brief lull with a single chat.

– But seriously, this could get you into legal trouble.

The chat generated an atmosphere of unease in the chatroom. While Miju was contemplating whether to delete this chat as well, the viewers continued their conversation.

– If you initially intended to keep the money for yourself, that would be irrelevant, but you said you collected it to donate to needy neighbors in the end, right?

– If it’s money collected for donation, it falls under the donation law.

– So the moment you keep the remaining money for yourself, it becomes embezzlement;;

The reality learned from this was very harsh for Miju. If she didn’t act quickly, the next broadcast might take place from a police station, and the viewers displayed reactions such as:

– Hahaha

– Violence, fraud, and now embezzlement? hahaha

– No, there’s indecency too hahaha

– Dae-Miju

– How many counts is this, hahaha

The image of those who had just praised Miju had completely vanished, and now the viewers were eager to laugh at her. Knowing Miju’s past, they thought this crisis was merely a trivial affair, like tea time after a meal.

Watching them, Miju finally broke her long silence and typed a short message.

– Miju: This is insane…

That was the last post before Miju disappeared from the chatroom. A moment later, a post appeared on Tgdder.

┌──────────┐

Thanks to all of you for being so interested, I donated again after the ending!

——-

Thank you. I will use the donation wisely.

Donor’s Name: Miju and the viewers.

Donation Amount: 1 million won.

——-

Once again, thank you for your support.

– Disgraceful. Miju haha

– If Miju hurried to donate because she fears being sued, thumbs down~

– How does a streamer’s career entail assault, fraud, and embezzlement? hahaha

– But at least she put in her own money to match it to 1 million won, hahaha

└──────────┘

Fortunately, no more issues arose after that.

——————–

“Ugh…”

I was standing before the wrapped Pepero bags, voicing my worries.

“Which one should I give?”

At first glance, the bags looked identical, but there was a reason for my dilemma.

Unable to forget the humiliation of the past, I had focused on making Pepero using capsaicin after the broadcast ended.

As a result, I was able to create Pepero that returned from hell, and the bag to my right contained that very Pepero.

“This is the right turn, but…”

As it was a special Pepero with my secret sauce, there could only be one recipient. This box was meant for that glorious individual; however, the address written outside made me hesitate.

“No matter how I think about it, it seems like that place…”

Initially, I merely thought it was near where I lived, but the growing sense of déjà vu troubled me. Eventually, I searched the address on the internet, and it was then that I could clearly identify the source of the déjà vu.

“What should I do?”

Having realized the identity, I continued to be engulfed in worry.

Should I give the edible Pepero since they’re an acquaintance, or should I rather give an even more special specialized Pepero because they are an acquaintance?

“Ugh, I don’t know!”

My head filled with confusion from the ongoing dilemma, I ultimately threw whatever I could grab into the box.

A few days later, the review from the first winner who received the chocolate was posted on Tgdder.

┌──────────┐

Look at this girl Miju.

[Emergency Room Diagnosis]

I ate the chocolate you gave, and I was taken straight to the emergency room. They kept asking me what I ate in the ambulance, but I couldn’t bring myself to say Pepero, d*mn it…

Anyway, after getting IV fluids and medication, when I returned…

[Picture of red liquid stuck to the table]

The Pepero I didn’t finish melted and stuck to the table.

d*mn it… It took 3 hours for the spicy smell to go away.

[Photo of my cafe]

I run a cafe, and when customers came to drink coffee, they fled after smelling the spiciness, hahahaha…

You better believe I’ll send you a bill for damages later, and if the police reach out, just know I’m aware.

P.S. Anyone wanting to try Miju’s handmade Pepero, come to my cafe. I have 9 left…

– Did you really eat that? hahahaha

– Hahaha, season 1 winner, shoutout!

– I’d use it for decoration if I got one, hahahaha

– Miju laced the Pepero with poison!!!

– What? Miju’s handmade Pepero? I’m heading there right now.

└──────────┘

“Uh… um…”

As I read the post on Tgdder, I glanced out the window. There stood the cafe where I used to work part-time in the past.
