Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 157

Episode 157: Alligator’s Tears

“No, I mean I didn’t have any malicious intent or anything. Ugh… I’m sorry. I’ll think more and be more careful from now on.”

Mr. Cleanpanpol29: [Yes, I understand. The fact is, it’s Christmas today, so everyone can be a little more sensitive. And actually, Seo-Ah has been caught showing such behavior during monitoring before. I would appreciate it if you could hold back a bit.]

“Yep. I’ll keep that in mind.”

The image of me confidently raising my middle finger has completely disappeared.

Who would have guessed that Mr. Cleanpanpol, the self-appointed police of Pangea TV, would show up so suddenly?

Of course, the act of “ㅗ” wasn’t a serious violation, so it ended with just a simple verbal warning, but the problem was that I had been humiliated in front of the viewers.

– Wow, isn’t it usually the barely-dressed female streamers that Mr. Cleanpanpol shows up on Christmas? Daeseoa is the first to pull this off in virtual!

– I watched Daeseoa’s broadcast and hit three times, Daeseoa is indeed acknowledged.

[The expert on color innuendo has been forcefully removed.]

– But since this is Lucy’s broadcast, isn’t it Lucy who gets the warning and not Seo-A? LOL

“……”

“Ah, no, unnie, I’m really sorry. It’s not on purpose, sometimes my Second Personality just pops out unbeknownst to me……”

“Seoa, can you keep it down? I feel like that Second Personality thing is going to pop out of me too!”

“Eek!”

A normally quiet person becomes scarier when they get angry.

I shut my mouth and cautiously gauged the atmosphere.

Then, unable to hold it in anymore, Lucy burst out laughing and said,

“Haha, I’m just kidding. Mr. Cleanpanpol29 didn’t say anything to me. But Seoa, let’s be careful from now on, okay? It’s not good behavior.”

“Yeah, I got it.”

The fingers I raised in defiance had been sealed.

What a tragic situation this is!

Seeing the giggling viewers only fuels my anger.

Tilting my head slightly, I foretold that today would not be easy.

“Well, life with a red line like this is just how it is. Anyone can get caught once! I’ll just send you straight to the blacklist.”

If I curl up just because I was a bit humiliated, the atmosphere of the broadcast would just become awkward.

Instead, this is precisely when the tension needs to be raised.

How many times did I encounter situations like this when I was in sales before the regression?

I was someone who faced the world with a thick skin multiple times just to make a living.

“Mayo likes the former criminal Seoa unnie too. She wants to make mayonnaise bibimbap as a side dish.”

“Thanks to our Mayo, unnie might become a two-time criminal soon.”

The conversation of the V-Live Crew is lively from the very opening!

Yes, this is the kind of warm atmosphere that is right for Christmas.

To keep this heated momentum going, we jumped straight into current news.

“Speaking of my current situation, it’s pretty obvious. What’s there? Once I finish the architectural interior work, I run straight to the drug field to brew potions and fill my quota, then I go back to the interior work again…”

Oops!

Lucy’s avatar is looking straight ahead, yet for some reason, my side face feels hot.

I quickly changed the subject and called for Mayo.

“Mayo can’t play LoL lately, so she has been having withdrawal symptoms. Even while mining, she’s unknowingly alternating pressing qwer. Plus, while secretly farming Ender, she almost became cosmic dust because she was so sleepy.”

Mayo, the slave of mining and Ender farming, struck a sharp blow to my heart once again.

Wait, was today’s Christmas collaboration really just ‘Seo-A must d*e’ collaboration?

Surely Miho unnie isn’t in on this too?

Being older, she should understand that all the heavy responsibilities I give are for the crew.

“I’ve recently been watching architectural plans on YouTube, and I’m starting to wonder if I’ll really become an architectural designer in real life. This is also thanks to Daeseoa’s grace.”

“…… I’m not doing it!”

This isn’t just a concept; she’s genuinely upset.

I’m really feeling hurt.

How can everyone act like this?

Of course, I admit that I set the bar high.

After the regular broadcast, I suggested everyone join the secret meeting or take on other tasks.

I definitely pushed hard.

Still, everyone had the singular intention of wanting to see each other succeed.

While I acted like a tyrant in Minecraft, I took on most of the responsibilities outside of broadcasting, leading by example.

Yet, to think everyone had so many complaints.

Without realizing it, I bit my lip.

I could endure the malice of the unspecified multitude, but it’s hard not to waver emotionally when the people I thought were closest to me feel this way.

As the atmosphere became tense, the chat room stirred.

Hoo! I will hold on.

As the leader of the crew, I must ensure the Christmas special collaboration is a success.

I can talk things through with the members after the broadcast ends.

Just as I was calming my heart and about to throw out a remark to resume the broadcast, Lucy suddenly said something unexpected.

“Let’s take a moment to watch a video.”

Huh? A video? There wasn’t any video scheduled for release at this timing.

A bright screen appeared, showing three people gathered together on a VRC map.

Huh? When did they film this?

The home setting was bursting with Christmas vibes.

I could see a warm fireplace, and next to it stood a large Christmas tree.

All sorts of decorations were adorning the windows and walls.

In the center was a table covered with a pure white cloth, filled with various foods.

“Yay!”

“Happy Christmas, everyone.”

The three people joyfully waved their hands while looking at the screen.

I sat there, watching them dumbfounded.

Wait, what kind of video is this?

That curiosity was soon resolved by Mayo’s playful voice.

“This video is a hidden camera. We prepared it to cheer up Seoa unnie, who is definitely sulking. And I like you, Seoa unnie, right after mayonnaise. Um… I just realized I forgot to mention LoL. So, I like you third most!”

“Seoa, you’ve really worked hard handling all the beginner broadcasters alone this year. I still remember. You approached me when I was broadcasting alone on LebitTV, not knowing anything. And when I was nervous and struggling, you told me you were my fan. You can’t imagine how much courage that gave me. I’m really happy to know you.”

“Hmm. Do you remember the immigration inspection content we first did together? Since then, I’ve thought of Seoa as a reliable person I can trust and depend on, regardless of age. But, sometimes I worry. Are we relying too much on you, Seoa? That’s something I sincerely reflect on. Next year, I’ll work harder to help share the burdens with you.”

“V-Live fighting!” X3

The three concluded the video with poses that expressed their charms.

Simultaneously, a song began to play from the video.

[You were born to be loved,

Right now, you are receiving that love.]

No, no! Sudden forced sentimentality, what the heck is this!

Honestly, I was a bit choked up by the words that acknowledged my struggles all this time.

Upon realizing that all the criticisms directed at me had been for the hidden camera, I felt a sense of relief.

But truly, the strongest emotion was embarrassment.

This felt like being caught playing house at the age of 30.

Look at that, the malicious viewers are already revving up.

– Wow;; Are you not crying? Seoa, are you a T-monster? This is a bit disappointing.

– ㅠㅠ So touching that I cried up and down. This is what a crew is, and this is what emotion is, but why isn’t Seoa crying?

– Seoa, we’re all set up for the recording now, so go ahead and cry. And if you’re a sensical streamer, you know it’s standard to set the screen to three-way and cry, right?

Well, I am a T-monster, but…

Just a moment ago I was sulking, and if I suddenly start bawling after watching this video, I’d look really foolish.

As the leader of the V-Live crew, I have a duty to maintain a chic and cool image at all times!

“Seoa, are you really not going to cry? We worked hard to prepare this.”

“Seoa unnie is a merciless woman without bl**d or tears. That’s why she always plays Jungle mobs RPG.”

“Cough cough, Seoa. If you don’t cry now, this will become a controversy.”

“…… Ugh! Thank you so much, everyone. I’m touched.”

As Lucy divided the screen into three and set the stage, I couldn’t help but cry.

If tears wouldn’t come out, at least I could fake it.

Fortunately, there was technology in virtual.

With the press of one button, “Dtal-kak!” glistening tear drops like marbles would fall.

– LOL forced crying is so funny.

– Daeseoa for the Best Acting in Crying award this year, whoa;;

– Is this what they call alligator tears?

The viewers, who are genuinely having fun at my expense.

Just you wait.

Christmas isn’t over yet.
