Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 184

Episode 184: Disbandment (2)

Everyone knew it, even if they didn’t say anything.

That Elsa felt out of place in the Decrescendo Crew.

In fact, it was perhaps to be expected.

The crew had been formed for less than two months.

But excluding Elsa, everyone had already built up friendships prior.

Park Nana and Baio had met in middle school at the Naver Voice Actor Cafe, and their bond lasted over ten years, so they were essentially out of the question!

Park Nana, Seolpyo-woo, and Mu-yo belonged to the same group since the second round of the Ugaidol Audition and had formed a close relationship by gathering to laugh and chat on Discord whenever there was no broadcast.

In other words, the four had already established a tight bond, even before Elsa joined as the last member.

Everyone must have realized this.

It is not easy for a new person to insert themselves into an already formed social network.

To achieve that, considerable time, the active personality of the person involved, and effort would be necessary.

But unfortunately, Elsa did not have the luxury of that.

Before challenging the Ugaidol Audition, she was active as a virtual member of the Kyeongsa Company during her ‘previous life.’

Even after joining Decrescendo, she had a remaining contract period as a corporate virtual and, while she sought approval, she had to devote considerable time and mental energy to organize that activity.

And surprisingly, there were many other tasks as well.

Perhaps due to financial insufficiency, it felt like a side job, but she was also busy with tasks outside of broadcasting, which led fans to give her the nickname “Four Hearts.”

Naturally, she was busy all day with no time, making it inevitable that she would fall short in activities with Decrescendo and bonding with the crew members.

Moreover, Elsa was in a rather impatient state.

Her previous corporate virtual activities had ended in failure, followed by her elimination from the Ugaidol Audition.

Ongoing failures instilled a compulsion to succeed.

Therefore, Elsa may have felt that she absolutely could not miss out on the opportunity for success presented to her.

She actually revealed this on her broadcast.

Since a really good opportunity had come, it seemed right to focus on personal broadcasts for the time being.

Ultimately, it was a difference in values and a consequence of forming the crew too hastily.

Even among family members who share bl**d, all sorts of disputes arise, so how much more so among people who have known each other for less than two months?

“Decrescendo’s core was ultimately Nana. Although everyone worked hard in meetings, many shared the opinion that Decrescendo was meaningless without Nana, so we ultimately voted, and it was decided that we would disband. Everyone must be heartbroken. I am also very heartbroken. I really tried to convince Nana when she wanted to quit. And I wanted to protect the crew until the end, and now that it has come to this, my heart is really…”

Elsa was conducting her broadcast for some time.

But suddenly, the chat room became chaotic as mentions of Seolpyo-woo starting a broadcast appeared.

And the broadcast screen or title seemed suspicious.

The viewers rushed out to Seolpyo-woo’s broadcast.

In that moment, I had a gut feeling.

History repeats itself.

A completely dark broadcast screen where nothing is visible.

The viewer count quickly broke through 5,000 and kept rising.

People have a sense of foreboding.

A feeling that something unusual will happen in today’s broadcast.

And that sense was not wrong.

“There was a member who had friction from the very beginning of forming the crew. We really wanted to be together and were coordinating, working hard to adjust, but that person never changed. We regretted forming the crew too hastily without knowing each other well.”

– Wow;; Is this real? Is someone among the crew revealing the cause of the disbandment?

– Crazy lol A friend who had friction from the start? There are only two candidates, right? Park Nana and Mu-yo have been together since the beginning.

– This… it must be about Elsa, right? (hint)

Seolpyo-woo was speaking with a trembling voice about the reason for turning on the broadcast.

Park Nana’s actions of attending the meeting on her phone due to her responsibility as a leader, even after being hospitalized due to stress.

It was heartbreaking to see someone who had worked so hard being pointed out as the reason for the crew’s disbandment and being cursed by fans.

“What I truly want to say is… if it’s a crew! If we’ve decided to be together until the end, shouldn’t the crew’s collaborations and content be prioritized? Delaying collaborations for the sake of personal broadcasts is really…”

Panpoll29 [Hello, Seolpyo-woo. This is Panpoll29. Please check the manager chat.]

In principle, it was forbidden on Pangea TV to target other streamers during broadcasts.

Panpoll29, who had been secretly observing, realized this was a violation of the rules and intervened.

Ultimately, Seolpyo-woo’s broadcast ended without warning.

The viewers hurried back to Elsa’s broadcast and began causing chaos in the chat room.

Seolpyo-woo’s targeting had meant that Elsa was being pointed out as the cause of the crew’s disbandment.

However, here Elsa displayed an unprecedented ‘Goat’ response.

Calmly switching to fan chat, she asked what the situation was.

Then quickly assessed the situation.

Seolpyo-woo had targeted someone, and the appearance of Panpoll29 had forced the broadcast to end.

And that someone was suspected to be ‘Elsa.’

In this situation, Elsa did not show any aggressive response or reaction.

Rather, she softly responded that there seemed to be some ‘misunderstanding’ and that she would talk with the members again and inform them of the results.

Targeting on Pangea TV is a frightening act as it can result in a backlash if there is no clear evidence.

Seolpyo-woo, who was still a novice in broadcasting, did not know this.

Eventually, Elsa’s broadcast ended, and time flowed indifferently.

Nonetheless, the fans could not sleep and were setting the community abuzz as they debated who was at fault, setting up the arena until dawn.

Then around 1 AM, Park Nana posted an announcement addressing the current situation.

It was true there had been disagreements and conflicts among the crew members, and such issues should have been resolved privately, but publicly targeting others was a truly wrong action.

The gist was that she would mediate between the two and ensure Seolpyo-woo apologizes to Elsa.

Only then could people confirm that the person Seolpyo-woo had targeted was indeed Elsa.

Moreover, they could learn more about the intimate details behind Decrescendo’s disbandment.

– In the end, as suspected, there were conflicts regarding personal broadcasts and crew activities, and while trying to coordinate as a leader, Park Nana threw the log away and ran away! However, the next day the remaining members voted as no one would take up the log and exploded the crew? Oh? But after the crew exploded, the person who usually focused on personal broadcasts stated that they really wanted to protect the crew? Although there were ongoing issues, this was unacceptable! Seolpyo-woo turned on the broadcast and targeted!

n- Wow;; This person is at least an essay first-class writer.

n- This is 100% Seolpyo-woo’s fault. Regardless of how unpleasant it was, wasn’t it an issue that needed to be resolved between the two privately? This is a mentality of wanting to cut off the other’s livelihood.

n- Park Nana also said this is Seolpyo-woo’s fault and he must apologize.

– I’m a Decrescendo fan, and I’m really thankful.

After the Ugaidol Audition ended, I immersed myself in watching the broadcasts for two months, so thanks for leaving me with the worst memory as a conclusion. Thanks to you, I guess I can quit streaming and live a healthy life.

n- Uh… I have a feeling you’ll be watching streams again in a few days.

n- But the unpleasantness is the truth. If you genuinely thought about the fans, would you have disbanded like this?

n- In the end, it will be Seolpyo-woo who gets blamed.

– I just don’t want to see any of this, starting with Park Nana, who irresponsibly abandoned everything, to Elsa, who prioritized personal streams over the crew, and Seolpyo-woo who is targeting without any sense of profession or colleague awareness.

n- Have you only watched streaming for a day or two? LOL This level is just cute. At least it’s not involved in any crime.

n- Why are you so worked up over these unknown figures? Just focus on the main broadcasts.

n- You’re leaving comments in the community at 2 AM while worrying about unknown figures? Take care of your own life.

Then, about 20 minutes later, Seolpyo-woo’s apology announcement was posted.

Seolpyo-woo experienced the backlash from the targeting.

Comments criticising and condemning Seolpyo-woo flooded in from the announcement to replays and fan cafes.

This was not going to end in a day.

Even when the sun rose and he would turn on an apology broadcast in the afternoon, he would be subjected to ridicule, and every time Elsa was involved afterward, this incident would come back up and be mentioned.

Above all, the image of targeting a fellow streamer had been etched into the minds of many viewers.

Conversely, at around 4 AM, Elsa’s announcement was posted.

Despite being targeted, she rather expressed feeling like she did something wrong and detailed her thoughts in a lengthy, comprehensive manner, receiving tremendous praise in the community for how to write an apology note, saying it was the quintessential example of an apology.

“Seolpyo-woo just acted foolishly. He couldn’t control his momentary emotions and overreacted…”

If this ability to respond can be evaluated as political skill, Elsa would be rated an A, while Seolpyo-woo would get an F.

By now, it was 4:30 AM.

The community was still ablaze.

This fire would likely last for about two days unless a new development emerged.

Huh? A giant among the Decrescendo crew has fallen, and it’s only going to last two days?

I repeatedly mention that it’s Decrescendo among the viewers, but in the main stream of Pangea TV, it’s just a slightly larger figure among the unknowns.

Luckily, there are many viewers active in the community, and the issue of targeting is sensitive, so it’s a hot topic.

“Right, it’s only that much. Presently, the virtuals on Pangea TV…”

I blinked my weary eyes while watching Decrescendo’s bittersweet exit.

I was tired.

But it was worth it to stick around until the end.

The end of Decrescendo offered enough lessons for our crew.

“Such conclusions must never happen.”

As I made that promise, chills ran down my spine.

Wasn’t I pushing the crew members too harshly recently?

Suddenly, the image of Mayo targeting me flashed in my mind.

Ahem! Should I give everyone a break today?

V-Live is safe, everyone!
