Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 248
Episode 248: Seo-Ah’s Birthday (2)
I never expected to receive a congratulatory video that roasted me on my birthday.
At first, I felt a surge of betrayal and anger, but the viewers’ reactions were overwhelmingly positive, so I had to let it go.
It seems that even on my birthday, I can’t let go of the clown position; it’s the fate of a streamer.
In the meantime, birthday congratulatory candies poured in again.
Now, in addition to 125, there were also occasional donations of 1,250.
Looking at the nicknames, most were from Seo-Ah’s fans who had been watching the broadcast for a long time.
Of course, saying “long” only means that I debuted last September and it hasn’t been even half a year yet.
While I poured out my thanks in a daze, I continued working on the candy wallpaper.
The amount was so large that despite cleverly overlapping the images to only show the nickname and candy quantity, the bottom of the broadcast screen was already occupied.
Whether that thumbnail had an effect or not, the passersby paused their steps, and a few among them even donated birthday candies.
Before I knew it, the number of viewers had surpassed 2,500.
Thinking the atmosphere had matured, I asked Bebetang to put on the party hat I had prepared in advance.
– Oh haha, you prepared a party hat for your birthday!
– For real, looking like that makes you seem so cute and youthful.
– The gap between the cute appearance and the scene of Seo-Ah bossing around Rissle Company members is… ugh!
“That was all maliciously edited footage, so don’t believe it. I treated the workers… no, the Chun-sik so lovingly.”
– Nah~~ I saw it all in the live broadcast, and the replay is still available.
– For real lol.
– Seo-Ah is the infamous tyrant of Lena World.
“Che! Anyway, the video was manipulated. From now on, let’s take some time to look at the congratulatory messages for me on the fan cafe.”
The ensuing event on the fan cafe was a healing time for me.
Yes, this is what a birthday broadcast should feel like.
Fan-made videos filled with heartfelt fan sentiments for me.
Awkwardly drawn pictures of my virtual avatar.
There was even a video of someone playing the guitar and singing a birthday song.
“What is a streamer like me, really… Thank you all so much.”
Having also made videos for Lucy and learned AI production, their sincere efforts warmed my heart even more.
Wanting to keep the emotional atmosphere, the manager, saying it was time, demanded to play Birthday Video 2.
“……”
I felt a bit uneasy after getting hit on the back of the head once.
But they wouldn’t overstep again, knowing the situation.
Cautiously, I played Birthday Video 2.
– Hi Seo-Ah! It’s Miho! Happy Birthday!
Phew! Thankfully, the video was of the type I had initially expected.
A compilation of interviews from acquaintances congratulating the streamer on their birthday.
It was basically a birthday broadcast ‘national rule’ that gave a glimpse into the streamer’s connections.
– I’m the older sister, but I’m sorry for relying on you so much because you’re so capable. Starting this year, I’ve taken on managing the official YouTube channel, so I’ll try harder. And above all, I love you, our leader~♥
“Uh, yeah. Th-thank you….”
Why do my hands and feet curl up just hearing such comments?
I awkwardly smiled at the sight of Miho’s avatar winking and making finger hearts.
Yes, from this year, Miho has decided to take charge of the V-Live official YouTube channel.
If Miho does her job reliably, my workload will significantly decrease.
– Oh wow, what’s the relationship between those two?
– I’m rooting for this couple!
– Polar Bears are crying today, having lost their habitat ㅠ
Following Miho, Supniti, Han A-yeon, and Na-roshi appeared, expressing their gratitude towards me and pledging to work harder as part of V-Live Company. Mayo still goofed around, declaring she’d crush my nose in the “Destruction Battle.”
No, it’s my birthday today, right?
You should be congratulating me, not announcing your aspirations for the Destruction Battle!
Unexpected streamers also appeared.
Oh Young-jun and Oh-ha revealed their friendship while sending birthday messages, and Wangko, who had grown closer after the recent vehicle auction, made a surprise appearance that amazed the viewers.
– Wow;; I expected Oh Young-jun and Oh-ha, but Wangko really surprised me.
– Look at Seo-Ah’s connections, dang;; even the large company filmed a birthday video?
– Soon, it will be the era of the ‘V-Emperor’ Daeseoa!
And the grand finale was a video from Lucy.
– Seo-Ah, our first stage together. That one word where you called me a fan gave me courage. From shifting platforms to our crew life together. Everything I am now is thanks to you. Please continue to take care of me. Seo-Ah, happy birthday!
Lucy was once a fan of mine but has now become a fellow streamer, yet she remains a special presence in my heart.
Indeed! That’s what a favorite is.
That’s the case even recently.
There are moments when I inadvertently zone out while watching Lucy.
It’s like revisiting memories from the three years we spent together before my regression.
Mayo would pout, saying I only looked at Lucy differently, not knowing anything about it.
Even now, I briefly fell into a similar reflection.
Even when I was Seo Min-jun before my regression, Lucy would sing me a happy birthday song.
The present and the past overlap perfectly.
[Miho donated 1,250 candies.]
– Ta-da! Seo-Ah, happy birthday! You’re officially 24 now. Hurry up and grow older so you can feel what it’s like to be an older sister like me.
[Mayo donated 1,250 candies.]
– My birthday is March 19. So, Seo-Ah, you have to donate 3,190 candies on my birthday. It’s a great deal.
[Lucy donated 1,250 candies.]
– Seo-Ah, let’s give our concert our best shot. I’ll support you this time…
Whether they were secretly watching my broadcast while logged out, the crew members suddenly appeared at the timing that matched the end of the video, showering me with birthday congratulatory candies.
Then Supniti, Han A-yeon, and Na-roshi also donated candies.
Before I knew it, the candy donation wallpapers had covered nearly the entire screen.
That eye-catching thumbnail had captured the attention of the passersby, and the viewer count had surpassed 4,000.
“Over 4,000 viewers for a birthday broadcast? The influence of Lena World is insane.”
Typically, it’s rare for passersby to flock like this even for a birthday broadcast.
Normally, only the regular viewers or fans of the crew members come to watch.
I might not see this scale of viewers again on my birthday next year.
[Seo-A Broadcast (Gender Neutral) donated 1,250 candies.]
[Seo-A Broadcast (Gender Neutral) donated 1,250 candies.]
– Please stop threatening me with messages, Seo-Ah ㅠㅠ I already contributed a lot during the construction funding, and this is all that’s left. I’m sorry! Next time, I’ll pick up some cans to gather more!
“Hey, stop making strange fabrications. Normally, today would be a chat ban kind of day, but since it’s a good day, I’ll let it slide. And thank you for your donations.”
As the turn of the streamers passed, the d*e-hard fans, who had been carefully watching, began to show off their presence by donating large amounts.
The candy donation images were steadily piling up.
The candy donation gauge in the upper right corner had now surpassed 80,000.
– Is something big coming soon? There’s a class of chairman here ㄷㄷ
– Wow, just a little more, and we’ll hit 100,000.
– Chairman up, chairman up, chairman up!
During the last land-mark construction funding, the chairman had contributed so heavily that a strange atmosphere emerged among the viewers.
While the true fans remained calm, the dopamine-fueled passersby kept inducing that atmosphere.
They likely just wanted to see an explosion of candy donations, hence the encouragement for that vibe.
“Hey, viewers. I know this sounds a bit odd in this joyful atmosphere, but I hope there’s not a vibe of enticing donations from the chairman and d*e-hard fans during my broadcast. Honestly, I’m so grateful for the support you gave during the last construction funding that I can’t even find the words to express it. It’s not like I tasked the fans with the candies; if you donate voluntarily, I’m truly grateful. If not, just enjoy the broadcast and chat as you wish.”
– Wow;; look at Daeseoa’s mindset.
– Yeah, this is how it should be. For real, some streamers treat d*e-hard fans well only when they donate, and if they sense that the money is running low, they start being rude.
– This is also a blessing from Daeseoa, I guess.
“And d*e-hard fans, please don’t overdo it! Some of you might feel pressured to donate more than regular fans. Remember to take care of your real life so that you can keep watching my broadcast for a long time. If you go overboard with donations using credit cards, and suddenly disappear from the broadcast one day, I’d be so sad that I would cry, you know?”
Worried the mood might become too serious with such earnest talk, I wrapped it up with a playful voice and a gesture as if wiping tears from around my eyes.
Oh? But I was met with unexpected reactions…
[Boston Seo-A donated 2,023 candies.]
[Boston Seo-A donated 1,250 candies.]
– Congratulations on your birthday in 2023, Seo-A.
[Mr./Ms. Seo-A’s House Is On Fire donated 5,000 candies.]
– Make sure to donate everything you have left without overdoing it (memo).
“Uh, no, I didn’t entice anyone. I’m serious!”
– Wow;; as expected, Daeseoa is the ultimate maestro of enticement ㄷㄷ;;
– Acting like she’s worried about the d*e-hard fans while scratching her pride; this is so Daeseoa, the genius!
– Is it really working?
At this rate, I was about to be labeled a streamer obsessed with collecting donations.
I urgently searched for the chairman, Seo-A’s Pouch, and shouted.
“Chairman, please hold back! You contributed 100,000 candies for the construction funding! If you overdo it and end up having to take out a loan later, it’ll be a real problem…”
[Seo-A’s Pouch donated 12,500 candies.]
– I can’t resist Seo-A’s candy enticement techniques. I concede.
“……”
Before I knew it, the gauge had burst through 100,000.
And it was a day when a new infamy(?) was added.
