Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 48

Episode 48: Crossroads

Two days have passed.

Friday and Saturday.

I didn’t completely avoid streaming; I had a short communication session late at night for about an hour to soothe the viewers.

Everything was to focus on the second mission of Ugaidol!

With this justification, the viewers understood.

They joked about how great a preparation I was making that I barely streamed… was it really a joke?

I had initially thought to take the second mission lightly.

There was a reason for my change in attitude, as easy as flipping my hand.

The first reason was to test Miho’s abilities.

Our group’s VRC content was a debate.

It seemed Miho was struggling with the topic, so I subtly sent a message via Discord.

Miho looked a bit surprised while checking the message, but maybe after a moment of thought, she came up with the topic I wanted.

Great, now I had to push her hard.

Naturally, Miho became the team leader.

Geum Kiwi seemed to want to be the leader as well, but Miho contributed significantly to the content and topic, and since I was actively supporting Miho, Geum Kiwi willingly stepped down.

To anyone, I was the unparalleled predator in Group F.

Compared to the other members, I had a larger fixed fanbase and higher recognition.

I also subtly hinted to Miho.

Let’s see her capabilities.

Miho was quick-witted and had a good head on her shoulders.

Once I started supporting her, she took the lead in Group F and proceeded with things smoothly.

Each member worked hard to contribute their share.

Although Group F was sailing smoothly like a boat in the wind, there was actually one problem.

It was the debate topic proposed through Miho.

It had the potential to be a sensitive issue.

From a broadcasting perspective, there was no problem at all, but given the current context of the Virtual Idol Audition, there were many concerns.

The other members seemed worried and made slight mentions of that, but I pushed strongly.

In fact, this ‘issue’ was exactly the second reason I changed my attitude.

‘If we use this topic well, we might be able to gauge Sayoh’s thoughts.’

Would Sayoh strategize in the same way as before my regression?

Or would there be a chance of her modifying that strategy?

If I could gauge that, this second audition could become a significant opportunity.

I could confirm my future position heading towards Ugaidol audition.

‘Yes. First, I need to decide that. To look further into the future…’

Sunday approached quickly.

***

“Thank you for waiting, everyone. It must have been boring for the last two days, right? I also spent some quality time with my family for the first time in a while and rested for half a day. Other than that, I was still busy with meetings and communications with Pangea TV and checking the results from those helping with the VRC project.”

– Sayoh, it’s all about the broadcast rather than health, right? Take care of the broadcast more!

– My world shut down for the two days without a stream ㅠ

– Group C, let’s all pass with Super Pass~

– If Park Nana and Baio both pass, a 1:1 d*ath match in the third round would be super fun, right?

– Wishing for Seo-Ah’s success on the 14th day!!!

– Joon-bae is Park Nana, Elsa, Yoon Seo-ah, Baio, Na Haeri, let’s go!

– But today isn’t VRC, right? There are no other judges.

“Today, I will travel to each group’s leader’s broadcast. Also, Jerry and Great Moon have decided to skip the second and third judging rounds due to scheduling conflicts.”

– Huh? Bring Jerry back! I can’t lose Jerry!

– So that means no Super Pass too? Since Sayoh already used it in the first round… C group getting eliminated would be devastating;;

– Isn’t it that the winners are already decided? That’s why no other judges are needed.

“Those spreading strange rumors will be kicked out immediately. Please refrain from making baseless speculations. We need to choose the order, so can the group leaders enter the Sayoh room on Discord?”

Ding, ding!

Everyone seemed to be watching Sayoh’s broadcast and entered quickly.

Of course, Miho, from our group, was present.

“Then I will call out the groups in order starting from Group A. Is Juda here?”

“Yes! I’m here.”

“Is there anything that could be problematic for Group A today?”

“No, everything is ready.”

“Alright, great. Now, moving on to Group B’s Dunyang-i?”

After confirming there were no issues with Groups A through G, Sayoh started the pinball program to determine the order.

“Here are the balls marked for each group from A to G. They will present in the order they enter. Let’s get started!”

The program started smoothly.

The first ball to cross the finish line was Group E.

Following that were Group B and Group A.

After a fiercely contested battle for the fourth place, Group G won, with Group C passing closely behind.

Now only our Group F and Group D remained.

“Phew! We survived. Avoiding the last place.”

One of the members gathered in the Discord room said.

As it turned out, Group F placed sixth.

The glory of closing the show went to Group D.

Sayoh summarized and organized the order.

[E – B – A – G – C – F – D]

“Then we will start in 10 minutes, so Group E members go prepare immediately. If the preparation finishes early, the group leader can come to call me.”

“Okay. I’ll go prepare right away.”

As Na Haeri, the leader of Group E, disappeared to prepare, Sayoh chatted briefly with the leaders of each group, engaging in some small talk.

Everyone expressed their intentions behind preparing the VRC content.

What appealing elements they had.

It wasn’t just idle curiosity.

These were questions asked to evaluate broadcasting potential.

Then it was Miho’s turn.

“Hmmm. A debate, huh. Whose idea was this?”

“Yes, I proposed it.”

“I see. So it would be divided into the pro and con sides. Seo-Ah, which side are you on?”

“I’m on the con side.”

“Seo-Ah is on the con side. Can I hear the topic of the debate beforehand?”

“Oh, yes. The topic of the debate is…”

Just as Miho was about to answer.

If Na Haeri, the leader of Group E, hadn’t come back after finishing her preparations.

“Sayoh, I’m ready.”

“Okay, sounds good. Then let’s directly explore Na Haeri’s broadcast.”

The flow was interrupted.

A bit disappointing.

I wanted to see how Sayoh’s expression would change upon hearing the debate topic.

Well, I could naturally see that when our turn came.

I watched Sayoh’s broadcast, leisurely chatting with the members.

I already knew the second Ugaidol audition wasn’t going to be exciting, but the others were eagerly anticipating it.

They shared meaningless thoughts like, ‘What if the other groups are too good and we get overshadowed?’

‘We don’t have to worry about being overshadowed since our debate topic is the topic.’

“Hello, we are Group E. First, the team leader Na Haeri!”

“I’m Mu-yo!”

“I’m Park Nana.”

“Seolpyo-woo is also here.”

“Im Pu-pu making an appearance!”

Gathered around the leader, the members of Group E introduced themselves briefly.

They greeted Sayoh and had a brief chat about their current situations.

They confirmed what roles they each played in preparing for this content.

“Alright, good. Then let’s get started right away.”

– Yay! Finally, it’s starting.

– Mu-yo, let’s go.

– Group E, let’s do well ㅠ

– Wishing for Park Nana’s success on the 14th day!

Among the cheering chats from the viewers, the VRC content prepared by Group E began.

The content from Group E was a situational play.

If not for the special features of the map, it was the most ordinary choice.

In fact, most groups who performed before the regression also did situational plays in the second audition.

‘Which means, the situational plays must have been boring.’

Many popular YouTube videos about VRC featured situational plays, leading everyone to be mistaken into thinking it wasn’t a difficult content to pull off.

Crafting an entertaining script is a given, and you also need acting skills to bring it to life.

But could just five Hako Streamers who gathered in two days create a high-level situational play?

If that were the case, they wouldn’t have been Hako in the first place.

Such talent would have led them to succeed in personal broadcasts or produce viral videos on YouTube.

Still… there was a certain innocence to it.

It felt like watching a children’s talent show.

I just wished they could tone down the cringy acting.

“Alright. Thank you, everyone from Group E for your efforts.”

“Thank you!”

– Seolpyo-woo, let’s go.

– Wow! Group E is currently dominating at 1st place.

– In the middle, they were striking poses they practiced, but no one matched it, and their timing was all off—that was hilarious!

Other groups passed through with similar vibes.

Group C received praise, but it was just the same old, same old.

After all, they were of similar caliber.

“Now, it’s the turn of Group F. We’ll go to Miho’s broadcast.”

Finally, our Group F’s turn arrived.

Before Sayoh entered, I cheered with my members to pump up our energy.

Ah, of course, my mind was fully elsewhere.

‘Will I be able to gauge Sayoh’s true intentions with this content?’

If that succeeds, then I could solidify my future plans.

It was a significant crossroads.
