Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 97
Episode 97: We Are Colleagues
I believe that those who strive to get ahead of others must have a plan and vision.
The reason I started mobile broadcasting today was not an impulsive decision.
They say that even a string of pearls must be threaded to become a treasure.
There must be a reason for having such a splendid appearance after my regression.
If I just leave it alone like this, it would be a waste of a treasure.
The competition in the Virtual Panel is already fierce and intense.
My mindset was to try every available means.
In that sense, while a full cam show might be excessive, I judged that a “half-cam” would be sufficiently effective.
“Half-cams are quite common in Japan, the ancestral ground of the virtual, and there’s a high demand on LebitTV too.”
It’s funny, but if you fully show your cam, you get criticized and cursed for not being virtual anymore, while half-cams are seen as event broadcasts of the virtual, gaining more attention in the streaming community.
I don’t know what kind of logic that is, but if that’s the perception of people, I should take advantage of it.
Moreover, if I have an appearance like mine, going in for a half-cam occasionally is quite beneficial.
No matter how much the virtual world develops, the mainstream and majority will always be streamers who show their cam.
It’s appealing to those viewers who typically harbor resistance toward the virtual.
To show that a person inside the virtual can be this attractive.
I often say it, but the virtual pie is limited.
To keep growing, I must attract not only viewers who like the virtual but also those who only watch human streamers.
After all, those who are now Buttugi were viewers who watched cam streamers before the virtual era, so it’s entirely possible to draw them into the virtual panel.
“After all, a significant number of viewers flowed into the virtual panel in a similar way through Lena World.”
I gained confidence by looking at the precedent from before my regression.
So I deliberately persuaded Lucy to start the mobile broadcast and boldly highlighted my attractive points.
And the result was a great success.
– “Oh my, unni, please make a mistake just one more time! I could only see for a few seconds!”
– “For real, this is crazy—could this be the average beauty of the virtual?”
– “No face reveal, right? Showing my face would cost me 1,000 candies.”
– “Funny how those kinds of comments come from users who don’t even have a fan badge. They can’t help but stand out.”
The terrifying firepower of the chat.
And the soaring number of viewers.
Of course, this doesn’t happen to just anyone.
Even before my regression, many virtuals turned on their half-cams, but only a few surpassed the four-digit view count.
They desperately aimed for a surge in viewers but mostly ended up with small events with fans.
“But I’m different. It’s not just my appearance; I have an impact.”
I didn’t roll around in the mud for no reason to gain attention.
I’ve been working hard all this time.
I’ve drawn all sorts of aggro and written promotional posts in the community under my alternate account, and sometimes even took risks against big company streamers.
All those efforts are shining now.
Nothing happens overnight.
I lazily moved my phone to shine a light on the table and whispered softly.
“Babe, why are you whining again? Don’t do that.”
– “Gasp! Was that directed at me?”
– “Shut up! That was for me! I just want to be alone with Seoa!”
– “For real, you’re such a posh loser.”
– “Everyone, don’t put your hands under the table. I’ve warned you; I will report anyone who does.”
– “This is nuts, this is crazy.”
The anticipation for me exploded and seems to have spread to Lucy, as requests asking to show her poured in.
Hmph! Nonsense.
My favorite will only be seen by me.
About an hour ago.
I remember the moment I first met Lucy.
***
[The door opens, and you come in.
At first sight, I knew you were mine.
You come closer, bow your head, and your reflected face
is truly… dazzlingly beautiful.]
Lyrics from imaginary songs resonate in my ears.
They align perfectly with the current situation.
About 10 minutes ago, I arrived at the restaurant we had scheduled, sat at the table, and finally got to welcome her.
Neatly styled bobbed hair.
An oversized trench coat draped carelessly over her.
Despite being only 24, she had an oddly mature atmosphere.
Moreover, the moment our eyes met, I found myself entranced, looking into eyes as deep as a lake.
While it’s still the first impression, it doesn’t feel easy.
Rather, it gives off an impression that makes it hard for those around to approach…
“A!”
Noticing me sitting at a table in the corner, she slightly raised her hand and opened her mouth.
“Seo Ah-seong! Hello! It feels like we’ve known each other for a long time even though we’re meeting for the first time.”
She approached me in a flash and greeted me, shattering the cold first impression I had.
With her smile revealing dimples, I couldn’t help but find her cute.
Is this what they mean by gap moe?
The cold-looking person turned out to be soft and engaging, making my heart flutter unexpectedly.
“Hi, Lucy Unni. Nice to meet you. Isn’t it chilly today?”
“A bit? But Seo Ah, you’re super pretty.”
“Ahahaha…”
Lucy is completely the same online and offline.
At first, she puts up walls, but once she gets comfortable, she interacts like the best of friends.
Meeting her offline made me a bit flustered.
After all, I’m not that accustomed to women.
“And while I anticipated this when I suggested meeting earlier…”
There’s definitely a reason for her confidence.
Is she the cool beauty with a slightly cold impression?
She seemed to be about 3-4 cm taller than me.
Close to a height of 170 cm.
“I got your message that you were almost here and ordered first. You order now too.”
“Okay, got it.”
Lucy sat down across from me, and we talked about various topics.
The reasons for starting broadcasting, her current crew activities, future content she wants to create, and so on.
This was quite a fascinating experience.
“Meeting my favorite person in real life isn’t something everyone gets to experience.”
And there were also parts that turned out differently than expected.
I thought I would be overwhelmed with emotion or feel nostalgic over the last three years of memories upon meeting her, but it was surprisingly calm.
Or rather, I felt more like a ‘colleague’ streamer than the ‘fan’ I used to be before my regression.
So, I was able to treat her more comfortably than I had anticipated.
“Still, I didn’t expect a day like this would come.”
Although my excitement was less than I expected, it’s still quite fascinating.
We enjoyed a delicious meal, and on my suggestion, decided to start the mobile broadcast.
“Your voice is enough, unni. I won’t point the camera at you, so don’t worry.”
“Okay. Got it.”
When I first brought up the mobile broadcast idea, Lucy looked hesitant.
We had a short conversation about it, and it turned out her family is quite strict?
Huh? What does that mean? Wasn’t Lucy living alone?
I grew curious, but her expression froze cold, and it seemed impolite to pry further, so I could only emphasize that I would be careful to not reveal any of her private matters.
It was best to keep Lucy’s personal information concealed.
After that, we moved to a cafe, started the mobile broadcast, and after testing the waters, I purposely exposed myself, pretending to make a mistake.
Ah, of course, I only framed the camera up to the neck.
After all, since I had a bet with Joo-Ddak, I must maintain the ‘virtual’ title.
– “Oh wow, I love you, Seo Ah! Please marry me!”
– “Faker in mid, no cap!”
– “Mom, I want to be reincarnated as that table!”
– “My son just got mad after seeing that scene. You’re responsible!”
[User FrontandBack has been banned from chatting for 10 minutes.]
“……”
Men really are sad creatures.
Sure, considering the nostalgic feelings from before my regression, I’ll throw in some service scenes.
While doing that for a while, I found it hard to keep my wits about me amidst the flood of candy sponsorships.
[Seo Ah-seong went on to sponsor 500 candies.]
[Seo Ah-seong went on to sponsor 500 candies.]
[Seo Ah-seong went on to sponsor 1,000 candies.]
“Hmm? What’s up with this person? Were they not a Buttugi initially? I never expected them to enjoy half-cams this much.”
Watching Vice President go crazy like that… the mobile broadcast successfully concluded.
Viewers, candy sponsorships, and buzz—everything was a perfect trinity.
Afterwards, we changed places and had a chat session with Lucy.
Having to part ways this early felt regrettable.
But we returned before it got dark.
Since there’s a broadcast tomorrow, I needed to go back and prepare in advance while resting.
Thus, I sent off my favorite person from before my regression.
Now we were ‘colleagues.’
