I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work - Chapter 94.2

Am I that Strange? Part2

The opponent was using accumulated data with one order, while the Youngun team had two heads.

One of them was even more threatening because it was a tank that charged while throwing smokes with its own will.

[It’s a thought that just occurred to me. Why were we worried about a team with a player like this?]

[Their scrim results.]

[Ah. That’s right. They had a record of 0 wins and 22 losses, right? But! That team! Is now in the finals! 2:0! They’re on the verge of winning with an overwhelming score!]

[They’re really causing an upset. It’s amazing!!]

[As we speak! Bajubi has traded 1:1 with Kaljam, making it 4:1! The Kongsadamang team is in a desperate crisis!! Will they collapse like this!! They have to do something!!]

In the last round, Magia showered the enemy with a hailstorm of pellets, signaling the end of the match.

Boom!

{{ Magia >> (head) (Dragon-B) Jinsam }}

[GG――!!]

The official broadcast showed the players’ screens.

Everyone, including the coach, was excitedly jumping around, but only Magia was calm.

It was similar when the commentators entered the Talk Code for the winner’s interview.

The commentators knew that Serena’s contribution in leading the team while Magia was running wild was great.

But who had produced the most visible results?

It was Magia, who had been described as breathing fire, holding the Dragon-B, which showed a fiery shooting effect, and traversing the battlefield with smokes.

As soon as they finished congratulating them on their victory, the commentators asked Magia, who was now closing her eyes and meditating….. 

[Congratulations on your victory. To be honest, we were also keeping an eye on your scrim results. But. We didn’t expect it to be this much. We were surprised by the video, but we didn’t expect you to make it to the finals. What happened, Magia!]

Magia spoke indifferently. “First of all, Serena’s ordering came alive, Kamik’s self-survival rate also increased a lot, Bajubi is really doing his part, and Keugemang uncle is now

changing the turret positions on his own to block the enemy’s entry.

I think the whole team did so well.”

Everyone could see that she was the one who had done the best.

She was leaving herself out of the praise.

– You did the best LOLOL

– Fr fr

– Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia! Magia!

– You’re the best

– Magia saved the team that Youngun ruined

– Da Magia

-The fact that the director isn’t even mentioned in all this lol

– Super Magia

– Thank you, thank you for mentioning our Bajubi ππ

– Ddong Young-gun

-Young-gun, go die

As related comments flooded the chat, the commentator asked again.

[But, the best player was still you, right? Do you agree?]

“I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with that. The whole team did well. The director might not be good at auctions, but he did his part.”

However, the commentator didn’t back down.

After all, what was their main job?

To create stars at the tournament.

In the first tournament last year, Taro took on that role.

With perfect flashes that blinded hidden enemies when attacking, and stole the vision of approaching enemies when defending, disrupting the flow.

[Haha. If you keep doing this, we’ll have no choice but to mention everything one by one, right? Okay. Shall we bring it up?

First of all, round 3 of the first set. You wiped out three people at a time with the mini-barrel, right? You bought the team a total of that, and after picking Dragon Bee, you took down almost two people per round. The kill score proves it.

And that smoke screen in the first place. What is that? It’s unpredictable. From the receiving end, it’s just a disaster. And what about the shotgun accuracy? People die every time you shoot.]

During the tournament, opposing players kept referring to her as the “smoke screen killer.”

Magia completely overturned the existing idea that smoke screens should be used strategically.

In the end, she proved that, at least outside of professional tournaments, one person’s brilliant play could lead the game to victory.

But Magia remained calm.

She was a little embarrassed, but the shamelessness she had been trained in by her members and had grown during the year-end party shone through.

“I think we won because Taro wasn’t there.”

[Ah-ha.]

[That’s not what we want!!]

“But I really think so.”

Too bad, but what could they do?

The player wanted to be humble.

More than anything, Magia was an office worker, even if she looked like a streamer.

Eventually, the commentators backed down and prepared to wrap up the interview.

[Then, let’s finish the interview by hearing your final thoughts on winning.]

Magia said calmly.

“I thought I could get eliminated early and focus on work when we were scrimming. I didn’t know I’d be spending two more days at the tournament. I need to finish this quickly and go to the office.”

[The office? It’s a weekend evening…You’re going to work at this hour?]

“I go to work and turn on the broadcast. I’m in the company’s broadcasting room right now.”

The two commentators were shocked.

Both of them had been in the workforce for as long as Magia, so they knew very well what weight her words carried.

[Wait, you were at the company the whole time you were scrimming?!]

“Yes.”

[My God….]

[But it’s still amazing]

When did the Parallel Gallery’s gallery leader become Magia?

Just a while ago, people were saying she’s a regular person and should be careful, etc.

These days, Magia topics keep popping up all the time lol

[Comments]

– Parallel732: An ordinary office worker played the final boss role on a large server, won a streamer tournament, and even received MVP, so how can we not talk about her lol

– Parallel289: You’re absolutely right lol

– Parallel841: Let’s just call her a VTuber now…

– Parallel094: Same thoughts lol

– Parallel258: Honestly, it’s meaningless to argue about that now lol

– Parallel258: I just wish she would stream more often

– Parallel890: You too?

[Wait, this crazy b*tch was scrimming while working?]

I made a note of the guy who got hired at Parallel a while ago

He actually comes here and writes sometimes

According to his post yesterday, she went to work the whole time she was preparing for the tournament lol

[Comments]

– Parallel485: Don’t tell me she did that even when she was running the Wicker server’s command center? Parallel741: Yeah, she said she turned it on from the company back then

– Parallel038: She’s like a human lighthouse lol Didn’t she stay logged in from 6 PM to 6 AM back then?

Paralle1900: Her dedication to work is scary.

– Paralle1945: Magia said it would be okay until the 2nd generation members came in, right?

– Parallel682: I saw on the VTuber-Mangaller that the 2nd generation interviews are right after the Dog-gone Tournament ends?

– Parallel682: Does that mean she won’t be able to stream after that?

– Parallel253: No way. ↳ Parallel870: No way, crazy. ↳ Parallel009: Is this real?

– Parallel325: There’s no way around it lol It’s amazing that she even managed to stream this much as an office worker

– Parallel029: I suddenly feel suffocated

– Parallel383: We will definitely find a way…

… — — — — — — — — — — — …

Even after the Hit-or-Miss Tournament and the Dog-gone Tournament, tournaments and large servers were still planned, but Magia’s capabilities and time were always limited.

If an environment where she could focus solely on streaming wasn’t created, she could disappear at any time due to work.

#NightofLegends #Parallel #Dora #Komari

No matter how much the official channel’s size kept growing.

No matter how much the average viewership of the command center broadcast increased.

There was a limit to prioritizing broadcasting over what Magia originally did.

Of course, the opportunity for Magia’s attitude toward broadcasting to change came surprisingly quickly.

It was two days after the finals.

On the way to the subway with Serena on the day of Team Young-gun’s company dinner.

“It was so much fun today. It was amazing how Jubi was so good at having fun even though he couldn’t speak.”

“Actually, I think it was possible because Serena translated almost everything…. But I wonder if you could even hear that small voice. It was a room, but it wasn’t soundproof, so it was noisy.”

“I kind of guessed from his lip movements? I might be wrong, but he would subtly grab my sleeve if I was. It was cute.”

I thought he was a desperate small-time streamer, but surprisingly, Bajubi purely enjoyed a delicious meal and hung out with people before going back.

He just said he was happy to have good memories and new friends.

Kamik and Serena, who were nice people, kept trying to be friends with him, but it was a little sad to see him running away, saying their sizes didn’t match.

… Magia knew that feeling too.

Her boss, Chun Dohee, also had a fit when a big streamer acted friendly when she was a small-time streamer.

There was one guy who started with Mu and ended with Gun.

Serena chuckled and said.

“That’s why I’m always amazed by Magia. Actually, it wouldn’t be strange if you were similar to Bajubi. But you’ve shown such a familiar appearance on broadcast from the beginning.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Honestly, I’d believe it if Magia introduced herself as ‘I’m a VTuber.””

Feeling good after eating something delicious, Magia asked Serena teasingly.

“What do you think it would be like if I became Serena’s junior?”

“Hehe. That would be fun…… Huh?”

Serena, startled, asked back.

“No. Uh. Huh? Really?”

“Speak your mind.”

Serena, who had been smacking her lips for a while, said.

“Geez…. You’re lying. I’m not stupid, you know?”

“What if I’m not lying?”

Serena leaned over and stared at me with narrowed eyes.

Then she said.

“If Magia debuts? Then I’ll go in front of Parallel headquarters and shout I love Parallel!”

Was it because there were so many people gaslighting me even in an atmosphere of restraint, that I reflexively retorted to Serena’s words.

“People say it’s weirder that I’m not debuting?”

“If you were going to debut because of those opinions, you would have done it at Parallel a long time ago. You’ve already had plenty of opportunities

to do so. But the fact that you haven’t means you have a reason not to. I’m honestly against debuting because of other people’s opinions.”

The reason for not debuting.

Magia was the first person after the boss to point this out.

‘She’s a good person after all.’

But listening to her, it sounded like something someone who didn’t want to debut would say.

Like how she worked so hard like a young breadwinner on the Wicker server.

Like how she tried to gain practical benefits while being a healing VTuber.

One way or another, the phrase “personal circumstances” came to mind, so Magia naturally asked.

“It might be rude, so don’t answer if you don’t want to. Did Serena perhaps not want to debut?”

Serena laughed, “Heh.”

“Yes. I was originally going to debut as an idol in Buddies.”
