Chapter 12: A Villain Can’t Possibly Be This Cute Part 3

Parallel (Youtuber) Gallery

“Am I dreaming right now?”

A few days ago, there was a rumor in Baekol Gallery about the ‘Signal Flare Girl,’ and I thought, “Idiots, it’s obviously just a joke; how can they fall for that? LOL.”

But it turns out… it was real? Is Signal Flare actually a woman?

The voice is totally my type, but I’m already annoyed because we’ve crossed paths too many times in hostile encounters.

Whenever I meet her, I end up with my head smashed by her god-tier skills.

“Mattaque Kon!”

Parallel831: Reward LOL

Parallel091: Oh, did you get rewarded?

Parallel425: This guy with the badge, get moving!

Parallel152: Wasn’t it just yesterday that the vibe in Baekol Gallery was like a support group for victims who got trashed by elementary school kids? LOLLL

Parallel315: There’s barely anyone seasoned there LOL

Parallel315: They’re all people who haven’t watched Find the Lane, that’s why LOL

Parallel315: If they watched it, they’d be like, “Wait, it was you?” and freak out.

Parallel914: “You see as much as you know” LOL

As described in the recent post on Momo Gallery, reactions to the revelation that Majia’s username is ‘Human Signal Flare Kim Firework’ varied.

There’s a certain group that only hangs out on Lane’s stream, the “Lane-only Youtuber insiders.”

They were mostly newcomers who discovered Lane after she featured a new song by last season’s Show Me The Lime runner-up, so their reaction was lukewarm.

“What even is Signal Flare, you nerds?”

“Oh, here they go, chatting about stuff only they know.”

“Is this about a game?”

“There was a Signal Flare in Baekol, too?”

The next group came over from Momo’s stream and follows both Momo and Lane.

These “toxic Baekol fans” praise Momo’s streams while sighing over Lane’s.

Despite cringing at Momo’s game skills that are too embarrassing to even call trolling, they keep coming back because they’re addicted to this ridiculousness and immediately recognized the legendary troll Signal Flare as described in Momo Gallery.

“Insane LOLLLLLLLL”

“Found my final piece of the puzzle!”

“I knew that voice sounded familiar LOL”

“Wow, so Momo’s manager, Signal Flare, is all the same person?”

The last group is the season one fans and trolls who joined today due to Find the Lane.

Their only focus is on Majia’s guest appearance, and they seem to have formed some kind of “Majia Debut Promotion Committee,” endlessly cheering on the wild excitement.

Info – Signal Flare doesn’t stream but has an individual page on TriWiki

“Wait, I checked, but it’s not there LOL.”

“Is this real?”

“How could it be LOL.”

Anonymous supporter has donated 1,000 clouds!

“Cute voice, good impressions, great at rapping, good at gaming—what can’t they do, Mr. Employee!!!”

They’re already getting a little too invested.

“These days even bone broth gets donations LOL.”

So, the viewers move in clusters, like oil and water, failing to unify.

And as Lane’s stream stalls, it turns into a collective monologue.

This lull made it look like there was a sound issue or stream malfunction.

TriWiki’s editors were even ready to add an ‘Incident’ section to Lane’s page, but the pause was just Cheon Dohee giving Jiya a moment to react.

‘… So, she’s trying to lay low for now.’

Even without being a streamer, anyone with a bit of awareness would know that this is the perfect moment to draw attention through self-introduction.

But Jiya firmly believes that she should remain beneath the Youtuber status of Parallel.

Despite countless handshakes being extended, she refuses to think they’re reaching out because of her.

In a way, this “pretending not to know” act only stokes the flames, as though she’s a genius at provoking irritation.

At least this was all within Cheon Dohee’s expectations, so she finally began speaking.

“Well, there are probably a lot of questions about our Employee D’s game nickname. Those who have watched my stream will know, but yeah, it just ended up like that.”

“So, is it true that Signal Flare became Momo’s manager? LOL”

Anonymous supporter has donated 1,000 clouds!

“Is it true they’re locked in a basement somewhere and can’t snipe?” LOL

“We’re not holding them captive! They became a manager because they were good, so now we’re just treating them as staff.”

Anonymous supporter has donated 1,000 clouds!

“Free Employee D!”

Anonymous supporter has donated 1,000 clouds!

“Sigh, Employee D is like a princess trapped in Parallel.”

“Sigh, we’re not holding them captive!”

But even if Momo tries to cover up, if Jiya stays silent, that’s a problem too.

What do you think the 15,000 people here today are hoping for? They came with curiosity and expectations for Employee D, or Majia.

If expectations aren’t met, it’ll turn into disappointment.

Just like this.

“But can’t Employee D just explain directly?”

“She just says hi and then goes quiet.”

“Leaves are going to rot”

“Round ones will become square~”

“Chuling will send a breath”

Anonymous supporter has donated 10,000 clouds!

“Guys, get a clue. The boss told them to keep quiet.”

“Gasp LOL.”

“CCCCC.”

“Employee D, so pitiful.”

“Free Employee D from the dictator Momo!”

Even amidst these complaints, Majia will not directly communicate with the viewers.

After all, this is Lane’s stream, and even Osin Dohee is here with them.

Will Majia just keep hanging around the edges of this broadcast, leaving viewers disappointed?

No, that’s why Cheon Dohee joined the broadcast, to keep things under control and protect at the same time.

“Employee D, they’re saying you should speak directly. What do you think?”

“About what?”

“They want you to explain if you’re really Signal Flare.”

“Do I need to explain? I didn’t do anything wrong to the viewers.”

“Oh, but you’ve done plenty wrong to me?”

“Yes. Well… but I’ve reflected on those while being a manager.”

Anonymous supporter has donated 1,000 clouds!

“I keep getting startled hearing your voice—is it really you, Signal Flare? LOL.”

“At least they know what they did wrong LOLLLLL.”

“She hasn’t wronged us, though”

“LOL.”

Anonymous supporter has donated 1,000 clouds!

“Remember the Great Momo Rage Incident.”

“Whoa, call her ‘Ultimate Momo'”

“Whoa.”

“Goodbye LOL.”

Viewers may be irritated that Jiya only responds to CEO Momo’s comments, but the ‘civilian shield’ is still working fine.

Soon, viewers will realize that Dohee guiding the conversation is the only way to interact with Majia.

This will probably lead to a sense of restraint, realizing that pushing too hard backfires.

Above all, Jiya’s voice is extremely cute, which prevents viewers from acting harshly.

Though she speaks calmly, her voice exudes an innocent, childlike charm that makes it seem like she might burst into tears if pushed too hard.

Despite this cuteness bringing back Momo’s somewhat outdated reputation as a ‘violent woman,’ it’s not a concern—it shows that people see Jiya as someone to be protected.

“Employee D, they’re not mistreating you at the company, right?”

Anonymous supporter donated 1,000 clouds!

“If they’re the sashimi master of Gwanro-dong, I’d be scared… I’d probably freak out just meeting them face-to-face.”

It’s been years since that rumor started just because they mentioned once that their parents ran a seafood restaurant.

Annoyed, Dohee responded.

“What’s that donation just now? Want a full ban from Parallel?”

“Scratched?”

“Yep, got scratched?”

“Violent dictator Momo LOL.”

As a pro streamer, Dohee skillfully turned that into part of the broadcast while achieving her goals.

“Employee D, because you’re not speaking, everyone is misunderstanding. Could you clarify?”

“The CEO got hit more. I hit her a lot when I returned on my backup account.”

“Hey!”

“Such a villain.”

“LOL, the confidence.”

“How did you endure all this time LOL.”

Anonymous supporter donated 10,000 clouds!

“Do you have multiple snipe accounts?”

“They’re asking how many snipe accounts you have?”

“That’s a trade secret, so I can’t reveal it.”

“Trade secret LOL.”

“Oh, a Michelin 3-star?”

“Must have at least 10 LOL.”

Through this back-and-forth with Dohee, viewers began to realize, “This person’s sharp one-liners are something.”

Curiosity arose as to whether someone with a ‘villain background’ would actually roast the CEO as well.

Anonymous supporter donated 10,000 clouds!

“Honestly, don’t you think the CEO sucks at games?”

“Hey, she’s not that bad! I mean, I still reach Gold before the season ends, right?”

“That’s true, but you do terribly at the beginning of the season when you can’t adapt to the meta.”

“What do you mean ‘terribly’?”

“Okay, ‘extremely bad,’ but at least you’re better than Lane.”

“What? Why are you bringing Lane into this?”

“Lane, stay quiet. You’re terrible. It’s more embarrassing for me to be compared to you.”

“Nooo!”

Anonymous supporter donated 10,000 clouds!

“You’re whining? Just a gold player whining? LOL.”

“LOL.”

“If Signal Flare really is Diamond though LOL.”

“Imagining that cute voice doing smack talk feels surreal LOL.”

“Physical cuteness.”

Given Dohee’s serious demeanor about Battle Coliseum, the comment hit a nerve.

“So, are you going to carry today, Signal Flare?”

The serious tone naturally reached Majia, who sincerely responded.

“It’s hard with two burdens, but I’ll try.”

“It’s just one burden, Employee D.”

There are two.

Is M part of the permanent burden?

Lane’s ten times as heavy as the CEO. Um, not weight-wise, of course.

That slight slip-up set the viewers off.

Anonymous supporter donated 10,000 clouds!

“Lane actually weighs half a ton.”

“Not even 500 for the 3-lift bench LOL.”

“A Dynamax Lane that would scare bodybuilders LOL.”

Bam!

“Turns out she’s not a goddess but a forklift… no wonder she breaks so many keyboards.”

“Forklift is overboard LOLLLLL.”

“Crazy LOLLLLLL.”

“I laughed, but it hurt my pride LOLLLLL.”

“Ah, I spit out my water LOLLLLL.”

Thus, the dynamic was set where the viewers provoked, Dohee and Lane tossed the conversation, and Jiya spiked it.

Every hit targeted Dohee or Lane, which was advantageous for Dohee, as her philosophy was that a streamer should both roast viewers and take the hits.

Is this… an employee?

At first, since they weren’t talking much, I thought it might be tough because they’re a regular person LOL.

As soon as Momo opened up, their lines hit like a bomb LOLLLLL.

Why just make them work?

Honestly, if Momo was out of her mind, thumbs up.

“To Momo, who is streaming”

Release Employee D.

If you don’t, after the stream ends, we’ll flood Momo Gallery, Dora Gallery, Komari Gallery, Maru Gallery, and Lane Gallery with trash posts every hour.

Be prepared.

This is the final warning.
