“… If you don’t want it, you can give it back.”
The members rolled their eyes at each other for a moment, then quickly waved their hands in protest.
“No! No way!”
“Seriously, thanks so much, Jia!”
“Majia, you are the GOAT. The GOAT of all GOATs.”
“Hehe, I’ll use it well, Jia-nim~.”
Then, they turned to look at the team leader and the president.
The team leader spoke first.
“I’ll save it for later. Thank you.”
The president, however, swiftly reached out and snatched my phone away.
With a sharp rip, the bottom part of the Cheon Do-hee unlimited use pass, which had an expiration date written on it, was torn off.
“…Your coupon is unlimited, so if the one you gave me for my birthday had an expiration date, that wouldn’t be right.”

Another week has passed from that complex journey.
The monthly review content of Magia, confirmed under the name <Fantasia>, was steadily being prepared.
The travel vlog teaser video was also uploaded on the official Nutube.

This time, perhaps because of the subject of the teaser video, the speed at which views increased was extraordinary.
It was all because of a brief scene that wasn’t even 10 seconds long.

But even though the rumor about Magia’s debut had circulated several times, Magia never mentioned debuting and just steadfastly did their work.
So, the fans who were ignoring it thought this was just the usual family entertainment content again. But then…
The next day, an announcement posted on the official Parallel channel poured fuel on the fire.

As a result, a significant number of viewers flocked to Magia’s broadcast right from the start on December 2nd.
[(🔴Live) Fantasia (Oct ’24)]👪8,796
#Review #Parallel #Another #Fantasia
Even before the show started, when it was just the waiting screen, considering it was still afternoon before other members started their broadcasts.
Whenever someone is rumored to debut, people at least go and check them out. If they like what they see, they might stick around.
But Magia had never said they were debuting, and yet people gathered pinpointing the location.
As often as these departures happened, it still played a significant role in boosting the apparent viewer numbers for the broadcaster and the company, a presence they are quite thankful for.
However, as the numbers grew tremendously and when Magia greeted after the screen transition…
[Hello, Moonlings. I am Magia, the deputy of Parallel.]
| Mach
– Mach!
– Mach Mach
– Taking a seat at Mach speed
– Majia~
[ (🔴Live) Fantasia (Oct 2024) ] 15,001
A whopping fifteen thousand people.
And now, Majia had to handle that many viewers alone.
As a spectator, Cheon Do-hee couldn’t help but worry.
Things like:
Would it be hard for Majia to start speaking?
Even for Majia, handling this alone would be tough…
Just as these concerns were floating around, Majia paused for a moment, waiting for the flood of chat messages to settle. Then, in a completely relaxed manner, they spoke.
[Have you all been doing well?]
– ||
– Did you enjoy your trip?
– Palbung cried because they couldn’t go on the trip
– Are you becoming a first-gen member?
From that point on, everything flowed too smoothly.
[The trip went well, and everyone had a great time. As you saw in the teaser, we’ll be making short animated clips with our travel stories, so it’ll take some time. The full video is expected to be released in about a week, so please look forward to it.]
– Kyaaah
– A week is too long
– When’s the debut stream?
– Please release it ASAP
– Maybe if the video team gets whipped, it’ll be done faster?
– Debut? Has it already happened??
[Anyway, that’s enough for the brief introduction. Let’s move straight to the main content. Our stream is only an hour long, so we can’t afford to drag things out.]
– ?
– Ehh lol
– ??
– When’s the official debut? Asking for the 5th time
– Nope nope nope nope nope
– Do a 24-hour stream
– Not buying it lol nope lol never believing it lol
– Lies lol lies lol lies lol lies lol lies lol lies lol lies lol
– One hour? Ridiculous. One hour? Ridiculous. One hour? Ridiculous. One hour? Ridiculous. One hour? Ridiculous. One hour? Ridiculous.
Palbung is dying~
How can a person stream for only an hour??? Are you even human???????
[I recently signed an additional contract, and it has a max stream limit of two hours.]
– ?
– If it’s a two-hour contract, then why only an hour?
– I get paid by the hour, and if I work the full two hours, I’ll be taking too much of your money, boss. To lessen your burden, I’ll only work for one hour.
– Ahahaha!
– Gaaaah!
– Damn it.
– Please, do the 2 hours ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
If you don’t give me the full 2 hours, I’m gonna fill my diaper.
– Really pisses me off.
– Are you annoyed? Oh, you don’t like watching the stream. Should we just end it here today?
— LOLOLOLOL
– HAHAHAH
– No way.
– Who is this guy?
– Kick that guy out!!!!!!
– You are no longer a pal, from today, you’re an idiot.
– Who the heck is this guy?!!!!!
Despite the 15,000 viewers, he was not swayed but was rather taming them.
Whether it’s because of his talent or because he has a viewer mindset of ‘don’t bother here, go play with a Vtuber’ is unclear.
Even amidst the relentless stream of chats, Majia never hesitated.
The demands for him to debut or whatever were completely ignored as if he had a built-in filter in his eyes.
“… He’s good.”
Though being talented as an artist is another story.
Eventually, Cheon Dohee recognized that Majia’s real talent was indeed in broadcasting.
Usually quiet, he was notably eloquent and composed on air.
The so-called ‘misrepresentation of official statements’ that Majia mentioned as a concern was hardly a problem upon review.
He has never once acted in a way that would tarnish the company’s image.
Rather, his immediate responses have aided in image recovery and preservation, never causing a downfall with bombshell remarks.
Black company comments during the eve?
That didn’t hurt the image but rather drew more attention.
The fact that such a hardworking employee existed perhaps increased trust.
The number of applicants for the second batch alone has already surpassed last year’s 800.
It was simply because of Majia.
With Majia, Parallel gains not losses.
He alone does not realize it.
He does not know how much value is preserved and created by his existence.
Even the comment about ‘something similar to this’ he made during a trip was because Jiya is so clueless…
The next day, he even threw out free passes.
「…If you don’t like it, you can return it.」
Everyone was just astonished at Majia.
Really, he’s the kind of person who wouldn’t stop until he’s completely withered away and nothing is left.
50 minutes later.
The first episode of <Fantasia> was neatly wrapped up.
Cheon Dohee had to correct the course a few times, but it was very minimal.
‘Majia’s meta of making viewers’ comments into topics was successful.’
Perhaps it’s important because, as she said, you can watch the broadcast while broadcasting.
– It’s essentially the perfect match of hobby and job. Broadcasting while indulging in one’s interests ensures the broadcast can’t go wrong.
So, how well did it go?
You can tell by this mess of a chat window right before the broadcast ended.
– No, I hate it, don’t go, I hate it, ugh, I hate it, no, ugh, ugh, don’t go, ugh…
– As long as the East Sea and Baekdu Mountain endure~
– I have no intention of letting Majia go~ I have no intention of letting Majia go~ I have no intention of letting Majia go~ I have no intention of letting Majia go~ I have no intention of letting Majia go~
– Huh? The broadcast just started, right? Wow, this is going to be fun~
– If you want to leave, kill me first haha If you want to leave, kill me first haha If you want to leave, kill me first haha If you want to leave, kill me first haha If you want to leave, kill me first haha
– Is it just a 1-hour broadcast from now? Got it haha
– If you think Majia shouldn’t leave, thumbs up haha I think Majia shouldn’t leave, thumbs up haha I think Majia shouldn’t leave, thumbs up haha
– Whaaah ㅠㅠ Baby pal, if Majia leaves like this, I’ll cry, whaaah ㅠㅠ Baby pal, if Majia leaves like this, I’ll cry
– Santa please, just one more hour of broadcasting for Majia, please ㅠㅠ I’ll be good, ㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
– Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense! Stop the nonsense!
– I grabbed Majia by the hair and slammed his face on the desk and said, “Broadcast.” Majia asked, “What?” I contorted my face and said again, “Broadcast. Unless you want to get beaten.” Majia trembled and said, “Yes… Yes.” That day, I became a hero.
– Majia Maji Akuma… Majia Maji Akuma… Majia Maji Akuma… Majia Maji Akuma… Majia Maji Akuma… Majia Maji Akuma…
– Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair, Devil’s lair
– Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh Satan’s broadcast has ended, whoosh whoosh
But Majia is already prepared to leave.
The members have already turned on their broadcasts, ready to catch the waterfall, why wouldn’t they end the broadcast?
[It’s time for the first-generation members to start their broadcasts and meet you all. I hope you have a great weekend with the first-generation, and now I’ll step back.]
With that, the broadcast ends.
There’s no hesitation in pressing the broadcast end button.
– Really gone?
– ?
– Ha ha ha ha ha
– Did he go?
– Really heartless.
– It feels so empty…
People feel empty, but there’s nowhere to direct this frustration.
The angry viewers will either spam or troll other members’ broadcasts and get banned.
The existing fans are perplexed, but what can they do but go watch another broadcast?
Although rigged like a Vtuber with a matching voice,
She was just another employee of Parallel, never having debuted.
It’s troublesome to cling to a civilian, so people will have to restrain themselves once the broadcast ends.
The most intense people are gathered in Majia’s mini-gallery, and it’s already in the palm of Majia’s hand…

“Hello.”
A few days later.
Nezumi Maru☑ @Nezumi_Maru – 15 minutes ago
💎🔨I’m going to gift this diamond to Jia~
On the day when the collaboration between Majia and Maru on the 64 Cubics server was finally set, Cheon Dohee received a message.
[Hello Ms. Momo. How have you been?]
A YouTuber specialized in 64 Cubics and former president before TaniPing, leader of the Wicker Crew.
Currently, Wicker, who regularly operates a large 64 Cubics server that hundreds of streamers participate in, contributes to measuring and fostering the streamers’ camaraderie.
“Oh, Mr. Wicker! Long time no see. What brings you here?”
[It’s nothing else, but you know our server is opening soon.]
“Yes, Maru and I are in the starting members.”
[I might be asking out of mere curiosity. Just wondering?]
The number of live streamers on Twitch is about 20,000.
Even if hundreds join the collaboration server, only a limited number of people can enjoy it.
It could be seen as a ‘stage for the haves.’
From the server operator’s perspective, they only want to accept verified people to prevent any issues.
For that, it’s easier to start with popular streamers like Momo, who have over 10,000 Twitch followers, using a friend referral system.
Since the server has a limit of 2,000 followers for friend invitations, not just anyone can join.
Of course, sometimes the organizers send out invitations to certain individuals to draw attention…
Usually, these are celebrities, professional gamers, etc., those who have irregular broadcasting schedules or are difficult to contact.
Therefore, Wicker’s suggestion was enough to surprise Dohee.
[Is there any chance that Deputy Majia might also be invited to this server?]
