Who the Hell Is That?

I glared at the comment Honey Eos had posted. This was a challenge. How dare she challenge me, Ha Yeon-woo!

"Ha! Does that idiot Eos still see me as nothing more than some employee named Ha Yeon-woo?"

Just because you're a director at our company, you think that's everything? I immediately channeled the overwhelming power filling my entire body. Take this! The divine authority that dwells within me!

I sliced the comment clean in half with a single click.

"Sayonara, Honey Eos. You are but a commoner from the world where I was merely an employee."

Now I possess the awesome authority of the CEO. Deleting a single staff member's comment is child's play!

"Tch! Someone actually saw it."

I thought I'd removed it pretty quickly, but apparently some people still caught it. Whatever. It doesn't matter as long as no one screenshots it and spreads it across Sra-gal——

"Ugh...! These crazy bastards! They're seriously way too fast!"

I thought I'd handled it pretty well, but these lunatics were even quicker with the screenshots. Thanks to them, the notice I wrote and Eos's comment spread like wildfire in an instant.

Sra-gal was only the beginning. The madness spread to completely unrelated places—Streamer Gallery, other corporate fan galleries, even concept posts. All in just ten minutes. Ridiculous rumors about a feud between the CEO and Eos got mixed in too.

"Ugh!"

Looks like it reached the CEO's ears too. ...Now what? Ttyuttya?

Kyaruruk...! Kyaruruk...! Please look at this and calm down, CEO!

Yeah, figures jokes like that don't work on the CEO who's already past thirty. I figured any more messing around would actually put my life at risk, so I frantically started typing again.

I wrote the notice really well! It's all because some crazy ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠woman had to stir up trouble in the comments!

Anyone could see it was a comment challenging me... no no, challenging the CEO!

It's her fault anyway, so let's just blame Eos and end it there, CEO!

Now that she mentioned it, that was a thing. If someone replies to a comment and the original suddenly disappears, it shows that the comment was already deleted. Self-deleted shows "This ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠comment has already been deleted." Mod-deleted shows "This comment was removed by the administrator." In other words, getting caught lying here would mean my wrist was as good as gone. And I'd be getting punched in the face too.

To me, who was contemplating whether I should obediently prepare some food like a faithful wife, the CEO sent:

How am I supposed to do that?

Using my director privileges, I looked up an employee's personal information. Even though I knew it would cause problems, I went to her house and knocked hard on the door, but no one came out.

"Where did she go...? Yeon-woo...?"

Feeling anxious, I was about to send the CEO a message when a new notice popped up in the cafe.

"It's the CEO...!"

After reading the notice, she realized something and immediately started tapping on her smartphone. If she sent a message first, the CEO would obviously stay calm and respond accordingly. So instead, she left a rather aggressive comment to force a reaction.

...The response came immediately. Even through private messages.

She had a brief conversation with the CEO. Mostly about Yeon-woo.

Thanks to that, she received some unexpectedly good news.

"What the... exactly..."

She also received the sad news that she wouldn't be able to see Yeon-woo for a while.

An unbelievable story came back from the CEO. That voice was Yeon-woo? That ridiculously cute voice that made her jealous? What kind of nonsense was that?

After finishing negotiations with the CEO, she sat in her gaming chair for a moment and thought. How could she have fun with Yeon-woo? How could she shake off this gloomy feeling? How could she also get one good hit in on that annoying CEO?

"...Heh!"

A fun idea flashed through her mind as she recalled yesterday's broadcast accident. If she did this... she could probably catch all three rabbits at once.

"No way..."

Unable to believe it, I sent Eos a "Free Yeon-woo During Broadcast Pass" as a private message.

This idiot really was a fool. Fuck. How could she act exactly like the CEO said she would?

"She actually turned it on right away?"

I followed Eos's instructions and joined both the stream and Discord. Of course, the account was just the employee account provided by the company.

Maybe because it was a surprise appearance during a break day, the viewer count was lower than expected.

...But with the uninvited guests who arrived quickly, the viewer count jumped several times higher than usual. As expected, aggro really is the best magic source for internet broadcasts. I should make a note of that for when I write proposals later.

Yes, yes. Chase them out quickly!

Ah, fuck? She was talking to me?

I immediately grabbed the mouse and entered chat moderation.

This guy was openly showing he came from the gallery while causing chaos? You get an immediate Sra 11-ban, you son of a bitch.

"Agh...!"

But despite my tearful efforts, there were so many troublemakers that cleaning it up wasn't easy. Was it because my body had changed? My banning speed was noticeably slower than usual. Maybe it was the equipment too.

Eventually, even Eos couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up herself.

As if she'd been waiting for exactly those words. A small smile appeared on Honey Eos's lips after receiving the fake-troublemaker chat. It was the mischievous expression Eos often made when screwing over other streamers during collabs.

"?"

What? I haven't heard anything about this?

"No, I keep telling you I haven't heard anything about a mic or anything! You damn honeybee bastards?!"

But despite my shouts, the broadcast continued.

Ding!

Eos joined the Discord where I was already seated.

She sent that through the company private message so it wouldn't show on stream. Then:

Eos, who had forcefully induced a response from the chat, put up a black silhouette on screen. It was a long-haired silhouette that clearly gave off the feeling of a beautiful girl. At a glance, it looked extremely similar to my current appearance.

"What the hell is she trying to do..."

The anxiety running down my spine made me unconsciously bite my nails. At that moment——

Grin——!

Eos's mischievous smile was directed straight at me.

"?"

Who the hell is that? Fuck?
