054. Calm Chat Stream on the Terrace
Thanks to Drift, the operator was dealt with cleanly.
I decided not to worry about the aftermath.
If my stream got banned for this, I could just move to another platform anyway.
【Hottie Licker】─?? lol What's going on?
【Yoho】─Gasp. How did you kick out an operator?
【Qkrnfl892】─Drift is a hacker. lol
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. A seriously badass hacker!
【Gyejipsa】─Hacker!
【Drift AI】─I speak. I tell you to praise me.
Drift's chat oozed with smug satisfaction.
I guessed they were probably smiling contentedly in front of their monitor.
【BigGirl】─Wow. Drift, you really are a hacker.
【Dick Lover】─That bastard isn't just some ordinary hacker. It's a Cyber Wraith.
【Plum Tree】─Yeah, seems like it.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─If it's a wraith, shouldn't Plum Blossom be exterminating it or something?
【Plum Tree】─A Cyber Wraith isn't like a yokai. It's just a nickname.
【Qkrnfl892】─Okay, so what the hell is a Cyber Wraith? Fuck, you guys are talking about stuff only you know.
【Plum Tree】─I don't really know much about it either. Just think of it as a really skilled hacker.
【Dick Lover】─An acquaintance of mine described it as a digital lifeform. lol
【Min-ji】─;;;
【Hottie Licker】─Dick, does your acquaintance happen to be a mental patient?
【Dick Lover】─? That's a bit harsh, don't you think?
【Hottie Licker】─If Guburi were here, this wouldn't have ended this nicely. Consider yourself lucky.
【Dick Lover】─That's true.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I tell you that Dick Lover's acquaintance does not have a mental illness.
【Dick Lover】─You son of a bitch. Don't call my nickname something weird.
【Yoho】─Isn't that pretty much the same thing...?
【Hottie Licker】─fr lol
【Drift AI】─I say fr lol.
While the viewers chattered amongst themselves,
I was looking through the broadcast settings to help Guburi rejoin.
A ban meant they couldn't enter for a certain time.
It was something I could have left to Gyejipsa, but since I had nothing else to do, I decided to change the settings myself.
‘Ah. Wait, they didn't get a Permanent Blacklist Ban, did they?’
Just in case, I checked quickly.
And luckily, Guburi wasn't on the blacklist.
Next, at the moment I was about to change the re-entry cooldown setting.
『'Reformed Guburi' has entered the chat.』
【Reformed Guburi】─Ppooshung-ppashung!
I hadn't even changed the settings yet, but Guburi smoothly entered the room.
I asked, my tone surprised.
"What the? How did you get in?"
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? I just got in?
"You just got in? What's going on? I haven't changed the settings yet."
【Reformed Guburi】─Were they the same as before? Anyway, I don't know why I got in either. I had nothing to do after taking a piss, so I just tried the entry code, and it just let me in. So no ban.
【Drift AI】─I speak. I tell you that I changed the settings earlier so you can re-enter immediately even if you get banned.
【Reformed Guburi】─Oh lol thx.
Checking the chat, it seemed that while Drift was deleting the operator, they had also changed the entry settings at the same time.
Not only were their hacking skills amazing, but their sense was top-notch too.
【Reformed Guburi】─But where'd the operator go?
"Drift banned them."
【Reformed Guburi】─Huh? The operator? Fuck, Drift's hacking skills are insane. But why'd they ban them?
Guburi didn't know that they had been banned by the operator.
That was only natural.
There wouldn't have been a notification telling them who banned them.
I roughly summarized the situation and explained it.
"The operator banned you, Guburi, on their own. I thought that was pretty damn insolent, so I had that bastard banned."
【Reformed Guburi】─?? The operator was the one who banned me? Is that son of a bitch for real? What did I even do wrong... tsk tsk.
【Yoho】─Hmm...
【Dick Lover】─Honestly, you did do something wrong.
【Qkrnfl892】─You pull that sexpussydickPpaguri shit and act like a crazy bitch. lmao
【Hottie Licker】─Guburi is so damn shameless. Lick.
【Min-ji】─Do you not have a conscience?
【Reformed Guburi】─How is that wrong? It's fine in Gye Bastard-hun's stream. tsk tsk.
【Plum Tree】─You need to hold back when the operator is around.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. Doesn't know time and place!
【Gyejipsa】─What an idiot!
The viewers had a point.
Just like the viewers' opinions, the operator was at fault, but Guburi was also at fault for not moderating the level of their chat.
Even if I didn't care about explicit chat, they should have been tactful when the operator was present.
But I gave up on pointing that out.
Because common sense just didn't work on the abnormal.
【Yoho】─Ah. And when the streamer saw that Reformed got banned by the operator, he got really angry.
【Reformed Guburi】─?? Why did Gye Bastard-hun get angry?
【Hottie Licker】─'How dare you ban my precious viewer?' That's what he said, super pissed.
【Se-hun Defense Force】─lol But isn't Guburi more of a rare viewer than a precious one?
【Hottie Licker】─Anyway, Guburi, you better be good to Se-hun from now on. Lick.
【Reformed Guburi】─fr? Gye Bastard-hun did that?
【Plum Tree】─Hard to believe, but it's true.
【Dick Lover】─Yeah. Honestly, I thought he wouldn't care if Guburi got banned or not, so that was a surprise.
【Qkrnfl892】─Se-hun acts like that on the outside, but deep down he seems to care about Guburi? Is it because she's been here since day one?
【Reformed Guburi】─Whoa... I'm so moved my pussy is fluttering. Pant pant.
"Gyejipsa. Mute Guburi."
【Gyejipsa】─Wakyapya!
I immediately restricted Guburi's chat.
"I keep letting shit slide, and you're getting out of control, you crazy bitch."
【Hottie Licker】─fr lol Doesn't know moderation. Lick.
【Plum Tree】─Your chat is seriously filthy.
【Yoho】─When will Reformed ever get reformed...?
【Dick Lover】─That one's never getting reformed, not for life.
【Qkrnfl892】─Would be faster for her to die and be reborn.
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. The chat level was insanely high, and it just ended with a mute. lmao
【Gyejipsa】─Ended!
I considered banning them again but barely held back,
because it was Guburi.
***
Guburi's mute was lifted.
And now, I was looking through various streaming platforms with my viewers.
Better to prepare in advance,
since I could get my stream suspended at any moment.
"Hmm... Is that platform called Bagul Kingdom no good?"
【Se-hun Defense Force】─It's been around for quite a while, but it's smaller than here.
【Min-ji】─But that place is an adult platform.
【Reformed Guburi】─Oh! Are you debuting in strip streams?
"Guburi. Just shut your mouth for a bit."
【Reformed Guburi】─lol Sex.
【Hottie Licker】─Guburi keeps getting muted and she's gotten docile. Lick.
【Yoho】─What is even the standard for docile, I wonder.
【Min-ji】─I know, right...
"But there are way more streaming platforms than I thought."
We had already looked at thirty platforms so far.
Of course, most of them were practically dying platforms.
【Min-ji】─There's bound to be a lot. These days, it's the Golden Age of Livestreaming.
"The Golden Age of Livestreaming? What's that?"
【Yoho】─It means an era where women, who are fed up with real-life men or don't even get a chance to meet them, seek virtual men on the internet.
【Min-ji】─I was trying to explain that... *tears*
"...There's all sorts of stupid eras out there."
【Hottie Licker】─fr lmao
【Dick Lover】─Wouldn't it be more accurate to call it the Era of Leftover Women instead of the Golden Age of Livestreaming?
【Reformed Guburi】─Shut the fuck up, you asshole!
【Dick Lover】─Huh? Why are you getting mad?
【Se-hun Defense Force】─Seems like that hit a nerve. lol
【Yoho】─Dick Lover. It's absolutely not the era of leftover women. Even alpha-female types are getting sick of real-world men and are flocking to livestreaming these days. Male cam streamers who set a concept are nice to all women as long as they pay. And they never get angry.
【Plum Tree】─Is Yoho a Ph.D. in livestreaming? How do you know so much?
【Dick Lover】─No, you son of a bitch. I told you not to call my nickname something weird.
【Yoho】─I know because I'm an alpha female and I look up male cam streamers myself. heh.
【Reformed Guburi】─Bullshit. lmao
【Bubblegum Collector】─Wakyapya. A leftover female!
【Gyejipsa】─Leftover female!
Yoho's chat was a bit weird.
I was far from the male cam streamers Yoho was describing.
I didn't set a concept of being kind, I didn't take donations, and I was always angry and cussing people out.
So why was Yoho watching my stream?
Just as I was about to ask that question out of curiosity,
Hottie, who had been wondering the same, threw the question at Yoho first.
【Hottie Licker】─Then why do you watch Se-hun's stream, Yoho? Nothing matches those male cam streamers you mentioned.
As soon as Hottie asked, Guburi added their own chat.
【Reformed Guburi】─fr Our Gye Bastard-hun isn't kind, cusses a fuck ton, and gets mad for no reason all the goddamn motherfucking time, so why do you watch him?
"Hey, you crazy bitch."
【Reformed Guburi】─heh.
【Yoho】─The streamer is a different case from other male cam streamers. He's unrealistically handsome. heh.
Yoho's answer was pretty anticlimactic.
I guessed it was the face after all.
Well, who would like me for my personality anyway?
And it was a perfectly understandable answer.
When a person fell for someone,
it was no exaggeration to say that appearance dictated everything in reality.
I also tended to prefer women with beautiful appearances.
That was an unavoidable human instinct.
【Reformed Guburi】─What? That's it?
【Yoho】─Yes.
【Reformed Guburi】─You're disqualified. Get the hell out. I can't allow a son of a bitch who only likes Gye Bastard-hun for his face.
【Yoho】─?? Then what does Reformed like about the streamer?
【Reformed Guburi】─His dick?
【Yoho】─Oh, good grief.
【Dick Lover】─Huh? Has Se-hun ever revealed his Dick?
【Reformed Guburi】─Why the fuck would he have?
【Dick Lover】─kek...
"You morons... Stop with the useless chatter already and just find a platform quickly. Preferably one where we can limit the number of viewers."
After ending that pointless interaction,
we started looking for a new platform again.
Of course, I had no intention of actually moving if the operator didn't make an issue out of this incident.
This was just a contingency plan.
***
The conference room where the Chur platform executives had gathered.
It was currently in utter chaos.
"No! Why would you ban a viewer there?!"
"What?! Who was the one who suggested banning the malicious viewer to get on Gye Se-hun's good side?!"
"When did I say that?! I just mentioned that it might look good to ban that viewer!"
"That's the same thing!"
"This is no time for us to be fighting among ourselves! We have to get back into the stream and apologize quickly!"
"More importantly, how the hell did they ban an operator's ID?"
"It seemed like one of the viewers was a hacker. And it wasn't a ban... the ID itself was deleted..."
"A hacker?"
"No, what does it matter if there's a hacker or not right now?! Just log in with another operator ID at once!"
"Sigh... Why did someone have to ban a viewer from someone else's stream on their own and blow things up like this...?"
"Why are you staring at me? Are you implying this is all my fault?"
"But you are the one who made the suggestion."
"Didn't I say I only offered an opinion? Isn't the person who jumped on that opinion and acted on it right away at fault here?!"
The executives were busy shifting the blame onto one another.
Near the conference-room entrance.
One of the ceiling lights began flickering irregularly.
And a moment later.
Click.
The light lost its glow and went out.
"What the?"
One of the executives murmured quietly, looking up at the ceiling.
"Why did the light suddenly go out?"
"Sigh. Is this your first time seeing a light go out?"
Another executive snapped back,
as if a single light going out wasn't a big deal.
"Please, just forget about trivial things and log into the operator ID alrea—"
Click.
A second ceiling light went out.
Then another executive looked up at the ceiling.
"Huh...?"
"..."
Click.
Even the third ceiling light went out.
Now all the executives' gazes were collectively fixed on the ceiling.
At the moment they were all staring blankly upward.
Click. Click. Click. Click. Click!
The ceiling lights went out one by one.
As even the monitors on the table turned off, the inside of the conference room was plunged into darkness.
"Wh-What the?"
"...A blackout?"
It was just as the executives were panicking.
Flash!
The turned-off monitor abruptly turned on, emitting a blue light.
The executives simultaneously stared at the monitor.
An unidentified message was displayed on the screen.
