Chapter 52

After the outing, one day I was summoned to my dad’s office.

“Please come in, miss.”

“Ah, hello.”

“When the boss finds out you’re here, he wants you to go straight to his office.”

“Ah… yes.”

By the way, my dad’s close subordinates and I, Seol Yun,

are known to have been adopted by our parents after losing ours in an accident while living in the U.S.

That’s our official story.

There’s no way we can say that we switched genders due to a rare disease, so the story got complicated.

When I entered the boss’s office, my dad sat in his chair with an obviously irritated expression.

‘What’s going on? Did he call me to scold me?’

“Seol Ah, come over here and sit.”

Thankfully, he didn’t ask me to stand in front of his desk to be scolded but motioned for me to sit on the sofa.

“There are a lot of evil enemies on the internet who say unspeakable things, dirty talk, vulgar words about our Seol Ah.”

Well, he doesn’t need to call them enemies.

Anyway, looks like he isn’t mad at me.

“Is that so?”

“I’ll put my best efforts into maintaining social order and justice, so you don’t need to worry. Seol Ah, you don’t need to do anything.”

“Hm…”

This situation feels familiar.

Ah, it was when the police station called.

I was scared they wanted me for something I did wrong, but it turned out I was the victim. They asked if I wanted to report and investigate a prostitution case.

My response back then was NO.

I didn’t want to get involved in unnecessary trouble because the punishments were so severe it might create unnecessary grudges.

But it’s hard to just say NO to dad.

It’s Dad after all.

Maybe the person in the world who worries about me the most.

Someone who’s more upset about bad things happening to me than I am myself.

Still, I have to say something.

“Is it really necessary to go that far?”

“Yes.”

So decisive…

‘Life-ruining sin? I don’t think this crime is that bad.’

As I said before, if it only ends up with a couple of million won in fines, I would’ve accepted it gladly.

But to become a sex criminal merely because of some obscene chats, and have one’s life ruined, seems excessive.

Maybe it’s because I wasn’t born and raised as a girl but lived as a boy for a while, so these topics don’t feel that sensitive to me.

Imagine if a boy shouted, “I want to do it!” in a classroom. The girls might look at him with disdain, but the boys would think he’s dumb. People naturally have sexual desires; why elevate this to the level of a serious sin?

Of course, if one can’t control their sexual urges and cause discomfort to others, that’s criminal for sure. But is it something that warrants execution? If I have to answer that question, I’d put a question mark. Honestly, that severe?

Even if the victim were me, my thoughts wouldn’t change.

“How about giving them a chance?”

“Chance?”

“Yeah, let them correct their mistakes and repent.”

“Seol Ah, how can you be so kind-hearted?! Our daughter is an absolute angel!”

“Stop it, Dad, it’s embarrassing.”

I feel like my limbs are turning into squids. I’m supposed to be a jellyfish.

And today, I’m back on the air.

“I think this is possible. People all have sexual desires, right? No one was shoving it in my face. I don’t think there’s a need to criticize things done in secret.”

<hic>

[Positive statement]

[Don’t fall for it! You need to listen to the whole thing in Korean]

[What?]

“Looks like Dad searched for those comments. He’s very angry and says he’ll punish them severely.”

[Hic!]

[As long as it’s not me, that’s fine!]

[Goodbye!]

[Cold sweat down the back for criminals laughing at this situation]

[Isn’t it pre-suing? They have already sued, right?]

[Erasing them now is useless!]

“Nonetheless, those might have been momentary mistakes. I’ll give one chance. If you delete everything you’ve posted so far, I will consider it. Please delete them all by today.”

[Hic!]

[Wow, what an angel]

[Troll]

[Undercover investigation is still alive!]

[Ah, it was all a setup before]

[What is this, sparkling cider?]

[Troll]

[Too Good]

[Big legendary figure]

[Why are you letting them off? I’m mad on your behalf]

“I mean, you can’t tell people not to lust, right? We’re not monks. But don’t expose it to others. I’ll teach you how to handle it. Open a notepad, write what you want, then if it seems like you’ll get sued, throw it in the trash.”

[Open notepad]

<laugh>

[Wow, this is gold]

[Using this method, I saved 50 million won for a deposit on a house! Thank you]

[Our grandma also avoided legal action using this method]

[Laugh]

[Can you buy a house with 50 million?]

“I’m not the kind of woman who enjoys that kind of thing either, and my family knows I’m broadcasting. If my daughter hears such comments, my parents will be sad, right? So please restrain from expressing those things in chat windows or on the internet. Everyone understands, right?”

[Yes, Miss!]

[Why’s your voice so soft?]

[I want to go to a kindergarten with Seol Sandee]

[Whoa]

[Niceness gone wild]

[Hold on, no bad words!]

[She’s so kind]

[Really]

[Big Legendary figure! I agree to marry Song Byung Hoon!]

[Is this actually a formal meeting for introductions?]

[Big Legendary Mother Seol]

[Confession: I’ve chatted poorly in the past, but I repent from today]

[Big Legendary Miss Seol! Big Legendary Miss Seol]

Is talking like this really something that deserves so much praise?

What do others do differently?

Hmm, I’m feeling a bit embarrassed, let’s change the mood.

“But honestly, your tastes are strange. How can you feel this way about a jellyfish? Do you enjoy getting stung by venomous tentacles or something?”

I pressed the keyboard shortcut that made the virtual jellyfish’s virtual tentacles wiggle.

[Is this setting still active?]

[Touchy-feely Seol Ah]

[The jellyfish voice is too pretty!]

[The white hands of the Legendary one]

[Yes! I like jellyfish!]

[Hey, calm down, the parents are watching]

[Nice chat, please]

These guys, they’re like toads that can’t help feeling attraction to jellyfish without acknowledging it’s strange.

I should just continue my broadcast.

“To increase subscriptions, we need to meet the condition of broadcasting on at least 12 different days over a month, so it might take a while. As for Nertube, the editor is busy making the video, so please wait a little longer.”

[Didn’t do 12 broadcasts but 13K subs lol]

[This lady is a god!]

[Why is everything going so smoothly? Like a corporate streamer]

[Corporate-streamer Big Legendary figure (jellyfish)]

[Does this count as a Bertuber?]

[Na Jaksu is always doing something weird while filming making it super fun]

[Is this the rumored streamer growing together with the audience?]

[Is the audience of 13K growing more?]

[Our kid is too big now. Not talented, but like a monster]

[Historic monster streamer Big Legendary figure]

[Everyone, don’t forget to leave post-show reviews on Ryte-it]

[Is it okay to leave locked midnight reflections?]

[That’s not us doing that, that’s torture for the streamer]

[Ahhhh]

“What are locks and usas?”

I asked about the words I didn’t know.

Followed by the viewers’ kind explanations.

[Explanation] Lock: Secret posts left on Ryte-it bulletin boards, usually love letters, meant to bother the streamer.

[Explanation 2] Usa (Boyfriend or Girlfriend): Bad viewers who treat the streamer as their partner, giving random advice while boiling with romantic feelings. Similar to Yooksoo.

Ah, thank you for the explanation which makes me want to forget everything I’ve heard.

Because I dislike those things, I used a jellyfish model, but maybe it’s not working very well.

“Let’s start the game broadcast, shall we?”

[Will we take the top rank?]

[Let’s go get that Big Victory’s neck]

[Another new legend starts!]

[Damn, I’ve been waiting for this!]

Forget it.

I’m a game streamer, let’s do the game.
