Chapter 57
“Alright, everyone. We’ll wrap up today’s broadcast here. The next broadcast will…”
Parang pondered for a moment, going through the schedule in her head.
“Perhaps the next broadcast will be in two days. See you then.”
Yu Parang’s broadcast came to a successful close.
With the original purpose being an apology about the Brachiom Shock, she also followed up with two short segments.
Directly after the apology broadcast, she set the viewer’s discipline in check with an unprecedented flow, but since the apology was so neatly done and they had shifted the mood halfway with the coral garden,
It was clear that the atmosphere of the broadcast was quite cheerful, especially when the phrase “Wake Up” was thrown in as a joke.
While the host was seriously apologizing, viewers were only thinking of teasing her, resembling someone Parang used to enjoy watching in her past life.
By the time beer cans became the in-thing, the chatroom’s public opinion was mostly all about Parang.
Above all, establishing viewer discipline was something she did every day.
So the apology received positive accolades, and the broadcast itself was praised as well.
Community divides were, of course, rampant.
First, as a result of this apology broadcast, finally,
[ Damn, I created the Yu Parang Gallery so get out of the Hunter Gallery ]
[ Author: Faraway ]
You crazy bastards, is this the Hunter Gallery or the Yu Parang Gallery?
I’ve had enough so I’m diving headfirst into the gallery now.
Just get out of the Hunter Gallery, please.

– Wow, lol
– This is getting serious!!!
– (Worship Emo)
The Yu Parang Gallery, newly established!
They had always felt the need for it, but no one had ever volunteered to be an administrator, so the Yu Parang Gallery finally appeared.
Parang’s viewers, who had previously occupied the Hunter Gallery at every turn, finally got a space where they could talk without hesitation (not like they ever did).
[ What the hell? This jerk passed the baton to me and took off? ]

(Along with the message “Please receive it directly.” was a screenshot of the top admin appointment message and a 30-day ban notice.)
What the hell?!
– Hahaha
– Why did you even get made admin then?
Dude, that was forced too;;;;
– Lol, what a sucker
After a peaceful resolution, a die-hard fan who had followed Yu Parang since her first broadcast took over the admin spot, and naturally, the gallery filled up with people who would follow Parang endlessly.

The vibe was nice today, right? Damn it, I thought I could watch till the end today.
Our garden has been nice, why the heck are you throwing down discipline now?
– Honestly, it was the person who messed around with it who was at fault, right?
– That scene has ended, so come back again.
– Oh really?
– Yeah, seems like they’re going to end the broadcast soon, so get in quickly; they said there’s something about the host’s interview on the short stream.
– Oh for real? Thanks, I’ll hurry and check it out.
– Damn, that jerk’s going to face off!
– Hahahahahahaha
– Honestly, it was fun, though, lol. Just seeing the host’s flustered look was worth it.

This place is freaking beautiful, what the hell is this?
Those small fish don’t look like monster fish; aren’t they above the monster fish layer? If that’s the case, can I go too?
– Probably not, lol.
– I said probably not, lol.
– Damn, is that pretty? It’s just a total eyesore, damn it.
– I took a screenshot and sent it to Yu Parang.
– Is this real?
– Probably not.

I’ve never seen an apology broadcast wrapped up so neatly after the controversy popped up.
There’s sincerity in the apology.
No pathetic self-justification.
Solid post-event plans.
No emotional appeals.
She even said she’d compensate for the damages out of her own pocket.
And when asked when the next broadcast would be, saying “How about right now” while laughing, lol.
Is this person born to be a broadcasting genius or what?
– It felt like the standard for apologies, yeah.
– Honestly, I went in looking to roast her, but I came out empty-handed.
– Seems like she handled it well during the crisis, yeah.
– For real, if they’d been stuck unable to end the broadcast, the debuffs would have lasted longer, it could have turned disastrous, her response was quick.
[ What are you doing? Post it, lol ]

– (WTF Emo)
Of course, there were those trying to maliciously stir the gallery, but,
[ Damn it, you crazy bastards, why are you watching this, you lunatics? ]
[ Author: StatusEffectBroadcast ]
What the hell, the broadcast highlights are just gross images, for real?
– ?
– Hmm, is that all?
– (Is this real? Emo)
The average viewer of Yu Parang was surprisingly high.
Thus, the world where no one gets hurt was completed.
Meanwhile, Yu Parang.
After pressing the end broadcast button, she started to swim up slowly.
Heading toward the prearranged interview location.
By coincidence, both the interviewee Parang and interviewer Lee Siah resided in Pohang, leading to the interview spot being set at the sea right in front of Pohang.
With time overflowing, she decided to take a moment to enjoy the underwater leisure.
So slowly, slowly, up, up.
As Parang was ascending, something unusual caught her eye.
———……
In the distance, a distinctly abnormal shape.
At first, she thought it was just a group of monster fish moving in formation, but something felt off.
Strangely, was it clean? It gave off a suspicious vibe she couldn’t pinpoint.
Not able to just ignore it, Parang quickly swam over to check it out.
The current depth was 1km.
What appeared before her was a monster fish she had encountered before.
A red body in the shape of a “ㅜ” and big eyes.
It was Capulus.
As far as this went, she could have greeted it happily, but this time was a bit different.
No, it was a lot, excessively different.
“What the hell is this.”
Parang unconsciously muttered to herself.
Before her eyes was a swarm of Capulus.
Exactly a thousand Capulus were crowded together.
How did she know there were exactly a thousand? Because their arrangement was so specific.
Ten horizontally, ten vertically, and ten in depth.
The Capulus stopped at precise locations in a grid formation, about 50m apart.
All facing the same direction.
With such a neat alignment, Parang hesitated to interfere. This clearly seemed like it would greatly aid research on the Capulus’s ecology, and if the arrangement was disrupted, it would simply vanish in a bubble.
So, first, she decided to take a photo to send to Vertea.
– Wow
– What is this?
– I’ll head there right away.
– Send me the coordinates.
Vertea seemed unable to hold back and said she’d come rushing over immediately.
So Parang sent her the coordinates.
– I’m moving to warp now.
– Should take about an hour or two.
Two hours, eh?
If she spent two hours here, she’d be late for the interview without a doubt.
She couldn’t just wait for Vertea to arrive. There was no way she could do anything about it before Vertea arrived, as Vertea’s expertise would surely be more helpful for the research than her own.
So Parang closed her eyes and turned back.
She was curious, but she couldn’t be late for the appointment.
She would have to ask Vertea what happened later.
She set off toward the interview location.
And after a little while, when Vertea Pavron arrived at the designated coordinates in the East Sea,
“Huh?”
When she arrived, the Capulus had already disappeared without a trace.
Only the familiar scenery of the monster fish layer remained.
She searched thoroughly around but found not a trace of the Capulus — not even a shadow, and it was an absurd situation.
About three hours later, after finishing the interview, Parang received a long text filled with Vertea’s wrath, starting with a demand for the warp cost.
Parang felt pretty unfair about the whole thing, but what could she do? The situation had unfolded this way.
Thus, the mysterious creature, Capulus, shrouded in secrecy, once again successfully slipped through the nets of both Parang and Oceanos.
