I May Be a Virtual Youtuber, but I Still Go to Work

chapter 211



The stream itself wasn’t anything revolutionary.
What made it special was that Magia—yes, Magia—was playing a character who hates pineapple pizza.

Everyone in Parallel. Every fan in the Wol-Dungi community. Even people who weren’t fans, but had browsed the Parallel entry on Tree Wiki, knew it:
Magia was a pineapple pizza addict.
So tonight’s stream?
A once-in-a-lifetime kind of event.

Of course, not everyone came for the same reason.

[Sludgies, here’s your mission briefing]

Clip everything today.
We need to collect enough material to embarrass Magia later. Let’s go go go go go go go

— Parallel904: Do you really think she gets embarrassed over this stuff though?
ㄴ Parallel764: Fr lmao
ㄴ Parallel311: Have you even seen the kind of content she’s done before?

— Parallel090: Think about it. She’s the harem king of Parallel. She’s been rubbing shoulders, flirting, teasing—
You think this would embarrass her?
ㄴ Parallel841: Why are you so unhinged about this
ㄴ Parallel003: 😂😂😂
… ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …

[Don’t say it’s pointless. Just clip it.]

Every clip has a purpose.
Worst case, if someone makes a “Magia’s Cringe Museum” like back in Wicker Town, we’ll have entries ready.

— Parallel994: You’re a damn genius.
ㄴ Parallel252: HYYYAAAA
ㄴ Parallel845: It’s true lmao
— Parallel822: Sludgie here. This is correct.
ㄴ Parallel822: Just clip it. You’ll always find a use for it later.
… ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ …

While the Wol-Dungis—especially the Slugs—were busy hunting for clip material like their lives depended on it…
Most viewers were just there to enjoy the chaos.
Because this wasn’t just a different side of Magia—it was drastically different.

Ever since the Coral Blue ad, she’d been acting like a whole new person.
And it wasn’t that forced, fake-hype kind of energy either.
Voice acting isn’t easy.
Regular folks tend to giggle when they try to do “a voice.”
Or their tone slips off. Or it’s just awkward.
But Magia?
She had range.

She could study a voice, mimic it, refine it—
Just like she did with all the Parallel members’ impressions.
She’d pull from memory—other actors, streamers, voice lines—and lock onto a sound she could replicate.
That’s why her pineapple pizza hater bit felt perfect.
Even though she was doing a little girl voice, she could blend that tone with vocal filters or overlays.

This was the modern age, after all—
You could tweak your voice with AI-based tools to fit any character type.
Layer that on top of Magia’s acting chops?
And suddenly, a gruff, intimidating old man voice came out of the adorable avatar’s mouth.
— So when’s the guy who orders pineapple pizza gonna show up?
— Almost there.
— Soon.
— Just wait, any minute now.

Everyone was holding their breath.
Because no matter how committed Magia was to the pineapple-hater RP—
If no one asked for pineapple pizza, there’d be no payoff.
Then, mid-game—

He appeared.
A clean-cut customer, considered by overseas fans as the true villain of the game.
He always ordered pineapple pizza.
[One pineapple pizza, please!]

There it was. The moment everyone was waiting for.
Silence fell.
Then:

“This ain’t it.”
The way she said it—
Like some ex-hitman turned pizza shop owner.
“You… you order pineapple pizza?
What kind of degenerate are you?”

[Pineapple pizza, please! Extra pineapple on top!]
“Hahh, you lunatic.”
— ???
— LOL
— oh my god

Sure, AI voice effects were involved.
But AI doesn’t do performance. That was all Magia.
:: PIN1 has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: I pissed myself, helpㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ ::
— LMAOOOOO
— The voice doesn’t match the face at all
— fr 😭
— Cute face, terrifying voice
— Magia’s image is RUINED 😭😭😭

But for the Slugs, this was heaven.
Every word out of her mouth was a clip-worthy gem.
Hell, there was no need to make clips—the whole stream was gold.
“I told you to change your damn taste, didn’t I? I ain’t takin’ your order, punk.”

“Again?! I said I’m not making pineapple pizza!”
“You think this is pizza?! You think I’ll serve a pineapple-loving freak like you?!”
And there was a storyline, too.

The Pineapple Pizza Guy kept coming back.
Eventually, he claimed it was his mission in life to spread the joy of pineapple pizza.
Then he ordered ten of them.

And Magia responded—calm, collected, and deadly:
“Oh. So even though I told you never to come back, here you are.”
[Ten pineapple pizzas, please! Extra pineapple on all!]

“Fine. But instead of your precious pineapple,
I’ll give you a heaping pile of bell peppers.”
We’ve all been there—childhood flashbacks to being force-fed bitter greens.
It struck a nerve.
As Magia dumped peppers onto bare dough without even adding sauce or cheese, the chat lost it.

— AHHHHHHHHHH
— At least spread some paste omfg
— You monster lmaooo
— WHERE’S THE CHEESE
— Is this… is this even a pizza??
— This RP is INSANE
— She’s just throwing bell peppers on bread I’M SCREAMING
In the end, Pineapple Pizza Man was handed ten pizzas that were just roasted bell peppers on dry crust.
[You clearly don’t understand the magic of pineapple pizza.]

And with that, Magia… closed the game.
— ?
— Did she just rage quit?
— Wait, did she seriously turn it off??
— You didn’t save LOL
— bruhhh???
But this was an ad stream.

This translation is the intellectual property of .
Sure, she showed the game in a way that was memorable and hilarious—
But wasn’t an ad supposed to elevate the product?
No matter how chaotic things got, the standard rule was:

“Find something interesting and sell the fun of it.”
Just rage-quitting wasn’t a great look.
:: movgun has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: uhhhh wasn’t this supposed to be an ad stream…? ::

But there’s no way Magia didn’t know that.
This had all been part of the plan from the start.
She turned the game back on, voice filter off, and said—

“Actually… the ad hasn’t even started yet.”
— ?
— Huh?
— Wait, that wasn’t the ad?
Slugs raised their questions—
But then again, when they thought about it, Magia never actually said the second half of the stream was an ad.

She just burst in screaming, “I hate pineapple pizza!”
And everyone got swept up in the chaos without stopping to ask.
:: Anonymous has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: Wait, she really didn’t say it was an ad, huh? ::
— Oh?
— Hold up.
— fr???

Meanwhile, Magia noticed the viewership surge and casually tweaked the stream title:
[(🔴Live) The Person Who Only Makes Pineapple Pizza] 👪28,611
#PizzaDream #Parallel #Magia
As if this was the actual beginning of the ad, she greeted the chat:

“Welcome, all 28,000 of you tuning into today’s Pizza Dream sponsorship stream.
Hello! I’m Magia, assistant manager at Parallel. Nice to meet you.”
— LOL
— Wait this is ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) the real start???
— tf was the whole first part then 😂
— I have never in my life seen a bait-and-switch this hard

“To explain my stance on pizza a little… I genuinely love all kinds of pizza.”

— Liar detected
— Every time she opens her mouth, a new lie spawns
— ????
“I’m serious. It’s just that I happen to love pineapple pizza the most. And there’s a reason I stuck with it.”
And just like that—
as if she had no intention of letting anyone leave now—
Magia started sharing a story she’d never told before:

Why she became obsessed with pineapple pizza.
“It goes back to when Parallel was first founded.
Almost four years ago now.”
— She’s going that far back?
— Wait.
— Is she about to blame Momo for this

One user who dared to blame Momo was instantly given a 10-second timeout.
“Let me finish the story. I’ll explain everything, so don’t jump ahead.”
— Someone just died
— Okay we’ll be quiet
— Tell us we wanna know 😭

“So, it was early days for Parallel. The CEO and I didn’t even have a proper office—we used to work out of her apartment.
One night, we ordered pizza for a late dinner. We meant to get combination, but…
maybe the shop messed up, or the delivery got mixed up…
because what arrived was pineapple pizza.”
— ?
— That’s really how it started??
— is this real life rn???
“It was pouring rain that night. We didn’t want to make the delivery driver come back in that weather.
So we opened the wet box and just started eating.
And that’s when the boss said—”

“This pizza is just like us right now.
We’re starving. We can’t afford to be picky.”
“At the time, Parallel was completely in the dark. We had no direction, no clear plan.
She’d never run a business before. We didn’t know what we were doing.
We couldn’t afford to say no to pineapple.”
— oof
— that’s kinda deep…
— must’ve been rough

“But one thing we did have was resolve.
We promised we’d build a VTuber group in Korea with our own hands.
So from that day on, pineapple pizza became my symbol of success.
When I eat it, I remember that moment. And I remind myself to keep pushing forward.”
It hit people harder than they expected.
Anyone who knew Magia, knew how much she poured into Parallel.

Even members of the Slug Squad—who had viciously trolled her pineapple pizza obsession—started donating back-to-back messages of apology.
:: Anonymous has donated 5,000 Clouds! ::
:: I’m sorry… I didn’t know… ::
:: Anonymous has donated 1,000 Clouds! ::
:: I’ll eat pineapple pizza from now on. Go win, Magia. ::

:: Anonymous has donated 10,000 Clouds! ::
:: Stay strong. You’ve got this. ::
:: Anonymous has donated 3,000 Clouds! ::
:: Big Gia, delivering the feels as always ::

But then, right after raking in all that emotional currency, Magia said—
“…Actually, that was all fake. I’ve liked pineapple pizza since birth.”
— ?
— ??
— tf??

“My parents are ethnically Korean but American-born.
They liked pineapple pizza, and I just inherited their taste.
The story I told earlier was completely made up. Thank you!”
— ???
— EXCUSE ME
— YO
— LOL
— this chick is unhinged fr
— HAHAHAHAHA
— I CAN’T
— okay no way I’m the only one who fell for that
— lmaoooo
— Akka 😂😂
— Murasaki 😂😂
— Y’all got scammed 😭
— absolute comedy genius 💀
— she’s insane
The betrayed rushed to the forums to spread the gospel of the bamboozle.

And Magia, expecting that exact reaction, just smiled and said:
“Thank you for being such good sports.
Now then, let’s actually start the Pizza Dream sponsorship stream.”
