Doing This For the Best (4)

As Genome's brief introduction ended, Decibel cleared her throat lightly.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself formally! 'Let's make the world noisy!'

I'm streamer Decibel!"

Lee Gyeongbok smiled at her energetic greeting.

"It's not even a broadcast, but your usual energy is impressive."

"I've seen it myself—Decibel is honestly the same on and off stream."

Genome chimed in from the side. Decibel simply nodded as if that was only natural.

"You should keep your broadcast comfortable! That way, I feel like the viewers can relax and enjoy it too, and I can have more fun. Especially with rhythm games, if you get nervous, you mess up more."

Lee Gyeongbok smiled at her words.

'There's a reason I get a good vibe from her.'

Since Decibel appeared, his divine energy had sensed her positive aura. Gyeongbok determined that one of the reasons was her honesty.

"Well then, let's sit down and chat comfortably."

At Genome's lead, the three of them found their seats.

"First of all, I was really surprised and grateful that you contacted me first."

Decibel put her hands together and spoke.

"Actually, I'm not completely unrelated to Purple."

"Huh?"

Lee Gyeongbok's eyes widened. This was their first meeting—how could they possibly be related?

"Well, not directly to Purple. In rhythm games, when you get a 100% full combo, it's called a 'Perfect Play.'"

"Oh, I saw you demonstrating that in your Anatomy of a Master video."

Although each game has its own system, most rhythm games display the number of successful note hits and your timing precision. Perfectly clearing every note was the ultimate goal for rhythm gamers.

"Oh, you saw it! That's why I used 'Perfect Play' in a lot of my Q-tube video titles. But after Purple started broadcasting, there was a kind of trickle-down effect? My views went up overall, so I definitely benefited."

"Oh, right. You'd come up in searches then. Does that mean you earned the Purple Coin before me?"

"Oh? If you think about it, maybe I did?"

Genome joked, and Decibel nodded brightly.

"So when I got your message, you wouldn't believe how surprised I was. And to top it off, you asked me to join as a Tri representative? As soon as I saw it, I thought, 'I really need to at least hear them out.'"

"I'm glad you weren't negative about it."

"Yeah, but... it'd be a lie to say I wasn't worried."

Her bright face quickly faded into concern.

"I only play rhythm games and I'm not good at other genres. I have tried a few, but they're tough for me. I never even considered trying fighting games."

"But because you kept at it, you became a master."

Genome lightly interjected, trying to shift the mood. After all, this meeting was to recruit her.

"But sometimes, if you've reached the peak, trying a new genre isn't a bad idea. You know Eclipse, right? He's a great example."

"Oh, totally. That's why I'm hoping I could be like Eclipse too."

Perhaps Genome was successful, as Decibel's eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Eclipse definitely seemed brighter after trying something new. But honestly, I'm not good at fighting and that kind of stuff like Eclipse..."

She started to look down again, but Genome darted his eyes around as if searching for the right thing to say. Lee Gyeongbok, however, remained relaxed.

"Even if you can't do it now, the fact that you're here means you want to get better, right?"

"Gasp, how did you know? Are you a mind reader or something?"

She crossed her arms, her eyes wide.

"I do have ambition. My viewers support me, but I want to show my streams to more people."

"Totally understandable, we're all streamers here."

Encouraged by Genome, her tone relaxed even further.

"Haah, but the problem is that rhythm games are really niche. All those awards Genome mentioned, I'm proud of them, right? In my genre, I'm at the top! But my Q-tube subscribers are only in the 100k range, and even my live viewers only get to about 1,000, maybe 2,000 at most."

Decibel's words sounded like a half-complaint, and she turned to Genome.

"By the way, I'm grateful for Anatomy of a Master and your help there. I really still appreciate it."

"Well, back then I said something similar—suggesting you try different genres from time to time."

"Yeah... but it hasn't worked out so well."

Hearing this, Lee Gyeongbok thought for a moment before speaking.

"It's because you haven't found it fun yet."

"Huh?"

"Watching your MasterDissection videos, I noticed you seem unable to forgive your own mistakes."

He hadn't watched those videos just to pass time. Since he needed to recruit and teach Decibel, he had to prepare a coaching approach that she could accept. To do that, he needed to understand what kind of person she was.

"Oh, that's true. In rhythm games, anything less than a full combo is meaningless..."

"Right. But you don't get discouraged by failure easily, either. Otherwise, you couldn't have become a master or won so many awards. You've got persistence—and stress resistance, too."

At his praise, Decibel's lips twitched. After all, this was someone famous for "perfection."

But not all that came from Lee Gyeongbok's mouth was flattery.

"But that's not the case for your viewers."

"Huh?"

"Viewers each have their own standards and wants. When someone like you does something outside rhythm games, your usual audience gets picky."

"Yeah... whenever I try something else, my viewership drops."

"That's what makes viewers turn away."

"You mean, trying other content?"

"No, I mean it's you, Decibel."

Both Decibel and Genome stared, eyes wide.

'Shouldn't he be saying something nice right now?'

Lee Gyeongbok paid no mind to their reactions and continued.

"I mentioned Eclipse earlier, right? When it comes to trying other content, Eclipse and Decibel differ in one way."

"What way?"

"Center."

He said this while turning his palm up toward Decibel.

"When you do other types of content, your main goal isn't actually enjoying that content, but expanding your channel. But Eclipse is different. He genuinely wants to do the new content."

"Oh...!"

Decibel let out a small exclamation.

"Since your goal doesn't match your feelings, and your viewership drops, of course you'd lose motivation. You'd naturally think it's better to just stick with rhythm games."

"Wow, it's like you're psychic."

Lee Gyeongbok simply nodded and smiled faintly at her reaction.

"Eclipse puts himself at the center, while you put your viewers at the center. Ultimately, what matters is whether you enjoy it."

"Ugh... I have nothing to say."

When Decibel shrank back, he waved his hand.

"But I wouldn't have made my proposal if I didn't think you'd enjoy Metal Punch."

"Me...?"

"You're the right fit physically and mentally. If you learn, you'll do great. You could even transition to being an all-games streamer, not just fighting games."

"All games?!"

Her voice leaped up a level, but then she looked worried.

"But... could I really go as far as joining a tournament? If I mess up, I could become a burden—not just to myself but also to Purple, who recruited me..."

"Well, there's a method I often use to explain things to my viewers during a stream."

Lee Gyeongbok replied confidently.

"If I show them directly, everyone believes me."

Early evening, PerG-Day LattePro fan cafe.

As rush hour approached, the cafe became even livelier. Office workers who'd finished their work but still had time left before going home gathered in.

[Is 500,000 won enough as a goods reserve fund?]

[Shouldn't we first ask whether we can buy goods at all?]

[Competition for this will be crazy, lol]

[Over 200,000 votes? What is happening?!]

[At this point, they should just do permanent sales, lol]

On Purple's board, goods talk was in full swing.

[I've never seen a broadcast where goods are this popular, lol]

[The odds are going to be nuts...]

[Honestly, who cares about the voting result, lol]

[I'll buy everything that releases regardless of my vote, I'm telling you, lol]

[Other smurf streamers estimate demand, but Godple is just ranking them?]

With goods voting and sample designs unveiled, anticipation was sky-high. Just then, a new announcement caught everyone's attention.

[Broadcast notice) Make the world noisy with Decibel!]

News that Decibel would do a collaboration stream quickly drew comments.

[-Who is Decibel? (Really don't know)]

[-If Godple is doing a collab, she can't be a small streamer, right?]

[-Plant Wiki ON!]

[-Oh, lol, looks like a rhythm master?]

[-Whoa;; Her resume is crazy.]

While Purple's fans found her name unfamiliar, they immediately looked Decibel up. The topic quickly shifted to this new guest.

[Decibel was even featured on Anatomy of a Master]

Someone soon posted her MasterDissection episode.

[-Wow, insane, seriously]

[-Is that even humanly possible, lol]

[-Looks like a Let's Go Set-To! recruitment right here]

[-With this physical skill, she'll be great at fighting games]

[-Anyone who tried Beat Sword knows how brutal it is, lol]

[-With her sense of rhythm, inputting commands will be a breeze, lol]

[-That Perfect insight, still on point?]

People watched the video and, after a while, noticed something.

[-Wait, lol, did Genome himself post this?]

[-OMG, why tho?]

[-A self promo? Lol]

[-King envy! For the views!]

[-This is just Chu Genome as usual, lol]

[-His sense for striking it big is on another level...]

It was Genome himself who had posted the clip.

After some playful teasing, the board buzzed anew.

[So this collab means Godple's gonna coach her, right?]

[Perfect-Coaching stream? Can't wait, lol]

[Another legendary episode guaranteed!]

[A coaching session from a streamer listed on IVO guides—this is rare!]

The LattePro fan cafe was as excited as ever for the upcoming stream.

* * *

Before the stream, in Lee Gyeongbok's studio.

― Host! Open the door! The queue's already packed!"

― Godple's punctuality is legendary, but maybe it'd be nice to break it just once?"

― ???: Godple and Decibel, come out now!"

― ???: Easy two coaching~ Easy two coaching~"

― Puffed corn for sale~ Fresh corn, too~"

― What is this, a bottleneck area? LOL"

Chatting from viewers already waiting scrolled up quickly. Decibel's eyes didn't stray from the chat window.

'Is she nervous?'

Viewers in the waiting room already topped 10,000. Gyeongbok was used to this, but it must've been new for her. He saw her trembling a bit and spoke up.

"Don't worry, just stream the way you normally do."

"Huh? You think I'm worried?"

Looking back at him, he almost laughed.

'She loves this more than anything.'

Happiness shows on the face—her eyes sparkled like a kid at a playground, but not just any playground: a massive kid's cafe.

"Wow, it must feel amazing to stream in front of so many people every day, not just as a one-off. I'm really jealous!"

"It's a privilege, for sure."

He answered calmly, reassured. Soon, the scheduled time arrived.

He smoothly moved forward and waved his hand.

"Trha! Great to see you all again!"

With just that greeting, the chat burst with emotes and friendly replies. He continued cheerfully.

"Now, you saw the announcement, but today we have a very special guest. She wanted to introduce herself, so let's bring her out!"

As he clapped, Decibel dashed out like a bolt. Wearing her signature pixel sunglasses and a broad smile, she waved.

"Trha! Make the world noisy! I'm Decibel, streaming rhythm games for Tri!"

― Starting high-tone, lol

― This girl totally lives up to her nickname

― For real, Decibel is loud, lol

― What's up with the sunglasses, lol

― Avatar looks young, this is totally MZ style

― MZ kids are good at Metal Punch, right?

― No, lol, she's a rhythm smurf!

― Why's everyone acting like she's already a fighting game player, lol

Her bright greeting brought laughter from viewers.

"I can't believe I get to appear on Purple's stream—it feels like a dream. Thank you so much for having me!"

"No, thank you for agreeing so willingly."

"Yep! Since this is a rare chance, I'll give it my all!"

Gyeongbok laughed and then looked into her eyes.

'Is she reading the chat?'

At every moment, hundreds or even thousands of messages flooded in. Most people can't handle it, but maybe a rhythm game master could.

'Though... her eyes are moving vertically, not horizontally...?'

He caught on to how her pupils tracked.

"Decibel, are you looking for someone in particular?"

His question flooded the chat with question marks—it was so out of the blue.

"Oh, I just wanted to see if my own viewers were here!"

When she answered, the question marks were for something else entirely.

― Eh?

― You can tell by ID?

― LOL, even I can't see my own messages in there

― For real, they're off the screen the instant you send them

― Only someone like Godple could read them, I guess

― But yeah, I guess it's possible if you're a rhythm game master

He laughed and said:

"I'm sure your viewers turned out. Do you have a special group nickname for them?"

"Oh, I do!"

Decibel beamed, looking at the camera.

"My 'Sibel-lom'! Please cheer me on today!"

Gyeongbok wondered if he'd misheard, but his senses had never been wrong before. Decibel spotted his look and quickly clarified.

"Oh! Please don't misunderstand! 'Sibel-lom' actually means pretty boy in French!"

― LOL, that's definitely a domestic inside joke

― Godple looks so confused, lol

― Why do I suddenly feel secondhand self-conscious?

― Are you ashamed of being Sibel-lom? Ashamed...

-???: She's a good kid...

Soon, even just a handful of "Sibel-lom" messages in chat made it clear to Gyeongbok what was happening.

"Oh, no worries. I've seen many similar cases already."

― A familiar vibe from a stranger?

― For real, after Genomes, nothing fazes me

― Honestly, sibel-lom is kind of cute, lol

― Definitely a catchy fandom name

No one was put off. Gyeongbok clapped his hands with a smile.

"Alright! I'm sure the quick ones figured this out, but there's a reason we invited Decibel today!"

"Yes, thanks to Purple, I've been recruited as the final participant for this Platform Showdown!"

"Exactly! But Decibel's never played Metal Punch, so that's what this stream is for! Let's get started right away!"

The chat seemed to know what was coming—but then, question marks flooded in again.

-???

― What's going on? Is this some kind of foreshadowing?

― Isn't she just going to play Metal Punch?

― Seriously, what did you prepare THIS time?

But the game Lee Gyeongbok ran wasn't Metal Punch. Glancing at the neon sign in the background, he spoke with a playful grin.

"When I was persuading Decibel, I told her: if you're good at rhythm games, you can be good at fighting games too. So it's on me to prove it."

"If you're good at rhythm games, you'll be good at fighting games. So if you're good at fighting games, shouldn't you be good at rhythm games, too? Purple offered to take up the challenge and encourage me!"

Decibel said, her voice excited. Regardless of the outcome, extra attention for her rhythm game genre wouldn't hurt. Plus, every game Purple played seemed to turn into a hit.

[BEAT SWORD]

The neon sign glowed as the game's logo appeared.

"So, for Part 1 today: rhythm games! This is a Beat Sword trial!"

At Lee Gyeongbok's announcement, the viewers were delighted.

― This is already in the bag, lol

― Unique Sword wields the beat, is that it?

― LOL, he could probably do it with the sound muted

― If so, it's not a rhythm game anymore, come on

-???: Ooh! Let's slice it up!

― Going for the perfect run, huh? LOL

It didn't matter what sword he held.

With a sword in hand, Lee Gyeongbok never disappointed.
