Episode 139 – Perfect Durante (3)
Purple's Devil Must Cry public broadcast was broadcast through English-speaking countries and the headquarters' Japanese channels.
Among them, more people than expected gathered at 'CAP Company_USA', the channel in charge of broadcasting in North America.
‘No, it’s so early… … ‘
The staff at the North American branch could not help but be amazed at the number of people who gathered.
The time difference between Korea and North America was significant. Because of the size of the landmass, the time difference varied from state to state, but usually when it was night in Korea, it was morning in the US.
'Already 50,000 people?'
The employee swallowed dry saliva.
When I checked the viewer numbers, my nerves naturally got tense.
'If you make a mistake, it's over.'
It wasn't just because it was 'world's first' and 'exclusive'. It was because the work he was given was a bit special.
'Please, I hope there are no comments that are difficult to translate… …!'
His job was ‘simultaneous translation.’
The dialogue for the cutscenes in the game had already been decided, so the subtitles were complete. However, Purple, who was hosting the broadcast, said something different.
Since there was no separate script provided, there could not have been any subtitles prepared in advance.
Translation was inevitable in order to convey Purple's feelings and comments to the viewers, and the employee assigned to do so was him.
Although I felt like I had aged for a few years from the beginning, the broadcast went by unexpectedly smoothly.
'Wow… this is crazy, really.'
It was thanks to him and all the viewers that they were overwhelmed by Purple's play.
-Are you really playing manually?
-Is that how people normally ride bikes in Korea? You're so good at it!
-You're a Korean gamer, right? That level of skill is a given.
-Oh my god! I thought Koreans were only good at Craft Star, Mystic League, and Gunner Ground?
-lol, at that level you're good at everything!
-Gaming skills are not the same as Korean genes.
-But I've never seen a Korean do this.
-That's right, regardless of the country, that streamer's skills are amazing.
From the first battle with the imp, Purple left a deep impression on viewers.
Skillful bike driving and flashy shooting skills. It's a familiar physique to Korean viewers, but it was a huge shock to viewers in North America.
-Fancy action and great voice, perfect.
-That's right. As the name suggests, he is the 'Perfect' streamer for this show.
-CAP Company brought in the right people!
-At first, I thought they just used Asian models as per headquarters' instructions.
-What? Are you a racist?
-He's not 'Asian', he's 'Korean'!
-Someone is ruining the mood.
-Manager! Get that son of a bitch out of here right now!
From the very beginning, Lee Kyung-bok captured the hearts of viewers. And that popularity soared even higher in the next battle.
-You surf on a bike?
-Wow, this guy has amazing showmanship.
-I see why he is a 'Perfect' 'streamer'.
-Are real people playing? Not AI?
-There's a system correction? Isn't everyone overreacting?
-Oh? Really? So now? Avoiding imp attacks while surfing?
-Sorry, it was my mistake.
-Look at them teasing the imps! They're just like Durante!
-Are you sure this is your first time playing DMC?
-That's what I said from the beginning. There's no reason to lie.
The viewers were even more satisfied when Purple toyed with the imp that had rushed at him.
-This time it's imp surfing!
-I am now a fanboy of 'Perfectplay'.
-I get it now. You're all wrong. He's neither a 'perfect gamer' nor a 'perfect streamer'.
-What the hell are you talking about?
-He's the 'perfect' Durante.
-I totally agree. He looks like Durante straight out of a game.
The chat room was filled with excitement and admiration. The staff who noticed the atmosphere began to sweat.
'If the translation is wrong, I might lose my job… …!'
The more viewers liked him, the more pressure he felt. So the staff put their heart and soul into making sure that not a single word of Lee Kyung-bok was misunderstood.
The generous evaluation soon reached its peak during the boss battle with the Gargoyle.
-Did you see it just now?
-Bullet time control is an art!?
-Have you ever played a game that uses this ability?
-No, I swear this is his first experience.
-How do you know that?
-I've been a subscriber to his YouTube channel since Biocrisis.
-LMFO, he was a real devil!

-Everyone is crazy about him. Me too, of course!
Viewers were further enraged when Purple skillfully used the demon's powers and then subdued the gargoyle without those abilities.
-This is crazy! He's the perfect guy for the game title!
-Seriously, any devil who meets him will definitely cry.
-It's the first time I've felt sorry for the enemy while watching a broadcast.
-He's a real 'Badass'.
-Damn, if only he could speak English, he would be a bigger streamer than 'Goldmond'!
-Goldmond? You're satisfied with just 3 million followers?
-then?
-What happened to everyone's eyes? If he keeps doing this, he'll surpass 'Huediefie' someday, right?
-lol, that's too much of an exaggeration.
-Do you know how many subscribers Huediefie has? It's 100 million! 100 million!
-Idiots, don't judge him by numbers. He is valuable in his own right.
-Oh, I really like that. I'll have to make a note of that.
The viewers who had been so enthusiastic soon expressed their disappointment when Purple started analyzing the pattern.
-Why are the subtitles so slow?
-This is driving me crazy. It feels like I'm watching a video that's out of sync.
-Is it finally time to study Korean?
-I thought only K-POP fans learned Korean.
-We are Game Nerds, so it's not strange for us to learn foreign languages because of games.
– Then, what if he can do what 'Octopus Game' and 'BTX' couldn't do?
As the amount of comments increased along with the analysis, translation became delayed, and viewers who felt the difference began to feel frustrated.
Then one person started chatting.
-This is interesting. Is this the beginning of the 'Perfect Wave' rather than the 'Korean Wave'?
A wave that started with a streamer named Purple.
That was the beginning of the meme called 'The Perfect Wave'.
* * *
Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-bok, who was completely unaware of the situation on the relay channel, was concentrating on the cutscene.
“But is Divine Agency having financial difficulties these days?”
"yes?"
Durante suddenly asked Beatrice a question. Not only she, but the other knights were also puzzled.
“These days, mouth guards aren’t that expensive, so it might be okay to buy them one by one.”
The faces of the knights turned red at his subsequent words. Thinking back on the argument just now, they could quickly understand what he meant.
-Kya hahaha I'll eat it right away
-???: Hey! Stop barking!
-Oh lol I can hear it! I can hear it!
-So who would open their mouth like that?
-Paladins lol You can't do anything because of the saintess's eyes?
Beatrice was taken aback for a moment. Meanwhile, Durante walked past her.
“Durante, just a moment!”
She called Durante in a hurry, but he did not stop.
-Saint Nunaga is calling you, and you're ignoring her?
-Really lol If it were me I'd go right back to moonwalking
-Moonwalk okay lol
-This is what a real man means.
-You're a real man
-Ah haha no one can stop me
Beatrice continued urgently.
“Please cooperate with us. By joining forces with the sect, we will be able to more easily respond to the demon invasion!”
Durante stood still.
For a moment, Beatrice's expression brightened.
“Easy? Since when did easy become synonymous with laziness?”
He just turned his head and laughed.
Beatrice's eyes fluttered. Her lips trembled, but then closed.
It must be because I have nothing to say.
-Every word of Durante is like a jewel ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Joo-ok Matjji? Aren't you pronouncing it slowly?
-Oh lol, are you crazy?
-It's a bit sad that Saint Nunaga is here, but it's true, lol
-Ah lol. The decision-making speeds of freelancers and companies are completely different.
-The real church will probably wait for payment before going out.
-Is this the evil of bureaucracy?
“I don’t listen to anyone’s orders. Don’t bother me any more.”
With those words, Durante started walking again. Beatrice looked at his back with a bitter expression.
Could it be that you couldn't control your anger?
“It seems like you are following your own selfishness rather than the cause.”
“As expected, the blood of a dirty devil flows through your veins.”
“Saint, don’t pay attention to what that author says.”
The surrounding knights muttered words of discontent one by one.
-?
-A knight? Talking back?
-Ah haha this is a restaurant that accumulates dislikes
-You're a knight! You're a knight! You're a knight!
-Is it just a penis?
-No lol Are you crazy about drips lol
-Ah! These guys really look like genitals!
-I'm calling it a shortened form of Paladin. Don't misunderstand^^
-What a truly wonderful abbreviation^^
-Ugh lol, you guys are crossing the line
-Watch out! Manager, the knife is sharp!
The chatter of viewers who were dumbfounded continued on and on. Lee Kyung-bok paused for a moment and opened his mouth.
“Judging from the viewers’ reactions, the game was really well made.”
At those words, the attention of the chat window returned. Before even a few question marks could appear, Lee Kyung-bok continued.
“That shows how immersive the game is. I can really feel that the game’s level of completion is truly amazing.”
-Oh lol, this is how you package it? -As expected, the packaging is 'perfect packaging'!
-Is this the homework pro?
-Kya ㅋㅋㅋ This is why purple coins are skyrocketing
-But that's true lol
-Really lol If it was boring I wouldn't even be mad
-Aren't the King's players really immersed in the game because of the Godple play?
-Wow! Don't you understand the situation right now?
-Anyway, the game is well made lol
-Is this a moving show?
-Reallyㅋㅋㅋ Even the t-shirts are being packed
The chat room atmosphere changed from anger to joy at Lee Kyung-bok's comment. He smiled as well.
'I said they're all cute.'
The basis of broadcasting is enjoyment, and Lee Kyung-bok's standard was the same as before.
“Okay, let’s focus again!”
Lee Kyung-bok played the cutscene again.
Beatrice glared at the knights with a very bewildered expression.
“How rude… … !”
But she couldn't quite forget her words. She could see Durante standing still over the shoulders of the knights gathered around him.
“Dirty devil’s blood… … ”
He let out a sneer.
Even at the knight's insulting words, his face was one of bewilderment rather than anger.
“Isn’t it the sect that is nothing without that devil’s blood?”
“Durante, this is for me… … ”
“At least I hunt demons.”
He didn't give Beatrice a chance to make excuses. Soon even the sneer disappeared from Durante's face.
“I don’t rely on the devil like you guys.”
Beatrice squeezed her eyes shut. There was only one emotion she could sense on Durante's face.
It was 'contempt'.
-?????
-The church depends on the devil?
-How did it happen? How did it happen?
The viewers were dumbfounded by the completely unexpected words.
Fortunately, that question was quickly resolved.
“How dare you… … !”
“You are insulting the church!”
As the knights were about to step forward in anger, Beatrice stood in their way.
“From now on, don’t take a single step or say a single word without my order.”
“Saint… … !”
“That’s not wrong.”
She turned her head with a bitter expression. Durante moved further away in the meantime.
“Our knights’ weapons… …are made from demon blood.”
Soon she turned her gaze back to the knights.
“Collect the victims’ bodies. The demon’s blood will be harvested later.”
"All right!"
The knights moved immediately.
Along with him, the camera rose high up like a bird's eye view, illuminating the entire view of the highway.
The distance between Durante, wearing a red coat, and Beatrice, looking at him, continued to grow longer.
The screen soon goes dark.
-Wow lol the directing is good
-You need the devil's power to catch the devil lol
-Yeah, so it seems like the police got hit unilaterally
-Wow lol The knights are even more ridiculous
-Our saint Nunna seems to be the only one who is normal lol
The viewers immediately figured out what was going on.
After a while, the screen changed again.
“Ah, it’s the place that appeared in the teaser video.”
Everyone turned their attention back to Lee Kyung-bok's comment. It was the shabby office they had seen on the game show.
Durante was propped up on the desk with both feet up, looking through the holographic catalog.
-A bike?
-Ah lol the gargoyle got destroyed
-Isn't that why the office is shabby?
-Oh lol, when I was hunting demons, my bike blew up.
-But I can't go catch him by bus.
-Really lol Style is life, that's what I'm saying
Durante paused as he scanned the various bikes. Soon he wiggled his eyebrows and put the catalog away.
Then footsteps were heard from all directions.
-????
-What? What are you implying? -No;;; I want to buy a bike!
-Aren't those bastards here for revenge?
-Oh my gosh, don't put it in parentheses!
A light knock was heard. But instead of answering, Durante glared at the door.
Then the door opened.
“Durante, I… … ”
The person who opened the door was Beatrice. She opened her eyes wide, still unable to forget her words.
Because Durante's sword strike stopped right in front of her neck.
“If you need to donate blood, look elsewhere.”
Durante spoke to her in a cold voice, surprised.
With just that one line, Lee Kyung-bok and the viewers understood the situation.
“Ah, the reason Divine Agency wants Durante is… … ”
-It's because of the devil's blood supply!
-Oh! That's right! Since Durante is immortal, there will be an infinite supply.
-No;;; It was really like sticking a straw in
-Oh, f*ck, I hate mosquitoes.
-It wasn't a penis, but a mosquito, wasn't it?
-What the heck is a mosquito? Lol
-Looking at your attitude just now, it looks like you're going to really pluck it out while making excuses
-Really lol I don't think they'll even give you movie tickets
-Movie ticket reservation ok lol
Beatrice's throat moved up and down, but soon she caught her breath and opened her mouth.
“The cooperation I am talking about is not in that sense.”
"then?"
“… … I will admit that they are looking at you from the inside for that purpose. They only see the ‘devil’ part of you. But I… … ”
She raised her head and met Durante's gaze.
“I value your ‘human’ part more.”
-Ah hahaha, is it confirmed that she's the heroine?
-Hold on tight! The Saint Coin is going crazy!
– Hahaha, this is how you use a half-human, half-horse.
-The Devungi group has completed their membership in the Saints' Association.
-Nunaa! Me too… … Look at me too!
-How about we meet our mother's eyes first?
-oh!
-He died…! He died standing up!
-You killed him… …
The chat window was empty, but Durante didn't respond at all.
He looked at her for a moment, then put away his sword.
“… … Let me hear the story.”
“The matter is the same. I need your cooperation.”
“Then the answer is the same. I don’t listen to orders… … ”
Durante tried to refuse right away.
But Beatrice's words were faster than that.
“Are you looking for a way to go back to hell?”
The atmosphere changed at that question. Durante's eyes became sharp.
“… … How did you know that?”
“Durante, ‘how’ doesn’t matter. What’s more important is ‘knowing’ how to do it.”
Durante's pupils dilated.
Beatrice nodded her head slightly at his expression, as if she was wondering.
“I found a way. No, to be precise, a way ‘appeared’.”
Durante turned around.
Beatrice flinched, but soon a faint smile appeared.
Because Durante left the office wearing a coat and carrying a weapon.
“We’ll hear more details as we go.”
"thank you."
She followed him with relief. The hallway was as shabby as the office, and the door at the end of it closed.
A neon sign above the door blinks and glows red.
[Demon Must Cry]
The camera soon zoomed in on the neon sign. Then, with a bang, the lights went out.
And in the complete darkness, with a jiggling sound.
[Mission 1, ‘Immortal Demon Hunter’ End]
The red neon light came on again.
-Ugh! Immortal Demon Hunter!
-The prologue feels really good
-Wow lol This is something that the old men would like
-Ah haha I absolutely can't stand this haha
-No;; But why did it cut off when it was so fun!
-I learned something bad from the Bark team.
-No, it's more vicious. Unlike Bark, there's no trailer.
-Huh! Are we going to the next play right away!? Mom?
The viewers immediately erupted in screams.
But most of them guessed.
It was time to end the broadcast, both in terms of time and circumstances.
“Well, today I got to play Demerk for the first time in the world. That alone is special, but the game itself is of amazing quality.”
Lee Kyung-bok also judged it that way.
'Because you only have to clear one mission per day.'
The contract conditions have already been met.
Rather, the broadcast became longer because time was invested in conquering the gargoyle.
The chat window was filled with regret at his words, but everyone seemed to accept it.
-Wow! A world first!
-This is a godple class lol
-Oh lol, I'm saying that my homework isn't finished yet.
-Are you sure about the model student meta?
-But it's true that the quality is goodㅋㅋㅋ
-Really lol It's been a while since I've seen you
-5252, don't forget that the play you just saw is called 'Perfect-Durante'?
-What are you talking about ㅋㅋ Are you buying it just to see the saint’s eyes?
-Beatrice, you're a beautiful queen!
Lee Kyung-bok continued his closing comments by laughing at the chat window response.
“We’ll end it here for today. But tomorrow! The Demerk Experience broadcast will continue even at this time.”
-Pubba ㅠㅠㅠ
-Cuba ㅠㅠ
-If it's a released game, I'd buy it and try it right away, it'd be crazy lol
-This is the problem of monopoly.
-I miss you already… … (tears)
Lee Kyung-bok smiled and waved at the viewers' farewell remarks.
“Well then, good night everyone! Tva!”
* * *
After finishing the broadcast, Lee Kyung-bok came out of the capsule.
'I wonder if the live broadcast went well?'
There was no need to worry since he was checking the chat window himself during the live broadcast.
However, since the relay broadcast was handled exclusively by the developer, he had no way of knowing the situation. So he immediately looked for Smart Link.
"hmm?"
Before I could even grab the smart link I had set up, a continuous whooshing vibration began to occur.
'if?'
Could my worries have become reality?
But his spirit was calm.
Lee Kyung-bok immediately checked the notification.
'what?'
The notification that popped up was from the 'Team Perfect' group chat. He checked the contents right away.
[>ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ]
[>Hey! Park Choon! Are you watching me?]
It was a chat before the broadcast ended.
Choi Byeong-hun was very excited.
[>I told you not to call me that]
[>Will you have time to check the chat while monitoring?]
[>I saw it now]
[>It's definitely impressive]
Park Joo-ho was calm, but seemed to understand Choi Byung-hoon. It was a strange conversation, considering how the two usually bickered.
Lee Kyung-bok quickly checked the latest messages.
[>Wow! This bastard did it again lol]
[>If you see Kyungbok-ah's chat, check the channel right away.]
[>No, I'll post the link]
Although he wondered why, Lee Kyung-bok clicked on the link attached to the last KakaoTalk message.
A hologram showed his YouTube channel.
"……uh?"
Lee Kyung-bok's eyes opened wide.
[Perfect Play]
[757,000 subscribers]
Something was strange.
'It was around 700,000 right before the broadcast?'
When the broadcast ended, the number suddenly increased by 50,000.
There weren't any new videos uploaded. Choi Byung-hoon was probably still editing today's gameplay video.
But the surprise didn't end there.
[>Did you see it! Did you see it?!]
Choi Byung-hoon's message popped out as a hologram. Before Lee Kyung-bok could reply, a new notification was superimposed on top of it.
[>Wow! 770,000 now!]
[>The rice cakes are crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[>It goes up by tens of thousands every time you refresh!]
[>Crazy lol I have to edit but I can't take my eyes off of it]
Refresh.
Lee Kyung-bok saw the word and refreshed the channel window.
"and."
[791,000 subscribers]
What my friend said was true.
