[KILL has gifted 10,000 stars.]

[BigBuffetBoy86 has gifted 351 stars.]

「BigBuffetBoy86: Proud America! God Bless America! My patriotism is recharged!」

「HellExpert: Hey... what the hell is with that president? Is his 「Politics」 around level 15?」

「Wilma: 「Politics」? As far as I know, the 「Days after Apocalypse」 setting doesn't have that skill. That's just raw stats.」

「HellExpert: Raw stats, fuck lol」

「AekDda: Damn, KILL brother, haven't you been spending way too big lately? Share a little with me too.」

「まつみん: 10,000 stars... KILL, are you okay? You said before that money was tight for you. Seeing you spend this much every time gives me a bad feeling...」

「SweetMocha: Isn't that kid maybe one of those? You know, people who even go into debt to throw stars.」

「100MillionDEBT: Yeah. There really are crazy bastards who do that lol」

「100MillionDEBT: And that's me.」

「まつみん: Σ(´д｀;)!!!」

「TeamLeaderKimMi-young: We offer loans from a tier-one financial institution with your organs as collateral^^ 0100-8282-****」

「HardGay: As always, you idiots have your bullshit all lined up. How do none of you ever change?」

「OldSpice: We're idiots with homeostasis.」

「life sentence: Homeostasis? Let's not use big words when we're idiots.」

「lemonade: Sorry.」

「life sentence: ...Why are you apologizing?」

「doomchitdoomchit: Because you're an idiot.」

「BlackCat: I think KILL is a loser cat with low self-esteem. Realizing that they are nothing hit KILL so hard they lost their grip on sanity, cat. KILL wants to throw money around even in a place like this so they can feel like they are somebody, cat. And because KILL has no confidence that anyone will love them, they cling to someone else's romance, cat. So in cases like this, euthanasia is the answer, even for their own sake, cat. KILL will die on their own if left alone, but this sort of thing is more fun when you help it along, cat.」

「BlackBroZack: I feel like you're right, but you might get sued for that lol」

「BlackCat: Your Honor. The post above was written by my house cat.」

「Saebom: Holy shit lol look at the timing of dropping the bit lololol」

「BlackCat: It's true, though.」

「KILL: I have nothing to say to you people. I'd like you to stop caring about what I do.」

「conservative_extremist: lol look how mad KILL got, that's seriously cute」

「UnderBlanketParkDanger: You're all wrong. KILL is using pressure tactics right now. Since Han Gyeoul is completely ignoring our demands, KILL is silently dumping money in to put psychological pressure on him. If Han Gyeoul has a conscience, he should please bang Lee Yura a little. Even if Han Gyeoul does not read the messages, he can still see the money coming in. Truly, I can only call this the model of a real man. Isn't that right, KILL?」

「conservative_extremist: What if KILL runs out of money doing that?」

「UnderBlanketParkDanger: KILL dies in style.」

「conservative_extremist: lolol」

「KILL: ...」

「GrapesOfWrath: I kind of get that feeling, just a tiny bit, because Lee Yura really does get more charming as time goes on. Not her looks so much as who she is as a person. Of course, I like Anne more. Yup.」

「HellExpert: Ah, but the Heavenly Emperor of America is seriously competent. Look at him even now. No matter what question he gets, he never gets stuck. He's relaxed too. He probably prepared in advance, but his ability to improvise seems amazing too.」

「Don't_NickPun: If we're judging by ability alone, he's about on par with our country's politicians.」

「conservative_extremist: Pfft lololol why is the damn scholar talking nonsense for once lololol Isn't the reason our country is relatively Heaven Korea almost entirely thanks to Afterlife Insurance? The politicians just hopped on the trend.」

「Don't_NickPun: Our government is competent. It simply doesn't work for the people.」

「Red October: If you put it that way, there are no incompetent politicians. They got those positions because they had something. President MacMillan is a very rare case where both his ability and character are top fucking tier.」

「RetiredYouth: Can't that top fucking tier president serve another term? If he did, I think this weirdly uneasy situation could settle down.」

「Red October: No. To do that, they'd have to amend the constitution. If his approval rating was running wild at insane levels, maybe, but because there have been all kinds of bad factors, including the Chink bastard who's still bad even dead, amending the constitution now would be a tall order. It could trigger a full-scale civil war on the level of the American Civil War.」

「Cashmere: The Chink bastard who's still bad even dead lol you're talking about Yang Yongbin, right?」

「Red October: Who else would it be?」

「storm224: That damn civil war... It wasn't long ago that I thought the practical ending was almost here, and now weird talk about coups and whatever is coming up... Why! Why! Can't I be happy even in someone else's afterlife?!」

「LendMeYourStrength: Uh, guys. I heard there was a U.S. president who served three terms...」

「Blair: There was, friend. During World War II, Roosevelt went beyond a third term and even served a fourth. As far as I know, he's the only case in U.S. history of someone exceeding two terms.」

「BigBuffetBoy86: Oh, really?」

「Blair: How do you not know that when you're American?」

「BigBuffetBoy86: I might not know. >.<」

「Meussiel: Hmm. Was it allowed as an exception back then because it was a national emergency? If so, shouldn't it be possible in this setting too? The quarantine war is a bigger crisis than a world war.」

「AngryNeeson55: That's a misunderstanding. It wasn't an exception. It just wasn't illegal at the time.」

「IngrownToenail: If it was legal, why didn't anyone besides Roosevelt do it? Did they lack the ability?」

「AngryNeeson55: It wasn't illegal, but it wasn't legal either.」

「FullTimeJessica: What kind of bullshit is that? Are these guys playing idiot too?」

「Blair: Nope. Saying it wasn't illegal means there was no law banning a third term, and saying it wasn't legal either means it was an unwritten code everyone followed on their own even without a law. Roosevelt ignored that tacit promise and tradition.」

「FullTimeJessica: Ooh...」

「Blair: The reason the U.S. Constitution got a clause banning third terms was Roosevelt too.」

「RetiredYouth: Anyway, that means MacMillan can't serve again. That's damn disappointing.」

「Nuclear Power: Agreed. Honestly, wasn't America getting this far in this setting all thanks to the president hard-carrying?」

「Red October: I definitely agree with that, but I still can't say what would've happened without Han Gyeoul. Think about why Anne is busy right now. Doesn't it feel like social unrest has been held back from the brink several times? Like a pot right before it boils over.」

「Nuclear Power: Is that so?」

「Red October: Yeah. I think having Gyeoul there saved them a lot of the costs that would've gone into social stability. He also gave them good news at just the right times. The public affairs office isn't fond of Gyeoul for no reason.」

「YeminROCK: Really... This was a channel I liked because it had a lot of things that don't exist in reality, but now it feels like it's starting to resemble reality, so I'm anxious. I can feel the malice of the world. Will this broadcast truly end happily?」

「まつみん: I'm worried about that too.」

「Tunguska: There's no need to worry...」

「まつみん: Still, whatever the situation may be, I'm glad our Gyeoul seems more relaxed than before. How should I put it? His heart feels lighter. Something good must have happened. ♪(*´∀｀)」

「HalfHome: What are you talking about? Han Gyeoul is always the same.」

「まつみん: I'm talking about his real mood. Not what he shows on the outside.」

「AppGirl: How do you know that?」

「まつみん: Can't you feel it if you look closely?」

「AppGirl: That kind of aura?」

「まつみん: Yes, yes.」

「AppGirl: Huh... I don't really know. What is she looking at to say that?」

「storm224: Ordinary Koreans like us shouldn't try to understand the superior Matsuming. There must be something only a pervert of that level can see.」

「まつみん: (╬ ಠДಠ)!!! How rude! I do perverted things, but I'm not a pervert!」

「MagnaCarta: Here we have a Japanese person making an unconvincing argument.」

「activeXfuckoff: What if the Afterlife Insurance Authority distributed an ActiveX that transmitted the Host's emotions?」

「Владимир: Shut up.」

「groseillier noir: Calm down, vodka.」

「Владимир: Is this something to calm down about?」

「HellExpert: Anyway, I hope Han Gyeoul handles this setting well. He's become the role model for my afterlife now... If this setting turns into a total disaster, I think my motivation would drop hard too. I'd think, If I die, I'll do even worse than this.」

「IngrownToenail: For real. If a game goes bad even when a talent monster of this level is also putting in the effort, then doesn't that mean a guy like me shouldn't even dream? How is that any different from when I was alive?」

「Don't_NickPun: No matter how hard an individual tries, what can they do if things start collapsing from places beyond their reach? Like fish in a reservoir when it dries up. People who act selfishly are scarier than drought. The limit of people is people.」

「Nuclear Power: There goes the humanities emotion again...」

「IngrownToenail: What I mean is, the more I watch this broadcast, the more my expectations for Afterlife Insurance fall apart...」

「NitrogenPack: Keep the bullshit within reason. You're watching a kid who doesn't use DLC at all and chooses to suffer, and what? Your expectations for Afterlife Insurance fall apart? That's so ridiculous I can't even laugh. It's always guys like this who whine later about Korea being a country with low happiness.」

「NitrogenPack: Just work on increasing your Afterlife Insurance funds, you idiot. With a few A-rank perks, your afterlife will be fucking happy.」

「AntiClique: Why are you suddenly combusting now? Look at you getting pissed because someone said something a little negative about something you like.」

「conservative_extremist: Nah, he's right. Afterlife Insurance is always right. If you die and don't even have one decent perk or one useful DLC, how lazy were you when you were alive? lol What's the point of the country doing everything for you if you don't put in any effort yourself?」

「HellExpert: Yeah, yeah, you're all right. You are, but don't you think once you start using DLC, you won't get the same satisfaction you felt watching this channel?」

「GoldenSpoon: You're the type to choke down a whole box of sweet potatoes just to enjoy one cup of cider.」

「LMAO: Exactly lololol You suffer while alive so you can enjoy yourself after death, so there's no reason to suffer again after dying. Isn't this broadcast fun because it's not suffering I'm going through myself? Doing it yourself would feel completely different, I bet.」

「HellExpert: Well, that is...」

「Red October: Enough. This setting won't collapse easily. Like Han Gyeoul's thoughts that showed up through Teletype, even General Schroeder didn't look like someone who was seriously worried in the first place. America is a country that's never had a military rebellion so far.」

「UnderBlanketParkDanger: Speaking of Teletype, what exactly was that American sentiment from earlier? The right to resist an unjust government by force? What does that have to do with rebellion?」

「Red October: Military nerds don't know everything. A local might know something.」

「BigBuffetBoy86: I don't know either.」

「Slow Wagon: I... shall explain...」

「Blair: What exactly does Yankee 86 know?」

「BigBuffetBoy86: I know fish and chips are food from your country.」

「Blair: ...」

「BigBuffetBoy86: And that they taste bad too.」

「groseillier noir: XD」

「Blair: Don't laugh, baguette.」

「Slow Wagon: The traditional resentment toward the federal government... held by residents of the southern region, where the farming population was large... was caused by the reversal of classes that occurred during America's industrialization... and the fall of the English-descended landowning class, finalized by the Civil War...」
