A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 263

[Neiter Space]

[Rene]

[Hello, it’s been a while #LeneSpace ← Please respond here]

[Listener Count: 877 people]

[The believers are crying…] [Just kill all the polar bears] [This place is hell…]

Anyway, it’s really time to wash up now.

The warm water has almost gone lukewarm, and maybe it’s because I’ve been smelling the bath salt fragrance for too long, but my head is starting to feel fuzzy.

“So, I’ll start washing up slowly… To be honest, my body feels so lazy that I don’t want to, but I promised you all earlier…”

[Of course, Lene keeps her promises lol #LeneSpace]

[Is it now? Is it now? Is it now? Is it now? Is it now? Is it now? Is it now? #LeneSpace]

[Could you please take a picture before drying your hair after the bath and upload it to Neiter, I’m begging you, it’s my lifelong wish… #LeneSpace]

“Ah, sorry about the photo… Since I’m a VTuber, I think you should ask my senior later for that…”

Of course, streamer Rene wouldn’t even do a bathing space like that.

[No way, you pulled out the VTuber shield here #LeneSpace]

[Thanks for the content possible because you’re a VTuber, but strangely, I’m starting to hate that you’re a VTuber… #LeneSpace]

[There are tons of VTubers doing half-cam, why don’t you do it? ㅠㅠㅠㅠ #LeneSpace]

[Started as a half-assed VTuber but got so thorough… #LeneSpace]

My cold refusal led the believers to start complaining, but I had no intention of changing my stance.

That’s what being a VTuber is about…

Eri had said the same to me, you know?

If you’re a VTuber, the person inside… In other words, you should avoid exposing your identity as much as possible.

Of course, that line has been disappearing over time, but that’s the essence of being a VTuber.

I heard that the first person to call themselves a VTuber became a hot topic just because it was revealed they drank water or something.

Anyway, the person who knows the most about VTubers around me is Eri.

So, I’m planning to follow Eri’s words entirely.

After getting out of the bathtub, I loosened my lazy body a bit and headed to the shower.

“From now on, it’ll be hard to respond while washing, so please understand…”

Anyone who didn’t hear Lene’s Space while working today is such a loser lol

‘The working fools are missing this.’

He was quietly holding back his laughter while writing that Neiter.

It was a teasing remark he could make because he was still a high school student, but that really wasn’t all that important.

If you just head to Remagal, don’t you see all those believers crying about not being able to hear Lene’s Space today?

Of course, there’s also a bond among fellow fans who like the same subject, so he felt a bit sorry, but… in the end, he just laughed, concluding, ‘Should’ve taken a day off if you wanted to hear it?’

Even Lene turned off her Space right after the bath and said her goodbyes, deleting the records left on Neiter.

Of course, most believers who knew Lene’s personality expected that she would do that as soon as the bathing space started, which is why as soon as it ended, a recording file was uploaded to Remagal.

There’s even evidence that someone directly asked Lene for clarification, and she replied, ‘I don’t know, so do as you please…’

In other words, it was still possible for those who couldn’t join the Space today to listen to Lene’s bathing space.

But there’s still one unchanging fact: the fact that they couldn’t listen live is set in stone.

Of course, the sounds in the recording file are no different from what he heard.

But the value of listening to that Space live in real time is definitely different from rushing to listen to the recording later.

Some might wonder what nonsense that is, but for the believers, that’s the truth.

It wasn’t just that they had to listen to a recording instead of the Space itself.

From there, they could say they were already out of the game.

“Haah…”

He no longer even remembered how he ended up watching Lene’s broadcast.

He was there when she talked about using a voice changer in her broadcast and was also there during the Albion raid, which became known as the original 16-person squad.

‘Who would’ve thought it would continue until now.’

Looking at it this way, life truly is something amazing, he thought, not at all like a typical high school student, as he logged into Remagal.

The topic was, of course, the bathing space that Lene had just held.

And among the topics, the one being discussed the most was… wanting to see Lene drying her hair in the concept post.

【Title: Why do you keep wanting to see our junior drying her hair?】

【Writer: Remagal】

Seriously, why do you want to see that?

Is it because you want to see that rare moment which would not be shown unless you were really close, where her upper clothing gets slightly wet from not fully dried hair?

Or do you just want to see the droplets flowing from her collarbone down to her chest?

Or maybe it’s wanting to catch a glimpse of her blushing face after getting out of the bath due to the hot water?

If that’s not it, do you want to see the looser fashion she wears right after washing, to make moving easier?

What exactly is it that you want to see? A different hairstyle that happens because her hair isn’t fully dry yet, or how her long hair flows while she’s using a hairdryer… Why do you want to see that???

Don’t tell me you guys are seriously saying you’re turned on by that?

No Rene No Life🔹: As soon as I read the first line, I immediately started crying and ran to upvote it, damn ㅠㅠ

Here it’s nice because there’s no ㅇㅅㅇ: This place really explains things well…

Pioneer: Damn, I’m seriously about to lose my mind ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

‘Wow, what a crazy guy who really understands.’

After reading that post with absolutely no part he couldn’t relate to, he felt entranced as he hit the recommendation button and wrote a comment.

Lene.

Real name Selene Benedetta.

She is both a streamer and a VTuber.

Engaging in those activities on the same channel while insisting that she’s absolutely not the same person.

And yet, she’s surprisingly thorough in her consciousness as a VTuber.

Although things are no longer like before, when just chatting could get you attention, he still held on to Lene’s broadcast.

“Haah…”

Seeing that kind of concept post naturally brought to mind earlier’s bathing space.

It all started with the faint sound of clothes dropping that was barely audible when it first began…

And now that he can understand it, the sounds of the clothes falling on the floor.

Combined with the unusual ringing in his ears due to the bathroom environment and the cries of the duck toy she mentioned she prepared for today, the sounds of water filling the tub, and the splashes of the believers’ chatter, it was enough to dispel any tiny doubts he might’ve had about her just ‘pretending’ to do this.

Of course, he didn’t even have those doubts initially.

He knew well that although Lene appeared to do whatever she wanted, she had never shown anything fake if it was for the fans watching her.

Having been watching Lene since the early days of her broadcast, he had that trust in her.

Right now, even after the bathing space, his memory kept expanding.

From the sound of her footsteps as she stepped out of the bathtub to the sound of water pouring out from the shower soaking her body.

Including the sound of her rubbing her body with a towel.

It wasn’t just the sounds that played, but countless fantasies started to unfold in his mind.

Of course, he realized that he had a perverted side.

But if someone were to say that while listening to his thoughts, he would want to ask them.

‘If you were a guy, do you think you wouldn’t feel this way in my situation?’

Eventually, he dashed to the backboard and downloaded the recording file to play it.

I will return when the channel ban is lifted now.

【Recommended: 55 / Not Recommended: 0】

Here it’s nice because there’s no ㅇㅅㅇ: I worked hard today, and I need to rest well ㅇㅇ;

─────────────────

And once he enjoyed that to its fullest, he was greeted by the notice of the two-day break from the two Lene’s?

But the gallery was just filled with positive reactions, and he too was smiling as he commented.

─────────────────

Daehwang Lene: Thank you for working this hard even with the channel ban ㅇㅇ

─────────────────

It wouldn’t be a lie to say he felt a sense of loss, but that was definitely sincere.

‘After all, the broadcast was already on hold, so whatever.’

Finally, tomorrow the channel ban will be lifted.

And out of the blue, Tuni and Eri suggested something to him.

[Eri Konomi: Lene, there’s a game tournament coming up, let’s participate together!]

[Tuni: It’s 100% possible to win if we go with Lene!]

…What tournament all of a sudden?
