A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 118

[Rene]

[Hello, I have an important story]

[Talk | 5639 viewers | 01:23:25]

“Haah…. Every time you guys act like this, it really frustrates me….”

─Hahaha!

─I can’t help but laugh whenever this girl acts like this ㅋㅋ

─It’s okay, Rene! I find it funny ㅋㅋ

─The fact is, Rene is a wickedly stupid streamer…

─These guys have just completely enlightened themselves ㅋㅋ

How did it end up like this?

I was clearly broadcasting to select my official channel editor, but now I had to refute ridiculous defamation.

Where else can you find a streamer as kind, clean, and reasonable as me?

No.

Well, it’s not that there aren’t parts I can’t admit.

Given my past, it’s no surprise I might lack knowledge… I’ve mixed up and gotten things wrong like the Pythagorean theorem, so I can be thought of as a fool.

That’s a very slightly understandable defamation.

But isn’t the rest just completely nonsensical?

I can’t even understand why my fans are so insistent about it.

“You guys should know how to admit when you’re wrong, just like I do….”

─You damn brat

─Wow, I just let out a curse out loud

─Crazy girl

─Is there a school that teaches you how to troll people?

─When it comes to trolling, it’s definitely Rene ㅋㅋ

─All the enlightened fans of Rene, let’s troll them all!

But this time, let’s just let it slide.

Of course, I’m not bad, but I realized the other day.

Being a streamer is a job that’s perfected by fans teasing you like this.

“Well then, back to the main topic, which channel should we officially use…?”

Personally, I thought number 4 was the most appealing, but my opinion isn’t the only one that matters.

In the end, I won’t manage it at all, and the ones who will watch the channel the most are my fans.

So it’s best to choose the channel that is the most convenient for them.

─Isn’t it just going to the channel with the most subscribers?

─I think it’s better to decide based on the subscriber count ㅇㅇ

“Hmm….”

After all, the most messages in the chat suggested deciding based on the channel’s subscriber count.

And the channel with the most subscribers at the moment was that of the fifth applicant.

The one who called me an idiot….

Well, I think that can fall within the realm of misunderstanding.

“Many people seem to think that deciding based on subscriber count is best…. What do you all think, other applicants?”

[Ah, I’m okay with that.]

[Personally, I thought that would be good from the start.]

[I’m okay too. I find ‘Wickedly Stupid Rene Lover’ channel quite interesting….]

[It’s a bit burdensome, but I’d appreciate it if you could go with that.]

─Hahaha!

─That channel name is ridiculous ㅋㅋㅋ

─I think it suits Rene’s channel the best…

─But they do edit it really nicely.

…Shouldn’t we find another way to choose an editor?
Selecting a channel like that is a bit psychologically….

[Wickedly Stupid | (🔔 Subscribed)]

[Simply the Pure Stupid GOAT | (🔔 Subscribed)]

[Please take care of our Stupid | (🔔 Subscribed)]

[Wickedly Stupid Rene Lover | (🔔 Subscribed)]

…What to do?

If we do it this way, there will truly be no one to pick….

“Well, I guess we should find another applicant….”

─Let’s just pick number 5?

─The fact is, we have to choose one among those four anyway…

─If you don’t pick from among them, I’ll unsubscribe immediately ㅋㅋㅋ

─Rene, no matter how I think about it, I can’t imagine you finding a normal editor…

─There’s a saying that wicked streamers attract wicked fans. I really love that story…

─No matter how I think about it, ‘Wickedly Stupid Rene Lover’ is too strong ㅋㅋ

★

In the end, after a long deliberation, my official OnTube was decided to be the channel of ‘Wickedly Stupid Rene Lover.’

The biggest reason was a lack of a definite solution.

Even if I sent all four of them back now and looked for new editors, would a normal person who fits me come along?

Would someone who likes my broadcast more than them and has better skills come along?

I had no confidence about that.

“Haah….”

─Justice is alive! Justice is alive! Justice is alive! Justice is alive! Justice is alive!

─Wow, I almost clicked unsubscribe just now~

─Don’t worry, Rene! This is the right thing ㅇㅇ

─Is it wrong to say that anyone applying as an editor is going to behave like that~?

The chat window was, as expected, a festival atmosphere.

Since this is now my official OnTube, the channel name is bound to change, but why do they love it so much?

Anyway, the main content I prepared for today is finished and now it’s time to talk separately with the editors.

“First of all… I’ll turn off the broadcast for a moment and talk to the editors… I’ll be back in about two hours for the next broadcast….”

─Oh, another broadcast is happening ㅋㅋ

─I announced I’d do two sessions today.

─Let’s just keep going like this ㅇㅇ

─Reba

─Bring back strawberry-flavored Melona when you come back.

“See you in two hours….”

[Broadcast has ended.]

“Haah…. Is everyone there…?”

[Yes!]

[Present.]

[Yeah.]

[I’m here~!]

“Um, regarding salary… To be honest, keeping all the revenue from the videos I produce feels too much of a burden, right…?”

[That does feel a bit tough.]

[It’s burdensome, and wouldn’t we get criticized if we were to work like that…?]

[I think so too. Frankly speaking, we’d only be refining what you create, Rene, so it’s unfair for us to take all the rewards from that.]

[More than anything, if that’s how it goes, the quality of the OnTube itself might drop over time. We might try to manage it ourselves, but there’s no guarantee that we’ll work as your OnTube editor for life, right? It’s possible that new editors might seek only profit and flood the channel with lower quality videos. So, it would be best for you, Rene, to clearly decide on this point.]

“Ah….”

I hadn’t even thought about those aspects.

It’s true that I should always listen to the opinions of professionals.

“But honestly, I have zero interest in managing OnTube…. So, I want you to handle everything, and I’d like to give you as much as possible….”

[Well, to be honest, I really appreciate you saying that, but still, it’s a matter of money. You have to be firm when necessary, I think.]

[I agree.]

[Since it started as a hobby, being treated this well is already more than enough for me.]

[I feel the same way.]

After a quite lengthy discussion, we wrapped up the conversation about OnTube earnings.

The maximum number of videos one person can upload in a week is set to two.

Salary…? Is just going to be shared reasonably from video revenue.

Since I said it’s okay to take all of it as long as I don’t say it outside, I got a massive scolding saying I could seriously get scammed later….

“If you need anything later on, feel free to ask anytime, and please take good care of channel management….”

[Ah, and regarding the videos that were on our fan channel, can we move them here?]

“Feel free to do as you wish…. I’m really going to entrust you all with everything related to OnTube!”

[…So, is it okay if the OnTube channel name stays as is!?]

“That is absolutely not okay.”

[Yes!]

Really, who would think I’m actually that silly, right?

[Ah, by the way…. Miss Rene, there’s one really important thing I need to mention.]

“Yeah. Please go ahead…”

[Um, how should we handle the videos when you’re acting as a VTuber…]

“That’s a different person, you know…?”

[…Huh?]

“That person is completely different from me….”

[Rene]

[Taking a break tomorrow]

[Talk | 6822 viewers | 01:43:31]

It is very rare for Rene to broadcast twice in a day.

…Of course, if we assume that the two different identities of Streamer Rene and VTuber Rene are the same, then broadcasting twice a day would be almost basic.

Anyway, ‘Streamer Rene’.

Or ‘VTuber Rene’ broadcasting twice in a day is extremely rare.

And during the second broadcast, which could be seen as a kind of New Year event.

“Ugh…. Huhhh…. What do you think you all know…?”

─Are you crying?

─Are you really crying?

─Crying looks so silly, is it normal??? 〔Deleted Message〕

Rene was.

“Seriously, you guys tease me as if I’m an idiot every time I broadcast without knowing anything….”

─Just by looking at what you’re doing now, I feel I understand the reason, Rene.

─To the newly picked editors today, make sure to leave this as a video ㅇㅇㅇ If it’s not saved, I’ll seriously kill you ㅇㅇ

─So cute, really ㅋㅋㅋ

─Just directly from behind, sh*t.

Rene was diligently babbling nonsense.

“Seriously, I’m not an idiot…. I just want to eat chicken skewers…. Fuihh….”

─No matter how I look at it, I think you really are an idiot????

Leaving the embarrassment to tomorrow’s self.
