A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 121

I wasn’t even tipsy, so I could have continued the drinking broadcast, but the drowsiness began to creep in, causing my eyelids to droop.

Reluctantly, I ended the broadcast and lay down on the bed, just before closing my eyes.

A thought I had almost forgotten came rushing back.

“Yawn….”

I didn’t log into New Dimension today.

I kept putting off the task of choosing an editor because there was more to do than I expected, and now here I was.

The time was 11:49 PM.

Fortunately, it was still before the day ended.

Of course, since New Dimension is a game, daily logins aren’t particularly important.

There are no login rewards or events going on….

But what can I say?

It’s a matter of pride as a gamer.

Since the opening of New Dimension, I’ve logged in every single day without fail; I didn’t want to disrupt this streak just because I was getting sleepy.

I figured I’d just log in for a moment and then go to sleep…

★

“Ugh….”

I somehow dragged my tired body to log into New Dimension, but the sleepiness still hadn’t vanished.

There was a safety measure built to protect users.

But since I was logged in, I thought I might as well wander around a bit, so I stretched and started walking.

It was nighttime.

The sky was decorated with the moon and stars like scattered musical notes.

Ah, the night sky is wonderful.

Looking at it makes my worries feel utterly trivial.

As I strolled, I noticed a bench set up along the village street.

I flopped down on it and raised my gaze once more.

The sky of Earth, the other world, and New Dimension are all similar yet different.

There are moons and stars that illuminate the pitch-black sky, but the constellations are completely different.

I loved the constellation Hilenia from that other world because it was so beautiful.

And when I came back to Earth, I searched for similar constellations, but there weren’t even any that resembled it.

Of course, there are plenty of beautiful constellations unique to Earth, which I liked.

…I never even thought about looking at constellations in my past life.

Life is indeed a curious thing.

One of the most notable features of New Dimension’s night sky is definitely the river of stars, the Milky Way.

It was really hard to see the Milky Way in that other world, and Earth was no different.

But in New Dimension, as long as it’s nighttime when you log in, you can see the Milky Way at any time.

I loved that fact so much.

…Bay used to get super excited and run around when she saw the Milky Way.

It would have been great if we could see it together here…

With that thought in mind, I slowly closed my eyes, feeling the cool night breeze.

Aqua Blue: If this doesn’t get saved as a video, you all can forget your lives, lol.

Kobokan: I bet they’ll edit it without saying a word, lol.

└Kobokan: It’s Rene, it makes no sense for her not to upload today’s broadcast ㅇㅇ

└Posted by: ㅇㅇ: Agreed.

ㅇㅇ: The whining was super cute, so please do more drinking broadcasts regularly…

Pioneer: This is a notification of killing the flow, isn’t it…

└Aprotia: The fact that no one is saying anything about it is even funnier, lol.

└Pioneer: The fact is that I also upvoted it…

【Title: But why is the Gallery Master so low on self-esteem regarding her looks?】

【Posted by: Planetium】

Not all streamers are incredibly good-looking, there are plenty of average-looking ones too.

Of course, looks matter for female streamers, but is it really necessary to say it that way?

(Rene Help Reaction Gif.webp)

Seriously, how can she have such low self-esteem when she takes care of her body like this?

Did she grow up hearing something nasty in the past?

【Upvotes: 2 / Downvotes: 15】

ㅇㅇ: Info) Rene is an S-Class beauty in the area.

└ㅇㅇ: That’s already been proven by Help and Tuni.

└Planetium: For real?

└ㅇㅇ: (Ne Kon)

Here there’s no one to bother us: I really don’t get why she’s self-deprecating.

└Here there’s no one to bother us: She thinks everyone will run away if they see her true self;

└Here there’s no one to bother us: People watch broadcasts for more than just her looks.

Airus🔹: Stop spinning this bait around, please.

└Airus🔹: This post will be deleted in three minutes.

└Planetium: ?

└Airus🔹: Go read the announcement.

└Airus🔹: Discussions about looks are prohibited.

└Planetium: Oh, sorry;

(Tuni Recently Related Question.mp4)

[‘What was your first impression of Rene when you met her in reality?’]

[Hmm…. I get this question quite often.]

[It is my broadcast, so why does everyone keep asking questions about Rene?]

[Ah, I see.]

[This is the kind of question that suggests curiosity about what Rene looks like, but instead of asking directly, they ask indirectly~. It’s the same type of question, I know.]

[‘Can’t you just answer since it’s true?’]

[Oh, you can’t just answer like that so honestly.]

[This pattern is quite new…]

[Anyway, as I’ve said many times, I won’t talk about reality Rene as much as possible.]

[I can’t say anything that Rene doesn’t want me to.]

[You’re saying I can mention first impressions since it came up during Help, right?]

[Hmm. Honestly, that’s not entirely wrong…]

[Then I’ll just simply mention my first impression. I was surprised. She looked nothing like how I imagined her. Of course, in a good way.]

She was really pretty and amazing! I want to meet her again next time!

Both reactions are showing that the Gallery Master really is a 165cm S-Class beauty…

└Posted by: ㅇㅇ: I’ll delete it…

ㅇㅇ: What’s this? Why are these being controlled?

└ㅇㅇ: Wasn’t the gallery supposed to be free from control?

└Daguras🔹: Are you genuinely asking, or are you a new joiner?

└ㅇㅇ: ㅇㅇ…

└ㅇㅇ: I’m genuinely new, sorry;

These idiots actually flooded in so much because of that…

When things were hectic, I deleted over 200 of those posts all by myself.

└ㅇㅇ: But doesn’t someone take legal action against those idiots?

└Daguras🔹: Those were posted right after the Help video was revealed, so those were the ones that got sued.
