A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 138

I’ll do a broadcast that the Rebongi want.

I made that promise for the war against the heretics.

Then the Rebongi tried to bring out the type of game I hate the most, and I brought plans to avoid that situation.

Thanks to that, I managed to dodge that game I absolutely didn’t want to play, but… for some reason, I ended up having to do ASMR broadcasts, collabs, and singing broadcasts.

The only silver lining is that at first there were many suggestions to do all three in one broadcast, but it was split up because doing that realistically was impossible.

Why is this happening to me…?

“This world is so cruel…”

“I’m always on your side, so it’s okay!”

“Thank you…”

While Bora was rolling around in bed, fiddling with her phone, she suddenly smiled confidently for some reason.

I appreciate it, but it doesn’t feel like consolation.

It would be great if Bora could just do those broadcasts instead…

“Haa…”

For now, I resolved the collab by participating in content videos on the Health Project channel, but what’s left is the ASMR broadcast and the singing broadcast.

Among those, I have no idea what ASMR is, so I was trying to study from OnTube, but I just couldn’t understand it.

Why do they want this kind of broadcast? What’s so good about it?

Only questions arise in my mind about this broadcast.

…Well, I guess I’ll have to keep studying it?

Thanks to having about a month to prepare, I’ve got plenty of time for now.

As for the singing broadcast, well, I can just sing the songs I usually listen to.

Yeah.

No need to be unnecessarily anxious.

Who am I?

The Great Inquisition Officer who played the most active role in the war against the heretics.

“Heh… Phuh…”

“What’s wrong, Rene unnie?”

“Oh, it’s nothing…”

Today, I’ve brought something interesting!

[General Game | 5352 viewers | 00:01:11]

─Dun dan dun dan…

─Dong dong dong…

─Dun dun dun dun…

─Dan dan dan…

─Today, VTuber Rene, who turned red from embarrassment in front of her seniors, deserves major upvotes lol

…For some reason, when I stream as a VTuber, those kinds of chats often pop up before the broadcast starts.

Of course, I know exactly what those chats mean.

During the New Year,

When I accidentally didn’t turn off the stream after drinking…

After waking up in the Reverse Capsule and before sitting at the computer, I had been humming.

But why are they typing that now?

If they were doing that while I was streaming as Streamer Rene, I wouldn’t think anything of it, but it’s a headache when they’re doing it while I’m streaming as a VTuber.

So I once brought it up to the believers and asked why they were doing that.

─This is a hymn of the Iya Cult sung by Rene’s senior.

─For real, the believers are just sincerely worshipping the Goddess Iya, I don’t understand why this is happening…

─Are you embarrassed by the Iya Cult?

─Is this really happening while turning on your senior???

─Let’s go to the controversy tab with Rene (VTuber)~

─How dare they turn the divine senior around ㄷㄷㄷㄷ

─If you worship, you get criticized for it, and if you don’t believe, you get called a heretic… is this right…

─This is really too much…

─From the start, it seems cold to draw a line with other streamers.

─For real ㅠㅠ, we are from the same organization…

Those kinds of responses circulated in the chat window.

…Not that it matters, but what do I even say to the heretics? I don’t berate them just for not believing in Iya.

In reality, our cult never forces beliefs onto anyone.

Of course, it’s not the most important part right now.

Anyway, after those responses, I deleted chats regarding other streamers under the guise of prohibiting discussions about them.

─That wasn’t bringing up Rene’s senior, it’s a hymn of the Iya Cult.

─For real, maybe Rene is a heretic?

─This is something you’ll have to get hit on the head by the Warhammer of the senior Rene to wake up ㅇㅇ

─Looks like a heretic is here, Rene…

At that time, countless of those types of chats flooded in, and I ultimately had no choice but to give up.

Anyway, due to that reason, every time I turn on the broadcast as VTuber Rene, a dark past gets summoned.

Is the setup of VTuber Rene being a junior to Streamer Rene just unnecessary?

I regret… it…

“…Hello, everyone. I’m Rene, the Inquisition Officer of the Iya Cult…”

─Rhea!

─What game do you have today?

─Did you hear about your senior?

─By the way, when Rene has to do ASMR, singing, and collab broadcasts, she’s totally a different streamer, so no mentions! ㅎㅎ;

─You just said it all ㅅㅂ lol

─You’re really good at turning the believers around lol

“R-Rene senior mentions are something I prefer to bring up, so please refrain…”

─Hmm, I like the familiar taste…

─It’s delicious!

“Anyway, as I announced, today I brought a game that feels a bit interesting…”

The moment I first saw it, I immediately thought, what kind of game is this…?

After a brief search, it’s quite a famous game, but I think there are probably quite a few believers who may not know it?

“This game is…”

〔RPG Where Everything is a Spoiler — His Identity is Actually the Shadow Leader〕

As I launched the game, I was greeted by pictures filled with the unique charm of a Tsukuru game.

─Ah, this is haha

─What is this???

─It’s a Tsukuru game.

─Already spoiled from the start, huh?

“Right? Anyway, I found it interesting as soon as I saw it… it seems like it could be fun…?”

Pulling interest from just the title alone is impressive.

I figured the creator must be quite something.

Considering the nature of Tsukuru games, it probably doesn’t require much control, so even I, who have no talent in computer games, could enjoy it easily.

─Is this a Japanese game? There’s a translated version too.

“Yes… as you said, it is a Japanese game, but it seems there’s an official translation… just in case I looked into it, and it was actually a translation provided directly by the creator…”

Hearing this, it seems there was originally a separate Korean patch, but the creator saw that and officially made one.

Well, this isn’t a story to tell while playing this game, so let’s just play.

As I clicked the ‘new game’ button, a simple control method appeared, along with a brief explanation of the game’s world…

〔The Demon King, Sashilun Chakham, Threatens the Peace of the Spoiler Continent.〕
[The King, the Black Mage Animu, Asks the Hero of this Generation to Defeat that Demon King.]

〔The hero of this generation, Eyni Jugeum, sets off on a journey at the King’s request.〕

〔To assist such a hero, the previous hero, Inomi Bashinam, arrives.〕

〔What could possibly be the Demon King’s purpose…?〕

〔Who could the shadow leader threatening the Spoiler Continent be…?〕

〔RPG Where Everything is a Spoiler〕

〔─His Identity is Actually the Shadow Leader─〕

〔─Spoiler Alert─〕

〔The title of this game and the names of its characters contain major plot spoilers.〕
〔Thank you for your understanding.〕

“…Huh?”

This doesn’t feel like a simple world explanation; it feels like I’ve already seen the ending.

─Hahahahahaha

─So the previous hero is the shadow leader?

─I’m going crazy for real ㅅㅂ haha

─Ah ㅅㅂ Spoiler ㅡㅡ

─Got caught ㅅㅂ

─Is it right to spoil the game’s story during a stream…?

─Ah, I was going to play this game next week but now I can’t do it, for real.

“…Is there even a reason for me to continue playing this game?”

So the demon king is actually a good guy, the king is not the shadow leader, the protagonist loses their lover, and the supporting previous hero betrays them?

Why on earth are they doing this…?

─For now, I’ll keep watching ㄱ다.

─A game to watch the story (already seen all the story)

─What is going on…

─But I can’t not play, right…?

Sure, I can’t just buy it and not play now…

I nodded in agreement with this perfect logic and quietly clicked the game proceed button.

[In front of the Royal Palace]

[Eyni Jugeum: The upcoming adventures are undoubtedly not going to be easy.]

[Eyni Jugeum: What we’re facing is the demon king, Sashilun Chakham…!]

[Inomi Bashinam: It’s okay, calm down, Eyni. You have me by your side.]

[Eyni Jugeum: Inomi…].

“This guy. Trusting the one person you shouldn’t trust…”

[Shaman Frag: That’s right, Eyni. With us together, there’s no way we’d lose.]

[Shaman Frag: We promised to return to town and have pretty kids, remember?]

[Shaman Frag: So let’s think about our future with smiles.]

[Shaman Frag: I remember that proposal you said you’d give me.]

“Oh no… this character is going to die soon….”

Not just the name, but the dialogue is practically screaming death.

─How does the leader know all this? Did they come prepared?

─For real; they came prepared ㄷㄷ

─Sigh, it’s not fun to watch…

─Ah, I really liked Shaman Frag, the girlfriend of Eyni Jugeum, but the leader spoiled it.

“Please stop the defamation… you all actually know everything already…”

─How could I possibly know on my first try haha

─I really didn’t know (but actually do ㅎ;)

─For real, if someone sees this, they’d think you’re spoiling just based on the name and dialogue;

“Phuh…”

Why… why is looking at the chat window so funny…?

I can’t help but laugh at the game when the chat is like that.

“Khuh… Huh… Phuh…”

─I burst out laughing lol

─Honestly, if the believers are laughing, it’s major upvotes lol

“F-For now, let’s proceed… Phuh…”

[Eyni Jugeum: Inomi… Shaman…]

[Muncheong Hansaramu: We’re here too, Eyni!]

[??? : Krahahaha!]

[Inomi Bashinam: Wait! Up ahead! This dark magic…!]

As I continued to hold back laughter while progressing, what appeared in front of the protagonist was.

[Amdo Monju Kimda: The Demon King has no intention of waiting for the hero’s growth!]

[Amdo Monju Kimda: Therefore, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, I will kill you all here!]

It was the Four Heavenly King, ‘Amdo Monju Kimda.’

[Shaman Frag: What an incredible magic…!]

[Muncheong Hansaramu: If we let down our guard, we’ll die! Everyone, be careful!]

…Yeah.

Don’t worry, you all won’t die.
