A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 152

[Rene]

[Let’s talk while looking at the wiki]

[Talk | 7355 viewers live | 00:38:32]

It surprisingly didn’t take that long to read all the entries about me on the wiki.

Other streamers seem to take at least an hour, so why is there such a difference?

─‘Controversies and Incidents’

─Would time even show if I skipped an entire section?

─Information) The controversies and incidents section about Rene is really long.

─It’s only natural for a woman who lives life like she wants.

When I asked the Rebongi about this confusion, I was met with a flood of angry-sounding chats.

Why are the Rebongi so eager to see that section?

It’s bound to be filled with defamation and fabricated nonsense aimed at me anyway.

“Everyone… don’t you watch my stream because you like me?”

─It’s not that we like you… we love you, you bitch…

─Hey Johnson, stay quiet〔deleted message〕.

“Why do you want to see a document full of defamation when you like me…? Have you ever thought that I might get hurt seeing those things?”

─Saying that nonsense again…

─We love you even with those moments, so it’s okay, Teni, please just read it…

─So are you really struggling? Hahaha.

Well, that’s not true.

Words that are full of intentions to hurt by distorting facts don’t actually wound me.

The real struggle comes when pure facts torment me.

Anyway, it’s only 3:42.

There’s about 20 minutes left until 4 o’clock as promised.

I’ve read the entire wiki and checked most of the footnotes attached to the descriptions… so honestly, there wasn’t much to do.

─I heard that you’re the same person as VTuber Rene, don’t you have anything to say???

“Look, everyone… it says that on the tab, right…? I’ve mentioned multiple times that VTuber Rene is my junior… it’s really not worth reading…”

─Of all things, you bring that part up, huh?

─You still can’t predict my reaction, can you?

─It’s another streamer…

─Fact) If it’s Teni, whatever part is brought up, she’d complain it’s defamation.

─If you’re not going to read it anyway, can I spam the chat???〔deleted message〕.

“Anyway, the other parts are nonsense written by heretics, right…? I won’t be swayed by lies like that…”

The ones who stuck a nonsensical nuclear scandal on me were also heretics.

I don’t know why they do such things… I can only sigh in disappointment.

…Well, there’s no need to fill up the whole hour, right?

I can just come back at 5, and that alone will be enough for the Rebongi.

“Then I’ll conclude Part 1 here since I’ve read the wiki and there’s nothing else to do for the time being…”

─Go read the controversies and incidents!!!!!!!

─Listen to people when they talk, you little brat…

─Holding my breath until Rene reads the controversy tab.

─It says so, doesn’t it?

─Is this a new method of suicide?

“Well then, everyone, goodbye…”

[Broadcast has ended.]

★

The first thing I checked after ending the broadcast was the refrigerator.

I needed to make sure there was alcohol and snacks for the stream in an hour.

Alcohol… check.

Snacks… check.

Considering the time was lunchtime, I didn’t plan on drinking too much.

I had to take a one-hour break after the drinking stream and then stream again.

So, getting wasted would just be foolish.

Anyway, after confirming that I had enough drinks and snacks, I sat in front of the computer.

[Ah, yes…]

[Thank you…]

[I think it’ll be fine…]

After finishing the last checks, I quietly stared at the ceiling.

Honestly, I was scared.

Remembering what I did during my first drinking stream last time still made my head hurt.

Didn’t I call myself an orphan, act weirdly cutesy, cry, not end the broadcast properly, and even wake up singing a strange ditty after falling asleep?

I did all of that in one stream?

What’s wrong with me? Should I just die? It was only natural that such thoughts came to mind.

Of course, when I searched for it on Remagal the next day, no Rebongi seriously took issue with it. Instead, there were only those strange Rebongi who liked it…

Usually, it’s the person involved who remembers longer than the surrounding people.

If I could, I would have wanted to cancel today’s drinking stream right away.

Especially since when I searched in Remagal, there were plenty of Rebongi who wanted me to act like that in today’s drinking stream.

I sometimes can’t tell if these guys like me or hate me…

They probably like me, but it’s a vaguely complicated kind of like…

Anyway, no matter what, I plan to proceed normally with the broadcast.

After all, running away wouldn’t change anything, and it would be a waste of what I prepared.

But thinking this way isn’t a crime, right?

Yeah.

I really wish someone would just take over the broadcast for me…

[Let’s drink together]

[Talk | 6215 viewers live | 00:00:23]

─Rene says she wants to drink together, OMG!

─Gasp!

─Is it me?

─Rene, the people above are all bad guys, so you should never go along with them. It’s better if you drink alone or call a female friend. You can’t drink alone, and not with guys; it’s dangerous, you know? I’m not suspicious of you, Rene, I’m really worried about you.

─Kraaaaack, Manager!

─This long-winded response, I seriously want to kill you, lol.

─Why do I have to read such comments when there’s a manager?

─What’s wrong with her drinking alone??? (I really don’t know)

─…That’s true?

─Isn’t the male side physically dangerous??

From the start, the chat was a riot.

It’s fascinating to see people typing such concepts in the chat.

I wonder what kind of thoughts lead someone to type in such a way?

Is there some kind of institution that trains them?

If not, there’s no way they could torment so many people just through writing.

What’s more frightening is not even knowing whether it’s a concept or not…

“Hmm…. I’m back, everyone…”

─Current time… 4:55…

─She’s not even late, huh?

─Honestly, I thought a cancellation notice would pop up in the gallery, lol.

─That would be too trashy…

“As I announced earlier, Part 2 is the drinking stream… And don’t forget, I mentioned a special surprise guest will also join! Did you all make any guesses about who it might be…?”

─Is it Tuni or Harum?

─There’s no one else but those two, lol.

─Special surprise guest (not even curious because it’s too obvious).

─But suddenly, the entire Sirius Team shows up, OMG!

─Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies lies.

─Please delete delete delete delete delete!

─Those guys are gonna turn dark.

─Unicorn powers are really something, lol.

─But wait, isn’t the Sirius Team also guys?

─Kaeun in real life, OMG!

─Stop screwing around.

─How can we acknowledge a guy?????

─I don’t care if it’s Kaeun or whatever???

─All men are beasts, you little bastard! Protect our Rene!

─But isn’t Rene a beast too?

─Now that I think about it, that’s actually true.

─Is she the girl from upstairs that talks a lot?

─That girl is in elementary school, teacher…

As expected, no Rebongi could guess the identity of the special surprise guest.

I mean…

How could they possibly figure it out?

If I were in their shoes, there’s no way I could guess it.

If it were easy to guess, it wouldn’t be a special surprise guest.

“Phew… the guest is expected to arrive in 30 minutes, so should we start drinking for now…?”

As the reactions flowed as expected, my energy rose for some reason.

I immediately took a photo of the poured soju and the snack, takoyaki, and displayed it in the corner of the broadcast screen just like last time.

─Starting with red again today, lol.

─Going to order takoyaki now.

─Really, a girl from a bear country, huh?

─Isn’t that kind of snack not enough for 2 hours?

─How long will it take for you to get drunk today?

“Today, I don’t plan on drinking until I get drunk… I have other snacks prepared too…”

─The most dangerous type at a drinking party: Someone who says they won’t drink until they’re wasted.

─Rene’s dangerous side…

─Gasp!

─I didn’t think of anything, please spare me!

“Alright… everyone, cheers…”

─No alcohol? Is water fine?

─Honestly, I thought she wouldn’t do it due to her last drinking stream, lol.

─Even if she canceled midway, I’d have accepted it, lol.

─Dun dun dun…

─Cheers!

─Dong dong dong…

─Dun dun dun…

─Dan dan dan…

─Every time I see those chats, I realize how tough being a streamer is, lol.

─This dark history will forever be sealed…

…I just want to go to bed.

During the drinking stream, Rene didn’t really say anything important.

She just talked about trivial things, similar to usual.

Before I knew it, it was already 5:30.

─When’s the guest coming, lol?

─If it’s Tuni wondering when to speak, that’s hilarious, lol.

─Hurry up and bring in the guest.

Then, as expected, the chat eagerly searched for the special surprise guest.

“I’ve just been told they would arrive soon… Ah, here they are.”

Rene also caught onto that reaction and began speaking slowly.

─What if a random streamer I don’t know suddenly shows up?

─As long as it’s not a guy, that’s fine.

─Real talk, lol.

─Those crazy unicorns, haha.

Finally.

“Alright, here we go….”

Today’s special surprise guest…

“You all probably know her since she comes up often…”

─So it’s Tuni ending, lol.

─Bring Harum instead!!!!!!

─At least our nerd has a friend to drink with now…

“Say hello to everyone…”

[Hello….]

She appeared.

─Hahahahahahahaha!!!

─Ah, no way, hahaha!

─Is she actually insane, lol?

─I can’t believe this, I truly didn’t see this coming, lol.

─‘Goddess of Broadcast’

The Rebongi, realizing what was happening, laughed.

─?

─What’s this?

─What the hell is going on, you bastards?

Those who still hadn’t caught on threw questions in the chat.

Today’s drinking stream special guest.

Her name is…

[b][Inquisition Officer of the Iya Cult…. Junior of VTuber Rene…][/b]

It was Rene.
