A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 234

[I have an important story to share today]

[Talk | 9,413 viewers currently | 00:59:22]

Talking in a casual broadcast is, to put it simply, a communication broadcast.

It’s not just about sharing my experiences continuously; I also need to pay consistent attention to the mood in the chat window.

Of course, it’s always natural to care about the chat window atmosphere during a broadcast, but in a casual talk broadcast, it requires even more attention and involvement.

That’s why the messages that quickly pass by in a game stream become easily noticeable in a casual talk broadcast.

─But, did the host gain weight?

“…What?”

Just like that.

“Guys, hold on a second…. Um, ‘I’m Out of Breath’…? Can you explain what you meant by that chat…? You think I’ve gained weight…?”

─Gasp lol

─Rebongi, you better apologize fast… this is heading towards WWE territory…

─The reason you’re out of breath seems to be due to your own karma, doesn’t it?

Unable to let such a remark slide, I immediately sent a 1:1 message to that Rebongi.

“‘I’m Out of Breath’…? Please respond quickly…. I know you’re still watching the broadcast….”

[I’m Out of Breath: I’m sorry, it was just a joke]

“Don’t try to brush it off like that…. Do you really think that way…?”

After about 30 seconds, I received a response from that Rebongi.

“Did I really gain weight…?”

But the reason I couldn’t simply let this slide was that…

[I’m Out of Breath: No, I was just bored and joking]

“Is that really true…?”

In that other world, aside from the Inquisition and rolling around in my room, training took up most of my time.

Not knowing how strong the heretics I faced were, I had to keep training to survive.

And as a result, the body I had now was praised by Harum from the Health Project.

Well, compared to that other world, I had become so weak, it felt wrong to even compare.

But what was important to me right now wasn’t that.

Even after returning to Earth, some of Iya’s blessings still lingered, particularly the one that keeps my hair at this length.

And the blessing that keeps my body in top condition.

In other words, the body that Harum praised was being maintained thanks to Iya’s blessings.

But if I really had gained weight, as ‘I’m Out of Breath’ said, it would mean the blessing from Iya had faded away.

That was a matter of significance to me.

“If I look like I’ve gained weight compared to before, please tell me the truth….”

[I’m Out of Breath: No, really]

[I’m Out of Breath: If you talk about food every day while streaming, of course you’d gain weight]

[I’m Out of Breath: You piggy]

“…Huh?”

With that last chat, ‘I’m Out of Breath’ left the broadcast.

“Ah….”

─Holy crap lol

─They create such a vibe and then run away like that, what a jerk lol

─Out of breath… out of breath… out of breath… out of breath… out of breath…

─Cough… gag… please save our Rebongi…

…Certainly, the most talked-about topic in a casual talk broadcast is about food.

But me? I usually don’t eat that much.

I really eat very little.

Bora’s mom even worries that I eat too little when she sees my portions.

It’s just that food is the easiest and most comfortable topic to discuss.

“Everyone, please be completely honest with me…. Have I gained weight…?”

─You haven’t gained weight

“Are you really saying I haven’t gained weight…?”

─Hey, don’t say that to girls at times like this, okay? Just watch how I act.

─Rene, even if you gained weight, you’re still pretty, so don’t worry.

─Oh lol

─A Rebongi who understands the hearts of women, whoa!

“So in the end, it means I did gain weight…?”

─Uh

─I think I accidentally touched a nerve, what now, teacher?

─What to do? It’s a disaster lol

I ignored those chats and headed to the living room, pulling out the scale from the corner.

My weight is… Hmm. It’s the same as before, what’s going on?

In this puzzling situation, I put the scale back in its place and returned to my room to ask the Rebongi once more.

“Guys, have I really gained weight…?”

─Just admit it, you did gain weight, right?

─Got totally roasted by just one chat lol

─Yeah, you definitely gained weight, piglet.

─Seriously, you’ve been lounging around and eating at home every day, so of course you’d gain weight, you know?

─Seeing you get triggered by this shows you’re really a born woman lol

─You’ve learned how to get under your skin.

No.

What I’m going through isn’t in that sense….

“Ugh….”

─Sigh ON

─So go out and exercise a bit, piglet lol

─Power struggle ready ON lol

─It’s your fault for not managing yourself and now wanting to start a power struggle? (No idea)

The Rebongi started to misunderstand weirdly.

I wasn’t upset by the chat about gaining weight.

I wouldn’t be the type to worry about my weight, right?

I used to be a man in my previous life.

Sure, I’ve heard that nowadays even men care about their weight, but that has nothing to do with me.

I seriously wasn’t triggered at all, I was just concerned about Iya’s blessings.

I really wasn’t triggered. Yup.

But explaining this would be tough, and judging by the mood in the chat window, it was clear the Rebongi wouldn’t believe me no matter how much I said I wasn’t triggered.

“Everyone, I think I’ll end today’s broadcast here….”

─Ah, that foul-worded girl

─You’ve barely been live for 2 hours!!!

─You jerks, just please keep it moderate lol

─Kim Ryeopung, those jerks!!!

[The broadcast has ended.]

After ending the broadcast, I stared at the ceiling and thought.

The scale proved that I hadn’t gained weight.

Even I couldn’t feel that I had gained weight at all.

But considering that the Rebongi, who see me in the same way every day, brought up gaining weight, maybe there really is some reason behind it?

If this kind of nonsense rarely happens, then fine, but it’s the first time I’ve seen a chat about weight.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m the type to worry about my weight.

Even if I really had gained weight, as the Rebongi said, it would be my fault for just lounging around every day.

I’m a person who can admit to my faults.

I truly wasn’t triggered by those chats at all.

And well, so what if I gained weight?

I can live like this, right?

[Inquisition Officer: Is Harum here?]

[HP – Harum: Oh, hello Rene! What’s up?]

[Inquisition Officer: Is it still valid what you told me about exercising later?]

[HP – Harum: Huh?]

[HP – Harum: Ah yes! Of course, it’s totally fine! You can come by anytime!]

★

Receiving an unexpected message from Rene, Harum was flustered.

Of course, they usually keep in touch, but it was always on Harum’s side.

Now Rene was reaching out first and even mentioned coming in to exercise?

Harum thought there was no way Rene would come to her gym to work out, so she was still in shock.

But she couldn’t just stand there idle.

[HP – Harum: Rene, are you thinking of doing a broadcast that day?]

[Inquisition Officer: Yeah, I think so]

[HP – Harum: Then how about doing it together with our channel?]

[HP – Harum: I can be your PT!]

Harum thought the probability of Rene rejecting this offer was high.

Did Rene, who had built her body up to the point where Harum didn’t need any advice, even need PT? Most would surely shake their heads if asked.

Yet, Harum proposed this because she wanted to exercise with Rene.

She not only wanted to build a closer friendship but was also curious about how Rene used to work out.

‘If I openly ask to work out together, she probably won’t accept. She must be the type to want to exercise quietly, only at dawn when hardly anyone is around.’

Harum had come to understand somewhat Rene’s personality.

So she mentioned exercising together not as a direct request, but as a suggestion for broadcast content.

Even if the chances were slim, there was still a chance.

And Harum’s gamble paid off.

[Inquisition Officer: Yeah, okay]

“Yay…!”

It was a success.

[HP – Harum: Luckily, my schedule is free tomorrow, would it be okay to do it right away?]

[Inquisition Officer: Yeah, that’s fine]

[HP – Harum: Then I’ll contact you again after the meeting!]

“Everyone, gather in the meeting room!!!”
