A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 55

[Rene]

[Hello]

[Talk | 453 viewers live | 00:02:31]

There are 453 viewers.

Just a month ago, that number would have been unimaginable for my stream.

But then the opportunity of the Albion Hunt came, and luckily, I was able to seize it.

Surely, the Rebongi who have been following my stream since the early days must be overwhelmed by the situation now?

─🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

─Rene, is this really okay? Teni, I almost froze to death here.

─I’m genuinely curious about what thoughts are running through this crazy guy’s head.

… Seems unlikely.

The chat window—a scene from the end of times.

There was not a single person defending me.

Instead, familiar usernames were lighting up the chat even more.

Could it be that they were angry I showed up earlier than the promised month-long break?

In that moment, I had that thought, but seeing the messages calling me out for why I’d returned was like, “Nah, it’s not that.”

Everyone probably had a rough day today.

If I give them the gift I’ve prepared, they’ll surely be delighted, right?

“Um, um.”

It felt awkward speaking into the mic after such a long time.

But overcoming that awkwardness, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Hello, everyone….”

─Why are you just showing up, Teni? Why are you just showing up, Teni?

─Sister, I was here waiting nicely…

─🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

─Info) This guy took a break and was playing New Dimension daily, and writing in the gallery journal every day.

─Is this what a Gallery Master is?

─What a malicious troll…

“From today onwards, I’m the Inquisition Officer, Rene….”

And as I said that, I broadcasted the prepared background and avatar to the screen.

─????????????

─What is this?

─No way, this guy is debuting as a VTuber?

─What the heck is happening…

─If this is what you had to do during the month, I’m done for, Rene, lol.

─What the actual VTuber?!

How did they know…

I was momentarily flustered but didn’t show it externally.

I simply continued to deliver my lines.

“Wow, it turns out a lot of people are watching on my first stream. Thank you….”

─First stream, LOL.

─The illustration is so pretty it makes me even angrier, damn it, lol.

─What on earth is this guy thinking with this stream…

“Alright, I guess I need to explain who I am…? I’ve worked hard to prepare.”

With that, I shared the memo pad with the notes I had prepared earlier.

[Name – Selene (please call me Rene)]

[Age – 17 years old]

[Occupation – Inquisition Officer of the Iya Cult]

[Gender – Unknown]

─Damn, it’s not even a PowerPoint, just a memo pad, lol.

─I’ve never seen a VTuber introduce themselves with a memo pad before.

─This is literally my first encounter with a VTuber, lol.

─So what exactly is this, you nerds?!

─There are nerds getting excited over stuff they already know.

“…Please don’t curse at each other, my fans, I will block you immediately.”

─Sorry!

After calming the tense atmosphere, I continued with the explanation written on the memo.

“My name is Selene. Please call me Rene. I’m 17 years old.”

─She got younger…

─I want my 20-year-old fresh newbie Rene back…

─If she’s 17, does that mean she’s a student?

“And my job is not a student, but an Inquisition Officer of the Iya Cult….”

─What exactly is the Iya Cult…?

─She seems to have prepared more seriously than I thought, it’s amusing, damn it, lol.

─Please, I beg you, stop talking about this VTuber stuff, teacher…

─It’s fun to watch, so why are you acting like this, you guys? lol.

─I’m sorry, Rene, I won’t curse, so please stop.

─Opinion) I think it’s quite good… I’m not a nerd, okay?

─The more I see it, the more I want to punch the Rebongi, but it’s super intriguing, lol.

Despite a lot of angry messages scattered throughout, many Rebongi were still focusing on my self-introduction.

“And my gender is… unknown.”

─Anyone can see you’re a woman, you crazy guy.

─Wha… what’s that mammoth dispenser, teacher…?

At first, I had thought of saying I was a guy, as I’d mentioned to Tuni before.

But then I began to think, is it really necessary?

Rene and VTuber Rene are completely different people.

If that’s the case, should I just say I’m a woman like normal…? I thought about that, but…

If I did that, my plans could fall apart, so I decided to officially state my gender as unknown.

In the first place, even if I claim to be a woman right here, most viewers already think my gender is male, so it wouldn’t matter anyway.

“Now, let me explain what the Iya Cult is about….”

[Title: It was already decided that this guy would debut as a VTuber]

[Author: ㅇㅇ]

Camera off. Uses voice changer to sound like a woman. Keeps insisting they’re an Inquisition Officer.

Honestly, the fact they never debuted as a VTuber before is what seems odd, ㅇㅇ.

[Likes: 25 / Dislikes: 1]

ㅇㅇ: Now that you mention it, that’s true.

[Title: Opinion) Now’s better than before]

[Author: ㅇㅇ🔹]

Instead of just seeing a pitch-black screen with just chat, even if it’s a bit nerdy, I think it’s better to have something there.

There were definitely times where I questioned if this was even a broadcast.

[Likes: 45 / Dislikes: 3]

ㅇㅇ: A bit nerdy, huh?

└ㅇㅇ🔹: Just nerdy.

Great Demon Rene: I think it’s better since there’s actually something.

[Title: I don’t know about the rest, but why does the panel look so smart?]

[Author: Here, without ㅇㅅㅇ, it’s great]

Is it really right for this malicious blockhead to use a beautiful, pure, and intelligent-looking lady’s panel like that…?

At least I don’t think so…

[Likes: 87 / Dislikes: 1]

ㅇㅇ🔹: Just slapped the like button on it, lol.

Takané: I laughed so hard just from looking at it.

Smart: Doesn’t our gallery have no conscience…?

ㅇㅇ: I was amazed at the panel the moment I saw it, but snapped back to reality when I heard the gallery master’s voice.

└Here, without ㅇㅅㅇ, it’s great: For real, why does that blockhead’s voice come from that panel?

[Title: Iya Cult Overview]

[Author: Nore Rene No Life🔹]

In the Iya Cult, there’s a male god named Tetra and a female goddess named Iya, and the gallery master belongs to the Iya Cult.

When the two cults fight, Iya’s cult always claims victory.

The goddess rules over things, but they don’t even know how far her powers extend.

Just that she’s a ridiculously powerful goddess, so she can do most things.

But the way they brag about it is kind of annoying (actual words).

[Likes: 39 / Dislikes: 1]

ㅇㅇ: I never expected that guy who always said he was a real priest would bring this up, damn it.

Malicious Line: ???: That Iya really is a bad woman, making me do all this tough stuff.

└Nore Rene No Life🔹: What the heck is this guy doing…

ㅇㅇ: What’s up with this pious priest cursing their goddess, really, lol.

└Nore Rene No Life🔹: Apparently, that’s separate from this.

ㅇㅇ: Not sure if the setting is detailed or just half-baked…

[Title: The gallery master is definitely a woman?!]

([A funny story while working as an Inquisition Officer?])

[Hmm… When heretics appear, I just go and make them repent, so is there anything fun?]

[Oh! There might be some memorable things from the stuff I ran into while wandering around.]

[Everyone, have you ever seen a really big tree?]

[When you see it up close, it blocks out the sky. People believe it protects them.]

[But at the end of the day, it’s just a big tree, right?]

[But when you see it in person, you kind of understand why they think that way.]

[Oh, speaking of that big tree,]

[Beiga was trying to climb it! It was super cute.]

[Who’s Beiga, you ask?]

[Ah, it’s Beatrice, a fox I found. That’s her nickname.]

[She’s a silver-furred fox, incredibly soft, and smells so good that just cuddling her makes me smile.]

[…No, it’s not great.]

[I rescued her when she was alone, but she keeps pestering me every day with the other priests.]

[She bothers me at every meal, and when I’m praying, she crawls into my clothes and takes it too far….]

[Hmph.]

[…But when I go out for work, she always follows me.]

[Even at bedtime, she always returns to my bed, so it’s not about dislike, just annoyance.]

[I hope she’s doing well….]

[Ah, she’s back in the hometown now.]

[But I’ve lost contact with everyone there….]

[I really hope she’s doing fine.]

What kind of guy talks like this…

[Likes: 68 / Dislikes: 2]

He’s harmful: For real, she’s just the embodiment of femininity.

ㅇㅇ: Got any real proof she’s a guy, hmm?

└ㅇㅇ: I’m not gay, but listening to her makes me hard.

└ㅇㅇ: So this guy is definitely a female.

└White Snowstorm: It’s gay, gay, gay, gay…

[Female Detector]: But really, when you look at the broadcast and the posts in the gallery…

└Female Detector: There are seriously many moments where you wonder how this is a guy.

└ㅇㅇ: The persuasive power from the username is insane.

Here, without ㅇㅅㅇ, it’s great: If that’s the logic, saying she’s a woman would have dramatically increased the viewer count.

└Here, without ㅇㅅㅇ, it’s great: Why would she claim to be a guy and use a voice changer?

└Here, without ㅇㅅㅇ, it’s great: The money she could be making would be on a different level.

└Here, without ㅇㅅㅇ, it’s great: Nah, she’s just a guy so don’t deny reality…

└Post by ㅇㅇ : Nah, she’s a female for sure.

ㅇㅇ: Opinion) Oh <<< I found it super attractive here.

ㅇㅇ: Haha, if she’s really a woman, that’d be hilarious.

└ㅇㅇ: I bet there’s going to be a ton of stalkers from the gallery, lol.

└Female Detector: You were the one who seduced me!!!!

“Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I turned on the stream….”

─Crazy girl.

Why is she cursing right as she logs on?
