A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 67

[Rene]

[Hello]

[Talk | 1514 viewers | 01:32:51]

─Let’s all reflect together…

─I’m garbage… I’m garbage… I’m garbage… I’m garbage…

─I’m sorry, Rene… I’ll really try to live better from now on.

Something… something feels off in the chat window.

Why is that?

I don’t think I said anything weird at all….

Could it be that mixing stories from my past life and that other world created some oddness?

But it doesn’t feel like anyone’s blaming me….

No, why exactly are they apologizing to me…?

“Uh, um… everyone, I’m sorry if I spoke strangely… I’m not very good with words, so…”

─Why on earth are you apologizing at a time like this?

─Where on earth did you live…?

─I’m starting to understand your actions up until now, damn it…

─Thank you for growing up well, Tenren…

─Is it possible that you’re a middle school dropout due to your family situation…?

“Ah, yes… I ran away from home and I’m a middle school dropout… But when I think about it, I had fewer days I could attend school in the first place. I probably missed about 80… percent of classes… and wasn’t there even a school that would take me in anyway?”

─Why are you talking about this so calmly, damn it?

─Aren’t elementary and middle school mandatory education? Is it different overseas?

─It’s somewhat similar overseas…

Why does the atmosphere get weirder the more I talk?

No matter how poor my communication skills may be, I thought I improved quite a bit while broadcasting.

Was my improvement just an illusion, and have I instead been regressing?

“…U-Um, everyone! Shall we, um… play a game? I have some games I’d like to play with you…”

─Yeah, do whatever you want, Rene…

─If you want to, then go for it, alright!

─I support Rene when she says she wants to play.

Oh?

“…Is Jumping Up okay too?”

─Damn you!

─No, that’s not it, Tenren!

─Please just let me live…

─Rebongi declares today is the day Jumping Up Fever begins anew…

─(Torn Taegeukgi – Embarrassing Self-Portrait Meme)

─Look at this!

What could be the criteria, I wonder, but seeing the reactions of the Rebongi makes me feel a little relieved.

How should I put this?

It feels comfortable, like how friends tease each other while playing.

I don’t really know what that feels like since I’ve never had friends.

“Then, um… shall we do some PVP?”

─Let’s go!

─Ranked matches?

“Ranked matches… I probably won’t do that…”

…Or maybe?

Looking at the current vibe, it might be better to do something the Rebongi want, no matter how little.

While thinking this, I glanced at the chat window.

─Normal matches are also fun, okay?

─There are a lot of people who try to cut your build, and it’s often funny too.

─Ranked games are too intense, so they can be tough.

For some reason, they weren’t particularly fixated on ranked matches.

…Honestly, I have no idea why they’re acting like this.

I feel like it’s a bit harsh to say that to someone who’s had a hard life…

ㅇㅇ: I really didn’t expect such a story to come up suddenly.

【Title: Gallery Master’s Story Summary】

【Posted by: ㅇㅇ🔹】

Until middle school, she was abused at home to the brink of death, and then she ran away.

After that, she went to some facility (they didn’t say exactly, maybe because it’s sensitive), where she presumably did some work.

That work seems to be the Inquisition Officer job she often talks about?

It probably wasn’t easy, and she got hurt a lot and almost died several times.

She lived like that until a sponsor, who might be a Korean, sent her to Korea saying she had worked hard. It seems this sponsor has passed away, as referred to as a keepsake.

Due to the hard life she endured, she developed a hikikomori tendency + was rejected from all part-time jobs because she lacks work experience as a foreigner.

Eventually, she became a streamer and has come this far.

My personal guess is that when the Gallery Master plays as Albion, her being accustomed to the cold and such makes me think she might be from Russia.

The Inquisition Officer job she often refers to seems like mercenary work…

Draco: But isn’t that a bit exaggerated? Please say it is;

└ㅇㅇ🔹: I hope so too…

Nore Rene No Life🔹: At least now she has her own home and doing well, so that’s good.

└ㅇㅇ🔹: Yeah, for real.

Aoka: Don’t believe everything that streamer says.

└Aoka: Personally, I think the Gallery Master’s recent story is overly exaggerated.

└Aoka: I hope that’s true…

ㅇㅇ: If she’s from the Bear Country, I can kind of see how she could grow up like that.

I came here as a drifter to authenticate this without revealing too much. There’s a pretty big difference in someone’s voice when they tell the truth versus when they’re lying, at least when I heard it, and after replaying it several times, I didn’t feel it was a lie at all.

On the contrary, hearing that story makes past antics make a little sense?

There are some characteristics of people who are less socialized, and the Gallery Master often displayed them.

Arakt: Teacher, does our Gallery Master need therapy?

└Post by ㅇㅇ: If all of that is true, she absolutely needs therapy.

Airlus🔹: I’m sorry for calling you a trash can until now…

(Rene’s sponsorship response.mp4)

[Ah, thank you Coboro for the 5,000 won sponsorship.]

[‘I’ve been feeling really down lately and wanted to die, but watching your stream has given me a lot of strength. Thank you. I hope you, Rene, continue to have fun and stay strong.’]

[U-Um, it seems you have a lot of hard things going on…? I wish I could help with something…]

[Ah, you say just cheering is enough?]

[Uh… Coboro, fighting…! Let’s stay strong together. There’s a saying, right?]

[The opposite of suicide is to live…! If we keep trying our best, surely good things will come our way…!]

[Huh? You think I’ve had it harder than you?]

[Eh, I can’t say that… Everyone’s standards for hardship are different.]

[And while I’ve had tough times, it wasn’t particularly hard for me…]

Why on earth am I acting so kind, you wicked person…

Pioneer: Maybe we were mistaken all along?

└Pioneer: The Gallery Master might not be a wicked person after all…

└Post by ㅇㅇ: Was that the meaning…?

└Nore Rene No Life🔹: For real, other than messing with public sentiment and broadcasting however she wants, she doesn’t seem wicked at all…

└Pioneer: ?

└Nore Rene No Life🔹: ?

[Hello]

[Talk | 1614 viewers | 02:02:37]

=‘Goshajin’ sent a 10,000 won sponsorship.

But doesn’t Rene play AOS mode?

Current PVP win rate: 3 matches, 3 wins, 0 losses.

It was literally a perfect stream.

And the sponsorship that came in during that situation was quite sufficient to grab the attention of the Rebongi.

─Come to think of it, I heard that the host used to play AOS mode too.

─But hasn’t she done that on stream?

─She hasn’t done it on stream.

─Information: She was famous for playing a concept where she only killed the opposing priest in AOS mode.

─Information 2: When she had to go top, she would rather go with the bot if the bot had a priest, what a madman.

─LOL.

─So very Rene, LOL.

─If there are Rebongi who want to see that, thumbs up, LOL.

AOS mode.

Now that I think about it, I haven’t played it at all since I started broadcasting.

But looking at the chat window, there seems to be some misunderstanding; I never moved just to kill heretics when I played AOS.

In PVP, whatever play I indulge in, I take damage alone, so it doesn’t matter, but AOS is a team game with 5 people.

If I were to act just to satisfy my personal desires, we’d lose.

In other words, it’s not like I kept chasing and killing heretics, I killed them because I wanted to win and they just happened to be heretics.

“Um… everyone. Would you like to see me play AOS mode…?”

─A little?

─I want to see a lot.

─No matter what, it’ll definitely be more fun than that game…

─Honestly, I am curious, LOL.

─This gal is a 100% top lane nutcase, alright.

The chat window’s reaction is not bad.

Well, there are some weird slanders directed at me mixed in, but… how should I say this.

It’s much better than having everyone show weird reactions to whatever I say like before.

Then should I wrap up PVP here and switch to AOS…? That thought crossed my mind briefly.

Looking at the time, the broadcast has already surpassed 2 hours.

No wonder I feel tired.

Well.

Now that I think about it, since the clarification broadcast began, I’ve been talking for a long time.

It’s strange that I’m not fatigued.

“Everyone, then I’ll end today’s broadcast here, and I’ll play AOS mode tomorrow… See you next time…”

─?

─No, damn it, you should naturally do it now.

─Do you think it’s reasonable to end the broadcast after only 3 PVP matches for real?

─Tenren.

─Are these really the Rebongi who were just apologizing to the host earlier???

─Getting angry, then apologizing, then angry again, and then apologizing, LOL.

─Chat window vibes are seriously bipolar, LOL.

─This is the Korean Bipolar Gallery.

─No, this is where she keeps scratching us, isn’t it?
