A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 76

[Rene]

[I’m really an idiot]

[Talk | 1623 viewers | 01:19:36]

【3 correct answers.】

【You are in the top 58 percent.】

3 out of 30 questions.

In other words, my accuracy rate in this quiz was 10 percent.

And before me, the brutal words from the game site flashed through my mind.

─I told you, Rene, 80 percent is absolutely impossible, LOL!

─I’m really an idiot. I’m really an idiot. I’m really an idiot. I’m really an idiot.

─What should I do if I don’t understand even when you give me a hint…?

─??? : So, should I challenge to get over 80 percent? If I succeed, I’ll change the broadcast title.

─??? : Hmph. I’ll go for 80 percent. I’m not an idiot, you know?

─??? : Just keep watching, everyone…!

─Surprisingly, all of this was something I actually said.

─It’s legendary that all those words came out in less than five minutes, LOL!

─As expected, flag retrieval is Rene’s specialty, LOL!

─Poor Rene, who doesn’t understand human malice…

─The reactions in between are just delicious, it’s a true feast.

─It’s okay, Rene. I’ll love you even if you’re that dimwit…

─They say a woman’s foolishness is her charm, right?

─No matter how dim-witted Rene is, she’s a genius in broadcasting and femininity, so it’s fine.

─Dimwit and female are a bit much though;;

─Are you guys saying Rene is an idiot, lewd female, with absolutely no common sense?

I’m embarrassed. I’m so embarrassed that my face is getting hot.

The chat room’s audience… no, believers were happily teasing me about my fate.

“This, this is… invalid…”

─I’m sure there was a chance, but didn’t you just kick it away yourself?

─So cute, damn it, LOL!

─The fact is, the believers gave chances up to a point…

─You’re the one who proved you’re a real dimwit by trying to maintain your pride.

─Dimwit Rene.

─At times like this, let’s just admit it wholeheartedly, yeah?

─Admit it or not, she is just a dimwit, LOL!

─Your voice is seriously alluring, for real.

─Invalidityyyyyyyyyyy!

─Is she for real? LOL!

There were no believers acknowledging my declaration of invalidity.

But even if they didn’t acknowledge it, I couldn’t recognize that I was an idiot.

“No, everyone… How on earth is this a common knowledge quiz…?”

Peter Pan… No. I can acknowledge that the Pythagorean theorem is common sense.

I mean, it’s really unfortunate that I got mixed up and messed up, but anyway, it was a problem that even a middle schooler should know.

【Q: Write the digits of pi from the 95th to the 100th places】

【Q: What is the name of the design technique that emphasizes visual effect by realistically representing the texture of the subject?】

【Q: What was Jean Calman’s age at his time of death?】

But how is this common knowledge?

The first two questions.

After King Sejong the Great and the Pythagorean theorem, all the problems that came up were just like these.

Even getting three correct, apart from King Sejong, was just a matter of guessing. It was pure coincidence.

But just because I couldn’t answer those questions, I’m called an idiot?

Isn’t that a bit much…?

In the first place, didn’t you all say it’s normal not to know those things?

─Fact) There were many suggestions to just switch to something else from the middle onward.

─Wasn’t it you who kept insisting on getting one more question right?

─How ugly, Rene.

─I’ll be the idiot…

“…”

But since all the words in the chat were true, my protests were ultimately not accepted.

I realized something was off about the questions from the middle, and even when it was suggested in the chat that it was okay to stop, I was the one who continued this until the end.

─Is it that if I use the nickname Rene, I become an idiot, or is it that the idiot uses the nickname Rene…?

─Rene, if someone asks you to vouch for them later, definitely refuse, LOL.

─Sigh, I guess I need to marry and take care of you…

─What crime did Rene commit for that sort of treatment?

─The gallery master went quiet, LOL!

─Even if the gallery master is a dimwit, they still have a treat, LOL.

─There aren’t many people in the broadcast.

─At this rate, I’ll end the stream, you bastards, LOL!

─Where’s this guy really going???

“Um, I’m still here…”

Not yet, to be precise, I’m not planning to end the broadcast today.

That’s something I decided right from the start.

“Um, um… Anyway, I’ll end this here… I intentionally got a lot wrong to make it fun for you… I’m glad you all seem to have enjoyed it…”

─On purpose?

─Oh no, trying to maintain your pride again, LOL!

─In the first place, these are not common knowledge, teacher.

─Stop trembling and just say it.

─??? : Actually, I don’t know (something I really said).

─Trying to win no matter what, damn it.

─It’d be fun if Rene got them all right this time, should I retry?

“…Let’s move on.”

[Title: Who recommended this game for me? LOL]

[Posted by: Great Demon Rene]

I remember that when I played that game, it was nothing but incredibly hard questions other than bonus problems.

[Likes: 3 / Dislikes: 1]

ㅇㅇ : For real, I was told there were no hard questions, but I tried it and damn, LOL!

└Great Demon Rene: The malice of humans…

Here, there’s no s ㅇㅅㅇ so it’s nice. : If the gallery master gets about 5 questions right, is that a lot?

└Great Demon Rene: Even if it’s not the gallery master, just getting 5 questions right is quite a success;

└Here, there’s no s ㅇㅅㅇ so it’s nice. : For real? Is that the level?

└Great Demon Rene: Do you know what it’s called when 3 helium atomic nuclei (alpha particles) collide to create a carbon nucleus?

└Here, there’s no s ㅇㅅㅇ so it’s nice. : How am I supposed to know that?

└Great Demon Rene: Problems like that come up a hell of a lot…

└Here, there’s no s ㅇㅅㅇ so it’s nice. : LOL!

ㅇㅇ : There aren’t really any hard questions << Is this perhaps by Harvard standards?

[Q: The word that refers to a sociological and psychological theory researching social behavior in the interaction of two parties implementing cost-benefit analysis to decide risks and benefits is?]

[Umm…]

[I mean, this game clearly has no difficult… Uh, questions…?]

[What? You don’t know this? It’s super easy…?]

[Um, um… Honestly, I knew it… I thought you all would feel embarrassed if you didn’t know…]

[Of course I know. This is a basic question, right?]

[There’s no way I wouldn’t know this….]

[The, the answer is, um… so…]

[…Honestly, I don’t know. What’s the answer…?]

You bad kids, LOL!

─What’s with the long broadcast today? ㄷㄷㄷ

─Great Demon Rene.

─I’m so happy, Rene…

─Please keep broadcasting like this from now on.

─‘VTuber Rene’ prepared like crazy for her second broadcast, huh? ㅇㅇ;

─Gasp.

The broadcast time has already surpassed 5 hours.

Thanks to this, the current time is 11:55 PM.

Normally it would be bedtime… or rather, it’s not time to be broadcasting either.

Thanks to that, if I were to lie down, I’d feel like I’d fall asleep right away.

But that doesn’t mean I can really close my eyes.

How could I throw everything away after coming this far?

“Are you all not tired…?”

No matter how much they are the audience, sitting still and watching the same broadcast for 6 hours can’t be easy.

Especially when there were games I could join in on during those 6 hours.

─At this point, I can still manage.

─Thinking back to when I did a no-holds-barred morning session with ‘Streamer Rene’ during Albion, this is still fine.

─Honestly, I’m sleepy, but I’m just pushing through.

─Compared to when I had to do the entire group project alone, this is heaven, LOL!

─On a day like today, is it even possible to be tired?

─Even if I’m tired, I have to endure, yeah.

Of course, the speed of the chat has slowed down significantly since I first started broadcasting, but even accounting for that, enough people were still watching my broadcast.

“So, someone asked why I’m doing such a long broadcast today, right…?”

The reason was simple.

From the vibe in the chat room, it seemed that the believers also knew the reason.

“I wanted to start the new year together with you all… Hehe…”

What was this?

Saying it made me feel embarrassingly shy.

─You tempted me first, right? You tempted me first, right? You tempted me first, right?

─Mom, this person is my bride…

─What a surprise that even when saying something nice, only beasts fill the chat room, LOL!

─Grrr…

─Honestly, even the judge would have been tempted, yeah?

─Great Demon Rene.

─I hope that even the diabolical dimwit girl streamer Rene could learn from this kind of behavior, hehe;

─Mentioning other streamers is not allowed, hehe;

─Other? Streamer?

While chatting this way, before I knew it, the time ticked to 11:59:50 PM.

The real end of this year was approaching fast.

Meeting Bora, suffering from the absurd defamation of “nuclear,” sticking the eyes of teddy bear plushies, starting streaming with Tuni’s help, discovering new raids, and doing PVP with pro gamers…

Of course, all of these happened in the latter half of the year, but still, so many things had happened in this one year.

And really, it was such an enjoyable year.

“Everyone, happy new year… And from now on, I ask for your continued support…!”

─Happy New Year!

─Is this a proposal? Is this a proposal? Is this a proposal? Is this a proposal?

─In the new year, please let me marry Rene…

─Please let Rene delete Jumping Up…

─I hope everyone had a happy new year.

─I expect daily new dimwit acts this year too.

─So when will ‘Streamer’ Rene come back? LOL!

─Gasp.

─I think I have a headache…

─For real, malicious one, LOL!

“…Mentioning other streamers is, um, prohibited.”

─I never thought I’d hear this kind of nonsense right at the start of the new year, LOL!

─You guys are saying the ‘VTuber’ Rene, who’s thinking of her fans at the beginning of the new year, is different from the malicious dimwit girl streamer Rene, who hasn’t said a word at this new year, right? ㅎ;

─For real, if you’re going to compare, it should be the right comparison.

─Does the one who only thinks of her viewers, the ‘VTuber’ Rene, look like garbage to you?

─For real, LOL!

“…I’ll end the broadcast now.”

─Gasp!

─LOL!

─Why is the sulking voice so cute, LOL!

─Seems like the genius female is showing her face right at the start of the new year…

“…Hmph.”

〔Broadcast has ended.〕
