A Basement-Dwelling Loser, the Inquisitor – Chapter 80

[Rene]

[Hello]

[Talk | 1876 viewers | 00:21:39]

The remaining 50 believers.

Even though I had reduced the number, having 50 people was absolutely not small.

Since I had decided to choose managers, I was filled with the desire to pick the best candidates possible.

However, with this many people, it was absolutely impossible to get to know each one through direct conversation.

To be precise, it would just take too long.

So how could I further narrow down these 50?

The answer had been set from the moment I chose the 50.

“First… we’re going to select about 5 managers. No matter how you look at it, having conversations with all 50 of them isn’t easy…? I’ll get tired, and you viewers will too… it’ll take an incredibly long time…”

More than anything.

“It wouldn’t help me understand who these applicants are just by talking for a few minutes…”

─ What a fancy way to put it.

─ Why do you look so mature?

─ Really cool.

─ If only they weren’t a complete blockhead…

─ Are you watching the interviewers?

“So, I’m going to thoroughly select the managers based on their skills…”

─ ?

─ Are you planning to give a manager role to all 50?;

─ Do managers have any skills to begin with?

─ Can’t you just pick randomly like choosing unpaid slaves?

─ What’s an unpaid slave?

─ Oh my God.

─ Rekkyaaaaaah!

“What’s an unpaid slave…?”

Naturally, selecting managers is directly tied to the future of my broadcast, so I wouldn’t just pick randomly like when selecting Paddaks from Remagal.

Back then, nobody was really watching my broadcast, nor using Remagal, making it easy to choose carelessly.

That meant those who were watching truly liked my broadcast.

But now, the scale is entirely different.

Of course, I want to believe everyone is a good person, but I have no way of knowing who might be mixed in.

So, I plan to first pick people whose nicknames I’m somewhat familiar with, check the chats they’ve sent, and create a minimal line of defense.

After confirming their abilities, I’ll properly talk with them.

“Now, I’ve sent out the link… please join this Miscode server I created…”

As soon as I said that, the 50 believers gathered in an instant.

─ So what does assessing skills even mean?

─ Are they going to make us disarm tactical bombs or something? Haha!

─ How can such a horrible thought…

What will I make them do in the future?

Those who didn’t apply to be managers or were eliminated sent these questions.

It would be much easier and faster to show than to explain all in detail.

“From now on, you’ll be doing this….”

I said that and launched a site.

【Reaction Speed Test】

─ ?

─ What the hell is this?

The manager’s job is to keep the chat window of the broadcast clean.

They must ensure any unpleasant or offensive chats can’t be seen, maintaining the atmosphere of the broadcast.

In other words, it means checking the chat window faster than anyone else and deleting chats that cross the line.

So who would be able to do that well?

Naturally, someone with fast reaction speed.

Hence, this test is probably the best way to gauge a manager’s skills, right?

“Well, this is my first time trying this…”

After reading the instructions, I found that the way to do the reaction speed test was simple.

1. Click on the gray circle in the center of the site to start the test.

2. The gray circle turns red.

3. The red circle will turn green within 10 seconds.

4. Click as quickly as possible when the circle turns green.

5. Repeat steps 3 to 5 a total of five times, and the average time taken to click the green circle is your reaction speed.

Click.

Click.

Click.

Click.

Click.

As I clicked away in silence, only the sound of the mouse echoed softly.

And the results were.

【My average reaction speed test result:】

【107ms】

【★★★★★★★★】

“I think this is good enough…”

Looking at the number of stars, it seemed like a good result, but who knew.

Fewer stars might mean better results, after all.

─ Damn! Haha!

─ Could it be a beast???

─ What is this…?

─ If you want to broadcast without a manager, just say so, Tenryun! Haha!

─ Not an Inquisition Officer, just a beast…

─ I had my suspicions since they called me a female.

“Eh.”

[Rene]

[Hello]

[Talk | 1951 viewers | 00:49:51]

According to what I heard, my test result was higher than what a human could achieve.

I didn’t expect chats to come up criticizing what one should expect from a simple chat managing manager.

I thought that would be a bit exaggerated at most.

Some even said the numbers could vary by site and shouldn’t be taken absolutely seriously.

“Anyway, I’ll keep the top 10 fastest… I’ll give you each a total of 2 chances… For each person I call, just turn on the screen sharing function, so let’s start with Rowmas…”

─ This is the first time I’ve seen managers ranked like this.

─ It’s okay; we’re all seeing this for the first time.

─ Sounds like something a beast would do! Haha!

─ They need to delete chats quickly, so they need fast reaction times <<< Sounds absurd yet somewhat convincing.



─ Rene’s a genius ahead of her time…



Thus began the manager aptitude test.



【My average reaction speed test result:】

【233ms】

【★★★】

【My average reaction speed test result:】

【212ms】

【★★★★★】

【My average reaction speed test result:】

【251ms】

【★★】

【My average reaction speed test result:】

【219ms】

【★★★★】

【My average reaction speed test result:】

【238ms】

【★★★】

─ Is there no one who can surpass that beast?

─ How can a person surpass a beast? Damn! Haha!

─ Great Demon Rene.

My record of 107ms wasn’t even close, and there wasn’t even anyone entering the top 100.

Thanks to that, the chat was—how should I put it—celebrating something.

They were teasing, mocking me, calling me a beast and so forth…

What’s this?

I was trying to pick a manager to manage the chat, and instead, it seemed to be going more chaotic.

What on earth did I do wrong?

【My average reaction speed test result:】

【201ms】

【★★★★★】

─ Damn! Haha!

─ You couldn’t break the wall of 100 after all.

─ Conclusion: The host is a beast.

─ Usually quiet but occasionally a beastly girl…

─ Oh my God.

─ Oh my.

─ That guy is about to commit suicide.

Anyway, the reaction speed test for the 50 had ended, and the chat was still calling me a beast.

… No matter how I think about it, this is defaming.

Everyone must have given low scores on purpose to mock me.

But I wouldn’t be swayed by such defamation and unwarranted criticisms.

“Then, for those who are in the top 10, please stay for 10 minutes, and I’ll expel the rest…”

Just as I was about to expel the remaining believers besides the 10.

[Kamu: Fcking blockhead fmale, I love you!! Keep broadcasting hard!!!]

“… Uh.”

Chat messages started pouring into the Miscode server.

[A-B-AA: I will love even a beastly gallery master…!]

“Eh?”

As I attempted to take action against those who sent such messages, they had already left the server.

─ Hahaha!

─ The escape speed is really fast! Haha!

─ These bastards really have no fear! Haha!

─ What’s a gallery master?

─ Ugh, my head.

After all, I could take action on them from within Miscode.

So why on earth would they do something like this?

For a moment, such thoughts crossed my mind, but that wasn’t the issue.

Cursing or crossing a line—if it were that, it would have been easier to respond to or take action against.

My chat had mostly been like that till now.

[HamburgerWanting: I’m really enjoying the broadcast, so I hope you do well in the future!]

[Drun: Make sure to keep doing the broadcast, haha!]

[GreatDemonRene: Love you, big sister!]

But the atmosphere was entirely different from the usual chat.

Talking about how they enjoy my broadcast and directly saying they liked me, such messages.

Totally different from the teasing and ridicule I had endured…

“Haa…”

For some reason, my face grew hot as I read those messages. I felt embarrassed.

─ ?

─ What was that just now? What was that? What was that? What was that? What was that? What was that?

─ Wow, holy sh*t! Haha!

─ Insane beastly girl… insane beastly girl… insane beastly girl… insane beastly girl… insane beastly girl…

─ I’m going to go out, Rene, wait for me! (This is definitely strange! Haha!)

─ I’m genuinely starting to understand the recent streaming trends…

─ Let’s get married, let’s get married, let’s get married, let’s get married, let’s get married!

─ This is truly your own seduction, you insane girl.

In all my life, I had never received such direct words of affection from anyone.

In my previous life, my parents used me as a tool.

The people I got to know while working in my previous life had never contacted me privately.

In that world, being alone was the norm.

Now, I at least had Bora, but the affection Bora showed was completely different from what they were now sending me.

Recognizing that fact sent a ticklish sensation through my body; it felt nice, yet it was embarrassing at the same time.

I didn’t know what to say.

“Thank you… everyone…”

In the end, all I could say was something like that.
