Chapter 72 : Get out of the way, it’s time for the heroes.

Before I started my stream, I passed the time like usual by watching Ayase’s broadcast.

No—saying I was “killing time” feels totally wrong.

It’s not that I was killing time.

To be precise, I was using my time in the most worthwhile way possible.

This moment—watching Ayase’s stream—is the happiest part of my day, so I can’t go around throwing out low-quality expressions like “wasting time.”

Ayase was running a segment.

It was a viewer participation segment called “Brag About Your Good Deeds.”

As you can probably guess from the name, it was a chill segment where viewers would just brag to Ayase about the good things they’d done.

Mmm.

It’s the kind of wholesome content that only someone as harmless as Ayase could pull off.

If I tried doing something like this, it’d probably turn into a full-blown hellscape.

That would be the day the world sees the true face of your average fanatic.

At a glance, the “Brag About Your Good Deeds” segment might seem boring or lame.

But who is Ayase?

She didn’t get the title of “Top Solo VTuber” by luck.

Her unique hosting skills shine brightest not in wild, stimulating content like “rock bottom shows”…but in these calm and peaceful segments.

If I do a strength performance with my body, Ayase does a strength performance with her mouth, so to speak.

She’s the kind of VTuber who can talk for two full hours about the smallest topic.

The good deeds of the Adungies (Ayase’s fans) were quite varied.

From proof of donations—some gave as much as ten million won to those in need—to volunteering documentation.

It’s clear.

Including myself, there’s no such thing as a bad Adungie in this world.

Adungies are, without a doubt, the best fandom in the history of streaming.

Title: Reported a trolling LoL player and got them suspended.

Long story short:This troll bastard started intentionally dying the moment the game began and didn’t get a single kill until the end.

Final score: 0 kills, 16 deaths… complete disaster.

I got so mad from losing my promotion match, I called in every acquaintance I had and we all mass reported him.

The result:[Image]

Kyaaaaaaaaaaa 30-days suspension !

I served some righteous justice, so this counts as a good deed, right?

Praise me, Ayase noona!

•LOL 0 kills 16 deaths.

•Man, I was just reading that heartwarming post about a ten-million-won donation, and now this crap… suddenly the whole segment feels trashy.

•Still counts as a good deed, yeah.

•You cut out a toxic bug, definitely a good deed.

•You’re the only one.

•Kyaaaaaaaa.

•Without you, Rodernah is doomed!!!

•Jus-tice served.

[How is that a good deed though? That’s just personal revenge. Not that I wouldn’t have reported them too, to be honest…]

Well.

Just because it’s a “Brag About Your Good Deeds” segment doesn’t mean only wholesome stories get posted.

Every now and then, posts like this one—perfect for some playful banter—popped up, and that gave the segment a little extra charm.

By the way.

Seeing that intentional troll with a 0-kill, 16-death score made me feel guilty somehow.

Like, why do I feel like I’m being called out?

It’s not like I did anything.

[But seriously, 0 kills and 16 deaths? That’s just too much. No way you get those numbers unless you’re trolling on purpose.]

[Common Adungie has donated 10,000 won.]

Fact: There’s a streamer who once went 0 kills and 21 deaths.

[Wait, what? There’s a streamer who intentionally trolled on stream? Uh… I-I’ll let that one slide…]

•Sensing danger, Ayase stammered a bit.

•She probably misunderstood that “0 kills, 21 deaths” streamer as some toxic content creator who trolls for donation money.

•But the truth is—I know.

•The Adungies know.

•Even Ayase knows.

•We all already know the identity of that so-called “toxic streamer.”

•Mmph mmph.

•Don’t you dare say that name!!!

•Officially: 0 kills 21 deaths is only possible if you’re intentionally trolling.

•‘Mu……men…’

•Mentioning the fanatic gets you banned.

•Mentioning the fanatic gets you banned.

•Mentioning the fanatic gets you banned.

•Keep it up and you’ll face divine punishment, just saying.

•Mmph mmph (Holy Power Pouch).

•“The mysterious pink bobcut big-boobed fanatic who absolutely sucks at the game”… I shouldn’t say that, right?

•You might as well just name-drop at this point, lol.

•[…Oh. Right.]

“…”

•They realized it lol.

•Oh right, Ayase also watched Jiah’s stream that day.

•Yeah, and it was right before that Placement Test of Doom episode on the Narak Show.

•A VTuber who goes 0/21 in a game on purpose?

•What’s wild is, they actually got exposed as a troll.

•Gasp.

•What the.

•UFC, stop fighting!

[U-Uh, I’m sure Jiah will do better with some proper training! It was her first time playing Rodernah, right? When you’re new to a game, of course it’s gonna be tough… I mean, 0 kills and 21 deaths is a bit much, but still…]

[ㅇㅇ has donated 3,000 won.]

•Let’s just move .

•aaaaaooooooonnnnnnnnnn.

[Okay! We’ll move on. L-let’s read the next post!]

•LOL.

•That pivot? That’s AyTube.

•Danger detection? That’s AyTube.

•Dodging fanatics? That’s AyTube.

Even Ayase, the master of that verbal acrobatics-based strength performance,just quietly moved past the topic of my disastrous match history.

Which, well…might be a little…sad.

…

…

…

I did get a bit flustered when I came up in the middle there, but still—watching all the Adungies brag about their good deeds kind of warmed my heart.

As one of the many Adungies who crave Ayase’s attention,I wanted to post something on her fan cafe to join the segment too,but… I didn’t really have anything good to brag about.

What I did have were bad deeds.

No joke—if it had been a “Brag About Your Evil Deeds” segment, I’d easily have taken first place.

[I drilled a hole in the floor, and through that hole, I sprayed fermented skate odor to torment the construction worker living downstairs.]

I mean… who could possibly top that?

I was joking when I called it a bad deed,but now that I’ve actually put it into words.

It’s the kind of unspeakable evil that even Satan himself would shake his head at.

“Haa…”

I sighed in self-mockery.

Let me think back over the past two months—how many ways have I harmed my neighbors?

Due to the “black smoke” investigation, the Awakened Association dispatched personnel, which ended up disturbing the neighbors.

Noise pollution.

Property damage.

Fermented skate stink attack.

Et cetera, et cetera.

If you look at each one individually, there wasn’t a single time I intentionally tried to cause harm to my neighbors.

Was it me who summoned the black smoke?

No—it was Beachy Mutbyeol.

Noise pollution and property damage?

If you break it down,those only happened because Beachy Mutbyeol, over a very trivial reason, decided to bestow me with divine punishment.

Not my fault.

The fermented skate stink attack?

Okay, correction.

That was my fault.

If I hadn’t arrogantly declared a “Payton King of the Stream” challenge,I never would’ve had to eat that thing in the first place.

Anyway, all those bad deeds I committed,they were nothing more than an unfortunate series of events that occurred because a fanatical follower of Beachy Mutbyeol was streaming from home.

It’s not like I can not stream at all,but also, I can’t exactly afford to rent a studio every single day, right?

But still.

The world doesn’t care about the process—it only cares about results.

Why should my neighbors give a damn about my circumstances?

In the end, I committed the sin of disturbing them.

And since I’m now a proper believer,isn’t it only right that I confess my sins to the god I follow?

Conveniently, I had something to confess anyway—so I figured I might as well listen to the confessions of other believers, too.

Just like that, today’s content was decided:not a “Good Deeds Brag” stream, but an Evil Deeds Brag stream.

It’s time again for Confession Hour.

It’s time for the real heroes and legends.

So if you’re not ready to get hurt,casuals better get lost.

…

…

…

Before starting the stream,I checked how my VTuber avatar looked as it appeared on the Omnia Archive program.

Suddenly, I thought—my VTuber avatar’s outfit was… kinda bland.

Sure, the ridiculous pink bowl-cut and those massive fat lumps made a strong impression,but if you looked just at the outfit—it was way too plain for a VTuber.

White blouse, blue tennis skirt, blue ribbon.

That’s it.

Aside from the buttons straining like they might burst at any second,there was nothing particularly memorable about it.

Up to this point, the stunning tech of the Omnia Archive program—good enough to slap motion capture tech in the face—had covered for the boring outfit.

But now, I figured it was time for a new outfit.

Of course, getting a new outfit isn’t easy.

Even for VTubers backed by major corpo channels,at best, they get one every six months or so.

So the viewers don’t expect new outfits all that often.

But me?

My situation’s a bit different.

Would getting a new outfit really be that hard for me?

No way.

Not with Beachy Mutbyeol on my side.

She’s the kind of god who answers your prayers with just a single click.

Remember last time, during the “Fall Show”?

One click and boom—frame rate fixed.

So with that in mind,I put my hands together and offered a prayer.

“Please give me a new outfit.

Let’s be honest—you agree this one reeks of low-budget energy, right?

Since I’ll probably be doing more of these confession sessions in the future,please, give me an outfit that actually fits the mood.”

Full of hope that a glorious new outfit would pop into the Omnia Archive program like bam,I slowly opened the eyes I had tightly shut.

•And then.

•Thud!

•“Nghaaack…!”

•I was smacked with a surprise Divine Punishment of Blasphemy.

•Why.

•Why the hell.

•Crack.

Judging by the desk being slightly broken, it looked like she was angrier than usual this time.

No, but seriously—this punishment for blasphemy made no sense.

What exactly did I blaspheme?

All I’ve done is praise her until my mouth dried up… I couldn’t help but feel a little wronged.

Okay, sure, maybe my tone was a little rude—but it’s always been that way.

Even if I get punished, couldn’t she at least give me a reason?

Would that be so hard?

Wait.

Could it be…Was the punishment because I said the old outfit “reeked of low-budget energy”?

But is that really blasphemy?

That wasn’t blasphemy—that was just a fact no one can deny.

In a world full of VTubers with angel, demon, animal, and succubus avatars,an outfit this bland doesn’t just come off as boring—it’s straight-up trash tier.

•Thud!

•“GUEEEK.”

The “Divine Punishment of Blasphemy” is, as the name implies, a form of divine wrath reserved for actual sacrilege.

And I realized immediately why criticizing the outfit counted as such.

It’s because the current outfit is the official librarian uniform of the Omnia Archive.

•Probably.

•Just a hunch—but a very strong one.

•Nothing else made sense.

•I didn’t know.

•If I had known, I wouldn’t have insulted it.

•I still feel kind of wronged, but hey—what can you do?

•There’s a saying in fighting games:You learn by getting hit.

•Well, now I definitely know.

The current outfit is the official librarian uniform of the Omnia Archive.

So… where’s my new outfit.

Oh.

Uh.

I already got it.
