“This is way more impactful than I expected.”
I turned off the broadcast output, opened my terminal, and logged into the Hero Guild’s community.
Thankfully, the community was accessible without issues.
It seemed that getting my stream suspended didn’t extend to blocking my access to the community.
“Wow, it’s complete chaos.”
The Hero Guild community was in an uproar—so much so that it was hard to believe only ten minutes had passed.
Hundreds of posts had already been uploaded.
[Summary of Irene’s Broadcast Suspension]

(A post summarizing Irene’s broadcast content)
Here’s the part causing all the chaos:
Irene, a former high-ranking officer of the Demon King’s Army who appeared on the Elian broadcast, is incredibly popular.
She’s stunningly beautiful, embraces a pacifist ideology, and takes on all sorts of unique personas.
But suddenly, during a live broadcast, she exposed corruption within the Hero Guild.
Immediately afterward, her stream was suspended.
There’s no way this doesn’t reek of foul play.

Comments:
“This is too suspicious not to be true.”
“Stop spreading nonsense. It’s obviously fake news, and that’s why she was suspended.”
“If anyone spreading conspiracy theories got suspended, half this guild would be gone. Lol”
“No, it’s weird because they’ve never suspended anyone for baseless rumors before.”
“Exactly. That’s why this is fishy.”
The hottest topic in the community was Irene’s broadcast suspension.
Someone who claimed to be a villain had her stream cut off while exposing corruption in the Hero Guild.
This juicy controversy split the community into two camps.
The first believed the suspension was justified due to spreading false information.
It wasn’t a baseless claim—there was no proof that Irene’s statements were true.
Plus, Irene was a former officer of the Demon King’s Army.
From that perspective, it made sense to see her actions as slander and deserving of suspension.
But thankfully, that camp was in the minority.
Most people believed the Hero Guild had suspended her broadcast to suppress the exposure of their corruption.
Not because I’d made any particularly compelling arguments—it was just the way public opinion naturally leaned.
Moreover, even in my fan community, malicious trolls who wanted to see the Hero Guild burn had joined in, amplifying the chaos.
By the time thirty minutes had passed, the Hero Guild was already painted as a corrupt organization conspiring with the Demon King to destroy humanity.
Of course, not many took it that far, but it was a fun thought.
“I hope the Savior Saintess does something soon.”
If so, my job here was done.
As embarrassing as it was to say this myself, I’d done an excellent job.
It wasn’t just about attracting a large audience—literally every community was on fire.
Not only the broadcasters and the Hero Guild but even unrelated communities were in chaos.
It couldn’t have gone more perfectly.
Now, all I had to do was wait for the Savior Saintess to make her move.
Just as if she’d read my mind, a new post appeared on the Hero Guild community.
It wasn’t from just anyone, but from the official manager account of the Hero Guild.
[Official Statement from the Hero Guild]

Hello, this is the Hero Guild.

We promise swift and thorough action against Bertram and assure all affected that further updates, including disciplinary results, will be shared promptly.
Once again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Hero Guild Operations Team, Lucena.

It was an apology—one seemingly tailored from the start to throw Bertram under the bus.
Bertram froze as if he’d seen a ghost.
Sure, seeing the Saintess here wasn’t entirely unexpected. Bertram had always kept an eye on her movements.
But what startled him was her opening words:
“I’m not pleased to see you.”
Her tone was laced with unmistakable hostility.
It was the first time the Savior Saintess had expressed her emotions so openly, and even the battle-hardened Bertram couldn’t hide his confusion.
The situation unraveled further, with the Saintess presenting incriminating documents bearing the Hero Guild’s seal.
Documents detailing Bertram’s past corrupt actions—ones he thought had long been buried.
“Now, you see? You can’t do anything to me anymore. This isn’t a problem.”
Bertram’s mind raced, wondering how these documents had ended up in the Saintess’s hands.
And just when he thought he could negotiate his way out of it, the Saintess dealt her final blow.
“Already shared them with others. I’m here for one thing: to say goodbye.”
The arrival of the Emperor’s elite guard sealed Bertram’s fate.
The Emperor herself, manifesting through her guard, didn’t mince words.
“Bertram, your actions have destroyed the Guild’s credibility.”
“You will be judged, and your sacrifice will restore faith in the Guild.”
Bertram was left with nothing but despair as his final chapter closed.
I leaned back and logged into my account.
[Welcome, Irene1.]
[Ragare: Situation resolved?]
A message popped up from the Savior Saintess herself.
[Ragare: Just wanted to invite you to the resurrection of Elian tomorrow.]
“Resurrection? In the Holy See?”
As a former officer of the Demon King’s Army, this was certainly unexpected.
The Savior Saintess’s final words echoed in my mind.
An invitation to chaos.
To the Holy See.
