Chapter 55 : The World Tree is… just… a big… tree…

[Lené]

[Hello]

[Talk | 453 viewers watching, 00:02:31]

453 viewers.

Just a month ago, this number was something I could never have imagined for my stream.

But the opportunity for an Albion raid came, and luckily, I was able to grab it.

I’m sure the viewers who’ve been with me since the beginning of the stream must be feeling emotional about this situation now, right?

-🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

─Lené, is this for real? I almost died from the cold.

ᅳI’m really curious about what goes through this crazy bastard’s mind.

…No, that doesn’t seem right.

The end-of-the-world atmosphere in the chat.

There wasn’t a single person defending me.

Instead, the familiar nicknames I knew were fueling the fire.

Could it be that they’re mad because I came back earlier than the one-month break I promised?

For a moment, I thought that might be it, but there were also messages asking why I’m just showing up now, so that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Maybe they’ve all had a tough day.

If I give them the gift I prepared, I bet they’ll be really happy, right?

“Hmm, hmm.”

It felt awkward to speak into the mic after such a long time. But pushing through the discomfort, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Hello, everyone….”

-Why are you only here now, Tenryan? Why are you only here now, Tenryan?

─I’ve been waiting here patiently…

-🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

―Info) This guy took a break, played NewD every day, and wrote in the gallery like a diary.

-What kind of gallery master is this?

-What a toxic troublemaker…

“Starting today, I’m the Inquisitor Selene, or you can call me Lené….”

And with those words, I broadcasted the prepared background and avatar on screen.

-???????????? -What is this?

─Wait, did this bastard debut as a VTuber?

―What is this even…

─If this is what you’ve been working on during the one-month break, I’m seriously done for, Lené.

-What the heck is a VTuber?

How did they know….

I was momentarily flustered, but I didn’t show it on the outside.

I just quietly continued saying what I needed to say.

“Well, it looks like there are more people watching than I expected for my first stream. Thank you….”

─First stream, lol.

─The illustration is so pretty, but it’s even more annoying now, ᄉᄇ ᄏᄏ

-What the hell is going on with this guy?

“So, now I guess I should introduce myself…? I’ve prepared well for this.”

I said that and then broadcasted the memo I had prepared earlier.

[Name – Selene (Please call me Lené)]

[Age – 17]

[Occupation – Inquisitor of the IA Order]

[Gender – Unknown]

ᅳᄉᄇ Not a PowerPoint, but a notepad, lol

─I’ve never seen a VTuber introduce themselves with a notepad before.

─I’ve never seen a VTuber at all, lol.

─So what the heck is this, you otaku idiots.

─Some otaku idiots are so excited because something they know came up.

“…Guys, don’t curse or fight among yourselves. I’ll block you immediately.”

─Sorry.

After calming down the harsh atmosphere, I continued with the explanation I had written in the notepad.

“My name is Selene. Please call me Lené. I’m 17 years old.”

─You got younger…

―I want my 20-year-old, fresh-out-of-college Lené back…

—If you’re 17, does that mean you’re a student?

“And my occupation is not a student, but an Inquisitor of the IA Order….”

-What is the IA Order?

─It’s funny how seriously you seem to have prepared for this, lol.

─Please stop with the VTuber stuff, teacher… -It’s fun to watch, but why are these idiots like this, lol.

─I’m sorry, Lené. I won’t curse, so please stop.

-Opinion) I actually think it’s pretty good… I’m not an otaku, lol.

-If I keep watching, I’m getting more annoyed. If you’re a Lebung, big thumbs up, lol.

There were a lot of angry comments here and there, but still, quite a few Lebungs were paying attention to my self-introduction.

“And as for my gender… it’s unknown.”

─Anyone can tell you’re a girl, you crazy bastard.

What’s a Mammon dispenser, teacher…?

At first, I had planned to say I was a guy, like I had told Tuni before.

But then I started wondering, is that really necessary?

After all, Lené in the past and VTuber Lené are completely different people.

I thought about just saying I’m a normal girl…

But then my plan might fall apart, so I decided to keep my official gender as unknown.

Besides, even if I claimed to be a girl right here, most of the viewers already think I’m a guy, so it wouldn’t matter anyway.

“Now, let me explain what the IA Order is…”

oo: Now that you mention it, that’s true.

【Title: Opinion) This is probably better.】

[Written by: 00]

Instead of just having a black screen with only chat visible, it’s better to have something, even if it’s a bit otaku-like.

Until now, there were many times I wondered if this was even a stream, lol.

ᄋᄋ: Even if it’s a bit otaku-like?

Loo: Even if it’s just otaku-like.

대황레네: It does seem better because there’s actually something, though.

There were many times I wondered if this was even a stream, lol.

Is it really right for this malicious, ignorant Lené to use a beautiful, innocent, and intelligent-sounding board like that…?

【Title: IA Order Summary】
[Written by: NoLenéNoLife]

There’s a male god named Tetra and a female god named IA, and the gallery members belong to the IA Order.

If the two orders fight, the IA Order, where the person belongs, will win.

The goddess governs something, but the person doesn’t know what or how far she can go.

She’s just an insanely powerful goddess, so they say she can do almost anything.

But it’s kind of annoying how people brag about that (they actually said this).

ᄋᄋ: I didn’t expect them to bring up all that talk about being a real priest, lol.

BigCoolLine: ???: IA really made me do a lot of hard things, that bad goddess.

└NoLenéNoLife◇: What the heck is this person doing…

[Ah, there are some things I remember from running around.]

[Hey everyone, have you ever seen an incredibly huge tree?]

[When you get close, you can’t even see the sky. When trees get that big, people start believing in them.]

[They say they protect us and such….]

[But in the end, it’s just a big tree, right?]

[But when you see it in person, I kind of understand why they think that way.]

[…Oh, right. Speaking of that big tree, it reminds me.]

[Beiga was trying to climb that tree, you know? That was so cute.]

[Who is Beiga?]

[Ah, it’s Beatrice, the fox I found. That’s the nickname.]

[It’s a silver-furred fox, super soft, and it smells really good, so when I hug it, I can’t help but laugh.]

[…Actually, never mind. I don’t like it.]
[I rescued it when I was alone, but it keeps following other priests every day.]

[It bothers me when I’m eating, and when I’m praying, it burrows into my clothes and bothers me….]

[Hmph….]

[…Well, whenever I go out for work, it follows me every time.]

[Even when I sleep, it always returns to my bed, so I don’t dislike it, I just don’t love it.]

[I wonder if it’s doing well….]

[Ah, right now, it’s in my hometown.]

[But now, I’ve lost contact with everyone from my hometown…]

[I hope it’s doing well.]

What kind of guy talks like this…

저새는해로운:ᄅᄋ just the female itself.

ᄋᄋ: Is there actual proof that it’s a guy?

Loo: I’m not gay, but hearing this chick talk is making me feel horny.

Loo: So this guy is a female.

└하얀눈보라: Gaygaygaygay…

암컷탐지기: But seriously…

Looking at the broadcast and the posts, it’s kind of funny.

└암컷탐지기: Does this really look like a guy? I can’t believe it.

Loo: The credibility from the nickname is insane.

여긴ᄋᄉᄋ없어서좋네: If you followed this logic, just saying it’s a girl probably would’ve increased the viewers.

└여긴ᄋᄉᄋ없어서좋네: Why would you say you’re a guy then?

└여긴ᄋᄉᄋ없어서좋네: The money it would make is on a whole different level.

└여긴ᄋᄉᄋ없어서좋네: Just admit you’re a guy, don’t deny reality…

The person who wrote this: No, you’re wrong, it’s a female.

[Hello]

[Talk | 592 viewers | 00:43:21]

Hmm.
I’ve pretty much said everything I prepared, so should I move on to the next thing?

“Today’s debut stream is ending here…. So, everyone, goodbye…”
-?
─Are you crazy?

-Oh, I’m really getting mad, Lené.

-This guy just likes making people angry, lol.

─Please at least play NewD before leaving…

─Really not an easy person… No matter what, he goes his own way… That’s what makes him even more annoying…

─And on top of that, the voice and the board being good just make it more frustrating.

“Uh… Hey, please stop swearing, anyway, I’ll go now….”

With those final words, I quietly ended the stream.

There was, of course, no sign of something like “Elf Grand Chief! Sign now!”

Lené’s board looks like this!

Even though it was just a board, when I received it, I wondered if it was okay for Lené to look so smart.

Think of it as a gift for the readers who were frustrated by the recent hiatus!

Also, in the announcement for the cover and illustrations, there’s also Lené’s board, where she’s smiling

a bit foolishly!

Anyway, Lené started streaming again.

I wonder what will happen in the future. Enjoy it!

I’ll see you again next time!
