“I had something really important to do recently… so I had to take an unexpected break, you know?”

At this point, isn’t he just enjoying it on purpose?

• Are you just now realizing that? ─ Since the time he started breaking people’s heads for ridiculous reasons…

“I’m glad that the matter got resolved yesterday, and I was able to come back sooner than expected…”

The important thing) Preparing for the VTuber debut

• I don’t understand the connection between preparing for a VTuber debut and why he had to take a break

─ Surprisingly, there’s only one person in this stream who understands that

─ Should I thank him for streaming, or should I curse him…?

“VTuber? What do you mean, I have no idea, really…”

─ Try hiding the trembling voice and say it, Tenryon

• Why does this guy make me so angry the more I watch his stream, yet I keep watching…?

─ There’s a new VTuber named Lene ^^ᅵ idiot ᄒᄒᄒᄒ

“…Ah. Lene? Actually, I watched that person’s stream before coming here… I was really surprised, because we have the same name… What a coincidence…”

• Oh? A coincidence ─ I’m also surprised every time you stream, Tenryon… ᅳWow, that must’ve been a big surprise

“He worked really hard to prepare. I think he’s someone who deserves to succeed. Doesn’t seem like a cult leader or anything…”

─ Fans of Lene are getting hyped up ᄏᄏᄏ

─ How can every single word from this guy make me so angry?

• Does this guy have a split personality? Lene’s fans try to provoke me, but that kind of challenge doesn’t work on me.

I’ve already decided to treat the VTuber Lene and the cult leader Lene as separate beings.

“Ah… right. During my break, some weird people started showing up in NewD…”

─ ???: Lene’s fans are weird

“…Hmph. Those people aren’t Lene’s fans…”

Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip

• Damn, b*tch <<< This is too much…

“Wait a second… there wasn’t a chat like ‘Damn, b*tch.'” ᅳOops ᄏᄏ

• Why are you peeping into people’s private matters like that? It’s really embarrassing…

• Ugh, trash

• Ugh, apologize

This is weird. I was the one who was harassed, so why does it feel like I’m the one at fault?

No matter if people think I’m a guy… Even if I really were a guy, isn’t this too much?

It’s not like I’m actually upset, but it’s just absurd…

“Anyway, after coming back this time, I thought about what to do, and I was wondering if I should check out the Lene gallery…”

Time for public execution to start ─ It’s over ᄏᄏ

Hold on, just wait for five minutes. Lene, sorry, I messed up. I’ll delete it right away.

PDF it and prepare materials for a lawsuit ᄃᄃᄃ

Why do people always twist things like this?

I just thought it would be fun, so I wanted to watch it together.

“Anyway, let’s start by reading one of the concept posts from the Lene gallery, guys….”

I said that and opened the concept post page on the broadcast screen.

“Pfft….”

When I saw the title of the first concept post, I couldn’t help but laugh.

ᅳOops ᄏᄏ

─ Starting off with a bang, huh? ᄏᄏ

“Heh, heh…. Is this person an idiot? You write posts, not delete them…. Heheh….”

─ Are you doing this on purpose, you idiot?

• Damn, fox-like woman

• Don’t fall for it, don’t fall for it, don’t fall for it, don’t fall for it, don’t fall for it

─ Mom, my horns have hardened…

─ Don’t laugh like that, damn, you’re making people misunderstand

Honestly, it’s possible.

Huh?

For some reason, the chat is getting noisy.

Was there a weird chat message?

“Well, it doesn’t really seem like there’s a problem, so I guess it’s fine.”

“I don’t know what this is about, but heh. Let’s look at this first….”

I said that and clicked on the post, and what greeted me was a long post with no spaces between words.

【Title: Sorry to the gallery members, but I’ll delete one post】

Hello Lene, I’ve liked you since your first stream.

I wanted to confess before you took a break, but I was too cowardly back then.

Now, in front of all these people, I want to tell you that I love only you.

I’ve been feeling this way since November, watching you every day on your streams, and in NewD and the gallery, it’s only you on my mind.

Just by you taking a break, I felt pain.

I was thinking about how to tell you my feelings, and finally, I gathered up all my courage to confess in front of all these people in the most amazing way.

I love you, Lene. Will you be my girl? Or will you be my sun? I will be your moon.

I’ll wait for you in the gallery after the broadcast.

Your loving Lene fan.

: Who’s gonna stream now?

Farutabee: Is this a template?

└Aractta: (It’s a pamphlet, idiot)

└Farutabee: (It’s a template, idiot)

ᄋᄋ: Damn, when did this old meme come up?
└Lene gallery user: You also know it…

Here’s a place without ᄋᄉᄋ and it’s nice: Does that mean the ones reacting to this above are all old-timers?

Hmm….

The lack of spacing hurts my eyes.

It’s hard to read.

But it’s not unreadable, so…

“Hmm…. There’s a little bit of a lie here. I didn’t have any viewers for my first stream….”

• Don’t seriously react to this, damn

• Isn’t this the gallery chat? Why are you responding to this?

─ Every time you post about being a cult leader or something, maybe you wouldn’t know any better.

―Why does it feel so sad that no one watched the first stream…

─It’s just an old meme, you idiots…

─It’s still used a lot, so what’s the problem?

“Well, if there’s any possibility, it’s from the second stream when Lene and Moriarty watched… but you guys aren’t them, right?”
• ᄋᄋ Nope

─Would they write something like that?

─Call my name too, call my name too, call my name too

─What’s this, why am I jealous, damn

─Founding heroes ᄃccccc

“…Anyway, thank you for liking me. I’ll keep working hard from now on.”

Most of the chat was asking why I was responding to this, but isn’t it because they’re writing this because they like me?

At least, that’s how I see it.

It’s not easy to invest time for someone you don’t even know.

“Then let’s move on to the next concept post.”

What should I do?

There are too many titles that I’m reluctant to click on.
─Sorry…

─Sorry, Lene fans

─Please don’t sue me, Lene…

─Sis, I’ll delete it right now, please forgive me, I don’t have money!

“Suing… I won’t do that. By the way, do you guys post things like this in fan cafes for other streamers too…?”

• LL

─Would they do that?

─You’ve shaped my preferences like this…

“Well, that’s a relief. Just so you know, you shouldn’t do that in other places. Got it?”

─Lene, eyes… Lene, eyes… Lene, eyes… Lene, eyes…

─You’re the one who keeps tempting me, you damn woman!!!

─Heh… I feel like my dirty heart is being purified…

[Long time no see]

[Talk | 592 viewers, 00:46:23]

─You’re so cruel, Lene…

They were just Lene fans who liked your stream…

─Isn’t public humiliation too much?

“No, you guys enjoyed watching too, so why…?”

Anyway, after quickly skimming through the latest concept posts, I spent some time chatting with the fans.

It felt strangely fascinating to watch the chat scroll down so quickly.

Is my stream really worth watching by 592 people?

I was grateful, yet curious.

“Then… today…”

• Don’t say it’s the end of the stream, I won’t stand for it.

• Don’t test me, Lene.

“Hmm…”

By saying that, is it normal to want to end the stream after saying it’s over? Or am I the bad one here?

But originally, I had no intention of saying that. Wasn’t it the viewers who provoked me with those comments?

To put it in difficult terms, can I say it’s self-defense?

─ You’re not going to leave, right? You’re not going to leave, right? You’re not going to leave, right?

─ My hands and feet are finally warming up, Lene… I’m still cold…

“No, everyone… I wasn’t planning to leave, so I’m a bit taken aback…”

─ You said it first, you damn idiot.

ᅳ I really want to give you a slap.

Seeing them trying to insult me like that hurts my heart.

I told the fans in the gallery that I’m okay with whatever they do, but is this really the right way

to show their affection for me?

Shouldn’t they also be okay with whatever I show them as long as it’s the right kind of stream?

“Anyway… from now on, I plan to play NewD…”

ᅳᄏᄏᄏᄏ Here comes my Yas.

What are the popular kids doing? They should go out and struggle while I’m here with Yas.

─ Do the Albion raid again, do the Albion raid again, do the Albion raid again.

─ Damn it, when are you going to show us the PVP S rank? I’m dying from waiting.

The chat exploded in an instant with those words.

I didn’t expect NewD to be such a popular game.

By the way, it seemed like each fan wanted something different.

To be more precise, it felt divided between PVP and Albion raids.

Originally, I was planning to do PVP rank matches and hit S rank today, but since it’s a recent content update, many fans seemed to want to see the Albion raid.

After all, our party is the only one who has cleared the Albion raid so far, so it makes sense.

“Hmm…”

Various thoughts raced through my mind.

Should I just do what I originally planned to do?

But ignoring what the fans want feels wrong…
PVP is also something the fans want. Most importantly, the proper start of my stream was PVP.

While I was stuck in that conflict,

‘Cha Ga Eun’ donated 500,000 KRW.

Hello, Lene.

I’m streamer Cha Ga Eun. I was wondering if we could chat for a bit?

An enormous donation came in.
