Chapter Title: Get Out, All of You—It's Time for the True Heroes
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Before starting my stream, I killed some time watching Ayase's broadcast, just like always.
No, calling it "killing time" is blatantly wrong.
It's not killing time.
The accurate way to put it is that I'm using my time in the most productive way possible.
The happiest moment of my day is right now, watching Ayase's stream—there's no way I'd waste it with such a crass expression.
Ayase was running a content segment.
It was a viewer participation thing called "Brag About Your Good Deeds."
As the name suggests, it was just a chill segment where viewers bragged to Ayase about their good deeds...
Hmm.
It felt like the kind of harmless content only someone as harmless as Ayase could pull off.
If I'd tried running something like that, it probably would've turned into pure hell.
That would've been the day the true faces of the average zealots were exposed to the world.
The "Brag About Your Good Deeds" content might seem boring and unfun at first glance.
But who is Ayase?
Ayase didn't snag the title of "strongest indie VTuber" just by luck.
Her unique stream-hosting skills shine brightest not in flashy, hellish shows,
but in these mellow, laid-back ones.
If I'm the type who does stunt shows with my body, Ayase's the type who does them with her mouth, I guess.
Ayase is a VTuber who could ramble for a full two hours on the tiniest topic.
The Adungies' good deed brags were all over the place.
From proof of donating a whopping ten million won to a needy neighbor,
to volunteer work screenshots.
Sure enough, including me, there are no bad Adungies in the world.
The Adungies are hands-down the best fandom in streaming history.
📰 Viewer Post Title: Got a Loderna troll bastard reported and banned [Screenshot] LMAO This troll bastard intentionally fed right from the start of the game and didn't get a single kill by the end. Result: 0 kills, 16 deaths... total ruin... Got so pissed after losing promo that I rallied all my friends and reported him. Report result. [Screenshot] KYAAAAAAA Got him a 30-day ban. Served justice and feel so refreshed now—counts as a good deed, right? Praise me, Ayase sis! 💬 Chat — Viewer 0 kill 16 deaths lolololol — Viewer Was just reading that wholesome 10 mil donation post, then this shitpost hits and suddenly the content's gold — Viewer Still counts as a good deed lol — Viewer Cut down a bug/pest, so good deed fr ⭐ Top Comment — Viewer You're the only one... — Viewer KYAAAAAAA — Viewer Loderna would die without you!!!! — Viewer Justice served "[How is this a good deed? It's just personal revenge. Though... I probably would've reported him too.]" Well.
Not every post in a good deeds brag segment was heartwarming.
Sometimes these back-and-forth goldmines popped up, adding some nice little fun to the content.
Still.
Seeing that intentional troll with 0 kills and 16 deaths made me feel kinda guilty for some reason.
It's not like I'm the thief getting twitchy at the mention of feet.
"[But 0/16 is pretty bad. That's a kill-death ratio you can't get without intentional trolling.]" [HwanAdungi donated 10,000 won.] Fact: There's a streamer who went 0/21... "[Huh? A streamer who turns on their stream and intentionally trolls? Uh... l-let's move past that.]" She must've sensed the impending doom, because Ayase started stumbling over her words.
Ayase seemed to have mistaken that identity-unknown streamer who tanked 0/21 for some toxic broadcaster sucking up donations with intentional trolling.
However.
I know.
The Adungies know.
Even Ayase knows.
Who that toxic broadcaster really is.
— Viewer Mmmph! — Viewer DON'T SAY THE NAME!!!! — Viewer Official: 0/21 is impossible without intentional trolling. — Viewer Myria... st... — Viewer Zealot mentions banned. Zealot mentions banned. Zealot mentions banned. — Viewer You guys are gonna pay for the blasphemy lol — Viewer Mmmph (divine power pouch) — Viewer Can't say "mysterious pink chunk boob zealot who can't even lose on purpose in games," right? — Viewer Just say it outright then lololol "[...Oh. Right.]" "..."
— Viewer She got it lolololol — Viewer Oh yeah, Ayase watched Lee Jia's stream back then too — Viewer Yeah, it was right before her disastrous placement match that we scouted her for the hell show — Viewer A VTuber who intentionally trolls to 0/21? — Viewer The crazy part is she actually got labeled a real intentional troll... — Viewer Gasp — Viewer What — Viewer UFC STOP! "[J-Jia would do great if she practiced properly! It was her first time in Loderna. Beginners naturally... uh... b-but 0/21 is kinda extreme, still... anyway...]" [YY donated 3,000 won.] Move oooooooooon "[Yep, moving on. N-next post! Let's read the next one!']" — Viewer lololololololol — Viewer Stance switch? A-tube. — Viewer Hell sense? A-tube. — Viewer Zealot dodge? A-tube. Ayase, the master of verbal stunt shows through that back-and-forth,
just glossed right over my disastrous record.
This one...
might actually be a little sad.
...
...
...
I did get pretty flustered when my story came up midway,
but overall, watching the Adungies brag about their good deeds warmed my heart somehow.
As one of the Adungies dying for Ayase's attention, I wanted to join in with a post on her fan cafe,
but I didn't have any good deeds worth bragging about.
...I did have evil deeds.
No joke—if it was an evil deeds brag, I could've taken first place easy.
📰 Example Evil Deed [Drilled a hole in the floor and sprayed ray wing stink through it to torment the day-laborer uncle downstairs.] Who could top this evil deed?
I called it an evil deed as a joke, but spelling it out like this...
even Satan would shake his head at the sheer atrocity.
"Haa..."
I let out a self-deprecating sigh.
Let's review the damages I've caused my neighbors over the last two months.
'Black smoke' investigation led to Awakener Association dispatching personnel, resulting in neighbor complaints.
Noise pollution.
House damage.
Ray wing smell attack.
And so on.
Looking at each one, I'd never intentionally acted to harm my neighbors even once.
Did I summon the black smoke? No, Reflecting Myriad Stars did.
Noise and house damage? Strictly speaking... Reflecting Myriad Stars smote me for the tiniest blasphemy, that's on Them, not me.
Ray wing smell attack?
...Correction. That's on me. If I hadn't arrogantly declared myself the ray wing king, I wouldn't have had to eat it.
Anyway, all my evil deeds
are just a chain of incidents unavoidable from streaming at home as a "Fervent Devotee of Reflecting Myriad Stars."
I can't just not stream, and I have to stream daily, but renting a studio every day isn't feasible.
But.
The world judges by results, not process.
My excuses mean jack to the neighbors.
In conclusion, I've sinned by bothering my neighbors.
And when you've sinned, as a proper devotee,
isn't confessing to the divine the natural course?
Perfect timing—I have sins to confess to the divine myself, so I'll hear the devotees' confessions too.
Today's content is set.
Not good deeds brag, but evil deeds brag.
The return of confession time.
Time for the 'true' heroes and legends.
If you don't wanna get hurt, all you randos—get out.

Before starting the stream, I checked my avatar feed in the Omnia Archive program.
Suddenly,
it hit me that my VTuber avatar's outfit was way too plain.
The pink chunk and massive fat presence overpower it,
but purely on the outfit? It's too vanilla for a VTuber.
White blouse, blue tennis skirt, blue ribbon.
That's it.
Aside from the buttons about to burst off, nothing eye-catching.
Up till now, the Omnia Archive program's motion-capture-smacking tech covered for the plainness,
but it's time to bring in a divine outfit.
Truth is, getting a new divine outfit isn't easy—even big corp VTubers might swap once every six months max.
So viewers don't expect it much from VTubers.
But.
My situation's a bit different from other VTubers.
Hard to get a divine outfit?
As if.
Who is Reflecting Myriad Stars?
One click-prayer and They normalize everything right away.
Like during the last hell show—one click-prayer and frame fix incoming.
With that in mind,
I clasped my hands and prayed.
Please give me a divine outfit.
Honestly, this current one's stinking up the place—You admit it too, right?
I'm gonna run confession content a lot from now on, so hook me up with a divine outfit that fits.
And so, with eager anticipation of a slick new divine outfit popping up in the Omnia Archive program,
I gently opened my tightly shut eyes.
And immediately.
Thud!
"Nngheek...!"
I got hit with a surprise blasphemy smite.
Why.
What for.
Crunch.
The slightly splintered desk suggested They were angrier than usual this time.
No, but this blasphemy smite makes zero sense.
What did I blaspheme?
I only sang praises till my mouth wore out... felt kinda wronged.
My tone's a bit cheeky, sure, but it's always been like that.
Even with smites, at least tell me the reason—doesn't hurt, does it?
...Wait, no way.
Did calling the current outfit "stinking" get me smitten?
But is that blasphemy?
That's not blasphemy—that's indisputable fact.
In a VTuber world full of angels, demons, animals, succubi, every race—in that, this plain outfit is straight-up shitty, fact...
Thud!
"Kuek."
Blasphemy smite is, as the name says, divine punishment for 'divine blasphemy.'
I instantly realized why dissing the outfit counted as divine blasphemy.
This current outfit is the Archivist's librarian uniform from the Omnia Archive.
That's my guess, but it's gotta be right.
Anything else wouldn't make sense.
I didn't know.
If I had, I wouldn't have trashed it.
Kinda unfair, but what can you do.
There's a saying in fighting games:
Learn while getting hit.
Now I know for sure—this outfit's the Archivist's librarian garb.
So, where's my new divine outfit...
Ah.
Hmm.
You already gave it to me.
