Chapter Title: Something Other Than Confession
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The final verdict for that insolent Minas Land user was execution.
Daring to slyly hint at having a girlfriend during this sacred and holy broadcast.
The weight of that sin is not as light as you might think.
"You're banned until you post a clarification and apology on the cafe. Since it's come to this, I'm kinda curious about your girlfriend's reaction now."
Of course, this was all scripted content too.
The sinner gets temporarily banned first.
Then they post a clarification or a follow-up on carrying out my verdict in the cafe.
It was an idea I just came up with.
💬 Chat — Viewer1 I was pissed at first, but the story itself is kinda interesting. — Viewer2 I'm secretly curious too lololol how it'll play out — Viewer3 Still, he seemed better than the other crazies lol; — Viewer4 But isn't this that thing where he posts a sweet pic with his side chick girlfriend to explain? LMAO — Viewer5 I wouldn't be able to hold back if that happens... — Viewer6 This way only the ones okay with a temp ban will stick around — Viewer7 No way, how many people use the same ID for cafe and stream lolol — Viewer8 Trolls are surprisingly strict about that stuff... — Viewer9 Instead, only the serious storytellers will reveal their stream IDs lol — Viewer10 If they're confident, they'll share it Definitely.
As the viewers said, people joining VoiceTalk would probably hide their stream IDs from me from the start anyway.
I should've taken donations. The casual trolls would've bailed if money was involved.
I worried about the money-grubber image for nothing, and now the trolls are ruining the content.
Declaring donations mid-stream feels off too.
For now, I continued the confessionals.
— BreakingNews [Breaking news, breaking news, fucking breaking news... I've committed a sin...!] "Speak, faithful one."
— Faithful1 [I'm probably #1 on Lee Jia stream recaps. From debut to now, I haven't missed a full stream a single day. Even during 24-hour streams, I left it on while sleeping.] "Uh... that's not a sin; it's something I should be grateful for. Thanks for enjoying the streams. But this is confessional content, not brag time."
— Faithful1 [Yes, so I'm here for confession.] "What sin did you commit?"
— Faithful1 [Free-loader eyes.] "..."
💬 Chat — Viewer1 #1 recap but never donated once? — Viewer2 That's impressive in its own way lololol — Viewer3 Why is free-loading a sin lololol — Viewer4 Am I a sinner too? — Viewer5 90%+ of chat are sinners ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ — Viewer6 This ain't a sin lololol — Viewer7 Free-loader is a sin tho obviously — Viewer8 Says the free-loaders Free-loader eyes.
A derogatory term for viewers without a 'heart' emoticon by their ID.
In other words, people who've never donated once and just watch for free.
This was a sensitive topic for streamers, especially VTubers.
So I opened my mouth carefully.
"Free-loading isn't a sin. I never told you to pay to watch anyway."
— Faithful1 [That's true, but I'm #1 on your stream recaps.] "...Yeah, okay. Honestly, that's kinda rude. No, I just don't get it. If it were me, I'd have donated at least once. Are you a student? If so, I get it."
— Faithful1 [College student. I work part-time steadily, so it's not like I have no money.] "Uh... then why not donate? Just genuinely curious, no offense. After watching that long, isn't a thousand won and a heart worth it...?"
— Faithful1 [Too far gone to add a heart now. Pride kicked in. Free-loader #1 recap, and I'll keep it that way.] "..."
— Faithful1 [Not a sin, so this is fine, right, High Priestess?] 💬 Chat — Viewer1 Ao lololololol — Viewer2 Turns out he's just another psycho lololol — Viewer3 Why are all the viewers in this stream like this? — Viewer4 That's the divine punishment. — Viewer5 That's the teaching of Reflecting Myriad Stars' eyes. — Viewer6 Viewers take after the streamer's personality lol. Psycho.
Can't say he did anything wrong, but... something.
He just seems so damn smug.
I wanna pin some sin on him and hand down the death penalty, but no good excuse...
Ah.
Right.
"Hey, drop your stream ID. If not, you're a heretic."
Label him a heretic.
💬 Chat — Viewer1 Sudden casual speech lolololol — Viewer2 Sensing the bad vibes lololol — Viewer3 Why the sudden ID demand lolol — Viewer4 Gonna tell? lolol It was forced even by my standards, but whatever.
What're you gonna do about it.
I'm the High Priestess.
— Faithful1 [Same as my VoiceTalk ID.] "...For real?"
— Faithful1 [Yes.] 💬 Chat — Viewer1 ? — Viewer2 He's actually sharing it? — Viewer3 Back to polite speech His VoiceTalk ID was...
[Zealous Berserker 5665].
The default random nickname given when first creating an account on the platform.
Stubborn in every sense of the word.
"Mind if I autopsy it? Honestly, this might be too much, so feel free to refuse..."
— Faithful1 [Sure.] "...For real?"
— Faithful1 [No big deal.] He hasn't wronged me, but why does this confidence piss me off so much?
Just you wait.
I'll autopsy the chat and make him a heretic somehow.
I found 'Zealous Berserker 5665' in the viewer list.
And autopsied him.
His viewing time: 342 hours.
For reference, my total stream time was 343 hours.
Checks out as #1 recap.
What did he chat?
I checked his chat history.
Zealous Berserker 5665's Chat History. 💬 Chat — Viewer1 ? — Viewer2 ?? — Viewer3 What is this? — Viewer4 Bug? — Viewer5 No chats at all? — Viewer6 Never chatted once? — Viewer7 #1 recap but no chats, liar!!!!!!! — Viewer8 Makes sense? Makes sense? Makes sense? That's why he was so cool with the autopsy.
Chat history: spotless.
No, not spotless.
Nonexistent.
Zero chats.
"You can leave now. Have a good day, and keep enjoying the streams."
— Faithful1 [Yes, take care!] Never chatted once—this... I got nothing.
Hate to say it myself, but...
"Hardcore concept."
💬 Chat — Viewer1 You're one to talk lolololololol — Viewer2 lololololololol — Viewer3 Room owner saying that is hilarious lololol — Viewer4 You're 100x more hardcore Of course he has an alt.
Probably chats on the alt.
But letting the #1 recap rot like this? Unfathomable.
Zealous Berserker 5665.
I'll remember that.
I'll check periodically to see if chats pop up.
Let's see when your concept breaks, buddy.
...
...
...
Lots of faithful, lots of heretics among them.
Lots of sinners.
Why so many sinners? Hundreds still waiting in VoiceTalk for their turn.
Of course, 80%+ are just trolls.
No denying the bias.
During this confessional content, I developed preconceptions about the faithful.
— Faithful2 [High Priestess. Mom caught me watching your stream while scratching my full body in my room, brought apology food.] "And?"
— Faithful2 [I sinned.] "So, why's that a sin?"
— Faithful2 [Sin of getting caught by mom watching naughty stuff. She nagged that too much rots your bones...] "Out."
💬 Chat — Viewer1 Ao, divine punishment! — Viewer2 Horny stuff ㅇㅈㄹ lolololololol — Viewer3 Student? Stop watching Lee Jia and study... There.
Average faithful.
Nine out of ten like this—how can I expect anything from them?
"Alright, we're done. One last one for real this time, then end."
💬 Chat — Viewer1 Already last one? — Viewer2 Just a bit more plsssssssss — Viewer3 High Priestess, still so many sinners in the world………… — Viewer4 Where arrrrrre yooooou — Viewer5 Last guy divine punishment probability: 99% "Instead, last one needs a proper story. Say it in 1 second after joining. Don't like it? Kick. Boring? Kick. No talk? Kick. Starting now."
The moment I gave the signal...
Faithful started piling into voice chat one by one.
— Faithful3 [In game I...] "No more games. Out."
*Ding.*
— Faithful4 [Stole toilet paper from a public restroom, and right after I left someone else...] "No gross stories. Out. And you're human after that?"
*Ding.*
— Faithful5 [Ah, wanna shove my nose in the divine power pouch and dieeeee!] "You fuck, you're that second sinner from earlier! Scram!"
*Ding.*
— Faithful6 [Non-reflecting galaxies are gods and invincible...] "Argh, just get out!"
💬 Chat — Viewer1 Going insane lolololololol — Viewer2 Chaos lololol — Viewer3 Is this 'make Lee Jia laugh' content? — Viewer4 Surprisingly, it's confessional time — Viewer5 Kicking one per second lolololol — Viewer6 All the villains from earlier showed up again wtf lololol — Viewer7 Weren't they kicked? — Viewer8 Alts lolol — Viewer9 That's proper trolling... mortals take notes Five.
Ten.
Fifteen kicks in, and I was getting tired.
Last story or not, maybe just end the room.
...The moment that thought hit.
Someone joined.
— FinalFaithful [I'm a catfish. A dude pretending to be a girl online.] "Oh, fuck."
'He' dropped a bombshell.
"Approved."
Yeah, you're better than the other psychos.
Let's dive in.
Into the abyss.
