Fanatic Youtuber Who Writes Wikis - Chapter 85

Yoo Eseul.

The undisputed strongest Awakener.

She was an extraordinary person from the very first moment I saw her.

She showed no fear whatsoever in the face of supernatural phenomena.

She was an extreme egoist to the point of feeling excessive.

She was someone who completely lacked social skills.

But for some reason, she had taken a liking to me.

Thanks to that, I’ve been having various conversations with Yoo Eseul lately.

Contrary to her appearance, Yoo Eseul was quite a humane person.

Like how she patted my head earlier.

Or how her hobby was gaming.

It might just be my imagination, but... it’s hard to get her to show affection, but once she does, she seems to take care of you quite well.

So, even as someone inexperienced in relationships, I couldn’t help but develop a favorable impression of Yoo Eseul.

Such a person.

Was now in danger of receiving the Price of Blasphemy.

Yoo Eseul tightly closed her eyes.

She didn’t seem scared, but her pale complexion clearly indicated she was nervous.

This was the first time I had ever seen her make such a tense expression.

I hastily offered a prayer.

Don’t shoot, she’s an ally!

Oh God, punish me instead.

If you bring down the Price of Blasphemy on her, I.

I’ll declare a strike.

Whether my prayer worked, or there was never any intention to bring down the Price of Blasphemy in the first place.

Fortunately, Yoo Eseul was unharmed.

I was genuinely furious and immediately scolded Yoo Eseul.

“What were you thinking all of a sudden! That was dangerous!”

“There was something I needed to confirm.”

“Even so, Eseul unnie, how could you risk your life so easily?”

“I didn’t think I’d die. But you, how do you know I risked my life?”

“Of course, I should know! That huge eyeball received the Price of Blasphemy and exploded on the spot! Even its main body seems to have been destroyed!”

“But I didn’t die. The people watching your stream keep mentioning the Shining Stars all the time, but they don’t die. Why is that?”

“Uh... that’s... well... I wonder...?”

Exactly.

‘Anum – Jihad’ disappeared after receiving the Price of Blasphemy the moment it heard my true name.

Whether it died or was injured is uncertain.

But it definitely withdrew from Earth.

Yet, Yoo Eseul knows my true name is Lee Jia (Vtuber).

And she even blatantly blasphemed the Shining Stars, yet she’s fine.

Why is that?

Thinking about it, I shouldn’t have carelessly revealed my true name to Yoo Eseul.

For all I knew, her head could have exploded like that eyeball.

I’m not even sure why I so willingly told her my true name without a second thought.

But.

I did feel a sense of certainty that 'Yoo Eseul would be safe.'

Then, Yoo Eseul began to share her speculation.

“That eyeball exploded and died after hearing your true name, so why am I fine? There are two possibilities, at most three.”

“Three? Isn’t that a lot…?”

“It’s absurdly few. Listen carefully. The first possibility: your god has shown me mercy.”

“Hmm…”

Setting aside the absurdity, the Radiant Star God is indeed a benevolent deity.

It seems they’ve shown some consideration for my situation.

They do seem flexible, after all.

But.

Regardless of anything else, they show no mercy to blasphemy.

“Unclear, right? I think it’s unclear too. That’s why it’s just a possibility and a speculation. Still, there’s some basis for it.”

“…I think I get it.”

Since putting that basis into words would likely make things quite awkward between Yoo Eseul and me, I simply nodded vaguely.

Yoo Eseul is clearly a figure who is very favorable toward me, so it’s possible that the god has shown mercy.

Not imposing the price of blasphemy on the viewers of my broadcast could also be in the same vein.

Wait, but why is the price of blasphemy only imposed on me?

The more I think about it, the more it feels a bit unfair.

Can’t they cut me some slack too?

“The second possibility: I am immune to all mental attacks. Therefore…”

“…Broadly speaking, the price of blasphemy is a kind of mental attack, so it doesn’t work on you…?”

“Exactly. You’re surprisingly sharp, huh?”

“But, uh, the Radiant Star God isn’t human, they’re a god…?”

This feels a bit.

Arrogant, maybe.

How dare a mortal defy the power of a god?

Regardless of my confusion, Yoo Eseul continued.

“So what? Whether it’s a god’s mental attack or a supernatural mental attack, it doesn’t work on me. ‘All’ means just that. If a god’s mental attack worked on me, the word ‘all’ wouldn’t be in your wiki, would it?”

“Well, but…”

“You said it yourself. The wiki never lies.”

“…”

Yoo Eseul wasn’t wrong. But.

If I agree with Yoo Eseul, it means I’m daring to doubt the power of a god.

If I disagree, it means I’m doubting the wiki. It’s a catch-22.

What am I supposed to do?

“There is a way to accurately confirm whether it’s because of my ability that the price of blasphemy doesn’t work or not.”

“What, what is it?”

“Reveal your true name on your broadcast.”

“…”

As Yoo Eseul said, it’s an accurate way to confirm.

If Yoo Eseul’s ability and the price of blasphemy are unrelated, then everyone watching my broadcast would be perfectly fine.

Conversely.

If it’s because of Yoo Eseul’s ability that the price of blasphemy doesn’t work.

Then the eyeballs of all the viewers watching my broadcast would…

“Aaaaah! You psychopath, subhuman! How can you say something like that!”

“Of course, I was joking. …Even your over-the-top reaction feels unreal to me. Anyone else would have been trembling under the pressure by now.”

“What’s so pressuring about it? I just have to never reveal my true name to the viewers for the rest of my life, right?”

“Enough, let’s move on. The third possibility.”

After a brief pause, Yoo Eseul continued.

“The god you believe in, the Radiant Star God, is very favorable toward humans.”

My head nodded on its own.

…This seems the most plausible.

It’s not entirely baseless speculation.

The Radiant Star God is deeply interested in humans.

After all, the fact that they imposed the ‘Vtuber’ restriction on me is strong evidence that they understand human culture well.

“Conclusion. You should just keep your mouth shut from now on. Since we don’t know which of the three possibilities is correct, don’t even think about carelessly revealing your true name to anyone except me.”

“…I know that already.”

I’m a Vtuber, after all.

I have no intention of spreading my own red pill.

Once again, I felt grateful that my true name has parentheses around it.

Who could have guessed?

How could someone’s name have parentheses?

“…”

Since it's not a person, that's why there are parentheses around the name, right.

Anyway, thanks to Yoo Iseul's explanation, I could clearly understand why I shouldn't talk about what happened today to others.

Whether it's information that shakes the foundation of the world or not.

Simply.

It puts the listener's life in danger.

"I don't know why hearing your true name was considered blasphemy, and neither do you. Whatever the case, regardless of your will, from now on, you've become a dangerous and important existence."

"Right. I completely understand."

“…”

“Why?”

Yoo Iseul, looking worried, raised one eyebrow and spoke.

"...Ha. I feel pathetic for not having the talent to speak indirectly. Hey, are you okay?"

"With what?"

"Whether it's burdensome or scary. You've come to know an uncomfortable truth."

"Not at all."

I can say with certainty.

No matter what happens in the future.

Nothing will be more burdensome and scary than encountering black smoke, having my body and race changed.

Absolutely.

It will never happen.

A fervent follower.

Anomaly.

Item.

Of course, I'm curious about the truth.

That's why I asked that eye.

But, it's just curiosity, not fear at all.

As time goes by, I feel like I'm getting closer to the truth step by step.

No matter what truth I come to know.

Could it be more burdensome than Bi-chin's Many Stars?

Could it be scarier than Bi-chin's Many Stars?

It's natural for a person... no, a mortal to fear a god.

It could be in a negative sense.

Or a positive sense.

For the record, it's both for me.

They forcibly changed my body and imposed duties on me without a word, so it's scary and fearful.

Nevertheless, they also help me in various ways like a tsundere, so I feel awe and fear.

Therefore, it seems I can now treat anomalies as 'trivial'.

Anomalies, truth, whatever...

Duties are more important to me.

If I don't broadcast today, I'll be dragged to the Omnia Archive for a one-on-one interview with Bi-chin's Many Stars.

Conclusion.

I should go home, take a bath, and sleep.

I feel so uncomfortable because I have dirt and dust all over my body, it's unbearable.

Ah, right.

"Thank you, Iseul unnie."

I should say what needs to be said.

I bowed deeply to Yoo Iseul and sincerely expressed my gratitude.

Even adding the title 'unnie' properly.

Yoo Iseul looked slightly flustered.

"Why are you thanking me so much? Did I solve it? You solved it yourself. And it was me who called you out in the first place, why..."

"Thank you for always caring about me."

To state the facts.

Yoo Iseul was even more flustered.

"W-when did I ever care! Don't misunderstand, it's not like that at all!"

"Hmph."

A hum escaped my lips as I felt good.

This person is incredibly weak to compliments.

The reaction is deliciously amusing.

I kept giggling to myself afterward.

Eventually, Yoo Iseul got angry and gave me a flick on the forehead.

Thud!

It seemed quite strong.

Hmm.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

"...Shut up."

A bizarre situation occurred where the one who got hit was worried about the one who hit.
