It’s not that kind of malicious broadcast

Chapter 17 – Might is Right.

What is a sin?

Who defines it, and who judges it?

Is it fair to later label the memories of laughter and excitement shared together in a place of promised freedom as crimes?

Are we justified in singling out only one of the kids who used to sneak into the watermelon fields and laugh while running away from the owner 50 years ago, and branding them as a rogue?

And all because they happened to catch the spotlight by a mere roll of the dice?

Nobody would think so. I had the confidence to speak to the judge in the courtroom.

… But this isn’t a courtroom, and my crime isn’t judged by the judge. This is a trial where only one Lord makes the decisions as they please, and where onlookers freely hurl stones to sway public opinion.

Can I navigate through this thorny path without the help of a lawyer?Claiming the right to appoint a lawyer won’t be accepted, will it?

Setting aside my complicated thoughts, I cautiously greeted the master.

“CravingWarmAmericano(dam0729): Hello.”

“Yes, hello. Your username is too long, can I call you something shorter?”

“CravingWarmAmericano(dam0729): Yes.”

“How should I shorten it? Warm? Is that okay?”

I hesitated for a moment. It feels like we might bid farewell warmly. Calling them like that. But I am currently a potential criminal with my neck already on the guillotine. I shouldn’t agitate their feelings.

I do have that much sense of judgment.”dam0729: Yes.”

“Since the roulette result is quite serious, I will extend the invitation for probation… Are you willing to accept it?”

“dam0729: I have an urgent schedule.”

“dam0729: Would it be possible to trade the probationary ticket?”

I pulled out the defense strategy I had prepared. One of the contents of the Dodat broadcast, probationary ticket. It is the right to have even a permanent ban lifted, provided that the person has not committed extremely heinous crimes.

Since the probationary ticket is obtained through the roulette, and my probationary ticket was also obtained through the roulette, it could be considered a fair 1:1 exchange, right?

The reactions in the chat room to my clever strategy were mostly similar.

“Probationary ticket LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOL”

“Did Dodat have probationary tickets in the room?”

“Once in a while, gather up all those who begged to be unbanned, spin the roulette, and unban one person.”

“Haha, they already know they might get banned LOL”

“Absolutely not going to change it! Losers LOL”

“Do you think it will work? LOL”

Teasing or,

“- User ㅇㅇ has donated 1,000 won! -”

“Teacher, that guy who said he had urgent business in Ark’s room and ran away is now watching the broadcast here. Don’t be fooled.”

Taunting or,

“That urgent business of his LOL”

“You’re talking about pardoning again, lOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL get out~”

I sneered.

… It’s unfair. It was really urgent back then. Not so much now, but anyway.

The Dodat’s Rogue 1-Match Special broadcast is a major event.

It’s the only content where the rogues can go up to 12 matches in a row, but since it consumes alternate characters, we don’t get to do it often.

In that sense, I think there’s also fault on Dodat’s part for suddenly declaring the Rogue 1-Match Special without even giving prior notice. I can’t say it out loud, though.

And come to think of it… I was going to send a chicken dinner confirmation photo and an apology text to Ark after finishing eating, but I got too flustered when my sister came home and momentarily forgot about it.

While I had Ark listed on the ‘apology list’ in one corner of my mind, more unjust suspicions were being brought up once again during Dodat’s broadcast.

“Ark-nim? Warm-nim, what else were you doing in Ark-nim’s room?”

– User has donated 1,000 won! –

【It’s faster to ask what I did, teacher】

『LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL That’s right』

『Seriously, what did I not do』

『Seriously, what did I really not do…?』

『I haven’t not done anything…!』

But that’s not true. There are many things I haven’t done. There are many things I haven’t been able to do despite thinking about them. Really, there are plenty of things.

『CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): I feel unfairly treated』Hmm… I understand. The events in Ark-nim’s room are something for Ark-nim to decide.”

“But, no trading for amnesty rights. It seems you have a criminal record too… Let’s see. For sending alternating art of a rogue’s face and a dagger… Blocked for 7 days.”

『CravingWarmAmericano(dam0729): I have a story』

『No story, no crime』

『Why do criminals always have the same repertoire?』

『What kind of story involves pasting a rogue’s face and a dagger repeatedly…?』

『Did the rogue break into someone’s house, threaten them with a dagger to their throat?』

『Oh, it was a distress signal』

『If it was a distress signal, then it’s understandable』

“Hmm…”

Lost in thought, dodae scratched his head and then proceeded to manipulate the device, entering a music streaming site. No. That-

“Unfortunately, a sin is still a sin. Serve your time, and graduate cleanly. I’ll play a song that’s fitting for your departure. Farewell, my dear friend who I’ve been close to for so long.”

– My dearly beloved friend who I’ve been with for a long time

– Must we say goodbye and part ways?

Every time Dodat sends off a graduating viewer, upbeat music fills the room.

– Long~

– LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL, another one graduates like this again.

– I won’t be too far away, goodbye~

– Long~ my dear~ friend whom I’ve been with for so long~

– Goodbye, take care~ With a glass raised in hand~

– Execution Song ON

– This is a graduation song~ Not an execution song~

– Graduation (Expulsion)

This includes a permanent ban, including an IP ban. Until obtaining a pardon by chance, it will never be lifted. Once a viewer receives a permanent ban, even if they come with an alternate ID offering to pay to be unbanned, that new ID will also be banned.

It was almost tear-jerking. With new broadcasters emerging almost every day, KoK’s broadcast was almost infinite in number, challenger broadcasters too numerous to count by hand, while there are broadcasters who entertain as rogues, there are no broadcasters who play as a rogue between Master and Challenger.

Just one exception. More precisely, there is one Russian female broadcaster and one Polish male broadcaster among the challengers worldwide. However, they don’t even use English. Even their chats are all in Russian or Polish.

So, if I get banned from the rogue broadcast, I might have to move to a new place just to change my IP in order to chat on the rogue broadcast. Or maybe I should learn Russian or Polish. No, that’s not possible. That won’t happen.

In that case, should I just buy a VPN from E company or N company?”No, it’s certain to happen. And at that time, you will make every effort to enjoy the utility of the value paid. So, hopefully, you will make a wise judgment as well.”

Just as I was about to summarize those words, a sudden thought struck me like lightning.

“CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): Wait a moment.”

“CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): Just a moment.”

“Sure.”

“CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): Trial.”

“CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): Requesting.”

“CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): Duel Trial.”

No one had applied and it was slowly being forgotten, one of Dodat’s broadcast rules.

Duel Trial. Those who followed the broadcast for more than 3 months, regardless of any sin committed, could prove their innocence by winning a duel against Dodat just once.

Seemingly a rule even Dodat had forgotten, he halted the climax of a song with a bewildered expression, gazing into the camera.

– Duel Trial.

– ???

– Oh?

– LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL. Someone really is applying for this.

– Duel (Execution).

– LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL. A Duel Trial against Dodat. LOLOLOL LOLOLOL.

I never thought I would be chosen, but the rule I saw immediately made me nod my head.

-User 1 has donated 1,000 won!-

『Oh god… Shouldn’t I just not bother and skip the graduation ceremony since I won’t even get hit with a wooden stick…?』

『Seriously, lOL LOL LOL LOL 』

『Getting hit with a wooden stick at the graduation ceremony LOL LOL LOL 』

《Losing in a duel means a permanent ban on ID, iP, and resident registration number, and you know you are excluded from special pardons and amnesty, right?》

『CravingWarmAmericano (dam0729): Yes』

《Please send me your ID.》

Might is right.

Isn’t it common sense?

Title: Duel Board of Dodat-Ssaem vs. GetDevoured

Hurry up and come see, it’s probably going to end quickly with a 1 kill lead.

– Who applied for suicide again?

– That rogue who fought Gwangjil last time.

– LOLOLOL, they say they outplayed Gwangjil, lOLOLOL. They barely won by using a bug or a hack after sweating for that one kill, lOL.

– Yeah, Gwangjil got outplayed.

– And they got outplayed by a rogue too.

– Is it worse to be outplayed by a rogue as a warrior or to strip down and dance naked as a monk?

– I don’t like either of them.

– You’re so kind, Gwangjil. Take both of them.

– LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL Seriously

Title: Come to think of it, why don’t you do a naked dogeza, Gwangjil?

Lately, you don’t seem to be around much.

Even if you leave the forum, let’s go out with a naked dogeza~ You crazy freak~

– Would you do it if it were you?

– Oh, just do it. It’s a reward for me. LOLOLOL Why not?

– Seriously, I’d do it even if I had to kneel down in the underground passage.

– I’d go and do it.

– I can even show various angles of dogeza by turning 360 degrees in front of you.

– If the police contact you, just deal with it.
