It's a Gender-Reversed World, But I Don't Go Out Anyway - Chapter 46
Chapter 46: Consultation
* * *
“We absolutely have to catch one person here…”
“Hey, you can’t just take that back…”
Looking at the situation, Yellow and Blue were accusing each other of being the impostor.
I didn’t know what was going on since I was just focused on doing tasks, and the other two remaining players were each pushing for either Blue or Yellow, wait, pushing for?
“If we catch one person now, we’ll definitely win!”
[Yeah it’s either Blue,Gray or Yellow,White]
[Now we have to start winning over Daeju]
[Damn is this a game within a game? Win over Daeju?]
[Ah haha can’t show off my sexy body since it’s a 2D game lol]
[Haha too bad we can’t hit that girl above since it’s not 4D game lol]
In reality, my mind was already made up.
“There’s no way it’s Blue”
[Did you develop affection points?]
[I thought it was Blue too but now that Daeju says this…]
[If Daeju says that then it can’t be…]
[The way he’s defending Blue, could it be…]
ㄴ [Has been forcibly removed.]
[Hey!!!]
With the other 4 players having already voted, everyone was waiting for my vote while claiming their innocence and trying to persuade me.
And suddenly, a mission appeared with a coin sound from somewhere other than Among Us.
[50,000 won if you vote Blue]
“But I’m telling you Blue doesn’t seem sus…”
[Now this is a mission lol]
[You wouldn’t sell your conscience for 50k won right?]
[Thinking about the dead crewmates, only a beast would do that lol]
[Daeju has pride lol put up more mission money lol]
[Trolling is pretty disgusting though]
I turned my head to look at the chat’s reactions.
Honestly, 50,000 won was tempting, but I felt it was time for me to care about public opinion too. Yeah, would making the game boring for 50,000 won be worth it when it wouldn’t even make for good YouTube content and would just make people upset?
“Right, we should catch the real impostor? What’s 50,000 won compared to that?”
[Come on lol this isn’t even ranked League, it’s just practice Among Us, you can troll a bit lol]
[For real, is 50k won a small amount? These kids don’t know how precious money is]
[Honestly I’d throw ranked games for 50k too lol]
[Daeju be honest]
[This is those bastards’ fault for not putting up a 60k won mission for voting Yellow lol]
“Yeah it’s just practice anyway, I can troll a bit for 50k! Put up 60k then!”
[This guy has multiple personalities?]
[Don’t make eye contact, he’s just crazy]
[Lololol Dae and Ju are fighting]
Even as I was lost in thought, the voting time kept decreasing.
With little time left until the choice, my selection wasㅡ
“Guys… honestly, I think Blue is the impostor. The circumstances are suspicious.”
[???]
[Again again]
[What circumstances lol]
[It would be more likable if you just said “waa[1] I’m team 50k won” and voted Blue, why try to make excuses]
“Waa”
In the end, I voted Blue for the 50,000 won.
“It wasn’t worth 50,000 won of bond”
The ejection animation played and Blue’s identity was revealed.
“Huh?”
[???]
[Wait what]
[??? When did she kill in round 1?]
[Did she mindlessly kill Red when passing by in cafeteria?]
[They were out of sight briefly in cafeteria]
I stared open-mouthed at Blue’s spacesuit flying away at the unexpected reveal.
The game was essentially over now, and the outcome was all but decided.
Right after the vote ended, I called an emergency meeting, killed Gray who had been pushing Yellow along with Blue, and the game ended in a crewmate victory…
“Hey Blue, when did you kill?”
In round 1, we were always together so there shouldn’t have been any timing to kill.
“Really? But I didn’t see any kills”
Even though we were briefly separated and out of vision range occasionally, I just thought Blue was keeping distance in case I was the impostor, but
“But wasn’t Brown with Red?”
Good timing, they said.
It seemed like such an incredible series of coincidences that you’d wonder if such luck was possible, but considering she got caught due to a viewer’s troll mission, maybe her luck wasn’t all that great.
“…Well, that was expected”
[What did you expect?]
[Getting the 50k won lol]
[Did you perhaps predict how harsh my words would be?]
[Don’t think he could predict that lol]
“Alright, now it’s my turn to be impostor!”
In the very next game, I…
“That’s right!”
Maybe because I wanted it so desperately, I got impostor.
“I’ll show you how it’s done, master of politics!”
[Huh? Are you saying you’re better at politics than all the politicians right now?]
[Tsk this might be controversial]
[Still I’d like Daeju to become a politician]
[Why?]
[He won’t ask for votes. But come to think of it, isn’t asking for votes kind of suggestive? Like “pull one out for me”[2] uwu;;;]
[Are you a genius?]
After chat-banning everyone who was trying to derail the chat by subtly bringing up politics, I focused on my impostor activities.
First, since everyone moves together at the start, I deliberately kept some distance and pretended to have the same tasks, following behind Yellow and standing still in front of places where missions were being done. Even I thought it was nearly perfect acting. Now Yellow won’t suspect me. Because Yellow will completely trust me.
That’s when an emergency meeting was called.
“What? No one even died?”
Blue suddenly called a meeting.
“Hey is this fair? This is going too far!”
[Lololololololol]
[I know because I’m watching the stream but Daeju is impostor lol]
[Damn lololol]
[The audacity is astounding lol]
Thanks to Blue’s surprise declaration, perhaps in revenge for last round, I was definitely going to die.
“Nope nope f**k this…”
It took less than 3 minutes to close and delete the game.
YouTube content? Well I got some. Sure did.
Since there was still a lot of time left before I was supposed to end the stream, I couldn’t just end it like this.
Who would have expected that I’d end up playing just one round of Among Us before quitting? First I checked Blue’s forum ID and banned her out of spite. I even got her banned from TGD which people these days fear more than getting banned from my streams. She needed to learn that the anger of losing my impostor chance was not to be taken lightly.
“…Write some interesting worries or something.”
Feeling a bit down, I asked for people to write their worries.
Even if I don’t know my own worries, reading my viewers’ worries would be perfect for killing time with some laughs.
That’s the kind of person I am.
[Where in the world are there interesting worries…]
[Dinner worries]
[How is that interesting it’s serious;]
[Are you seriously worrying about how many more kilos you’ll gain? lol]
“Come on, you guys don’t have any worries. People with real worries don’t chat like this”
[Lolol that’s true]
The TGD reaction was immediate.
There were already over 12 worry posts written.
I select among them by looking at the titles.
For example, I skipped ones like [Underwear color], [Dinner menu]. I wasn’t curious, and those weren’t even real worries.
***
[I want to change my name.]
My name is pure Korean.
Honestly I think the name is pretty.
Mideum, it’s the pronunciation of “믿음”(faith) in Korean so it’s pretty.
But my surname is Ae ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[Comments]
Holy shit lol your full name is Ae Mi Deum[3]?
ㄴ What can you do when the spacing makes it like that lolololol
Such a filial daughter… lifting up mom lolol
Honestly I wouldn’t tell others to change their name but you should…
How did you survive school;;;
ㄴ Wow just imagining my name being Aemideum gives me chills
ㄴ If it were me I’d jump out the window when they call attendance…
***
“No… change it… don’t even think about it…pfft”
[Pfft? This bastard is laughing?]
[Meanwhile some people become unfilial daughters even living diligently]
[Lololol at lifting up lol damn lololol]
[My name is Lee Byeol but I’ll just live without complaining.]
[Wow honestly the name Ibyeol[4] is nice though?]
[Forever alone]
[What a waste of a good name you bastard lol]
After this, name consultation posts started notably increasing between the worry consultation posts.

(End of chapter)
T/N:
1.The “waa” (응애) is baby talk in Korean.
2. “뽑다” (ppopda) can mean both “to vote” and “to pull out
3. There’s wordplay with the name “애미듬 (Ae Mi Deum)” – when spaced as “애 미듬”, it literally means “lifting mother” in Korean, hence the jokes about being filial and lifting up mom.
4. “이별 (Ibyeol)” means “parting/separation” in Korean, which is why there are jokes about the person being “forever alone” despite having a nice-sounding name.
