“Doo-bi-doo-bi-doo, it’s Wakamou Inarizushi. How have you been, Believers? I’ve been lounging around all day.”
The broadcast starts and fills the screen with a bust shot of the Fox Deity.
Her flowing black hair falling over what appeared to be an overwhelming chest enthralled the viewers.
– You’re not rolling down the road instead of your room, right?
– I heard you showed the “Tree Guardian” a hard time to the new participant, Drake, in Reality Online.
– A field boss who can’t even beat a 22nd layer monster, “Dark Ring.” Baldy, stop making games like this!!
– If you keep making games like this, who’d even stay?
– You guys would. You’re gonna play anyway, aren’t you?
– Ahahaha, damn, it’s pissing me off, damn, lol.
– Thank you for saving me!! You were really cool!!
– There was a time when a lowest-layer climber couldn’t defeat a 20th layer monster… Yeah, that happened.
– What’s the 10th floor boss’s crime? They say it’s a trash mob on the 20th floor.
– What do you mean, I’m here to watch an execution of today’s Executioner.
– It’s the start of the Leader’s monster fatality that triggered a revolution rivaling the French Revolution.
– Ahahaha, it’s quite a spectacle, isn’t it? haha
– We’re living in a savage era.
– But, what’s that tail behind the Leader? Can you bring it out now?
“Eh? Oh, this thing?”
She showed one wagging tail. It was a sort of decoration she crafted using [Mana Manipulation].
Of course, since it was made in a way that connected to her body, you could say it sprouted like a wart, if you wanna put it that way… right?
I’d appreciate it if you could understand the difficult analogy. The tail that seemed lush was only so on the outside; the inside was empty.
And inside it, I roughly stuffed [Mana Potions]. To smash one each time, or all at once, to recover mana when needed.
Originally, the idea started from thinking if I could change the exterior with [Mana Manipulation], couldn’t I elongate my arms or legs?
But that’d be creepy.
That’s why I also thought putting something inside the tail was a good idea. An experiment, if you will?
I could even freely inflate my chest, so at this rate, isn’t it like that Plastic Man from DC Comics?
Probably because I’m too fixated on the form of the Fox Deity, as long as the mana increases, there’s an endless range of things I could do. But I’d still have to keep the Fox Deity concept.
“What’s odd about a fox having a tail? It just takes it out. With this, it’s inconvenient to sleep lying down. Hard to sleep lying sideways, too.”
She embraced what looked like an incredibly fluffy tail, flaunted it, wagged the tail tip snugly, and sent a fox-like smile, accelerating the comment section.
There was a time when viewers were scarce, and I would’ve read every comment and remembered them all. But now that regular viewers surpass four digits, even looking is a hassle.
I have good eyes, so I watch; but I wonder how other streamers or VTubers see it all?
– I really want to cuddle it just once; it looks incredibly soft.
– I heard there was an opening for a broadcast manager in the Leader’s cafe; are they really an association executive?
– What are you asking about? Look at the cafe’s notice page, haha.
– Finally, we have rules even for our broadcast!!
– You said you’d stage a French revolution, but wasn’t it about fighting for freedom?
– Yeah, believers fought to see the Fox Deity’s chest.
– Ah! I was uneducated!! You should all just leave so only I can watch!!
– Please, hold a fan meeting just once, please!!
– Ban the guy who posted about the Fox Deity’s fur texture in the cafe for life!!!!
It’s chaos itself. Popular broadcasters must suffer from this all the time… At least I am relieved, knowing I won’t have to deal with a stalker.
It’s common to have stalkers once you gain popularity like this. You never know what’ll come if you receive gifts. I was just grateful now that I’ve got a manager.
“Anyway, everyone, I’m finally going to climb the 10th floor today. I’ve been preparing steadily. Can you see this figure photo?”
With a peace sign, Wakamou showed a picture of super limited-edition figures, floating it in the air.
Why hide it? To be blunt, it was bragging!
– Yes, I can see it well. So the panty color is black?
– How do you know the panty angle here isn’t visible?
– Pecoyama modeling’s panties are black, haha.
– Crazy bastard, bite your own tongue and drop dead, please.
– What’s the Leader’s panty color?
– I’m jealous of the items with the autograph.
– Is this the Leader’s humble brag? Fighting would be pointless, so I’ll hold back.
– Indeed haha, if you resist, you might get caught by the country and “re-enlist,” haha.
– Damn, terrifying, haha.
– No wonder the community seemed calm…
Initially gentle, but both in the chat and community, they only went as far as subtle sexual harassment like wondering about the weight of the Fox Deity’s chest, mildly maintaining manners(?).
Some acted wild, claiming anonymity because they didn’t live in South Korea.
Sure, they’d want the bulletin board manager to live long; nationality didn’t matter.
Many internet users got kicked out of communities today.
“Uh… mine’s black too.”
Curious about the question, I secretly pulled down my skirt, peeked inside, and answered, sparking comment section explosions.
Beyond being overheated, like an echoing howl of wolves and frogs, teasing the believers.
“Beeeh”
Fluttering her tongue out, Wakamou playfully retorted, causing some spectacular reactions.
– Why so cute? Why so cute? Why so cute?
– She’s like a Giantess, yet acting arrogant like a brat!!
– Rather than that, is it true her chest is so big she needs to pull to see???
– Seeing those reactions and giggling like crazy, this is the foxiness of women!!!
– The Leader is a fox, so isn’t foxiness fitting?
– Woo… Doo-tay… Huh? I prefer boys, but I might awaken to something else…
– That is indeed the Leader’s mental treatment.
– Gay, hey gay…. Take a look at that rack once more and stabilize yourself…
– Bigger chest, bigger tail, bigger happiness.
– I wish the leader were a money-receiving VTuber instead. Let me set missions, please. Please!!!
– Omelette-rice Master!!!
– Tanghulu!!!
– Yeobbongbong!!!
– Please trample me, calling me a pathetic wretch!!
– V-bungie.
– It won’t go too far…
“I can’t trample for you, but I can put a foot on my chest.”
She lifted her leg flexibly, lightly placed her foot on her chest, and wriggled her toes.
Overall it would be a bizarre pose─but only the chest and sole of the foot were visible, so it didn’t matter.
– She complies with it.
– Let me dive my head in there and die!!!
– Can you dive your head simultaneously into both chest and foot?
– I’m new, are there only beastly fiends here?
– Uh no, it’s a psychiatric ward instead? The attending doctor has a big rack.
– I think I’ve come to the right place!
“For the money you’d spend on donations or memberships for my stream, please send to these adorable 10 VTubers for whom I made 17 video clips.”
– Natural way of promoting indies, genuinely what is this.
– Flowing, breathing, leading indies promotion.
– Without VTubers, Leader won’t broadcast, so they must save VTubers, yeah.
– Meeting the domestic VTuber support gallery’s Joo-dtak.
– Then, go to those VTuber rooms and ask them to do the Leader’s aegyo.
“If VTubers ask, I will film and upload a short.”
– Why won’t you do it live for us!!!
– What exactly is this discrimination!!!
– Believers are people too, people!!!
– Boohoo, love us too, mom, boohoo.
– Either way, it means if we donate, a short video will be uploaded!!!!
– Let’s go-oo-o!!!
– Leader had already sent it massively? Sent like a ton?
– Uh, why is the Leader playing donation defense against believers?
– Meanwhile, they sent donations to a queen not on the list.
– Ahahaha, I’m losing it really.
Slowly warming up the broadcast with chit chat.
About the Drake terror news, the red pill, or if they’re doing a collab despite claiming to be home.
Answering viewers’ questions appropriately, advising them to be careful with their comments now that there’s a new manager too.
After conquering the 10th floor, the Leader planned to show fan art by believers, and explore the cafe as they gently unfolded the schedule.
By the 6th day of broadcasting, I was starting to get used to it.
Not as if the experience of broadcasting for 5 years previously goes anywhere, right?
Chugging, chugging─
Why such a thing existed at the construction site is unknown, but I could only consider myself lucky when trying to fetch the rebar.
Worried whether it’s okay, asking my manager made her slightly bewildered, but she permitted that much, saying it was fine.
Ascending to the 10th floor.
Solo climbers ascending without any support would be considered quite fast, wouldn’t they? With a “Legendary Class,” climbing leisurely at an idle pace would mean slow, too slow.
In the 10th layer, climbers face a [Large Monster] for the first time.
The creature is called the [Giant Warlan].
It’s a king lizard-like thing, 7 meters long.
It doesn’t use [Skills], movements are sluggish and straightforward, so unless your job category is support, it can easily be defeated. Facing this creature till defeat is like a tutorial for climbers.
The manager insisted on gear support till the end ─ but the only gear I could wear were handmade items or what the Tower provided according to my job class.

‘Barely passable……’
Praying for no major issues, I stepped onto the 10th floor.
The moment I set foot on the next level, an audio guide resounded, audible to even the viewers.
[The Tower verifies the climber’s achievements]
Ring ring!!
[Truly overwhelming accomplishment!! A suitable Elite Monster is summoned!!]
[There is no escape until it is defeated!!]
-?????? What the hell’s happening, what’s going on right now???
– Is the difficulty rising because the Leader’s strategy is too good?
– Why the hell are they saying this after climbing up?
– What do we do if we can’t exit the tower?? Isn’t that ordinarily possible?
– Except at the highest layers, there’s no such penalty.
– What’s an [Elite Monster]…?
– Occasionally a unique stronger creature appears in the tower.
– So our Leader is in big trouble?
[The 10th level boss changes to [Giant Warlan Who Swallows Whole]!
[Climbing Incheon Tower 10th layer world]
-You have met the qualifications to challenge the Tower. Overcome against [Elite Monster].
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Own [Complete Strategy Layers] 9 (9/9)
-Defeat [Giant Warlan Who Swallows Whole] (0/1)
Viewers, both climbers and spectators, witnessed an unseen spectacle.
Only Wakamou could understand the reason behind this occurrence.
The 9 [Complete Strategy Layers] I achieved climbing up were the cause of this havoc.
Imposing a record-breaking perfect consecutive clears as the reason, the Tower raises the difficulty level?
This phenomenon, said to occur after conquering the tower, increasing the trial’s risk relative to the tower floor, was reaching this climber at barely the 10th layer.
“This is serious!”
The Association President watching the broadcast couldn’t help but be astonished.
Not just any monster, but an [Elite Monster]. Especially since it had a title in front?
“At least it’ll use two [Skills]. This is dangerous!”
Entering meant exiting was impossible. In the worst case, this situation could lead to climber’s tipping dangerously to a gruesome end.
Moreover, after a sudden climb post-fight with the [Drake].
“Wakamou-san isn’t even in full condition! Fighting while tired is a sure loss!”
“You really didn’t take any equipment support?”
“Well, I did refuse support… I asked to fetch something from a demolition site, though…”
“Fetch?”
Churrr──
At Association President’s query about Manager Wanda Haye’s story, ringing metal scraping sound echoed beyond what’s seen on viewers’ screens. Or rather, it should be called the sound of gathered chains moving and clashing against each other?
“That is…”
Some climbers bring guns into the tower. As long as the condition of ‘carrying’ is met, external weapons can be brought in.
This means they should be in contact with the body, like carried by hand or shoulder-sovereign!
Using tank-level weapons would be challenging without a special ‘Legendary Class.’
“Keieieieik!!!!”
Therefore, Wakamou “brought it in hand-carried”
The [Giant Warlan Who Swallows Whole], emits a terrifying roar dashing across the marshland. Originally, the fight should’ve taken place on rocky grounds, but every condition was overwhelmingly disadvantageous to Wakamou.
Wagging its tail, the elite Warlan, making contact with the ground, charged using a quadruped gait, emitting purple smoke poisons from its skin appeared, astonishing viewers witnessing such skin toxicity.
-No, using poison smoke in subterranean swamp, where can you even avoid?
-Without an antidote, isn’t our Leader in big trouble?
-Didn’t they say they don’t breathe, so is it fine?
-Who doesn’t breathe?? It’s a joke because they’re a VTuber, you dummy!!
-That thing shoots fire from its mouth!!!
-What??
-Using two skills on the 10th layer?? The tower’s gone mad??
Already, visibility was covered by thick poisonous smoke which hinders proper sight.
Within Warlan’s open maw, flames began to gather up.
The opponent, a reptile, could track Wakamou’s body heat even if she remained invisibly cloaked. Failing to locate, spreading poison would slowly bind in torturous pain leading to demise.
Yet the adversary proceeds to inhale, gathering [Mana], molding a massive fireball, shooting at Wakamou’s standing position.
“How pitiable”
In the thick smoke, the nigh unrecognizable shadow appeared, scattering the thick smoke.
Just as a tablecloth might be yanked from atop a table, the smoke was drawn in, the giant fireball flying toward Wakamou shattered being struck down by something even larger.
Embedded in the marshland was…
Weight 700kg.
A wrecking ball, typically swinging by construction hook with inertia, resuming its use for bursting out tower monsters in collapse… broadly known as ‘Wrecking Ball’
The steel ball slightly larger than the entity itself.
And the chain attached to that wrecking ball.
“Even with a lizard’s brain, you gotta realize what’s happening now, right──!!!!”
Quagaggagagak!!!!
Along with a grinding noise that seemed to overturn the ground, churning up the marshland, the steel ball spun.
One of Wakamou’s arms surrounded the chain coiling it around as a brace, as the other wielded the steel ball impulsing centrifugal force.
On the slender arm, bulging veins appeared, ready to burst, as Wakamou gritted her teeth, moving one more step forward, forming a breeze while rotating several revolutions, launching the steel ball like a cannon toward Warlan’s cranium.
Nimbly dodging with a sidestep, the agile Warlan managed to evade.
Not flustered, it opened its jaw firing another fireball── if one had a keen ear, they might have realized.
The absence of any sound of the steel ball colliding.
Using [Mana Manipulation] halted the airborne steel ball midair.
Tension strung the chain, leaving a momentarily airborne steel ball.
Boom─!
Erasing the marshland’s fireball, jumping in time, Wakamou mid-air twisted while gathering the chain around her waist, reeling in the steel ball back toward her.
[Stats]
Magic Power : 9,450
“Namu Amitabha!!!”
And midair, using a [Filming] generated [Additional Camera] as a foothold, she reversed spins, unraveling the chain from above to below.
Unable to anticipate a rapid evade once more, the Warlan’s head was struck directly from above by a massive iron sphere elevating its gaze with great difficulty.
Whoosh─!!
Water in the marshland ricocheted until touching the ceiling.
Splash.
And descending Wakamou.
Underneath the completely bisected steel ball lay a Warlan’s head submerged in the marshland.
Observing the monster’s blood seeping up, sweeping up her bangs, Wakamou turned toward the stupefied viewers with a smile.
“V for victory”
Flashing her sharp shark-like teeth with an inverted V-sign, the broadcast ended.
Accompanied with phrases to see them on the fan café post-broadcast.
The viewers erupted once more.
