[Title: Analyzing the Background of the Leader and Nationality]
If you’re able to carry the Imperial Seal from China, you’re at least a general.
They fought among the countless generals in China, exceeding units of ten thousand.
By that rationale, they might be from Cao Cao’s army.
Seeing that they left with the seal, it shows Cao Cao wasn’t fit to be a king.
Then follows the Battle of Dan-no-ura.
The record of the missing seal dates back to around the 900s.
Dan-no-ura was in 1185, so the Leader could have easily made their way to Japan.
Perhaps they lived at the Inari Shrine?
It’s possible they saved Emperor Antoku because it was pitiful that he threw himself into the sea at the tender age of six.
They say the Three Sacred Treasures are fake except for the Magatama. If the sword is with the Leader, they probably have the mirror too.
(Today’s news on the donation by VTuber Wakamou)
And the genuine Taegeukgi used in the March 1st Movement. They say the Tower made it into an item.
At this point, the Tower seems to have turned all of the Leader’s belongings into artifact-level items.
I mean, technically they are historical items, so it makes sense.
Our Leader lived a damn spectacle of a life, don’t you think?
Everywhere they went, it was war, war, war.
They probably didn’t get to see the atomic bomb drop on Japan.
Now they’re doing VTuber broadcasts because times are peaceful.
Isn’t it impressive they haven’t become tired of humans?
– Those muscles look like they’d be good at exercises.
ㄴThe independence movement?
ㄴThey say they were at the forefront of the March 1st Movement…
– No way, they’re an independence fighter!!!!
– This goes beyond patriotic pride. Isn’t this just Captain Korea?
– The Korean fox who’s lived for a millennium… This will surely appear in comics soon.
– Not even a Chinese general, Japanese officer, or a Korean war could kill me….
ㄴFor the Leader, this is just another beginning, right?
– Why are they a VTuber? Really don’t know, asking genuinely. They are a VTuber, right?
ㄴThey’re broadcasting with a setup, so they’re a VTuber.
ㄴIf you own a studio and run a VTuber broadcast, you’re a VTuber, 100%.
ㄴWhat’s the problem? There’s a VTuber who does it all openly.
ㄴAre you trying to defame an independence fighter? You perhaps?
ㄴNo, it’s not!!!
– The Leader’s shield is incredibly strong. Whether they are from China, Japan, whatever—they’re an “Independence Fighter.”
– The most confident fox of Korea, damn right.
– They said they were reclusive!!! This is deception by an extrovert!!!
– Even an extrovert wouldn’t make outings like this, damn it!!!
-? Guys, a PV is up on Ichigo’s broadcast.
ㄴ? What is it?
ㄴNo, I watched it, but seriously, what is this?
Even after the 40-story Tower in Gimpo collapsed, Korea’s online community continued undisturbed.
The military was already deployed, wrapping up suppression efforts, while waiting reservists and climbers were merely posting complaints in the online communities.
While waiting for the incident to end quickly for the third day, not knowing when something might erupt again.
Wakamou Inarizushi, a name that no climber in Korea doesn’t know.
A mysterious PV was uploaded on the broadcast of Hajime Ichigo, whom she cherishes and raises like a daughter.
As some VTuber fans braced themselves beyond fear for another PTSD trigger, those who clicked on the pitch-black screen video titled Important Announcement! were met with confusion, astonishment, and a sense of disbelief and hilarity that this was real.
The video began with the somber tones of a woodwind instrument, followed by swelling strings as a monochrome, faded screen emerged.
“[The smallest country in Asia. This Land of the Morning Calm has fought against countless invasions over millennia.]”
Beginning with a narration in a famous voice everyone seems to have heard somewhere before.
From the Three Kingdoms period, through the Joseon era, to the Korean War.
Amid the repeated sadness of their land becoming a battlefield during invasions, the undeterred, unyielding generals and soldiers fight on as images flash by.
Then, showing a highly familiar VTuber waving the Taegeukgi high, leading people, believers erupted in laughter or asked, “What is this?”
As Wakamou energetically waved the Taegeukgi, preserving it in a museum with the Tower landscape above it.
“[And that has not changed even in modern times.]”
The screen showed dozens of flying drones, capturing scenes of Seoul utterly devastated by the Tower’s collapse and subsequent consecutive collapses.
Monsters lined up, and in the center of the collapsed Tower, bosses had nested outside, claiming it as their territory.
“[Even though she’s young, she’s an expert in survival. There’s no reason to doubt her skills.]”
Then, the voice of someone unfamiliar to the believers, Manager Wanda Haye, replaced the narration.
As the soldier’s uniform from the Korean War changed through time to modern day, with the sound of belts being fastened and firearms being armed, a group of four soldiers with firearms ready moved forward cautiously.
In their midst, holding a shield and a massive hammer, walked Wakamou Inarizushi.
Yet, it didn’t seem she was the leader.
Breaths echoed from the darkness, accompanied by the stealthy show of a gas mask and eyes opening to reveal red pupils on the screen, as Hajime Ichigo, dual-wielding firearms, joined the scene.
“[FOX team, do you copy? Commencing Operation 『Retake Seoul』. Good luck.]”
As the voice of Manager Wanda Haye resonated through the radio, the screen darkened.
Centralized, the words “Battlefield: Retake Seoul” emerged.
Ending with a concise clip promising more in the Apocalypse Survival Expert Hajime Ichigo’s membership broadcast!
The quality was so top-notch one could mistake it for a movie trailer, but friends, Ichigo’s fans, were equally bewildered by the content being a VTuber’s membership broadcast.
They’d casually subscribed, waiting after being told a membership broadcast might happen soon…. The scale—is this for real?
Once more, the community blazed with excitement.

[Title: Surviving is Proof of Strength]
Those surviving from Joseon’s gunpowder days will surely survive Korea’s corruption era.
The one evading Japanese matchlock guns with passing scholars.
Hajime Ichigo, whether descended from Cao Cao or Liu Bei, remains unknown.
The confluence of the Red and Blue teams for retaking Seoul is grandiose and overwhelming.
I was genuinely moved by the incredibly realistic quality.
Modern-day Metaverse advancements are truly exceptional!
How many 3D CG teams did they employ? Our Leader does have a substantial fortune.
They might even have Russia’s gold bars.
Or China’s imperial treasures.
-Include generals who lived before Cao Cao killed them all.
-For this time only, a temporary alliance it is, then.
-Perhaps quite a dangerous combo has been born here.
-Ichigo “It’s similar to Virtual Grab.”
ㄴThe part featuring the VTuber character is exactly the same.
ㄴIt’s a video aligning with the character concept, recognized here.
-At last, Korea has become a VTuber powerhouse.
-Wow, the realism is astounding!
ㄴIt feels like we truly could retake Seoul if the operation succeeds.
ㄴFor real LOL, suspiciously expert specialists conquering it LOL
ㄴRise, Captain. Korea is in peril.
ㄴCaptain Korea and Hawk China… My heart stirs.
ㄴAt least call it China Widow.
ㄴBut the heart…
ㄴYou’ve gone mad LOL
“Yep! Filming done!”
In the studio, Wakamou diligently altered the appearance of her clothes using [Mana Manipulation] during filming. She wondered if this was right. Normally, you’d wear equipment and film before adding CG on top.
Yet the two merely stood around, only changing their clothes. This made it seem like the VTuber model and reality were identical!!
Meanwhile, perhaps due to a large budget, the film crew was pleading with Wakamou to hire them again whenever she needed something shot.
Indeed, money can’t but solve problems.
Manager Wanda Haye assured there was enough profit if she wished to shoot more, raising a thumb-up.
‘Why does the dragon from Virtual Live suddenly come to mind…’
Corporate VTubers naturally participate in content formulated by the company. Accepting advertisements when offered is standard. From intricately planning schemes, producing shorts, original tunes, or even concerts, corporate ones receive overwhelming backing compared to individuals.
Hajime Ichigo’s original song is still in planning, so when precisely was this massive content prepared?
“My thoughts on corporate content were summer-special swimsuits…!!”
“Consider this as full 3D CG!! With today’s technology, it’s advanced to this extent!!”
Manager Wanda Haye had supplied chroma-key screens for CG and arranged a massive shooting studio, moving Wakamou to tears.
Yet none of it would be employed.
A truly apocalyptic Seoul backdrop and agents equipped like handling genuine weapons, executing a recapture project filming!
“Factoring editing, perhaps around 2-3 hours?”
Even during this, Manager Wanda Haye showed no indication of worrying about mission failure.
As Wakamou exhibited prowess akin to an invulnerable super being in the Towers, it made sense!! But this still isn’t the real situation, is it?
Eventually, Wakamou, ponderously deliberating, revealed her usable skill, [My Worlds].
“Let’s simply position it entirely as game content!”
Secure methods to transport supplies were lacking, along with shelters safe for resting!
“There are similar FPS games, right? Let’s frame it like progressing a game narrative. Agents, are you okay with emulating genuine gaming codenames?”
“Then call me Dogster.”
“How about Hoshino Luri?”
“Unicorn.”
“Just call me Chicopi”
Agents identically garbed, masking any identities—with cameras attached to their heads and bodies, including helmets—Manager Wanda Haye assured Wakamou the personnel were selected with the Association President’s recommendation, ensuring no fear of exposure.
Gosh, they genuinely resemble game characters!!
“By the way, why Unicorn?”
“Pia-chan will return someday…!!”
“You must be a Noble Pia VTuber fan…”
So, an uncle… Wakamou stopped prying. This place harbors sorrow…
Due to copyright, one was shortened to Luri. Meanwhile, subtly promoting a cute captain to Wakamou, she retorted nonverbally by showing merchandise.
It turns out they recruited all VTuber fans or individuals from online communities.
Where did they manage to find such talent…
“Alright, let’s get ready!”
Said Manager Wanda Haye, showcasing supplies Wakamou had anticipated transporting otherwise.
I’m not heading to a real war…?
Raising alarm beyond reserve-member PTSD, they threatened to transform her into an active soldier.
Turns out, not all corporate VTuber-related matters are delightful!!
At least it wasn’t a corporate exploiting them; hence Wakamou silently prepared her equipment.
※※※
“Is this really okay…?”
“A problem, perhaps? Does it resemble a coup? I’d find that disappointing. We’re merely devotedly aiding the president.”
The military sufficed against the collapsed Kimpo Tower crisis. To the young concerned congressman, the Association President pressed on, saying those worries were for naught.
“Finally, it’s your moment. Though you’ll be called FOX team, not the surveillance team.”
The Association President glanced toward the room containing four agents and Manager Wanda Haye.
“It’s unjustifiable that a mere Association President could supersede a duly elected president commanding control in a democracy—this isn’t a coup or forceful display. We act to retrieve Seoul.”
Thanks to the Kimpo Tower’s collapse, they had gathered forces toward Gochon, attempting to draw the attention of Seoul’s monsters with heavy bombardment. That was the plan—to seize their focus away there.
“Pass through Geumcheon District and strategize against the boss from the collapsed Tower in Gwanak District.”
By doing so, they could lure the Tower to emerge again and repel the monsters, allowing Seoul’s partial recapture.
Defeating the collapsed Tower’s monsters promises a Tower reemergence at a 100% rate.
──Regaining territory through such a process resulted from accumulated experience known by multiple countries. Killing the boss monster merely through bombardment ensures its revival. Ironically, only climbers can vanquish it for a Tower’s resurrection.
Disillusioned by the nation, many climbers who rallied to regain Seoul had left, ingraining a sorrowful memory in the Association President.
“A citizen opposing a mission to reclaim Seoul? They might call it risky. Nevertheless, it’s an inevitable task. Even the president can’t lord over the people…. We’re manipulating media into believing they endorse Wakamou.”
“…..”
Announcing that climber Wakamou was fighting to reclaim Seoul would be preferable. The Association President planned to ensure her VTuber pursuits were heeded. Politics could be conducted by astute players, as she had already fulfilled her role commendably.
“A president striving zealously for Seoul’s freedom, appealing for public backing. If, later on, it’s discovered they slain a national hero—an independence fighter—what then? Once her renown builds, how will congress members react learning the climber who recaptured Seoul was Wakamou…?”
A president persecuting her—a national independence fighter. Furthermore, a climber succeeding in Seoul’s reclamation?
Even President-leaning, Association President-loathing individuals would find little choice regarding whom to support.
‘Sinister…’
Understanding the Association President wouldn’t simply endure, the Manager doubted how to explain it to Wakamou. Anxiety-ridden, she sighed, realizing her difficulties in justification.
‘If termed a corporate-set content, they might not refuse…’
After skillfully maneuvering discussions, a begrudgingly contrived expression was borne by her, successfully orchestrating the endeavor.
However, Wanda Haye, the “Manager,” never ignored realizing that everything was purely for Ichigo.
Although the plan deviated considerably, success in this operation would simply identify them in the news as a “climber of unknown identity.”
Everyone knows their identity, though claiming “it’s mere VTuber content” refutes its reality!
The political clash over climber Wakamou between the President and the Association President escalated unexpectedly.
Even reclaiming Seoul, everything hinges on the mission’s success for a fluid resolution.
Even if it’s a recapture, this mission must succeed for everything to go smoothly.
“It’s no different than the Association President putting his neck on the line on the gambling table.”
The surveillance team members were not climbers, but they were trained soldiers.
Even if necessary, in the end, it’s a situation where the truth has been recklessly used by personal armed forces!!
On top of that, if by any chance a monster from Seoul crosses over to Incheon…..
“I really hope Mr. Wakamou doesn’t get angry….”
In reality, the Climbing Association was practically pushing her into a battlefield.
Hidden behind the guise of national interest, for the sake of her, without even telling her!!
“I have no choice. I’ll have to take special measures…!!”
*
“[FOX Team, are you listening? We will commence Operation ‘Seoul Recapture.’ Good luck.]”
“Ugh~ Being a VTuber is tough~”
Yeah, isn’t it said they’re locked in a basement signing hundreds of autographs somewhere? A VTuber can certainly do the infiltration mission into Seoul riding a military helicopter, no doubt.
Contrary to Wanda Haye’s worries, Wakamou was actually regretting it, thinking they were trusting him with this because he had displayed such overwhelming force.
Cowering and mumbling, “I’m actually weak, can’t I not do something like this…?” would hurt a VTuber’s pride.
If you’re told to do it, you have to do it! Never withdraw in front of content!!
It was definitely not because Manager Wanda Haye promised to buy a figure for him. The followers believed that Wakamou’s words were trustworthy.
Despite hearing, “You’re risking the entire mission for a mere figure?”, in reality, it was a limited edition pink shrine maiden figure from the early days….. that’s just how precious it was…..
“If news like ‘Mysterious Climber Succeeds in Recapturing Seoul!’ goes up, the followers will tease me again.”
Determined to reveal a little secret to ensure none of the following agents needlessly die, Wakamou was very nervous.
But all he could worry about was whether he would ruin Liu Ying’s first members-only broadcast because of him.
“Apparently, it’s such a popular game that you’re afraid, right? That company that made R*je is making this god-tier game too.”
“They’re the same company, mister.”
“[PUBG : Battlegrounds of the Players] better be wary. Korea is releasing another battlefield God-tier game. FPS really is the best. Is this what they call the S*rgeon Attack 2 or something?”
“Anyhow, do well. I’m a newbie at this game.”
Content begins without a script. Contrary to worries, the 4 supporting agents seemed to fit the concept of gamers playing the game better than expected and chatted away. Across from them sat Hajime Ichigo and Wakamou Inarizushi. By anyone’s eyes, they looked like experts who had been playing the game for a long time with their skins on.
“From here on is Seoul! Wish us luck!”
As soon as they disembarked from the landing helicopter, they saw the border of the Gwanak District of Seoul.
In front of them lay an unobservable boundary drawn by a corroding field that seemed like CG treatment.
The scene seemed to say that beyond this point lies a twisted domain caused by tower collapse, where Seoul, left unattended for 10 years after failing initial suppression, now turned into a true abyss.
“[Introducing the FOX team’s target. The objective is the 50th-floor tower in Seoul. It involves defeating the ‘King Triple Head Ogre’ residing in the collapsed tower located in Gwanak District.]”
“Yes.”
A communication screen appeared before Leader Hajime Ichigo. Like something out of a game or an SF movie, a hologram popped out, and on that screen, Manager Wanda Haye, dressed in military attire, was communicating with Hajime. Having no knowledge about the military, her response was endearing, making the agents chuckle.
“[Hajime Ichigo. We’ll navigate you to the boss via the shortest route possible. We can supply you at each stronghold along the way. The positions of the strongholds will be marked.]”
A map appeared for everyone gathered there. It showed the locations of strongholds and the boss enemy, along with the boss’s picture.
In real-time, Wakamou demonstrated via the internet connection synchronized with [Idol’s Form], making the need for a 3D CG team unnecessary thanks to his remarkable ability. Was he truly a Clipper?
“Wow.”
With a gesture of lowering his palm, light fell, indicating where to proceed.
Continuous familiar productions made it seem like they were genuinely playing a virtual reality game!
“Let’s go, shall we? Um, is there heavy snow here?”
“Mister, you haven’t played games much, have you?”
“Where can I get the pretty girl skin?”
“Now, everyone. Let’s listen to Lady Hajime’s orders. Shall we depart?”
Despite the extravagant dialogue delivered by the fully armored crew, their presence alongside the overwhelming Fox Deity drew no undue attention.
Wooooo──
[You have entered the realm where the collapsed tower exists!]
[The erosion level is high, posing the highest degree of danger!]
[Entering the [Tower] in this zone is not allowed!]
As soon as they entered, various warning windows appeared. Wakamou, wielding a hammer and shield in front, led the way. Speaking peculiarly, yet centered around Ichigo, the four agents guarded simultaneously around the perimeter, ensuring security.
“Now that you mention Gwanak District, it reminds me, there’s a great tripe restaurant I like near here.”
“What, are we going to have a meetup there, Mister? Let’s focus.”
“Guys, let’s clear this, I need to watch Night Young Lady’s stream tonight…?”
“The loading is so fast, there’s no smoke break time.”
Wouldn’t this be called collective monologue? Utterly talking amongst themselves like real gamers playing a game, they moved onwards.
Since they were outside the tower, a drone was recording, and at the same time, it was being recorded with Wakamou’s camera. During which, Manager Wanda Haye was debriefing Ichigo in real-time. The earpiece in her ear ended with saying she didn’t have to reply, and Ichigo tossed it away.
“Here they come!!”
The moment her words ended, monsters swarmed in from all directions, smelling human scent. Starting from green skin and including humanoid monsters, they attacked humans exclusively without fighting among themselves.
While they formed forces, they never fought amongst themselves, only aiming to kill humans. It was a spectacular sight to see them rush through four open directions, buildings, and manhole covers, pouring out from beneath.
Captured from above by cameras, what unfolded was the monstrous assault swarming the entire Gwanak District!!
“I think I saw this in W*rhammer!!”
“Isn’t it that zombie game, World War or something?! It’s amazing there’s no lag!! The earth server is excellent!!”
“Today, there’s a Captain stream schedule, so let’s finish quickly!!”
“Just curious, is that Captain by any chance the admiral of the Space Pirate Kemono Pirate Crew?!?”
“It’s a manta ray!! Fox guy!!”
To the extent it wasn’t necessary to aim, bullets poured everywhere at the ominous crowd of monsters charging over piles of their comrades’ corpses; the pressure was considerable.
Facing them, Ichigo threw a potion bottle from her waist, creating an ice wall to trap the monsters, and upon tossing another potion bottle forward, shot it with her pistol, causing a booming explosion and sparks.
Supposedly containing white phosphorus, the flames didn’t subside, and spread to the monsters with fierce intensity until they were completely incinerated, thanks to the substantial support of the [Alchemist] who climbed to the 20th level!!
“Huup─!!”
As Wakamou ran to punt a car parked near the subway entrance like a soccer ball, indicating with a finger to enter, the group rushed in. Just before entry, Wakamou chucked the fallen car towards the monsters, while Ichigo, waiting by her side, threw a potion bottle like a dagger.
And a flash ensued.
Ichigo sporting goggles and Wakamou unaffected by the flash followed inside, and the group dashed through the chaotic subway, lighting up the inner dark passageway headlights.
Since it was too dark to see, as Wakamou conjured a light source, the once gloomy subway became brightly illuminated as if lit up from within.
“Indeed, great items as expected from veterans!”
“At what level does that skill unlock!”
While running, agents delivered professional banter without missing their marks. During which, one agent got snatched up by tendrils emerging from a crack in the ceiling.
“Uwaaah!!”
“Living sacrifice!”
“Let him be; it’s a natural death!!”
They lost one agent in an instant, but no one panicked.
Continuing to shoot down monsters crowded in the subway station, they sprinted nonstop towards the rail track where trains used to traverse.
“Warning, burrower incoming!”
No sooner did they touch the tracks than Ichigo perked up her ears, warning them as burrowers lunged from the darkness, bashing them with the shields. But amidst the chaos, one burrower’s strike actually penetrated an agent’s solid steel shield.
“The shield! The shield’s breaking!”
One agent, fighting a burrower with a gun, shouted to Ichigo with a visibly cracked shield in plain sight.
“Guys!! Breath attack!! Dodge!!!”
Above the tracks on the ceiling, a lizard-shaped something opened its maw, releasing a torrent of flames. The agent who gave the warning rolled the opposite direction alone, and as the distance grew, Ichigo yelled at the agents to move.
The volume of monsters was higher than expected. Enveloped in a dire situation where the monstrous wave seemed endless despite being gunned down rapidly.
“Huup!!”
With a large swing, wildly driving away the waves of charging monsters, Wakamou bought them time.
In a seemingly escape-proof situation, Ichigo kicked open a steel door and rushed in. Two agents accompanied her to buy Wakamou some time to catch up, providing cover until the three made it inside. As the closing door slammed shut, the monsters launched at it.
Crash!!
The darkness engulfed them as the shattered door broke and fell apart.
And silence flowed over everything.
Nothing existed inside.
*
“Safe Team extraction complete.”
Under different circumstances, more manpower would have been deployed─but for the sake of production, it was better to have fewer. The two rescued agents nonchalantly exchanged into intact gear.
Via cameras attached to each agent, Wakamou opened a portal to which the standby rescue team responded, making a retrieval operation.
Wakamou, is he seriously too dangerous and reckless…? Worries surfaced, but hoping he wouldn’t actually get them killed…decided to trust him…since only Wakamou would remain oblivious! To the fact that all the agents deployed on the mission were prepared to die!
What awaited beyond the stronghold’s gate was a portal neatly opened by Wakamou at the right time.
The departing monsters were confirmed by the cameras left behind as Wakamou disabled the [Skill].
“Everyone, we will start filming. Please take your positions.”
The scenery was bewitchingly beautiful in the mansion’s front yard. The supply materials were tactfully excluded from the frame.
“Ugh, what if you lower my rank, Mister?”
“But didn’t you survive thanks to the breath warning? We made it to the stronghold, so have a drink.”
“Leader scared of party blowing up, major props LOL”
“What? What did this guy just say…!!”
Laughing and bantering, fully armed agents unapologetically sipping tea around a tea table. Despite their nonchalant attitudes, agents gathered with death-defying resolve were professionally executing their roles to the best of their abilities.
“Mm~ Drinking this tea makes me feel like a young lady.”
One agent lifted his little finger daintily, drinking from the cup without even removing their helm, pouring tea into his face.
Another randomly sat and stood in the corner.
Someone shook and wiggled with just their upper body holding a gun.
Others snapped photos of Wakamou and Hajime lying side-by-side.
An operational site bereft of any tension…!!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Manager Wanda Haye was reassessing the operation considering the unexpectedly high number of monsters. Additionally, information on previously unseen monster appearances was being investigated. The rescue team checked the agents alongside providing supplies and changing their equipment.
There was no issue, with ample supplies stacked in the yard like it was genuinely a game, even while using bullets as if they were water.
“Changing agents to climbers might be better….”
“That’s certainly good, but in that case, there are issues like….”
Leaving the bustling operational team engrossed in revising the plan behind.
“So, we should watch the indie VTuber space cat pirate, right?”
“Oh, indie. Let’s clip it.”
“But seeing this, how do we answer if they ask why Seoul wasn’t recaptured till now?”
“They say bomb the monsters away and have climbers take the boss afterwards? Easier said than done…. Trained soldiers clear the path and tactical bomb the Association President, has been suggested before!”
“While climbers are precious and all with the Human Rights Protection Committee or something. Still, the government, do they even know how to do their jobs or what. It’s understandable that safety is paramount due to climbers’ restoration efforts, but…”
“Leader, want some snacks?”
“SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMHEwbCt1emxVMk8zcE5RUUxYOXA5eA
“Nom nom”
“Ooh, look at the cuteness.”
Team FOX chatting away as though they were on a picnic.
Wakamou was busy being introduced to indie VTubers and watching streams, Ichigo was enjoying snacks, and some agents grumbled while seated on the floor: even if there’s no climber, couldn’t we deploy trained soldiers, how they were musing.
Truly, there were myriad reasons but, summed up in one line, the government simply can’t get the job done. That was all there was.
The risk could not be ignored, but they also couldn’t leave things as they were indefinitely.
So everyone present was staking their lives. Though they didn’t share with Wakamou or Hajime, backup agents prepared for cases of accidental deaths were integrated within the rescue team.
Once the armament checks concluded, soldiers adorned in exceedingly elaborate full body armor and efficient firepower to generously expend stood before the portal Wakamou opened.
“Everyone ready? Shall we?”
“Nie… understood!”
“Finally, it has come.”
“Uncle, what’s your age, by chance?”
“This game, did Novelpia actually make it? Wish they invested in novels instead…”
“I resent Novelpia for making my precious Novel and Pia retire… invest in VTubers!!!”
“I heard they have reincarnated.”
“Don’t want to hear it, such truth!!!
Shouting their VTuber-induced frustrations and beginning with Wakamou’s entry with a shield, agents moved forward.
As they lit the collapsed iron gate, Chapter 2 began.
Marching forward into the track illuminated by pitch dark unknowable shadows, the party disappeared into the darkness.
