You could say that Oyama Sadako’s life was a series of failures.
Accidentally, due to her father’s fame, she ended up learning karate, which was fine.
She heard comments about not being ladylike and lacking the elegance of Kyoto, but it didn’t matter.
Her father’s title of master… To a little girl like her, it seemed cool.
Then the tower appeared, climbers emerged, and she, too, became one by following her father.
Of course, her father hoped his daughter wouldn’t go to dangerous places, so he trained her harshly to make her quit. But alas, maybe because they shared the same blood?
She finally entered the tower.
And she succeeded in conquering the 30th-floor tower in Osaka.
Small compared to her father’s achievements, but still competitive.
Yet, despite her father’s fame, her dojo was in decline, making his title of King of Authority seem hollow.
Her brother, who was an otaku, suddenly announced, “Miko will leave to find Master!” and became a creature she never wanted to meet again.
The memory of opening the door to see her brother dancing with a meowing sound remains a dreadful nightmare.
Even if he was ashamed of it and said he’d die if caught by their father, he managed to succeed as an adult by leaving home.
Why is life so difficult?
Her brother was free, chosen as a climber without the burden, living freely. That lazy brother was an otaku who hadn’t even learned karate!
Sadako, compared to her father’s achievements and with her otaku brother out being a VTuber, decided to aim for a civil servant job.
Thinking it impossible to succeed like her father.
Her class was a [Wizard], and the [Shaman] faction was filled with stubborn old-timers she disliked. She didn’t want to bow to those who called her father a brutish gorilla!
Then came an unexpected opportunity.
“Fox Deity Wakamou…”
She knew. He revived her father’s dojo and destroyed the Shaman Association.
They said he was a messenger of the true Inari god. Maybe she could learn real [magic] under him.
A lifetime’s chance that wouldn’t come again…!!
The thought of doing a VTuber gig was burdensome, but she believed in herself.
At 20, entering society.
It felt like landing a government-supported job.
Kind of like being a civil servant!! With backing from the Japanese government and the Association President, she packed her bags for a flight to South Korea with dreams in her heart.
“Oyama Sadako… now becomes a VTuber…!!”
She pondered on the concept, drawing in viewers.
How to become friends with Wakamou and learn magic.
She planned, thinking about the future.
Worried if she’d handle a foreign country, but knowing the language was less of a problem with translators, she touched down in South Korea.
“Are you confident?”
Manager Wanda Haye’s question. Oyama Sadako nodded, believing she was.
Isn’t it just like what her brother does?
“Alright, let’s do it.”
*
– Is it revealed soon?
– What kind of maniac will the new VTuber from Wakamou Corporation be?
– I heard it’s someone coming from Japan.
– Managed by the manager directly…
– Curious if a Unicorn debuts?
– A VTuber is one who stirs up drama when streaming with men, isn’t it?
– Hey leader, make some comment.
“More joy has been added…”
“Commander says, byoungsung seungkaba gyaangeh… we’re out of turns.”
Ichigo’s eyes narrowed, leaning from side to side, and her friends’ chat messages rolled up.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Indeed, Hawk China.
-Avengers assembled after knowing the members.
-Is Ironman finally coming?
-The Japanese Spider is a bit toxic ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Everyone was in a festive mood! Even Wakamou and Ichigo had no prior knowledge and were simply waiting for the debut broadcast. But it wasn’t as if Wakamou did nothing.
“Listen up, Manager. Our Märchen princess also plans to make a personal homepage for introductions! We need an introduction site if the number of VTubers increases! Rules there can be made and referenced─”
“Yes, yes”
“And for the fan cafe, no need to divide too many. Rename it to Wakamou Corporation, make separate boards for each VTuber, and a VTuber introduction board for promotions─”
“Yes, yes.”
“For the introduction broadcast, we shouldn’t pressure too much, keep it relaxed and not burdensome. Scripts can be helpful, but since you brought them, I won’t worry about capabilities. What’s important for broadcasts is the visible screen, so use this chat window and background, and PPT is essential─”
“Eek.. Ugh…”
Wanda Haye, who got caught up, would be fine after hearing this and spending around 13 hours getting a detailed explanation for the VTuber broadcast. Also shared clips from 100 VTuber debut broadcasts, detailing this and that, even showing a cute chick playing the recorder and subtly promoting it.
So, no problem.
Besides, since she’s coming from Japan, a stronghold of virtual worlds, she could even be more professional than Wakamou!!
‘She might have been employed by a large corporation in her past life!’
If Wanda Haye manager knew this, she might regret not revealing who it was. But she had no chance amidst the chaos of needing clips and calming Wakamou after announcing a new VTuber would join, only delivering the fact that she was coming from Japan.
─♩♬
Gentle BGM filled the air along with a blue screen.
And then a girl with a silly expression appeared. Wearing a naval officer hat and an outfit mixing naval uniforms and sailor suits, this girl didn’t even introduce herself.
After the broadcast started, a minute of silence passed.
-?
-Is it muted?
-New concept of a mute VTuber.
-Why is the chat window in the middle huhuㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Was this a public execution scene??
The chat window filled the middle of the screen, while the VTuber who should introduce herself was just tucked away in the corner, staring into space.
“Heh”
“When does this broadcast start?”
-?
-?
-?
-?
-?
“?”
“?”
Five minutes into the broadcast, the first words emerged, and Wakamou slapped his forehead.
Ichigo, seeing this, pulled out a gun asset, and when Wakamou pressed it back with his hand, viewers burst into laughter. It might have been better not knowing if it was pulled out not just in 3D modeling but reality, too.
The debut broadcast encountered an epic fail.
Then came banging sounds as if a manager was behind, hitting something.
Consequently, the eyes of the VTuber character who was staring at the screen twirled, giving a loud keyboard typing sound.
And click.
The broadcast ended.
– Well, the show was fun.
– What a fun debut broadcast.
– What’s next on the agenda, leader?
– Hahaha, so who are you indeed?
– Ah, didn’t realize the hunter exam had already begun?
– Do you not know the [True Name]? You’re disqualified.
– They sure brought an interesting young lady.
“Waaaahhhh!!!!”
-Keek!! A sudden sonic attack!!!
-Stop it now!!!!
-Owner risk disaster incoming!!!!
-So where did you even get that thing?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I heard it was imported from Japan.
-Wow~ The Japanese navy is something extraordinary~
-Sp Are you suggesting this isn’t a pirate thing??
Squeak─
“Minna Clipper. Wakamou Corporation’s naval Mare Pirate-chan!”
-Debut broadcast round 3 kicking off.
-Huh.. Have we..? Time rewinded..?
-Ah…I see…we’ve safeguarded it…
-We’re not stuck in a loop, right?
Clack, hiss─
-?
-Drinking something?
-What sound is that?
“Huh? Ah, it was just a hand tremble…some beer… Whew… Cheers! Without beer, I’ll just flip out”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh hey, crazy Japanese person, welcomeㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Is this alright though!!!!
-What kind of beer do you drink??
“Huh? What beer do you like? I like all alcohol, but started with 2 bottles of soju!!”
-?
-?
-Settled she wasn’t sober.
-I also thought…she was sane…
-Whew…is it a relief…or…
“Okay─!! Sailors! I’ll sing! Please listen!! It’s a trendy Korean song in Japan!!”
-If it’s not rude, what’s the title?
-I feel uneasy, but must find out, is it right?
-Why am I getting scared unknowingly….
-No way, this broadcast is very risky.
“Do you know Ajussi Arigato (Thank You, Uncle)? They say it’s Korean.”
-Japanese song, though.
-Unfamiliar song, in fact.
-No, don’t sing. Really, don’t!!
“Hurray! Feeling thrilled! Singing and dancing, I’m the Captain─!!”
During the introduction broadcast, Pirate began singing and dancing. Viewers tried to stop her, but she was lost in her enthusiasm, belting out till her voice strained and lifting a beer can high.
“Ah, let me finish this drink first. Whew─ finished. Need a new can”
-Sing, drink and dance. This is a pirate’s life.
-Why is no one stopping this? Is this alright?
-a VTuber from the motherland feels like this.
-Oh, by the way, Captain. Do you like manga?
“Huh? It looks like something a nerd would watch; don’t see them.”
Bop.
The broadcast ended.
A message on the screen encouraged support for Mare Pirate’s broadcasts in the future.
“Ahahahahahaha!!!!!”
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjM210QzNlMEZlMVdkUzgrY3lRV0p2MA
Wakamou couldn’t help but roar with laughter.
Celebrating the raw talent with clapping hands and tear-streaked cheeks, Wakamou felt glee. Indeed, isn’t it nice for a VTuber to exhibit such flair! Even though Liu Ying always took care and dedicated herself to broadcasts, something was lacking.
Meanwhile, Wakamou exudes a charismatic leader vibe. No intentional image, yet having such a character isn’t bad.
The manager seemed to have brought in the real deal.
“With all three gathered, should we plan a collaborative game session…”
[Build Craft] might be the most famous, right?
While booting up Steam, considering a game to play, Wakamou found a gift in his inbox.
A gift from the Märchen Queen, thanking him for the clips!!
“Oh my! The Queen has sent me a gift pack!”
Zombie survival instantly emerged upon opening, and Wakamou lamented, re-sealing the gift pack.
Sending horror games while not playing them—not my fate!
The citizens likely suggested this to the Queen as a good gift before sending it his way.
Seeing her innocent smile while asking, “What kind of game is this?” as she sent it over…!
“The Queen has bestowed a horror game upon me!! Whence her highness declares my need moot, how should I live!!”
This is, of course, a jest. Wakamou had already braced to challenge any horror game presented to him by VTubers.
Could be apt for collaboration?
A well-known zombie survival multiplayer game called [Project Apocalypse].
“Plenty of clips will ensue, indeed.”
With firearms included, Wakamou watched the Queen’s FPS game broadcast.
He’d outperform, no doubt…!!
