[Title: So what did the leader say?]
What’s Puga Kamino? I’m curious.
Everyone seems to know.
– There’s this hit called Spinning Bound Revolution.
– That guy’s just an average joe, not the strongest of the Heian era.
– The only real modern-day shaman is the leader.
– What? Are you a newcomer?
ㄴNope…came to see the famous climber boosting our nation’s reputation…
ㄴAuthor, how old are you? Don’t you watch anime?
ㄴI’m watching the latest anime…
ㄴWhat are you watching?
ㄴRanma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura?
ㄴI heard ToHeart game is coming out too.
ㄴDragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai is a new anime too.
ㄴOh, you know the legendary new game Tsukihime!
ㄴThe trends are targeting old otakus.
ㄴBack to idol worship after all the cycles, huh?
ㄴIt’s spinning too much, damn it lol
– If the leader returns to idol worship after seeing VTuber fanatics, that’s cute.

[Title: What on earth, Captain, why did you become a VTuber?]
Becoming a fox from a wolf wasn’t enough, now a VTuber!!
(Fox Deity summoning a giant meme)
Seriously, what is this all about? What kind of skill is this?
Is this really shamanism?
Is it like summoning with Kusanagi’s Sword…?
Was Eulji Mundeok actually the leader?
– Why not use Ryoiki Tenkai?
– Isn’t this fox Uchiha or something?
ㄴThat’s the Bankai of the Gotei 13 captain.
– What’s the fox’s true identity?
– Crap, it’s the secret Bankai of the three sword techniques.
– A fox using wolf techniques.
– Isn’t this just a divine being?
– The captain carrying Ichigo… Ah! Seoul Society exists!
– The best way to counter domain is to deploy our own domain…
– How does the technique name “Valiant Guardian God General” even work? lol
– How is this much Susanoo without chakra…?
– But what’s this Uchiha… and Bankai?
ㄴWhat…? Haven’t seen it? Don’t know One, Naru, Bleach…?
ㄴDude…it’s been over 20 years since One, Naru, Bleach….
ㄴThere’s hope left in our future generation to handle our pensions!
ㄴIsn’t it doomed if there’s hope in the gallery?
ㄴGet out of here now!!

[Title: Let’s see the leader’s quotes]
“It seems the difficulty has gotten easier because I’m in a non-combat role.”
“I’m worried people might think reaching Complete Strategy Layer is too easy.”
“Our party isn’t in a combat role, so the achievement conditions are easier.”
If you don’t get it, just thumbs up lol
-“I’m not in a combat role” Really?
ㄴThey say it’s a non-combat job.
ㄴWhat’s wrong with using weapons and shamanism you know already?
ㄴFor real lol using whatever you’re familiar with lol
ㄴLike item dependency… or is it skill dependency…?
– Clearly an alchemist, carrying sandbags named Laughing Bell.
– You… take that back…!!
– But technically, the reaching conditions do ease or harden depending on your role.
– But doesn’t the leader bring out boss-tier level enemies from other layers? Is it really easy?
ㄴWell, isn’t it at least easier than fighting 10,000 people in the Three Kingdoms era?
ㄴHow does the leader fighting Heian era onmyoji look like a joke?
ㄴIt’s easy for the leader. More like a performance issue on what to showcase.
– Better to worry about VTuber broadcasts than climbing the tower if you’re the leader lol
Whenever climbing the tower, Wakamou puts on performances that excite viewers every time. She focused more on young newcomers asking “What’s this?” rather than the hot fervor of old believers.
They say it’s called a generation gap… stretchers saying to go with Laxtel instead of the current ToX bus.
Even though access to animation has become easier, there’s not enough incentive for people to spend money to watch it…. Even otakus are losing their fervor.
The believers are grateful that our Fox Deity does all they ask for, and they’re happy about it.
Newcomers attracted by Wakamou as a VTuber ask “What’s that?” purely out of curiosity. It would be nice to explain everything, but doing so would fill the broadcast with complaints… Like watching anime together, viewers eventually have to look for and pay to watch it, which is problematic.
Honestly, eight-tenths would probably just watch it illegally, but we can only pray for the believers’ conscience.
Today, diligently editing Ichigo and Pirate’s broadcasts and planning for when she receives the Silver Button from YouTube─ Wakamou busily checked her schedules and timetables, even monitoring reactions from overseas.
There were quite a few Japanese who were uncomfortable or displeased with Mare Pirate gaining traction in Korea. Some even came to where she was broadcasting to cause trouble, but thanks to Pirate’s strong mentality, it wasn’t much of a problem.
Rather, she publicly executed the nuisances in front of the viewers.
“Guys! A guest is stepping up on the plank! Today’s shark bait is ready!!!”
-“Gentle Japanese folks.”
-Non-crew members have no rights.
-Are we really in the Navy?
-Anyone who picks a fight with the Navy is declared a pirate, right?
-Pirate’s room rules: Everything that challenges is evil!!!
-Going crazy, damn it lol
-Yamero!! Yamero!!
Since her name is openly revealed at Incheon Tower, nobody’s unaware that the warlord’s daughter is in Korea.
Japan’s government and association are supporting Pirate, so there are no major issues.
Wakamou, with even plans to collaborate and visit Kyoto, was reviewing going up to the 20th floor.
Anyway, is there any point in trying to drag down Pirate, who is backed by such power?
In the community, it was satisfying to see the complete extinction of the “Fistful Faction,” and people were mocking and ridiculing them fully.
Come to think of it, they were once introduced as a team with their manager being a dedicated attorney. They say they’re working hard every day, but I wasn’t keen on what exactly they’re doing.
The manager ordered not to let Wakamou say anything about wanting to leave for Japan due to discomfort.
‘Pirate’s gaining fame, and the story’s even spreading in Japan.’
A Japanese VTuber who seized five Complete Strategy Layers in Korea.
She became famous for conquering the Osaka Tower before, but now that she debuted as a VTuber, the surprise was even greater.
Japan, having more otakus, saw parody fan art of straw hat pirate crews or elemental ability users fused with Pirate.
Wakamou, cherishing each piece, showed them in a single video.
Using clips from before, it was a broadcast by a Japanese VTuber.
With his busy handwork, Wakamou was adding subtitles.
The clip was of none other than Pirate’s own VTuber broadcast.
※※※
“Nangnangbi! A virtual cat from space! Hoshineko nya”
The cat character with striking orange fur, reminiscent of a mascot from a magic girl’s cartoon, waved to the viewers filling the screen.
With as much as 40,000 subscribers, this furry genre VTuber casually minimized her character’s size and positioned it at the corner of the screen as she started talking.
Speaking with a cute girl’s voice, you could easily tell from her adorable cat persona that she was a dedicated professional VTuber in this field.
Even mentioning buying a fursuit from China, she declared she would wear it and go to Comiket, unfazed by the hot weather.
“My Little Pony’s Pinkie isn’t even a horse, I swear!! Not until Renamon is it an abnormal attraction. What? There’s a bald guy doing furry in Korea? I’d love to see it, can you link it? Oh, cute.”
Chatting cheerfully with the viewers, she mentioned knowing recent trending VTubers, uttering her name.
“Wakamou, Wakamou. I know, but she’s not a furry, okay? She’s genuinely a fox deity but, you know… Is there at least a furry mode other than the genuinely fluffy 100% fox look?”
Ting—
“Or you’ll get struck by lightning. Hello hello. Presenting the public execution in Korea, here’s me www. Adult game One Piece, really? That’s harsh.”
And soon, beside the cat character, emerged a twin-tailed busty schoolgirl with cat ears and wearing bloomers, bursting into laughter with a voice seemingly altered by voice changer.
This bamified character was none other than Sadako… Pirate’s older brother VTuber.
“I mean, isn’t it downright freaky? Drawing erotic comics with your own character… doing ASMR… creating strange fetishes… It’s like some passionate flame cartoon authors TS-ify their actual assistants… Stop it. It’s a buzzkill?”
“It’ll get cold.”
“The person you’re attracted to is a man in his 30s! Whehehe!!”
Hoshineko made a disgusted face at the female character who was rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue.
“So your little sister debuted as a VTuber too? Climbers can’t hide that red pill; it’s fatal… Anyway, I really want to collaborate with the real furry Fox Deity. Do you know why collaborations outside are banned, mister?”
“My sister said. She can’t stand it because other VTubers are so noble. There was a joke about Biggodmyong laughing about a Kyoto collaboration saying, ‘It’s not a fox, it’s a wolf,’ and apparently, they wanted to commit seppuku.”
“Is that true? That’s insane.”
“Aren’t VTubers modern-day idols? Whatever. My sister hasn’t even watched One Piece, but she has so much talent that I laughed. She surpassed her brother’s subscribers, you know? www.”
“You can’t beat a real woman. At least be cute like a cat, like me.”
“Seems like you feel competitive with Longlong-chan from the latest second and third generation.”
“Correction, I’m aroused!!! You old geezer!!”
As people one by one with distinctive peculiar sexual interests began entering the Discord, from an old man passionate about Burmyuk to a young lady obsessed with furries. They started chatting while preparing for a Mafia game. As they checked the video, Wakamou, from the Wakamou Corporation, took a moment to double-check the reactions from the Japanese side.
The biggest reaction was that the brother and sister were alike.
“It seems Japanese viewers are also watching because the language is normal through the Climber. It’s good to see a positive reaction.”
Moreover, Hajime Ichigo has somehow reached 130,000 subscribers, and Mare Pirate, despite having just started, has hit 110,000.
They both applied for the Silver Button from YouTube.
Perhaps those are Japanese viewers supporting Pirate.
“Happy about it, but part of it feels bitter.”
Wakamou has been diligently posting clips of various VTubers on his channel regularly.
Despite streaming longer than Wakamou, many VTubers have less than 40,000 subscribers, and he wonders if it’s okay to succeed this easily.
Though knowing he shouldn’t think this way, it was always a burden on Wakamou’s mind.
“…..”
After finishing the day’s work, leaning back in his chair, Wakamou finally exhaled deeply, realizing this moment he awaited had come.
Usually, he would have turned on the VTuber Broadcast right away… But today, as the president, he had to be serious for the long-awaited moment and pray for things to go well.
Hajime Ichigo’s original song was releasing today.
Like the pirate cosplay captain who invested to create an original song every year to give back the love received from fans… Wakamou, who had money, had invested heavily to produce an MV with full animation. He didn’t play any instruments despite wanting to write lyrics for Liu Ying’s desire and stay cold to VTuber Broadcasts at night.
Probably, considering the money spent versus the recovery cost, he’ll see a loss.
Still, it doesn’t matter at all…!!
The first original song of the VTuber I nurtured… I might die from happiness!
The song titled “Blooming Smile” is filled with lyrics that, with a soft, gentle, cute, and lovely voice, encourage people to live bravely today filled with warm emotions. A heartwarming song with a story of someone who keeps smiling and doesn’t give up, eventually finding happiness coming into a bright place, unfitting for a video of surviving alone in ruins and monsters roaming around.
At the scheduled time, the countdown started; Wakamou, with fear that felt like his heart might collapse, fixed his eyes on the real-time comments as the song began.
“Captain, are you going to dive into the monitor…?”
Completely burying his face into the monitor, Wakamou watched intently.
Next to him, Sadako and Liu Ying, embarrassed by the fact that over ten thousand watched the song she wrote, were just as focused on the reactions as Wakamou.
Everyone agreed that it was healing, warm, that the character and voice didn’t match… The combined response was good! It was okay!!
The Wakamou Corporation’s first original song was a moderate success!!
“Good thing I blew 200 million!”
Isn’t Wakamou practically supporting the South Korean animation industry?
Now, as the song reviews unfold in the comments and other VTubers see and feel the reactions… Wakamou was eager not to miss a single thing as he wildly wagged his tail while watching, when suddenly, a manager burst through the door urgently, asking him to check what’s trending first.
“Our Liu Ying is already trending number one!!!”
“…Why is Liu Ying trending number one?”
Too excited, he leapt with joy seeing Liu Ying on the trending but only for a moment.
With Sadako’s sharp point, Wakamou froze like a stone and looked back at her, asking, really?
“….Whew….So… An artifact-level item known as ‘The Sword of the King of Han Dynasty’ emerged in China. Although it appeared six months ago… In relation to it, China sought, with the help of [Wizard], to locate a suitable climber capable of wielding it to counter [Collector]. But…”
“That’s even possible?”
“While the procedure is complex, sometimes they seek the help of navigation-type Wizard within the national limit to use or locate items restricted by occupation or specific conditions. Anyway… they had to limit it to China, but… there was only one person.”
“In China?”
“In South Korea.”
“…?”
“So the condition… is possessing royal blood or being a descendant of the king of the Shu Han… there’s an absurd constraint… And in South Korea, just one climber satisfies these conditions.”
Manager Wanda Haye tried her best, but there was no hiding the fact that a naturalized Chinese with the surname Liu was involved.
Unfortunately, a climber satisfying the conditions was not in China but in South Korea, leading to an absurd situation.
Upon hearing that, even Liu Ying cast a knowing glance at Wakamou.
Yet no one dared to speak.
The magic Wakamou emitted, visibly angry enough to make their hair stand, made it hard to even stay standing.
“Those damned Chinese bastards leaked our VTuber’s personal information?! I’m gonna kill ’em all!!!!”
“Dalki, please calm down!!”
“Not Dalki!!”
“Aren’t you…?”
Why did an incident occur right when the original song was announced?
The viewer comments Wakamou looked forward to were now overwhelmed by comments speculating on the incident, discussing nationwide treasures, and viewers who weren’t even regulars flocking to related VTuber’s latest videos.
“Everyone…”
“Yes?”
“Wakamou is heading to China right now…”
With the rewards obtained through the 30th Floor…
Even if they’re Chinese climbers, he could crush them…
Yeah, the [Collector], that villain is bad.
The lousy rewards from the tower are that guy’s fault too─!!!
