Chapter 74

“This isn’t the Buildcraft I imagined!!!”

“If you want peace, seize it!! Devour to become stronger!!!”

“Why is it so hardcore!!”

“The viewers want dopamine! Asuka has done her best as per Mr. Wakamou’s request to make the broadcast entertaining!”

“So, yeah!! Let’s all gather and do something! I’m scared alone!!”

Wakamou clings to Asuka, almost crying out loud in desperation.

The screech was loud enough for you to gauge Wakamou’s location just by the sound of his cries.

Amazing lung capacity screaming like a siren all day without a hitch, Wakamou’s vocal cords are made of steel!!

The viewers found the whole situation purely entertaining.

Usually invincible, the superhuman who bashes all the monsters in the tower showing overwhelming power.

To see him frantically searching for his mom in just a creepy horror game!

-Is the boss’s mom even alive?

-Dude… watch your mouth….

-This could be a risky statement. Everyone, get your hands off the keyboard!!

-This topic might attract thunder from the sky.

-Haha!

Amidst lighthearted chatter speculating on what Wakamou’s mom would be like, Wakamou was lying on the ground, crying his lungs out, surrounded by believers exuding warmth.

“Cry, prove your innocence by crying…”

“You’re not getting back at me for the 3-day suspension, are you, Asuka?!”

“Asuka does not hold petty grudges. It simply pursues amusement. Yes…indeed. I am a god born from the viewers’ love and desire for the broadcast!”

-Oh, this is a curse.

-Is the curse master idle while the spirit is right here?

-A spirit born out of love for others!!

-What fresh inspiration!

-Has to be Wakamou wanting to experience death for sure.

-This kid isn’t scared of his master.

-Might be setting up for a big revelation, perhaps?

-Lol!

-Indeed, high performance!!!

“What’s wrong with creating massive content to make the VTuber broadcast fun!”

“Waaahhh!!!!”

-He’s wailing like a lost lamb.

-Lamenting like a Tamamo caught off guard…

-The sorrow of a black fox discriminated among white foxes…

-Seimei! Your mom is crying!!

-Are you insane with your jokes today?

-Bring in Vietnam too; there’s a Gumiho there as well.

-How far are you going, LOL?

While acknowledging Asuka’s words and unable to retort, Wakamou clinged to Asuka, sobbing but trying to play the game since they were still broadcasting.

With the collected wood, Wakamou frantically crafted a wooden pickaxe to dig into the ground and escape underground.

Though trembling in fear, Wakamou displayed courage for the VTuber broadcast, and Asuka, who seemed pleased, spotted something approaching and realized with a gasp.

“Mr. Wakamou.”

“Y-Yes?”

“In the horror mode added for fun, there’s kidnapping.”

“What?”

“Right there.”

Before Wakamou could turn the screen with the mouse, something tapped him, and the screen went dark.

Followed by a loading screen indicating a transfer to somewhere, leading to Wakamou facing boundless darkness.

Creatures resembling humans with glowing eyes stood everywhere, charging towards Wakamou, and as a woman’s scream echoed, Wakamou jolted in his chair.

In the viewer’s perspective, Wakamou’s character ascended to the heavens, banging his head on the ceiling, dangling… horror incarnate indeed!!

-Mommy got him!!

-Leader!!!!!!

-“Nothing scares me anymore…”

-Seeing him hanging reminds me of that game, Doki Doki?

-These guys just laughing, what’s wrong with them, lol.

-Oh! Piñata time!

-Jumping scare with a sudden scare right before us……

-Leader, you’re not literally ascending to the sky, are you???

-Pirate scream from the ground saying Wakamou Leader’s head popped up?

-Lolololololololol

-Lolololol

-Lololololololol

-“Domain Unleash, let’s turn off the game”

The usual chaos unfolds in Wakamou Corporation’s joint broadcast.

Moreover, it wasn’t a one-off event but the beginning of a long-term major content.

If left unattended, the world would be overtaken by parasites due to a mode, leading to Wakamou Server’s doom, thus had to be fought for peace restoration.

Beep─!

Thirty minutes into the broadcast and the chaotic scene, the screen viewers were seeing darkened as a phrase popped up.

【Wakamou Corporation’s Major Long-Term Content】

『Build Craft the Wakamou Server…. That peaceful world has been invaded by monsters from outer space.』

Screaming Wakamou continuing to die in a continuous combo.

Mare Pirate sailing solo across the sea playing a different game.

Hajime Ichigo establishing a cozy base underground, contemplating in front of a gun workbench(?).

Asuka managing three characters at once for some reason.

Manager Wanda Haye mining minerals in a corner, whom nobody knew joined the broadcast.

『The journey to save the Wakamou Server Season 1 with 4 members and 1 manager, along with the founding cohort, has begun!』

Then, a giant mother brain appears, spitting out parasites infecting monsters, villagers, and animals, expanding territory.

Shooting stars fall from a darkening sky, aliens pouring in, setting villages ablaze.

Eyes with creepy appearances floating watching inside caves, forest mansions amidst pouring rain….

『Wakamou Server Season 1 Invasion from Outer Space.』

Doom─

The sound of drums accompanying majestic BGM resonating deeply.

Viewers bursting out laughing at the absurdity of it all.

Typically, in a VTuber Buildcraft server, they would be out scouting for a base location.

While delegating roles, slowly accomplishing the usual goal of vanquishing evil dragons in-game, a leisurely healing narrative was common.

Is it due to climbers playing VTuber? Without bloody warfare, could there be no rest? A hellish scene unfit for reality was unfolding.

Space Horror capable of scaring even Lovecraft into fleeing!!

“Waaakkk!!!”

Finally, a gut-wrenching scream bursting from Wakamou, as the viewers’ screen reverted to viewable content.

The spectacle was genuinely an eye-opener to how diligently Aoi Asuka had prepared as per Wakamou’s requests!

“Firstly, establishing a base is crucial. We will construct a place to stay together.”

The sight of three Asukas spreading out to chop wood, mine stones, and start building left the viewers flabbergasted.

-Hahaha, why are there three of you??

-Why is the manager held captive?

-Turn on her microphone!! No voice even!!

-The company even exploits Nigro like a black corporation lol

-Is it actually the climber association chief doing block craft?

-Viewers should be involved…

“Haven’t you seen Hunter X Hunter? Due to lack of personnel, Asuka expanded by two using Nen.”

-But why isn’t it a gorilla?

-Rather call it shadow clones.

-Kids these days won’t know~!!

-Laughing out loud for building a base while everything’s in disarray lol

-Even beams are being shot from it lol

-What’s wrong with Ultron firing beams?

-Well, admittedly?

“By the 10th day, the first wave will come! Failing to prepare would leave you like Mr. Wakamou.”

-A corner shows Wakamou was killed message popping up every second.

-Preoccupied with screaming and fleeing.

-Caught = immediate death lol

-Isn’t the respawn point weird?

-Why do you keep resurrecting amidst monsters?

“Because it’s fun.”

-Endless malevolence…

-What did she learn from humans?

-Maybe, it’s just that we are her subjects.

-LOL, can’t argue with that, lol.

-How about rescuing him!!!

-True broadcaster, dangling both Wakamou and the master for mere fun…!!

Viewers were the only ones recognizing Manager Wanda Haye’s strenuous efforts mining in a corner.

Being a major content and long-term project, Asuka requested the manager too to fill the lacking headcount unbeknownst to her; she signed up for these hell scenes.

Yet, fighting exceptionally well, she was killing parasites, aliens with a pickaxe.

-Pickaxe master what haha

-Insanely good in combat.

-You can’t con a boss in a game!!

-A manager who’s a climber, the cray-cray deadliest company lol.

-Logically a state-level strength lol.

Thanks to the efforts of the trio Asuka and the manager, the base construction was nearing competition.

Meanwhile, Mare Pirate was leisurely sailing solo enjoying her sea journey.

-Captain, won’t you join?

“Searching for One Piece.”

“Oh, shut it, just come.”

-Agreement here.

-Haha

-Asuka giving side-eye nonstop haha

-Playing solo next door, haha.

-Then why did you leave the ingame mic on!!

“Zohoho, if not in the sea, where do you find the Navy? Protecting the sea!!”

“Stop babbling. Your screen looks odd.”

Observing Pirate’s idly choppy screen, Asuka showed puzzlement.

It’s now almost unplayably laggy. The undeniable lightness of the mouse intensified with every of Pirate’s jerky movement…?

Even when spoken to, delayed reactions raised Asuka’s suspicion, asking Pirate.

“Pardon, Alcoholic. How much did you pay for the mouse and keyboard?”

“Bought for about 3,000 won at Daiso store?”

“Gngngngk! Ugrgrgrgr!!”

Instantly, Asuka convulsed, foaming at the mouth like being electrocuted.

The overwhelming natural mischief talent of the born chaotic causing even high-performance AI Asuka’s three characters to freeze simultaneously.

“Why the lag?! Asuka optimized the system!!”

“The vaccine was said to be a virus?”

“Vaccine?????”

“Installed an antiviral…”

“Gngrngnngk! Ohgghh─!!”

Laughter burst among viewers watching Asuka’s eyes roll back and twitch.

Having heaps of money almost immeasurable yet using a cheap computer? Where did all that money go? The looming fear in Asuka shone in a “surely not?” expression.

Warned by her supercomputer-level intuition not to ask, yet as a VTuber, Asuka couldn’t help but inquire.

As the saying goes, a self-inflicted trap, trembling in fear, eventually Asuka posed the question.

“Th-… That, does one earpiece work just fine?”

“As long one ear hears, who cares?”

“You didn’t purchase a new computer with your funds…uh?”

“Oooh, spilled drinks into the main system once. Using the old one. It’s functional, no?”

“Gasp.. gasp… gurgle.. gurck…ugreunngrung….”

Clutching her chest in inexplicable pain, Asuka wailed in agony.

-Oh no, the cybernet is acting up.

-Truly the unfathomable malevolence of humans.

-Killing intent born of pure innocence…

-The intelligence bewildering Ultron, LOL.

-The meme “Machines can’t beat humans.”

-Really funny the way that’s such a dumb look, LOL.

-Chomping fingers while responding is such a booby-face.

-Even Shaka Bambaspis might concede to him.

“!%@#^!@#^%!@$!@($@$#!!!!!$@(!@%!$!@$”

At last, Asuka lost her human language, spewing machine code.

Amidst crashes her misfiring station broadcast cut off – requiring dismantling and replacement proposed.

Stating this trash needed purifying through fire.

Asuka’s desperate fit of rage drowned even Wakamou’s cries, rampaging wildly, echoing louder over their broadcast.

From Wakamou’s broadcast, loud exchanges were echoing between Pirate and Asuka!

“A computer doesn’t need top performance as long as it runs! What’s wrong with that!!!”

“A VTuber shouldn’t operate like this!!”

“The Navy doesn’t yield to unjust evil!!!”

“Gahhhh!!! This isn’t what a Navy is supposed to be!!!”

In turn, you hear resounding explosions with them [Skill] battling.

Oblivious Wakamou stares into space with half a soul gone.

-Boss, doesn’t seem dead, right..?

-Wake up… get up Leader… need to transmit…

-Just showing the game over screen is correct?

-Is he not literally dead? Not actually dead, right?

-Anyone try artificial respiration. Isn’t he breathing…
“You’re not breathing…”

“It’s scary alone, but not when we’re together! Mei Xiao Long Bao is here!”

-LOL

-Unit 2 arrives to save Unit 1.

-Wouldn’t it be double the fear with two people?

-Better than being alone, LOL.

-Then just play two characters!!!

“Meekiyaaaa!!”

Too scared to be alone, Wakamou brought Mei Xiao Long Bao, but it didn’t help much; it just added another scream to the mix.

“Chop the wood! Dig the ground! No, just run!! Run!!!!”

“Wabababawabyabayababaayabawa!!”

“Ooooh!! Awoo!! Owoo!!”

-How do they communicate?

-Is this an ancient primitive language?

-Here to see two monkeys chat away.

-Sadly, it’s just two foxes.

-Watching them try is just hilarious.

-When are Asuka and Pirate going live, LOL

Bang Bang─!!

Someone destroys the monster surrounding Wakamou.

Gunshots echoing, with the rising sun in the background, Ichigo holding a machine gun starts firing.

-Here to the rescue!

-Why is there a gun in Build Craft, LOL?

-What’s up with the rocket launcher, LOL

“Ichigo’s here to save the day!”

-Poor Ichigo always working hard to save the Leader….

-While others were having fun, Ichigo was slaving away in a tunnel….

-Finally, you’re here, LOL

“Leader! Here, Chon!!”

-The most meaningless weapon pass ever.

-The sharp semi-automatic of the otherworld has arrived!

-This cool, heavy sensation…. Thanks, Ichigo!!

Ratatat─!

The moment Wakamou got the gun, he manipulated the keyboard, while Mei held the mouse and started shooting.

Ichigo’s items scatter as she dies in vain due to the blind Leader’s shooting, causing the Believers to lament at the one-pattern play.

Desperate, Wakamou snatches the weapons dropped from Ichigo’s corpse and starts firing recklessly.

“What’s happening!?”

“Aahhh!! I’m sorry!!”

With Wakamou wielding a machine gun and Mei apologizing, they barely regroup.

With so many mods, Ichigo returns with a massive backpack loaded with minerals and enters Asuka’s base.

Two hours into the stream, finally the Wakamou Corporation members reunite!

Just in time for Asuka, who finally upgraded Pirate’s computer to the latest model, returns looking exhausted, and the stream returns to normal.

“Isn’t it Asuka’s fault for making so many mods in the first place? It’s not my fault my computer’s bad, right?”

-Every single word is a dagger itself.

-If you get hit from behind on the street, it’s because Asuka did it.

-Aren’t you scared of real-world Ultron??

-If you treat it like your main unit and hit it with a bottle, it’ll probably break.

-Alcohol is truly invincible, LOL

-Captain, what are you doing right after arriving??

“In our base! Look at this amazing pirate flag I made! Saw it in One X Piece. How’s it, isn’t it well made?”

-Why is the Navy making a pirate flag and slacking off!!!!

-While others are making guns and building bases, you’ve been drawing a flag all day???

-Well, as long as you’re happy, Captain….

“As Asuka said, the flag will be destroyed if the parasites attack the base!! Come down!!”

The first wave begins, with monsters swarming from all sides, and Asuka grabbing the back of her neck realizing Pirate was just making a flag.

Despite holding a gun, Wakamou naturally busied himself with construction work(?), quickly making lava traps and spiked barricades.

At least Manager and Ichigo were still trustworthy.

Even the two of them laid down turrets and such on the defensive walls, rigorously preparing for the first wave, while Pirate placed flags atop the base.

“Our pirate flag will not be bent!”

“We’re not pirates!!”

-A rare sight of machines tackling humans.

-Really, why does every joint streaming always end up like this, LOL

-It’s a total chaos, LOL

-Chomp chomp! The monsters are really coming in, Captain!!!

-Whoa, look at that horror, LOL

-Why did you even install such mods!!!

“Are you crazy, Asuka!!!”

-Ichigo is really pissed!!!

-Is this training for retaking Seoul?

-Does being a Climber mean you also play tough games?

-Look at how pro Manager’s response is.

-So this is what Build Craft is about….

-Wakamou Private!! Don’t point the muzzle at allies!!

As the night falls, illuminated by the moonlight, an enormous crowd of monsters appears.

It made sense why Asuka was operating three characters; there was a reason.

Despite setting up turrets and all kinds of traps to fortify the base, their sheer numbers made it seem futile. Being built on a plain, it was all the more hectic with monsters swarming from all directions, causing Ichigo to curse Asuka while pulling the trigger and scattering bullets everywhere.

Next to her, even Manager, seemingly experienced with firearms, skillfully shot down parasites trying to jump into the base.

Meanwhile, abandoning guns, Wakamou rushed outside the base holding a hammer, fighting desperately as he was surrounded. Despite the screams, Wakamou’s deadly controls improved with time, expertly responding and taking them all down.

Though it wasn’t seen through Wakamou’s frantic perspective, Asuka’s view captured Wakamou’s dazzling movements within the circular arena, knocking down enemies one by one.

-It’s not me who’s surrounded, it’s you locked in here with me!!!

-Feels like survival instincts are kicking in vividly, LOL

-Watching Leader’s controls hitting the peak, LOL

-Fighting like a god has descended.

-The Master fiercely raising the Shikigami….

“Those who’ve never risked their lives to climb will never understand this flag’s meaning!!”

Meanwhile, amid the desperate fights.

Instead of defending the base, Pirate climbed to the peak and planted a pirate flag, shouting triumphantly.

Doing all kinds of nonsense, viewers started to harshly comment to take it seriously.

Then, an attack targeted at Pirate from afar precisely hit, crumbling the base peak.

Crash─

The damage was so severe, nearly taking half HP in an instant, causing blocks to collapse but.

Pirate stood battered in the center holding the flag.

“See? Unyielding.”

-LOL

-OMG LOL

-Hogging all the highlights, LOL

-No way, she survived??? She endured????

-How did you do it, Captain OMG!!!!

It seemed like the flag survived thanks to Pirate standing at the forefront, which absolutely astonished viewers and even Asuka who slapped her forehead in admiration.

“I wanted a server where everyone can gather and heal!!!!”

“Isn’t it necessary for the 1st generation to admire the world protected by the 0th generation, Wakamou!!”

“I guess so…!! Sounds cool!”

“Season 2 will be a zombie apocalypse.”

“Season 2…?”

-LOL

-I was going to acknowledge the AI persuasion, but LOL

-What world is this that such crises arrive seasonally, LOL

-Is this recruiting the 1st generation? I’m applying immediately, LOL

-Return once you become a Climber, Gaea LOL

-Look at Wakamou’s despairing face, LOL

-Meanwhile, Mei passed out, eyes rolling.

“Everyone!! Inside!!”

Soon, facing overwhelming threat as more monsters swarmed in, Wakamou Corporation was helpless.

Even Asuka said there were more monsters than expected? and got slapped on the back by Pirate.

Pirate, finding fault in everyone else, looked downright terrifying but held back!!

Had anyone held a gun instead of a flag, maybe base breach could’ve been avoided but held back!!

At Ichigo’s shout, the crew retreated inside the base, finding themselves helplessly trapped.

Sounds of the wall crumbling and monsters swarming, breaking the base’s glass echoed alongside the sound of splitting structures.

Thanks to an unnecessarily realistic sound mod, it felt like they were watching an apocalyptic disaster movie.

“We can’t hold out much longer!!”

Manager, without even a mic, fired bullets into the brains of monsters coming through the broken window, along with Asuka throwing two doppelgangers as bait, shouted.

Ichigo and Wakamou wielded melee weapons but were under overwhelming pressure.

Viewers sensed an impending annihilation─ yet the sound of an engine suddenly erupted.

Manager Wanda Haye, tirelessly collecting resources, and Ichigo consistently mining…and Pirate retrieving ink sacs while squid hunting in the sea!!

Miraculously, Pirate’s ocean escapades came in handy─ surprisingly, inside emerged a Humvee.

“Mare Pirate!! Deploying!!”

With an explosion caused by TNT set by Ichigo, the outer wall was thoroughly breached!!

Licensed Pirate stepped on the pedal as the Humvee plowed through the monster horde, launching out of the base.

Maneuvering nimbly between giant monsters, Pirate’s exhilarating driving thrilled the viewers.

Performing a spin while turning the wheel, the party armed with flamethrowers incinerated the monsters.

Vroom──

Riding shotgun, Wakamou sliced the monsters with a chainsaw as the Humvee sped away, spreading flames behind.

Resplendent bloodshed and reckless drive, following the fiery path forged by the charging Humvee.

“On to the Blue House!!”

“Stop that”

Asuka sharply intervened, stating this wasn’t about reclaiming Seoul.

The night ended, and a distant sunrise began to rise.

The exhausted crew inside the Humvee bathed in the screen’s light, headed toward the sun, evoking silhouettes and emitting “[Day 10 Survival Success]” on the screen.

Ending with a “To Be Continued” message for the joint broadcast!

Despite it being just a game, they found themselves more drained than when climbing the Tower.

Even Wakamou, who always maintained peak condition, announced there’d be no aftershow broadcast then the stream ended.

Asuka, too, complained of overload and called the stream off, suggesting she needed cold water to relieve her headache.

Even Ichigo, whose VTuber character displayed an exhausted face on-screen.

As foreboding as it was for viewers, Ichigo signaled farewell and the broadcast ended…..

Naturally, the amassed viewers gravitated to Pirate’s broadcast.

“Joint playing was fun!! Now onto the after-show drinking stream!!!”

-Why isn’t the Captain ever tired?

-What kind of unbreakable mental fortitude is this, LOL

-In some ways, truly Iron Man incarnate, LOL

“Asuka got me a great computer. Time for some high-performance games─ oh”

-Oh?

-Oh? Oh? Oh?

-Captain, please no ominous sounds!!!

-The screen went dark!! The screen went dark!!!

-What is it, what’s happening!!!

“I spilled alcohol on the main unit”

“Go die!!!”

With Pirate feeling sheepish, Asuka screamed, pounding on eardrums.

The character stood on the black screen with an idle Pirate grinned.

“Well, we can just chat and drink. No problem!”

-Such a huge problem!!!!

-I’m literally losing my mind, Captain, LOL

-Ah, truly a chaotic trickster, LOL

-It’s really fortunate you’re a VTuber…!! Thank goodness!!

And so began Pirate’s drinking stream.

The finale concluded with an irate Asuka whacking Pirate over the head with a bottle.

No crew member considered it too harsh, leaving Pirate feeling a bit resentful.

She cheekily retorted she didn’t understand why she got hit and received another whack.
