What do many people think about Wakamou Inarizushi?
“Wakamou is like a savior to me! Just look at how my fortunes have turned around!”
For Dorrison J Jackson, an [Architect] from the United States, she was the best employer and at the same time the best partner.
She guides him on what to do and lets him do as he pleases.
She respects Jackson as a professional, even though she could forcefully change what she doesn’t like.
Including that, she now allows him to utilize his profession as intended, establishing industrial zones in Russia.
“Yes…? Of course, the savior! My Führer…oh dear… I must consider the community….”
For Adelheid von Bismarck, an [Artist] from Germany, Wakamou was a God beyond an idol—a being to worship and be eternally venerated.
Adelheid was ready with a flag to raise high for Wakamou, whom she hailed as the sole leader of all non-combat Legendary Classes.
Though unintended, Wakamou was naturally creating capable and loyal followers or ‘comrades.’
Of course, Wakamou considered and employed them as equals working alongside her.
Now seen as Fox Deity due to various appearances misinterpreted by the Tower since the ‘Dalki’ misunderstanding, she is revered not as a mere successful Climber but as an idol and a forgotten Fox Deity.
Who would dare lightly consider her a mere partner in business?
“Initially, I doubted why I was hired despite being a perpetual graduate student.”
Sebastian Eisenberg, who lived a slave-like life bound to a Tower in Austria, says.
He was surprised to know about the bizarre item called the [Growth Note] after meeting Wakamou, and then by the true potential of his class.
He realized it wasn’t just a study-related class; writing dissertations on skills would enable him to use skills of that category… which also meant researching skills even from other disciples was effective.
Not just a politeness, his studies enabled some skills even from Jackson’s [Architect] field.
Naturally, it included fields like [Alchemist], and eventually, he could boast his talent and effort by using some skills from the [Shifter] category.
In fact, he held a high position equivalent to a professor but was labeled a graduate student by the Tower, unable to earn a degree. This humiliation and contempt for his class caused much grief for Sebastian.
In such a situation, being acknowledged by Wakamou and appointed as a professor at a training facility for Climbers, how could it not be pleasing?
Beyond South Korea to Japan and China, now even Russia.
She provides various help across four major nations, utilizing hired talents diversely for profits and even supporting Climbers to bolster national power.
In a way, Wakamou Inarizushi is regarded as nothing less than a real God, beyond the level of an idol.
…..This was the reputation and evaluation known to the world about Wakamou Inarizushi.
Naturally, Liu Wei, the [Collector], had no choice but to like Wakamou.
Appearing suddenly as a comet in a country with the least Climbers, didn’t she demonstrate insurmountable existence?
With heroic feats, overcoming obstacles and trials to seize victory, any adjective seemed inadequate.
To the point of commanding the head of the strongest association in Korea and the King of Authority in Japan!!
Truly, she was the embodiment of valor worthy of having Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with her!!
Additionally, growing an [Emperor] recognized by the Tower made the world keenly watch how far she could go.
She didn’t grow arrogant with her strength, demonstrating humility and respect, consulting her followers (!) on important matters, prioritizing others over herself.
From [Wakamou Floor 1] to [Climber’s Believer] and [Idol’s Shrine]… showcasing incredible class abilities as a non-combat Legendary Class [Idol].
Simultaneously crafting legends with martial prowess, despite possessing such a class.
A concept of a Fox Deity without the qualifications of an idol returned to the modern era, making records… it was enough to idolize a Chinese annotator into a “New Romance of the Three Kingdoms” writer.
Despite Wakamou’s pleas to stop, Liu Wei continued to write the 21st-century Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his diary today.
Such natural charisma to gather followers (?).
Additionally, appropriately hiring talents, leading them to follow on their own instead of forcefully ruling them—this charisma and charm.
With the emergence of the Tower, where ancient idols come forward to showcase what kind of figure changes the world….
Many competitively vied to join Wakamou Inarizushi, unseen, competing fiercely.
Especially desperate were the non-combat Legendary Classes.
It was revealed through the recent upheaval that the Tower indeed used those believed to be humanity’s pinnacle (?) as testers!!
Of course, they possessed [Skills] that ensured they wouldn’t starve or were never deemed weak.
In a sense, their mental strength was overwhelming compared to combat-oriented Legendary Classes.
Yet, still—envy is envy.
Even non-combat Legendary Classes waited to be called, claiming they could work hard too.
Surprisingly, the boss of Six Legged Beasts even encouraged job-switching where free.
“If they pay more and treat better, isn’t switching jobs the better choice? In this era, is job-switching forbidden… is there any lawsuit risk?”
Such responses returned when some non-combat Legendary Classes directly queried the boss.
Governments of various countries were wary of Legendary Classes growing too strong and talked about regulating them, so they too sought safety.
They wanted to move into the absolutely safe idol sanctuary, [Wakamou Floor 1]!!
…..I digressed.
Thus, Wakamou Inarizushi lived revered and respected as an [Idol], acknowledged as the modern Fox Deity by many.
Yet, Wakamou Inarizushi, evidenced by the existence of the [Man-eater], didn’t completely escape the confines of an [Human].
Despite the global misperceptions and misunderstandings, sadly, this wretched being was only a VTuber with a Fox Deity concept.
A joke turned tragedy, as everyone worships her as the real Fox Deity.
“Daring to say… a perfectionist?”
“Mare Pirate,” a VTuber under her, dared to describe Wakamou as such, acknowledging it might be disrespectful.
Hired as a VTuber with no prior experience, learning much through her brother, she understood how Wakamou chased an unreachable star, an ideal itself.
Regardless of its attainability, she fervently pursued life, setting it ablaze to advance.
Witnessing her father, known as the King of Authority, throw his entire life into martial pursuits provided a clearer view.
Chasing after her predecessors, enamored by the legendary achievements and chronicles they built.
Moreover, she truly embraced being a VTuber, clawing her way up from the bottom, fiercely loving all who did the same, though she belittled herself compared to them, which Pirate noted.
“She is excessively strict with herself.”
People pursuing perfection were notably inclined towards such tendencies.
Although she kindly laughed at the cute accidents or mistakes of other VTubers, she despaired as rubbish when ruining or erring her own broadcasts.
“Is there even a VTuber company that succeeded this fast and magnificently within almost a year?”
100% of the earnings from broadcasting went to the VTuber.
Further supporting them with equipment and manpower 100% if they wanted to do something, including putting away retirement bonuses every month anticipating eventual retirement.
Frankly speaking, everyone accepted it as a leading VTuber corporation in South Korea.
Wakamou had already crossed beyond corporate realm into national scope, capable of enforcing her whims like yard or pound measurement nationwide through her influence.
Can it be logically said that such a person laments not watching broadcasts instead of wielding power arbitrarily?
“Satchan always showed such traits…”
“Hajime Ichigo,” a VTuber under her, didn’t know about VTubers but dived into it for her president who raised her.
Possessing hexagonal talents, including singing, dancing, and gaming—Ichigo was excellent as the ideal VTuber Wakamou envisioned.
Ichigo, proficient in broadcasting, saw no issues with newcomers joining afterward.
Everyone embodied their individuality excellently, freely broadcasting as VTubers, captivating with their charm to build a fanbase.
Often teased over glasses, “Joseph Khan” was immensely loved by so-called “big spenders,” despite supposedly lacking popularity.
She had a fixed fanbase cherishing and caring for her.
Among Wakamou Corporation’s VTubers, not a single one could be labeled talentless.
“The personality is problematic.”
As Aoi Asuka continued, asserting accurately,
Wakamou had a clear vision and, beyond that, a distinct image of VTubers she admired.
If she simply belonged to a VTuber company, she would broadcast modestly, caring for juniors and following company ethos.
Yet, she was both a VTuber and the company’s president.
Further, beyond that, she was an idol maintaining the alliance among four countries, the very pillar sustaining Korea on the brink of collapse.
She employed a huge number of managers, talent, and resources to facilitate anything the VTubers wanted, not worrying about profit or loss.
It seemed like she respected the VTuber’s freedom completely, allowing them to do whatever they wished.
It’s not untrue. She was a president who let them pursue their wishes.
But her ideals continually clashed with reality, with a burden to be responsible for their lives, the VTuber’s lives pressing on her.
Wakamou Inarizushi was a perfectionist with a strong sense of responsibility.
Even considering turning Climbers into VTubers for joint climbing was something, though others favored it; she constantly stressed whether she was driving them into hardship.
He prioritizes safety to the point of obsession, trying his best to treat those who come into his embrace well.
Even though Asuka, who is merely a glutton, can be overworked and treated like a slave, he respects her broadcasting freedoms just because she is a member of the VTuber group.
He becomes the breakwater for VTubers, taking criticism and damage upon himself, never burdening or forcing others to pursue his ideals.
Yet, he is overly strict on himself, striving for perfection, constantly worrying about how to entertain the viewers who come to watch his broadcast.
As a result, despite having a powerful mind close to a superhuman or Iron Man, ultimately, he remains just a human.
He carries a sense of responsibility, having much to bear as a Climber and fulfilling his duty as a President.
Wakamou, whose spirit is being slowly eroded, hit his limit.
He mastered non-physical nerves with lightning, gaining near-time-stoping cognitive abilities.
He doesn’t need to eat, relieve himself, or sleep.
Moreover, he manages three bodies, caring for affiliated VTubers around the clock, broadcasting himself, and handling his duties as a President.
Even when a day feels like 120 hours despite the paradox of it being 30 hours long, Wakamou lost his personal time.
Wakamou, overwhelmed with work, piled up cold meals to the point where he could not watch VTuber broadcasts.
There were broadcasts that disappeared unrecorded because he couldn’t watch them.
These accumulated mental damage on Wakamou.
While other affiliated VTubers and followers of Wakamou spent money freely and enjoyed their abundant time living luxuriously and happily—Wakamou, who is the President and representative, worked tirelessly without sparing a moment to drink water.
On top of that, he was reading a thesis on “Mana” by a newly employed graduate student, studying as a Climber.
Since climbing the Tower is the content he creates, he diligently learns the Skills that Climbers use, types of existing Monsters, and keeps an eye on the world situation carefully.
Such was his condition that he could have taken a regular break from broadcasting, but a sense of responsibility kept him broadcasting consistently as a VTuber, even as his mind was breaking down.
As a President, as a VTuber, as a Climber, he worked hard to fulfill all his roles…
His brain doesn’t exist, nor does the organ that feels fatigue.
He always maintains an optimal state, but that contradiction chipped away at his mental strength.
Even his only source of dopamine in life being stripped away, Wakamou was on the brink of crashing.
“What is this!!!”
-Wow, new gimmicks haha
-Oh, is this the cataclysm~
-No LOL, cooperate~
-Is it right to split like this?
-Wow, a labyrinth appeared?
-No, it didn’t appear LOL….
-HAHAHAHAHA
[Climbing the 54th-floor World of the Incheon Tower]
-The kind of trials fitting for strong Climbers are bestowed.
-Difficulty rises according to [Wakamou Inarizushi] the Climber’s achievements!
-Endure the trials with your companions!
-Due to [Cataclysm], special benefits are added to all [Legendary Classes].
[Platinum Achievement Condition (Eased)]
-Defeat the 54th-floor boss (0/1)
What they saw upon entering the Tower was a dark place whose location was unknown.
Torches were installed on every wall so it wasn’t completely dark, but with pathways extending in all directions, Wakamou’s party was trapped in a labyrinth as soon as they entered.
Should they have suspected when an arena appeared on the 53rd floor?
Beyond the Coliseum was a complex maze that didn’t allow anyone who entered to escape.
Wakamou, who was contemplating how to use the [Skill] and [Enhancements] obtained from the 53rd floor, noticed the phrase indicating benefits were only for the Legendary Class.
Indeed, while the Tower might be far from human values and common sense, it does try to maintain fairness.
Perhaps that’s why Wakamou’s achievement conditions were also eased.
But without even a moment to rejoice, Wakamou found himself standing vacantly alone with Mei.
Where did the other members go…? He looked around in surprise, checked the attached cameras for their positions.
Pirate was with Adolf, and Joseph was with Ichigo.
The Tower had never dispersed parties like this into the labyrinth until now.
Suddenly introducing non-existent gimmicks, putting Wakamou in trouble.
Moreover, even though it claimed that they only needed to defeat the [Boss], the bustling cameras showed [Elite Monsters] all over the place.
[Mid Bosses] appeared to guard every passage like towering mountains, with no apparent answer unless they headed to the boss room.
Even though they wanted to help, the vast labyrinth had an unexpected length, and numerous traps increased the difficulty.
“Ugh…Ugh…”
It’s stressful…
The fan cafe and all community sites were in an uproar, and boiling emotions hit Wakamou with a big hit, as he scrolled through stress-inducing posts during ego search, facing potential sudden situations where fellow VTubers might be in danger.
While he would normally laugh it off… having not been able to watch VTuber broadcasts for two consecutive days, Wakamou couldn’t bear it.
[Don’t you want to trouble with dynamic posting?]
[Don’t you want to send Super Chats and see the reaction?]
[Confess to a new VTuber, make her play a horror game while donating!!]
[Write weird stuff like “Captain is so hot, her thighs are insane, I want to be crushed by her butt” on some Paraguayan site!!!]
[But honestly, isn’t it okay to spray some perfume since they’re a woman now? Isn’t it okay to doll up with the perfume used by your favorite?]
[Let’s dress up in Rainbow Fashion of our Queen…]
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjME9rblFoZUJSeWwzdTkvZWNqUmRjNA
[With the power of fairy tales, everything becomes inch-perfect…!! Let’s make it with inch law, Wakamou!!]
[Go to Comiket, buy VTuber ero doujins recklessly, and want to take photos of cosplayers… ]
[Debut while making an ero-game about yourself, and want to go wild playing a VTuber ero-game like a monkey.]
Rampaging desires echoing in his head…!!
I want to do it… Break free…!!
“Aaaah!! Get out of my head!!!”
-???? Leader? Why all of a sudden?
-Are you being mentally attacked? No, right?
-Why are your eyes like that…?
-You’re not crazy from being busy, right?
-Are you insane…? Leader?
-Lately, you haven’t been visible in VTuber broadcasts… Don’t tell me you went crazy from not watching broadcasts?
-Does that even make sense?
-It does if it’s the leader, lol
-Shouldn’t that be a major concern?
-We’re doomed.
Biting his nails nervously, Wakamou couldn’t hide or suppress his anxiety.
Even though he was aware he was broadcasting, he couldn’t manage his breaking mental state.
Attempting to ground himself with some music, the logical mind, already collapsing like a sandcastle, eventually caved in like a Jenga tower when its base is smacked.
“Ugh…Ugggh….”
Completely flipping out, Wakamou’s eyes turned.
He was vividly demonstrating what happens when a person is cornered to the brink because of stress.
Trying to maintain some rationality during this, his mind screamed: a broadcasting accident occurred!! Must handle this!! as he scrambled for solutions within his mind.
The reward called reinforcement…The [VTuber Model], with a section added, which he acquired on the 53rd floor caught his attention.
“You bastard, I want a break!!! I want to watch VTuber broadcasts!!! Aaaah!!”
The cork tightly pressed down exploded.
“Aarrrgh… Arrgggh…!! I’m angry, Tower─!!!”
There were so many reasons, looking back, that it couldn’t be narrowed down to just one single thing.
Just rabidly, as if bitten by a rabid dog, Wakamou lost it, turning beastlike with rage-filled eyes.
Absorbing Mei standing next to him and retrieving the [Split Body], his height shrunk and his hair turned golden, with Wakamou licking his lips.
As nine golden, dazzling tails swayed enchantingly like strands woven from pure gold…
Wakamou, transformed into a golden Gumiho, never had an ounce of reason left in his wide-opening eyes.
It meant his sanity had evaporated.
The repressed desires… solely accumulated stress…all the fucking nonsense…
Yes, to put it vulgarly, he blew it all away.
Unleashing his primal nature, consumed by the concept of a fox god, Wakamou howled like a wild fox.
“Eroticism is beautiful!!! Ah─! I want to lay on a lap and have my ears cleaned!! Our Kakiliki President’s fitness outfit’s backside is super hot!! Wakya─!!”
-He has completely lost his mind now?
-Blonde doesn’t suit…!! Come back!!!
-The two days not watching VTuber broadcasts’ backlash is too big.
-Who said to confiscate VTuber broadcasts from the leader?
-Sobs…I’m sorry…
-No way!! Leader!!! Hold on!!! Don’t get devoured by inner lust, madness, and VTuber spirit!! Return to the usual ideal President!!!
“Heh heh heh”
Using [My Worlds] skill, Wakamou, who had stashed away boxed figures without ever opening them, ripped the packaging with his teeth, uncovering the contents inside, and laughed happily looking at the undergarment color.
It seemed he found happiness, cradling the figures and plushies in both hands and giggling brightly.
Watching this spectacle, Manager Wanda Haye wept at the disaster that surpassed a simple broadcasting accident.
On screen was a creature that exploded after holding it in for so long, going wild while fully equipping himself with all sorts of merchandise.
“Part timer, take Wednesday to Friday off…3 Day rest is real!!!!”
-Alright, calm down a bit.
-Was envious of Asuka to the point of madness…
-Don’t become a white-faced gold-moor from this.
-What’s the Manager doing?
-It’s Korea Tower’s fault.
“Hehe…Poor Wakkamo without watching broadcasts…I need to give Wakkamo a thousand won..Hehe….”
-Leader, why have you become a dog now….
-You just lost your sanity….
-It’s sad that I can’t help this poor leader.
-Info) Donations to Leader are closed.
-Take some money and wipe your tears…
-Even though leader has more money than us, seeing this makes me pity him.
-What’s the President of the Korean Association doing~!!!
“Nomnamnam…”
With a cute mascot’s head in his mouth, chewing away, even the Association President sighed.
Wakamou, who usually didn’t show his emotions about being worked up, what chance was there to perceive this…
