[Title: Kyaaaa!]

(Newly debuted character photo of Joseph Khan)

Aieeeee!! Dragon!? Dragon!? Why!?

Dragon Reality Shock!

Let me explain! Dragons are mythical creatures passed down, like ninjas or Fox Deities. Confirming their existence would be a great shock for mortals like us!

A real dragon! Reality tremors! Mortals trembling at the merciless act!!

They never taught this in school!!

Anyhow, there’s a new red pill spreading like wildfire.

The opponent is a newly debuted VTuber!! The Fox Deity is enraged by such an act!!

Such cowardice! Words fail me—Sugoi disrespect!

Foolish believers who leaked the red pill, recite Haiku…!!

-But the believers, fearing their own neurons would flip from tent-entry and threefold output flipping, have forgotten everything because of their neuron trickery—no real problem!

-It’s so cool, it’s in the ancient records.

-When is the stream… late… my patience pouch will burst.

-Situation analysis!

-No mercy, sayonara!

-Oh Buddha, are you awake?!

-I don’t know the answer! It might all be a lie! But regret is for after death! Yeah! Ultimately, just subscribe!

ㄴNo, I don’t want to! Because it’s annoying!

ㄴAre you crazy?

ㄴThis is a template.

ㄴWhat..?!

-The dark Wakamou Corporation only has VTubers! No dragons!

ㄴGot it? Ah, hi!!

[Title: Wakamou’s VTuber Dragon]

VTubers debut with a concept or setting. Although my otherworld idol is a VTuber and idol, which is slightly different.

Look at Virtual Live or Korea’s Stellar Miss.

In short, the basic and obvious VTuber setting is so cringy and otaku-like that it feels unpleasant.

People who say such things aren’t fans and don’t deserve to participate in live sessions.

Actually, Wakamou made an announcement, so I like this victory because it survived.

-Is there still a time to apologize?

ㄴIt’s too late, dude lol

-The Leader’s VTuber love is unknown, those who can’t know will perish lol

-Those who don’t respect VTuber concepts!! Go learn and come back!!

-lol but if you set a dragon girl concept lol

ㄴThat’s definitely the concept.

ㄴIf there’s a dragon behind the cam, it’s a VTuber, right, right…

ㄴWhy is there a real dragon, damn it lol

-Seems like the Leader knows the dragon.

-Did the Tower steal power again?

-Yeah, the Tower is the source of all evil!

-Came from the moon, how did they get back?

ㄴThere’s a story that Japan’s gods came from the moon.

ㄴDidn’t know Korean people believe gods live on the moon…?

ㄴAh, those Japan-obsessed guys lol

-Did they go check Nazi’s secret base?

ㄴHow far will you go, dude lol

ㄴHow’s the name Joseph? They said it came from Yosef.

ㄴThat’s the correct meaning, right…

ㄴFlows Mongol blood, is that why it’s Khan?

ㄴDo you know about dragon carsex…? Then there must be horse-catching dragons!

ㄴYou crazy guy!!!!

[Title: This is a Cheat!]

Red pill being a real dragon, girl VTuber.

That’s just cheating, isn’t it lol

-Beautiful…..

-A super beautiful VTuber starting with a red pill open is the web novel rule lol

ㄴAnd acting lol?

ㄴAh lol doing music too lol

ㄴThis person might smash castles.

ㄴOops.

-Utsukushi…..

-If doing a duel, using a blue-eyes deck, right? I know it.

-I summon myself to the field!!

-The puppet fidgeting is super cute lol

-A white dragon from the moon, a thousand-year-old Fox Deity.

-But if it’s a real dragon, the scales’ blood, wow…. the material jackpot, isn’t it?

ㄴLeader wins it and takes.

ㄴAren’t dragons usually guarding treasures?

ㄴVTuber is the treasure, and the Fox Deity guards it.

ㄴLolololol

ㄴAh lol

ㄴWhy the opposite lol

-Kidnapping the pure white dragon princess, the guardian Fox Deity.

ㄴCertainly! Stronger than a dragon!!

[Title: Smash the Like if You Thought We’re Done for Live]

You know the Leader loves VTubers. But idiots spread the red pill by accident.

Those who claim VTuber concepts are cringy.

All of them are disappearing, right? There’s cybernet in the company.

If anyone dislikes Wakamou’s rule, you can defeat it with power.

Because he seized power with strength….!!

Anyway, seeing the first-born Adolf and Joseph, can’t you tell?

With Mae Zedong there, if you want to see Dalki, behave well.

-Not sure if recruiting VTuber members or assembling an evil organization.

-Did Moustache Pat and Mat arrive lol

-Red team alliance lol

-Joseph of Russia, Adolf of Germany…!

ㄴMae isn’t Mao lol

-Teamed up, is this right lol

-Scary to think of how the red pill leak will be sanctioned.

-Knowing the Fox Deity is scary but still teasing means humans are foolish.

The community had transformed into a hellish landscape.

If there’s horrendous hell on earth, wouldn’t this be it? Fur fanatics who were crying out for Wakamou’s furry form were trampled as strange and suspicious dragon armies invaded fan cafes and the community.

Posting all sorts of dragon memes, claiming not to lose, as beautiful dragon girl memes flooded in—though Asuka tried desperately to barricade the fan cafe, it was a mess so bad that cafe managers had to step in.

Even the Korean government asked if it was a real dragon, and other nations were inquiring about the dragon’s intentions and if they could sell the by-products.

Amidst all this, some politicians questioned why they were keeping something so dangerous, criticizing Wakamou, but there were only two kinds who didn’t understand how it worked.

Those uninterested seniors who didn’t know that Wakamou Inarizushi was a monstrous Climber or overly youthful, hot-blooded politicians who over-trusted their power and relied on their affiliated forces to rampage.

Some couldn’t even refute when the president told them to say it directly, sealing their lips, while some were outrageous enough to demand the Climber come to them, not the other way around—showing how little some in the Korean government understood Climbers even after ten years.

The previously serving president was such a superhuman that he took care of everything himself, so relaxed, observing politicians decided to capitalize on the new, seemingly mild president to their advantage with all sorts of maneuvering.

Of course, no matter how weak and mentally fragile the current president was. His backing was the Korean Climber Association President.

Having viewed Wakamou Inarizushi’s prowess together with Korea’s strongest Climber, China’s government, Japan’s Climbing Association Chair, and now even aligning forces with Russia’s president.

The politicians’ barking was like chihuahua noise, and buzzing at the side registered no more than a mosquito’s wings.

The president was flexing his unchecked power, ignoring the politicians like ‘what are you going to do about this?’.

All that mattered was the trust and support of the citizens.

Why is a dragon considered dangerous? And proposing to send a dragon, whose scales and blood might bear untold value, to another country was even crazier sounding, wasn’t it?

Having comparable intelligence to humans, demanding to hand over the dragon escorted by Wakamou Inarizushi was already absurd.

“Please convey this well to Mr. Wakamou, Association President. Politicking with the dragon, there won’t be any entanglements.”

Scholars eager to study the dragon even rushed to Korea from the U.S., requesting to meet, but seeing domestic scholars already camped and reclining made them queue silently, too.

『The First Dragon』 unveiled to the world.

Strictly speaking, not a monster, but a truly mysterious, intelligent, mythical dragon appeared, causing a worldwide stir.

A typical VTuber ordeal might involve their setup screen accidentally popping up during a stream or major catastrophes where the cam activates, revealing the red pill.

But? If the revealed face was a super beautiful girl? As celebrity or singer-level?

Possibly, popularity could explode. But conversely, it might force them to resign as a streamer, or even take things further.

As we’ve seen in some cases where a piano-playing streamer transitioned to fully undressing for videos to captivate audiences.

Anyway─for VTubers, notoriety was everything. How many people know? And does it promote them positively? It’s those matters.

Today, some VTuber’s red pill got exposed. Maybe it was a blue pill instead.

Truly aspiring VTubers thinking up concepts, plotting settings, and naming─setting vast dreams and goals, launching their boat in the red ocean of VTubing, setting sail on the first day.

Yet, on that very first day, the worst disaster struck, sinking that ship.

Could there be a story more tragic than a VTuber whose red pill exposure happens on debut day…?

But what if, inside that camera, there’s a dragon claiming a moon descendancy as its concept?

No, why’s there an actual dragon broadcasting behind the camera would viewers not be shocked.

Fan cafes saw a queue of believers pleading please spare us just once, Mr. Wakamou!!

But by then it was long confirmed: VTuber fans saying the setup was cringe would not be entertained by Wakamou.

Not stopping there but flaring red pills and crying dragon sightings publicly, those attention-grabbers?

They were scheduled for a legal consultation with attorneys employed by Wakamou Corporation’s overflowing coffers.

──However, it was intended to only scare them at most.

In a sense, they were veritable broadcasters promoting the newly debuting VTuber “Joseph Khan”!!

First-gen “[Team Flower of Ten Days].”

While it translates to blooming beautifully but shedding eventually… VTubing isn’t forever.

Wakamou knew this and respected the name. Adelheid merely declared it pretty when picking it.

Later, Wakamou explained the name’s meaning, leading Adelheid to falsely claim, ‘I knew this from the start.’

With Germany’s Adolf already drawing attention, his comrade, Russia’s Joseph, and the true white dragon narrative started gathering all sorts of kinksters.

Hoping to behold a real dragon, but… regrettably, being a VTuber meant they couldn’t.

During this, bumbling fans mistaking VTubers for using their real faces got three-day bans from entering.

“This is rather fortunate, Mr. Wakamou!”

Marketing impact was certain. Having just wrapped her confusing debut stream, Olga Romanova shed tears, apologizing profusely for ruining everything—but knowing how much she dreamt of VTubing, Wakamou comforted her, saying don’t cry. The doll was now the size of her finger, offering no stability and causing worrisome hesitation.
Couldn’t find anything and was just feeling uneasy.

Then, Adelheid suddenly crafted a much larger version of the same doll for her, and she hugged it close, curled up her body, and began to sleep, seemingly very stressed.

Leaving her to rest due to the likely large emotional wounds, Wakamou turned to listen to what the manager had to say.

“Let’s go with the red pill being discovered as our narrative! After all, she’s a real dragon anyway. We deceive the viewers by saying she’s a dragon from the moon. In a way, she’s the perfect VTuber since there’s no way the red pill’s identity gets exposed!!”

“Wow~ I think I’ve seen people like that somewhere. Must be a bit dumb. Probably a head VTuber.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. The twist of having a real dragon behind the dragon concept is a great way to captivate viewers. Although, it becomes a bit of an ethical problem because you’re deceiving them….. but isn’t the main point of a VTuber to protect your identity? By doing this, you’re further securing that red pill.”

“Is that so?”

“Olga Romanova’s identity hasn’t been leaked or identified. And with the help of the Russian president. There’s no way they’d suspect if she’s inside the tower because nobody knows someone was brought here.”

South Korea had a Complete Strategy Layer and various resources in abundance, so many foreigners were switching nationalities to South Korean and becoming climbers. Among them were quite a few who came down from Russia.

Because they were affiliated with the Korean Tower and not the Russian one, they didn’t have their qualifications as climbers revoked.

As a result, many Russian climbers made up their minds to settle permanently in Korea by applying for naturalization.

“That’s right!! Even if the red pill is exposed, she’s an impervious VTuber!!”

“Oh, I see. Actually, me too!!”

“No, Mr. Wakamou, you’re an actual Fox Deity, and Olga happened to become a dragon, so we insist she’s a dragon from the moon and unapologetically run the VTuber Broadcast. Occasionally showing her dragon form will make viewers truly believe she’s a dragon, and since there’s no risk of her identity being investigated, it’s completely safe. Back in Russia, her dwelling was burned down due to the anger at the former president, so her colleagues won’t recognize her!”

“Are you secretly trolling me with a hidden camera?”

“Huh? Anyway, the tower… changing my job to [Zumyu] and turning me into a dragon but not giving me a way back…. But it seems like the crisis turned into a good opportunity!!”

“To be honest with the manager, I’m actually a guy.”

“So, you’re saying your gender identity is male? If you’re really a man, I’d marry you for overworking me and make you take responsibility for my life. Then, I’d ask you to build a bear zoo where all the world’s bears could be raised.”

“I’ll grant that request, but let’s skip the marriage.”

“Oh really, Mr. Wakamou, I understand the situation is chaotic, but stop talking nonsense. Why do you become so daft whenever VTubers are involved…”

Suspicious… The manager is suspicious…

It’s not that he’s loved by wealthy furries, but that he’s a wealthy furry himself…

Is he pretending not to know but actually mocking me? Complaining that I’m too busy to get married, but maybe it’s just because he loves bears too much to meet a man…?

Thinking back, the manager once said he went hiking on his day off at Jiri Mountain, but Wakamou didn’t want to know the reason anymore.

In life, sometimes it’s better not to know the truth.

“So I told you~ that Korea is better than Germany to live in, right?! In today’s internet era, you can draw anywhere! I even have a gallery, people?”

-Sounds like the leader helped him get into art school!

-It’s good to see you happy.

-There’s a gallery on the first floor of Wakamou. Loads to see there.

-What’s mainly there?

-Two Six Legged Beasts turned into living paintings after offending the leader.

-……Their titles?

“Oh, those people were human-rights-lacking criminals!! They reincarnated into incredible artworks that raise awareness for others by becoming representations of their own crimes!!”

-Damn it’s a psycho!!!!

-That’s the Adolf we know~

-If you don’t behave, do you become soap or something?

-Damn, that’s spicy lololol

-Didn’t Germany invest in you?

“Our lovely and adorable [Puhr Kirchein] friends!! Even if Nazi Germany was failing, they still poured money into useless places like Haunebu, Antarctica, or secret moon bases! Thanks to that, there are plenty of Nazi conspiracy movies to enjoy watching. Anyway, they always invested their money in weird places.”

-lol, if they had built a few more tanks, they could’ve lasted a few more weeks lol, you’re right lol

“Then nukes would have hit Germany too. Would have been nice. Wouldn’t have been born then! But not being born means not meeting Wakamou Führer, so actually lucky! Life’s unpredictable, you know! Plus, nukes not falling is better.”

-True, true.

-It wouldn’t just be Germany suffering.

-But do you call the leader Führer lololol

-Any issues with that?

-True.

“That’s because Japan holds the exclusivity of being the only nation nuked twice. When life gets better, rare titles need to stay rare to be meaningful. So look at me, rare people. I got into and then got rejected from art school, but the tower recognized me as a German artist. Collecting my cute Puhr Kirchein for a trip to France is my dream.”

-Pretty sure it’s a visit to France lol?

-Danzig or war.

-Mind seems Anschlused…

-Art school dropouts are dangerous; all artists miss 1939.

-Tour guideline is six weeks, right lol?

-Why is our fandom [SS], damn it, it was supposed to be the Fox Remembering!

-Is this right? Is this right?

-No, having a white dragon at a party is not even a problem compared to this lol

-Germany really made a demon this time….

-Once they did it, they do it well lol

“Thanks for coming to my first broadcast! I’ll sing for our cute Puhr Kirchein! It’s called 【99 Luftballons】, an iconic German song and a delightful pop song~”

-Wow lol

-Magical how German sounds like Korean lol

-As a climber, it’s fascinating to see something like this.

-What song is it about?

“This is a song from the peak of the Cold War during the East and West Germany separation. The lyrics about 99 balloons being mistaken for nuclear bombs sparking a war? It sarcastically likens the craze for war and being on the edge with nuclear bombs during the Cold War to those 99 balloons.”

-Why sing such a thing lol

-The melody is so upbeat, it’s hilarious lol

-I expected the white dragon’s presence to overshadow everything, but damn lol

-The sheer overwhelming presence, might be too much for the white dragon.

-Damn, how do you even beat this lol

-Mei’s broadcast has tanked.

-Really hit rock bottom.

Playing the electric guitar and singing joyfully and energetically into the mic, Adolf Lucia was mentally overloaded by viewers who couldn’t handle a German overarching anti-war song sung by a German person.

Of course, the song itself was a thrilling pop tune.

Meanwhile, Mei Xiao Long Bao’s broadcast epically crashed.

Complaining that there’s no difference from Wakamou’s broadcast and crying out on how to distinguish oneself, saying baaa!

*

Even if the body can be split into three, the concept of broadcasting couldn’t be split into three, resulting in a major disaster.

However, people noted that unlike Wakamou, she had lots of expressions and just seemed thrilled like a child, which made many viewers find her cute.

In the end, she became the least popular VTuber of the first generation.

Since she was just there to make up numbers, Wakamou didn’t care.

Instead, he wanted her to fail even more spectacularly.

Mei Xiao Long Bao, having flopped the broadcast this way, planned on encouraging Joseph Khan, whose red pill (?) was revealed.

“I consulted with the manager… So, I should deceive others by claiming my red pill is a dragon… and stick to the VTuber concept…?”

“That’s right. You can maintain a bit more mystique.”

“Hehe… that’s a relief… Someday, like the Virtual Live stages, I want to perform on a big stage… Then, would there be merchandise of my dragon doll?”

“Oh… do I also need to dance? I should start working out!! From today, I’ll exercise!!”

Although Olga Romanova had become oversized, she had to talk outside, but thanks to the coolness of the outdoors, loving the paintings Adelheid drew for her and the food Mei brought her.

Having turned into a giant dragon, yet upon hearing from the job description handed by Wakamou that she could gain a [Skill] to transform into a human by scaling the tower, Olga Romanova’s mentality had recovered enough to actively think about using her red pill to her advantage, dreaming big.

As for the giant computer created by buying points through faith…. it seemed like it could be repurposed into an art piece once she reverted to human size, so they decided to place it in the gallery.

“But then, if I can be summoned… could I reach the 50th floor while only climbing the first?”

“Oh─ would that be the case?”

Olga’s question sparked curiosity in Mei as she tilted her head, pondering the implications of it.

How would they reward you upon clearing it..? Even before that, wouldn’t transporting a climber who hasn’t even ascended the 10th floor be a problem?

“Why climb the tower! All we need to do is focus on VTubering~”

“But the identity of climbing VTubers… if we don’t use the dragon for tower climbing themes. Wouldn’t we be criticized for lacking sense?”

“You articulate your points so calmly, Olga….”

Knowing about VTuber means, ultimately, knowing about broadcasting well.

Seating down with Mei, Olga, informed her about all she learned about VTuber Broadcasts during her days serving as a soldier.

“The most important thing is… singing, so… practice hard, Mei.”

“….Yes….”

“Do it seriously. The broadcast was a mess… If you love VTubers, you must try harder?”

“That’s true….”

Each word was a striking fact, leaving Wakamou unable to retort.

Adelheid contemplated telling Olga that Mei was Wakamou but held her tongue.

The thought of using this for a broadcasting theme since it seemed fun crossed her mind.

Even for corporate VTubers, using each other as material was no different…!!

The cutthroat world where if you let your guard down, you get torn to shreds!!

Upset, Mei bit onto Olga’s claw with “nom-nom,” but Olga just found it cute and rubbed Mei against her cheek.

Holding both Adelheid and Mei in her arms, rubbing her cheeks, Olga enjoyed the luxurious happiness.

Seeing this, Wanda Haye remembered Olga’s fondness for bear plushies and quickly made her escape.
