“I can’t help it!! I just can’t!!”
The floating jewels in the corridor were automatically collected just by touching them.
Wakamou watched the display where the collected number was kindly written and thought about the various attempts the tower was making.
Due to the ruling of “Wakamou = Main Body” on the prison bars, Mei and Asuka, who were tied up by [Skill], along with Inari Fox Deity, were all crammed together in the small prison.
“Asuka… It’s difficult…. Breasts everywhere….”
-Please let me go in instead!!!
-Wedged perfectly between those thighs and chests.
-I want to dive in there.
-The density of flesh, ooh yeah…..
-I bet it’s sticky good…
Asuka, tangled up among the thighs of the Fox Deity, the chest of Wakamou, and Mei’s chest, complained that the experience felt like being a steamed bun.
Thinking back, Wakamou had never tried canceling the [Idol’s Lion] and when he asked, “Shall I cancel the skill?” both looked pale and rejected it.
“Suddenly losing consciousness, only to awaken somewhere else, ah─there was a power outage…. it’s bizarrely uncomfortable because there’s no pain!!”
“Maybe it’s the same feeling for familiar or summoned creatures. Asuka is full of worries.”
“It wasn’t something I wanted to hear…!!”
Such dreadful fantasies created a nightmare of thoughts they didn’t want to hear.
Wakamou calmed down the two lions who were excitedly thrashing about, promising that the summoning wouldn’t be undone except upon death.
“Ah…. It’s comfortable….”
Lucia, who had been knocked out, lay comfortably, snoring away as if she wouldn’t get such a chance again to sleep.
The mischievous five-floor tower was tougher than the 100-floor Kyoto tower, leaving Wakamou gasping for air.
Had he climbed alone, thinking it would be no big deal, Wakamou would have been killed meaninglessly by Peter Pan on the second floor!!
Up till now, the focus had been on pure power and the blend of skills, using only violence.
The third floor introduced a new challenge: [Clown], which no one knew how to kill, sealed away only with the intervention of [Artist] ─ Wakamou could guess that such complex gimmicks in monsters would continue to appear.
It seemed that the later arrival of climbers had a massive advantage, but with the recent rapid expansion of the tower, only the earlier climbers who had ascended and became stronger benefited.
Or is it entirely advantageous for them?
Even if Wakamou moves to the next floor, an unexpected surprise could appear.
No matter what, it wasn’t a climb he wanted to pursue.
‘Da─mn─’
Cursing sincerely inside, Wakamou could see how the tower had evolved significantly just from smashing through the 100-floor tower.
Man-eater and Idol had managed it, and soon other climbers would likely target the 100th floor.
There were already many climbers in South Korea challenging the 100-floor tower, so it wouldn’t be surprising if someone surpassed Wakamou to conquer it.
It became such that to avoid hindering Wakamou, laws were even passed for climbers to reset their progress in return for massive support and benefits from the climber association to visit other towers.
It was understandable that a law was passed, so Wakamou couldn’t say much…. but it was nerve-wracking thinking about what might appear when others challenge the 100-floor.
Turning someone’s equipment arbitrarily into clown costumes, breaking and provoking by stealing toys displayed at home, launching allies in a firing stance………
……..launching?
Locked up in prison, Wakamou watched his companions running diligently, searching for jewels throughout the maze.
Ichigo had collapsed, panting as her legs gave in, but the remaining three, being a karate expert, a special forces agent, and a former soldier, crossed the maze without a sign of exhaustion.
【Mystery Tower】 doesn’t heal you when you climb higher.
At this point, Wakamou was caught in a significant limitation where he absolutely couldn’t push himself.
Even against Peter Pan, Wakamou had extended time to recover mana, keeping the broadcast from becoming dull.
Although the clown’s fight lasted an hour, if the displayed skills hadn’t been amusing or funny, yawning wouldn’t have been a surprise.
─And now, the current Backroom maze seemed like a comedy show to the viewers, who were laughing…….
But Wakamou was tormented by the fear of having to start over if they failed..
Plus, who knew what would appear next, wasn’t it?
“Believers watching the broadcast!! How many are there now?! 190,000? Why so many???”
-Well, it’s a mystery tower strategy.
-I’m watching to write a thesis.
-New monster update viewing?
-To see the VTubers being overworked.
-Offers a taste you can’t see in modern entertainment.
-Shall we do a Dangerous Invitation? To commemorate the 1st anniversary?
-Send him flying in a flying chair.
-The leader Wakamou weighs over 200kg, can’t.
-That’s some rigorous research report, hahaha.
“──Believers!! Help me collect the jewels!!”
-Oh! Alright, alright!
-Can I cheer on from behind the screen?
-I’ll keep an eye on the fox so it doesn’t steal anything from the bag.
-But the leader is a fox, haha
-Ah, hahaha
-Children friends~ help Wakamou~
-Find the key for the imprisoned Wakamou?
“It’s participant time!!!”
-At last, the time has come.
-Just say the word.
-Let’s go! Fox Deity!
-Are you ready, little stream viewers?
-Absolutely, bro!
-Even in this moment, we’re all united.
-How many are you calling?
“Finding 100 needs 10,000!!!”
-A fox adventure in the backroom, haha
-Oh yeah, can’t resist the backroom, lol
-Link start!!!
Upon casting the [Channel with Audience Participation], lights gathered in the sky and cute [Fox Spirits] began pouring down in prison, their first appearance startling Pipkin Mami, but only for a moment.
Seeing the usernames written above the Fox Spirits, she grasped the situation and resumed running.
Startled pursuers halted at the endless sight of Fox Spirits.
The emergence of a Fox Tower made up of over 10,000 Fox Spirits had the pursuer writhing in shock.
“[Charge!!!]”
“[Let’s hit it!!]”
“[We are all one!!]”
Excited Fox Spirits, hopping around, started spreading out everywhere. As they couldn’t reach the jewels, they climbed on each other, touching the jewels to raise the count. The pursuer, unsure whom to chase among the foxes roaming the room excitedly, paused, looking around.
“[Wow, it’s a real backroom monster.]”
“[Let’s find out!!]”
“[Guys!! Hit them!!!]”
The Fox Spirits bared their mouths, chomping aggressively.
The bulk of Fox Spirits gathering and cramming up the narrow maze overwhelmed the [Pursuer]. Although Fox Spirits were weaker than a Goblin, even weaker than a [Honbunny], when 10,000 gather, it’s a different story.
Swarming and latching onto the pursuer without fear of death, despite their weak strength, sheer number clinging and thrashing had the pursuer waving its arms, killing dozens in an instant, but only exhausting themselves further.
Indeed, monsters have stamina!!
Of course, some monsters may be exceptions, but if an undead loses their bones or body, they’d collapse.
The pursuers swung silently to shake off the Fox Spirits, desperately trying.
They held a “force” strong enough to launch Wakamou in one blow, conjecturally “invincible” monsters.
Yet, for that very reason, they adhered to certain “rules,” the pursuers bound to the logic of pursuing everything present on the floor, starting with chasing 10,000 over Fox Spirits.
The Fox Spirits, having followed the VTubers, even carried Ichigo or Mare Pirate on them, reaching a point where the entire maze passage was filled with Fox Spirits. Finding only a hundred jewels was a moment’s matter.
Ding─!
[All jewels have been collected! All climbers will automatically be transferred to the 5th floor!]
The announcement echoed through the entire floor.
Left behind, the remaining Fox Spirits wondered about their fate but received no answer.
As the Wakamou party transitioned to the 5th floor, the souls residing in the Fox Spirits returned to their original bodies, gently giggling about being abandoned.
-Cast. Off. Script.
-As abandoned believers, thumbs-up, haha
-Uh? Isn’t it obvious for believers to be like that?
-Freakin’ guys, haha, but still, it was fun!!!
-Watching sure is enjoyable, lol
-So adorable when all huddled together, seriously cute!!
“We cleared it!!!”
“Huff.. Huff…”
Pipkin Mami, who’d barely averted the threat of revealing her red pill, shouted joyfully, and Joseph, who’d run with all his might, collapsed in place.
With Wakamou and Lucia, who had been stuck in prison, joining, all six were now together─ wondering where they were now as they began slowly looking around.
It was simply a broad rocky area.
Was there going to be a sudden appearance of a golem? Carefully, composedly surveying for monsters.
Anyone not a fool would have realized by now that the 【Mystery Tower】’s theme was 【Horror】.
The first floor had a horror of the gore genre, the second was a ruthless fairy tale, the third, something strangely many fear, a clown.
The fourth floor was literally a chase game against what was likely an unbeatable monster.
So what about the fifth floor? Wakamou intended to inform his companions as soon as he saw the information provided by the tower.
[You are climbing the 5th floor of the Mystery Tower]
-Defeat the ultra elite boss monster [Imagination Ghost]!
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
[Marshmallow Man?]
“Uh, um─ What comes to mind when you think of [Marshmallow Man]?”
“Ghostbusters?”
“Super Sonic 2 Master Emeralds?”
“Turning imagination into reality?”
“The boss’s name is [Imagination Ghost]…?”
Wakamou quietly informed his allies of the novel monster’s name, mystifying the team with its unfamiliarity.
Afterward, even the supposed [Platinum Achievement Conditions] seemed like a joke. Throughout the entire fifth floor!!
“No one think about anything!!! Something is trying to intrude into our minds right now!!!”
Then, Pipkin Mami, perceptive as an 『Esper』, urgently shouted, having a strong and sensitive willpower as she used telekinesis, she was first to notice the monstrous attempt to penetrate their minds.
With Wakamou’s explanation aligning, the conclusion formed was that it was a ghost-type monster appearing as the [form imagined by the climbers].
Ghost monsters appearing as what one fears most are quite common.
However, what if it fully transforms into the imagination of the climbers? Worst-case scenario, it might even replicate the [skills] the transformed form possesses.
If so, it would truly be an unprecedented catastrophe.
“Is everyone thinking about nothing?!”
At Mami’s shout, all the party members uneasily glanced at Asuka.
“Asuka has no brain.”
“It does look like it!”
Standing dazed without a thought, yelled Asuka’s trademark.
If it wasn’t her, then another might be the cause.
Instantly, as though coordinated, everyone turned to gaze at Mare Pirate, who showed a pouty face of innocence.
“I thought about nothing!! Seriously!!”
Nevertheless─ something began forming. A massive dark aura slowly took shape.
Its growing figure a sight everyone had to behold. The emergence of such a giant triggered a round of unexpected blame-shifting ─ if it wasn’t Mare Pirate or Asuka, then?
With Lucia knocked out standing asleep, Joseph earnestly pleaded he, too, had emptied his mind.
“If I had thought about VTubers, this place would have turned into hell!! Had it been that time-traveling detective or Asacoco, we’d be wiped out!!”
Wakamou defended, insisting something far worse would’ve appeared if it was him along with Mei.
Consequently, all parties naturally pinned on the team’s smartest friend who was surely innocent.
“….I couldn’t help it… It popped into mind naturally….”
Apologizing, shrugging her shoulders, was Ichigo.
If not her, then what had been imagined? Before they could even ask, the giant revealed itself.
“Wa─kya─pya─!!!”
A tremendously cute doll-like Wakamou let loose a mighty roar, raising its short arms high.
A lower half seemingly rooted to the ground, adorably small in appearance.
Ichigo’s face turning red, admitting guilt as the culprit, revealed her genuine feelings.
“I just imagined our boss becoming a cute little animal I could carry around…. But boss… You’re heavy!!!”
“Sorry for being so heavy…”
“As if being pierced by a unicorn wasn’t bad enough; now beaten by Peter Pan for being too old, and on top of that, an old hag for being heavy. Isn’t that too much, Ichigo?”
“I didn’t talk that far!!!!”
“Wakamou may get pierced by a unicorn!! But Asuka has no problem as a virgin, so frankly, she doesn’t really care.”
“Truly brainless”
Wakamou, unable to deny the valid (?) point of Asuka, internally lamented why the tower respected his concept for name and age but acknowledged his gender as male internally.
Wakamou had accepted as fate that being pierced by a unicorn would set the community ablaze.
Naturally, believers grasping that Ichigo was journeying with him concluded she couldn’t possibly be over a thousand years old still a maiden.
Rather, wouldn’t it be a sorrowful tale if she’s still unmarried despite being that old? Believers seeking Wakamou’s nurturing, calling out for ‘mama,’ got themselves worked up already accepting the unicorn truly regarded her as a mother.
Anyway, confronting such perverts was a problem for later.
Having convinced everyone through Asuka’s nonsensical assertions that she’s brainless.
“Wa──kya──pya──!!”
“What do we do with that?!!”
The massive, furry Wakamou, over 20 meters tall, raised its stubby arms high─ a comical sight, waving its seemingly useless short arms, had Joseph joyfully exclaim.
Though it appeared utterly non-threatening with no combat strength, its sheer size was already the weapon.
Even if they fled at full speed, its potential to chase them down if it tumbled and rolled was monumental!
“[Overspending is at fault!]”
“What?”
Uttering cryptic words, the fox-like Wakamou raised its foot… There was a foot.
Raising it high and then stomping hard, waves of fire surged with a Kwoosh!! sound spreading all around.
Was Wakamou, given its form, slightly stronger?
As the spreading flames were slashed by Mare Pirate, Joseph unfurled his wings, transforming into a dragon, soaring.
Entrusting the barely standing Lucia to Asuka, Wakamou and the rest charged at the giant cuddly Wakamou.
“Gagh”
Wakamou and Mei collapsed mid-charging.
“[It’s a Mana Drain]!!!”
At the feeling of Mana being relentlessly sucked, Mare Pirate shouted urgently.
The expected debuff skill of a [Ghost]-type monster being one that drains Mana left Wakamou, without even having battled, utterly without strength, draining mana rapidly, the shrinkage accelerating.
For Wakamou, already endowed with a large mana pool, the full power displayed by the fox-like Wakamou was meaningful.
Mimicking its complete form’s means of using fragments for mana recovery, emulating its original tactical(?) approach.
“A暂停ariaДД!! Arrivederci!!”*
(*Note: This is a play on foreign words with a nonsensical mix of languages)
“What exactly does Ichigo think of the boss usually?!!”
Seeing the utterly nonsensical fox-like Wakamou, ready to swing one huge arm through [Model Adjustment], Mare Pirate paused amid moving her skill.
[[Imagination Ghost]’s [Skill Limitation] prevents use of [Shape-shifting] skill!]
Due to the [skill yoke] of [Imagination Ghost], the “Shape-shifting” skill is prohibited!
“What am I supposed to do if you take that away from me!!”
Mare Pirate, in a state of panic, reluctantly drew two swords from her waist and charged, slashing ferociously. Despite her relentless effort to slash what she assumed was a body, she wasn’t sure if the damage was effective since Joseph Khan was somehow absorbing and healing from Wakamou, causing Mare Pirate to let out a roar of frustration.
“We can’t use [Mana Drain] consecutively, so finish him off in the gap!!!”
“Okay!!”
Jiang Yeoul, who had been recovering Mana alongside Mei, stood up abruptly.
[Imagination Ghost disables the [Body of the Idol] skill!]
“Huh?”
Then Wakamou and Mei collapse forward as if their strings were cut.
Although it was a skill continuously in play and could be considered a [Passive Skill], it ultimately remained a skill!
There was no unfortunate incident of reverting to a man the moment it was sealed, nor were any other skills nullified.
Reaching the point where the skill that allowed Wakamou to move and fight was unusable, Wakamou could do nothing except lie there like a statue.
“In such a state─!! Everyone!! Watch closely!! My ultimate move acquired from the 100-floor Kyoto Tower─ Dragon…..”
“South African Clay!”
A cute cat’s mouth opened, and the tongue that shot out wrapped around Joseph Khan.
The huge white dragon, never having been subjected to such an absurd attack in his life, tried to freeze the tongue, but it stretched like rubber, snagged Joseph Khan by the head, and slammed him into the ground and against all the rocks around, hurling him around.
Everyone looked with stunned expressions at Joseph Khan, disappearing into the sky as a star.
“Why did you imagine your boss’s tongue could grow and stretch freely?!”
“……..”
“Answer me, Senior Rookie!!”
“Just kill me!!!”
Hajime Ichigo, overwhelmed with shame and wanting to die, curled up on the ground and sobbed.
“What kind of taste is this, married furry hardcore lesbian…..”
“No, it isn’t!!!”
Agitated by Aoi Asuka’s comment, Hajime Ichigo jumped up in fury. But without anyone to stop her, the gigantic fox Wakamou was still rampaging, concentrating Mana into her short arms to create a gigantic orb of light.
“The power of Christmas!”
“Ahhh”
When the thrown Mana orb hit the ground, a massive explosion occurred, sending pillars of light soaring skyward.
The group scattered, running at full speed to avoid the mana bombardment raining down, screaming as they did.
There was no pandemonium like it. The main Wakamou appeared to be pitching a sun at them, while the massive fox Wakamou used her short arms to form and hurl either Mana spheres!
A gigantic fox that pursued an utterly brute-force fighting style!
“Oh! Nice!”
“Do you think of me as some old man holed up in my room, Ichigo?!”
“I’m telling you, I’m not!!!!”
– What’s with that broken radio lol
– Seriously, they’re all just saying random stuff lmao
– Wakamou as Ichigo imagines him.
– So this is what they call a generation gap~
“Don’t underestimate me──!!!”
Skill sealing isn’t permanent, after all.
By casting [Shape-shifting] and combining it with [Werebeast] and [Model Adjustment],
Mare Pirate transformed into a colossal, 10-meter tall deer monster, roaring as she landed on the ground.
Crash! The ground shook and trembled, along with the immense fox Wakamou who quivered like pudding.
“Navy Karate!!!”
Mare Pirate clenched her fist and punched at her body, only for her fist to sink smoothly into Wakamou with a “plop”.
“Oh, it’s soft.”
“No way…! Was that enormous bulk all fur?!”
Although she jabbed up to her elbow, Mare Pirate felt no sensation of striking flesh, blinking in surprise, while Mami was shocked, recalling that cats or dogs often deceived with fur size.
“No! You’re wrong! It’s the touch of the captain’s chest…!! An astounding level of detail… Ichigo! How much did you fumble with it!!”
“Is this some kind of murder scene?”
– It’s beyond harsh…
– How does the captain even know lol
– You can recall it even with eyes closed.
– A chest you’ve fumbled a million times…!! It can be fully reproduced!
– Impressive, Alchemist!! You’ve done the impossible!!!
“Waaah!!! Waah!!!”
Overcome by excessive shame, Ichigo finally burst into tears and collapsed.
While some have cried out of emotion during broadcasts, this… this is…
Aoi Asuka decided just to let her cry it out.
“Let’s think positively. Use this as an excuse, and let’s ask Master to sleep together tonight, too?”
“Shall we?”
– As expected, Asuka is persuasive.
– The words of a super AI are powerful!
– What’s with that immediate smile?
– Yes, Ichigo… You are top-tier…!!
– Same as always, even after watching for over a year!!!
– No growth at all….
“Oryaaah!!!!”
Whether they’re doing a skit on the side or not, Mare Pirate continued her desperate battle.
Grabbing tufts of fur and pouring a barrage of punches on the soft, yielding flesh, yet the giant fox Wakamou flexibly wobbled in a teasing manner, being softer than a water balloon and springier than pudding, with a warmth that made Mare Pirate want to sink her hands forever, eroding her fighting spirit.
Particularly now, seeing it open its mouth wide with a dumb, vacant expression, made her lose her mind further.
But was it weak?
“Jeonbuk! Iksan!”
As it cried out some bizarre and nonsensical chant, Mare Pirate hesitated in her relentless assault.
“…..I don’t know what that is, but take this!!!”
Without stopping, she punched it again, and in response, Fox Wakamou swung her short arm sharply sideways.
“Celestial Desolation Fist──!!”
“Wait a sec, suddenly using a proper technique?!”
— beep —
Between the short arm and Mare Pirate, a black spot appeared and immediately expanded into a sphere.
Hit directly by the sudden shockwave, Mare Pirate was launched backward, blood spurting from the deep indentation in her chest as she flew through the air and crashed to the ground.
Mare Pirate, the toughest among the group, instantly shrank and hung her head.
The colossal fox Wakamou overwhelmed Mare Pirate with a single strike!
“Hey, she’s using something their main body can’t even use!!!!”
Condensing and expanding Mana to create a shockwave… Wakamou, who had inadvertently learned a new move, couldn’t stop his amazement.
Starting from Mana Drain to the Idol Body Skill seal, to the superior skill utilization beyond the main body… It inspired admiration as a fellow Mana ghost(?).
More importantly, was it okay for such a crude mascot-like fake to be stronger than the main body?
“[Dragon Breath]──!!!!”
Joseph Khan, on the descent, unleashed a breath attack as he fell from the sky.
“Randolph Mouth Bazooka!!”
“What is that?!”
The team, including Ichigo, who summoned golems to hurl rocks in support, was swept back by the impact from the marbled [Mapo] shot from Wakamou’s mouth.
The intense heat wave, almost akin to radiation emission, easily overwhelmed the dragon’s breath, slicing through the sky and scorching clouds, unmatched in output no matter what, as Joseph Khan twisted his entire body in an attempt to resist by squeezing Mana, yet was just about to be swept away.
“[Psychic Ball]!!”
Mami, who maximized the size of the telekinetic sphere, swung a baseball bat at the sparking black sphere and sent it flying towards the fox.
Since it wasn’t a simple physical attack, the beast fox Wakamou haltingly stopped the [Mapo], judging it to be a threat.
“He can’t dodge that bulk!!”
“This movement… Mutou Hawaii!”
“Huh?”
Using a clone, the fox Wakamou slid sideways, covering tens of meters to effortlessly dodge the hurled sphere.
Seeing this, Mami laughed madly while whimpering at the same time. No matter what, there should be limits. Using evasion techniques with that enormous body wasn’t something anyone could speak of!
The fact it took the form of Wakamou made the absurdities more understandable, which only compounded her frustration.
“Kingkima Si!”
Charging at Mami with reckless abandon, using sheer power, Wakamou’s alteration exhibited a senseless attack style as the Fox Wakamou spun like a top, alongside spewing [Mapo] from its mouth, hurling Mana spheres with both hands, and creating waves of flame as it leapt around.
Inari Fox Deity, who had gone to retrieve Mare Pirate, sighed in relief, witnessing what was basically the resurrected beast of destruction.
At least the Kyoto Tower didn’t lose to such a thing…
“Attacks don’t connect!!”
“Too large!!!”
Hovering in the air with Lucia and Ichigo in her arms, Aoi Asuka cast [Juju] but it didn’t work.
Hajime Ichigo kept firing and throwing in her attempts… but the size difference was too much…
The colossal 20-meter entity, demonstrating Aoi Asuka-like speeds with evasive movements, employing clone techniques, using both hands to throw Mana bullets, spewing [Mapo] from its mouth, all while flaming with every step—Which fearless boss monster could ever conquer it?
Even the actual Wakamou, unable to approach easily from fear of skill sealing, watched in a daze.
It blatantly targeted their weaknesses, pinning them down unilaterally, almost like sucking out Wakamou’s soul.
Eventually, although it might spark controversy… an idea struck Wakamou.
“[Job Exclusive Skill—【Viewer’s Participation Channel】]”
“[?]”
“[What is it? Why use this?]”
Seeing the skill used while observing, and despite not understanding the situation, a window appeared, which was clicked on, bringing three Fox Spirits to Wakamou’s presence.
Wakamou then grabbed the Fox Spirits and elevated them.
As Mana was breathed into them, the viewers noticed and began to laugh.
“Stake your lives on this operation. The more lives we wager, the greater our reward and future! Each Believer’s life is dedicated to the future of the other followers!!!”
“[Pardon?]”
– Target, right 30 degrees! Distance 200! Commence attack!
– Fire! Charge!
– It’s showtime, South Polaris Human Cannonball!
– The blazing 『Triumph of Reason』…!
– Hmm, it was a necessary sacrifice.
– Not me!! Anyone Else!!!!!
– Goodness, a human cannonball!”
“Forgive me, Believers! Right now, you are [Mana Burn Mortar]!”
After carefully handing knives to the Believers as they understood their mission, they nodded without hesitation.
“To all fans who’ve cheered me on!! It’s time for me to receive in return!! Go─!! Wakamou’s Ultimate Move!!! 【Mana Burn Believer Barrage】!!”
– Believer’s rights don’t matter!!!
– Die for the Idol…!!
– Is this the Idol’s strength…?
In a rapid motion, a Believer was fired and smoothly entered the gigantic fox Wakamou’s mouth.
Willingly stabbing themselves with the enchanted knife─ the fuller Mana induced a grand explosion within the Believer.
Fox Wakamou, emitting light from its eyes and mouth, writhed in pain.
“There’s one shot left.”
“[Please say at least that there’s one person left.]”
“Thank you, Believer…. I’ll give you a ticket for the 1st anniversary….! Front row!!”
“[For Earth, I shall sacrifice myself!! A ready Believer!! Here I go!!]”
“Go──!! Disappear along with the sinister Mystery Tower!!!”
Another Believer slipped into the mouth─
With a deafening explosion, engulfed in flames, Wakamou’s beast was thrashing violently.
“My body is in tatters──!!”
Even as she burned and shrieked, Wakamou’s beast, bizarrely and grotesquely, began emanating light before eventually exploding.
Undoubtedly, the Wakamou imagined by Ichigo was a baffling creature, occasionally saying strange things…
With tears flowing from sadness, Wakamou used the lone remaining Believer to dab away his tears.
“Sniff.”
Never forgetting to clean the other side too, he picked a Believer in his hand and wiped them dry.
The Believer, held like a doll, lay limp with an absent-minded expression, her belly exposed.
– LOL
– Haha
– This ridiculousness until the very end lol
– It’s soft enough to be perfect as a handkerchief…
[The Mystery Tower has been cleared!]
[You’ve been rewarded with a very mysterious and unique item!]
[Wakamou Inarizushi obtains the "Exclusive Item" [Glory of the Idol]!]
“What?”
Hold on, Mystery Tower.
Did you just… say Wakamou exclusive item?
Oh my….Is this… the long sought-after… my very own exclusive item…?
With astonished eyes, he examined the sphere in his hand… should he call it a fox orb, given that a fox held it?
After inspecting the glowing sphere, he verified its item information.
[Glory of the Idol]
Grade: Unique.
Requirement: Idol Exclusive Item.
It is an item imbued with the Glory of the Idol.
Grants effects to the entire country that worships the Idol.
[Worshipping Country: Russia, China, South Korea].
All Recovery Speed +25%.
All Disease Resistance +25%.
All Mental Resistance +25%
Effects doubled when installed at a specific location.
“Crazy! It’s the best, Mystery Tower!!!!”
“Is it better than Kyoto Tower?!”
“No, not quite.”
“Oh ho.”
– Oh, really.
– It’s a round of applause if Wakamou can’t win against his spouse.
– Look at him laughing despite saying it’s better lol
– As expected, Leader, flirting pro.
– So what item is it, exactly?
Although it wasn’t as valuable as the front-row ticket provided by the Inari Fox Deity.
Wakamou smiled, believing with this, more people could be healthy and happy─ and hence, more people would watch VTuber Broadcasts.
Beyond merely stabilizing emotional balance… when people have leisure and happiness, they can enjoy their hobbies…..
When there are healthy minds and healthy bodies, wouldn’t you want to fill your heart?
When society is peaceful, normal, and sturdy─ that’s when more people watch VTuber Broadcasts!!
Mulling over VTubers he knew who lived through struggling times, Wakamou swallowed hard his emotions.
As the country prospers with resources from the tower!! Increasing job opportunities!! Then even housing costs go down(?) And then the birth rate rises(?).
Eventually, this would ultimately lead more people to watch VTuber Broadcasts!!
World peace equals an increase in VTuber viewership!!
But then Wakamou noticed some countries audaciously did not worship an Idol like himself.
“….Right… I am the Idol….”
“……”
“I am the God of the New World…!! I must claim Japan as my own!!”
“….Indeed, humanity is entertaining….”
Having put Russia, China, and South Korea’s leaders in place, couldn’t Wakamou also do the same for the Prime Minister of Japan?!
With his mind flipped, Wakamou discarded any rational thought.
Offering health to the followers!! Happiness to the nation!!!
──And so, more VTuber viewers…!!
“Hehehe…”
“…Isn’t that crazy?”
Watching the slyly grinning Wakamou, Mami trembled in fear.
Has it begun…..the Idol’s ambition for human conquest…!! The conspiracy…!!
