Chapter 149

[Author: Baekhwa-ryeong]

[Title: It Was an Indescribable Episode]

The Leader’s VTuber theories are mind-blowing every time.

It’s no wonder Ichigo sees the Leader as a cute creature.

Rising up the China Tower through turrets, what the Leader showed us.

Destroying the demon who kidnapped and brainwashed people.

The Sapa’s Mei won.

She even used sanctity—already a god, isn’t she?

Anyway, the birth of the Ultimate Thing!!

– Kidnapped kids, got super pissed, climbed to 10th floor LOL

– Mujon caught unprepared.

– Shorts of China Tower getting wrecked are savage.

– But where did the Leader get the Yeo-Ui from, WTF LOL

ㄴGot it from…an elevator, yep….

ㄴMaybe it was sent by a god. Don’t you know the Immortals?

ㄴWhite Myth: When’s the Mei game coming out?

ㄴSun Wukong from Journey to the West is actually our Leader, got it?

ㄴSeeing what they do, it’s kind of similar.

[Title: Let’s Learn About the Ultimate Lifeform Mei]

The complete being Mei has achieved by realizing sanctity!

First, invincible!

Second, never ages!

Third, never dies!

Fourth, encompasses the abilities of all biological beings and even surpasses them! Plus, its form is as beautiful as a Greek sculpture!

Sleep – Unnecessary.

Reproduction – Unnecessary. The lower an animal, the more offspring it has. Great risk of death. Therefore, a complete lifeform requires no descendants or companions. At the pinnacle, there’s only one.

Biological Purpose – Other beings leave ‘species.’ But she creates the world as she pleases.

What a terrifying existence…Woops!

-Why is this real, damn…

-Chief Araki! Do something!!

-Surely Chief Araki sealed it, LOL

-Multiplying believers, making the world peaceful, for VTuber Broadcast…

ㄴShouldn’t we need a VTuber Welfare Act by now?

The world was bustling today as well.

The rest of Wakamou Corporation were just living normally, doing VTuber broadcasts.

The only one who caused trouble was Sadako, but Wakamou was too exhausted to reprimand her for being inactive for five days, so she let it go.

From Germany, struggling, Sadako carried Wakamou across the globe.

Would’ve been easier if she used “My Worlds” or “Wakamou 1st Floor Entrance,” but she made her reflect on it as punishment.

“Ze-haha!! Boss!! What do you think of me, who trained to lift casks and drink!!”

Of course, Sadako laughed cheerfully saying one Wakamou wasn’t even heavy.

Thought about increasing [Weight of Faith], but realized it would be tormenting, so stopped.

‘Ugh──’

[Idol’s Body] became unusable due to [Overload].

When a function stops, what happens? For now, no matter how, moving the Idol’s Body was impossible.

But could still use other [Skills], and it felt like death wouldn’t come even if mana hit zero in this state.

Conversely, freed from mana constraints, the mana level skyrocketed, staring with a silly expression.

Could this be leveraged later if used well? Sitting on the floor, could use an instant KO move like a Northern Fist.

Conversely, without constraints, thoughtlessly using the ever-recovering mana resulted in [Idol’s Body] overload, feared it might explode if not withstood.

Surely, that would be too rough….

Don’t see much difference between fighting after drinking Elixir and directly using [King Kai Fist]─!!

Is it the difference between mana not reaching zero, being fixed, and recovering amounts compensating?

Anyway, Mei and Wakamou spent five days listlessly lying on the bed.

Regardless of Adelheid and Olga providing meals, preventing bedsores by feeding or turning them over out of kindness.

As for Zero Parasite, knowing Wakamou never utters nonsense, let them rest lying down.

Only dusted the place where figures and goods were stored to prevent accumulation.

Wouldn’t go anywhere, so With Liu Ying using that reason, often came to hug and nap or sleep together.

When Asuka and Fox Deity tried to occupy that space to tease, glared with the world’s most hateful expression….and teasing for such a reaction was also a problem.

[Case of Xiao Liang] with Liu Wei decided to work on restoring the Sichuan province and cleaning up [Martial Arts World].

Didn’t even care but steadily reaching 84th floor, Xiao Liang kept steadily receiving rewards, seems got additional rewards during [Korean Tower’s Territory Announcement] period.

[Mujon] ended up imprisoned as a cripple unable to fight further.

If hadn’t fought with intent close to killing, wouldn’t have stood a chance.

With [Exclusive Skill] and [Exclusive Weapon], who would have thought would use something like [Demonic Art] that siphons life of climbers……

Does it mean the higher the tier, the closer to 【God】? Certainly, Mujon Yao Fang’s form at the last moment felt infinitely distant from human.

The sensation felt while fighting was….close to an [Apostle].

Wasn’t he perhaps [Apostle of China Tower] for that single moment?

Really chilling. Hiding an ace like [Magi] till then.

Naturally, held back some aces here too. Almost died from mistake but isn’t it fine since we won!!

‘Got a bunch of Tower Coins from Korean Tower, should buy something…..’

After feeling fresh pain in a while, the fatigue was no joke.

Had a sense need to categorize how to avoid damage from [Mind] attacking systems.

──How did things get tangled this way just by climbing the tower to bus the heir?

But there’s no regret.

Kids, are precious. At least people deserve freedom if not causing harm to others.

‘……..’

After closing eyes and reopening them, much time had passed.

Did I sleep…? This lethargic sensation from exhaustion….how long has it been since I last felt it.

If addicted, it could be a problem. The sensation of limbs losing strength felt weirdly pleasant like entering a hot spring.

‘This isn’t bad…..’

Watched VTuber broadcasts while reviewing the recent battle in mind without needing to do anything.

The newly acquired [Sanctity] doesn’t link with all the skills of 【Idol】 class.

Even if [Basic Energy] was used in martial arts or kungfu, [Sanctity] felt like applied as a coating, that was the limit.

If stretched long, it dispersed quickly and holding form was tough. Needed continuous mana supply to maintain form.

Similar sensation like the [Light] in [VTuber Asset].

Still, now free from the tiresome weakness like [Mana Burn]─the number of tactics greatly increased.

‘Next time…can leverage it…’

Upon reopening eyes, Asuka was staring closely.

“You’re awake, patient. It’s the year 2564.”

“Did our dragon Kiryu make a comeback…?”

“No idea. But Dragon Ball Super General Sparking Deluxe Final ZZ has been released.”

“Oh, gotta buy that too…”

Wakamou, thinking the body would be stiff, rose more intact than expected and lightly stretched shoulders.

SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMVNGWnRhcWFEVWZvZUc0bTNudHYyWA

While Wakamou looked at Asuka, though there was some noise, shared the good news about Inari Fox Deity succeeding in becoming Japan’s Prime Minister.

In true sense, the complete [East Asian Alliance] was born.

News showed presidents of Russia and South Korea, Chinese secretary, Japanese prime minister gathering, sharing handshake and speeches for future peace.

The world likened it to a nation-wide united [America] born in East Asia at a historic moment.

Believers of Wakamou watching remarked how all four parties involved were associates of Wakamou Corporation, giving them a silly epithet of 【Hidden Mastermind(笑)】.

Though doing VTuber broadcasts for cover, crazy conspiracy theories emerged asserting their true goal was to brainwash people to conquer the world.

When asked Robert on the matter, dismissed the absurd rumor by laughing heartily.

Reassured wouldn’t become foreshadowing (or anything).

“I am the brain of Wakamou Corporation! Sharp! Intelligent! Wakamou Inarizushi here.”

-Leader, welcome LOL

-Clear up the after-broadcast done.

-You might get dissected if asking for an explanation, my friend.

-But Mujon pissed us off.

-Smacked it right LOL

-Kids kidnapped? Killed? Leader flipped.

-Real funny seeing sanctity open, then fell ill and rolled into bed.

-Didn’t know the Leader could fall ill…..

-Seeing in bed was a tad heart-wrenching.

-Glad you’re healthier.

-If Leader falls, the four countries collapse.

-While the Virtual Live has the White Fox as pillar, we’re the Black Fox pillar.

-Between White Fox and Black Fox, who does the job better?

-Ask that and Black Fox will kill you thinking White Fox was insulted.

-Oh god, now it’s a horror story.

“Today’s broadcast─! A fan asked for a challenge broadcast in the fan cafe!! Brought it for easy content.”

-Ah LOL

-The Leader’s honesty unbeatable.

-anything done is appreciated LOL

-Schedule is busy as is!!!!

-You’ve been keeping up with VTuber broadcasts though.

-Can’t stop even when sick…really why?

-Like not being able to stop bating around.

-I’m a girl, though.

-Spare me.

-But I kind of get it.

-What now.

-What are we saying.

“Hey, don’t chat amongst yourselves! Recently seems lively whenever you’re together, upset?”

-How about showing off the Leader’s Prince’s Sword.

-Hey, mad language play.

-This guy got banned instantly LOL

-Today, we farewelled a hero…

-Gave great laughter…well done!

“Now─ today’s challenge! Drawing random topics from the box!! 0th Gen VS 1st Gen!! Picking [Challenge Subjects], today’s VTuber broadcast’s theme is a competition between them. If doing a collaboration always results in a mess, let’s just have them fight from the start.”

“Naturally, the judge is Wakamou.”

“Mei Xiao Long Bao here.”

-What about descendants.

-Really just twins.

-Mei Alter LOL

-How is the descendant a boss of Dark Society….

-Confession possible? Can it work?

-How many did you give birth to!!

“Quiet!! Did I even know I had descendants!! They’ll grow big like Wakamou in about 10,000 years!!”

“Stop revealing ages.”

-Made it about 10 times smaller, really tiny.

-Similar feeling of cutting 10 years~

-For 10,000 years, Leader’s quite young.

-Hey, then it’s back to Neolithic Age.

-That’s why Leader played that game well~

-Ah LOL

Didn’t even try to hide the descendants stuff, just incorporated it into roleplay. Xiao Liang felt like using her life as a stepping stone for Wakamou’s VTuber life, which was quite painful to think about. Gave her Mujon’s weapons and items, an organization, enrolled her into school to become the next successor of Liu Wei, taught her [Skills]…planned to do it all.

Even Liu Wei commented on being harsh saying Mei was more intense, watching Xiao Liang grumble through 12 grueling school schedules lent by Madam Mei.

But isn’t attending many schools “standard practice” if you’re Korean?

Even Liu Ying being slightly fearful of being raised that rigorously hid behind Liu Wei.
She could even hide behind it.

But she said she’s your daughter! Our Liu Ying! How could you do that to your mom!

“Boss, you and Mei, why do you look so sad?”

“Because our Ichigo has hit puberty…”

“Raising a daughter is meaningless…”

“Our mom would be ashamed of her daughter who went from an elite student to a special forces VTuber.”

“If I tell this brat to quit, he’s really going to quit.”

“Damn, was I found out?”

Meanwhile, Pipkin Mami clicked her tongue saying it was a shame as she eyed an opportunity. Contrary to her unnecessarily sparkling eyes and cute face, her sharp wit had the viewers bursting into laughter.

Seeming to have finished preparations, the 0th and 1st generations stood in line, excluding Mei and Wakamou.

Ichigo, Pirate, and Asuka from the 0th generation formed a team, while Joseph, Adolf, and Pipkin were on the 1st-generation team.

Jiang Yeoul brought and laid down the box.

-Where did the manager go?

-The leader didn’t want to get scolded for causing trouble, so they brought a panda as a gift instead.

-Caught on the zoo’s real-time video.

-Manager… that’s not the way to go…

Normally, the manager should have been helping, but she was busy playing with the baby panda and bear at the zoo now.

Having to make the manager happy with her work, yes.

Anyway, the collaboration finally began, and Ichigo strode toward the box.

“Ichigo!! Please, pull out something normal!”

“Show us the Emperor’s luck!”

Accidentally becoming the leader of the 0th generation, Ichigo nervously reached into the box and fumbled around.

What emerged was the [One Chip Challenge]. When the paper with the challenge was shown on the screen, Pipkin Mami broke out in a cold sweat.

“Oh─ I heard that was discontinued… because there were accidents of people dying from eating it?”

“Jackson brought 10 boxes.”

“Oh, that fucking Negro. Not helping at all.”

-Hahaha

-Hahaha

-Hahaha

-I’m so scared!!

-Seeing that blunt remark to his face, haha

-(Important) They’re really close.

-I hear they often meet because they’re both from the U.S.

-The cop and criminal duo… a white woman and a black man…

-Said they dislike him because he’s ugly.

-Don’t mess with Jackson’s sensitive heart!!!

-Jackson doesn’t need a woman like that.

-Jackson calls it Dixie. It’s similar to the term Yankee.

A box was handed to Ichigo, whose face turned bleak.

The competition was to see which team could eat all the chips first. Ideally, each person would have a box, but even if the climber was sturdy, it could lead to a sore throat, preventing them from doing song broadcasts, so they decided to have just one.

Holding up a single jet-black nacho chip with a Scoville scale of 2.2 million were Ichigo and the spiciest-eating Pipkin Mami from the 1st generation, who was pushed out with a nudge.

“No way! Are these the people adding the worst last names from Germany and Russia teaming up for this?! Is it because I’m American? I’m upset, okay?!”

“There’s no spicy food in Russia… I can’t even drink vodka…”

“Do I look strong enough to eat that?”

Joseph and Adolf stared at her with a really troubled expression, making Mami realize why she was chosen.

“Damn, now I see it was a brutally reasonable choice. Phew… May the guardian deity of America who shares the blessings of yard and pound… give me strength…!”

“Does the spirit give strength to non-Native Americans?”

“Well, a DNA test showed I’m 1% African descent?!”

“Did you do the mouth-swab one?”

“Want to fight?”

Fuming at Adolf’s relentless questioning, Pipkin Mami wore a sincerely annoyed expression, pouting with her lips. While Wakamou and Mei looked at her with pity, Mami was mustering up the courage to put it in her mouth.

Meanwhile, on the 0th-generation side.

“You can do it! You can do it! Living in Korea for a year is long! You can eat a lot of spicy stuff!!”

“Asuka has no intention to eat, so please finish it all! Remembering Sichuan when talking about Yu Bee!!”

“……Oh well!!”

Mustered courage to pop it into her mouth, chomping and munching without hesitation.

Seeing Ichigo attempt that, Mami watched her with a look of pity… and placed down the snack.

“Ah, Mami gave up rather quickly. Does she have no interest in the first prize?”

“It’s Wakamou’s wish ticket, and she just wastes it like that.”

When commentator Wakamou and Mei lamented the lack of fun honestly, Mami turned back with a look of ‘Was there such a reward?’

Joseph and Adolf looked at her with shock, like, did she really not see the announcement?

“Nom!”

Immediately using telekinesis to swoosh! and shoved it into her mouth, Mami. Both of them put the chip in their mouths and swallowed it with a gulp.

Enduring without mindlessly thrashing thanks to the stubborn climber skills, a bowl filled with milk was placed in front of them.

The one who holds out longer wins!

“Hold out longer to get another one~”

Mami dunked her face into the milk bowl.

“Pwahaak!!”

Spewing milk wildly from her nose and mouth, lying on the floor in a fit.

“Ahchoo!! Ahchoo!! It’s burning, it’s burning!!!”

Help!! Seriously, help me!! Pipkin Mami desperately yelled, rolling roughly on the floor.

Seeing her, Ichigo wondered if she was okay, as the Mare Pirate carefully handed her milk and asked.

“….Ichigo, are you okay?”

“Seeing an adult’s shame makes my face blush, so I guess I’m okay.”

Before she knew it, maybe she got accustomed to Sichuan food.

Each time Liu Wei came, sharing the delicious dishes seemed to have helped significantly.

And so, they began by dragging the heroic Pipkin Mami who perished magnificently at the outset, and Adolf came out instead.

In order to overcome the disadvantageous 0:1 situation, he chose and drew a paper carefully.

“Ah! The next topic is [Word Matching]! Guess the word floating above your head!”

Soon, the word [Monkey] floated above Ichigo’s head, and [Unemployed] above Adolf’s.

-This choice of words seems a bit malicious, doesn’t it?

-Hahaha

-All humans are made in the image of monkeys. All gods are shaped like humans…

-Can you explain this, though?

In a speed quiz, you mustn’t give direct hints!

Physical demonstrations were also forbidden, and the game started with them taking turns asking questions back and forth.

As if confident, Asuka raised her hand high.

“When our alcoholic doesn’t return all night after drinking, what comes to mind?”

“Wanting to see them?”

“Asuka is trash. Please proceed to dispose.”

With Ichigo’s pure remark at the start, Asuka collapsed, her legs giving way.

Pipkin Mami’s lips were bright red as she struggled over what to say, in stark contrast to the warm 0th generation.

“Um… what was your job a year ago?”

“An artist.”

“No, seriously! Be honest!”

“An oncology patient? An abandoned orphan? A beggar? Factory defect? Aspiring Hitler?”

“I didn’t go that far.”

-What do you do about the temperature gap? LOL

-See Joseph keeping his mouth shut LOL

-It’s about reading the room, isn’t it? Russia indeed.

-Do something! LOL

-What’s the real intention behind the last remark LOL

-Please stop just that!!!

In a grievously somber mood for 1st generation, Mami calmed her fiery insides with milk.

As the opportunity returned to Mare Pirate, she began pondering.

“Uh… uh… look at the leader’s new figurine, checking out the underwear color like a pervert, animal sound noise when excited!!”

“…..”

“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything!! You already got the answer didn’t you!!! Don’t avert your eyes!!”

Pipkin’s sharp question brought to mind a chimpanzee. Or was it a gorilla…?

Almost saying monkey without realizing, Ichigo avoided Pirate’s gaze.

Seeing how naturally it came to this, in came Joseph, lost in thought.

I have to do comedy here… I can’t let this end being anonymous so I have to deliver a funny joke.

But with self-doubt gnawing, 1st generation… with the ties through chance, asked about the bond in camaraderie!!

“Uh… uh… the unmissable common point of 1st generation!”

“We’re all former unemployed?”

-LOL the gap between reality LOL

-See Joseph keeping his mouth shut LOL

-Reading the atmosphere is indeed a Russian trait.

-Do something! LOL

-What’s the actual intent behind the last statement LOL

-Please stop at least just that!!!

In a despairingly dreary atmosphere for 1st-generation. Mami purged her burning insides with milk.

As the chance rolled back to Mare Pirate, she started to strategize.

“Uh… uh,,, Act.. like… checking out the new figurine, observing the underwear color like a degenerate, loudly animal sound squealing when getting excited!!”

“…..”

“Hey, man, why ain’t you saying anything!! You already have the answer in your head, right!!! Don’t look away!!”

Pipkin’s sharp question made an image of a baboon spring up in his head. Or perhaps a gorilla…

Ichigo almost slipped out the word ‘monkey,’ and shifted her gaze away from Pirate.

Seeing that lead naturally to this turn, baffling Ichigo, prompting Joseph into contemplation.

Here, comedy must be attempted… Even though I’m aware of my own faltering, a jolly jape has to be tossed…

But owning to lack of self-confidence, binding with 1st generation… insights on kinship must be probed!

“Uh.. Uh… an unignorable commonality among 1st generation!”

“Are we all ex-unemployed?”

Seeing through the contrasting view that this guy was also an ex-employer quitting to be jobless, reality’s cruelty laid bare as Joseph shut his eyes tight.

All of 1st-gen shared being in their 20s, having been in the working world, hence commonality aside from quitting a job!

“1 to 1! That’s great.”

“But is this making them grow closer at all? Where are the ties or friendships across generations?”

-Friendship?

-What’s kinship, something to eat?

-Reading top to bottom, it fits as a milk sign.

-Oh, is that so!

-Look at Ichigo evading eyes LOL

-Can’t afford to lose more affinity with the leader…

“Round 3! [No Reaction]! It’s straightforward. If anyone, including teammates, laughs or gets angry, that’s it!”

“Ah, this is more challenging than expected.”

Even going up against AI deity VTuber Asuka. Joseph Khan stepped up, but─ it’s a robot-like entity with no emotions whatsoever.

If laughter erupts, it must make them laugh, Ichigo or Pirate. As one who’s been trained to remain unemotional.

For laughter, witty humor directed at Ichigo was the opening.

Training in the army for emotional restraint was arduous.

“I must have saved a nation in my last life, Joesph Khan.”

“…Oh? Compliments, all of a sudden?”

Expecting Asuka to soon start slinging sharp words, Joseph scratched the back of his head when she complimented instead.

“Did you meet Wakamou CEO because of it?”

“No, I have a face more suited to a general than an idol.”

“Want to fight?”

“Come east to Buyeo City, brat.”

“Pfft”

At that remark from Asuka, seated Wakamou, and Mei instantly burst out. The party looked around, wondering where the laugh point was but anyway the game continued.

“Do AI “god” VTubers know humor?”

Wisely shifting tactics, Joseph Khan.

Considering, if Asuka cracked a funny joke, Ichigo or Pirate might burst out laughing.

A bout where allies, if complacent, might succumb to it!

“About once a month.”

“Really?”

“Possibly? Anyway, reptiles… your regular outfit design is utterly hideous. Feels like something only the Inari Fox Deity would wear. Seems like dentures must be confiscated.”

“Hik… Heh…”

“By the way, White Dragon. Why so down today? Isn’t it a long-awaited collaboration?”

“Nope, nothing much. Maybe it’s because my dentures got confiscated.”

“Pfft”

Pipkin Mami burst out laughing at the round remark.

Unluckily, it was an ally that burst with laughter to Joseph’s impetuousness, whipping off his glasses to fling them at Mami.

Thinking to take a hit, but it perfectly popped onto her face like a snug fit.

“Puhaahahak!!!”

Seeing that, Asuka clutched her belly laughing as she collapsed laughing.

-How did you blow it by hitting your own team LOL

-How can you hold it in LOL

-Absolutely disastrous sketch holy shit LOL

-Is the 2nd fiddle of variety shows back LOL

-Skit is genuinely hysterical holy fuck LOL

A thoroughly botched strategy of Joseph’s, resulting in an unseemly 2 to 1 situation.

Joseph felt taken aback, wondering if the teammates would loath her, yet both gazed warmly.

Going from invisible among others to landing a critical hit…

There indeed, a bond among peers seemed to exist as they exchanged glances, Pipkin Mami quipping.

“Gained an enhanced [Glasses Buddy] skillset.”

“””Puhak –”””
