“Mina Clipper. This is Mare the Pirate-chan from the Wakamou Corporation’s Navy!”
The day after successfully ruining the collaboration. Mare the Pirate began a mundane VTuber broadcast.
Though she wasn’t invited to the area where Wakamou lived, she never thought she could just waltz in there.
After all, isn’t trust the most important thing?
Even Japanese craftsmen spend 30 years learning just by watching from the sidelines… Since she’s a smart elite Climber, a year should be enough.
She studied VTubing even after the broadcast ended, and despite her reluctance, she contacted her brother and received various helpful tips instead of the expected worry.
From music that doesn’t infringe copyrights to karaoke programs for singing, mic and audio settings, etc. She couldn’t help but acknowledge that pro VTubers who have been at it for years truly are different.
Though she thought of her brother as a hopeless soul who ran from karate, he’s clearly different in his area of expertise…
“Listeners! Have a great day today! Welcome to the new crew members! Welcome aboard Pirate’s ship!”
-Aye aye! Come on in!!
-Once you board this ship, you can’t get off.
-The Flying Dutchman needs a captain, after all…
-But do we even have a ship??
-Of course, we have, right? Like a warship.
-I heard there are pirates with no ship lol
-That’s just cosplay lol
-I’m still in my youthful 20s!!
-But you act like that guy from Gimhae.
The viewers began chattering as soon as they joined in. Mare called her listeners “crew members.”
Wakamou Corporation, interestingly, didn’t insist much on details for profiles. It’s as if they relied on sheer character strength to overwhelm others. It was a unique identity true to a VTuber company themed as reality-infusing climber VTubers.
“Welcome everyone. I’ve prepared something you like!”
For the otakus(?), Mare boldly claimed to have prepared a game that would delight them.
As the steam client clicked open with a sound, viewers couldn’t hide their awe at the array of games filling the library.
-How many adult games, damn!!!
-Excuse me. How could you tell at a glance?
-Stuff you can’t even get in Korea….
-Damn, there’s One Piece right here!
-580 adult games categorized??
-Were you the phantom thief?
“It’s what you like, right?”
-Damn, can’t argue with that.
-No way you’re thinking of playing adult games, right???
-Starting with adult games on the first broadcast?
-That’s illegal in Korea!!!
-It’s illegal even in Japan.
-State laws…? They mean nothing in front of “Navy’s Justice”!!
-I almost mistook it for a pirate~
Mare casually scrolled down and clicked on a game featuring overly humanized beast girls flaunting their assets.
Viewers quickly panicked and questioned whether she really intended to do this, but seeing her response, a quick-witted viewer yelled, “She didn’t turn on the translator!”
But perhaps there was a stroke of luck…?
A warning popped up saying the game couldn’t be played in that country, leading to an execution failure. Subsequently, a prompt appeared asking for verification since it seemed like a login from abroad, causing Mare to lean dramatically, lamenting.
“Oh no! My cute animal friends!”
-They’re not cute, though.
-I swear it’s a real adult game!!!!
-At least, please, do it with an age restriction!!
“But my brother said it’s fine if you don’t turn on the adult mode. Isn’t Korea a Confucian country? Are even those things banned?”
-What? Excuse me?
-Argh!! Can’t take it anymore!!
-Just hold it, dammit.
-Dum dum dum dum.
-One of the most shocking things I’ve heard from a woman….
-Please think before you speak….
-Looney sea pirate man with no brakes….
Seeing the viewers’ reactions, Mare belatedly turned on the translator, verified, and questioned if it wouldn’t be a problem as long as there were no explicit or erotic scenes. After all, her brother said guys like racy stuff, so he set it up for her.
Though he mentioned that adult humor is the ticket to fame, she had no sense of general sanity being just an ordinary person.
She delved into the depths of how far VTubers could go and hadn’t opened things like Tensho Kiarara from a company she shouldn’t see at Octopus Inc. She thought she could at least play adult games, considering what she learned from real “underground” VTubers you couldn’t find in Korea but existed in Japan.
“But, I mean? Stores don’t even sell erotic books here… Korea sure is strict…”
-Ah, why the sudden tears….
-I’m an adult… Why…can’t I see something naughty…?
-You’re naturally trying to disappear.
-There’s everything on the internet, even naughty stuff!!
-At this point, let’s just go straight to the archive?
“Then, why don’t you get a girlfriend?”
-You take that back!!
-Whaaat?
-If that were possible, would we be like this?
-Hiccup, I haven’t held a girl’s hand since birth…
-Gahhh!! Japan is torturing Koreans!!
-What’s dating even… Is it something you eat…?
People’s dreams never end!!! Who cares if you’re ridiculed a little. Exercise, strive. The crew can make it! Let’s set our sights a bit lower”
-I’m already here cause I lowered my sights.
-Since we’re at it, let’s lower it a notch further lol
-Why is the captain’s decibel so high?
-Because you gotta command on the ship, I guess.
-No mic needed.
-Just seeing our Blue Navy Pirate Band captain is enough.
“And besides, they say if a guy’s a virgin till his 30s, he becomes a wizard? It didn’t happen? Then you’re not a virgin! Wow, total lucky yippee☆”
Mare winked and wiggled her fingers as if she found nothing wrong with her statement, showing an expression devoid of any thought.
Faced with an expression so ridiculously dumb one could feel lesser just by watching, the crew decided to just drop their minds and reach an area of enjoyment.
They already reached a level of preparing to spread her quotes in online communities instead of pointing out anything from the captain’s mouth.
“Okay, is Pirate good? Then look at the cute, sexy, and provocative Pirate! Koreans like school uniforms too, right? It’s a cute sailor outfit!”
-Ah, yes.
-Not seductive at all….
-We may have some weird sexual preferences, but monkeys are just….
-You did just call Japanese people monkeys, didn’t you?
-Save me!!
-How come, out of all the members, Hajime Ichigo is the only decent one?
“But I still want to play games. Actually, this ID belongs to my brother, you know? He lent it to me since I’m debuting as a VTuber. Come, there are so many adult games you can’t find in Korea! Everyone, come to Pirate’s broadcast and have a look! Wow, what’s this pixel game? Futanari Dungeon? What’s Futanari? Don’t play it?”
-Please stop doing anything and take your hands off!!!!
-Her every word sends shivers down the crew’s spine.
-No reason to be terrified in a non-horror game, goddamn lol
-She’s publicly executing her brother!!! Hanging him on the internet!!!
-The sister is trying to kill her brother!!
“Why not? Can’t guys even play some adult games? My brother says he wiggles his butt while acting cute in front of guys. Isn’t he considered a pro in the VTuber industry? Anyway… Poor Koreans can’t even play erotic games… Should Pirate bring some from Japan for the crew? Directly imported erotic manga from Japan!”
-Is the Navy selling erotica these days?
-New concept export. This is surely going to be successful.
-Korea meets a disgraceful end for smuggling.
-Hey! The Navy has raided!!!
-Then where do you watch naughty stuff?
-I heard the Navy sells it.
-Whoa~ Getting our spots taken lol
-What exactly does your brother do…
“Okay, I studied hard! They say Koreans call listeners a cash cow, don’t they? Hey, cash cow!”
-Sister?
-Whoa, man, where do you get your information?
-Not one bit of normal info in any of it…
-The internet’s more dangerous than I thought~
-I realized why they tell you not to use computers~
“Where’d I learn it? Otaku sites! Aren’t they blue, so they match well with the Navy!”
-That familiar blue site again. Is it better that it’s at least that?
-Since that’s Korea’s biggest gaming community, there’s no problem. No problem at all.
-This is clearly Korea’s fault…
-Auntie, stop drinking, and can you do something about this young lady….
-Korea is wrecking people’s lives.
-Stop browsing internet communities!!!
-Can’t believe we’re actually saying this!!
“They say across the sea…. they put up killer whale dicks at night!! And zebra mating!! Don’t you want to see???”
-Not interested in seeing that…..
-Why does that even exist?
-What kind of garbage do these guys watch?
-I’m going mad, seriously. Losing my mind!!
-More than that, Captain! There’s noise, what’re you doing?
“Well, since I’m a captain who came across the sea~ I thought I’d show you food more expensive than beef imported from Japan. Let’s check it out while eating!”
Mare surprisingly adeptly opened the VTuber broadcast(?). Whether it was fortune or misfortune… the crew, who already had many worries about her clumsiness, soon let out screams upon seeing the dreadful sight of food filling the screen.
“Since Koreans also mix their food. Ta-da, it’s Herbeshi. Koreans like honey bees too!! It’s stir-fried honey bees!! And this is stonefly larvae. It tastes like shrimp. And for side dishes, it’s soy-braised grasshoppers. It’s amazing how Koreans eat insects too. Pupae? I brought some!”
-Gahhhh!!!
-Hey, those are honey bees!!!
-This is not bibimbap!!!
-Please, just show us animal dicks and breeding clips!!!!
-No, no no no no, anything but this!!
-Please just eat mint chocolate!!!
The screen was filled with the ghastly sight of honey bees laid out on a bed of white rice and shriveled larvae.
And it didn’t stop there, braised grasshoppers filled a dish.
Next to it was a can of pupae bought from a convenience store. The unexpected menu left the crew in a frenzy and panic.
“People say protein’s great. It’s expensive and delicious!! By the way, I have a mint allergy, so I can’t eat mint chocolate. They say you pour mac coli on it? I don’t get how people eat it that way~ Anyway, to add some sweetness, put candy in and mix it”
“There’s nothing better than having plenty. It’s expensive, so it’s delicious!! Also, I’m allergic to mint, so I can’t eat mint chocolate. Mint chocolate with Makgeoli? They say you pour it and eat it? I don’t know how they eat it like that~ Anyway, since we need to add sweetness here, it’s about mixing it with candy.”
-?????
-Why are you adding candy!!!
-No, damn it, you’re putting the wrapper in too!!!
“Hmm? Can’t you eat candy with the wrapper on?”
-Huh?
-Does this child even know what common sense is?
-Ugh…ugh…
-I miss my mom…wahhh…
“In Japan, they make it with starch…maybe not in South Korea…then let’s skip the candy. Also, I learned how to make somaek! South Korea has such a nice culture.”
Before the sailors could say anything, a bucket appeared on the screen.
With excitement, the pirate opened a bottle of beer and soju, and poured them in a 1:1 ratio, mixed them, and raised the bucket with a giggle, spinning it and guzzling it down.
“Ugh”
And a few seconds later, the bucket fell empty with a thud.
-….?? Did she drink that in a few seconds…?
-If you drink like that, you’ll die!!
-That’s not how you make somaek!!!
-Please, Manager!! Manager, what are you doing!!!!
-What did you bring back from Japan, damn it!!!
-It’s a Japanese scheme!!!
-Don’t burp into the microphone!!!
“Oh, right. They say you can’t mix raw eggs with rice in South Korea? Well, eating raw food isn’t healthy anyway!!”
-Eating raw food isn’t the issue here.
-Can we call this a live broadcast…?
-Um, did I stumble into a penalty show?
-No, it’s regular programming.
-Sorry, I’ll leave now.
-Once you’re in, you’re a slave of our ship.
-Isn’t it Korean slaves on a Japanese captain’s ship…?
-At least they won’t make you eat mint chocolate.
-I’d rather eat that.
Ignoring the sailors’ desperate cries, the pirate continued to broadcast in her own way. With the sound of chewing insects, she gulped down soju as if it were water, maintaining her conversation with the audience.
In South Korea, you shouldn’t eat candy with the wrapper, nor should you eat raw eggs.
“The sailors are so kind; the captain is happy~”
Saying so, Pirate poured soju and beer into a bucket, added a lemon, and drank it up.
After having a satisfying and filling meal, she clicked onto a South Korean community page to explore.
“Wow! An orca’s…! Huge!!”
-Manager, what are you doing!!!
-Argh!! Aaaaah!
-A Japanese bust has been released on the broadcast!!
-Please save me, Master! Save me!!!
“Hello friends, come watch Ichigo today as well.”
With a smile that might seem like a sneer, and eyes so red they would give you chills at first glance, but her voice was soft, gentle, and exceedingly cute.
Just like any other day, Ichigo turned on the hand cam, with “Hajime Ichigo’s Korean Study Day 24” written in the corner.
She couldn’t even hold the pencil properly but diligently copied characters from an elementary school Korean workbook.
“Buh-joo…zzatong-cha…dduruk…”
-Oh, our Ichigo is doing well.
-Can I give tips on how to hold a pencil?
-Shush!! Raise the child with love!!!
-Are you trying to make our Ichigo feel small?
-Should I turn on the lights and obliterate everything???
While clumsily writing, asking the viewers how to read, and thanking them sincerely each time, Ichigo persistently studied.
“What did you eat for breakfast today?”
“What d-did I eat f-for b-breakfast t-today?”
-We ate Ichigo’s love.
-Oh, look how cute she is…study while eating, okay?
-I know it’s not much, but I added to your allowance…!!
-She probably earns more than us!!
-Is that why you’re not giving it?
-I already did.
-LOL
“Friends, take it. I’ll use the money where it’s needed.”
-Did you do that?
-What are you drawing now?
“Friends?”
Though unrecognizable, Ichigo tried to draw good-bye friends on her sketchbook. Seeing her try to use “friends” correctly, warm comments filled the chat.
“I see her sitting in the same spot every day on the way to school on the bus.”
-Who the hell requested this song?
-The manager did.
-Why is the manager watching this broadcast?
-Did they abandon Pirate? LOL
-It’s not the manager, but the Association President.
-Huh?
After finishing Korean study, she moved on to a singing broadcast.
Ichigo’s character holding the mic swayed back and forth as she sang, while friends waved glow sticks in the chat.
“This is for friends! I practiced a lot!”
-I’m so happy…I’m so, so happy!!
-Ichigo is the best for singing a birthday song too.
-Hajime-chan sings anything you request.
-Her expression looks a bit like she’s about to scold, but she’s so kind LOL
Performing not only satisfying but fulfilling performances with 12 songs, Ichigo entered the fan café to appreciate the drawings made for her by fans, pressing the heart button thoughtfully on each one. Her effort to collect them seemed like a kitten gathering its cherished toys, spurring a flood of submissions.
Surprised, flustered, but grateful, Ichigo excitedly collected the drawings. She carefully reviewed each request she received for about two hours, typing comments in Korean she learned using the hunt-and-peck method.
While friends, desperate for something from her, overwhelmed the page, Wakamou’s VTuber posts about Ichigo were the next most popular.
“Let’s play a game!!”
Lastly, equipped with [PUBG: Players’ Battleground] and [Helldivers 2], Ichigo played with friends, communicating via microphone. With excellent orders and superior shooting skills, athleticism from being a Climber, and a sharp hearing, she quickly adapted and won even at difficult levels.
“Thanks to the friends, let’s have fun!”
“[Please invite me again, sob…]”
“[Thank you for playing with me…]”
“[Uttyah ttuttah…t-tuttah…]”
-The brains of these folks are melting LOL
-It’s understandable LOL
-No matter how bad it gets, Ichigo never curses…
-Ichigo couldn’t bear and cracked Pirate’s head…
-At this point, isn’t Pirate the bad one?
Wakamou Corporation is hosting extremely contrasting broadcasts by hiring a new lunatic…I mean VTuber.
If Ichigo’s broadcast is warm enough to make you not want to leave…
Pirate’s is a madness show unseen anywhere in South Korea.
As a Climber backed by the governments of South Korea and Japan, she continued the broadcast unchecked, crossing the line.
And the Manager succumbed and just watched Ichigo’s broadcast.
Although it hadn’t been long since they met, seeing the piled-up trash in her Studio room indicated she was fundamentally flawed as a Human.
Meanwhile, in another part.
Their owner, spiritual leader, and one who allows them to become VTubers by letting them be themselves, Wakamou Inarizushi, also started broadcasting.
-? Why the clothes today, Leader?
-It does look nice but…isn’t he climbing the Tower?
-Did he decide to return as Clipper with 2 more members?
-It looks nice, but are those clothes okay…?
Strangely worried believers. And who could blame them, seeing Wakamou, who always wore old robes that were a mix of kimono and hanbok, suddenly choosing different attire. VTuber characters didn’t need to change clothes, but was it because it’s a large corporation now that he had a change of heart?
“Greetings, greetings! I, Wakamou Inarizushi, am your Idol! You are permitted for an audience! Hello hello hello!”
Today, Wakamou’s tension seemed unusually high.
“Today, let’s swiftly climb to the 5th floor!”
The believers were left with only question marks above their heads at the nonsensical answer.
Dressed as if going for a picnic in a neat frilled blouse and skirt, why was he so merry about climbing to the 5th floor of the Tower?
Surprisingly, Wakamou wasn’t actually high tension but rather anxious.
“Wakamou! I parked at Incheon Tower’s 25th floor!!”
With excitement, Mare Pirate informed him that she made it to the Incheon Tower’s 25th floor in just two days, ready to climb together.
Despite appearances, she was the Daughter of the King of Authority and a Climber who conquered the 40th-floor Tower.
She claimed that although the difficulty increased a bit, both comparative to the number of Tower climbs and the strategy for attack, it wasn’t difficult.
Not aiming for the Complete Strategy Layer, but having followed the climbing strategy, she declared she arrived quickly!!
So, both Ichigo and Pirate were already waiting for Wakamou on the 25th floor.
A company owner making VTubers wait…?
“If I don’t reach 25th today, I’ll commit seppuku.”
-What..?
-Here we go again.
-Don’t try to understand, believer. Just accept it.
