[Title: Leader, I Have Some Complaints]
As you can see, everyone likes it and all, I know.
But what’s Jiang Taigong and what’s Dalki? It’s hard to look them up online.
Please start a broadcast and explain.
So, here’s what I prepared!
To all those wanting to make a Wiki, take this info.
~Wakamou Inarizushi Information Collection~
First, to explain Dalki.
She’s one of the four great femme fatales of China, known for her stunning beauty.
She’s a historical figure, but since the Leader is a Fox Deity, I’m linking it to that.
There’s a top deity in Chinese mythology known as Nuwa.
In a Ming Dynasty novel called Fengshen Yanyi, King Zhou offended Nuwa, saying he’d want his maid to be as beautiful as her.
Wanting to punish him, but as she couldn’t outrightly destroy the kingdom, she sent three monsters, including Dalki, to corrupt him and ruin the state.
Those three monsters are Dalki, Hohemi, and Wang Gui, and they’re said to be sisters.
But since they couldn’t destroy the kingdom quickly, they were killed by Nuwa.
So why is the Leader still alive? Beats me.
Anyway, Dalki is famously known as a Gumiho, one of Japan’s three great evil spirits.
They say she might be over 4,000 years old, still alive.
Dalki got executed for destroying the state by King Wu, and as she struggled, Jiang Taigong made his appearance. Also known as Taigong Wang; more renowned in “Fengshen Yanyi” as Jiang Ziya. Historically referred to as Jiang Shang.
He fought the Gumiho with 40 years of Taoist training.
Afterward, the Gumiho went to India, then Japan, and in Japan, she’s known as Wakamou.
Later she changed her name to Tamamo-no-Mae.
Subsequently, she got exposed again, was vanquished in Japan, and turned into the poisonous Killing Stone.
For reference, the Killing Stone was split in half in 22, but if it was due to her being unsealed, the timing wouldn’t match, so probably not?
Everyone’s teasing about Dalki being a Nine-tailed Fox and all, but timeline-wise and story-wise, it’s just a “concept.”
Could likely be the Fox Deity without records of living since the Three Kingdoms era?
-Wow! Thanks, Speedwagon!
ㄴBy the way, it’s Speedwagon not Speedwagan. It’s like an explainer character in manga.
ㄴNobody asked for that!
-Yeah, admitting you don’t know stuff is okay.
-Really, what’s wrong with not knowing? Criticizing that is wrong.
-Let’s make this a pinned post?
-So the Leader is some mysterious Fox Deity with a Dalki concept?
ㄴMight be a Fox Deity split off from Dalki.
ㄴJiang Taigong supposedly slashed it into three pieces.
ㄴAren’t those martial arts, not Taoist techniques?
-Thanks, Mr. Near-Death.
ㄴJust call me a boomer instead…
-Aren’t they the ones who didn’t read “Fengshen Yanyi”…
-Dalki was pretty provocative back then.
ㄴSo much she couldn’t be resisted…
-Explaining these generation gaps is comicalㅋㅋㅋ
“Hmmmm”
Once again, Wakamou is browsing through the community.
Reporters were questioning whether there should be press conferences since Wakamou was all over the news.
They argued a climber should be transparent with citizens because things were diplomatically controversial—a lot of reporters were protesting at the Climber Association.
Despite the firm refusal by the Association President to engage in such matters, yellow journalism continued to spread fake news, claiming Wakamou Inarizushi was a human-eating fox spirit, the undying, living Hundred-faced Golden Gumiho known as Dalki.
It’s usual for such things to follow when one becomes famous.
Being labeled a monster, a murderer, and something humanity must eliminate was quite shocking in the articles.
Viewers were dangerously declaring that climbers not governed by any rules were risky and shouldn’t have power over nations.
Some said he should be kicked out immediately… If they hadn’t stormed his fan club, he was lucky; there were many negative comments.
Before, such things quickly disappeared, but maybe he was too famous now for that to work.
There was criticism why he didn’t eliminate [Collector] in China or hand him over to the Chinese government, calling it irresponsible.
One person wondered if [Six Legged Beast] meant six people; actually, it stands for a force aiming to destroy six continents.
Many grouped unfairly under the banner of [Six Legged Beast], a label Collector fell into perfectly.
All climb that endangered international situations were deemed [Six Legged Beast].
Wakamou Inarizushi was on the verge of joining those ranks.
Japanese government and Japanese Association President, along with the King of Authority, often extended offers to come to Japan if he ever felt uncomfortable.
He’d sent a message saying he’d move if he ever felt detached. There’s no discomfort in going abroad, knowing the language.
He could speak Japanese too… Though it’d be a shame if Liu Ying had to put her efforts into learning Japanese once again.
“Well, as long as it’s settled.”
Relaxing in the vast plains of [My Worlds], Wakamou remained indifferent.
All he wanted was to continue his VTuber Broadcast, yet he couldn’t understand why troublesome matters kept involving him.
If he had any reason to reflect, it would be that he appeared to others like a real Dalki or Fox Deity.
Although he seemed invincible at a first glance, against someone like a Climber of the King of Authority’s caliber, he was nowhere near powerful enough and would likely be heavily defeated.
There won’t always be favorable battles; he must prepare… Nevertheless, it was about the broadcast.
Before a climber, Wakamou was a VTuber!!
‘I want the broadcast to be worthy of the accumulated wait, but nothing’s coming to mind.’
As he wandered the community for good reactions, he stumbled upon articles that [Collector] was pressuring the Chinese government with autonomous regions and had even launched missiles.
Hoping they weren’t suggesting conquering China and asking Liu Ying to become the female emperor.
His artifacts were certainly capable up to the level of 『Idol』 but they were all quite on par; hence, it was unclear why the tower gave such choices.
‘Getting marked as a real Hundred-faced Golden Gumiho would be exhausting.’
Like Wakamou, the believers were busy defending similarly in various ways.
“That was all in the past, wasn’t it?” they argued.
Some insisted, if the Leader revealed the truth, without evidence, no one would believe it anyway, so they must leave.
Others merely enjoyed the situation, drawing Dalki in revealing outfits for Wakamou, etc.
“The consistency here is amusing too.”
Elsewhere, VTubers who used to post their broadcast notifications on the blue site started doing so in Wakamou’s café.
Finally, the VTuber culture that Wakamou had eagerly wished for was coming to life. Seeing the subscriber count of the smaller VTubers he introduced increase, Wakamou smiled contentedly.
He decided he’d harvest more clips and added an interpretation and explanation video to Wakamou’s broadcast.
With newcomer ages varying extensively, considerable generational gaps surfaced.
‘Ugh, battling [Collector] would be visually great; a shame it couldn’t be broadcast.’
The flashy presentation and clash of mythical and relic items seemed like they had great cinematography potential, and missing out was quite regretful.
But the broadcast was necessary, right?
“Sadako! Are all your things packed?”
“All packed, boss! But if we’re living here, won’t it be hard to get snacks from the convenience store?”
“Then stockpile… I’ll unlock it at the studio.”
“Sweet!”
The land expanded, and Sadako finally moved into Wakamou’s [My Worlds].
Seeing her secretly celebrate being acknowledged was utterly adorable.
She consistently streamed while Wakamou and Liu Ying were away.
With sincere enthusiasm as a VTuber, receiving advice from her elder brother, and striving, she was deemed worthy of being aboard as a comrade.
“Wow, feels like my bro’s place. At least it doesn’t reek of bachelorhood!”
Upon entering Wakamou’s room filled with figures, and goods stockpiled in the storage, her remarks were harsh enough for Wakamou to arrange a camper room outside for Sadako.
“A small territory but surprisingly vast, should decorating it be a new content…?”
“Let’s just do a drink broadcast?”
“I’ll go fetch the Silver Button, start without me?”
“Okay!”
Regardless, the broadcast had to happen today as well, so Wakamou announced a rare collaboration! and went out to meet the arrived Silver Button.
Meanwhile, Liu Ying and Sadako prepared the broadcast as Hajime Ichigo and Mare Pirate.
Using [Idol’s Illusion], they didn’t even change clothes as they effortlessly switched to their VTuber character appearances, each verifying the alterations, then checked the viewer numbers accumulating on standby, before lighting up on Wakamou’s channel.
“It’s Pirate, streaming back-to-back! Thank your mate, ICHIGO IS HERE!!”
“Hiya gang, did ya miss meh? I’ll start the broadie now~”
-Ichigo, welcome aboard…
-A nod to Ichigo rescued by Wakamou from becoming Warlord.
-Seriously, the name’s the issue.
-Greeting the descendant of Liu Bei of Chinese Imperial heritage.
-What’s with the extremely fast-deleting chats, what’s happening?
-What else, folks overstepping in Leader’s broadcast.
-Saying, having faced terror in China and battled [Six Legged Beast] why no press conference?
-Why do it? Their choice?
-No idea, raised national esteem but treated like a monsterㅋㅋㅋ
-Need subscriber locks on thisㅋㅋㅋ
-Even with three days of continuous Pirate drinking broadcasts, finally it’s over…!!
-Can [Shape-shifting] make your liver invincible too?
-So how much in Pirate’s bank account?
“Well! Curious?”
“Hey? Pirate, no money in your bank?”
“Yeah!!”
“Then how much?”
“700 yen?”
-That’s around 6,400 won.
-Isn’t climbing raking in lots of money?
-Did you spend that much on streaming equipment?
-VTuber life is expensive…
“I blew it all on horse racing.”
-You crazy woman, what the hell, I was worried about you.
-No, seriously, shut up!!!
-Captain!! Our salary, Captain!!!
“Why pay the crew? We’ve got a cute Mare Pirate.”
-I feel like I’m losing my mind.
-I can’t take this anymore. LOL
-Ichigo gave me candy for sucking my thumb.
“How did I get fired tomorrow…”
“Borrow money from Ichigo! Here, I’ll send my account number!”
“Account number…???”
“Send it here! I’ll pay you back properly! Once the YouTube revenue comes in!”
“Got it…?”
-No, Ichigo!! Don’t listen to him!!
-That’s a sure sign he’s never paying you back!!!
-Set a deadline!! It’s a scam contract!!!
-Does it make sense for a 20-year-old to be extorting a 17-year-old? He’s extorting her!!
“I’ll really pay you back! Because relationships break if you don’t pay!”
“Uh-huh…send it…?”
“Wow! Really?! Thanks!! You’re awesome!!”
-Only Ichigo has a kind heart.
-Meanwhile, Mare Pirate is drooling, and she’s wiping it up.
-Why are you drinking alcohol during an outdoor broadcast!!
“I want to try it too. Should I drink?”
“Up to 3% is fine, right? Because 3% alcohol is just juice!!”
-No, Captain. Seriously, that’s not okay.
-What nonsense is ‘3% is juice’ LOL
“By the way, in Japan, if the alcohol content exceeds 10 degrees, liquor tax becomes expensive. That’s why Strong Zero, which allows you to get drunk quickly for a low price, is popular. It’s 9 degrees. Chuhai is alcohol mixed with soda water and fruit juice. It’s quite popular in Japan these days.”
-Here it comes, the Captain’s alcohol trivia!!
-He doesn’t know much, but he’s an encyclopedia when it comes to alcohol….
-If he quits VTubing, he’ll probably go to drink.
“Since it’s spacious here, I want to make wine like a vineyard… First, I’ll bring four big refrigerators and fill them up with alcohol.”
“Is he nuts…”
“Before drinking with the money Ichigo gave me, I have to pay it back, so I’m going to gamble, Mare Pirate. Watch me, Ichigo!! I’ll become stronger for you!!!”
“Stop!!!”
Ichigo whacks Mare Pirate on the back of her head, claiming she’ll go crazy, while Mare Pirate begs, “Please spare me!” and howls, “But I have no money!!” She displays the ultimate act of surrender and submission by performing Bunji dogeza, making the viewers burst out laughing.
-There it is! The Captain’s ultimate jumping dogeza!!
-As he jumps, he curls his body and lands in a dogeza position…
-The beautiful sincere dogeza… I only reached that level in my late 20s…
“By showing the lowest posture, I display my honest apology!! Let me do it just once….please?”
In front of the begging Mare Pirate, Ichigo lay flat on the ground.
“I’m even lower.”
“What…!!”
“Stop gambling─!!”
With explosive acceleration from leg strength and agility, Ichigo slides and headbutts into Mare Pirate’s crown.
In that state, Ichigo deftly climbs on top of Mare Pirate and bends her into a shrimp hold.
Amid this, Mare Pirate, who is being treated like flour dough, is rolled and flung around as Ichigo smashes and stretches her, putting her into a bowl.
“Today, we’ll do a cooking broadcast. The ingredient is Mare Pirate. I’ll serve it as pet food.”
“Who said pet food!! At least call it pâté!!”
-Noted, “Gelatino.”
-What is this pudding-like elasticity…
-It’s shaped round and makes me think of the talking orange…
-It looks like a soccer ball with limbs, which makes it ridiculously insignificant. LOL
-And look how Ichigo, who’s Chinese, kneads so skillfully.
-Mare Pirate tastes like this, huh….
“This tangy texture sure makes me think it’s going to be delicious.”
“You’re not allowed to eat this”
“Are you calling me food waste?!”
“The moment you chew, it’s over”
“Ah, then it can’t be helped. So when is the boss coming?”
-Why are they just naturally doing a sketch LOL
-Stream of consciousness, I’m dying LOL
-Ad-lib comedy without a script.
-Is the reason not to eat because it’s alcohol LOL
-A woman whose entire body is alcohol….
“3! 2! 1! (Clap!) It’s me!”
Suddenly Wakamou popped up with a countdown and clap, laying three Silver Buttons down for the camera to see.
“Finally, a Silver Button!! Thanks for subscribing, everyone!! Finally, nearing 700K subscribers….What should we do when we hit it!! Suggestions, anyone?!”
“”Woo~””
Both Ichigo and Mare Pirate cheered, waving their Silver Buttons enthusiastically.
“How about an alcohol mukbang?”
“Rejected”
“Mare Pirate, let’s take you to the washing machine; you smell since you don’t wash your teeth.”
“Even if Mare Pirate is a cat that brushes once a week, you can’t do that! Rejected!”
“How about a cocktail mukbang?”
“Mare Pirate, the discussion isn’t over.”
“Aww…how about…teaching Mare Pirate swimming? Dipping in water, boss?”
“Why is your pronunciation suddenly clear? Mare Pirate would dissolve in water. Next?”
“Watered-down liquor, Mizuwari, is very alluring… Mixing alcohol with water induces an unyielding vigor….”
“Mare Pirate, I’m not telling you to drink underwater.”
“What about hanging Mare Pirate on a roulette and knife-throwing for a viewer event?”
“Your pronunciation keeps improving, and the boss is scared….”
Shhh─
And naturally, Hohemi raised a wing.
Could it have intelligence or something?
“Alright, Hohemi. Give it a try.”
Upon hearing that, Wakamou admired Hohemi trying to ‘hatch’ an egg it seemed to have brought from somewhere.
Totally forgotten, but there was this in Nanzho’s skill set!
[Egg-laying of All Birds][Cooldown: 7 days]
Can lay the egg of any bird.
Hatching and nurturing wholly depend on the owner.
“Exactly! You’re a genius, Hohemi! The teacher was so excited she almost tore her clothes!!”
-Wow, rip it!!
-Can’t you remove it with spirit alone?
-I’m really curious if water floats on your chest!
-Among all, isn’t mute Hohemi the smartest?
-They’re all crazies here.
-So what are we doing?”
“Since our Hohemi can lay any bird’s egg, any recommendations? How about a Little Stint?”
-It’s not Little Stint, it’s Broad-billed Sandpiper.
“What….? It wasn’t a Little Stint…?”
-Penguin?
-Can you make Garuda?
-Do Angry Birds?
-Does Basilisk count as a bird?
-I heard T-rex is considered an avian…
-Can we have a Yatagarasu?
-Being from South Korea, we should have a Three-Legged Crow.
-How about a Harpy?
-Can you make a Tengu??? Do you know Touhou, Fox Deity!!!
“Oh wow, so many requests….but we don’t know the limit. And if we make a Tengu, there’ll be weird articles about reviving Yokai as Haku-Ben-Kin-Mou or something… I just want to do VTubing… Believers should know, too? I’m not Dalki, okay? Don’t misunderstand me with such a bad woman, it’s–”
-Thud!(100 tonnes)
-Certain headbutts can be had only once.
-I’ll make you quiet forever.
-Please mass-produce female Tengu..
-Can’t you make a Dodo?
-I want a penguin, but isn’t it illegal to raise one?
“Alright then…[Egg-laying of All Birds]! Please lay the egg of a [Three-Legged Crow]?”
“Cluck cluck”
At those words, Hohemi concentrated and laid an egg, flying away nonchalantly.
Watching blankly, Wakamou picked up the egg.
[Egg of the Three-Legged Crow]
Grade: Monster’s egg.
Can hatch with mana infusion.
An auspicious bird with three legs.
Immune to flames.
“Mana?”
Just holding it, Wakamou’s mana was absorbed, and the egg cracked, revealing a cute baby crow.
A baby Three-Legged Crow with three legs chirped away and flopped over on Wakamou’s palm, unable to stand.
-…..?
-Wow, it actually hatched.
-Shouldn’t we call someone related to this?
-It says it’s a monster’s egg, is that alright…?
“The rise and fall of Goguryeo depends on this, believers. At this point, let’s take action on Liaodong.”
-Haha, because we have the Three-Legged Crow huh?
-We’re going back to Goguryeo’s era….
-Let us pledge loyalty to Leader Wakamou at the forefront of East Asia unification!
-So it goes like this hahahaha
“Just kidding… What should we really do─”
[Believers have reached 700K!]
[To increase magic beyond this point, please ascend the Tower.]
“?”
[Stats]
Magic: 700,000
[Additional attribute points: 35]
Wakamou hurriedly checked her abilities, startled to find her magic lower than her subscriber count.
Was there a limit to this….?
