[Title: I’m Not Raising a Tengu, They’ll Just Say It’s a Yokai or Whatever]
Tengu have a lot of yokai, but they’re not particularly strong.
There’s one super strong Tengu in the “Big 3 Yokai.”
Judging from the way it talks, it seems to have the capability to be raised…?
??? : If you don’t listen to me quietly, I’ll start a Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. The approval ratings will become as fun as horse racing.
-The leader can even pull off a dodo resurrection, is there anything he can’t do, lol.
ㄴThe academic world is in chaos right now. They say they can resurrect extinct birds.
ㄴThe paper could be copied, damn lol.
ㄴWhat? A real Three-Legged Crow? Please let me see it just once!!
-But if it’s a bird, how far does it go? Can Hohemi lay a phoenix too?
ㄴThe manager’s present-life resurrection project has begun.
ㄴIf phoenixes and firebirds are possible, isn’t that crazy???
-“I’ll make South Korea earn money if it looks like they can’t.”
-It’s said big corporations sustain the country, but the scale is different.
-Back in my day, this was normal, right? South Korea is even smaller than China.
ㄴDamn lol, it’s funny that this is true lol.
ㄴTransportation is convenient, so earning money should be easy too.
ㄴIn the meantime, they dutifully support farmers like old times…
ㄴDon’t you understand that grain supply is the most important thing…
-But if the leader only acknowledges the phoenix for the manager, he might not raise it.
ㄴIt’s so funny because it feels like that would really happen lol.
ㄴThe only owner of KFC is you, Kiara Phoenix!!
-Dinosaurs are birds too!!
-If they lay it, it counts as a bird. Let’s go prove if a T-rex had feathers lol.
-Three-Legged Crow, Goguryeo, Liaodong… It’s time for the northern advance!!
-Blazing across hot Manchuria to you~
ㄴMy heart flutters!!
ㄴIgnite, Twin-Star Garrison!!
ㄴEngrave it! The Beat of the Crescent!

[Title: Why Does the Leader Have Such Low Subscribers Despite the Fame?]
For a VTuber in South Korea, having 700,000 subscribers is actually a lot.
He’s the only VTuber doing an all-time climber broadcast.
It’s tied to keywords like Gumiho, Dalki, Tamamo, and Fox Deity.
He shows ancient artifacts and does Complete Strategy Layers.
He even shows the revival of extinct birds.
With all this content, why isn’t it at a million yet?
When the leader starts a broadcast, does he stutter while paying too much attention to the viewer comments?
Or when viewers ask him questions, does he just say, “It’s a secret”?
Does he just chat endlessly about VTubers after introducing himself all day?
If he plays games, has he brought up something like a VTuber game?
Or is it because the channel is named “Wakamou Inarizushi,” so YouTube only shows it with brackets?
When you enter, is there more VTuber clip content than Wakamou videos, leading people to think it’s a clipper channel?
If you subscribe, is your YouTube subscribed channel filled with 30 VTuber clip videos daily attacks?
Does the leader not open memberships, do member broadcasts, or accept donations?
Has he informed China, Japan, and South Korea about it, but still, 700,000 subscribers?
Even if the broadcast is boring, shouldn’t people just come out of curiosity and subscribe due to the phenomenon?
-This guy knows surprisingly well? lol
-Subscribing to the leader comes with a big price to pay…
-He uploads clips by watching VTuber broadcasts because he doesn’t need sleep…
-Great entertainment comes with great costs…
-70,000 people means they can withstand their channel being flooded with VTuber clips.
-All those guys above are talking nonsense; you can unsubscribe alerts and turn it off.
-But, in that case, more viewers just come and go only when the community heats up.
-Why doesn’t the leader separate his channel then?
-Because VTubers are more precious than himself.
ㄴAs ridiculous as it sounds, that’s the truth… The leader values minor VTubers more…
ㄴBut there’s a notice about how not to get spammed after subscribing, you can refer to it.
ㄴWakamou promotion absolutely comes with caution attached.
ㄴIt’s like that creepy Napolitan legend lol.
ㄴRule 1, subscribe to Wakamou channel and immediately turn off alerts.
ㄴRule 2, if you can’t follow rule 1, watch clips.
-It’s really scary lol.
-If you want to know about every VTuber in the world, go to the leader’s cafe….
ㄴThey even have broken egg VTubers.
ㄴThere’s a ladybug anthropomorphic VTuber.
ㄴThere’s a super huge giant VTuber too….
ㄴHuh? Isn’t this just a male libido website…?
-There’s even a board that uploads erotic animal videos.
ㄴWhy is there, damn lol.
ㄴBecause the leader’s a beast…?
ㄴAh.
ㄴDid not even think about that…(in reflection).
ㄴI’m heading straight to upload a jerking off monkey video.
ㄴCrazy bastard.
Wakamou, who even started receiving absurd emails asking to run for proportional representation.
Meanwhile, Liu Wei somehow found out the email address and was reporting to Wakamou about the progress of conquering China.
Moreover, it’s said she found a relic released from the Chinese government and is making items out of them with the [Collector] skill… She didn’t get to show Wakamou all last time, but after a long search, she found an item that only [Idols] can have, and she said she’d send it a few days ago.
“There are too many emails~”
Wakamou decided to take care of the inbox while assigning the care of Liu Ying and Sadako to the manager, but the email was really abundant.
Starting with broadcast appearances, the ones from broadcast stations were all blocked and deleted.
The overseas emails were about research on reviving extinct birds or some requests, so they were categorized separately.
Complaints sent by viewers about the Wakamou channel were reviewed, and since there was no intent to change them regretfully, they were told to give up. For viewers who tried to shake up the broadcast, the reply was a curse on them? And was sent back.
“The subscriber growth curve is nice…”
Wakamou self-aware that he was standing on a favorable high point.
Moreover, with increasing broadcast content, 『Wakamou Inarizushi Floor 1』 was implemented with a combined 1-30 floors and a space estimated to be 830 km² potentially an ocean.
He even remembered hearing from the manager about rare fish only appearing in the tower’s sea, which provoked requests from university professors.
Providing a vast, safe land for the young generation leaving for farming, and even the monsters there could be used as food or material, so Incheon guilds could hunt more safely and develop climbers’ skills.
Thanks to that, he witnessed the commodities price dropping for the first time.
With the minimum wage rising and milk prices dropping, Wakamou was surprised at the extent decided to be granted by the Association President.
It even implemented a 4-day work week to create an environment conducive to watching broadcasts… Would have fallen for it, even if he were a man.
Conversely, it meant that South Korea was gaining a lot more resources. He was a bit surprised to hear about some vein and wondered if the U.S. might come if they somehow found oil underground…
It was promoted as a tourist spot where non-climbers could enter, including the safety layers usable in case of a collapse of South Korea; the Association President also mentioned setting up facilities in the place to rear extinct birds, so he handed over the [Three-Legged Crow].
After all, life is involved, and as an expert, Wakamou did not have the confidence to raise it.
Upon receiving it, the Association President looked with a complicated expression as if to say, what is this supposed to mean…? You want me to become a king or something?
“In the end, did we arrive…?”
It seemed the performance shown in China was quite impressive.
Comments questioned why this person doesn’t upload their broadcast but posting VTuber clips, with people asking if it was actually a Wakamou clipper broadcast…
“This is something I can’t compromise even if it kills me!!!”
Though he could allow everything else, giving up on personal identity and becoming a woman, he couldn’t bend on this even in death.
“I added subscription as a condition for entering my floor, but… the rate of growth lately is absurd…”
To move into Wakamou Floor 1, to watch tower climbing, to see the famous person from rumors, or to see extinct bird parenting broadcasts…
[Wakamou Inarizushi]
Subscribers: 2.2 million.
“It’s such a burden that I feel like I could puke”
Thinking it would continue to climb, he’s got to get used to this. Could I be the number one VTuber worldwide at this rate…?
Me?
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMzUkt1Uk1oK0sya3NRU1YxcUQyKzVnbkpjMlhRSk50b0QvWnc1aG9MbldQMGRlSg
“Ugh, bleh”
The burden was so heavy, it was fatal enough to throw up mana. The colossal sense of responsibility was too immense…!!
“Blegh”
As highly condensed mana spewed from his mouth, smoke rose, and the floor began to melt.
“Huuh.. huuh… deep breaths… Wakamou, take deep breaths!!! Think happy thoughts!! Right now, VTubers from Sichuan in China and newly returned VTubers too, and reborn VTubers throwing off their past lives are coming out!! Everyone’s happy!! People like that are saying Wakamou, thank you, comments like that…”
Phurfaaaaaaaaak─
Mana spewed from the facial apertures when that wasn’t enough, and Wakamou was collapsed on the floor.
[Stats]
Magic Power: 4
[Additional Stat: 35]
Wounded mentally too severely to think of anything, he’s probably close to empty-mindedness or not even fainting.
Wakamou kept watching as the mana, which slowly recovered if left alone, returned.
[Stats]
Magic Power: 700,000
[Additional Stat: 35]
Exhaling deeply exactly at the set limit.
“So this bloody occupation has even restrictions?… Not good fuel economy for skills either. All things considered, it’s climbing using my pure capability… no decent items… sigh…”
Roughly covering the melted ground with dirt, Wakamou stretched out.
“You did it, huh…?”
[Hajime Ichigo]
Subscribers: 590,000.
[Mare Pirate]
Subscribers: 330,000.
Even if he didn’t know why he differentiated success indicators using VTubers’ subscribers… while contemplating releasing original songs and covers, Wakamou welcomed the approaching King of Authority, Masahiko Oyama, waving his hand.
“Well, welcome Wakamou-hime! You have become truly incredibly famous since I last saw you!”
“Well, it happened.”
“Some of the [Six Legged Beast] creatures are bloodthirsty craving to fight strong opponents. Could suddenly resort to wanting defeat? Be cautious.”
“The advice you give right upon arrival is quite fierce….”
“That ninja even lost an arm! Hahaha!!”
So long as life was not lost, ascending the layers healed wounds.
Regardless, even if losing an arm is said lightly, shouldn’t some gravity accompany it?
Wakamou walked Kyoto streets with the King of Authority.
Climbing the Kyoto Tower in an effort to conquer more towers like the Association President in Korea. He shared stories of so many apprentices flocking to his dojo that he could use two bodies, of occasionally needing to visit Wakamou’s shrine [Companion], and of how his daughter is a bit of a problem child.
“She’s quite the character befitting a VTuber.”
“Well, that’s all you need to do! Brother and sister being such friendly VTubers. I’d be delighted if Sadako continues martial arts saying she wants to grow strong like her dad”
“So the King of Authority. We’re collabing in Kyoto tomorrow, right?”
“That’s right?”
“Then I’ll wait in line from today, see you the day after tomorrow?”
“Ugh, uh?”
Upon reaching the collab spot, Wakamou stood determined in front of the entrance. Despite the surprised staff saying it’s actually tomorrow…? Right now it’s just noon? Wakamou was immovable.
Seeing the Fox Deity sit on the floor insisting to purchase goods first on collab day, the King of Authority displayed a troubled expression.
“Ahem, if you desire, arrangements with the Kyoto tourism bureau can be made to host a virtual-live collab broadcast. Collaborations can happen, yet you are so fixated on goods….”
“I WILL GO──!!!”
“My goodness…!”
“Even if they wish to collab, recognizing their boundaries should be reason to reject!! To receive goods only for myself would harm beloved fans!! Therefore, Wakamou Inarizushi shall sit and endure from now!! A tent is already here!!”
“Ah… Then… here, a numbered ticket.”
“Are you, indeed, a pro?”
As the amazed King of Authority looked on, the staff smirked saying they were used to this… and handed Wakamou a number 1 ticket, waving him off.
“”””Greetings Master!!!””””
“Alright! We are graced with Fox Deity today! Avoid causing inconveniences!!”
“Wow”
The dojo, so spacious upon previous visits, felt different due to the bustle of people filling it.
Even tourists photographing hard-training students are present.
As they inquired for photos seeing Wakamou enter, the King of Authority simply pointed at rules with his finger.
[Filming Fox Deity is improper. Please refrain from displeasure.]
Not a god enshrined in some shrine…but not being photographed was preferable for red pill exposure.
Yet, being fans, Wakamou shook hands and even signed autographs for requests.
For the jealous believers soon, he contemplated whether he must produce goods too.
“Sparkling…?”
“Hmm? Isn’t that natural?”
This was a shrine directly granted by Fox Deity. King of Authority felt wronged thinking what I’d been taking him as, he sulked.
“Haha…..”
Regardless, if someone didn’t have the title of Idol, internals weren’t even enrollment material for the shrine… Why solely decorative? The [Companion Buff] existed…
Ding.
[Will you expand the [Companion Buff] by consuming additional stats?]
[Available Purchasable List]
[The buff only applies to believers who worship Wakamou Inarizushi]
-[Within Companion range, HP recovery +5%]
-[Within Companion range, Mana recovery +5%]
-[Within Companion range, Energy recovery +5%]
-[Within Companion range, Disease recovery +5%]
-[Within Companion range, Mental recovery +5%]
-[Within Companion range, Production increase +5%]
-[Expand Companion range]
-[Produce small amount of [Fox Pearl] in Companion]
-[Produce small amount of [Inari’s Dew] in Companion]
…..
“So many…!!!”
The sheer volume of the list was shocking.
Did this function exist!!!?
He scribbled a few to check and showed them to the King of Authority.
“……”
Looking shocked, staring at me, yet even I didn’t anticipate this.
‘…Well, if this is possible, can’t [My Worlds] have a stat-based building addition function?’
[The tower adopts Wakamou Inarizushi’s opinion]
“Yes?”
[You can now consume additional stats from [My Worlds] to add [Buildings]!]
“….Then, shouldn’t you give stats for climbing the tower…?”
No answer returned.
Originally regretting the sparse rewards to give, saying something like this would be good if agreeable, throwing the message and vanishing.
‘Bloody hell….’
What on earth was this 『Legendary Class』 created for!!!? It’s an insult to VTubers!!!
Give me my damn rewards, lousy losers!! Threatening me if I don’t climb the tower, casually compiling and adding updates…!
Is this the sorrow of being a pioneer? Can I prepare a notebook thinking of a successor who may become a VTuber after my demise!?
Frankly… there’s so much to say.
‘It’s a game combining farm simulation with RPG and fantasy elements. Earning diligently, only to restart in another region due to different currency, the tedious open-ended method of extending game time…’
I lack words to express this damned feeling… Wakamou was lacking talented VTuber capabilities!!
“……[Messenger of the Idol]”
[You can permanently expend mana to produce a messenger]
[Currently, there are 2.2 million believers. The total usable mana is 2.2 million.]
[You can enhance growth by consuming additional stats]
‘Meaning… Assuming I can use mana up to 1.5 million and distribute it, roughly how’s the spec…’
[Wakamou Inarizushi can distribute 1,500 stats]
[For the growth of the messenger, including basic thinking abilities and skills, consume additional stats]
“So it’s an AI VTuber!! The tower programs it, and I’m the fool investing money!!”
[As per Wakamou Inarizushi’s confirmed information─ Close]
‘Dafuq’
[If the messenger dies, [Messenger of the Idol] skill and mana and stats used are permanently lost. Only 1 can be made]
‘Great bullocks…’
Calmly thinking, delaying this was better the later created.
Creating it at peak subscriber time would produce a tremendously strong climber.
However, Wakamou had no interest in climbers.
‘How might an AI VTuber be crafted…?’
Dreaming an ambition of producing an AI VTuber conducting broadcasts 24/7, simply pursuing that.
“Let’s accept it…”
“Are you alright?”
Mumbling surreptitiously, cursing and frowning Wakamou realized his surroundings were focused on him. ….Pardon this…. Pledging honesty, apologizing with a raised hand.
“No, above wished for the Companion to have a blessing if ascending the tower…”
“Oh…”
The King of Authority understanding it as revelation from the Inari deity nodded.
As expected, Fox Deity is different!!
“So intending to climb the Kyoto Tower?”
“I guess? Up to 30 floors is necessary.”
“Ho!”
Heading towards the [Kyoto Tower] to finish by complete strategies up to the 10th floor, thinking unnecessary complaining time wasted.
‘Calculating one by one makes difficulty rise, thus completing every 10 floors…!!’
‘…So you conquer it in sets of 10 floors…!!’
Wakamou says boldly stepping forward.
There are many disciples in the King of Authority’s dojo, so instead of any special effects, he decided to use martial arts.
A martial artist must not neglect the martial arts they’ve honed!!
To be honest, he wanted to test his [Idol’s Body] enhancement with plenty of mana regeneration to spare!
[Climbing the 11th floor of the Kyoto Tower World]
-Climber, test and prove your martial skills.
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
– Defeat [Yokai Nodepo] with [Attack Skill] (0/1)
– Face it with unwavering resolve…
“Sorry to all of you─this is just a vent!!!”
Even before the message screen fully appeared, Wakamou spewed out bats from his mouth, as a gigantic beast lunged towards Nodepo and struck its torso with a punch.
The impact was so powerful that with a loud bang, his punch created a massive hole in Nodepo’s body.
[Climber receives 3 bonus points]
[You gained 1 【Broadcasting Point】. Current : 672]
‘Now I remember, I have broadcasting points! There’s also divine protection!!!’
Three separate kinds of currency to manage? Damn this Tower─!!!
“Achot─!!”
At the 12th floor, 10 Maiqumi with flying heads launched an attack. Wakamou, soared into the air by summoning a camera as a foothold, unleashed kicks as if demonstrating Taekwondo breaking moves.
Crushing skulls like breaking boards and using them as stepping stones, performing flashy spinning kicks, arms and legs flailing in the air, exploding Maiqumi like balloons.
At the 13th floor, there appears a samurai ghost drawing a sword.
Three apparition warriors surrounded Wakamou, swinging their swords…but had even the unslayable samurai defeated.
Neither elite monsters nor elite boss monsters, mere lower-level monsters were now no match for Wakamou.
Grabbing the swords swung from both sides with his hands, lifting a leg backward to catch the remaining sword with his toes.
“Too slow!!”
Spinning on one foot and sending them flying, Wakamou used a sword to pierce the flying apparition warriors in a feat of skill.
Even with all angles covered through the camera, sharing that perspective while moving is a completely different story…
Already a common tale among climbers, Wakamou displayed a genius combat sense that went above and beyond, rampaging like a master.
At the 14th floor, an indeterminable blob of muscle Monohutche wanted to overrun him like a massive wave, only to be popped like a balloon with another punch.
On the 15th floor, fire-engulfed horse Bakotsu charged with intense heat at Wakamou.
It seemed it wanted to cover the entire field in flames to dispose of him…
But running faster than the horse, she caught and pincered it, showing it what it meant for a fox to hunt animals, then completely smashed it, breaking its spine.
On the 16th floor, immediately upon arrival, vision-obscuring [Blindness] sand was flung by the wickedly cackling Sunakake Baba, claws raised charging forward.
However, Wakamou, usually with eyes closed, casually redirected the attack by rotating his wrist and cut off its head with a palm strike.
On the 17th floor─ a Shirime yokai with eyes on its buttocks instead of a face fired beams, launching a barrage.
Wakamou, charging like a tank taking hits, rammed the massive yokai, and it collapsed pathetically.
On the 18th floor, Yamaarashi, spewing nearly irremovable quills like those of a porcupine, threatened to turn Wakamou into a cactus, with its grim chatter Ke-Ke-Ke!!
Even as the sharp quill tips touched him without penetrating, the Yamaarashi attempted to flee but was rolled up into a ball by Wakamou as he grabbed the beast and wrestled it into a sphere.
19th floor─
“Dieeeee──!!”
An intimidating Oni clad in a straw coat wielding a kitchen knife charged.
“Hoo…that’s impressive combat spirit”
Kang!
The knife made a metallic sound upon reaching what should have been the softest chest.
“To excel at handling a knife…just focus on that alone…
Wakamou’s sleek arm revealed from under his cascading sleeve.
As power surged, his skin seemed to wind tight like scales.
“Only sheer brute force matters!!”
At a single swung blow, the [Nama Hage]’s head disappeared, staggering then collapsing.
No one could stop Wakamou from boldly ascending to the 20th floor. Upon arriving, an opponent roared before him.
“Kuaaaang!!!”
[Climbing the 20th floor of Kyoto Tower World]
-Climber, fight and survive to emerge victorious.

– Remain unscathed (0/1)
– Defeat it within 1-minute limit (0:01)
“Come now”
The yokai bear, slightly smaller than Wakamou, flinched at her formidable presence.
The immense mana visible to the eye.
Facing Wakamou exerting his maximum body enhancement calculated to not kill, the violent bear attempted to turn and flee.
“The altitude of the finishing point…sea level….”
But not allowing it the chance, Wakamou lunged forward, linking her fingers with those of the bear’s forepaw that had risen.
“The one who holds their head higher…they shall be the victor?”
“Kuh…Kua….”
The bear’s knees buckled.
Unable to withstand Wakamou’s crushing force from above, the body of the yokai bear bent backward.
“Always run away from the climber…isn’t that right, tower…?”
Muttering with upturned lips and glowing red eyes, Wakamou released an ominous fighting spirit.
The scene of Wakamou’s face shown through the screen made the King of Authority swallow.
Did the Fox Deity, returned to the modern era, perhaps feel hungry for lack of worthy adversaries to combat…?
Though he had warned them, the powerful aura he sensed from the screen, as if they urged him to come to them, brought a smile upon him.
A life-and-death struggle fighting formidable foes…something not possible, nor should be done in this era…!!
“Not that I wish to return to that era but…I don’t even want to imagine how it would’ve been…”
[The 20th floor of Kyoto Tower’s Platinum conditions have been met. Announce the climber’s honor and glory]

Mana: 700,000
[Bonus Points: 72]
“Not bad…”
Lower floors…without a skill yet still at the 20th floor.
30 bonus points…were satisfactory.
-Fox Deity, why are you so mad….
-Was it because of insufficient tributes…
-No way…were the goods already sold out?
-Did perhaps a VTuber graduate?
-Did Her Majesty go on break?
-All these reasons pointing to VTubers lololol
-The Leader’s anger stems only from that lolol
“Shall we proceed further!”
Fueled with enthusiasm─ It was too easily smooth that even Wakamou was dumbfounded.
[Kyoto Tower] didn’t have any particular collaborations so it was merely a straight march upward.
Would they give additional bonus stats if he conquered Incheon Tower from now?
What if, instead of skills, they only provided bonus stats in exchange for attribute requirements?
Even while climbing the tower why isn’t the restriction lifted?
With various thoughts swirled through, Wakamou boldly ascended to the 21st floor.
‘Last time I climbed for survival, now it’s needed stats—how ridiculous’
After playing and leveling up diligently, suddenly an additional update makes it appear as though starting fresh with the character might be better…
‘Mana, Subscribers, Bonus stats, Broadcasting Points…damn…will there be more in the future? This is a trash game…!’
At this rate, at the end, the tower could very well tell Wakamou it gave him everything he wanted.
Normalized the Legendary Class. Made Wakamou healthy. Might it say something stupid like that?
“Squeee!!”
Flying squirrels dove in, exclaiming hug me~ as the sight led Wakamou to unintentionally catch them, affixed tightly to his chest.
As his face got buried in between, believers’ chat went berserk.
Meanwhile, Nobusuma bared its fangs, leaning forward to bite into Wakamou’s chest for a drink of blood as the chat evolved into a rocket.
“…Come to think of it, do you think it’ll come out if I’m suckled?”
-What?
-What did he just say?
-Mama Wakamou!!!! Goo-goo gaga!!!
-Please, just let me sniff once, please!!
-What comes out?! Are the Unicorns dying?
-Go!! Unicorns exempt MILFs!!!
-Not widows?
-LOL everyone went nuts LOL
Come to think of it, I could cry mana and use it to vomit, so couldn’t it come out from the chest as well…Reading the believers‘ reaction to that was a broadcast accident.
After beating down all 20 Nobusuma, Wakamou went up to calm down.
On the 22nd floor appeared Notsuchi, with a triangular head and a thick short body like a beer bottle…containing Tsuchinoko.
Bravely charging, it was torn apart left and right with its upper and lower jaws clutched.
On the 23rd floor, a long-necked old woman monster wearing a yukata appeared.
Seeing the famous Nurarihyon surfaced amongst the believers caused a commotion.
Even while hiding and moving stealthily was absolutely annoying, the moment it attacked Wakamou, its location was exposed and was split in half by a single kick.
On the 24th floor, the giant serpent yokai Numagozen emerged from the lake, transforming into a 6-meter-tall giant woman, capturing and lifting Wakamou.
Of course, it didn’t budge him an inch.
With arms locked, Wakamou slammed it into the ground.
On the 25th floor, Tofu Kozou suddenly appeared, unexpectedly striking with flying tofu that caused fungus all over the body upon impact…but Wakamou remained unaffected by the fungus and reprimanded it for playing with food, splitting its head with a chop of his hand.
The 26th floor had an ambushing ground shark pack moving to attack, only to be devastated by an increase in weight on the spot, rendering the ground like mounds of sand.
On the 27th floor, the giant wall yokai Nurikabe tried crushing him only to be shattered to bits…
The 28th floor had ghostly monks casting spells and wielding blades, but upon spell chanting, Wakamou responded with Idol’s Flame reducing them to ash.
On the 29th floor, monstrous crab…a giant Bakegani emerged. Trying to snap Wakamou, it ended up having its arm ripped off and its chest pierced.
-But wasn’t that too strong…?
-Does this makes sense…? Are all climbers this strong?
-It’s obvious the Leader might be insane ㅇㅇ.
-This strategy is completely unusable for reference…
“Everyone, no need to be so disheartened….huh?”
As he landed foot on the 30th floor, a resounding notification.
An event never heard of…no, impossible until now occurred.
“The Kyoto Tower has sent an envoy to the [Idol] and challenges you to a duel! O idol, revered in South Korea, conquer and subdue them to submission!”
-????? Did the Tower just speak???
-It said idol? Is it referring to Mr. Wakamou as an idol?
-Could this be a special event for each occupational class?
-Specifically for different races…all sorts of strange things happen.
[Climbing the 30th floor of Kyoto Tower World]
-O idol revered, show your will to the masses.
-Overcome and subdue to adhere.
-The Kyoto Tower challenges [Idol] to a duel by sending an envoy.
[Platinum Achievement Conditions]
-Do not back down against [Iizuna-style Onna Tengu] (0/1)
“Iizuna faith?”
The Tengu before him drew her sword in silence, and Wakamou also raised his sword.
And then, the white flame soared.
This wasn’t from Wakamou, but the Tengu’s sword burning in white fire caused Wakamou’s eyes to widen.
-Same color…?
-What’s going on? What is actually happening???
-The Leader is even surprised????
-Flames of Breathing incoming!
Spinning and forming a circle, the Tengu launched forward wielding swordplay of different substance and dimension compared to the technique Wakamou demonstrated.
Wakamou countered with [Kusanagi’s Sword], leaping and flipping, promptly shifting behind Wakamou with wings spread wide.
As the Tengu’s rapid fiery and thunderous sword strikes fastened with a twirl, Wakamou backed off receiving them in a storm.
Wind encircling around the sword’s body.
Eventually, the swords multiplied into nine blades aiming to stab and penetrate Wakamou.
But with a vast hand motion, Wakamou cut all of them down, amazing the believers watching.
At Wakamou’s backspin kick, the Tengu cloaked in lightning vanished into a radiant shape before his eyes.
‘[Thunderbolt of Idol]!’
Recognizing it was a skill Wakamou hadn’t learned.
‘Same class…!!’
The Tengu before him was an idol like Wakamou!!
With tremendous speed the Tengu unleashed strikes emitting thunderous sound, spitting fire, and windy whirlwinds shaving Wakamou.
Witnessing what almost seemed like seeing a natural disaster embodied within Tengu’s swordplay, believers became uneasy feeling Wakamou was falling behind.
Although trailing with his eyes while using both hands and legs, his opponent was practically a sword master and proficient veteran.
More so, wings allowed to wander freely unbound by gravity?
The entire space except the ground belonged to the Tengu. Wakamou using bodily enhancement struggled merely to counter leaving no need for explanation.
Almost seemed as if proving, this is what true idol’s strength is! This was the situation.
Ding─!
[A collaboration broadcast! The Black and White duo arrives!].
-Oh, a broadcast announcement appeared.
-Starts in 30 minutes then?
Buzz─
Concentration broken as news caught Wakamou’s attention, the Tengu’s blade hewn past the sword arm.
Despite being in dire straits─ Wakamou didn’t even panic, his eyes glued on the broadcast notification.
‘Limited edition character card with signature included?’
“I will factor your anger into this disintegration!!”
Believers witnessed. Though lacking awareness towards [Descendant of Phoenix], Hohemi isn’t there, hence you couldn’t see it either.
Simultaneously casting the skill and resetting the severed arm even from the distance fell into view.
Strengthening capacity of 10,000 stats instead of 1,000 through─ limited to mere 7 seconds, yet recovering mana surpassing consumption.
Essentially a 70 seconds restricted release..!!
Shooom──!!!
Too speedy, reaching the tower’s edge within a moment, the trace left behind from braking a straight mark lengthily extended across the ground.
The realization of being surpassed only came upon the Tengu belatedly turning.
Retrieving his sword while leaping, Wakamou blew his mana into it causing the vibrating blade to elongate──
As the Tengu hovered at the sole of its foot, the whole scenery seemingly slashed in a single blow.
It appeared as if slicing through space, but truthfully the blade was extended using stored mana.
Conversely, this was even more threatening.
Invasion of the overladen area with unpredictable sword swings, Tengu veered through aerial maneuvers for evading.
Within the realm where any openings remained unseen, as the scene unfolded juggling flames and lightning through unscathed reception, like a deity felt.
Wiggling, spinning triggering a sonic boom, the Tengu took flight accelerating toward Wakamou.
Both Tengu and Wakamou passing each other at simultaneously shifting phases.
The entire floor laid devastated hacked open in every direction.
The two swordsmen intersected almost cinematically…held in a breathless suspension briefly.
The Tengu fell veering, bleeding from a chest slash to its knees.
And drawing Tengu’s sword pierced through its neck, Wakamou discarded it, manipulating the camera’s angle finishing with an elegant resheathe and combed his hair back.
“It’s been a good fight, Tengu”

“Whew─ that was intense….”
[Kyoto Tower transfers [Messenger of Idol][Iizuna-style Onna Tengu] to Wakamou Inarizushi!]
“…..Eh?”
“Cough, Cough….”
This Tengu, still bleeding from the slashed wounds and on the brink of death, is supposed to be my messenger?
“Get healed, damn it bastard!!!! No, you must not die!! Wake up, my friend!!!”
Slapping cheeks to prevent passing out, urgently splashing potion to stop the bleeding.
Fortuitously yet grim, the tower restored it.
Initially resetting its stats.
“You damn bastard!!!! Return my super-powerful Tengu!!!”
[If the level is too high, it won’t obey the owner’s commands]
“So you sent me a high-level being to kill me?! Wasn’t a monster’s level unreadable? Does that not denote level 0?! Are you implying it’s Pokémon-style?! Give me a badge instead!!!”
Collapsing to the ground bawling like someone bereft of a home.
Because the tower was showing alert notifications so visibly, even members were speechless.
As the world seemed to be leaving from his cries, Wakamou was seen tearfully bawling, prompting the congregation to join in lamentation too.
