[Title: Let Me Show You the Jupiter Storm]

(Gif of everything disappearing — monsters, trees)

“Let me show you some real shaman magic.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been outside.”

“This is only possible because the tower is sealed.”

If a Jupiter storm hit the Earth’s surface, humanity would be doomed.

Why did all the shamans disappear?

We now perceive them as today’s idols.

It was mercy that crushed America with sheer force!!

Look at her heart! It’s filled with mercy and love!!

-Hey, you’ll die like that LOL

-“VTubers shouldn’t kill people.”

LOL it’s funny because that’s why they don’t kill.

If VTuber corporations are attacked, isn’t that the end of humanity?

That’s why the Japanese government is so thorough with their precautions.

Why are they so quick at figuring out stuff like this?

-Spooked that everything vanished except where the leader was standing.

-Creepy how they cut down all the towers.

-Can you withstand this…?

Can anyone endure that, seriously? LOL

It’s just like asking if humans die when thrown into space.

[Title: I Believed…]

(Gif of Wakamou turning into Sammiho and sprinting)

(Gif of Wakamou turning into a Three-Legged Crow and soaring)

True fox bursting through collapsing buildings and splashes.

True Three-Legged Crow soaring through clouds.

Was disappointed to find out that Tengu called Asuka is 100% human.

Isn’t there something in-between, leader… “Furry mode,” perhaps?

-Can the fur wrap around too?

LOL, only a handful of climbers can, they say!

Crazy people LOL

Seriously, those who love fur amongst climbers are all about that.

Even if they hide it, the tower reveals all preferences.

That’s why some climbers are relieved they’re not goat-marked LOL

What’s with that guy, anyway… never mind…

What must life be like for that guy, branded with animal loving…?

A global laughingstock… understandable even if he burned the world…

But what if that guy declares he wants to join the leader?

Our leader doesn’t kill, right, ’til it comes to humans.

LOL

LOL

More than that, why a white fox? Disappointed…

Are you saying it’s whitewashing?

It’s transformation magic; at least let us dream that much!

This is leader hating.

Hey, idiots, this isn’t the time. Check the café notice board. Things are wild!

??

Why are you here…?

Whoa, LOL, I’m going first, fools!!!

First-come, first-served, LOL

Did you just come to mock us, you jerk LOL

Wakamou makes the community crazy even with a single tower ascent. By now, it’s just a common scene.

Viewers who used to question how long they’d keep pretending to be a VTuber have vanished. Everyone’s just having fun saying, “Our VTuber is the best!”

Ichigo specializes in viewer participation broadcasts, Mare Pirate doesn’t game much but watches anime often and enjoys there. Wakamou is thrilling whenever he kills, making it fun.

Even when three aren’t broadcasting, Asuka constantly streams, sings, draws, and shares various information in a 24-hour broadcast.

The Wakamou Corporation was basically complete with these four VTubers; there was no shortage.

Each has unique traits, they don’t overlap, and when they collaborate, chaos ensues. Yet, it creates an ensemble effect that’s unimaginable.

Eventually, word spread, and people came flocking, asking why only they got to enjoy these shows alone.

People joking about running out of breath until a third episode drops after subscribing to watch Ichigo’s premium broadcast.

Those who got dangerously drunk following Pirate were warned to avoid Japanese young lady broadcasters, said to be as dangerous as World of Tanks. But jokes were on the edge.

“The only thing I can cosplay as is a victim that got hit by two nukes twice”

When requested to cosplay, Pirate’s crazy remark had his crew losing their minds.

I’m Japanese, so it’s okay to joke like this, he claimed, but it destroyed the crew’s mental state, reducing them to wandering ghosts in the community.

Newbies were shocked when asking why Asuka’s live stream time surpassed 1547 hours. Understanding that our higher lifeform hasn’t ended the stream since the first day struck them.

The direction of this company’s VTubers diverged too much from others.

Still, an unexpected announcement for a [viewer participation collab] surfaced in such a company.

Not just one or two but taking in 400 people raised questions about what kind of viewer participation event required so many participants.

The lenient conditions of merely being sane, not causing trouble, and subscribing for over three months added to the curiosity.

If selected, you’d receive some alert when the broadcast started. Don’t panic, just agree to participate, said the enigmatic note, furthering the mystery.

What kind of collab was this extraordinary VTuber Company planning?

In the meantime, a disclaimer below assured physical and mental shock wouldn’t occur, so relax and participate.

But who were they kidding?

These were viewers who watched insane broadcasts, as crazy as the streamers themselves.

There was unlimited trust that the Wakamou Leader would handle it!

“So… you’re asking me to be a test subject for a new [Skill]?”

“Please, Manager!”

“Well… let’s try it.”

Couldn’t just do it to anyone, but it seemed necessary to at least try it, so I requested Manager Wanda Haye to help test the skill.

Casting the [job-specific skill ‘Viewer Participation Channel’] on her led to an adorable Fox Spirit manifesting before Wakamou as a light gathered.

With [Wanda Haye] displayed above the Fox Spirit’s head, Wakamou blinked.

“[Oh… this feels strange?]”

“Looks like you can’t speak.”

Seeing a speech bubble emerge above with words written in it, Manager Wanda Haye looked up at her name overhead, chuckling incredulously.

Checking herself sitting with eyes closed, she watched herself bouncing and cute little limbs tapping the desk with a “tap-tap!” Manager Wanda Haye.

“[One punch, please.]”

“Oh, okay.”

Wakamou lightly tapped her as she guarded, sending her flying backward.

Rolling over, she hit the wall with a soft “thump,” sprang up immediately, found something to touch, and vanished with a light.

“Seems alright. Pain isn’t felt at all from hits or rolls it seems. This unusual sensation emerges anytime… how about trying out death?”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Whatever, you have to try, right?”

After several tests, it was confirmed that even if the Fox Spirit took significant damage and ‘died,’ the main body suffered no harm.

The Fox Spirit was like a harmless lightweight doll, exactly as it appeared.

It couldn’t speak, but a speech bubble would appear with words, and names hovered above, identifying different Fox Spirits.

If it’s like this, a viewer participation broadcast seemed feasible without issues.

Due to being a [summoned creature], it required Wakamou’s mana to maintain, so they decided to try with about 400 people.

The next problem was the location.

Having a wide-open plain in [My Worlds], he thought of fencing an area to prevent leaving and letting them play there. Maybe set up a swimming pool, a goal and ball… Maybe an improvised concert stage too?

Being their first viewer participation broadcast offered so many possibilities.

The contemplation seemed endless, so they decided to trial it with a small, cozy feeling first, then go big.

“Glad we won’t get stabbed hosting a fan meeting.”

“Why such deadly talks?”

“[The Six Legged Beast] requires constant caution.”

“Oh… right…”

“That’s why being a VTuber, without needing exterior activities, is a plus!”

It sounded like a high-class roundabout insult, but that must be his imagination.

Due to excessive work lately and suddenly being asked for [skill] tests, anger was understandable.

Let’s tell the Association President about a pay raise… With Jackson here, revenues should be high; let’s negotiate.

*

“So─ An alert will go out to ask 400 believers for [Viewer Participation] approval. They’ll possess a Fox Spirit to join in the VTuber broadcast. Even if they die, they won’t really die, and it doesn’t involve soul kidnapping or anything. However, just in case, lay down on a bed or sit in a chair before pressing? If outside, don’t press, okay? The real body would be left on the street.”

-If the real body dies, can we eternally work as Wakamou’s Spirit?

-Wow, that’s the real lucky ticket!

-Please free us from this sick body to the virtual world where VTubers live.

-VTubers have reached the stage of dragging reality into their virtual domain.

-What’s this collab after all, damn LOL

-No way you’d actually enslave us as laborers, right??

“If you become my slave, I’ll let you touch my chest. Just trust me a bit.”

-Damn, please enslave me now!!!!

-Free me from this sickening diseased body!!

-We can work as well as Jackson, Master.

-Let’s film a new piece titled ‘The Cotton Farm Foxes’ LOL

-400 competitors, think of that!!!

Sure, it was a relatively small pick.

But still, 400 is plenty large in number and all that.

“Now! Let’s begin the collab!”

With a crisp clap, he activated [job-specific skill ‘Viewer Participation Channel’].

Simultaneously, a notification typically viewable only by climbers popped up before the eyes of the picked 400 viewers.

Some, startled by the unexpected notification, accidentally hit decline. Others, teary-eyed outside, pressed decline. Wiser ones lay down on the floor instead of beds or chairs, fearing possible repercussions.

Eventually, what appeared in front of the non-selected viewers was a grand display of numerous [Fox Spirits].

“[Wow! What is this?]”

“[Wow LOL, it’s the real deal LOL]”
ㅋㅋㅋ It really cameㅋㅋㅋ”

“Wow~ So this is the Metaverseㅋㅋㅋ”

“Isn’t having your real name above your head a personal info leak…?”

“Hey, didn’t you read the announcement? They said names would be shown….”

“If you’re worried, you can just leave right awayㅋㅋㅋㅋ”

“Leader Jjoo Jjoo is so big! Ah! Save me!!”

“A giant is coming!!! Watashi ga eaten dasu!!”

[Fox Spirits] bouncing around energetically.

Their real names with endless speech bubbles floating above their heads.

Amidst this chaotic scene, Wakamou clapped loudly, drawing the attention of over 400 Fox Spirits.

Blowing a prepared whistle loudly and raising a flag high, Wakamou.

“This viewer participation broadcast is just a test, so if anyone causes trouble without listening, I’ll curse you?”

– Wow, that’s super scary.

– Feels like he’s serious, so that’s terrifyingㅋㅋㅋ

– Everyone, hands off the keyboard!!

– Wowㅋㅋㅋis this for real??

– Yep. My friend got selected, but he fell asleep right next to me. If I shake him, will the connection drop? I’m jealous, but so mad.

– Stop itㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

– Wow, the leader has all sorts of skills that never end.

– Can we climb a tower with all of us?

– Can’t even lift a stone, how would that workㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Just the situation itself seemed fascinating, with the Fox Spirits hopping around excitedly.

And as Wakamou guided them to the fence, he opened a path to the waiting three VTubers.

“Captain! Captain!! The crew is here!!”

“Step on us, superior beings!!”

“WowㅋㅋㅋIchigo is so big!!”

“Still just in the growth phaseㅋㅋㅋ”

“But she’s not as big as the leaderㅋㅋㅋ”

For viewers, the whole scenario seemed simply amusing. While it seemed someone might cross the line, they all lined up in front of Asuka to be gently stomped barefoot, suggesting they had grasped the basic etiquette and manners required for viewer participation.

“Can you drink alcohol? Try it”

“Is this okay??”

“Crazy captain!! Is it alright to meet the crew and do this??!? ”

Smiling slyly─

Seeing the Mare Pirate with a wicked grin, the Fox Spirits panicked and scattered in all directions. When one was caught by the tail and forced to drink, it struggled but nothing terrible happened, so the Fox Spirit yanked out the bottle and slammed it on the pirate’s crown.

“Mutiny is happeningㅋㅋㅋㅋ”

“Deck battle begins─!!”

“I can’t acknowledge you as a captain like this!! Go crew!!!”

“It’s a viewer event, why are you making them drink!!”

“Aack!!”

Pretending to lose, the pirate rolls on the ground, and Fox Spirits cheerfully rush over, kicking with popping sounds as they went. Some transformed into mist and escaped, seeing the pirate disappear, while others joyfully chased the mist, calling it a “Fog-Car.”

“Fog car!!”

“Wowㅋㅋㅋit’s been decades!!”

“Oldies, can your backs handle it?”

“My body feels so light!!”

The Fox Spirits couldn’t contain their excitement, hopping around while lifting and throwing balls their size, tumbling and rolling around. They jumped on trampolines and clung to jungle gyms, playing merrily.

Everyone forgot their age, turning into children, playing with pure joy.

Diving into the pool, paddling around, freely floating on water, throwing each other into ball pits…

“We’re not opening a kindergarten, right, Chief?”

The Mare Pirate asked Wakamou while playing a card game with Fox Spirits. Everyone was energized, playing around nonstop and completely forgetting about the VTubers.

They seemed to be running around captivated by foxes.

Mei Xiao Long Bao, installed roughly(?), and when she petted them, they flocked towards her.

Fox Spirits buried their noses in her three tails, lying still like they were dead, while others tried to drag them out.

The only peaceful part was on Ichigo’s side.

“Fight! Fight!”

“The loser gets out!”

Or maybe not..?

Two Fox Spirits fought using metal helmets, wooden sticks, and shields made by alchemy.

They clashed in a circle created by the Fox Spirits, with playful noises.

The losing Fox Spirit, upon falling, was dragged out, and the winning Fox Spirit got a cheek pinching and head petting reward from Ichigo.

Though Ichigo was nice, willing to reward them all, competition arose among the Fox Spirits, creating this chaotic scene.

Maybe the lack of pain allowed such competitive spirit, Wakamou wondered.

“Asuka cannot comprehend the trivial inferior creatures like water fleas. Is this so enjoyable?”

Meanwhile, Asuka was busy squeezing something between her thighs, in a sense, diligently working.

And then Wakamou realized something—there wasn’t a single [Fox Spirit] around him.

This feeling of alienation… this loneliness… why?

Feeling somewhat slighted, Wakamou, transformed into [Sammiho], nestled his head onto Ichigo’s lap.

Though surprised at first by the enormous fox head, Ichigo’s face soon brightened as she hugged and petted it affectionately.

“Ahh, healing”

“It’s even better up close”

“The Leader’s fur is super fluffy!”

“The Leader is great, but kind of intimidating to approach…”

“Wow, really huge”

“Is it six chests?”

“Hey?”

“Get a sword… I must behead him with a fellow believer’s mercy…”

“I want to dive in between them!!”

“Draw the sword!!!”

Fox Spirits turned into unicorns, wielding sticks while playfully fighting, biting, kicking, and bumping into each other.

Regardless of the viewers fighting or not, Ichigo was enjoying the fluffy fur of Wakamou, and Wakamou left it be, wanting them to feel jealous.

– Viewers really show all their levels.

– Why is everyone acting like children…

– The jungle gym and swings look hella funㅋㅋㅋ

– The ball pit and swimming pool look nice too…

– The slide must be fun too…

– Is it just me, or is this reminding me of my awkward school days?

“Oh, stop fighting followers. I’ll let you touch the tail”

Gazing at the childish fighting followers, feeling sorry, Wakamou stood up and handed over Ichigo.

And with a shake of his large tail, seeing the congregating Fox Spirits reaching out to touch the soft pads, he sighed and raised a paw.

Fox Spirits, full of joy, pressing and enjoying the softness.

“My followers! Come quickly and gather, kids!”

And at the end of the viewer combined stream was Hajime Ichigo’s personal concert at the outdoor stage.

Singing 2 original songs and 4 particularly beloved ones made the viewers especially happy.

In the middle of it all, wielding penlights in both hands, doing impressively precise cheer motions—a true otaku-style wotagei, Wakamou fervently supported Ichigo with all his might.

Ignoring the Fox Spirits, genuinely behaving as if they were just there for a live concert, singing passionately and energetically cheering, Wakamou!!

“Alright, crew members get ready!! Prepare to dive!!”

“[Oh]””[Oh]””[Oh my]””[Ah]””[Hmm-mmmm]”

“…..Ahoy!!”

“””””[Setting sail─!!]”””””

With a remarkably cold reaction, the Mare Pirate on stage was taken aback, then started singing joyously. Even Ichigo, still on stage, joined the singing─ after about 3 songs, Asuka arrived in midair, circling down to the stage.

“Master is here!!”

“Sing! Sing!!”

Fans expecting Asuka’s song waved light sticks, and the Mare Pirate and Ichigo, following Wakamou, also took up supporter sticks.

Grabbing a microphone, standing there silently, Asuka emitted a glowing aura and parted her lips in preparation.

“Hello, believers. I’m here to let you take something nice when you leave.”

“””””[?]”””””

“Ah, let’s see the merchandise. An acrylic character is engraved. It is often referred to as a key chain stand. Just 2,000 won each…”

“Get out”

“Promoting goods at the end of concerts is essential, Wakamou!!”

“This is just a viewer collaboration event, you idiot!!”

Jumping off the seats, Wakamou delivered a flying kick to Asuka.

Upon this, the viewers and Fox Spirits burst into laughter, bringing the first viewer collaboration stream to a successful conclusion.

Later in the community came boasts like “Tried being squeezed between Asuka’s thighs,” “Winner who touched Ichigo’s soft cheeks? Rewards with the Captain stepping on you? I touched the Leader’s paw pads. Couldn’t see because of the Leader’s fur (too bad)” and so on….

– The community turned into a madhouse.

– Go rant in your fan cafes!!!!

With such an unprecedented viewer collaboration, its impact was unparalleled.

Why only allow 400 participants, they said, fanning a blazing fan cafe, leaving no further need for words.

Bragging fans got skewered, tied on stakes—such was its peak popularity.

Waiting for the next viewer collaboration session over a mere three chapters of Seoul Retake… viewers’ laments filled the cafe.

Worthy of Russian literature, the overwhelmingly emotional creations by authors didn’t fail to draw smiles amidst tears.

And amidst that, when Wakamou posted certified proof of Ichigo’s soft cheeks, the cafe practically exploded.
