As always, it was a peaceful day….
Wakamou found himself jobless after getting stuck on the 51st Floor of the Tower.
He wanted to climb, but getting kicked out for trying to conquer wasn’t something even the Climber’s Association had records of, so they had no advice for him.
No, it would be more accurate to say that Wakamou could only come up with simple solutions.
The method was to enter a lower tower in South Korea, ignore the requirements for the Complete Strategy Layer, rush up, clear, and exit quickly.
However, while it was a great mindset for a climber, it was a minus for a VTuber.
Starting as a VTuber with the concept of climbing the Tower as a Fox Deity, how could he just clear the Tower alone without showing the believers?
Even if the Tower’s difficulty was horrendous, Wakamou couldn’t just grit his teeth and climb it in such a way.
Wouldn’t it be possible to climb the [Kyoto 100-Floor Tower]? But since it’s a 100-floor tower, it would probably whisper to block Incheon Tower from coming up, so it wasn’t trustworthy.
I just couldn’t trust the towers in East Asia.
Thinking about those I haven’t faced while climbing until now… my only hope was probably the American Tower across the sea.
Even those guys in England and Germany were popping out saying, “So, you’re that amazing? Let’s have a match!!” The rumors must have spread there too.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s really annoying?’
Other towers also created things like the Legendary Class, and perhaps out of jealousy, the Korean Tower cobbled together an incomplete mess.
If I had to describe it, it was like the fad of making [Mint Choco Rose Dog Meat].
From the job requirements, it was something nobody wanted to take.
But there was someone who would chow it down just because he liked it.
Oh?
And even as the difficulty rose, this guy wouldn’t give up, kept twisting his body, and broke through with all his abilities? Furthermore, showing the most ideal climber’s appearance?
Now, even the Korean Tower couldn’t stand it, going around and talking about it.
<>
[Hey, guys. I scraped a Legendary Class. This is UR, is it good? I’m not sure since it’s my first pick.]
It was like traveling around the Eurasian continent saying, “[Other tower friends, look at this clamberer I picked; isn’t it beautiful? Isn’t it?]” while bragging about it…..
Fusing the idols of the past with modern idols to create Michelin junk food!!
The Korean Tower made a new-age dish that other towers wanted to try out, tossing trials joyfully…..
“This is friggin’ bull, now that I think about it?”
“Mei, swearing is bad!! Are you saying Germans are like dogs?”
“I’m not saying it to Adelheid.”
No matter how I thought about it, this job was a total mess.
Reading my mind, pretended to offer skills balanced for me but reduced the rewards.
By treating the inside of the Tower as a VR World, easily clearing the Complete Strategy Layer’s difficulty became simple, but they raised the difficulty to [Terrifying Nightmare Hell Peninsula] level out of glee.
It didn’t even interlink with other jobs, so there were no [equipment] to offer to the Collector of China Tower and ended up giving them artifacts while saying, “You’re an idol, this is what you use.”
“Well, whatever.”
The Tower wanted me to be a VTuber, went up to the 50th Floor, and then got blocked from entering any higher.
Complaining about the tower wouldn’t change reality.
“Living a leisurely life ain’t so bad.”
Mei was basking in the sun, rolling around the yard, not inside [My Worlds], but now entirely separated from Wakamou.
With no worry about dying if Wakamou disappeared, the biggest concern was erased, and reporter slander decreased.
She was relaxing in the peach orchard of the shrine on [Wakamou 1st Floor], which now only honored her fame and glory.
Adelheid, like the artist she was, was meticulously painting and sculpting from the shrine’s wall to the inside, working tirelessly.
When tired, she climbed one floor of the tower and resumed working, showing insane dedication despite her first-gen debut being perpetually delayed.
Germany was stunned by the shocking reality of the [Artist] occupation and even encouraged her to return, but she had no intentions of going back.
Thanks to the expansive land, Jackson was not at home for several days, thrilled that the vast land was his sketchbook, constructing buildings and even camping outdoors.
Legendary Class folks were immensely passionate about their jobs.
Conversely, an aggressive class transparently revealed a person’s nature.
Of course, it differed depending on the job….
Anyway, as a fellow Legendary Class, what was Wakamou doing?
Having tapped into Mana’s lightning transformation, Wakamou now moved inside compressed time, capable of watching 7-hour videos in 70 minutes. Depending solely on mana recovery speed, he was watching tens of VTuber broadcasts daily.
And with the newly acquired skill [Tri-Mind Coordination 三腦互搏].
Practicing the movements shown by the Floor 50 Dalki through Mei Xiao Long Bao, doing laundry for the affiliated VTubers, cleaning, preparing meals, editing videos—it was like enjoying leisure time always.
He even had an extra body, so it was a particularly relaxed situation.
[Gang Yeoul], a new [Idol’s Body] crafted after the Dalki on Floor 50.
Although happy with increased mana capacity, sharing a single mana pool among three bodies seemed disadvantageous.
The aim was to blend Mei Xiao Long Bao and Wakamou Inarizushi, resulting in a character halfway between them.
Retained the Tower-given appearance, but always sported a smile, used polite language, and moved with elegant grace.
Even with such vague settings, it was a curiosity whether the tower would do a neat job.
And astonishingly, while it butchered the Legendary Class, upon request, it fulfilled the requester’s requirements perfectly.
Yet, except for the perpetual smile, she couldn’t make another expression, making her the world’s greatest villainess.
There was nowhere to use her despite creating her.
“Ah~~ What to do~~”
Wakamou was watching backlogged VTuber broadcasts, Mei had finished editing, washed the clothes, cooked, cleaned, and was now drawing the bath.
Having nothing particular to do, Gang Yeoul was just sitting.
“So~~ bo~~red~”
…. If asked whether being idle meant they truly had no work.
I’d suggest Manager Wanda Haye might split Wakamou’s head with an axe for saying such trash.
Due to the Wakamou 1st Floor Tower becoming accessible to conditional climbers from Korea, China, and Japan, it had turned into the largest logistics hub in East Asia.
Goods were left on Wakamou 1st Floor for another country’s residents to pick up and take away.
Thus, it allowed sub-second freight procurement surpassing rocket delivery.
Because of this, the Association President was dragged along to meet with the President and harassed here and there. Deputy Manager Wanda Haye, the next Association President, filled in and concurrently handled the manager role for Wakamou Corporation.
Wakamou survived only because he had no aptitude for paperwork.
If he worked well, he might have been locked in a basement, subsisting on dumplings.
But he wasn’t completely idle, tasks were attended to.
“Waaahh!!! Ohya ohya!!”
By demonstrating Wakamou eagerly engaged in a broadcast with a VR device on, at least he was guiding newly appointed managers.
“It’s our boss. Doesn’t change even after a thousand years.”
“I see….”
“In a sense, absorbed in work…?”
The work division for handling duties with new managers, review of videos editors had produced, and checking thumbnails crafted by the Thumbnail Maker for selection were done.
Monitoring viewer reactions to recently uploaded [Seoul Recapture Part 3] and reviewing fan cafe posts for feedback about making changes.
The latest upload received feedback of being chaotic and cluttered. Due to cramming too much content, it felt jumbled.
However, the final [Energy Blast] by Wakamou had definitively hit the mark.
Since no one had expected Gosunde to be hurled into the sky and that technique to be used, everyone was laughing, saying “No believers haven’t seen this, trusted it would happen lol” while grinning.
It felt like narrowly ending with a match fix win.
If managers cared for VTubers, then daily life was Mei’s responsibility.
“Yaug uwejo jeya ugeor guodaehdeu chimoha…”
Liu Ying, gripping her pen in her mouth, drooling while diligently practicing pronunciation.
Her unique, short, and cute accent was a charm, but conversely, it could be a critical flaw.
It was.
When she got angry, her pronunciation got clearer, so she practiced diligently, thinking it could improve.
She didn’t skip singing or dance practice, and kept climbing the tower at every chance, despite failing several times to park on the 50th floor.
Patted her affectionately and praised her progress, checking the used consumables and continuously purchasing the necessary materials and new ingredients to stock her apothecary.
“You asked what’s in the fridge? Of course, it’s healthy veggies! I think even though I like meat, I should eat more vegetables!”
“Pirate, why is the fridge filled with bar snacks? It’s all pickled stuff…”
“Ah! Mom! I told you not to come in during a broadcast!!”
– LOL
– Mei could have been my mom!!
– If it were Wakamou, you’d be smacked.
– Drinking alcohol means eating healthy vegetables anyway, lol
– Haha, not technically wrong lol
As for Pirate, the great ambition that brought her to Wakamou, declaring she’d be as strong a Climber as her father, seemed forgotten.
Every day, she bought and collected drinks from abroad like a collection, alternating between alcohol streams and talking about cars.
Finding joy in playing messy, shoddy… what they call trash games, voluntarily putting herself through torture.
In terms of broadcasting, her immediate reactions were a hit with the crew.
Every day, expecting what bizarre game Pirate would bring next.
Since she was Japanese, she dubbed Japanese games without Korean subtitles with vivid accuracy, even making facial comedy, thus generating plenty of editing material.
In a sense, she was meticulous, constantly creating separate playlists for each game to improve ease of access for the crew.
Although he wished she’d drink moderately as she couldn’t climb the tower now, Wakamou couldn’t find a way around her invincible logic of fixing damaged liver again with “Shape-shifting,” so left it be.
Despite her behavior, she woke up every dawn to train diligently and quietly practice karate.
Meanwhile, Mei organized and stored the alcohol Pirate ordered in the fridge.
“I brought new computer parts!!”
Asuka insisted on getting the best equipment for anything, from ASMR, bought audio gear, and modified her computer to maximum performance.
The problem was she favored a plumber who liked mushrooms.
She bought a proper tablet to draw pictures desired by primitive life forms.
And she got a top-tier microphone to sing.
As a foodie god living both as modern-day AI and VTuber, she was arguably the most costly.
But it was because she understood Wakamou’s Tower 1% revenue at Wakamou Corporation, allowing her to spend freely.
“Today, we will play a Human Annihilation Game. I will become an alien killing primitive life forms.”
– Always dreaming of human annihilation….
– How does the Leader even raise her?
– Maybe she is raising her well.
– They said they learn from us, so it’s our fault.
– Die, you who posted animal genitals!!!
Initially worried, but because she was indeed AI, she gradually learned, accumulating data here and there, becoming familiar with broadcasting and transforming from a seemingly robotic VTuber to an emotionally rich one.
Of course, minor errors occurred occasionally, but they were adorable at most.
Like picking up ramen with her hands… Honestly, it was quite surprising at first.
Handed the package that arrived at the Climber association from abroad to Asuka, and Mei checked the schedule.
“6 years since I started broadcasting already. Has it been 11 months since I debuted as a VTuber?”
Time flew by as I lived hecticly.
‘First anniversary broadcast, birthday broadcast, live concert, prepare for goods sale…. Also need to explore wiki, collabs, and new game streams.’
There were really many things to do. Or maybe, to be accurate, things I wanted to do?
Especially, I was quite looking forward to the wiki.
What kind of nightmare fusion would the misunderstandings and misconceptions, piled up and piled up because Wakamou didn’t disclose, become among the believers?
Introducing herself as Jiang Yeoul, they tied her surname to Jiang Ziya and other Fox myths, spinning stories that were just amusing for Wakamou to observe.
“Need to climb the tower”
Before heading to [Wakamou Floor 1]’s Costco, decided on curry for the menu, buying ingredients for dinner preparation, with Wakamou sighed.
Being the origin and the identity of Wakamou as a VTuber is [Climbing Fox Deity] concept, meant she had to climb towers during VTuber broadcasts.
“Wow! They’ve got a burger chain? Junk food once in a while isn’t bad…. Ah”
Snapping back, Mei who ordered burgers, fries, and soda, and even picked coleslaw, chicken nuggets, and ice cream got a beacon light over her head.
“Come to think of it!!”
Embarrassingly, she had completely forgotten.
“[Robert Duncan Smith said! So, you mean….]”
SDVIMVFoanVzY1YwSVhjamMząkt1UldJZnZQemRwemdmYmdPWi9jUUx4MTlUUm9vVjN0iXc1ndU5nNEhhZg
“Mei Xiao Long Bao. Just think of it as one of the Wakamou’s.”
“[Isn’t she the mysterious Young Lady of Asia! Checked the email! A tower in the USA worth climbing…there are many towers in the USA as you know. But due to the large population, towers from 30 to 50 floors are quickly tackled, you see?]”
“How do resources supply up when towers are completely tackled?”
“[As I said, there are many towers. To become stronger and climb high towers, you first conquer the lower ones.]”
Received the regretful news that if she were to come to the USA, she’d need to choose at least between 60 to 70 floor towers.
A question arose if climbing all of that wouldn’t make it higher than the Incheon Tower Wakamou had climbed.
‘Need to notch at least 50 floors of the Kyoto Tower too, anyway’
“[How about the newly built 60-floor tower at Tampa Tower Town? As you know, many cute novice climbers gather there.]”
“Shall we, then?”
“[Looking forward to the broadcast! Always enjoy watching! ]”
Always cheerful when called. Truly gives the vibe of a good human being, should I say?
Broadcasting the tower climb in America….
America has plenty of VTubers.
Some with such sharp tongues they’re practically toxic, giants, furries, and those full of unique character.
Furthermore, isn’t English ‘the most used language in the world’?
Its diversity of cultures is another of its big features, and VTubers in Japan using English even exist because of it.
That much indicates how significantly large the American market is.
If you pick the top among them, the group called 『Mythical Claws』 at VirtualLive would be it.
Gold riders perceived as the dawn of the Western VTuber world, reshaping VTuber history, and acclaimed as a living myth!
Among them, Wakamou would choose the time-traveling detective.
Including the ability to design content, a leader dedicated to utilizing her strengths for her peers.
Of course, none of them would lack outstanding abilities among the Mythical Claws.
Wakamou Corporation’s climber VTubers are somewhat similar too.
…The current image Wakamou presents differs from before, and it’s time to show a fresh, innovative side once more.
Experiencing new [Skills] too means combining these or attaching those here.
Couldn’t quite get the feel yet…. What would Americans like?
They might enjoy something flashy and intense.
For certain, the focus was completing a climb unlike with [Kyoto Tower], so it would be a swift ascent while showcasing.
There’s no need to feel obliged to create a [Complete Strategy Layer]!!
Honestly, it’s just aiming to maintain records made so far without wanting reduced rewards.
“Need to watch VTuber broadcasts”
Even if Wakamou watched VTuber broadcasts, Mei also turned on VTuber broadcasts…!!
Meaning the potential to enjoy twice as many VTuber broadcasts!
As Mei was viewing Western VTubers broadcast.
She noticed a VR broadcast that caught her eye.
“That’s it!”
