Chapter Title: It Was an Indescribable Affair
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The guild master's VTuber theory makes my brain melt every time I hear it.
No wonder Ichigo sees the guild master as a cute little beast.
What she showed by climbing the Chinese tower out of spite.
She smashed the demon who was kidnapping people for brainwashing education.
Sapa's Mei won.
She even used divinity in the end—doesn't that make her a god already?
Anyway, the Ultimate Being has been born!!
-Kidnapping kids pissed her off so bad she climbed to the 10th floor lololol
-Got hit with a total no-show from the guy they were prepping for.
-That shorts video of the Chinese tower getting wrecked was brutal.
-But where the hell did guild master pull that bastard from lololol
ㄴWhere'd she pull him from...? That was the elevator, dude...
ㄴCould've been on the express line too. You know xianxia?
ㄴWhite Myth: When's the Mei game coming out?
ㄴJourney to the West's Sun Wukong is actually our guild master, got it?
ㄴKinda feels like it from the way she acts.
[Author: Baek Hwa-ryeong]
[Title: Let's Learn About the Ultimate Lifeform Mei]
The perfect organism Mei reached after awakening to divinity!
First, invincible!
Second, never ages!
Third, never dies!
Fourth, possesses the abilities of all creatures—and surpasses them! And her form is as beautiful as a Greek statue!
Sleep - Unnecessary.
Sex - Unnecessary. Lower animals have more offspring because of high mortality risk. Thus, a perfect being needs no progeny or companions. The pinnacle is always singular.
Purpose as a living being - Other creatures preserve their 'species.' But she creates the world as she pleases.
What kind of terrifying existence is this... I'm shitting myself!!
-Why is this real ffs...
-Araki boss!! Do something!!
-Didn't Araki seal this thing? lololol
-Growing her followers to bring peace to the world so everyone watches VTuber streams...
ㄴAt this point, don't we need VTuber welfare laws?
The world was abuzz once again.
Meanwhile, the other Wakamo Corporation members were just casually doing their VTuber streams.
Only Sadako had caused trouble, but Wakamo—bedridden and unable to do anything for five days—lacked the energy to scold her and let it slide.
After all, Sadako had lugged Wakamo all the way from Germany with grunts and groans.
She could've used [My Worlds] or [Wakamo 1st Floor Entry] to make it easy, but Wakamo made her walk as punishment for reflection.
"Jehahaha!! Guild master!! You think a body I've trained by hauling booze kegs is anything special?!"
Of course, Sadako laughed merrily, claiming Wakamo was no heavier than a feather.
Wakamo considered cranking up the [Weight of Faith], but decided that was just plain bullying and dropped it.
'Ugh—'
[Idol's True Form] was unusable due to [Overload].
When functions halted, no matter what she tried, she couldn't move the idol's body at all.
Other [skills] worked fine regardless, and in this state, she had the sensation that even zero mana wouldn't kill her.
On the flip side, freed from mana constraints, her mana levels skyrocketed, leaving her staring in stunned awe.
Could this be useful later if played right? Like plopping down and going "North Star Divine Righteous Fist!!" for an instant-kill vibe.
Conversely, without limits, recklessly burning through regenerating mana might overload [Idol's True Form] beyond repair and cause it to explode.
That'd be way too lame, though...
What's the difference between chugging elixirs to fight and me yelling "King Kai Fist—!!" myself?
Is it that mana doesn't hit zero and stays fixed, versus patching it with recovery?
Anyway, Mei and Wakamo had to spend five days listlessly lying in bed.
Adelheid and Olga didn't need to feed them, and with no bedsores, they still offered care like feeding or flipping them over.
The 0th gen knew from experience that Wakamo never spoke carelessly, so they left her to rest.
They just dusted the shelves where figures and merch were stored.
Since Wakamo was always in her room and never went out, Yu Ying would drop by often, cuddle up for naps, and even sleep together.
If Aska or the fox god tried to hog the spot to tease, she'd glare with the most hateful look in the world... which was kinda the point of the mischief.
[Shao Liang]'s case: She teamed up with Yung Wei to restore the Sichuan region and handle [martial world] cleanup.
Wakamo hadn't paid attention, but Shao Liang steadily claimed rewards up to the 84th floor, and got extras when the [Korean Tower] declared [Domain Proclamation].
[Wu Zun] ended up a crippled wreck unable to fight anymore and was thrown in prison.
If she hadn't held back from killing, there really would've been no chance of winning—he was that strong.
Who'd expect [exclusive skills], [exclusive weapons], and even a [demonic art] that drained climbers' lives...?
Does getting higher mean getting closer to the 【Gods】? Wu Zun Yao Fang's final form was undeniably far from human.
The sensation during the fight... felt like an [Apostle].
For that one moment, wasn't he the [Chinese Tower's Apostle]?
Still, it was a close call. Even with a hidden trump like [Demonic Qi].
Of course, they held back a few cards too. Nearly died from a slip-up, but they won, so no issue!!
'Got a ton of tower coins from the Korean Tower, so gotta buy something...'
The vivid pain from so long ago left her utterly drained.
She felt like she needed to classify how [精神]-targeting attacks worked to avoid damage.
—Seriously, she just boarded the descendants on the tower bus, and how did things spiral like this?
No regrets, though.
Kids are precious. At minimum, people deserve freedom as long as they're not harming others.
'........'
Close her eyes, open them—hours gone.
Did she sleep...? Exhaustion-drenched languor... how long since she last felt this?
Getting addicted would be bad. Limbs gone limp like soaking in a hot spring—oddly pleasant.
'This ain't bad...'
Nothing to do, so she watched VTuber streams while mentally replaying the battle.
The newly acquired [divinity] didn't link with any 【Idol】 class skills.
[Qi] could sorta amp fist techniques or martial arts, but [divinity] was limited to a coating sensation.
Couldn't stretch it far before it dispersed, hard to hold shape. Needed constant mana feed to maintain.
Felt like the [Light] from [VTuber Assets].
Still, free from annoying weaknesses like [Mana Burn]—tactical options exploded.
'Next time... I can use it...'
Close eyes, open—Asuka staring down intently.
"You're awake, patient. It's 2564 now."
"Has our dragon Kiryu returned...?"
"Dunno about that. Dragon Ball Super General Sparking Direct Final ZZ is out."
"Aw, gotta buy it again..."
No expected stiffness—Wakamo rose smoothly, rolling her shoulders.
Watching her, Asuka griped a bit but delivered good news: Inari Fox God successfully became Japan's Prime Minister.
The true [East Asian Federation] was born.
News showed Russia's and Korea's presidents, China's chairman, and Japan's PM together shaking hands, pledging continued peace.
Overseas called it the birth of a nation-scale [America] in East Asia—a historic moment.
Wakamo's four believers watching? All Wakamo Corp affiliates—earning them 【Black幕 (lol)】 nicknames.
Hiding as VTubers, but really brainwashing for world conquest? Wild conspiracy theories emerged.
Asked Robert—he scoffed, "Who'd believe that nonsense?"
Relieved it wouldn't foreshadow anything.
"I'm Wakamo Corporation's brain! Brilliant! Wise! Wakamo Inarizushi!"
-Welcome back guild master lololol
-Clarify that backroom stream pls.
-Told her to explain and she got dissected, buddy.
-But Wu Zun that fucker got what he deserved.
-Fr real lololol
-Kidnapping? Murdering kids? Guild master's eyes flipped.
-Real pissed, turned on divinity, got hurt and bedridden—hilarious.
-Guild master can get sick huh...
-Seeing her in bed hurt my heart a bit.
-Glad she looks healthier.
-If guild master collapses, four countries collapse.
-White fox is Virtual Live's pillar, we're Black Fox pillar.
-Between white fox and black fox, who's better at work?
-Ask that and black fox kills you for insulting white fox.
-Suddenly turned into creepypasta.
"Today's stream—! A fan on the fan cafe requested a challenge stream, so I stole it for an easy one!"
-Aw lolololol
-Honesty is guild master trademark.
-Better than nothing lololol
-Schedule's backed up af!!!!
-Still kept up with VTuber streams tho.
-Even sick can't stop streaming... why?
-Same as you can't stop jerking off.
-She's a girl.
-Spare me.
-But I get it.
-Wut.
-Wtf.
"Now now! Stop playing among yourselves! You all get rowdy and have fun when together, feeling left out?"
"Then show us guild master's prince sword."
-This guy's insane wordplay.
-Got banned instantly lolololol
-We bid farewell to another hero today...
-Gave us big laughs... well done!!
"Okay— this challenge! Randomly threw stuff together: 0th gen VS 1st gen!! Challenge based on random card draws!"
"Uh, what's in it?"
"Told AI to whip something up."
-Aw guild master lololol
-Why's it getting lazier over time.
-Stream's too comfy now!!
-Back in clipper days, lived off Yas! Utsuge! Yabai!
-Ah, regressing to beast mode!
"Why not use Asuka?"
"I'd trust Pirate quitting booze first."
"I quit booze."
"Y'all just live with lies on your lips."
"Lies are cute tho."
-Mamiya what are you lololololol
-Right lololol shark cute lololol
-Expression like zero clue wtf.
-Boasted about new clothes again today.
-Normies don't get our vibes...
-Pirate's shameless af lololol
"Anyway, back to today's stream theme!"
They alternated drawing papers from the box for [challenge topics], pitting 0th gen against 1st gen. Collabs always devolved into chaos anyway, so she set the stage for them to brawl from the start.
"Obviously, Wakamo's judging."
"Mei Shao Long Bao here."
-What about the descendant.
-Just straight-up twins.
-Mei alter lololol
-How's a descendant a triad boss...
-Just confess? Possible?
-How many kids did she pop exactly!!
"Shut up!! You think I knew she had descendants left!! She'll grow up like Wakamo after 10,000 years!!"
"Stop spilling my age."
-Really shaved it down modestly by 10x.
-Feels like knocking off 10 years~
-10k years and guild master's still youngish.
-Nah, that's back to Neolithic era.
-That's why guild master slays those games~
-Ah lololololol
No hiding the descendant thing—just RP'd it. Felt bad for Shao Liang using her life as Wakamo's VTuber stepping stone, but Wakamo planned to hook her up: weapons and items snatched from Wu Zun, the organization, academy fees for next-gen chairman after Yung Wei, teach [skills]... all of it.
Even Yung Wei called Wakamo extreme, but scolded Mei for worse—12 brutal academy schedules had Shao Liang tearing up.
But for Koreans, piling academies is "common sense," right?
Even Yu Ying got scared of overbearing parenting, hiding behind Yung Wei.
Daughter!! Our Yu Ying!! How could mom do this!!
"Why are President and Mei looking sad?"
"Our Ichigo hit puberty..."
"Raising daughters is pointless..."
"My elite mom must be ashamed of her special forces-to-VTuber daughter."
"This brat'd actually quit if told to."
"Damn, busted."
Pipkin Mamiya tsked at the missed chance. Her sharp tongue contrasted her sparkling eyes and cute face—chat already exploding with laughs.
Prep done—0th and 1st gen lined up, minus Mei and Wakamo.
0th: Ichigo, Pirate, Asuka. 1st: Iosif, Adolf, Pipkin.
Kang Yeo-ul brought and set down the box.
-Where's the manager?
-Guild master caused trouble, didn't wanna get chewed out so gifted panda cub ㅇㅇ
-Caught on zoo live cam.
-Manager... that path leads nowhere...
Manager should've helped, but she was busy at the zoo playing bear with the baby panda.
Gotta let her enjoy work happiness like that, yeah.
Anyway, collab started—Ichigo strode to the box.
"Ichigo!! Please draw something sane?!"
"Show us the emperor's luck!"
0th gen's reluctant leader Ichigo nervously rummaged in the box.
Drew [One Chip Challenge]. Showed the paper—Pipkin Mamiya sweated bullets.
"Uh—that got discontinued... people died eating it, right?"
"Jackson brought 10 boxes."
"Aw, that fucking nigger. Useless."
-lolololololololololol
-lololololol
-lolololololololololol
-I'm scared af!!
-Spews slurs right to his face lololol
-Important: They're super tight.
-Same American roots, meet up sneaky often.
-Cop and criminal duo... white chick black dude...
-Ugly so nah.
-Don't stick fingers in Jackson's fragile heart!!!
-Jackson don't need a girl like that?
-Jackson calls her Dixie. Yankee synonym.
Handed the box to blank-faced Ichigo.
Race: which team finishes the one chip first. Wanted one per person, but climbers are tough—even so, throat damage kills singing streams. One each it was.
Ichigo lifted the pitch-black nacho chip (Scoville 2.2 million), Pipkin Mamiya—1st gen's spice toleranter—pushed forward.
"No way! Germany's and Russia's worst spice reps team up on me?! 'Cause I'm American? I'm hurt?!"
"No spicy food in Russia.... Can't even handle vodka...."
"You think I look tough enough for that?"
Iosif and Adolf's "this is nuts" faces clued Mamiya in.
"Damn, it's logically perfect now. Sigh... Yard Pound's blessing on America's guardian god... give me strength...!"
"Not even Native American, will it work?"
"DNA test said 1% African descent!"
"You just swabbed your mouth, right?"
"Wanna fight?"
Adolf's savage shot cracked Mamiya's facade—she pouted legit pissed. Wakamo and Mei pitied them already fighting, as Mamiya psyched to shove it in.
Meanwhile 0th gen:
"I can do it! Lived a year in Korea! Ate tons of spicy!!"
"Asuka not eating, so please finish it! Yu Bi = Sichuan! Sichuan = Sichuan cuisine!!"
"......Fuck it!!"
Ichigo shoved it in, crunched boldly.
Mamiya watched like "trying hard..." and set hers down, calling impossible.
"Ah, Mamiya forfeits quick. No greed for the prize?"
"Wakamo's Wish Punch, wasted like this."
Wakamo and Mei commentating genuinely bummed—no fun without effort. Mamiya whipped around like "prize exists?"
Iosif and Adolf shocked: "You didn't know? No announcement read?"
"Nyam!"
Mamiya telekinetically slurped hers in. Both shoved in and swallowed.
Milk bowls placed before the non-freaking-out climbers.
Longest endurance wins!
"Hold out longer, get another~"
Mamiya face-planted into milk.
"Puhaaa!!"
Elite rolled on floor spewing milk from nose and mouth, screaming.
"Achoo!! Achoo!! Burning!! Fire!!!"
"Help!! Real help!!" wailed rolling Pipkin Mamiya.
Ichigo, concerned, had Pirate cautiously offer milk.
"....Ichigo, you okay?"
"Adults' shame makes my face burn—I'm good."
Unknowingly adapted to Sichuan cuisine?
Yung Wei's feasts whenever visiting helped big time.
Pipkin Mamiya dragged out like war casualty—Adolf stepped up.
To overcome 0:1, carefully drew next paper.
"Ah! [Word Guessing]! Guess the word floating over head!"
Soon, [Monkey] over Ichigo, [Unemployed] over Adolf.
-Word picks got malice.
-lololololololololololol
-Humans ape monkeys. Gods ape humans...
-But explainable?
Speed quiz—no direct hints! No pantomime! Alternate questions rule—game on.
Confident Asuka shot hand up.
"Alcoholic skips home all night drinking—what comes to mind?"
"Miss you?"
"Asuka is trash. Dispose please."
Ichigo's pure reply floored Asuka instantly.
Warm 0th gen vs. 1st gen: lipstick-lipped Mamiya and Iosif pondering.
"Uh.... Job a year ago?"
"Artist."
"Not that! More honest!"
"Cancer patient? Abandoned orphan? Beggar? Defective? Hitler aspirant?"
"Didn't say that far."
-Temp difference lolololol
-Iosif lips sealed lolololol
-Russian situational awareness.
-Do something!! Aw lololol
-What was the real answer ffs lolol
-Pls!! Stop that!!
Somber 1st gen. Mamiya soothed burning guts with milk.
Pirate's turn—she schemed.
"Uh..uhh.. New figure, checking panties like pervert, getting excited, beast-noises guild master reminds of!!"
"....."
"Hey asshole why silent!! Answer popped in head!!! Don't avert eyes!!"
Pirate's sharp question—chimp? Gorilla? flashed in Ichigo's mind.
Nearly blurted "monkey"—averted Pirate's gaze to sky.
Iosif, natural turnover, pondered.
Gotta go comedy here.... Can't flop with glasses—funny joke time.
Unsure, so 1st gen bond question!!
"Uh..uh... Irreplaceable 1st gen commonality!"
"All ex-unemployed?"
Peer bond whatever—this guy's ex-quitter too gaze exposed brutal truth—Iosif winced.
All 1st gen 20s, ex-workers—only commonality: quit jobs!
"1:1! Excellent!"
"But this bonding teams? Where's gen friendship?"
-Fr?riendship?
-Bond? Edible?
-Vertical read: milk lol.
-Ah! Got it!
-Ichigo eye dodge lololol
-No more losing guild master favor...
"Round 3! [No Reaction]! Simple: any player including teammates laughs or rages—out!"
"Ah, trickier than thought."
AI food god VTuber Asuka opponent. Iosif Khan up—but foe's emotionless robot.
Laugh Ichigo or Pirate. She confident in stone-facing.
Army emotion control training prepped her.
"Feels like I saved a country in past life, Iosif Khan."
"...Huh? Sudden praise?"
Expected Asuka venom—instead praise, Iosif scratched head.
"So met Wakamo President?"
"Nah, face more general than idol."
"Wanna fight?"
"Come east Buyeo, punk."
"Pffft."
Wakamo and Mei burst simultaneously at Asuka's line. Crew stared confused at giggling duo—match continued.
"Does heartless AI VTuber know humor?"
Iosif wisely switched tactics.
Asuka jokes could crack Ichigo/Pirate.
Allies vulnerable!
"Once a month ish."
"Fr?"
"Would I? Reptiles... daily outfits total dogshit. Inari Fox God tier. Dentures gotta confiscate."
"Hic...hff..."
"But White Dragon. Why so down today? Rare collab?"
"Nah, nothing. Dentures confiscated maybe."
"Pffht."
Pipkin Mamiya exploded at the zinger.
Ally burst—Iosif rage-tossed glasses at her.
Meant to hit—perfectly landed instead.
"Puhahahaah!!!"
Asuka clutched belly, collapsed laughing.
-Ally K.O. lolololol
-How hold that in lolololol
-Miracle gag ffs lolol
-Martial world's #2 returned lololol
-Skit insane lolololol
Iosif's strat bombed—2:1 sad state.
Glanced at teammates fearing grudge—warm gazes returned.
Air-treated daily, finally big boom...
Gen bond real—eye contact, Pipkin quipped.
"Acquired enhanced [Glasses Body] skill."
"""Puhah!"""
