Chapter Title: VTubers Have Many Viewers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VTubers have tons of viewers.
Clips made by clippers get watched no matter where people are from.
When clippers spread the word about overseas VTubers domestically, sometimes those VTubers even show up in person.
Just like how that big queen from some Märchen Kingdom remembers what clippers say about her kingdom's national religion being the Church of Sweet Dreams.
They might not say it out loud, but someone's always watching.
Viewers are everywhere. Some might overlap by chance with the VTubers they're watching.
That clipper [Dduk Meet] ended up getting kidnapped by Churros, who debuted out of love for orcas, didn't he?
The clipper called [Pink Revit] gave overseas VTubers unforgettable nicknames.
VTubers and clippers share this inseparable symbiotic relationship. Companies even sponsor them sometimes.
As a clipper herself, Wakamo knows that a VTuber's concept is crucial.
Take [Chicken Pizza], for example—a VTuber with a cute avatar and voice who spews vicious insults and thick profanity. But with similar concepts like American Izunyangi, FIFA Punkaropi, Walmart Pekoyama, Chibikin Chibia, and Chibi Pumpkin Toki, she's got all sorts of nicknames.
So, won't 『Hajime Ichigo』's debut be a success?
She thanked the manager who mobilized pros the moment she reached out and delivered a 2D LIVE model in just one day. Wakamo worried it might be too much, but the manager said it was the bare minimum and to ask for more without hesitation.
Maybe she should've just asked for a single nail.
Anyway, she snagged a high-spec seized computer from a streamer who got sued and had their assets confiscated. As expected from broadcast gear, the performance was solid.
She kept the red sticker as a warning to herself: fail to watch your broadcasts, and the government might come for you. When she told Yu Ing, the girl trembled and asked if the Korean government does that too...?
She quickly edited footage from the 11th-floor clear, cut it appropriately, and uploaded it.
The moment the model arrived, she made Yu Ing's VTuber debut video, used the received ID to set up the channel. She pondered what a fresh VTuber should do first, but settled on 『General Games』.
Playing trendy games draws viewers, but traffic from Wakamo would flow her way anyway—no issue there!!
It'd be nice if they checked out the other VTubers on her channel too. But that's greedy.
She bought up every popular game she could find and checked the communities.
"Listen up, Yu Ing. The Tower's a real jerk. It didn't give me a single proper [Attack Skill] and made me cry. Forget Tower climbing—VTubing's the way to go!"
".....Isn't that 'cause you didn't pick it, President? Not the Tower's fault?"
Yu Ing's innocent question, munching bread, made Wakamo turn her head.
"Anyway, Yu Ing. The government's got our backs with tons of support, so we can live easy! Earn big while we're young and retire!"
"President, does this glow?"
Yu Ing picked up the decorative [Imperial Jade Seal], and dazzling light burst out. Was that item picky about its owner?
Sigh, it was too flashy, so she put it somewhere out of reach.
Seeing Yu Ing's fascination with VTuber figures terrified Wakamo like a cousin visiting for the holidays.
VTuber Chicken Pizza once said a VTuber's worst enemy is another VTuber. They're tied to money and influence, so one mistake from an agency member can tank reputations. Interactions help, but weird rumors can spread too.
Especially female VTubers—collabing with male ones can make crazy unicorns go feral.
The VTuber world is a minefield of invisible traps!! Yu Ing's an illegal immigrant(?) and clueless, so Wakamo cut her slack, but invincibility doesn't last forever.
All the blame falls on the president!!
"Reactions to the video okay??"
She ditched the planned cafe tour stream and went dark, but suddenly debuted a new VTuber. Wakamo prayed for no backlash and dove into the most dreaded ego search.
Getting attention from VTubers who melt her mentally with "Ahh~ that friend?" is burdensome, but...
Now that she's a VTuber too, she has to check!! (No, you don't).
"Becoming a VTuber really ramps up the pressure... I'm just lucky."
You don't base your worth on how the stream goes.
Fans determine your value.
But the best is ignoring viewers altogether.
No matter how hard the VTuber tries, some viewers just pop in, chat, and leave.
Sometimes treat fans less like treasures and more like assets to manage for longevity.
But most importantly, ponder how to keep viewers here longer!!
In a sea of VTubers, Wakamo grabs them with her hardcore Wakamo Inarizushi RP charm.
Frankly, she's VTubing's violent something-or-other, popular for exclusive content.
That's why check 『Hajime Ichigo』. She benefits from Wakamo's spillover, so popularity's guaranteed...

[Title: Fox God-sama Believer. Life's Turned Around]
There's this Young Farmer Succession Agricultural Settlement Support Program.
As you know, monsters wreck fields these days.
Thieves steal from fields and bolt too...
Heard about new government aid, applied, won, and came to Incheon.
Whoa! VTuber... suddenly became a landowner. Hawawa...
Hosted by the Climber Association... Yeah. Be jealous, believers.
It's rented, but dirt cheap—basically mine.
A tenant farmer in this era, but so happy!!
Who am I?
『Wakamo Inarizushi 1st Floor』 resident.
Anyway, it's huge. Super mystical too...
Monster zones separated from residential areas—no raids.
Climbers swarm hunting everywhere.
Meat prices rising, but hunting here? Should drop soon?
Dunno the principle, but at night or rain outside, it rains here too?
Haven't had clean water in ages—splashed around.
-Boss really feeding us rice to survive?
-What're you doing? Build the boss shrine first, rude—
-But what's the residency requirement?
ㄴVTuber sub 1 month+.
ㄴWTF lololol really??
ㄴ(Proof pic)
ㄴWhy's it real lololol
ㄴ"Bastards who don't watch VTubers get no citizenship"
ㄴPhew, survived... No one unsubbed from Boss Oshi, right?
-I climb with my guild, hunt easy, breed monsters—life's good.
-If you're there, no terror attacks—safe, right?
ㄴYeah, residency apps are insane now...
ㄴBut everyone gets rejected?
ㄴYeah, no 1-month VTuber sub—snowflakes out.
ㄴLol real estate's new god lolol
[Author: Good-Hunta]
[Title: "This Body Knows Jutsu Too"]
Fox God-sama's jutsu = Naruto-style ninjutsu?
Knew she could do Fire Style or whatever...
(GIF of Fox God spewing flames from mouth)
Hawawa... Atashi... a bit wet down there...
Lung capacity from those huge tits rivals a dragon...
This jutsu...? What did humanity lose chasing civilization?
Anyway, subbed following Boss, out monster hunting now.
Crazy thing: can watch streams anywhere here.
Climber Watashi♥ too happy.
Funnier: only Boss's channel connects. Where is this?
-This broadcast control or whatever?
-Fox God-sama!! If only your stream, turn it on!!!
-No, more importantly, who's the new VTuber???
ㄴDunno? Super cute design, love it.
ㄴWhy's "President! President!" follower so adorable.
ㄴNo clue what she's saying.
-Like chicks chasing mama hen—hilarious lolol
-Wakamo walks, Ichigo has to run lololol

[Title: Let's Check Out New FarmFarm VTuber 『Hajime Ichigo』]
Welcome, newbies. Era where watching streams is a job.
Alba from today. Found my oshi.
Official "Apocalypse Survival Expert Alchemist VTuber".
Dunno where Boss scavenged her.
Looks haughty and elegant, but speaks uwu-uwu...
Boss too—why the crazy gap with looks!!!
Boss cradling her like mom, pushing her behind protectively.
Hopping along... haa... going mad... is boner a crime?
"Anyanghaseyo" feels like pure natural cuteness.
-2D model to faster 3D debut.
-Wakamo President's treatment beats corps...
-President made Ichigo work hard.
-Ah, "VTuber Proxy" Hajime Ichigo.
ㄴSlow algo even for trending.
-But she's an illegal immigrant, right? It's fine?
ㄴGov dare touch my VTuber?
ㄴSince when's she "illegal immigrant"?
-One floor up changes rep... That's Wakamo power...
-Just accept it, no questions needed.
-Watch closely? She's the VTuber taking in climbers?
ㄴWelcome, to my VTuber clip channel...
ㄴTower business? I'll snipe you down..
-Knew you'd pull this lololol
ㄴReally? Looked like Ichigo to you?
All things considered, community reactions weren't bad.
Frankly, daily Tower grinding as a mayfly was stressful.
11th-floor clear let her pick a skill—lucky... Unlike her, Yu Ing got materials from Tower. Performance-based?
Wanted [Attack Skill], got [Worshipped Deity].
Boosts mana regen proportional to believers—insanely potent!! Lets Wakamo recover mana so fast, no Tower needed!!
Thanks to it, she consulted manager on gov policies, exchanged ideas, and streamed organically.
Viewers understood too—saw her rush channel setup/rules, laughed at "Boss debuting in a hurry, so busy." For now...
Held fanart contest, handled Yu Ing's ID/identity stuff.
Bought clothes! Fed tasty food! Got Korean books!!
With mana spare, plan: slow Tower, VTuber content.
Power/water on her mana, multiple VTuber streams on mana, forgot tiny keyboard/mouse—practicing games ate mana... Fingertip thin with [Mana Manipulation]? More mana...
Mana tight.
After days, precarious.
But taught Yu Ing plenty about VTubing: hard work = bonuses, top treatment. Hunted 3D model workers, imported gear overseas—super busy!!
Whole year busy since climber awakening!!
"Crossing dimensions! Isekai Tower-Climbing VTuber. Wakamo Inarizushi!"
-Ice age over...?
-Baby... Boss... where were you...?
-Uwauwa... warm....
-Watched all 2,500 streams.
-That's possible? lololol
-? Using facecam today?
-VTuber facecam? No issue.
-ㅋㅋㅋ Means chill today.
-Thank her for streaming!!
"Today, collab with cute newbie VTuber. Y'know, Wakbat-hyung's doing [PUBG: Battlegrounds Pro] duo tourney soon..."
-Wait, debuted her for collabs?
-What we thought -> Train up a VTuber!!
-Reality ㅋㅋ VTuber collab headcount filler ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-But she crossed oceans, speech like that—real illegal?
-Tsk, "was illegal." Boss says, human rights appear ㅋㅋㅋ
-Just accept ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Sudden debut, now kidnapping for VTuber ㅋㅋㅋ
"Hey!! Shut up! Foreigner or illegal, so what!! Raising her with love!!"
-Us too with love!! Hug with boobs!!!
-Uwa uwa uwauwa!! Uwa!!!!
-Is our Fox God-sama married?
-More like tribe descendant she served...?
-So similar face... her descendant... kyaa, instant drama.
-Arctic melts again...
-Sea battle today? Sniping OP.
-Just cafe tour?
"Anyway, come here. No weird talk!! Learns fast!"
-Yessir, no boob talk.
-Won't say farmfarm.
-Won't beg scorn with those eyes.
-Won't ask if bathed with Boss.
-3rd time: Boss furry?
-7th: What're you eating?
Ding—
As always, rowdy believers chatted freely; Wakamo bantered back.
Gov/Climber Assoc busy rumors spread—no deep dives, thankfully.
Climbing's life-or-death; few tactlessly asked "When climb?" No pressure.
In that flow, alert pinged: sharp eyes, red gaze, sly smile—striking VTuber char beside Wakamo.
"Anyangaseyo, President good listener Apocalipsu VTubya Hajime Ichigo-yo"
"Ja byutakdrimnida!!"
Arms flailing clumsily—broadcast mishap from the start.
Eh, cute level.
"Ugh, President arm hurt-yo"
"Wait... Got it!"
-Apoc survival expert for real?
-Didn't watch screen, thought 7yo streamed—rushed over. Upset...
-...? Upset? VTuber what's that??
-So green she doesn't know red pills!!
-ㅋㅋㅋ Pretend not to know ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Daughter collab confirmed?
-No, villain face but candy voice ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-VTuber, zero idea what she says.....
-Climber with that vocab... def foreigner.
-Need 3D model? ㅋㅋ
Tense, mangling harder... but Wakamo got it.
Low-tier VTuber, top clipper! Subbed Magma Shrine Maiden, Nya Princess, even Bandera-called Gahi full subs—no prob!!
[DenmarkMapStabber donated 1,000 won]
-Ichigo, what's with Boss?
-Done??
-Yeah, Ichigo stream works?
-Boss gives 100% revenue to Ichigo.
-Real love-raising.
-Just raising VTuber to clip?
-Gay... friendless...?
-Pretend not to know = manners....
"Udi President Ichigo gul arayujyo, masitneun geo saju go, jigeum? Chueopsikkaejuseyo!"
Grinning polite reply, but worker-bee vibe—Wakamo forehead smack.
Viewers tilted at Wakamo, flocked to Hajime stream on hearing donations fly.
-Sounds so pure and kind.
-Didn't snag a dim friend...?
-Yeah... healthy's good....
-Accept it believer, no questions.
-Where'd you scavenge this gem...
-First climber with comms issues.
[StreamOnBoss donated 1,000 won]
-Why speech like that? Alchemist, bad drugs?
"Hm? Ichigo wonrae ireoyo? Mal motae miahae"
"Uu, harsh"
-Seppuku trash.
-Dissing our trying kid?
-She's trying so hard!!!
-No, why sudden Boss hate spike ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Kid's stream = Boss news ㅇㅇ.
-Oh then? Die fucker!!!
-Too far buddy.....
"Okay okay, donate pocket money to Ichigo as ya want, believers. Matching done! Haha! Got distracted!!"
-Not distracted, she overwhelmed Boss.
-Boss, donations lagging—raise unit price?
-Gov-backed VTuber, noobs no mercy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Snipe Boss, get reported—know what happens? ㅋㅋㅋ
-Yeah ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Crazy? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Sniped for real. Real FPS.
-Fuck, quit game hearing that.
-Gay...
While Ichigo chatted(?) with believers, duo game started.
[PUBG: Battlegrounds Pro] TL;DR: Plane to field, grab guns everywhere, survive solo/team till last.
Korea's top game, few clueless viewers.
"Do well!! More VTuber collabs!!!"
"Yeah! President! Ichigo work hard-yo!!"
Parachuting past crowds to school—hot drop. Wakamo & Ichigo landed side-by-side.
Explained game, tutorial done—Ichigo handled fine sans handholding.
"President ni jeodo myeon iwo ora ga oieoyo!!"
"Got it!"
-What?
-What'd she say?
-Roughly uwanya nyannyan nyaunya nyaun.
-Cat-like!
-Sniper-proof code, right?
-Boss gets it mid-that?
-Dunno? Boss code-cracking pro.
-Reads sloppy orca handwriting....
-Why VTuber ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Caught Ichigo's call—two enemies rooftop. Wakamo waited, burst fire on emerge.
"Double kill incoming!!"
Zero hits.
"?
-?
-?
-?
-?
-Miss nose-to-nose?
-Dalgona sweat ㅇㅇ
-Kya, Boss aimbot off;;
-Two peeps, shoots between??
"Guak"
Ambushed first, still sniped flat—Wakamo prone. Absurd skill: believers sent pity, no laughs/scolds.
Under incompetent(?) Boss, solo Ichigo unfazed. Pro-like, ear to sounds.
Tadadang—!!
Burst from classroom, downed two instant; grenade-throwing user headshot.
Incoming grenade—swapped to pistol, despite bad eyes claim.
Bang!
Hit it, bounced back exploding last hider in alley.
"?
-?
-?
-?
-?
-"Survival expert"
-Shoot grenade with gun??
-Granades bounce on collide—physics ㅇㅇ..
-Rediscovering: total fairy!!!
-Ichigo awakened by ally death....
-Wakamo President losing? Unimaginable.
-President's presence vanished...?
-1 min in dead, awkward.
"Win = President chicken dinner haeseyo!"
"No, win = chicken dinner..."
-Kid wants, buy some?
-Chicken money sent.
-Foreign merc pro ㅇㅇ
-But skill gap big = enemy match?
-Then "Aigo President too good, can't win..."
-Power's all in reality...
Mishearing win=chicken, Ichigo soloed 16 school (8 squads), car-raced road, sniped two bikers. Believers awed.
Idle Boss editing? Believers griped; Wakamo: ordered chicken.
"Oh right. Tomorrow Hajime Ichigo [Profile Intro], watch debut?"
-? What now.
-3D debut -> game -> profile.
-Real VTuber stream her way...
-Greets/listener names next??
-Watch chicken-hungry Ichigo!!
"Ah!! Chicken ordered!!!"
"Wa! Chicken!"
-Poor Ichigo with dumb mom....
-Our Fox God-sama immature....
-How'd she snag this fool boss.
-Real kidnap?
"Kidnapped yeah"
-Why real fuck.
-Neighbor fox Backrooms kidnaps; foxes kidnap pros???
-Korea: culture kidnaps foreigners to VTuber.
-No ㅋㅋㅋ Debut = help stream, why Boss streams editing!!!
-Ichigo stream middle, other VTubers + editor open? Right?
-Rest days same beast....
"Uh... proxy stream a bit, Ichigo"
"Nong"
-No fuck real VTuber proxy.
-VTuber proxy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-This streaming right?
-Pity Ichigo dumb mom....
-Raising kid wild.
-Uwauwa uwauwa happy = good..
Worried plenty.
But fetching chicken, Wakamo sighed relief: debut success(?).
Epilogue: Dream VTuber game tourney collab.
Wakamo skill lacking—entry denied, crushed.
"President. This click-yo..."
"Yeah...."
"Ollji! President! Do well! Talent yo!"
Became Wakamo game lesson stream.
Viewers loved it more.
