Chapter Title: No Tengu-Raising for Me
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Author: Kaido-kun]
[Title: Raising a Tengu would make it a yokai or whatever, so I won't.]
Tengu are yokai, sure, but they're not *that* strong.
There *is* one ridiculously overpowered Tengu that's part of the "Three Great Yokai."
From the way she's talking, it seems like she could raise one...?
??? : If you don't behave and listen to me, I'll unleash the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. Your approval ratings will be as fun as horse race standings.
- The station chief who can even ignore dodo resurrection can't do what now lololol
ㄴThe academic world is in chaos right now. Because she says she can resurrect extinct birds.
ㄴPapers are getting plagiarized, fuck lololol
ㄴWhat? Seriously, the Three-Legged Crow? Please let me see it just once!!
- But if it's birds, how far does it go? Can Hoheimi lay a phoenix too?
ㄴThe station chief's present-world resurrection project has begun.
ㄴIf phoenixes and phoenixes are possible too, that's insane???
-"Korea seems like it can't make money, so I'll make it earn some."
-They say conglomerates keep the country alive, but the scale is different.
- Back in my day, this was normal. Korea's land is smaller than China's, right?
ㄴFuck lololol, the fact that this is true is hilarious lololol
ㄴWith convenient transportation, making money must be easy too.
ㄴAnd in the midst of that, steadily supporting farmers feels like an old-school person...
ㄴDon't you know that military rations are the most important...?
- But if it's the station chief, she might not raise a phoenix because only one station chief approves.
ㄴIt's so true that it's funny lololol
ㄴThe owner of KFC is solely you, Kiara Phoenix!!
- Dinosaurs are birds too!!
- If she lays one, it's a bird, right? Let's go prove if T-Rex had feathers lololol
-Three-Legged Crow, Goguryeo, Liaodong... Time for the northern advance!!
-Hot Manchuria, I'm cutting through to get to you~
ㄴLiaodong beats with heart!!
ㄴBurn up, Ssangseong Governor-General!
ㄴEngrave it! The semicircle beat!

[Title: But why are the subscribers so low compared to the station chief's fame?]
As a VTuber, 700k subscribers in Korea is a ton, sure.
But she's the historic climber and the only one broadcasting climbs.
Plus keywords like gumiho, Tamamo, fox god all tied in.
She shows ancient artifacts, does full攻略 floors.
Even shows resurrecting extinct birds.
With content this packed, why isn't it at 1 million yet?
Does the station chief stutter and worry about viewer comments when streaming?
Or when viewers ask, does she just say "it's a secret" and not tell?
If you chat her, does she VTuber-introduce and VTuber-talk all day?
If it's gaming, did she pull out some VTuber game or something?
Or is it Wakamo Inarizushi but the channel name is [Wakamo Inarizushi] so YouTube needs parentheses to show it?
When you go in, more VTuber clips than Wakamo videos, so mistaken for clipper channel and leave?
Subscribe and YouTube sub channel gets terrorized with 30 VTuber clip videos?
Does the station chief not open regular subs, no memberships, no dons?
She spread it to Korea, China, Japan, and it's really 700k?
Even if streams aren't fun, with that buzz, wouldn't curiosity subs alone hit more?
-This guy's spot on lololol
-Subscribing to the station chief comes with a huge price...
-She says she doesn't need sleep so uploads VTuber streams and clips to her channel...
-Big fun comes with a big price ㅇㅇ...
-700k means they can endure their channel being plastered with VTuber clips.
-Above guys are talking nonsense, you can turn off sub notifications ㅇㅇ...
-But rather than that, community hype brings more drive-by viewers.
-But seriously, why doesn't the station chief split channels?
-Because VTubers are more precious than herself.
ㄴSounds crazy but it's true... The station chief treasures VTubers more...
ㄴStill, check the pinned post for how to sub without video terror.
ㄴWakamo promos always come with warnings.
ㄴWhat is this, not some Napolitan ghost story lololol
ㄴRule 1: Subscribe to Wakamo channel and immediately turn off notifications.
ㄴRule 2: If you didn't follow 1, watch the clips.
-That's fucking scary for real lololololol
-To know all the world's VTubers, go to the station chief's cafe...
ㄴThere was even a cracked egg VTuber.
ㄴThere's a slug personified VTuber too.
ㄴThere was a super huge giant VTuber...
ㄴWait, isn't this just a straight sex site...?
-There's a board for animal dick hentai too.
ㄴWhy the fuck lololol
ㄴIs the station chief a beast...?
ㄴAh.
ㄴDidn't know that...(solemn)
ㄴOff to post monkey jerking off gif.
ㄴCrazy bastard.
Wakamo, who's even getting absurd emails begging her to run as a proportional rep,
Meanwhile, Yung Wei somehow found her email and was reporting to Wakamo on the status of China's conquest.
Plus, turning relics found in areas liberated from the Chinese government into items with [Collector] skill... Last time she went crazy and couldn't show everything, but after searching forever, she found an item with job restriction [Idol] only and said she'd send it... that was a few days ago.
"Too many emails~"
Wakamo had left Yu Ying and Sadako's care to the manager and said she'd handle emails herself, but there were really too many.
From broadcast appearances to ones from stations, she blocked and deleted them all.
Overseas emails about research or requests on extinct bird resurrection, she sorted separately.
For viewer complaints about Wakamo's channel, she replied she'd review but no plans to change, give up. For viewers trying to dictate how to broadcast, she replied "I'll curse you?"
"Sub growth curve is good though..."
Wakamo realized she was at a favorable peak.
Even more, with expanding broadcast content, 『Wakamo Inarizushi Floor 1』 now implemented 1-30 floors totaling 830㎢ including ocean-estimated space.
Even rare fish only appearing in the tower's ocean, manager said university profs requested too.
Providing vast safe land to young gens leaving farming, monsters appearing usable as food/materials, so Incheon's guilds hunt safer, climbers level up abilities.
Thanks to that, first time seeing prices drop.
Minimum wage up, milk prices down, Wakamo asked association chair but didn't expect this much, surprised in many ways.
Even introducing 4-day workweek to make time for broadcasts... Even if she were a guy, she'd fall for this.
In other words, Korea gaining way more resources. Veins of ore too, a bit surprised.
Digging might yield oil, worrying if US comes... but...
In case Korea collapses, safe floors usable, promoting as tourist spot for non-climbers too—chair said make facility for extinct birds, so gave [Three-Legged Crow].
Even so, lives, Wakamo no confidence without expertise.
Chair receiving it had complex face like "What intent...? Making me king...?"
"Finally reached it, huh..."
Seems China's performance impressed a lot.
Comments like "Why upload others' VTuber clips not her own?" "Is this her channel or Wakamo clipper?" many, but...
"No compromise even if I die!!!"
She'd tolerate anything, even abandon man's identity to become woman, but this she won't bend on death.
"To enter my floor, sub required... but recent growth insane..."
To live in Wakamo's Floor 1, watch climbs, see rumored celeb, maybe extinct bird childcare streams, etc....
[Wakamo Inarizushi]
Subscribers: 2.2 million.
"Too many, burdensome, wanna puke."
Gotta get used thinking it'll keep rising. This pace, me world #1 VTuber...?
Me of all people?
"Uweeek"
Burden so severe it's fatal, puked mana. Heavy responsibility too much.....!!
"Guueek"
High-conc mana from mouth spewing smoke, floor melting.
"Huu... huu... deep breaths... Wakamo deep breaths!!! Happy thoughts!! Now Sichuan VTubers, returning VTubers, reincarnated revived VTubers appearing in China!! All happy!! They say thanks Wakamo!!"
Pffft─
Not just mouth, facial holes spewing bloo... no, mana, Wakamo faceplants.

[Bonus Stats: 35]
Mental shock too big, blank mind, fainted eyes open... not faint, more nirvana?
Watching mana recover steadily.
[Stats]
Magic: 700,000
[Bonus Stats: 35]
Exactly at limit, sighs deeply.
"No, this damn job has limits too...? Skill efficiency sucks, nothing good. Bluntly, climbing on my own power..... no good items.... ugh..."
Roughly covers melted ground with dirt, Wakamo stretches.
"Success..."
[Hajime Ichigo]
Subscribers 590k.
[Mare Pirates]
Subscribers 330k.
Dunno why success measured by growing VTubers' subs... Wakamo ponders original songs, covers, waves at Kwon Wang Oyama Masahiko coming to pick her.
"Welcome Wakamo! You got insanely famous while I wasn't looking!"
"Yeah, something like that."
"Like me, [Six Demons] has bloodthirsty ones wanting strong fights. Want to know defeat? Might try killing suddenly, be careful."
"First words so brutal..."
"That ninja friend got arm chopped once! Hahaha!!"
Recovers on floor up, as long as alive ok.
Even so, arm chop casual ok?
Wakamo walks Kyoto streets with Kwon Wang.
Like Korea's chair, climbing more towers for conquest, dojo entry students too many, body doubled not enough, Wakamo's shrine [Companion] owner should visit sometimes, chatted recent events long.
"Our daughter a bit problem child?"
"Perfect for VTuber."
"Yeah, that's fine! Siblings both VTubers friendly. Sadako keeps karate to be strong like dad, really happy."
"So Kwon Wang, Kyoto collab tomorrow right?"
"Yeah?"
"Then line up from today, see you day after?"
"Uh...? Huh?"
At collab spot, Wakamo sits entrance blocking.
Clerk shocked out, "Tomorrow...? Still noon?" but Wakamo unmoving.
Fox god sits declaring first tomorrow collab goods, Kwon Wang troubled.
"Ahem, if want, Kyoto tourism can talk virtual live collab stream. Collab stream too, but goods obsession..."
"Go──!!!"
"Ooh...!"
"Even if they want collab, know place and refuse!! Special goods only me is disservice to fans!! So Wakamo Inarizushi sits all day enduring!! Tent too!!"
"Uh.... then.... number ticket."
"You, pro?"
Admiring Kwon Wang, clerk "Used to this..." bitter smile, gives #1 ticket, shoos away.
""""Master hello!!!""""
"Yes! Fox god came today! No nuisance!!"
"Waa"
Last time vast dojo now packed, feels different place.
Tourists photo training students.
They ask Wakamo photo ok? Kwon Wang points rule.
[Direct filming Fox God impolite. Don't upset.]
Not any shrine's god... but red pill exposure bad, better no pics.
Still fans, Wakamo handshakes... signs for sign requests.
Soon jealous believers, gotta make Wakamo goods, ponders.
"Shiny shiny...?"
"Huh? Normal?"
Directly from fox god shrine. Neglect idol-given shrine disrespectful to god, as Japanese respecting gods, Kwon Wang offended look.
"Haha....."
Still, non-idol can't join shrine, just decor...? [Companion Buff] exists tho...

List too long, freaks out.
Such features existed?!!
Picks some, shows Kwon Wang.
"......"
Shocked face, but Wakamo didn't know either.
'...Wait, then can't add building functions to [My Worlds] with stats?'
[Tower adopts Wakamo Inarizushi's suggestion]
"Huh?"
[From now, spend Wakamo bonus stats to add [Buildings] to [My Worlds]!]
"....Then, don't you owe stats per floor climbed...?"
No reply.
Felt bad giving few rewards, throws message like "this ok?" and gone.
'Fuck you bastard....'
Why make such 『Legendary Class』!!! Insult to VTubers!!!
Give my rewards you damn...!! Climb or kill, now casually updates after figuring...!
Pioneer sadness? At this point prep notepad for future VTuber successors after I die??
What to say... so much.
'Farm sim + RPG + fantasy all in, grind hard earn money but other areas different currency restart from zero. Open world no info til scout, pad playtime game....'

'Great fuck bastard...'
Calm think... better make as late as possible.
Peak subs = super strong climber.
But Wakamo no interest in climbers.
'How make AI VTuber...'
Dreams using bonus stats for intelligence, 24hr streams.
"No choice..."
"You ok?"
Muttering, angry, frowning Wakamo worried by Kwon Wang, realizes stares. .....My bad.... raises hand excuse.
"No, upstairs says climb tower for companion blessing..."
"Aah..."
Inari god revelation~ Kwon Wang nods understanding.
Fox god different indeed!!
"Then, climb Kyoto Tower?"
"Yeah? To 30."
"Hoo!"
Wakamo heads to [Kyoto Tower] cleared to 10.
Full clear more bonus, but time precious.
'Argue each, difficulty rises,攻略 in 10-floor chunks...!!'
Boldly steps, Kwon Wang dojo many students, no special effects, use martial arts.
