Chapter Title: Casual City Builder Stream
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm not a chihuahua!! I'm Mei!!"
"I'm not Mei!! I'm Wakamo!!"
""Together, we're MeiWaka!!""
-Mei who straight-up betrayed Lucia.
-Mei, who's kinda in-between gen 0 and gen 1.
-But aren't they the same body, so what's the difference?
-Doesn't that mean they have similar intelligence?
-Did they split into two just to stream more VTuber content?
-That's terrifying...
-Maybe they multiplied to make more rice dumplings for us.
-Then let's do one Wakamo per household for more Wakamos.
-You fans are insane lololol
"Come on~!! Today, we're all gonna chill and play a city-building game!!"
"Yeah yeah!! We're playing [Dawn of Man], recommended by viewers!! It's a game where you lead a primitive tribe and grow it~"
"There are complicated parts, but they give me a headache. Advice welcome anytime."
"Yeah yeah, we need streams where we take advice too!"
-Why's the streamer so hyped today?
-'Cause she's doing VTuber streams instead of tower climbing.
-We love it when she has fun.
-Editing, management, repelling Six Realm Freaks—she's got a ton on her plate, and she's still streaming...
-Kids, be grateful when she streams...
-But how are we supposed to give advice?
-We can though?
-Two primitive idols doing it themselves?
-LMAOOOOOO
-Lollll
It was a city-building game set in the Stone Age, roughly 10,000 years ago. Honestly, more like a civilization builder.
Watching Jackson build his city looked fun, and messing around with Mei while gaming created some real synergy.
And most importantly, it didn't require any skill. Wakamo had no idea why she sucked at games so bad.
Her eyes were sharp, her body responsive, but she mashed buttons too fast for the controller to register?
Maybe just a lack of gaming sense. She could see and move perfectly, but the gear couldn't keep up.
The mouse and keyboard! The controller! They can't match my reaction speed! They're too slow!!
Predicting moves ahead felt like overkill.
Practicing lightning shifts with Mei had pushed her reflexes and dynamic vision way beyond human limits, making human-designed games even harder.
Always chased by a fast world, now slow... No, just a rhythm issue?
Anyway!! As long as she climbed well, who cared about games?
"Wakamo Floor 1 is already being built up and taking residents, right? But not just anyone can come and go, so everyone's curious."
"Jackson made a channel. Go check out the city. Cheap houses, so move in if you want. Though outings are an issue."
"You believers know we built three parking lots near the Climber Association? Need two cars for inside and outside use?"
"And [Idol's Shrine] is off-limits, so don't approach? It says 'You might burn to death if you enter.' For secrecy, so if you sneak in and burn, not our fault~"
-That's not an intelligence issue lololol?
-Red pill chasers gonna get wiped.
-Residents really need two cars lololol
-Inside's huge, coming and going is a chore...
-Still, fresh in a good way. Few bugs.
-Jackson builds stuff daily, plenty to see.
-That's why expand parking lololol
-Everything vanishes if streamer dies, but otherwise great.
-Honestly terrifying daily lolol
-Just stream safely pls lololol
Wakamo Floor 1's value was skyrocketing, so there were congressmen requesting she pause climbing, and public petitions too. Wakamo secretly wanted to stop climbing and live normally and quietly.
But the Six Realm Freaks were such a headache, no choice but to climb.
Started climbing for her life, for VTuber now, climbing again for her life.
What kind of infinite loop was this...
"Alright, game starting!"
The game opened with a fox tribe huddled in huts.
Pitiful start, but Wakamo deftly gathered branches.
Like Build Craft, collecting branches, crafting harpoons, ordering fishing in the nearby river.
-No deer hunting?
"Can't yet. Even with human stamina. Short on hands now?"
"Yeah yeah. Keep gathering fruits too, Wakamo. Build a storage hut?"
"Make javelins from branches to hunt deer."
"Eating right after kill is barbarian. Dry into jerky for winter. Build drying racks."
Perfectly in sync, directing villagers, rapidly developing the settlement.
Before winter, stock fruits and fish, hunt deer and bison with javelins for hides, preparing steadily.
Winter hit, clothed in hides against cold, consumed stores while gathering wood and stone all season.
"This era, bones better than stone! Make bone tools!"
"Then pottery from clay to enter Mesolithic? Water storage important."
-What's that in the center? Looks menacing.
-Skull decoration custom.
-Makes sense for the era lolol
"Obviously idol worship, believers? They believed in nature spirits. I'd make it rain too."
"Could prevent sick believers from illness. That's why hides for winter?"
-Their synergy wtf lololol
-Said one person, and it shows.
-Not advice, take notes?
-Someone who's played, give tips lolol
-Primitive ancient idols doing it themselves, what advice lolol
-Lol anyone advising here is a retard lolol
Not the reaction expected, Wakamo and Mei glanced, shrugged.
Built central idol symbol to ease anxiety—flint axes for logging, tanning racks for hides.
"Hides plentiful, make houses warmer."
"Clay research for pottery, mud houses warmer?"
"Hunting succeeding now. See? Humans learn from experience?"
Chatting nonstop, hunting beasts, processing hides, bone tools, new hide clothes, rapidly advancing tribe.
Brain game, steadily building tech tree.
One mind, bouncing ideas, endless talk.
"Farming too early! Dig wild wheat, mill and store!"
"Sleds for transport, people pull flint, meat, stone."
"Wood stocked, evolve idol worship to totem!"
-Fast progress lololol
-No hitches lololol
-Straight to farming? Plant wheat?
-But just make bows? Why spears?"
"These have raiders usually."
"See! Coming!!"
No sooner said, corner invaders from other tribe, but armed with bows and spears, fox tribe crushed, counter-raided.
-Streamer? What you doing?
Then boldly relocated tribe upstream. Viewers puzzled.
"Drought anytime. Upstream dams."
"Yep, no rain trouble~ Pests too!"
Built livestock pens, split farms up/downstream, neat roads, expanding along river with two tribes.
Paleolithic to Mesolithic to Neolithic—flawless, unbelievable for first-timers.
Wakamo shocked at her own skill.
"River back, wood fence one side, easy."
"Sheep, goats, milk, new wool clothes!"
Drought mid-game, but upstream dams saved upper farms.
Pests ate crops, but livestock buffered.
Obsessed with food stocks, mining ores, no wasted time, rapid growth.
Believers watched smoothly, no advice, just enjoying.
Fences, watchtowers protect, charcoal smelts copper in furnaces, copper gear, graduate flint, straight to bronze.
"Farming time! Plow farming!"
-What's plow farming?
"Oxen farming!! Oxen!! More better!!"
"Fields here.... Raider formations... Mud to stone houses, stone fences. New fields, oxen here..."
Muttering, whipping screen, fast development, netting fish now. Mei chatted nonstop, no dead air.
"Believers~ No advice? Doing good?"
"Brew alcohol in brewery from grain, boost satisfaction. Ox carts good, but horse carts too? Smelt bronze to iron age."
-Prof, too fast.
-Blink, iron age.
-Natural waterwheel on river.
-Furnace when lololol
-Smelting in forge already...
"Life level up, smash idols?"
"Eh.... Faith important, but optional."
"Believers~ This how idol worship fades naturally? Got it?"
-Why bad end?
-Hardworking fox god betrayed...
-You grew your tribe, kick idol out?! You bastard!!!!
-Still love you humans...!!
-Build religion buildings!!!!!
-Korea still has more churches.
-Build churches/temples in Wakamo Floor 1 trap.
-Why only one idol shrine?
-Streamer banned idol worship this era.
-No more betrayal hurt...
-Gonna cry, can't watch...
-Smiling positive, why casually smash idols...
""Huh...??""
Both tilted heads, bewildered at sobbing believers.
Normal progress: ditch idols for civ, right?
"Advice" to build religion, Wakamo built dolmens to soothe.
But floodgates opened, imagined unwanted pasts: tragic idol worship end, Wakamo sealed, vivid regret fics.
Novel-level writing for Naver series, why viewers not writers? But soothed hard.
"It's fine!! Forcing faith bad. Humanity thrives without idols?"
"Yeah yeah. Peaceful era, all good. New-era idols VTubers make us happy."
"Yeah yeah. We're VTubers. That's enough?"
-Screen blurry...
-Recalling lost idol watching VTuber...
-Inari... Similar, still have idol...
-Real men don't cry!! Sob sob.
-But damn, pro at city builders.
-How many tribes she advanced like this.
-Then discarded when unnecessary?
-Humans never change...
-Humans cancer of Earth.
-Jesus crucified too...
"No, calm down!!"
"Waaahhh"
Was she watching? Yu Ying burst in sobbing, hugged Wakamo.
"Leader!! We won't kick you!!"
"Wait, Wakamo's the boss? Lowly creatures serve? Revolution for idols!"
"Revolution!! WW3 time!! Japan, China, Korea unite, Utopian Reich, Wakamo Fuhrer eternal idol!! Huge statue!! More cheers!! Lucia ready!!! What is life? Life is nation. Individuals die anyway?"
"Um, last guy in, leave?"
-No lololol
-WW3 incoming.
-Power wise, who wins?
-Wakamo drops Jupiter storm, wins...
-Who beats that lololol
-Doesn't know mercy given...?
-Walking nuke streamer...
-Realizing, our streamer saintly lololol
-Loved when sealed!! Understands!!!
-I'd wipe descendants post-seal.
-How VTuber after unsealing...
-Our streamer just likes being idol.
-Adolf Lucia debut this?
-Faster worship than intro...
-Wants to write Mein Kampf by Wakamo...
-Last Nazi in Korea?
"Ao, kids no dangerous talk!!"
Calmed hyped Lucia, hoped fun watch, farewell.
Wakamo shocked at her city builder talent. Sucked at StarCraft, why this?
Maybe why chosen as idol.
[Idol's Shrine]... [Wakamo Floor 1]...
Platinum showed gather layers for territory.
Tower didn't expect brute climb despite ramps.
Whatever!! Few days safe streams, Wakamo hyped sky-high.
[Faith] stocked, add to [Idol's Shrine].
Asuka training needed, but VTuber only, meh.
Die to overmatch? Train... Give Sadako skills...
'Why poor despite auto-stat gaps?'
Long-term job, 1-year in, arrogant?
Taught Yu Ying skills, left [Extra Stats: 20]. Sell [Faith] high, vague hope tower gives more. Invested bold.
[Extra Stats: 73]. What now.
...Japan trip finally.
※※※
"Fox Goddess! Doing well? Visit Kyoto often. [Idol's Shrine] tourists galore?"
No photos to not scare fox spirits, no phones... Fist King's dojo strict tourist spot.
Not part-timers, pros confiscate/store phones.
Wakamo safe from filming here.
Metal detectors too.
"Small cameras too."
"How know?"
"Wakamo's shikigami girl told?"
Ultimate info control. US spec ops VTuber ties, help. Bingoo smile, socialized well.
...Independent personality, respect?
"Adding shrine buffs today."
More [Purchasables] as climbed, confirmed.
Most profitable: tower skill choices.
Picked [Fox Orb].
Spent last 12 pts on dojo trainees.
[Companion]
[Group: Idol's Shrine]
[Shrine worshiping/admiring Idol]
[Join Req: Idol]
[Companion Buffs]
[HP Recovery +15% in Companion Range]
[Stamina Recovery +15% in Companion Range]
[Produce small [Inari's Dew] [6/day]]
[Produce small [Fox Orb] [6/day]]
Bought two each HP/Stam, 12 pts gone. One left, hollow. Jackson endured years?
[Fox Orb]
Rank: Consumable.
Life orb only from [Idol's Shrine].
Restores HP, heals wounds fast.
Works on normals.
"Hmm?"
Fox spirits placing pretty orbs.
No [Mana Recovery] items. Tower's petty malice for Wakamo.
"Master! Feel huge boost?!"
+15% HP/Stam, disciple flips aerial, radical moves recover fast. Kyoto tower floor 20 already.
Lower than thought? Sadako/Yu Ying boosted by Wakamo, gov supports JP/CN/KR, fast pace.
"Yung Wei asked if they could have similar."
"Hmm~"
Tower reward, Wakamo awkward.
Didn't expect tower gift [Idol's Shrine].
JP/KR big help, CN less, only Yu Ying vague emperor hope?
"Make it rain..."
"Huh? Possible?"
"Fox Goddess?"
"Amazing!"
Test skill. Rain range/cost?
Forest fires, Wakamo extinguish.
Wakamo lot: dodo, three-legged crow, three-headed horse, winged bird—distribute?
Sent offer, instant thanks.
...Allies, Fist King send some to New China gov.
Yung Wei long text: thanks, don't forget.
Manager missed: [Tower Border] monsters.
Russia mystery monsters, intelligent but berserk, ignore tower—[Chimera] lineage enigmas.
Unknown tower collapse origin, odd behavior. Yung Wei: coming Korea, photo.
Jongno border mystery corpse match.
'Russia monster bio-weapon?'
Yung Wei suspected too, text bottom.
Russia gov requested help collapsed tower fix, new prez delays, ex-prez Superman pushed.
Post-Seoul reclaim ignored, aggressive.
Recent German climbers: Russia leader likely Six Realm Freak.
Confirmed suspicion.
'To floor 50?'
Tower despair loomed again.
Rumble...
Grief clouds thunder brain...
Real shaking? Startled, people evac busily.
"Kyoto quake... Strong one...?"
Fist King balanced on shaking ground, used to it. Wakamo unmoving, "Amazing!!" Wakamo stared blank.
Kyoto tower pudding-wobble, quake-adapted?
"Korea tower shakes too? Japan evolved?"
"Quakes increased lately. Common Japan but..."
Ominous, Wakamo uneasy.
Protagonist syndrome?
"Huu—"
Perfect timing, Wakamo gripped Kusanagi sword, bronze bell, posed.
Skill activate, limbs danced ritual naturally.
Korea? Japan? China?
Shake bell, thrust/swing sword, ritual beauty captivated evac tourists/dojo students.
No cameras, but wouldn't film.
Divine aura.
Not showy, restrained beauty flowed.
Endless, entranced idol dances sword/bell before all.
[[Companion Skill] [Rage Subduer] in use!]
Quake calmed like magic.
Info window for all incl. climbers:
[Idol [Wakamo Inarizushi] subdues [Kyoto Quake]!]
Unbelievable.
Idol suppressing natural disaster.
At own [Idol's Shrine], modern living idol like ancients prayed disasters away, gods answered.
Myth records real? Majestic, sublime scene.
Some mocked "Fox Goddess" arrogant, bluff, lie.
Unknown non-Inari shrine idol, worthless, idol disdain.
Wakamo knew true: all correct, total fraud. Ignored.
This flipped views, true Fox Goddess.
Ting—!
Quake stopped, Wakamo stopped bell, exhaled tired.
500k mana for one quake right? Idols die blocking disasters legends real.
Casual cast nearly martyred her.
"—Good timing visit. Right, Fist King?"
"Y-Yeah..."
Dance end, Japan Assoc Pres call? Fist King flustered phone.
Shocking, news exploded.
Stock manip? Japan market next? Greed, scratched head.
Absurd normal.
Quakes, Japan begs Wakamo help?
"Ah..! Proved it! Believe rain too?"
"...Believe! Obviously?!"
Fist King Sadako-yell: say that now?!
Wakamo calm shrug.
"Said Fox Goddess VTuber, no one believed?"
"Gonna dismantle Inari, build Wakamo shrine soon."
"That's a bit...."
That far? No.
Collab shrine possible!!
Wakamo sly greed: Miko collab pls.
Sacrifice collab... Concert better!!
Evil Fox Goddess greed out.
But concert held, Wakamo busy missed.
Shock fainting, stream hiatus.
