[No CP]
When Kibutsuji Muzan, bedridden with illness, could no longer contain the rage churning inside him and raised his sword against the physician with his back turned, a thing calling itself a "Virtual Idol System" fell from the sky and hit him squarely on the forehead.
And so...
The transdimensional Vtuber, Kibutsuji Muzan, made his grand debut!
While still a rookie Vtuber, Kibutsuji Muzan took the Demon King persona from his character guidebook and made an offer to Tsugikuni Yoriichi:
"I hear you want to improve things with your brother. Leave it to me. Send enough gifts to get to the top of the leaderboard, and I'll help you. Or join my team, the Demon Moons, and I'll do it for free!"
Tsugikuni Yoriichi: "..."
His sword nearly moved on its own.
But the person before him wasn't "that" Kibutsuji Muzan...
Even so, with a character setup this similar, joining was out of the question.
In that case, all he could do was...
Tsugikuni Yoriichi said nothing. He turned and walked into the mountains, then started using Sun Breathing to chop wood and make charcoal for Sumiyoshi to sell.
The viewers who happened to catch the stream that day commented:
[New streamer? That wood-chopping technique is so professional!]
[This motion capture is so realistic. It looks like the streamer is really chopping wood!]
[Followed! I love this kind of immersive farming stream!]
[...Wake up, the black-haired, red-eyed guy beside him with the murderous expression is the streamer!!]
Kibutsuji Muzan watched the comments calling Yoriichi "the number-one woodcutter" and "the shining light of the agriculture channel," then looked at Tsugikuni Yoriichi, head down and hard at work, with a mountain of firewood piled beside him.
His fingertips trembled with rage.
I'm furious, Tsugikuni Yoriichi!
I give you a chance to get famous, and all you do is chop wood!
You could chop wood your whole life and still never earn enough gift money!
Later on, the people Kibutsuji Muzan helped all said they'd heard the streamer liked chopping wood, and that they'd repay him by working off their debts as woodcutters.
Kibutsuji Muzan: "???"
And the chat kept asking:
[Did the boss manage to recruit an assistant today?]
[No, but his woodcutter went viral again!]
[I get it now. This must be the legendary "sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting." ]
Kibutsuji Muzan: "..."
Aaargh, I'm so mad! Damn you, Tsugikuni Yoriichi! Stop spreading rumors that I like watching people chop wood!
