Back to square one. (9)

[The tulip has blossomed beautifully!]

“Waaah…!”

After catching the bugs, whispering “grow well,” watering, and lavishing it with every ounce of attention, the lovely tulip finally opened up.
It might be only a cyber‑flower, yet all the effort I poured in made me absurdly happy. I never imagined raising a single virtual bloom could feel this rewarding.

“How is it? Didn’t I do well?”

wwww

Nacchan, congrats on raising the tulip safe and sound!

I knew you’d pull it off, ww

It was probably tricky your first time, but you did it—good job.

So… are you gonna sell it?

“…I’m not exactly strapped for cash, so no—no selling.”

While I’d fussed over the tulip, our apple farm had advanced massively. A horde of veterans will do that; money was now rolling in whether I touched anything or not.

“This game—was it always this easy to make money?”

Not really…

Partly because there are so many of us, partly because every single one of us is cracked, ww

At this rate we should buy house materials, no?

With a million gold we could build something way nicer than that starter house, lol

A house, huh… Right—the game was about building a house.
Or was it paying off the loan for buying one? Either way…

“What’s step one for building?”

First you need materials, right?

Is Nacchan going to build it herself?

If you want a big house, expanding the land first is smarter, lol

With this many people, more land is a must.

Thirty of us could practically make a village, ww

I nodded. Just as I was about to open the shop, someone strode up and dumped a pile of bricks at my feet.

[Natchandaisukiii] : Here, take these.

“Th‑thank you…?”

[Natchandaisukiii] : We bought them with the pooled funds, so no need to thank me. 🙂

“Ah—okay…”

?

Korean??

Nacchan, don’t just read Hangul out loud like it’s nothing, www

Oh yeah, we forgot about that, lol

Your Korean’s still sharp, huh.

People forget daily, but in truth Nacchan is—mmph!

A cyber‑VTuber who can speak multiple languages isn’t a bad lore point, ww

“Lore”? It’s just facts, lol

I’d reflexively read the Korean chat line. At least I answered in Japanese—if I’d answered in Korean… would it matter? Plenty of Yeoreum‑dan are here anyway. Maybe I should do a Korean‑language stream sometime.

“A‑hem. So, what’s the best way to build a house? Isn’t there some standard‑spec design?”

[1000 ¥]

There is a default house you can buy with a loan at the start.

But that one’s actually hard to craft.

They don’t ask a million gold for nothing.

If you build it yourself it’s way cheaper than a million, ww

Even so, for a newbie it’s rough.

If you don’t want to end up with a house‑shaped… thing, skip it, wwww

Bricks can’t be reused; once you place them, demolishing costs a ton.

So once a brick is set, the cement locks it in. Make a mistake and you’re forced to buy new bricks.

“No worries.”

The semi‑automated apple farm raked in more than enough money, and—more importantly—I had twenty‑nine seasoned pros right here.

Translation: “Please build it for me,” www

So Nacchan wants us to raise the house, lol

We’d happily do it for her, honestly.

Something romantic about building Nacchan a home.

I wanna build one for her too!

Chat burst into laughter. But a house made by experts is better than a rookie’s attempt—saves both money and time. Not that I planned to sit idle.

[You bought Tulip Seeds!]

“I’ll work on a flower garden while you build.”

A whole flowerbed just of tulips? ww

That’ll take ages, lol

If each person builds one house, maybe that matches the effort?

Guess tulip‑raising was fun for you, Nacchan (laugh)

Doesn’t tulip raising take forever, though?

If you grow them one by one you might scrape together a tiny bouquet, ww

“I’m not raising them one by one—I’ll do several at once.”

Maybe three as a test. Seeds are cheap, so failure wouldn’t sting.
I sowed three tulip seeds, watered them, and sprouts poked through. Three sprouts meant triple the chores—but you never know till you try.

Look at her, doing something even degenerates hesitate to try, wwww

One tulip’s fine, but three at once? lol

Might actually be faster to raise them one at a time.

You sure about this, Nacchan?

I can already picture future‑Nacchan pounding the ground in regret, lol

They doubted me, but I’d cleared the minigame once—why not again? Honestly, I still had bandwidth. With practice I might manage five—no, seven—at a time.

“I’m going for it.”

I stretched, planted my hand on the mouse, and set a goal: a tulip flowerbed. Minimum one hundred blooms. Time to grind.

Forum & clip reactions

“Oh, Nacchan’s tulip bloomed!” (Clip: Natsu rejoicing over the blossom)

My daughter reacted just like that on her first bloom, ww

Her reaction’s even better than my kid’s, lol

Still got that childlike heart, Nacchan.

Maybe more childlike than an actual child?

First try and she did great.

Well, she is a gamer.

She’s Gamers’ Nacchan, after all.

If it’s Nacchan, she could raise a hundred, a thousand tulips.

She might genuinely make an entire tulip garden, wwww

Figures she won’t sell them after all that.

Apple farm’s thriving; she’s loaded anyway, lol

Selling a lovingly raised flower for a few coins feels wrong, ww

“Nacchan wants to build a house.” (Clip: Natsu asks how, casually reads a Korean line)

Building’s fine, but stop reading Hangul so naturally, lol

Well, she didn’t answer in Korean, so maybe okay?

Hard to believe it’s been over a year since debut.

Feels like yesterday… Time flies.

The way she dodged the topic was adorable.

Isn’t there a ton of Korean speakers here?

Among hardcore Natsumin it’s more that they all speak Japanese too, wwww

Watching Nacchan house‑build—I assumed she’d buy one and pay off the loan.

Sounds like she’s not planning to build with her own hands, lol

“Nacchan says she’ll make a flowerbed solely of tulips.” (Clip: Natsu planting multiple tulips)

She said “three should be fine” and planted three at once, ww

I can already picture her crying “Too hard!” lol

Honestly she’ll breeze through.

Don’t underestimate Gamers’ Nacchan.

The three are probably test plants.

A fully awake Nacchan would breeze through seven.

I say six.

What, we betting on how many she can grow at once? Eight for me.

Stop betting on “how many tulips Nacchan can raise,” ww

Still, I kinda believe seven’s possible, lol

Even tired, three should be a cakewalk.

“Better than expected, huh.” (Clip: Nacchan raising three tulips simultaneously)

Not easy for me—it’s brutal, lol

My kid still can’t bloom one and cries up a storm.

I’m not a kid and I still haven’t bloomed one, ww

Tulip‑raising might become her specialty, lol

Probably smart to leave construction to others…

“Dumping the boring task on someone else,” wwww

But any Natsumin will have fun doing anything, right?

True that.

Aaah, I wanna play with Nacchan too~

Should’ve figured out the server password then, ww
