Welcome back! You're tuned in to Super Earth's most explosive, most no-holds-barred program—Midnight Syndrome Radio!

I'm your old friend speaking through your headphones, and the amazing host about to capture your hearts—Meme-germ!

...You talk too much. Hello everyone, I'm Skip-chat.

Now that we've finished roasting this quarter's intensely thrilling and slightly psychotic band anime series, let's get back to reality and talk about recent world news!

Dear listeners, do you know what the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color> is?

Oh, I know about that. It's the one that's been trending recently...

This is an extremely dangerous pathogen. In the early stages of infection, patients experience dizziness, nausea, and even clouded consciousness and confused memories.

As time passes, the infected gradually lose basic social skills and develop a pathological, self-destructive obsession with work and competition.

Typically, they abandon sleep altogether, spending day and night at offices, gyms, arcades, or any place that drains their energy, until they collapse from exhaustion.

To put it simply—<size=45><b>G R I N D U N T I L D E A T H!</b></size>

...Sounds like they turn into robots straight out of some old movie.

What's even more terrifying is that while corrupting the infected's sanity, this virus continuously distorts their physical appearance!

Meme-germ

At first, the colors on the infected gradually fade away...

Eventually, they transform into an incomprehensible being—

...Where did you even find those images? They're revolting. Get rid of them, now.

To this day, the origin and transmission mechanism of the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color> are still shrouded in mystery. All anyone knows is that a relaxed and joyful social environment can inhibit its spread.

If you see any strange individuals who are fanatically obsessed with working overtime, have confused memories, or display extremely abnormal appearances, be sure to keep your distance and report them to the Supreme Leader's Office immediately.

The contact hotline is... um, what was it again?

It's—huh? I can't seem to recall.

Where was I just now? Oh, right—

Do you all know what the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color> is?

???

Hey, Darling, <size=50>wake uuuuup!</size>

In the hazy darkness, a playful call rings in your ears, like a hook sinking into the sea, reaching for your muddled consciousness and pulling it out.

You were sleeping so deeply, just like a little baby.

Vie-chan has prepared a nutritious breakfast for you. Come on, open wide, aah—

A glass container presses against your lips, and a warm, sweet liquid slowly glides into your mouth.

So, feeling more awake now?

In a spacious, bright room, a familiar girl is straddling you.

She wears a mischievous smile, gently swirling the glass bottle in her hand.

Calling me someone else's name the moment you wake up?... As punishment, you have to finish all of Vie-chan's lovingly prepared breakfast.

Glug, glug, glug—

Jetavie presses the glass bottle against your lips, forcefully pouring the warm, palatable "breakfast" into your mouth.

After you down the entire drink, she flashes a smug grin and then thoughtfully runs her fingertip along the corners of your mouth, wiping away the last remaining droplets.

Oh? You seem quite lucid now. Want Vie-chan to say. That. Specific. Word. Again?

She covers her mischievous grin with her left hand while swirling the glass bottle with her right. The crimson liquid inside shimmers in the soft light.

If you behave well and finish your breakfast, then Vie-chan will reward you, capiche?

Before you can respond, she presses the glass bottle against your lips, pushing them apart to forcefully pour the warm liquid into your mouth.

Glug, glug, glug—

Mmm, very good. You're such a good kid.

As she speaks, she gently leans her face close until her breath tickles your ear.

How does today's lovingly prepared breakfast taste? Darrrling?

The girl tilts her head, enunciating each syllable deliberately as she studies your reaction up close, her face radiating an impish energy with a mischievous smile.

Hearing your question, she crosses her arms with a puzzled expression on her face.

Jetavie? Vie-chan is Vie-chan, the beautiful Supreme Leader of Super Earth—Vie-chan!

How did you wake up with amnesia? Could it be you were attacked by those nasty adults' mind-control rays?

Come on, get up! Vie-chan will perform her Super Memory Recovery Technique on you.

She takes your hand and helps you up from the bed.

After you see "these", you might remember something—

The girl leads you by the hand and pushes open the door. A black-and-white interior instantly floods your vision.

In the center of the room stands a long table covered with electronic devices. A water-cooled PC case emits a soft glow, accompanied by lighting equipment, a standing microphone, a dance pad, a VR headset... It matches your memory of what a high-end gaming room should look like.

A white carpet bearing Jetavie's pixel portrait stretches beneath your feet, while the surrounding walls are covered with all manner of Jetavie-themed photographs.

And in all of these photos, you seem to be present as well.

This is the Supreme Leader's secret base! These photos on the wall document every precious moment of our journey together.

You're my super, super important Raven, you know?

With hands behind her back and head tilted to one side, she answers you before you can even voice your unspoken question.

That's right.

Her delicate fingers extend gently, pressing lightly against the Gray Raven emblem on your chest.

Raven is a poet, a swordsman, a philosopher, a pioneer of aerodynamics... and recently even became Vie-chan's Chief Producer!

The girl solemnly bestows upon you a litany of absurd titles with an air of grave importance.

She raises her hand, pointing to a photo of herself standing on a raised platform.

This is the iconic moment of Vie-chan's fist-pumping speech during Vie-chan's campaign for Supreme Leader. Look, Raven was standing right next to me.

In the image, you appear to be serving as security personnel, standing guard at her side.

That one is a combat photo of Raven and Vie-chan bravely storming the enemy headquarters. I even threatened them at the time, saying if they didn't hand over this photo, I'd blow up two more bases.

"What, you'd blow us all to smithereens just for this one photo?!" Hahaha! Can you imagine the looks on their faces?

In the photo, you and her are wearing armor resembling tin cans, clutching weapons that look like chainsaws—the whole scene evokes a strong Golden Age sci-fi movie vibe.

And this one here, this is the moment when we disbanded all the companies on Earth together.

After that, all companies were turned into video game or anime companies. There were no more scheming or political intrigues from the "grown-ups," and Super Earth entered an unprecedented era of peace.

In this new era, everyone can freely choose their own path for the future and pursue careers they're passionate about. You can truly say it's a happy ending for everyone.

Even though the "grown-ups" were quite reluctant, Vie-chan eventually persuaded them with a bit of "gunpoint diplomacy."

As she speaks, she forms a gun shape with her right hand, squints her eyes, and playfully "pulls the trigger" at you with a mischievous grin.

In this fantastical tale of hers, you're supposedly the important character who's always by her side, yet right now you have no memory whatsoever of any of these adventures.

Recently, a strange disease called the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color> has broken out on Super Earth. Anyone who gets infected by this virus transforms into a creature beyond our comprehension.

She approaches the computer desk, her ribboned tail swaying gently behind her.

Her tail lightly taps the computer case, and the two adjacent monitors light up instantly, displaying content related to the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color>.

Distorted histories, eerie photographs, syndromes that can only be suppressed in a relaxed environment...

A flood of incongruous information overwhelms your mind, leaving you utterly bewildered.

It's all because of the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color> that so many people have turned into emotionless, burned-out work machines who only know how to go to work.

According to intelligence gathered by my cabinet besties, to stop the virus in its tracks, we have to make everyone happy again!

Therefore, to save Super Earth, Supreme Leader Vie-chan has decided to start streaming every night at seven o'clock and become an internet idol!

She stands with hands proudly planted on her hips, dramatically announcing her online debut that will determine the fate of humanity.

Hey, why do you still have that I-just-woke-up look on your face? Don't you remember yet?

Could it be—Raven has also been infected with the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color>?

Emergency procedure initiated! Supreme Leader CQC Healing Technique!

A slender tail springs out from behind her, coiling around her body and swaying from side to side.

Just as the tail makes contact with you, the terminal on your wrist suddenly illuminates. Two lines of text glow prominently.

>>>>> [Mission Objective] Eliminate 3D Virus (65%)<<<<<< >>>>>> [Mission Reward] Unlock Reality Portal<<<<<

The moment your gaze connects with it, a hazy stream of thoughts suddenly floods into your mind—

Here, take this data cable. Just attach it to your neck.

A mutually assured destruction device.

All I have to do is tap this button, and Babylonia will be blown all the way to the Qu star system.

Jetavie delivers these chilling words with a grave expression, her finger tracing the smooth edges of the red button.

But in the very next moment, her solemn expression breaks as she can't hold it in any longer, a burst of laughter escaping her mouth as she claps her hands with glee.

Hehe—just kidding! If a button like that really existed, the great Jetavie wouldn't have hesitated for so long!

She sits down beside you and attaches another data cable to her own neck.

I've already checked—the White Box contains a virtual local computing server... To put it simply, just think of it as a basic matrix world.

As for what's actually inside, well, we'll just have to dive in and see for ourselves.

Since it's a gift left by Yui, I'm guessing there must be something interesting inside.

However, we can't rule out the possibility of encountering unexpected risks inside, just like in the matrix. Chosen One, if you don't want to get lost in the data, you'd better hold tight, okay?

As she speaks, she places your right hand on top of her hand, the warmth of her skin heating up your palm.

The great Jetavie and the Chosen One's Elite Adventure Squad—let's go!

Then, she presses the start button.

<i>The sense of the world must lie outside the world.</i>

<i>——Ludwig Wittgenstein</i>

Hey, Darling, wake uuuuup!

A young woman's call shatters the scene in your memory, breaking it into shards of scattered light that reassemble into the present moment.

Hmm—?

Coming back to your senses, you're greeted by Jetavie's slightly puzzled gaze.

Looking at the terminal on your wrist again, two glowing lines of text remain jarringly prominent—

>>>>> [Mission Objective] Eliminate 3D Virus (65%)<<<<< >>>>> [Mission Reward] Unlock Reality Portal<<<<<

According to your memory, shortly after you and Jetavie entered the White Box, the two of you seem to have encountered some kind of interference, transporting both of you to this world invaded by the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color>.

The "Jetavie" before you, or rather Vie-chan, is currently playing the role of the supreme ruler of this world.

To combat the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D Virus</color>, Vie-chan has decided to spread joy to people through livestreaming, seeking to maintain a relaxed atmosphere in this world.

As for you, you're supposed to play the role of "producer" in this world, working together with Vie-chan on her livestreams.

If the text on the terminal is true... then perhaps going with the flow and collaborating with this world's Vie-chan is your only hope of returning to reality right now.

Hey, why are you spacing out? You haven't said a word...

Don't tell me—you're captivated by Vie-chan?

Hearing your response, Vie-chan becomes surprised, but her expression quickly melts into a delighted smile.

Great! I was just thinking that if Raven really couldn't remember anything, I'd have to knock you out and resort to hypnotherapy.

Good thing you recovered your memories just in time...

You clear your throat and quickly slip back into your role as "producer."

Tonight at seven! And it's Vie-chan's debut stream—it's already scheduled as a dance stream!

She flicks her tail toward the digital clock beside the console, which reads "9:30 AM," her voice bubbling with excitement.

Huh? You're supposed to be my producer, yet you don't even know what a dance stream is?

A dance stream is a livestream that primarily features dancing. If Vie-chan were to prepare songs instead, then that broadcast would be called a "song stream."

That's right! Today is Producer Raven's first day on the job, so you'd better make a good impression in front of Vie-chan!

Hmm... I'm okay, I guess. After all, as the Supreme Leader, I have countless matters to attend to each day. Sure, I'm skilled at stirring up trouble, but I can't be skilled at everything.

She shrugs her shoulders, wearing an expression that suggests she's reluctant to admit the truth.

Crash training... Does that mean going out to have fun together? That sounds interesting!

She looks energetic and even somewhat impatient, immediately showing approval for her own proposal.

To protect humanity and drive the <color=#ff4e4eff>3D virus</color> out of Super Earth, the Supreme Leader's training mission officially begins!

Ahem—I hereby appoint Producer Raven as the Supreme Leader's special training coach! If you perform exceptionally well, Vie-chan will re-ward you ve-ry nice-ly!

And so, the curtain rises on this whimsical fairy tale.

At the same time, you officially embark on a virtual idol development journey, with reality as your final destination.
