Basement-Dwelling Loser VTuber

[【Drawing Stream】It’s my first drawing stream! #KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]

“Y-You know, I sometimes think that Charlotte’s true nature is probably lewd, right?”

-?

-What’s that out of the blue?

-Didn’t you say you liked Charlotte, Uncle?

“Yeah? I do like her…?”

Liking Charlotte and thinking she’s a lewd woman are completely different stories, right?

“From the middle, this Saintess outfit you’re wearing is way too revealing, and Charlotte chose it herself… She must definitely be lewd wanting to wear something like this…”

-Where exactly is it lewd?

-The only lewd one here is Mei-chan’s brain, LOL.

-You lewd JK!

I just spoke my honest thoughts, but an avalanche of slander started pouring down on me.

But this is an undeniable fact, so I’m never going to back down!

“L-Look at this. The side part is slightly open, right…? There are times in manga where the side becomes slightly visible because of this, so it must have been intentional…”

-Just because of that one thing?

“No, more than that, this outfit… It’s all see-through at the back… No matter how you look at it, isn’t this outfit meant to tempt Satoru Uncle?”

Charlotte, who always supports from behind Satoru Uncle, is wearing an outfit that reveals her back.

This sense of betrayal is something everyone can feel without me having to explain it.

Why does everyone act like I’m the weird one?

I feel so wronged.

“Charlotte’s true nature must definitely be lewd… Hehe…”

-If you’re a JK, stop with the pervy middle-aged uncle comments and laughter.

-You don’t seem to hate Charlotte after all, do you?

“What are you talking about? I like Charlotte, that’s why I’m saying this!”

Of course, thinking her nature is lewd could feel like a flaw to some people.

But I like Charlotte even with those parts included.

In fact, I like her even more knowing that that lewd nature is aimed only at Satoru Uncle!

“Ugh, hehe…”

So what I want to say is that when fans draw Charlotte praying, they must pay extra attention to that back and side!

The artist must always pay attention to this part too.

“And isn’t embracing even the opponent’s flaws what true love is all about…?”

-Ah, is that so…?

-Stop trying to finish off with fancy words.

“Uhh….”

After finishing the rough sketch, I stretched and checked the clock; it was already 8:30 PM.

While chatting with the Izutomo, it naturally took much longer than usual.

-Is it almost time to finish?

-When are you going to continue drawing again?

“Hmm, a-a bit, maybe during tomorrow’s chatting stream, I might draw again…?”

Tomorrow was scheduled as a normal chatting stream anyway, so it wouldn’t be a problem to switch to a drawing stream.

And fortunately, it seemed like the Izutomo accepted it as they didn’t say anything further.

“W-Well then, I’ll be heading off. Let’s see each other again…”

-Bye, Izumi!

-Bye, Izumi!

“Ugh…”

After finishing the broadcast, I quietly shoved my head into the desk and sighed.

“…As expected, it seems like nothing yet.”

Well, considering I’ve only finished the rough sketch, it would be strange to notice anything from that.

But I think tomorrow I might get to the line art, so might there be someone who notices by then?

Of course, I was mentally prepared for it… but still, I couldn’t help but feel tense.

[【Drawing Stream】Draw and Chat! #KainohIzumi#StarsFlow]

Those who draw usually use SNS like Naver.

Some just want to show off their skills, others use it as a channel for freelance work, and some want to chat with others while drawing.

But I’ve never once engaged in art-related SNS in this life.

…Well, to be precise, I’ve never engaged in SNS at all.

To me, drawing is just a hobby I can enjoy alone, relieving stress from other matters.

Of course, I’d be lying if I said I’ve never wished to show off my skills, but in the end, I concluded, “Why bother?” and didn’t take action.

Since I’ve thought it best to avoid SNS and community activities since my previous life.

However.

-I should collaborate with Toka Mama for a drawing stream later.

“Yeah… Oh, I mentioned we should draw together next time…”

That didn’t mean my skills were lacking.

It’s absolutely not true that my illustrations have never been revealed to the world.

-Mei-chan, but you draw surprisingly well, right?

-It looks like I’ve seen that drawing style somewhere before.

As the line art was nearing completion, slowly reactions like that started to emerge among the Izutomo.

No, among them, there was definitely someone who had noticed 100%.

But mentioning the “person behind the VTuber” in a broadcast would be taboo, so thankfully, no one brought it up outright.

Still, discussions about it were probably surfacing in the community.

I mean, I wonder if it’s okay to even call this “the person’s information”? I had no intention of showing that I cared about such chats on air, though.

“Ah, and did you see Uncle’s Naver from yesterday?! I told you I was right!”

-That was real?

After my broadcast ended yesterday, Uncle’s Naver went up.

[Charlotte’s outfit does indeed have some intention behind it.]

[But I never thought someone would catch on to the side part.]

[Even the editor didn’t know until I mentioned it…]

While it didn’t directly affirm that Charlotte is lewd, they confirmed the intention behind the outfit.

This is the keen insight of a dedicated fan who sincerely prayed for Uncle’s novels from his short story days!

-30-something uncles and a JK with the same thought process are incredible~

-So that means both are perverted, right?

“Hey, don’t say that! People who don’t know will misunderstand…”

I just penetrated Charlotte’s thoughts; it’s not that I’m a pervert!

-Not a misunderstanding but just stating the facts!

-How about going back to watch yesterday’s broadcast?

I feel wronged.

I’m not at fault, yet the world tortures me…

[Title: Izumi’s Previous Life Finally Speculated from the Homeland]

[Writer: ㅇㅇ]

Seems like they’re reading “　　” as “Blank”?

She’s a well-known illustrator in Japan, and it seems some of those who caught on from yesterday’s Izumi drawing stream were from the homeland.

I’ll drop a link, so go check it out yourself.

EigXXCh.Net/XXXXXXX

[Recommendation: 51 / Disrecommendation: 3]

ㅇㅇ: Izumi was REALLY Blank?

└Eumseup: Who the heck is Blank, you nerds?

└ㅇㅇ: There’s an illustrator from the homeland who’s famous for a weird reason.

└ㅇㅇ: Her skill is top-notch in the industry, but she doesn’t engage at all, so she’s not famous.

uwu: Isn’t she the illustrator people sometimes ask to please just be active from the homeland?

└ㅇㅇ: Yep, that’s right.

└uwu: Mei-chan was REALLY her?

Oya-bong : When I watched yesterday’s stream, the drawing style felt familiar and turned out to be Blank.

…

Don’t lie: There’s a reason she’s not active in SNS or community. LOL.

└Don’t lie: How can someone with Communication Impairment reveal their name and be active?

└ㅇㅇ: Then what about the VTuber?

└Don’t lie: I don’t know that either.

Girim-girim: So you’re telling me that in reality, I’m an unpopular loner with Communication Impairment, but online, I’m a super popular ambiance creator hiding my skills?!

└ㅇㅇ: It’s just dizzying.

There’s an illustrator named “　　”.

The first time he appeared in front of people was three years ago.

It was a celebratory illustration for the release of a new game by a popular entertainment company in Japan, “Stellar,” called “Rhapsody in the Shining Sky.”

The protagonist’s illustration against a vast wilderness was of quality so outstanding that no one could deny it.

However, the illustration didn’t have the illustrator’s pen name attached, and even though the quality was at the top of the industry, no one could know the illustrator’s name, which naturally piqued the interest of many.

So many speculated.

“This illustration must belong to this person.”

But every guess was outright denied.

Countless users directly inquired Stellar and even approached various illustrators, yet the answer always came back as one:

“No, it’s not.”

The most likely candidate, Yukino Toka, also denied it, saying it wasn’t her.

Time went by, and just as people were beginning to forget that such an illustration ever existed…

“Rhapsody in the Shining Sky” began airing as an animation, and his illustration appeared again in the end card of episode 7.

And once more, the illustrator’s pen name was not attached.

In the next two years, his illustrations were revealed a total of three times.

But not once was the illustrator’s pen name attached.

The commonality was that all illustrations were only used in works related to Stellar.

So speculation began to gain traction that this illustrator was an internal employee of Stellar, but that speculation was outright denied.

He is neither an internal employee of Stellar nor a well-known illustrator.

He never reveals his pen name and never engages in SNS or community activities.

It was only natural for that illustrator to gain fame in various meanings.

So the name people randomly attached to him was “　　”, Blank.

Many people who fell in love with “　　”’s art became fans but finding his other works online was impossible.

Thus, they waited for the announcement of Stellar’s new work.

But news of “　　” had not been heard even from Stellar for the past year, and in the flood of information on the internet every day, it was only natural that the existence of “　　”, which had no activities, slowly began to fade away.

Indeed.

Once a cult-favorite illustrator.

“　　” was me.
