[【Off Collab】It’s been a while since I’ve done an off collab with Toka Mama!#KainohIzumi#YukinoToka#StarsFlow]
Well, even though I felt a bit embarrassed about the weird greeting after the trial, it didn’t really affect the broadcast much.
In the end, we had a set period of two weeks, and this was ultimately content for the broadcast.
Of course, if you look at places like the community or the Naiter, there were certainly some people who took things too far, but those people didn’t attract much attention.
In other words, this collab was just a normal success, and several clips were made, and that’s just the extent of it.
…Well, to be honest, I don’t really know either!
It’s only been a day, so there’s no way I could know the opinions in the community or on Naiter!
I’m just hoping it’s okay.
– What did you two do today?
Anyway, before starting the drawing broadcast, we casually chit-chatted.
Of course, a drawing broadcast is inherently easy to communicate in, but it’s impossible to fully focus on the chatroom.
“Today, um, we didn’t really do anything…”
“We’re going on a date tomorrow, you know~.”
Naturally, quite a few questions popped up in the chatroom.
Starting from what we did today, to what we had for dinner, what our plans were for tomorrow, and whether we often chat with each other, etc….
Maybe because this was a collaboration that doesn’t happen often, the curiosity of the Izutomo seemed boundless.
– It’s my first time here. I recently started watching VTubers and want to decide on my favorite. What do you think is the strength of your channel?
Still, after answering all those questions, as we were getting ready to transition to the drawing broadcast, a question like that popped up in the chatroom.
“Eh? First time…? Um, uhm. …Hey, everyone, what do you think are the, um, strengths of my channel…?”
I tried to come up with something that was specifically a strength of my channel, but nothing came to mind.
Maybe that I’m good at games?
But the viewers of VTubers don’t specifically choose their favorites based on gaming skill…
“Um, err… Well, I can draw well?”
– Why is that a question?
– You sound unsure of your words.
No matter how confident I am in my skills, saying I draw well in front of Aunt Shia feels a bit off…
“So, um… what are the real strengths of my channel?”
– You often use Yeo-sang.
– You’re the easiest VTuber to get used to Yeo-sang.
“…No, that’s absolutely not a strength, you know?”
Don’t say things like that when it’s a good opportunity to increase my Izutomo….
– You’re cutest when you cry.
– Watching you makes me want to tease you.
Is that really a strength…?
– Your avatar is pretty.
– I love being able to see Toka Mama’s lovingly crafted illustrations often.
“W-Well, that is a strength but…”
However, saying it like that makes my broadcast seem like, “Isn’t it fine since it’s cute?!”
And more than anything, the second point isn’t really a strength of my broadcast.
Sure, I think it’s great that Aunt Shia often posts my drawings on Naiter.
“What do you think is the strength of my broadcast, Toka Mama…?”
“Hmm, the fact that I’m a JK…?”
“Eh…?”
“That’s not an ‘eh’! It really is a massive bonus point, Izumi.”
– Certainly, Toka Mama is right.
– That PLUS point is perfect, lol.
…I’m sorry, but that strength will disappear in a year.
After about five minutes of discussion and summarizing, the strengths of my channel turned out to be: “Easy to get used to Yeo-sang, cute when crying, and a pretty avatar… a JK VTuber who gets value from Natsune.”
…What is my broadcast even about?
I started to seriously wonder about that.
Is it really okay for such a channel to hit 300,000 subscribers on OnTube…?
★
Anyway, we started the drawing broadcast as initially announced.
But since there wasn’t enough space, sharing my desk with Toka Mama was impossible.
“Can you hear me well, Toka Mama…?”
[Yes. It’s coming through well.]
As a result, Aunt Shia decided to work while lying on my bed.
We transmitted Aunt Shia’s tablet screen to my broadcast screen and solved the mic issue by using Miscode for our conversation.
– This doesn’t feel like an off collab at all, does it…?
“Y-Yeah, that does seem to be the case…”
But the important thing is that in this space, Toka Mama and I are here together, right?
In any case, thus began the drawing broadcast.
What I was drawing was an illustration of Uncle Sato and Charlotte as a couple.
And Aunt Shia, as a commemoration of the off collab, started drawing an illustration of “Kainoh Izumi” and “Yukino Toka” with their foreheads touching.
…How should I put this?
The fact that Toka-sensei is drawing me right here feels a little embarrassing.
– Did Toka Mama watch the trial yesterday?
[Yeah. I mean, isn’t a 99 percent guilty verdict a bit too harsh…?]
Aunt Shia responded to that chat with a giggle.
“Y-You saw it…”
I’m sorry, Toka Mama.
Mama’s daughter, Izumi, became a criminal with such a pretty board…
Well, I really have no idea what crime it actually is…
– I’m jealous of Toka Mama collabing with Mei-chan. I want to collab with Mei-chan too~
“Eh? If you’re a resident of the virtual world, maybe you’ll get a chance to someday? Ah… but if you’re a guy, then, um, it won’t work.”
– Huh?
– Is gender really that important?
“I’m an idol too, you know. Th-That kind of issue is obviously important…”
Being an idol is a profession that sells dreams and aspirations to those who watch them.
For an idol selling those dreams, being involved with a guy is simply unacceptable.
Of course, the opposite is also true; male idols shouldn’t get involved with girls.
Even if I didn’t voluntarily start being a VTuber, I’ve thought this through quite thoroughly.
Natsune collaborating with a male VTuber? That’s absolutely impossible, no way that can happen.
Just thinking about it makes my horns ache… Well, it’s not like it’s ever going to happen anyway.
“So, I can’t collab with guys, like, at all…”
– I’m starting to resent myself for being born a guy.
– Should I get surgery?
– I’m off to be reborn right now.
“No… it’s not that… just being a girl automatically means you can collab, right?”
If you want to collab with me, you’d have to debut as a VTuber too.
Moreover, living as a girl isn’t necessarily all good.
You lack strength, are low on stamina, and have annoyances that occur periodically…
But saying that being a guy is all good isn’t true either; both have their pros and cons.
Since in my previous life I was a guy and now I’m living as a girl, my credibility is a solid 100 percent.
– By the way, was Mei-chan an idol?
– I’ve always just thought she was a comedian.
– Isn’t the idol I know a bit different from that?
“Hey! Anyone can tell I’m a proper idol…!”
How can they not be satisfied with such a cute girl who can sing and dance?!
Of course, compared to other members, I do have quite a few shortcomings…!
But still, you guys should consider yourselves lucky!
[That’s right! Our Izumi is a proper idol!]
“See! T-Toka Mama also acknowledges it!”
Aunt Shia enthusiastically supported my words from the back.
Riding that momentum, I protested in the chatroom.
After all, Mama here is the only one on my side…
– Do you know the saying that the child you hold is more precious than the one you carry?
– But Mei-chan, anyone can tell you’re a comedian…
“Uwaaaa…”
However, it seems that the Izutomo in the chatroom had no intention of backing down.
Why won’t these guys ever just give in to me…?
But it’s fine. Right now, I have Aunt Shia by my side who will back me up no matter what.
No matter how much you say, my heart won’t waver.
– Toka Mama! I’m curious about what kind of scent it is on Mei-chan’s bed!
[Izumi’s bed? Hmm… wait a moment.]
…Eh?
Aunt Shia? Why are you putting the tablet down?
Eh? Why are you putting your head on the pillow…?
[Sniff! Ha! Sniff! Ha! …Yeah! The pillow has an incredibly sweet and nice smell! Is that peach-scented?]
– LOL
– No way, that’s real, haha.
– I’m jealous of Toka Mama.
– The lack of hesitation made me laugh.
“A-Aunt…?! …Ah. T-T-Toka Mama?! W-W-What are you doing?!”
Despite my scream, Aunt Shia showed no signs of stopping.
In fact, she burrowed deeper into the blanket…
“Wha?! W-Wait a moment!”
I quickly removed my headphones and jumped onto the bed.
There was a loud noise behind me, but I didn’t have time to care about that right now.
[Don’t worry, everyone! Izutomo, I’ll definitely grab the treasure you wanted! Sniff!]
“P-Please stop…! Stop it…! Toka Mama…!”
[Yes! It smells good even under the blanket! Hmm… should I say it’s a soft scent? When I smell it, it feels like my body floats… Hehehe.]
“Uuuu…!”
I pulled with all my strength on the blanket and Aunt Shia’s body, but my efforts were in vain.
Why—why is there no one on my side in my broadcast…?!
