“…It’s really a cliché thing to say, but.”
“Yeah.”
Title: If Lily likes it, then fuck yeah
Feeling a sense of camaraderie

LOOOL
Why can I only upvote this once?
Someone stole my upvote.
There’s no bad person among those who like lewd drawings.
Title: So if I draw lewd art, Lily will notice me?
I’m heading off to draw right now.

If you make it too explicit, they won’t be able to use it as a thumbnail.
Nah, before that, you’d probably get banned from the gallery first.
Are you sure it’s fine?
Title: Hey, artists in this gallery, now is the perfect time!
Later, when too many people start drawing Lily fanart, competition will be insane.
Forget thumbnails—getting into YouTube community posts will be hard too.

Looking at Lily’s viewer count, this isn’t even a joke—it’s gonna happen for real.
Dude, do you think YouTube’s No.1 Queen Lily is a joke?
Wait, is she really YouTube’s No.1?
Yup, she’s No.1 in both subscribers and viewer count.
Right now, there aren’t actually that many people running YouTube properly.
They say monetization is possible, but no one really knows how much they can actually earn, so most people just do it as a hobby.
Lily, on the other hand, is a rare case—she’s investing money into her avatar and desperately streaming to make it back.
If she ends up monetizing and only makes pocket change, that’d be hilarious lol.
Title: Lily encouraging lewd art production
Shouldn’t we make her our gallery master?

“…At this rate, the moment my true identity is exposed, my reputation will be completely ruined.”
Seeing the Third Princess in such a state made me feel a slight pang of guilt.
Of course, she was the one who actually went through with it, but I was the one who suggested it in the first place.
To console her, I spoke in the gentlest voice possible.
“Your Highness, do not worry. At this point, even if I restore the real first broadcast video that I once deleted and upload it to the gallery, no one would believe it.”
“…So you’re saying Lily’s reputation is ruined now?”
“Not at all.”
Ruined?
What nonsense.
“This is the peak of your reputation, Your Highness.”
From now on, for the sake of entertainment, it’ll only go downhill.
“You seriously just dig your own grave, don’t you….”
In the end, I got smacked.
But judging by the way her mood instantly improved after hitting me, I guess it worked.
Well, that’s all that matters.
Anyway, my attempt at manufacturing fanart was a success.
After she admitted on stream that she liked lewd art, fanart started trickling in little by little.
More than half of them were… quite revealing.
But still, it was way better than not getting anything at all.
Absolutely.
No doubt about it.
It was an incredibly satisfying outcome.
The Third Princess was happy because she gained devoted viewers who even drew fanart for her.
The viewers who drew the fanart were happy because their favorite streamer noticed them.
The gallery members were happy because they got to see a ton of lewd art.
And I was happy because I now had a new form of entertainment in my VTuber life—hunting for Lily fanart.
Could there be a more perfect ending?
Just as I was basking in the glory of the world I had created—
“Oh, right. I can’t stream tomorrow.”
No Lily stream tomorrow?
Then what the hell am I supposed to watch?
I immediately fell to the floor in despair.
“Your Highness, if this is how you plan to punish me for insulting the Imperial Family, please reconsider. It is not just me, but all of your devoted viewers who will suffer—”
“It’s nothing like that, so get up… I have to go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow.”
“…The Imperial Palace?”
“Nothing special, just a family dinner.”
So the Emperor called for her.
Well, if that’s the case, there’s nothing to be done.
As I was coming to terms with the fact that there would be no stream tomorrow—
“But considering the current situation, isn’t taking a day off actually a good thing for you?”
“…Why?”
“Well… it’s exam season soon. Aren’t you going to study?”
Ah.
I completely forgot.
Right, I was a student at the academy.
Exams, huh… exams…
“Your Highness, setting priorities is an important task.”
“Well, yeah, that’s true. But why bring that up all of a sudden?”
“Is a VTuber more important, or are exams more important?”
As soon as she heard my words, the Third Princess’s mouth fell open.
“Wow… for a second, I thought I gained the ability to instantly recognize bullshit.”
“…Excuse me?”
“You’re seriously saying something so utterly insane that most people would just assume it’s a joke.”
Hmm, is it really that bad?
“How the hell did you even get into the academy… Whatever, it’s your life. Do whatever you want.”
The next day, after that conversation with the Third Princess—
“Hmm…”
Right now, I was in the library, clutching a book.
I had talked a lot in front of the princess, but that didn’t mean I was planning to completely give up on exams.
That said, I wasn’t actually in the library to study.
The reason I was here in the academy’s library was to get content ideas.
Watching the previous “illegal magic” content made me realize something—
It was fine to bring over good content from modern Earth, but the truly great content was the kind tailored to this fantasy world’s needs.
“There was a Hero’s Party during the Holy Kingdom era… Huh. Can I do something with this?”
A Hero Party Tier List content?
Doesn’t really feel right…
“Are you perhaps curious about the Holy Kingdom era?”
A whisper suddenly tickled my ears.
Startled, I turned around to find a woman standing behind me.
And I recognized her.
Well, more accurately, I knew her, but she didn’t know me.
A very famous person—
The Saint, Lebesica.
Why the hell is the Saint of the Goddess Church here?
“It’s rude to talk in the library… Shall we move somewhere else?”
She wants to talk?
With me?
We don’t even have any connection…
Something felt off.
Should I follow her?
A dozen thoughts flashed through my mind in that brief moment.
But I didn’t dwell on it for long.
I wasn’t likely to get another chance to have a conversation with a Saint.
If I let this opportunity slip, I might never get another.
If I played my cards right, I might even be able to introduce VTubers to the Goddess Church.
Converting a conservative religious group to the wonders of VTubers?
Just imagining it made my heart race.
Alright.
Let’s do this.
I regretted my decision within fifteen minutes.
“…I want to become closer to Princess Isabella. But she keeps her distance from me.”
“Uh, um… and why exactly are you telling me this…?”
“The moment I saw you today, the Goddess granted me a revelation.”
Wait, aren’t revelations supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime miracle for a Saint?
As a blasphemous thought crossed my mind—Is the Goddess just handing out revelations for no reason?—I wondered if maybe the Saint was mistaken.
So I cautiously asked,
“May I ask… what exactly was the revelation?”
“It wasn’t anything special. While I was contemplating how to get closer to Princess Isabella, I saw you, and you were radiating light.”
…That just sounds like a hallucination.
I wanted to say that, but…
Unfortunately, it did seem like she really had received a revelation.
The only silver lining was that, at least, the Goddess had the decency not to reveal to her exactly what kind of relationship I had with the Third Princess.
Yeah, if it came out that the Third Princess was a VTuber, that would be too cruel.
“…May I ask what kind of relationship you have with Princess Isabella?”
I wanted to say, “Absolutely nothing.”
But I knew the truth.
The person in front of me was a human lie detector—and a perfect one at that.
At least a normal lie detector has a chance of malfunctioning.
But the Saint?
She was 100% accurate.
No failures.
No exceptions.
…Which meant there was only one option.
“I simply hold feelings for Her Highness in my heart.”
Hiding the real truth with a distorted version of the truth.
That was the only way out of this situation.
“…Eh? W-Wait, when you say ‘hold feelings’…”
“I mean that I adore her.”
…It’s not a lie. Lily is my oshi, after all!
“To the point where I want to see her and hear her voice every single day.”
Again, not a lie.
I do want to watch her streams every day!
“O-oh, u-uh… I… I see… I’m sorry.”
In the end, the Saint gave up on asking further.
After all, love is a sensitive topic.
Even unintentionally prying into it can make a person feel guilty.
“It’s fine.”
There.
Now the red pill of VTuber Lily was safe.
Now, all that was left…
was to take advantage of the guilt the Saint was now feeling and convert the Goddess Church to VTubers.
Is this scummy?
Then so be it.
I already sacrificed my exams for VTubers.
Why not sacrifice my morality, too?
And then—
The Saint suddenly grabbed my hand, her expression filled with newfound determination.
Then, in a voice full of resolve, she declared—
“…Alright. This, too, must be fate. I’ll help you!”
“Help with… what?”
“I will support your love! I’ll help bring you and Princess Isabella together!”
No, I don’t need that kind of help.
