Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World C.291: [A World Where Language Cheats Aren’t Needed]

《”What?”》

The astonished expression on Shitenno made me tilt my head in confusion.

Did I say something strange?

《You, the ‘instant translator’, back then?》

《Back then?》

《Never mind, it’s nothing.》

《Really? Well, okay then.》

Shitenno dodged the question.

What exactly was he trying to say?

But still… Ah, if only all of humanity could be given a language cheat, it’d be so much easier.

Well, that’s impossible.

《But someday…》

Someday, it will surely come.

A time when everyone can casually use powers equivalent to a language cheat.

TV, internet, cell phones.

Humanity has always turned cheat-like abilities into reality through science.

A world where language cheats are meaningless.

That’s my ideal.

My first life goal is watching streams. My second goal is this.

Eliminate language barriers for all VTubers.

And when that’s achieved, it’ll also be time for ‘Translator Girl’ to retire.

Though, I don’t know how many years or decades that’ll take.

Even if the technology is realized, it’ll take an enormous amount of time to support all languages.

《…》

Shitenno was silently pondering something.

I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. 𝐟r𝗲𝚎𝚠e𝐛no𝘃𝗲𝐥.c𝗼m

But, sometimes solutions and ideas come from casual conversations and everyday places.

After all, even scotch tape and pencils can lead to a Nobel Prize in Physics…

《So! I had Bancho teach me, and her explanations were super clear!》

《Hmm?》

《And maybe it’s because it’s my oshis' voice? It felt like I memorized every single word!》

《Hmmm?》

During a meal, I was talking to Ogu about the study session with Bancho.

Ah, what a blissful time it was!

But unfortunately, Bancho is also very busy, so our schedules rarely match up.

Next time might be quite far off…

《Ah, if only Bancho could teach me every day, my grades would improve so quickly… Wait, Ogu, is something wrong?》

《Not really~~?》

《Did something bad happen?》

《Yeah!? Maybe it did!?》

Um? What kind of reaction is this?

Wait, could it be… this pattern is…

《Are you angry with me?》

《Haha, you noticed pretty quickly today, Iroha.》

《Really? Have I finally become able to understand Ogu’s feelings?》

《I’m not complimenting you!? That was sarcasm!》

《Huh? Really!?》

But I don’t remember doing anything to make her angry.

There shouldn't have been any touchy topics. I was just talking about Bancho the whole time.

《And it’s not like you’d be angry about Bancho.》

《I am angry! What else could it be but Bancho!?》

《What!? But I always talk about my oshi, don’t I?》

《That’s different!》

《…This is hard.》

I don’t understand what’s different. Why is Bancho not okay?

It’s not like I’m treating her specially. For me, “special” only applies to Angu Ogu and the others…

Well, all my favorites are unique and special!?

Not in that way.

《Anyway! If you just want to be taught by your oshis' voice, it doesn’t have to be Bancho!? There are educational VTubers too…》

《I’ve watched them all.》

《Uh!? Then, what if I teach you…》

《Can you?》

《Ugh!? But I can at least read the textbook aloud!》

Honestly, that would make me very happy.

In fact, if she did that, I’m confident I could memorize the entire textbook. But…

《Where would Ogu find the time? You’re already super busy.》

《Ugh!? You always have a comeback!》

Even if she says that, I was just stating the facts.

Did my dissatisfaction show on my face?

Ogu shouted.

《Ugh!? I don’t care anymore! Then, Iroha should…》

《——“Have the ‘relaxed voice’ read the textbook to you!》

《…Huh?》

《W-What?》

Ogu was puzzled by my sudden freeze.

I grabbed her hands firmly.

《Huh!? Iroha!?》

《Ogu, that’s… genius! Really, it’s the best idea!》

I stood up, still holding Ogu’s hands, and spun around.

Why didn’t I think of this sooner? Silly me!

Right, there’s text-to-speech software that can mimic VTubers’ voices!

Solutions and ideas often come from unexpected places!

《Ogu, you’re the best! I love you, Ogu! Thank you!》

I was so excited that I shouted such things.

But it seemed to have a positive effect.

《R-Really? Hehe! Right? But wait, Iroha. Did you just say you love me!?》

Ogu’s mood improved.

With that settled, there was a lot to do.

I turned to the computer…

The next week, my grades had completely changed.

Perfect scores. Perfect scores. An array of perfect scores.

Even on tough quizzes, I was acing them one after another.
