Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 386. [And To The 'Outside of the Forest']

What came out of the bag was a small case that could fit in the palm of my hand.

With a click, I opened the case to find a ring inside.

"Oh right, I forgot."

I had kept it safely in the inner pocket so I wouldn't lose it.

But I missed the chance to give it.

If I had known, I would have forced myself to leave it at home.

Christmas had already passed long ago.

"But... this thing is useless now."

I tossed it away.

The impact of hitting the ground caused the ring to fly out of the case.

The ring rolled and clinked against a pile of 'unwanted things' before stopping.

I glanced at it sideways.

Mama-san gently picked up the ring.

'Girl, are all these things really unwanted? We may not understand, but weren't they all important to you?'

'They were important. But now, they're just trash to me. If you want any of it, take whatever you like. If not, dispose of it or do whatever you want.'

'That's not something you can just do.'

Mama-san muttered softly.

Then she reached out to the pile of 'unwanted things.'

As if handling treasures, she carefully picked up each item.

.........I said I didn't need them.

She probably didn't know what to do with them.

She examined them from various angles and asked me.

'Girl, this little ring is a decoration, right? It wouldn't be a problem to take it with you, would it?'

'It's in the way.'

'Then, what about this small board? It looks sturdy, I think it could be used as armor.'

'It's just heavy.'

'Well, then......'

'I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Please don't talk to me too much.'

'I'm sorry. Oh, but this could be used as a small bonfire......'

'Hey, enough already!'

I turned around, irritation mixed in my voice.

And then.......

"——Huh?"

I froze.

Because what was there was an impossible sight.

'Uh, that... why?'

'Um, what's wrong?'

'No, but that... it was supposed to be broken, right?'

'Was it? I'm sorry, I don't know what's correct.'

What Mama-san was holding was a portable battery.

Only one of the indicator lights was on.

What she referred to as a 'small bonfire' was that.

It couldn't serve as a light source by itself. But.......

"No way, why? After that, I checked and it definitely wasn't working."

After it got submerged, I tried charging it multiple times.

But it didn't respond at all.

So, I had assumed it was completely broken.

But...

"Maybe, at that time, there was still moisture inside? Over time, it dried completely........."

No way, like this...

After all this time......

Mama-san, noticing my reaction, handed me the portable battery.

With trembling hands, I took it.

I connected it to my smartphone with a cable, and after a few minutes.

The screen's backlight turned on.

"Ah, ahh... it's bright. It's so bright......"

The logo appeared on the screen.

And then....... .

"Ugh, ugh, uwaaaahhh!"

Tears streamed down my face.

It felt like it had been so long since I last saw it.

There, displayed as my smartphone's wallpaper, was the image of my 'oshi.'

The figure of a VTuber was there.

Angu Ogu's smartphone had 'Translation Girl Iroha' as the wallpaper, right?

And my wallpaper was.....

'...Girl'

Mama-san hugged me as I sobbed.

For the first time, I realized how self-destructive I had become.

'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...............'

'It's okay, it's okay. It's alright.'

Mama-san gently stroked my back.

Then I wiped my tears and stood up.

I couldn't cry forever.

If I had my smartphone, there were still things I could do.

'Uh, Mama-san. There's something I need your help with.'

'Leave it to me.'

Mama-san nodded firmly without even hearing the details——.

"Haa, haa... ugh!"

Desperately clinging on, I reached out to the next branch.

I was now climbing the tallest 'tree' near the settlement.

Several men from the village were supporting me, some even pulling me up.

Everyone was cooperating.

Thanks to Mama-san going around and asking for help.

And everyone gladly agreed.

—You're already part of our family. We don't hesitate to help our family.

They said that.

Climbing a tree alone would have been impossible. But now, I had everyone's support.

'Girl, this is as far as we can go. From here, you have to climb on your own.'

'Haa, haa......... yes!'

Branches and leaves scratched and cut my body.

Still, I kept climbing.

As I neared the top, I could feel the tree swaying wildly.

My palms were scraped and torn, but I didn't let go of the branch.

Thanks to all the training he gave me before he passed away.

But even my grip strength had its limits.

Just as I was about to give up, light broke through the foliage ahead.

I mustered the last of my strength.

"Here we goooooo!"

I stretched my hand as far as I could towards the sky.

Breaking through the thick layer of branches and leaves...

My hand, clutching the smartphone, reached——'outside the forest.'

The Amazon jungle stretched endlessly.

But the sky was much closer than I had thought——.
