Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 388. [The Use Of The Last Minute]

The locals were trying out the satellite communication on my behalf.

Although I failed to send a message, I had figured out how to operate it thanks to the first attempt...

So, I explained the method to them and asked for their help.

Surprisingly, they learned how to operate it easily.

It’s almost like the time with the numbers was a lie... no, actually, that was probably intentional.

It’s not that their memory is bad.

But at first...

They were like, "What’s the point of this? What can you do with that board?"

‘This is a tool to send your voice far away...’

‘Wasn’t that thing singing the music we heard from the forest earlier?’

‘Ah, no, that was...’

I even showed them a bit of a VTuber video to explain.

...Well, no.

Saying it was for explanation is mostly a lie.

It was really for myself. I wanted to recover my spirits.

From what the Secret Service woman said, even if we can’t use the satellite communication anymore...

At the very least, our location has probably already been transmitted.

That sense of relief probably led to this action.

[...]

Even now, thinking about it makes me want to cry.

The voice of my favorite, heard after so long, was wonderful.

‘Girl?’

‘Ah, no... sorry. Can I ask you to do this again tomorrow?’

‘Tell that to tomorrow’s me.’

‘Ahaha, right.’

The local who helped me leaves.

If I catch extra fish while fishing, I’ll give them to him.

If I say it’s extra, he’ll probably accept it.

Though, that’s after my hand heals.

They don’t have a culture of giving gifts as thanks.

So, it’s just for my own satisfaction... but I want to give something back. That’s what I thought.

"If only we could communicate from the riverbank, that would be faster."

The area near the river is open, but we can’t connect to the satellite from there.

Even when we briefly connected, we tried from there first.

But since that didn’t work, I climbed the tree.

Probably, the direction is bad.

"The satellite was found in the opposite direction too."

It’s directly behind the river... blocked by the trees.

We might connect from the other bank, but this village has no boats.

Climbing a tree is much easier and more realistic than crossing the river alone, which is inhabited by dangerous creatures. Of course, the satellite is moving, so there’s a chance we could connect from this riverbank...

But right now, we don’t have enough battery.

I thought we should stick to the method that worked once——

***

Then, one day....

As usual, I had them try the satellite communication...

‘Girl, she’s calling for you.’

‘Got it. — Sorry! I have to go, can you take over!?’

‘Leave it to me!’

After calling out to the person in the tree, I left.

When I went to the Secret Service woman, she immediately asked.

《Iroha-chan, did it connect today?》

《No. We were just trying today’s attempt.》

《I see. Sorry for calling you.》

《It’s fine. Did something happen?》

《...It didn’t connect yesterday or the day before either, right?》

《That’s right.》

Somehow, her expression seemed a bit dark.

As I tilted my head, she continued to confirm.

《What about the crash site? Did you find any communication devices, mine or anyone else’s?》

《No, nothing so far.》

I shook my head.

A few days after I tried to enter the forest alone, the Secret Service woman suggested searching for that.

Probably as an alternative to keep me here...

But indeed, it was much more realistic than advancing through the forest alone.

《What about the aircraft? The onboard communication equipment?》

《Sorry. I checked the wreckage, but it seems that part fell somewhere else.》

《I see.》

《The locals all say they don’t know either... maybe it split in midair and fell on the opposite bank or in the river.》

《...I see.》

《But there are still areas near where we crashed that we haven’t searched yet, so I plan to continue exploring. The locals are quite willing to help with that.》

Nowadays, I spend most of my time searching for such things when not trying the satellite communication.

Of course, I can’t do it alone...

I’ve been relying on them, who say, "I don’t want to go outside the forest, but I don’t mind exploring while hunting."

Also, hunting with me seems to yield monkeys, which might be a big reason.

Being able to lure prey with my voice is convenient, and more importantly, it’s "fun."

It’s like I’m half an attraction.

《But really, be careful. I think there are jaguars over there, right?》

《Yes. So we’re taking it slow... but don’t worry. When we go there, we make sure to have more people than usual.》

《That’s good then.》

Still, her demeanor seemed off.

But................

《Um, is something really wrong?》

《...I’m fine.》

Even when I asked, she didn’t answer.

It didn’t seem like her condition worsened, but I couldn’t guess the reason——

***

And then, back to the original place...

I returned to where they were climbing the tree, but...

"Huh? Not here?"

Looking up, the man who was trying the satellite communication was already gone.

I looked around.

"No smartphone either?"

As I searched, the man returned.

He spoke to me.

‘Ah, girl. I tried, but unfortunately, it didn’t work today either.’

‘I see. Um, by the way, where’s "that board"?’

‘.........Huh? That’s weird? I’m sure I left it at the base of that tree.’

I checked where he pointed, but it was nowhere to be found.

A bad feeling crept in.

I felt the blood drain from my head——.
