Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 389. [The Song That Connects The World]

――No smartphone.

I panicked and searched everywhere.

Then, I found a group of children gathered at the edge of the village.

And I heard familiar music.

Could it be... Are they using my smartphone without permission!?

‘Uh, um!?’

Pushing through the crowd, I found my smartphone at the center.

They were all gathered around it, watching a video.

But just as I reached out—

It made a click sound in front of me, and the screen went completely black.

The battery had died.

The children stared curiously at the now motionless device.

"...............No way"

That was the last of it.

There’s really no battery left now.

Ugh! Anger welled up inside me.

I was about to yell at the children—but when I saw their faces, I stopped.

"No, that’s not right. It’s my fault."

There wasn’t a hint of malice in their faces.

That’s right, isn’t it?

I had almost forgotten.

They don’t have the concept of “ownership.”

Everything is shared.

So of course, they don’t have any idea of “using without permission” or “stealing.”

The fact that I had unlocked it for satellite communication, making it accessible to anyone, was also a factor.

Even though it was necessary, it ended up backfiring.

And most importantly—they had no way of knowing that overusing it would cause the battery to die. I never taught them that.

‘...Onee-chan, I’m sorry. Did we break this board?’

'No, that’s not it. That tool... just finished its job, that’s all.'

My anger slowly faded.

In fact, I even thought this was for the best.

What the children were watching just before the battery died—was a VTuber video.

They must have remembered the operation from when I briefly showed it to them before. Smart kids.

Their eyes sparkled while watching the video.

The last of the battery—was used to spread VTubers deep in the Amazon.

I won’t let anyone say that was a waste.

At least, I can’t think that way.

‘That board... how was it? Was it fun?’

‘Yeah! Super fun!’

‘...............I see.’

I patted their heads.

I no longer felt any regret.

But even so, I must have looked really down.

One of the children stood up and shouted.

‘Onee-chan, watch this!’

And then, they started singing and dancing.

It was the VTuber song they had all been listening to earlier.

They probably only half-remembered it, and the words were likely unclear.

But they looked so happy that it made all that seem trivial.

‘Me too! Me too!’

Everyone started singing and dancing together.

They were trying to cheer me up.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

I couldn’t let them worry or feel sorry for me.

‘...Um, the rest of it—’

Since the battery died, they probably only saw part of it.

I wiped my tears and stood up.

"-.-"

I started singing the rest.

I’m not very good, but I added some dancing too.

At first, the children stared at me blankly, but soon they started copying me.

Together, we all sang and danced to the VTuber song.

‘What’s this, what’s this? The kids are having a festival!’

‘Looks fun! Let us join in too!’

People started gathering, and the circle gradually grew bigger.

Everyone in this village loves festivals.

When I finished singing, a loud cheer erupted.

People who had gathered started calling out to me.

‘Girl, you’re really good at singing!’

'Nice, nice! Sing more! Dance more!'

‘Teach us that song too, will you?’

Being praised like that, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

After all, I’m really bad at this!

The original is way, way better!

Just as I was thinking that, one of the children said,

‘Onee-chan, you’re amazing! You were just like the people on that little board earlier!’

‘...!’

My heart skipped a beat.

Then a smile spread across my face.

‘Hehe, that’s right. I’m a VTuber too!’

They probably don’t know what a VTuber is.

But at that moment, I could confidently say it.

Deep in the forest, where there’s no electronics, where the word “virtual” feels the most distant.

Even so, I could proudly say that I’m a VTuber.

‘Hey, girl! We want to hear more!’

‘Do you know any other songs? Can you sing more?’

‘Uh, um......... Well, there’s one I’ve been practicing.’

It was a song and dance I had been practicing for a VTuber international event.

I probably won’t make it in time now.

I don’t even know the exact date.

My smartphone and even the spare battery were completely dead, so the date and time weren’t displayed.

But even if I could go back, it’d be tough to participate.

Because......... I hadn’t finished recording yet.

In fact, the event might already be over.

I missed my chance to perform this song.

Or............ I might never get another chance.

Maybe there was a sense of memorial in it too.

So, I never imagined it would turn out like this.

The song that saved the world—ended up saving us too.

I started singing that song.

The song we all sang together during that incident, wishing for peace.

When the locals heard it, their eyes widened for a moment, and then they started singing along.

――In their own language.

"............Huh?"

Even though I stopped singing in surprise, they kept going. For some reason—they knew the song!
