Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 390. [The End Of Life In The Amazon]

The locals were all humming 'that song' that saved the world.

After a while, the singing ended, and silence fell.

I asked them in a trembling voice,

'Um, that song just now... how do you all know it?'

'This song? We learned it from a 'good person.''

'Ah, he was a good person.'

'Yeah, yeah.'

They all chimed in.

'Who is this 'good person'?'

'We’re not sure, but he was a man who came to our village because he was interested in our language.'

'...Huh!?'

What does that mean!?

Has someone other than me been here before!?

No, come to think of it, they’ve been tolerant of me, an outsider, from the very beginning.

Of course, I think their culture and background play a role.

But the biggest reason might be that they’ve already experienced it before, right?

Because they’ve known outsiders before?

'We taught him about life here. He gave us many things.'

'Some of it was useless, but the pot was good.'

And the axe too.

Now that I think about it, the iron tools scattered around the village...

I thought they had just floated down from upstream, but they’re not rusted.

And the elders said they threw away the guns because 'they’re dangerous.'

But how did they know they were dangerous?

It’s obvious.

Because they’d seen them before.

When they came here, the field linguist... or perhaps their guide.

They must have brought them for self-defense.

And the boat too.

This village has no boats, yet they knew the word for it.

'Ah, but the best thing was the wristwatch.'

'Yeah. The good person said he got it from his grandfather, but he gave it to us as a token of friendship.'

'...Huh?'

Something about that statement felt off.

But before I could figure it out, the conversation moved on.

Come to think of it, that good person was also interested in our lifestyle, culture, and plants.

'He was surprised we didn’t have boats and tried to teach us how to make them.'

'Come to think of it, my daughter was like that too. Do outsiders like to teach?'

'No, not particularly.'

But now that they mention it, it’s strange that they knew about boats despite not having any.

Someone... that 'good person' must have taught them.

And that person was most likely the 'field linguist.'

There are still many undiscovered languages in this world.

Few people study them, and they’re constantly being born and disappearing.

In this scientifically advanced modern age, many mysteries have already been solved.

But in this field, there are still many treasures waiting to be found.

They are the modern-day adventurers!

But I never thought someone would come all the way here.

'Um, when did that person come!?'

'Hmm?'

Ah, darn it!

That’s right!

They have no concept of time.

So they wouldn’t know the exact time frame.

But the fact that they know this song means it must have been within the last two years.

In other words, very recently.

'Um, is there a chance that person will come again!?'

'Now that you mention it, he did say he’d come back soon.'

'...! Yes, yes!'

I don’t know if it’ll be days or months from now.

But I’ve got a solid backup plan now.

'Ah, everyone... everyone.........'

How much are VTubers going to help me?

Tears started streaming down my face uncontrollably.

I was like a device with only the low battery icon showing.

The only thing I could still use in this state was my transportation e-money, but it was useless in this situation.

Still, I never thought of throwing it away again.

I held it in both hands as if praying and crouched down.

How can I ever repay the VTubers for all they’ve done for me?

Can I ever repay my oshis.........

《That’s right... that’s right. I’m glad, really glad.》

The Secret Service woman said this while crying as we shared information.

I was surprised by her stronger-than-expected reaction.

《Well, it’s just that we’ve got one more backup plan to go home.》

《...I’m sorry, Iroha-chan. That’s not it, that’s not it.》

《Huh?》

《The truth is, it was all a lie.》

She spoke as if confessing a sin.

I tilted my head, not understanding what she meant.

《About the GPS... I said they’re watching us from over there, so we’d be fine, right?》

《Y-yes.》

《I... I actually don’t know. I don’t know if that’s even possible. I don’t have that knowledge.》

《Huh!?》

Then what?

So even though the satellite communication connected for a moment, it’s still unclear if help will come?

《Why would you lie about that?》

《That’s...》

I understood as I watched the Secret Service woman hesitate.

I see.

《It was for my sake, wasn’t it?》

The Secret Service woman quietly nodded.

It seems I’ve been making her carry a heavy burden.

This was all to keep me from going off on my own. To make me believe that if I waited in the village, help would eventually come.

《Thank you. And I’m sorry.》

《I should be the one apologizing.》

We’ll be fine now.

That’s what I thought, right at that moment.

'——Girrrllll! Runnnn!'

A scream like that came from outside.

At the same time, countless gunshots echoed through the forest――.
