Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 394. [The True Identity Of The Watcher]

'So you remembered my face.'

The young man admitted to cooperating with the surveillance.

I denied his words with a "No."

'I was certain just now. Because you confessed.'

'...! It seems I fell right into your trap.'

At the time, I wasn't particularly paying attention.

So if the young man had kept his mouth shut here, I wouldn't have been able to confirm anything.

'But why did you suspect me? Can you tell me for reference?'

'What do you mean?'

'Her taking separate action was deliberate.'

The Secret Service woman also realized there was a collaborator among the locals.

That's why she tried to take all the locals with her.

She judged that it would be safer for me to be alone rather than with someone else.

Of course, it was also true that further movement would have been difficult.

'There's no way she would have sent you here.'

'I see.'

'But more than anything, this was the decisive factor... You looked not at my gaze or my finger itself, but at the place I was pointing. Without hesitation.'

Even though I shifted my gaze and finger and shouted, 'There's a snake!'

In other words, the young man understood that gesture.

'That was a blind spot. I never thought of it.'

'As I thought. You...'

《―――You understand English, don't you?》

《Just a little.》

The young man answered my question in English.

Just like when I asked Mama-san, "What's this?"—or rather, the exact opposite.

Different languages mean different gestures.

The fact that it got through to him was a hint that he understood the language.

《I've always wondered. If there was a collaborator, how did they communicate with the person who wanted to surveil us? Cooperation shouldn't be possible without a common language.》

To confirm that, I deliberately shouted in English earlier.

Thanks to that, a lot of things made sense now.

《I can't hide it anymore. I learned English from a 'good person.'》

From the field linguist who came here, huh?

That person was the type to venture deep into the jungle to study languages.

If a local had asked, "Can you teach me your language too?" he would have eagerly obliged.

I'd do the same if someone said they were interested in VTubers. Totally get it.

《But why cooperate?》

《............That's》

As the young man hesitated, a rustling sound came from behind. Turning around, I saw a woman standing there, dressed in tattered clothes.

《Let me explain the rest.》

《!?》

The young man looked at the woman in surprise.

She clearly wasn't a local.

I didn't remember her face.

But there was only one unfamiliar woman among them.

《So it was you............》

《─The flight attendant.》

《......Long time no see, Miss Iroha.》

That woman was one of the passengers on the private jet.

She looked utterly exhausted.

Had she been surviving alone in the forest all this time?

Even with collaborators, there wouldn't have been a moment of peace.

I know that suffering all too well... but.

A mix of emotions welled up, and my voice trembled.

《Why did you do this!? Because of you, I...! We...! I can't forgive this, I'll never forgive you!》

《Children don't need to know.》

The flight attendant's expression seemed to mock herself as she smiled faintly.

It also looked like she was on the verge of tears.

"~~~~!"

My blood boiled.

Don't act like you're the victim after all this! Don't wrap this up on your own!

《Who tried to kill that child!? First of all—I'm not a child!》

For some reason, those words seemed to hurt her.

Then she muttered softly.

《You're right. I'm sorry, I take back what I said. What you've done in this jungle is not something to be treated as a child's doing.》

《You...!》

That implied, "I saw everything."

Even when I was suffering, even when the Secret Service woman was dying... she just watched.

《You asked why I did this. I'm a soldier. That's all the explanation there is.》

《That's...》

In other words, it was an order.

The flight attendant... no, all the crew on that plane were part of the U.S. military.

The only person who could give her orders, had a grudge against me, or stood to gain from my death was the rival of the current president, Ango Og's mother.

《Even so, you could have died too.》

《That was the plan. In fact, surviving was... what kind of karma was that?》

《...There were so many other ways.》

《Hehe. That doesn't sound like something a Japanese person who glorifies 'kamikaze' as sacred would say.》

《Times change, and so do people. Hearts—and words.》

It's been a long time since 'KAMIKAZE' became a global term for 'suicide attack'.

I remembered what happened before we left.

Back then, a suspicious person had entered the runway, causing a commotion.

Maybe she had tampered with something back then.

《What about the pilot and co-pilot?》

《I don't know. I was in the rear of the plane, just like you.》

The cockpit still hasn't been found.

I dragged them into this. Because of me, they...

"......"

I couldn't breathe.

The ringing in my ears was unbearable.

I wanted to cry and turn away from everything.

But the flight attendant continued, "However."

《The fact that all three of us survived can't be a coincidence. They were truly skilled pilots. Surely...》

Now that she mentioned it, it made sense.

Even I, the weakest, survived.

So maybe there's a chance everyone survived?

No, that was the more natural conclusion...
