Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 402. [The Night Before The Show]

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

And the night before the big day, the recording was...

—it wasn’t finished.

《Iroha-san, is it difficult?》

《I’m fi— cough cough》

A dry cough stopped me from speaking properly.

Seeing my state, the directors exchanged looks and shook their heads.

《Iroha-san, let’s stop here. Any more strain on your throat will affect tomorrow’s performance.》

《There’s no other choice. We’ll have to do those live tomorrow, no rehearsal.》

《!?》

《Fortunately, the remaining ones are chorus songs, so we think it can be managed. We anticipated this possibility and prepared accordingly… It’ll be fine.》

《I see...》

《So, get plenty of rest for tomorrow.》

With that, we were escorted to accommodations near the live venue.

Since yesterday, it hadn’t just been a recording studio but also a rehearsal at the actual live venue (to be precise… since we’re VTubers, the filming area behind it).

My role isn’t just singing and dancing.

I’m also the host.

For major languages, others take on the role, but this is an international live event.

With VTubers intentionally invited from many countries, my responsibilities naturally increased.

“The rehearsal dragged on, and we didn’t even finish recording… Can I really do a live performance without practice? Ahh, I can only see myself failing…”

《—It’ll be fine, Iroha.》

As I groaned in bed, someone tightly grasped my hand.

Looking up, half in tears, I saw Angu Ogu sitting at the bedside.

She wiped my tears with her fingertips and smiled gently.

Then, with practiced ease, she intertwined her fingers with mine.

“Mm…!”

My body flinched at the sensation, my shoulders jerking up.

My heartbeat quickened, and my face grew hot.

Her warmth spread from our joined hands and fingertips.

My head started feeling light…

《Because—the only songs left are chorus songs! The staff even said so, right? You’ll be fine! There’s no dancing, so clumsy Iroha won’t trip!》

《Wait, they were worried about me at that level!?》

I collapsed onto the bed.

Not even “You won’t trip,” but just “Less likely to”!?

I pulled my hand away from Angu Ogu’s grip and buried my face in my pillow with a huff.

Damn it, return the serious mood—! …Not that I had any particular feelings or anything!

《Ahh, Iroha’s hand—! I was holding it so nicely!》

《Shut up, idiot.》

《Then, Iroha, instead… chuu~—mmgh!?》

《Wh-wh-wh-what the hell, you perv-Ogu!? What were you trying to do!?》

I smacked the approaching Angu Ogu with my pillow at full force.

Even at full power, the sound was just a soft pof, so the damage was minimal.

It’s not because I held back, nor because I’m weak—

It’s only because I was exhausted from rehearsal and recording!

《Ehh, why not, Iroha? I mean, we’ve already done it once before.》

《Wha—wha—!? That wasn’t like that!!》

《And you were the one who did it.》

《I TOLD YOU IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, YOU IDIOT!》

I swung my pillow, hitting Angu Ogu repeatedly with soft pof pof sounds.

She just laughed, “Fwahaha, that doesn’t hurt at all~.”

Yesterday’s incident really wasn’t what she’s making it sound like!

I didn’t do it on purpose—it was a complete accident…

《Well, either way, tomorrow the whole world will see it in the live broadcast!》

《Awaaah!?》

I curled up, holding my head.

Why, of all times, did that accident have to happen during the live recording…!?

《And because of that, everyone afterwards… uuu~!?》

BANG!

As if summoned, Mai burst into the room.

“Iroha-chan, are you okay!? Are you safe!? Did Ogu do anything weird to you!?”

“Ah, Mai—wait, whoa!? CLOTHES! Why are you naked!? Put something on first!!”

Her, um, recently developed chest bounced wildly!

Totally different from mine—wait, NO, NOT THE POINT!

I desperately turned my gaze away.

“Phew~ That was close~! I managed to get out of the bath before Ogu’s evil clutches reached Iroha-chan~. Now then, Iroha-chan, excuse me while I join you in bed~.”

“You’re the evil one here!!”

“M-m-m-Mai-san!? Ah! You were here! I thought you left the bath quickly, but what exactly are you planning!? Please go back!”

Hearing the commotion, even Ilyena ran into the room.

In her rush to stop Mai, she had only wrapped a towel around her waist…

Her damp silver hair clung to her slightly flushed, fair skin.

This… feels like I’m seeing something forbidden.

No, I am seeing something forbidden!

“Ahh, that was a great bath! I feel refreshed!”

Then, Ah-nee—completely naked—casually walked in, hands on her hips, drinking a post-bath refreshment.

She took her time walking over, meaning she had time to put on clothes!

“Why are you naked too!?”

“Because—I’m your big sister!”

“…I regret asking.”

As dumb as she is, Ah-nee does move around a lot, so her body is pretty toned.

I found myself almost staring at her figure…

Ugh, what’s wrong with me!?

Ever since coming back from the Amazon, something’s been off!

I should only be interested in VTubers.

…No, I am still the same with everyone else.

But for some reason, only when it comes to these girls—I can’t stop thinking about them!
