Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 412. [Otaku Activities! Penlights Are Standard Equipment]

The VTuber international concert.

The opening act was a duet between me and Angu Ogu.

《So, that was Last in Peace by me—Angu Ogu and Translation Girl Iroha! How was it, you guys!? Freakin’ amazing, right!?》

The venue and comments roared back with "Woooooh!!"

But mixed in those voices and words was an excitement beyond just "the song was good."

《Hm? Hey, Iroha… you okay? Your face is bright red.》

As Angu Ogu spoke, Translation Girl Iroha’s face flushed crimson.

The staff was helping operate the model—switching expressions to summon my blushing face.

《I-I-It’s nothing!?》

《C’mon, you’re just flustered ‘cause we kissed earlier, right~?》

《Whaaa!?》

Angu Ogu grinned and tossed in that ad-lib.

Y-You…!?

But I was the one who froze and missed my scripted lines. I couldn’t even blame her.

She covered for my mistake—this was where her experience really showed.

And that "earlier kiss" line? Brilliant wording.

It seamlessly implied two things—to me, the kiss just now, and to the audience, the onstage accident during the concert.

≫So it wasn’t a mistake after all! Yuri is real!!

≫Agh, my nose’s bleeding (U.K.)

≫Hell yeah, more!! (Korean)

《They’re sayin’ stuff, Iroha.》

《L-Like I’d do that in front of everyone!?》

《So it’s fine if we’re alone?》

《Ghk—!? T-T-That’s not what I—!?》

《Welp, as much as I’d love to tease Iroha forever, we’re runnin’ outta time.》

《Ah…》

Angu Ogu cut off the conversation before it could spiral, steering things forward.

This kind of conversational control was essential for hosting.

It went completely off-script, but…

Thanks to her, the timing was perfect.

《Alrighty, I’m outta here for now! Got more songs to sing later… plus, I’ll be back to co-host! Iroha, hold the fort ‘til then!》

《Y-Yeah…! Thanks, Ogu!》

《Ooh-rah! Later, everyone—Rest. In. Peeeeace!》

≫Rest in peace! (U.S.)

≫Ogu, you were awesome! (Ukrainian)

≫Can’t wait for more! (Italian)

With Angu Ogu gone, I was alone on stage.

But there was no time to feel nervous or lonely—the next song was starting.

Another VTuber stepped onto the stage as her replacement.

《Alright, next up is…》

As I announced the song title, the stage plunged into darkness again—

***

"Phew… I’m wiped…"

"Good work, Iroha-chaaan~"

Staggering into the greenroom, I flopped face-first onto the floor.

Mai wiped my sweat with a towel, then went "Haaah, haaah…"—

"W-Wait, hey!? W-What are you—!?"

"Ack!? Stole it!? That was Iroha-chan’s precious sweat scent~!"

"It’s just gross sweat!?"

I snatched the towel back, clutching it to my chest in refusal.

My face burned red all the way to my neck from embarrassment.

"We’ve got a break now, right? You’ve been on nonstop so far."

The monitor in the room showed the stage—Angu Ogu, now hosting, bantering with the next VTuber.

"Still, Iroha-chan, you’re seriously impressive. You just kept chatting with all those VTubers from different countries like it was nothing~."

Yeah, after the duet, VTubers from around the world took turns performing.

Time constraints meant most were group performances of popular songs, but…

On the flip side—some units had members from Germany, Italy, China, Korea, etc.

Amid the storm of languages, I had to translate and keep conversations flowing.

The audience seemed to love the spectacle, but I worried I’d overshadowed the performers themselves. As a fan, that… stung a bit.

But hey, sponsor (read: national) interests were at play. Can’t be helped.

"Still… ugh. I met so many of my oshis face-to-face today…"

I slumped into a crouch, defeated.

How many fan boundaries had I crossed in just one day…?

"Honestly, I wish I could’ve watched this concert from the audience too~!"

"You kinda did during the talk segments! When you turned your back to the stage and just… started being a fan. I was like, What’s happening!?"

"That was scripted, though."

"90% genuine, though~?"

"Guh!?"

"I know you too well, Iroha-chan~!"

Of course Mai saw through me—she knows me better than I do.

She pressed further.

"Also, Iroha-chan… you got way too hyped every time a new VTuber came onstage. You weren’t hosting—you were just fanboying."

"B-B-Because!? My oshis were right there!? What else was I supposed to do!?"

"Well, the audience and commenters loved it, so it’s fine~."

"Grrr…"

No rebuttal.

But—putting that aside—

As I chatted with Mai, I got ready.

Penlights in both hands, event logo towel around my neck…

It’s time. It’s happening…!

The monitor darkened, and music began.

"KYAAAAH! YOU’RE ALL SO CUTE!!"

I swung my penlights wildly, hyperventilating with excitement.

That’s right—now that I’m off hosting duty… I’m free!

For the first time in months, I can fully indulge in my VTuber otaku time!
