Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 433. [The Author of the Voynich Manuscript]

‘Graduation Certificate――’

I was called by name and stepped onto the gymnasium stage.

Receiving the diploma from the principal.

Even though it's a combined junior-senior high, we still properly hold graduation ceremonies at each milestone.

I thought no one would cry since we're just moving up like an escalator system... but some students are moving to other schools after this, and sniffles can be heard from all around.

"......Mom."

Turning around on stage, I saw my mother in the parents' seating area, tears streaming down her face. Oh right... There was a chance she might not have been able to see this sight.

Her daughter never returning from that plane crash, left all alone.

This is already my second middle school graduation that I remember.

So I thought I wouldn't feel anything about it......

Yet I was desperately holding back sobs.

Then we all sang the school anthem with tearful voices——.

***

After the graduation ceremony, I gathered with classmates in our classroom.

Signing yearbooks, taking photos together......

They all really helped me so much.

Even during that incident, they assisted greatly with translations and such.

As I was thinking this, one of the female students asked me:

"Iroha-chan, I've actually been wanting to ask this for a while...... What ever happened with that momcon!?"

"Momcon?"

"You know, the former Four Heavenly King...."

"Ahー, Shitenno-kun?"

"Yeah yeah! I was curious about him too! That guy chased after Iroha all the way to America! And then he extended his study abroad and didn't even come back for graduation... geez."

"Let's post the photos in the SNS group for him later. He'd appreciate that, right?"

"So I've been wondering... did anything develop between you two over there!?"

"Hmm~................"

Shitenno, huh - I let out a small nostalgic smile.

But to my classmates, it must have looked like a meaningful smirk...

"Whoaa!? So something did happen!?"

"No way!? Re-re-really!? Our Iroha-chan!?"

"No no! Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Besides...... Shitenno isn't a VTuber!."

"""Ah, thank goodness. It's the usual Iroha-chan."""

What do you mean "usual"? What's "usual"?

I'm a bit concerned about how everyone views me... but whatever.

"S-so you're single now right!? By the way, unlike that guy, I've debuted as a VTuber! My name is——."

"Ah, absolutely do NOT tell me!? There's no person behind the avatar!? I don't want to know that information!?"

"...Huh? Wait, does this mean there's literally no way to approach her? Like, it has to be a VTuber, but you can't reveal anything about the VTuber...."

"You just realized that now...?"

"Ah, by the way I started VTubing too!."

"Me tooー!."

"We're working as a group!."

"~~~~! Re-re-really!? Everyone~!?"

That might have been the happiest news of all.

The world is definitely changing——.

***

After those exchanges, we disbanded.

Leaving the classroom, I walked down the hall holding my diploma... and knocked on a door.

《Come in.》

《Pardon me.》

《I've been waiting, Iroha!》

Entering the English preparation room, the teacher greeted me.

Then I noticed another man sitting on what was probably a reception sofa.

《Iroha, let me introduce you. This is the American university professor I wanted you to meet...》

《Hey, Irohaー long time no see.》

《......Eh?》

My mouth froze mid-way to saying "Nice to meet you." I stared intently but couldn't recall him at all.

Meaning... he's not someone from my VTuber connections!

In other words, not particularly important!

《Wowー it really has been foreverー how have you beenー》

《...Yeah. You've forgotten me, haven't you?》

Instant busted.

But even being told that, I genuinely don't remember.

He's supposedly an American university professor, but he doesn't look American.

I've interacted with all sorts of people internationally, but...

I don't think his features match any ethnicity I've encountered before.

If I had to say, maybe European...?

《Honestly, how typical. '○△◇×, ☆▽"》

《Excuse me?》

He suddenly addressed me in an unknown language.

I was genuinely shocked. Having mastered numerous languages, I rarely encounter unknown ones anymore.

Though that's just within Japan and America - there are still countless unlearned languages in the world.

《□□×, ▽△O――》

《Um, professor? I can't understand what you're saying, but does Iroha follow?》

《Sorry, I don't understa... no, wait a moment.》

I focused.

Something about it tugged at my memory.

It's definitely a language I'm hearing for the first time.

My ‘Language Cheat Ability’ confirms that.

Yet somehow I know this language......?

Where from?

My ability began operating at full capacity with that realization.

And then......

――"Did you enjoy the Voynich Manuscript?"――

《!?!?!?》

In that instant, everything clicked into place like puzzle pieces and I suddenly understood the language.

No way........ That's impossible, yet unmistakable.

That's a language that should have been lost.

What he was speaking······

――was the language used to write the Voynich Manuscript.
