Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World Chapter 129: [Excuse Me]
I received a phone call from Angu Ogu's mom.
I was communicating with Anguog as the interpreter.
[Thank you again, Iroha-san. Thanks to you, we averted the world war.]
"Oh, no, it's not just . It's thanks to the VTubers and the fans too."
She thanked again.
Then we quickly got to the main topic.
[So, Iroha-san, about what happened after you collapsed.]
She said they safely retrieved the nuclear weapons, or the launches were voluntarily get canceled. We restored world peace.
[But, well, it's not that simple.]
"What do you an?"
[We can't be sure if all the nuclear weapons were recovered. It's the devil's proof. And the sparks of war haven't disappeared either.]
"…! Right, I see."
[The end of war isn't as neat as an ending in a story.]
I hadn't thought about it.
I had thought everything gets resolved.
[I'm sorry for saying sothing scary. Thanks to you, the whole world is in a self-restraint mode now, so I think we'll be fine for a while.]
"For a while?"
[Yes, for a while..]
I suppose there's no true end to war, after all.
People said peace is a period of preparation between wars.
[Take Ukraine, for example, which was at the center of this incident. That country is going to have a tough ti from now on.]
"Even though the war is over?"
[Because the war is over, that's why. The worsening situation, the destroyed land, and the lost lives won't be coming back. Plus, it'll take ti for the evacuees to return.]
If I were one of the evacuees, I would want to return only after ensuring safety.
But in this situation, it's uncertain when that will be possible.
[With the war over, support from others will get cut off too. They've lost Cria, the warm-water port. Even though there will be reparations from Russia, it's going to be a very tough ti economically.]
"I see."
[There's more. For now, things are okay, but Ukraine might beco a new source of conflict. For example, it might transform into a nation of arms dealers.]
"What do you an?"
[They might start making copies of the weapons that were provided to them and engage in arms trading since the country is struggling. It's just one possibility, of course.]
"Can't anything be done to prevent that?"
[We'll do what we can. But it's all under the premise that it's in our country's interest and for the sake of our citizens. After this incident, it's unlikely that Ukraine's NATO entry will be approved anyti soon.]
"But that's just for now, right? If you beco the president…"
[No. Even if I beco the president, I probably won't approve it either.]
"Are you just going to abandon them!?"
I couldn't help but raise my voice.
Angu Ogu, who was translating for , looked at worriedly.
I know. It's not her fault.
But I couldn't contain my emotions.
In that case, it would an NATO had used Ukraine as a disposable tool to weaken Russia.
[I'm an adult. Of course, if my position changes, my priorities will change, and I'll use different language. So, I should say what I want to say while I still can. Both I and… you.]
I see, she's doing this on purpose…
I realized that Angu Ogu's mom deliberately chose cold words.
Because if she becos the president, she won't be able to speak freely like she can now.
And honestly, speaking one's mind is a privilege for children.
"Can I confirm sothing? Was today's phone call to give a status report?"
[Ah, speaking of which… I still haven't thanked you properly, have I? The hero who saved the world?]
"Then, can I ask you for one favor?"
[Of course. It's a child's privilege to be a little selfish, you know.]
"Well then…"

"Are you serious, Iroha-chan? Walking ho alone?"
"Yeah. I feel like taking a little walk."
Today is the day I'm discharged from the hospital.
After being seen off by the nurses, I stopped in front of a taxi.
"Are you… okay?"
"Yeah, my condition is perfect now."
"Not that… Ugh! I know that Japan is safe for girls to walk alone, but still, I'm getting all anxious!"
"Haha. It's a main street, and it's still dayti. You worry too much."
I shrugged my shoulders and chuckled at the 2 who seed worried.
Then, I said to my slightly upset mother.
"It's okay, Mom. If anything happens, I'll call right away."
"I'm not worried about you! I'm just exasperated by your lack of common sense."
"Sorry, sorry. The traffic is getting congested, so I'll go now."
"Sigh… Driver, please go."
"Iroha-chan, co back soon, okay?"
"Iroha, make sure to co back!"
The door closed, and the taxi drove away.
I waved "bye-bye" to the three as they left.
"Mmm!"
I stretched tall and then started walking slowly.
Co to think of it. It's been a while since I've been alone like this.
Before I knew it, winter approached its end.
With spring's arrival, the bird's sounds and insects chirping, and the rustling of branches and leaves were playing a lody.
Now, they sound like just environntal noises to .
However, they're not bad.
I find them soothing to my ears.
Co to think of it. It's been who-knows-how-many years since I enjoyed these sounds like this, even including my past life.
It's similar to war in that sense.
It's always there, but unless I focus my attention. I can't notice it in the depths of your "unconsciousness".
"But in the end, well, that's different from this! I'll still listen to VTubers' songs!"
As if making an excuse to soone, I said aloud and took out my smartphone.
At that mont, soone spoke from behind.
The footsteps of a new era had co close by.
