Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World Chapter 276: [Marriage, Childbirth, Child-rearing]

After losing the test, I was summoned to the vacant classroom as promised.

Shitenno had so of his bandages removed and no longer looked like a mummy.

Was this the recovery power of youth?

But still.

"Shitenno, I heard you got first place in the test this ti. Amazing!"

I brought up the story I heard from the girls.

Honestly, I was truly surprised. After all, I even lost in the language section.

Although this test had many essays and wasn't necessarily determined solely by language abilities.

Just how much effort did Shitenno put into this test?

"So, what were we talking about? Oh, could it be you want to discuss yesterday's event livestream!? Oh, I get it! The 3D live was aweso, right!? But, today there's an after-talk session for that girl so I have to leave early."

"Totally off track!?"

"Then, how about this! The new ‘Hakotsuku' gacha that's about to be implented soon."

"Can't you think about sothing other than VTubers!?"

"Well, that's a tough one."

As we laughed, Shitenno suddenly took my hand.

With this sudden action, all I could do was widen my eyes.

"Listen well. Iroha, I…"

"—I want to be with you."

That's what Shitenno said.

I pondered for a bit and then responded, "Hmm."

"Which live is that?"

"No way!? That's not it! I'm saying I want you to be my ‘significant other'! I… I like you!"

"…Huh, whaaat!? I thought it was just a misunderstanding by the Secret Service agents!?

I thought for sure you didn't really like !

"Oh, haha… no, no. Because I don't want to reduce the ti I spend on my oshi."

I chuckled and tried to brush it off, attempting to leave.

But Shitenno firmly held onto my hand.

"Iroha, I'm serious. I want to know your genuine answer."

"Well, um, that is…"

"As a man, I love you, Iroha."

I was left speechless by his gaze.

To receive such feelings from soone of the opposite or sa sex? It was the first ti for .

"I once confessed to you in the past. At that ti, I was full of myself, and it was a one-sided confession. I challenged fate and got beaten up, and I realized…"

"Oh."

Finally, it dawned on .

Yes, Shitenno had confessed to back then. How could I forget until now?

"But now things are different. Didn't you set a condition that you want soone smarter than yourself if you were to date them?"

"Huh!? I didn't know anything about that."

"I know. If it's now, Iroha wouldn't set such a condition. It must have been so misunderstanding that turned into a rumor. But still, I've been studying with that in mind."

"…!"

"I genuinely like you, Iroha. Even if danger were to approach again, I will definitely protect you and everything important to you. I will make you happy without fail. So, please be with ."

"Um, well… I…"

I… I stumbled with my answer.

I've never seriously considered being with soone before.

Shitenno is brilliant. And he dares to put his body on the line to protect loved ones.

Moreover, I'm currently in a female body, so it's natural for to date a man.

"Iroha, I want you to think carefully."

I imagined.

Being with Shitenno, getting married, having children. Such a future.

Having a family is more important than VTubers, prioritizing them without realizing it.

Being busy with unfamiliar childcare, gradually watching fewer streams.

But not worrying about that, with endless smiles, no financial struggles, with cute and talented children.

Utterly happy.

And in that life, there was no place for Angu Ogu or Mai, Ah-nee, or Ilyena.

They beca like rarely-seen friends.

"Iroha!? Wh-what's wrong!?"

"Huh?"

Shitenno suddenly sounded panicked.

"Wonder what's wrong?" I wondered, touching my own cheeks and realizing.

"…Huh, huh?"

They were wet. Tears were streaming down my cheeks.

For so reason, imagining a future with Shitenno and a family made feel so lonely despite its happiness.

A gust of wind rushed in through the open window.

Sumr had ended imperceptibly, and the season had shifted to autumn. The wind was slightly chilly.

"Oh."

Suddenly, fear enveloped .

My mind was filled with thoughts of Angu Ogu.

What if we keep fighting like this forever?

Right now, he's just not speaking to . But gradually, physically and emotionally, he'll drift away, and then.

"Y-yeah."

"Iroha, do you… do you hate that much?"

"N-no, it's not like that! If I were to date soone, I'd want soone like Shitenno-kun!"

Even if I had 300 more years of life, I wouldn't encounter a man as charming as Shitenno.

But still.

"Oh, I see. I… I'm haha."

It felt like a weight had been lifted off .

Being jealous of Mai, entering into a secret relationship with Ah-nee, and being admired by Ilyena.

And then, fighting with Angu Ogu.

Amidst all these recent events, I felt like I had concluded within myself.
