Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World Chapter 359

Chapter 359. [Easing The Pain Of Those Who Speak Ill Of Others]

The next threat that bared its fangs at us was the rain, which should have been a blessing.

Dehydration had subsided. But...

"Ha... ha... the rain won't stop."

I was covered in mud, breathing heavily.

I knew it as a fact. But I never imagined the tropical rain would be like this!

It was as though God had tipped over a bucket from the sky; in no ti at all, the ground turned into a swamp and lake.

I tried to move the Secret Service woman...

"No, no! I can't carry her anymore!"

Having not eaten, I was too weak... or maybe I just didn’t have enough strength.

I could barely lift her to the base of a tree.

The water level slowly rose.

I tried to keep her from getting wet, but it was impossible not to get myself soaked and drenched by the rain.

"The rain is cold... it's freezing."

Even in the humid tropical rainforest, the air above is another matter.

It’s the sa logic as mountain peaks being covered in snow. The higher up you go, the colder it gets.

I never imagined my elentary school science knowledge would be put to the test in such a way.

Gradually, my body temperature began to drop.

"If only I had sothing to wear..."

But the jacket I had been wearing had been used to stop the bleeding of the Secret Service woman. It was supposed to be a one-day trip, so I hadn’t packed any spare clothes...

"Ah! My bag!"

I realized and quickly stepped into the water, splashing as I went.

I retrieved the bag, but it was too late.

"I ssed up."

It had completely subrged.

There hadn’t been much in it to begin with, but now it was all a muddy, useless ss.

And because I went after the bag, I was soaked to the bone.

I returned to the original spot, filled with regret.

"How long will this rain last? It’s supposed to be a downpour, so it should stop soon, right?"

That’s when I realized.

It hadn’t rained at all for the past few days in this rainforest.

"I’ve got a bad feeling about this."

The sun was gradually setting.

Another terrifying night was approaching...

***

The sound of the rain pouring down relentlessly for hours was driving mad.

The rain still hadn’t stopped.

"Ah... it’s cold!"

With nightfall, the temperature had dropped even further. Hugging myself didn’t help at all.

The shivering wouldn’t stop.

My lips were probably turning blue by now.

"...Ogu."

I missed the body warmth of my companion, Ogu, who I always slept beside.

And...

"I'm so tired."

The rain was draining not only my body heat but also my strength.

Trying to stay dry forced into uncomfortable positions, making rest impossible.

"I can't take it anymore."

Even after drinking water, my throat felt dry and all I could do was mumble weakly.

The rain continued through the night...

***

By morning, the rain had finally stopped.

It had truly been a horrible night.

Even the wildlife, which we had seen every day, hadn’t shown up last night.

And, of course, my fragile body couldn’t withstand the intense rain and cold.

"Ugh, ughhh!"

I vomited up what little was left in my stomach.

There hadn’t been any food in it, so all that ca out was water.

"Ha... ha... cold, my stomach hurts."

Although the rain had stopped, my body still wouldn’t stop shaking.

I was clearly getting sick.

It was hard to tell if it was from the drop in body temperature or from drinking so much rainwater.

I didn’t know the exact cause, but in any case, I needed to warm up. But...

"It’s all wet... this too! And this!"

I knew in my head what the problem was, but reality was too difficult to change.

I tried to start a fire, but everything was wet, and not a single dry twig was to be found.

Even if I did find so, with my physical strength and energy, I didn’t believe I could start a fire.

Maybe all it would do was give false hope, wasting even more of my energy.

"Ugh. It hurts, I’m exhausted, I feel sick... Shit." 《Shit.》 [Shit.]

I cursed in various languages.

It felt like the pain was slightly eased by it.

No, it wasn’t just in my head... It actually helped, didn’t it?

I rembered a study that had won an Ig Nobel prize.

There’s a special power in swearing.

Even people with Alzheir's or aphasia can speak fluently when they curse. It’s linked not only to the language center but also to the amygdala... sothing like that.

Such powerful words. Powerful force.

That’s why you shouldn’t use them against others. But...

《Anpontan》 [Otankonasu]

In situations like this, it was fine.

Sotis, poison can turn into dicine. It can act as pain relief.

Just like with guns—it's all about how you use them.

But, it didn’t solve the fundantal problem...

***

My condition didn’t improve no matter how much ti passed.

There were two reasons for this. One was not being able to warm up, and the other was...

"...I’m so hungry."

I was starving.

It felt like there was no energy left in my body to heal from all this discomfort.

Thanks to the dehydration being resolved, my hunger had beco even more pronounced.

Gradually, all I could think about was food.

"Ogu and I had gyudon, crispy plums, hamburgers, steaks. The olet rice and parfait we ate at the collaboration café. And... the miso soup my mom made."

My consciousness started to fade.

In my mind, I kept replaying the drinking streams and cooking streams of my favorite creators.

The rain, the cold, the injuries, the illness, the dehydration, and the hunger.

The natural threats ca at one after another.

They didn’t show any rcy. They were equally cruel.

And then, at that mont...

"!?"

I felt a strange unease.

I quickly sat up, turning around.

I wasn’t being careless.

But, what!?

"Why!? It’s not even night yet!"

Wild animals were standing there, staring directly at ...
