Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World Chapter 380
Chapter 380. [A Life-Threatening Dialogue]
I took a step forward, moving closer to the jaguars.
Had they been living like this ever since I shot one of them?
If so, they probably haven’t been able to catch much food.
That would explain their thin appearance.
‘You ntioned earlier that the catch was too big, right?’
I asked the local man.
He stared at wide-eyed, as if to say, “Are you serious?”
‘What are you thinking?’
‘Could I take so of the extra fish? I want to give it to them.’
‘You’ll be eaten alive!’
‘I’ll be fine. Besides, you taught this, didn’t you? That humans and animals are “equal”. What we don’t need belongs to nature—that ans this is theirs.’
If we caught too much, we could just save it for the next al.
But that’s not sothing we need “right now”.
As I’ve said before, the people here don’t hunt more than they need.
And this ti will be no different.
I’m not giving special treatnt to the jaguars.
It’s just that, when it cos to “our tomorrow” versus “their now,” I believe “now” should take priority.
‘But they won’t understand that.’
‘No, they’ll understand. I’ll make sure they do.’
‘That’s absurd… Wait, no, maybe you could… but still.’
The local man seed to recall the ti I had lured the monkeys with my voice.
He showed a hint of hesitation.
Strangely, I didn’t hold a grudge against the jaguars for attacking and nearly killing .
Of course, I was scared.
But I understand now.
They’re just trying to survive in this forest, the sa as .
When I hunted the monkeys earlier, it was no different.
There’s no distinction between us.
‘Please.’
‘...’
Reluctantly, the local man handed so fish.
Holding it in my arms, I told him,
‘Then please step back for now. If I fail, I don’t want you getting caught up in it.’
‘You…! Haaaah.’
The man let out a deep sigh.
No, it was more like he was steeling himself.
‘Alright. I’ll stay with you.’
‘R-Really?!’
‘But on one condition. Never step beyond the range of my spear. And—if it cos down to it, escape on your own while they’re eating .’
‘What?! I can’t possibly—’
‘You will. Understood?’
His piercing gaze left speechless.
With both our lives on the line, I turned to face the jaguars.
Step by step, I approached them.
When the jaguars seed to reach the limit of their patience, they tensed, ready to pounce...
“—Wait!”
I shouted.
I desperately communicated in their language that I ant no harm.
“Wait. Wait.”
The cubs, confused, froze in place.
Then the mother jaguar sniffed the air.
“You are…”
She growled.
She must have realized I was the one from before.
Please, don’t attack just yet.
Praying silently, I carefully set the fish down and spoke to them.
“Here. Eat.”
Even the mother jaguar seed bewildered by my gesture.
They didn’t move.
Were they hesitating because I was still too close?
I backed away and repeated,
“Eat.”
The cubs looked to their mother, seeking her judgnt.
After a mont of watching and the fish, she slowly rose.
Perhaps her injury pained her, as she moved cautiously. She approached the fish, sniffed it thoroughly...
Then—snap! She bit into it.
The cubs followed suit, scrambling eagerly to get their share.
Watching them devour the fish, I exhaled deeply.
“Th-Thank goodness! They trusted !”
‘I can’t believe this is really happening…!’
The local man stared at the scene, switching his gaze between the jaguars and in disbelief. After a mont of stunned silence, he snapped out of it and pushed forward.
‘Let’s go, girl.’
‘Right.’
For now, they were busy eating the fish, but once they finished, we might beco their next target.
The man didn’t voice such an ominous thought.
Or perhaps he felt, like I did, that the jaguars wouldn’t attack us anymore.
As we were leaving, the mother jaguar glanced at one last ti.
There was no gesture of gratitude.
She simply returned to her al.
But that was fine.
In their language, there was no word for “thank you”.
“Goodbye.”
I whispered softly.
Next ti we et, they might see as just prey.
But even if they devour without hesitation...
In this mont, I felt no doubt about my actions.
‘Thank you.’
I expressed my gratitude to the local man for joining in this life-threatening dialogue.
He replied in a slightly trembling voice,
‘No, thank you. You showed sothing incredible… Truly amazing.’
‘Not at all.’
‘Could it be... you’re a ssenger of the gods?’
‘Haha. If I were, I’d have flown away by now.’
With such lighthearted banter, we returned to the village.
And then… for the first ti, I butchered at with my own hands.
The monkey I had hunted myself.
I cried many tis during the process. I felt like throwing up. But I saw it through to the end.
The taste of at I had prepared myself was, strangely, a little salty.
***
A few days later, I learned sothing.
Goodbyes with loved ones always co suddenly.
