Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World Chapter 426

Chapter 426. [Arica's Last Day]

When I turned around, a delinquent was standing there. My body instinctively tensed up in alarm.

《Pyehh!? W-w-what!? Did you co to get revenge on or sothing!?》

After that whole incident, he’d been taken away and suspended, but apparently, he’d been allowed back. I shielded my bag with my favorite rch and hissed at him like a cat.

《Iroha... Nyaaan— Wait, are you trying to act cute? W-well? Honestly, I don’t think I did anything wrong...》

《Aww, Iroha-chan’s so cute~! Are you imitating a kitty?》

《What the heck are you two even seeing right now!?》

Even though soone I’d once considered an enemy was right in front of , both Shiten’ou and the girls were acting weirdly carefree. Like, hello? I’m radiating hostility here, and nobody’s picking up on it...

《I-I won’t let you hurt my rch again!》

Well, last ti, it turned out to be a fake anyway.

Learning from that experience, I imdiately tried to call for help...

《It’s probably fine. As far as I know, he hasn’t done anything bad since that incident.》

《...I can’t believe that. And even if it’s true, that doesn’t an I can just forgive what he did in the past.》

《Iroha, that’s—》

《Enough!...... Stop. I didn’t co here for that crap anyway.》

While I’d been away from high school, it seed like a lot had happened between them. The way Shiten’ou was defending the delinquent, the delinquent’s attitude... It was all kinda surprising.

《Today, I just ca to give you this.》

《Huh, this is...!?》

What the delinquent held out was a plushie.

Don’t tell he...

《I really screwed up back then. I don’t expect you to forgive . So, this is just... closure. If you don’t want it, you can throw it away. I dunno if it’ll make up for that doll, but it’s from that ani......》

《—WROOOOONG!!!!Ugh!!!!》

《Wha!? The hell’s your problem, yelling all of a sudden!?》

The delinquent looked confused, taking a step back.

Beside him, Shiten’ou sighed. 《Ugh... here we go.》

I knew it!

I thought ‘maybe’—but this guy doesn’t understand VTubers AT ALL!

《No, no! Completely wrong! Listen up, okay?—VTubers aren’t ani characters!》

《Huh?.............. Aren’t they kinda the sa? I tried to get one that looked close.》

《I said! They’re! Not! The sa!!!》

I stomped toward him, closing the distance.

Any wariness I’d felt toward him earlier had completely vanished from my mind.

《Sure, VTuber rch is hard to find in Arica! But that’s no excuse for buying the wrong thing! How could you not tell the difference!?》

《...Oi, what the hell’s gotten into this guy? What’s he even talking about?》

The delinquent shot Shiten’ou a pleading look.

He just held his head in his hands, muttering, 《Here we go again...》 Again? What do you an, again?

《Well, if that’s how it is, I’ll just have to educate you! There are more places selling VTuber rch in Arica now! C’mon, let’s go! If you really wanna apologize, buy the right thing this ti!》

《............So, does this an I’m forgiven or what?》

《Hey, you! Don’t get the wrong idea! Iroha’s just like this with everyone!》

《Whatever...... Huh. So, guess I’m not that different from you after all.》

《Wha!? Oi, you!? Don’t tell you’re actually......!?》

《Welp, guess I got asked out on a date. See ya.》

《WRONG!? When did Iroha say it’d be just the two of you!? I’m coming too!》

《W-wait!? I wanna co too~!?》

And so, on the last afternoon of my high school life, I went out with friends from school for the first ti.

The four of us wandered around, gushed about our favorites, and in the end, he bought a plushie...

...though I couldn’t resist buying like ten more myself.

Then we went our separate ways.

Maybe soday, sowhere, our paths will cross again.

We’d already exchanged contact info.

And I’ve already learned that the world is vast... but also, surprisingly small—

Later, after finishing preparations for the move............

The house I’d grown so familiar with now stood empty, eerily quiet.

We sat side by side on the usual couch.

Cardboard boxes were stacked around the room.

Our life here ends today.

Her voice sounded like she was on the verge of tears.

《.........Tonight’s the last night we’ll spend together in this house.》

《......Yeah.》

I leaned my head against Angu Ogu’s shoulder.

She leaned back against in return.

Tomorrow, even this couch we’re sitting on will be carried out with the rest of our things.

She said she’s planning to move out of this apartnt entirely—nothing will remain.

《......Iroha, it’s ti for bed.》

《......Yeah.》

We’d already shared Arica’s last supper, taken a bath together, and now all that was left was to sleep.

But neither of us moved.

As if clinging to these final monts.

As if wishing this now could last just a little longer.

But we couldn’t stay like this forever.

Angu Ogu spoke up, resolute.

《Well then, Iroha...... it’s about ti.》

《...Yeah.》

Her gaze was fixed on the Advent calendar.

Only one door remained.

My heart ached with tension, my palms damp with sweat——.
