Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 419. [Last Encore]

—I could hear the voices of people all over the world.

Right now, the world had become one.

It was a strange feeling.

What in the world is this......?

It was as if my very existence was melting into the world.

"Are those......wings?"

《I can see angel wings on Iroha-chan's back》

<What amazing staging............>

But this wasn’t something we practiced or rehearsed.

This was no surprise performance.

This was......

—Ah, I see. My dream came true, so.........

A sense of understanding washed over my entire body.

Because it came true—that’s why it’s already—over.

Countless shining feathers fluttered down onto the stage............and slowly, the music came to an end.

I no longer felt any exhaustion, or anything at all.

Even though my body had been so frail, now it was......

Being freed from the concepts of the mundane world.

In the middle of the darkened stage, only my figure remained illuminated.

Suddenly, I heard cheers rising in the distance.

『—Look! Right now...the presidents of Ukraine and Russia are shaking hands firmly before our eyes! The war is over”! The war has been averted!』

From somewhere, the voice of what must have been an announcer reached me.

She continued.

『On the monitor behind them—is that the live footage of a Virtual MyTuber?...No mistake, it’s the stream of the “VTuber International Live”!』

At one point, people had even wondered, “Will the war resume?”

But it seemed that future had been avoided.

Somehow—the world seemed to have been saved.

This live stream was free, available for anyone to watch.

Only now did I understand the meaning of that.

With this, I’ve also fulfilled my promise to Angu Ogu’s mother.

And it also means my role has come to an end.

Eventually, the light shining on me slowly began to fade.

The stage plunged into complete darkness......

《Iroha......?》

"Iroha-chan............?"

<Iroha-sama.........?>

Angu Ogu, A-nee, and Ilyena were all looking at me from the same stage.

Their eyes wavered, as if sensing something.

In the dark, silent world, the sound of an "Encore" echoed.

But for me, this is as far as it goes.

"I......was glad to meet all of you."

A dream that had once been crushed...even if the direction was reversed, it came true......

Soon, I will become "eternal."

Forever and ever......

I’ll become a presence watching over them from the sky.

"Maybe there really is a God."

It wasn’t exactly how I imagined, but they granted every one of my wishes. If possible, I hope I can still send super chats from heaven...... That’s what I thought.

I slowly closed my eyes.

A faint, almost pained sound escaped Angu Ogu and the others.

But they couldn’t move.

Because the destined "Encore" was there.

The darkness would lift soon.

If they moved now, the transition with the pre-recorded footage would be ruined.

They were professionals.

Precisely because they were top-tier talents chosen for this stage, none of them could move.

"Everyone, thank you for everything. And then......"

"—Goodbye."

I fully closed my eyes.

The sensation in my body faded. I surrendered to the feeling of floating.

Soon, I would be freed from the anchor of my physical form and transform into something else.

From somewhere, the sound of a bell rang out......

"—Iroha-chan!"

On my lips......there was a warm, soft sensation.

Startled, my eyes flew open.

Rapidly—color, sound, sensation returned to the world.

Before my eyes was......

—Mai.

She slowly pulled her lips away.

Her eyes stared straight at me.

"Iroha-chan belongs to Mai, y’know~! Not to God! Not to the world!...I’m never, ever giving you up~!"

At the edge of my vision, I saw staff rushing in to drag Mai away.

In an instant, she was pulled back.

《Who is this kid!?》

《Where did she even come from!?》

《You can’t just barge in like that!?》

I could hear those conversations happening.

.........So that’s how it is, I realized.

On this stage—within the filming area, she alone wasn’t a VTuber.

She alone had always been...

—A being of pure reality.

That’s why the audience couldn’t see her.

Not wearing a motion-capture suit, she was like an invisible person.

And yet, she wasn’t staff, who had been drilled never to touch the "sacred space."

That’s why she could move.

—There might come a time when Mai’s power is needed.

That had just been an excuse.

But she......really saved me.

"......Ah."

I touched my lips, still warm......

I could tell my face had turned bright red.

What is this, it’s hot......!

No, I mean, I’m burning up......!

My whole body felt like it was boiling.

I could feel sweat gushing inside my suit, making everything stuffy.

A strong sense of discomfort hit me.

Just moments ago......no, from now on, I shouldn’t have been able to feel this.

......I used to think being a VTuber was all I needed.

But......still......

"Angu Ogu, A-nee, Ilyena-chan......Mai...... And Mom too......... "

A new reluctance had taken root inside me.

I’d grown attached to reality.

《Lights up! Hurry! 3 seconds! 2...1...》

And just like that, my consciousness "returned" to the stage.

Softly, I whispered in my heart.

—Thank you, Mai.

The sound of "Encore" echoing through the venue.

It stopped abruptly, and the world fell silent once more.

Then the music began again.

It was the song that had once saved the world from war—
