Loli Vtuber 127

Chapter 127. [The New Era Of VTubers]

"I have a backlog of streams I want to watch, oooooohhhhhhhh!!!!"

That's why I'm taking a break from VTuber activities!

...Huh? Do you think it's tough on the fans?

Shut up!

I'm the one who's suffering here!

Everything has its priorities!

For now, I'll spend my days just consuming archives!

"You... That's such a misleading way to put it!"

"You don't have to get so angry. Besides, I never said it's an indefinite hiatus."

"Wha- Who the hell are you!?"

I apologize for causing a misunderstanding, but it's not my fault, right?

At that moment, my mom gave me a stern look.

"Could it be that you don't want to tell the doctor that you've lost your ability to understand foreign languages? Because if you undergo extensive testing or a prolonged hospital stay, it will reduce the time you spend watching streams, won't it?"

"What?! Th-that's not it!"

"Iroha!"

"Hiiiigh!"

My mom sighed deeply, "Haaaaa~~~."

Seemingly no longer angry.

"But, Iroha, are you okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you can't understand foreign languages anymore, right? Doesn't that mean you won't be able to enjoy overseas streamers as you used to? Isn't that a problem for you, Iroha?"

"Hahaha, yeah. Honestly, it's almost like a fatal blow."

But I continued, saying, "However..."

I wasn't worried.

"I don't mind. I'll learn foreign languages again, with my strength."

"·····!"

I already knew.

I understand the joy of watching streams when I know the other person's language.

And strangely, I had a strong belief that "I can do it.".

My abilities may have disappeared, but I still had experiences within me.

"Although it's a bit challenging, you know."

There are many things I can't do anymore, and there are things I wanted to do that remain unfinished.

But I can tackle those things again once I relearn foreign languages.

"In a way, that's why I wanted a hiatus."

I have no doubts.

This time, I won't give up.

"So, I need time to relearn foreign languages."

"T-then let me teach you English! I'll be your helping hand, Iroha!"

"Really? I'd truly appreciate it!"

I had been longing for a native teacher.

After all, the low English proficiency among Japanese people is said to be due to a shortage of qualified instructors.

In fact, in certain educational cities, the English proficiency of middle school students skyrocketed when they had two native English teachers.

Well, it's physically and financially impossible to do that in Japan.

"I'll teach you... B-but let's take a short break. I'll resume my activities soon, and from now on, I'll learn all the languages of the countries where VTubers are active. Even if it takes a lifetime, I won't give up, na."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

As expected, I don't plan to forcibly learn languages one by one like I had the cheat-like translation ability before.

In that case, there are limitations to countries where VTuber activities are active, right?

"Huh? Oh, Iroha wouldn't know since she just woke up."

"???"

Everyone, from Angu Ogu, Mai, and Ah-nee to even my mother, exchanged glances and grinned.

"What's with everyone?"

I asked, and my older sister answered on behalf of them.

It was the beginning of a new era.

"Congratulations, Iroha-chan! Right now..."

"—There's an unprecedented VTuber boom happening worldwide!"

"W-What!?"

Well, thinking about it, it's natural.

In a way, VTubers saved the world with this incident.

And as shown on the laptop. 

I have become such a hot topic.

So, it's only natural that VTubers as a whole would spread even more globally.

"That's why, Iroha, you can't keep resting forever!"

"Even I, as your future manager, think you should ride this big wave, don't you think?"

"But, if I do that, what about the archives?"

I struggled.

I think it's exciting.

Or if it's going to get even more exciting from now.

Shouldn't I hurry up and relearn as many foreign languages as possible?

That's when Ah-nee intervened with a "Hold on.".

Everyone's attention turned towards her.

"Wait a minute, everyone. Streaming shouldn't be something forced upon someone, right? What's important is Iroha-chan's feelings. MyTube is a place where you can 'live doing what you love.'"

"That's right. I'm sorry, Iroha."

"Sorry, Iroha-chan."

"...No."

However, it's unexpected.

Ah-nee, who invited me to become a VTuber, is the one stepping in to stop it.

Despite appearing overbearing, in the end, she always respects my choices.

Thanks to that, I could say it proudly.

"As for me, I still want to continue streaming—"

"That's why, everyone... even if Iroha-chan were to start streaming here, I thought it might lead to an explosive increase in people starting VTubing, but it's no good to force her into streaming, right!?"

"—I will continue streaming!!!"

"Huh?!"

I changed my stance abruptly.

Wait, wait a minute!

If I start streaming, will it increase the number of VTubers?

That changes the whole conversation!
