Chapter 56. [First Project Stream]

Get on TV, and my destiny will change.

The English homeroom teacher’s words are spot on.

If an ordinary VTuber were approached about this, they would have no choice but to refuse.

The risk of being exposed is too great.

But in my case, it’s not necessarily a choice.

—- At some point, I was out of my head.

I have two choices now.

One is to continue to work as a VTuber.

The other is to become a “non-VTuber”.

Because, for my future, it is far more convenient to work IRL if I fully utilize my cheat-like language ability, living IRL is overwhelmingly more convenient.

For example, think of a job where I can use this ability.

The jobs that come to mind right now would be linguist or interpreter.

For example, if I become a linguist and can speak dozens of languages. Media exposure is inevitable.

Even if I publish a paper, I can’t avoid being in the public eye.

The same applies to interpreters.

If I work as an interpreter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

There are probably some things I don’t want to divulge in diplomacy. Sooner or later, I’ll have to be there in the flesh.

Sooner or later. In that case, it is not a bad option to sell my name on TV.

On the contrary, considering my “objective,” it is even a shortcut…

“No, it’s not! So, I’ve been kicked out of the TV show, I’m Iroha the Translator.”

>Don’t worry

>Terrestrial debut failure?

>Well, I’m afraid they’ll find out who you are.

“I’m told that I would get paid for my appearance. I still feel like I missed out on something.”

>The TV crew was very discerning.

>The fish that got away is big.

>I knew a genius like Iroha-chan would eventually catch on in the public eye.

“No, wait, is there a chance to appear on —— without speaking out?”

>It’s impossible www

>How do you make a show work without speaking English?

>Give it up www

“Damn ……….”

I still think it was a missed opportunity.

I just postponed the problem.

VTuber or non VTuber.

I’ll have to choose between the two again sooner or later.

Still, for now, I’m okay with it.

I don’t know if I can continue to be a VTuber.

But it’s not too late to think about it after I can’t continue.

“Ahh, but yeah…”

>LOL

>Wow, how long are you going to keep dragging this out? wwww

>If Iroha-chan is a VTuber or not, I’ll continue to support you when you stream

A few days later, a solution came from an unexpected direction.

“Well, what should I do? I got a project from the museum.”

It’s the third option.

As a VTuber, I took on the linguistics side of things.

***

“Hyaho! It’s my first project stream!”

>Iroha-chan finally got a project

>It’s kinda too late for that

>But why a museum?

“That’s because a hands-on museum called The Museum of World Languages will soon open.”

>I see. So it’s an advertisement for that.

>That’s perfect for you, Iroha-chan.

>What kind of things are actually on display?

“It’s a facility that exhibits all sorts of things, from inscriptions like the Rosetta Stone to clay tablets to oddities and forgeries like the Voynich Manuscript.”

While many items are replicas because they are hands-on, you can touch them.

For children, or even for many adults, it is more entertaining, and friendly than a regular museum.

I didn’t even know it existed until I got the offer! It’s a great marketing tool.

“There are also ciphers, the history of languages, and more. They have ABC soup and Iroha chocolate in the restaurant.”

>I miss ABC soup!

>Iroha-chan’s handmade chocolates!

>Valentine’s Day was foreshadowed!

“I miss ABC soup and Iroha’s chocolates. It’s not my handmade. Well, don’t you know? It’s an individually wrapped, bite-sized chocolate with syllables written on it. Like a computer keyboard.”

>I know what you’re talking about

>I wanted to dream

>Well, it’s impossible to prepare a collaborative menu in such a short period.

>Can’t you buy those chocolates anywhere?

“Don’t you think so? But at this restaurant, you can choose your favorite letters and designs instead of the usual random ones.”

>Sounds interesting.

>I’ll make up a name for you, Iroha-chan.

>If you put a heart design between your name and ……?

“You’re a genius! I’ll do it with my name and my oshi too!”

>Iroha ♡ Ogu

>Iroha ♡ Ogu

>We are ♡ Iroha

“Not you guys! Nobody said anything about putting Ogu’s name in!”

Well, I’m going to put Angu-Ogu’s name in.

After all, she is still my first choice.

“Well, that’s how I’ll promote the museum today. And since I’m a VTuber who sells my language skills, I was told, [f you can do it, try to decipher it.]. I’ll have to do it!”
