Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

SS 18. [‘Bet' Game ~Trial]

"Iroha!" "Iroha-chan!" "Iroha-sama!"

"…Huh?"

"Hey, what's wrong, Iroha? You're spacing out."

"No, I… um, huh? What happened?"

I looked around frantically.

The ‘Translator Girl Iroha' on-screen also shifted her expression restlessly along with my movements.

This is my room in America.

For some reason, I felt incredibly dreamy.

"Live-streaming… Oh, right. Yeah. Sorry, why is that? I feel like I was just thinking really hard about how I ‘don't want to die' or something."

"Iroha-sama, you're saying funny things!"

"That's right, Iroha. Nobody wants to die, you know?"

"Y-yeah, you're right. Something's off with me…"

"That's right, Iroha-chan~ After all, today's stream is…"

"A ‘Death Game' episode-nee~!"

"Huhhh!?!?!?"

"What, you forgot? To be specific…"

Apparently, my confusion was clear through the screen, and Ah-nee was about to explain.

But before she could, loud laughter echoed from nowhere.

"Fuhahaha! Welcome, everyone!"

≫What are you doing, Princess!? lol

≫Wearing a weird mask and cape too

≫You need to outgrow that edgy phase…

"Silence! I'm not in an edgy phase!"

The VTuber, referred to as Princess, cleared her throat to regain control.

Oh, right. We were invited to her event today.

"The reason I’ve gathered you all here is simple. You’re going to participate in a battle royale!"

"I don't wanna die~ No way~"

"What!? Princess, are we really gonna die!?"

The Orthrus-type and Alchemist-type VTubers reacted to Princess's declaration.

The three of them were known as the VTuber unit ‘Sanboke'.

I had collaborated with them a few times before.

Especially with Princess—I was even dragged to the pool with her and Ah-nee.

"Ah, no! No one will actually die, don't worry! But, if you lose, you'll have to say something really embarrassing… It’s like a ‘social death'!"

≫So kind lol

≫This management seems pretty easygoing

≫What a wholesome death game lol

"And today, I’m not Princess. I’m the Game Master!"

"Oh, okay, Princess." "By the way, Princess~"

"You’re not getting it!"

Sanboke's usual comedy routine was in full swing.

Including me, Angu Ogu, Ah-nee, and Ilyena, we made up seven participants.

The collaboration was quite large-scale.

As a fan, I could listen to Sanboke banter forever, but this wasn't going anywhere.

Ilyena timidly spoke up, "Princess, could we get the rules explanation soon?"

"Ah, sorry! Alright, let me announce the rules for the ‘Liar's Game' you'll all be playing today!"

≫The name's still on the edge lol

≫They really should be sued already lol

≫lmao…

"The game we’ll play today is… [‘Bet' Game]!"

"Bet Game?"

We tilted our heads in unison…

For some reason, Ah-nee excitedly turned to me.

"B-b-b-bed game!? That sounds way too indecent~!"

"What the hell did you think you heard!?"

"But if I have to share a bed… I'd want it to be with Iroha-chan~"

"I’d rather die than share a bed with you, Ah-nee!!"

"Oh? Was I wrong? Then maybe a pet…"

"Hey, Ah-nee, could you quiet down a bit? You're messing with the flow here."

"…Ahem. Now then, let's go over the rules. But to make it easier, let’s try a practice round. Iroha-chan, Angu Ogu, could you two help?"

"Understood." "Of course."

"Each player will be given 30 chips."

Princess seemed to operate the OVS.

Next to our avatars, illustrations of stacks of chips appeared, along with the number '30'.

"The only thing players will do is—bet their chips."

"Wait, so we’re not betting on anything?"

"Correct. In this game, you only bet."

"That’s… quite simple, or maybe too simple."

"Exactly! But there’s a limit on how many chips you can bet. Each round, you must bet between 1 and 5 chips."

"Still not sure I get it."

"Well, let’s just give it a try."

"Right."

"Please send the number of chips you wish to bet via private chat."

I sent ‘3' to Princess via Dithcord.

Angu Ogu sent his bet as well, but I couldn't see how many chips he chose.

"Alright, we’ve received all bets. Now, let’s reveal the results!"

Bet amounts:

1 chip:

2 chips:

3 chips: Iroha

4 chips:

5 chips: Ogu

What’s going to happen?

We held our breath…

"Since no bets overlapped, all chips will be returned."

Chips in possession:

Iroha… 30 chips

Ogu… 30 chips

Huh? Nothing happened?

Our chip count remained the same as at the start—30 each.

"So, because no one overlapped…"

"Yes. If any players bet the same amount, their chips are forfeited."

[…!

I see now.]

You can bet between 1 and 5 chips.

This practice round had only two players, but the real game will have six.

In other words, someone is bound to overlap with another player's bet!
