Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 269: [One In Ten Thousand Sounds]

Listen to the 0th character' of words.

If we give an easy example, it might be the Hyakunin Isshu.

There is a concept of "set characters" in it.

Among them, 7 cards can be identified by the 1st character, the so-called "Musume Fusaho Se".

Damn it! Stop copying my words forever!

That's considered the fastest, but it's not actually.

In Hyakunin Isshu, there's a 0th character even faster than that.

It's the sound of breath before the words are formed into characters'the sound of breath.

In other words, consonants.

Shut up! Seriously, enough already!

Especially famous is the S sound.

The cards "su," "sa," and "se" of the 1-card set.

At first glance, they might seem indistinguishable, but in reality, each has its own difference'.

Especially "se" is distinctive, and there are quite a few competitive karuta players who can actually distinguish it by sound.

What the heck, man! What are you talking about?

And now, I felt like I could distinguish not only the S sound but all sounds.

The sensitivity of my sensors to language has increased abnormally.

So much so that I could probably even distinguish the sound of the wind.

Otherwise, even with a language cheat, I wouldn't have been able to trace with such high accuracy.

Damn it! Shut up! Enough of this!

Do you remember the story I once told about babies being able to distinguish between L and R? From there, reducing unnecessary discrimination' and lightening the brain's processing.

What I'm doing now is somewhat the opposite of what babies do when they acquire their native language.

The 26 sounds of the alphabet, breaking them down into 100, 1000, or 10,000 sounds again.

Ughhh! That's it!

Of course, it requires considerable effort.

I didn't respond at all to the delinquent's words anymore.

I concentrated, continuing to distinguish words.

With my ears andmy "eyes."

This

The shape of the mouth before speaking.

When people speak, there is always a preparatory action.

For example, when you want to pronounce "a," your mouth is already open and your tongue is in position before you make a sound.

Furthermore, the phrases used in conversation are limited. Especially those at the beginning of a sentence.

As soon as we try to weave words, the words are already spoken.

Of course, I could do this because I had already mastered lip reading or rather, it's all thanks to the "super" technique of language cheat ability.

Ah

Gradually, the voice of the delinquent, who initially spoke aggressively, weakened

At the stage where the first character of the words was covered, he finally stopped speaking.

Perhaps he had lost the energy to try to resist, or perhaps he had stopped resisting altogether. He directed a mixture of fear and confusion towards me.

Demon

The delinquent's words were muttered quietly.

I stopped overlaying words on him.

I didn't think it was necessary anymore.

I responded normally.

Demon? That's the first time I've been called that. I'm often called an angel though.

An gel

Huh, what's with that reaction, like you're scared? You don't actually believe it? It was a joke, but if you look at me with such serious eyes. It's a bit embarrassing.

The delinquent collapsed to the ground unsteadily.

Shitenno released him from his restraint and let out a sigh.

"It's over."

"Um, are you okay?"

"To be honest, at my limit. The pain after the adrenaline wears off, I'm scared."

"Haha, what's that?"

"I'm really glad Iroha is safe."

"You too, Shitenno-kun."

"I told you phew. Well, whatever."

Shitenno smiled, and I couldn't help but smile too.

Really, he was in bad shape to the point where I couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, Iroha. About what just happened"

"Probably"

Shitenno asked me in Japanese, and I shrugged.

Honestly, I didn't think things would go this smoothly.

Certainly, religion is thriving in America.

But having strong faith and believing in such absurdity' are completely different things.

"I guess so. I don't really believe I can read minds."

In America, investigations using psychometry are commonplace.

So, supernatural abilities are relatively easy to believe in.

Or so one might think.

In Japan, there are occasionally people who misunderstand. I want them to think rationally.

In America, they wouldn't allocate personnel to pseudoscience.

"Superpower investigators" only exist in Japanese TV shows, not in reality.

So, I was doing this with the mindset of "as long as I can buy time."

"You probably did it Either way, you're still a monster, though."

Shitenno had a complicated expression.

Perhaps he now understood the seed of my current mind-reading'?

It's truly amazing. Even without relying on cheats.

That's what being a genius is all about.

"Well then. Anyway, let's call the security guards"

The Secret Service didn't show up until the end.

While thinking about that, I turned my gaze elsewhere, and that's when it happened.

"Kyah!?"

Something hit my face.

I covered my face with my hand in pain.

I realized that I had been hit by gravel as I tasted the gravel in my mouth.

Some even got into my eyes, and tears blurred my vision so I couldn't see my surroundings.

Now's your chance, guys! Get them all! Don't let them get away with opposing us for free!

The delinquent's voice echoed.

It seems he was squatting for this purpose.

"What!? How far will you go! You coward!"

The delinquent had nothing to lose.

Therefore, he didn't even choose the means.

I could hear footsteps approaching.

There was no way out now. At this rate.

"Iroha-chan, I've come to help!"

Oh, come on, you're too late!

I wanted to scream at the voice of the helper that I finally heard.
