Chapter 207: [The Last Caller]

<<No, um. Well. Ah, haha.>>

The certifier was staring at me intently.

I vaguely smiled, trying to dodge the situation.

<<Stop laughing and explain properly.>>

Oh no, this won't work.

There's not a hint of them letting me off the hook.

<<...Alright.>>

I resigned myself and decided to explain to the certifier.

Ideally, I wanted to smoothly go through the process, and get certified by the Guinness World Records in a normal way.

<<The truth is, as written in the comments, I didn't know Afrikaans.>>

<<What!?>>

>I knew it!

>I thought so too! (U.S.)

>↑ Well, why didn't you point it out sooner? lol (U.S.)

The certifier's face turned pale.

Immediately, they began contacting someone.

<<I apologize! Perhaps there was an error on our part! I'll quickly check and confirm!>>

<<Oh, no! It's not that! The problem is that the number of languages I claimed to have mastered became too much, and I couldn't keep track myself!>>

>???

>What is this little girl saying? (U.S.)

>The cause of the trouble is so outrageous, I can only laugh lol (U.S.)

<<S-So, that's how it is. Iroha-san received approval from a native speaker, right? So, does that mean you learned the language in just 15 minutes, even if we combined the time she spoke for only 5 minutes?>>

<<Um... Well, I guess that's one way to put it.>>

<<Apparently, he could listen to a native speaker's conversation and be able to engage in basic conversation himself within just 10 to 15 minutes.>>

<<Oh, really!?>>

Could it be that there are geniuses in the world who can do this on their own? I had always assumed it was a language cheat ability.

The world is truly vast.

Huh? Wait a minute.

<<Could it be that I'm not the only one with this ability?>>

<<That's impossible! In Iroha-san's case, it's even more extraordinary! I haven't heard any stories about him becoming ‘fluent' in just 15 minutes like she did!>>

<<Well, yeah.>>

I got scolded by the certifier for speaking my mind. I thought there was no need to worry too much about being a ‘cheat,' but apparently, that's not the case.

<<Sigh... We shouldn't deviate too much. Quite a bit of time has already passed.>>

<<Oh, really!?>>

With the trouble and everything, it had already taken close to 30 minutes for the current language.

I needed to hurry and finish the remaining two languages!

Although I should be in a hurry, unfortunately, it's the Winning Run from here on out.

The certifier smiled and announced,

<<Now, let's move on to the 59th language, which will become the Guinness ‘World New Record'! It seems the call has connected. Iroha-san, please go ahead!>>

And so, I stepped into uncharted territory.

The voice that came through was...

<<Iroha~! Congratulations on the Guinness new record! I knew you could do it!>>

<<Wow. Thanks, Ogu. Wait? Oguuu~!?>>

I quickly turned my gaze.

Right there, Angu Ogu, wearing a headset, was waving towards me.

She had a triumphant smile, like a mischievous child who had successfully pulled off a prank.
