Chapter 208: [World Record Holder]
<<Eh!? Ogu, you didn't just come to mess around, did you!?>>
<<No, that's right. But, you know, since I was here, I asked if I could see it directly.>>
So, does that mean you weren't asked because you happened to be there?
From the beginning, Angu Ogu was already determined to be the 59th English speaker!?
Looking at the certifier...
Whoa!?
She also has an expression like "I did it."
<<Y-you did it, huh? Is that okay? Exposing my acquaintance as a speaker. It might be treated as fraud or something.>>
<<It's too late for anyone to doubt Iroha's English. Besides, it's not a rule violation at all. I only said, "Have a conversation with the native speaker we specified.">>
<<...Damn it all.>>
I completely got set up.
No wonder he seemed so unusually cheerful!
<<Hey, Iroha! How was it? Surprised, right!?>>
<<Well, yeah. Geez, it's annoying! Don't look at me with that smug face!>>
>Ogu, you did well, haha (U.S.)
>Feels like showing off your mischievous side (U.S.)
>This is a good surprise
<<Certifier, that's enough, right? Ogu, you're done too, right? I'm ending the call, okay?>>
<<Is it okay to act like that? Hmm, what should I do? Maybe I'll declare Iroha as unfit?>>
<<What!? Th-this guy...>>
<<Ah, as for English, it's already considered a pass, so you're fine.>>
<<What!? W-wait, Iroha! It's fine, let's chat a bit more—.>>
I ignored him and pressed the end-call button.
Even after the call ended, I pretended not to hear whatever Ango Ogu was shouting.
>Iroha-chan, no mercy lol
"I'm not your sister, though. But, thank you."
[Right, right! As expected of me, it was a perfect plan!]
"Wasn't that just self-praise earlier!? You weren't praising me, you know!?"
>LOL
>But, thanks Anego
>If it weren't for Anego, Iroha-chan wouldn't have attempted the Guinness Challenge (U.S.)
[Iroha-chan, how was this project? Was it fun?]
"Realllly tiring."
[Hahaha, typical Iroha-chan! But, seriously, it's amazing—60 languages-ne! Iroha-chan's voice has reached so many people, even those far away, big sister~]
[...!]
[Iroha-chan, congratulations on reaching 60 languages! Big sister sincerely prays that your voice reaches everyone around the world even more from now on, big sister☆]
".........Thanks."
Ah, my face is so hot.
I turned away and, while being a bit blunt, expressed my gratitude.
At times like these, I think Anego is really unfair.
Even the Guinness record attempt wasn't that bad, making me feel that way.
Well, I won't do it again if I'm asked a second time!?
Anyway, with this, it's a closed case... or so I thought.
[So, thank you, thank you! Everything, thank you! Okay! Goodbye!]
"Why are you suddenly speaking in English there!? Do you understand the purpose of the plan you created? Ah-nee is currently playing the role of a Japanese native speaker, you know!?"
[...? Okay! Please, good luck!]
"Yeah, you don't understand at all, huh!?"
With that, the call with Anego ended.
I feel like all the lingering feelings got blown away at the very end.
But finally, all the evaluations for the 60 languages are done.
