Chapter 252: [Lets Go To School]

Inside the departing school bus, it was surprisingly noisy.

It wasn't just because the engine was loud enough that people had to shout to be heard

If you don't understand something, I'll teach you, okay?

Stupid, this kid is definitely smarter than you. We should actually get her to tutor us instead.

Hahaha, no doubt about that!

Ah, ahaha

Conversations revolved around me like this.

My seat, adorned with a wry smile, was surrounded by girls from all directions.

Because it's America, they don't suddenly ask your age to avoid manners violations.

But because of that, there seems to be a misconception that I skipped a grade rather than being the same age.

Ah, what luck! Seems like I've found my angel!

An angel! An angel has descended upon me!

Hey, pinch my cheek a bit! I somehow saw an angelic hallucination. It's happening!

Wait, what if it's not an angel but a fairy!?

I could hear voices like that from the far end of the seats.

Huh, in America, do they pinch their cheeks to confirm reality? Now is not the time for such thoughts.

Who could be a fairy!? In VR social networks (VRSNS), often called Fairies by the Japanese, you can wander around VR space as your favorite avatar.

Preferring small avatars, being few, and withdrawing to private areas, they tend to flee when spoken to.

But unfortunately, this is reality.

Um, well, I

Yeah, yeah!

What, what!?

Never mind, forget it

Sigh. The only solace is that if I sit down, I can block out most of the gazes.

The seats were unusually tall, with no seat belts, making me keenly aware of my small stature.

In case of an accident, these cushioned seats would serve as airbags.

Your outfit looks so cute, just like a doll's!

Um, well. Ah-nee picked it out for me

"Um, who?"

"Huh?"

Who is this guy, seriously?

Why does he know me? It's creepy.

"Hey, remember? We were in the same middle school. Well, not the same class though. You took my spot as one of the Four Heavenly Kings' from when we first enrolled, and I've been plotting to reclaim it."

"?"

"Hey, didn't I help translate for the whole world back then!?"

"Oh! That time!"

"You really don't remember anything except VTubers, huh!? Show some interest in me! I came to study at the same school just to beat you!"

"Eek, creepy are you still a stalker?"

"N-no way!? What do you mean still'!? And why creepy'!? Though, I did confess to you in the past."

"Did you? Confess what?"

"Aaaahh! Mooooom!"

Shitenno-kun? Was that it?

Ah, no good. I'm really sorry, but I genuinely can't remember. Not even his real name.

But I'm deeply impressed by his determination and spirit.

After all, even faced with a language cheat, he continues to challenge himself.

Perhaps he'll become a truly remarkable linguist in the future.

Not through cheat like me. But through hard work and talent.

Hey, what were you guys talking about?

Um, well, actually

Eeek! Is that romance!? Hey, Shitenno! Sit closer to her!

No, no. He's a guy, and besides, he seems to have mommy issues.

Above all, it has nothing to do with VTubers.

If it were them, I'd be more. Wait, what am I thinking!?

I shake my head and hastily cut off my thoughts.

Alright. Hey, Iroha-chan, we're almost there!

After a barrage of questions, the school bus finally arrives at its destination.

Finally, the first day of high school begins!
