Chapter 197: [Wild Speed]
Things progressed quickly from there. I piled up the correct answers one after another.
"This one is in Danish, right? And this is Swedish. And then, this is Norwegian."
>Everything looks the same to me
>Isn't this English?
>What's the difference between alphabets and this?
It was like a language cheat, to be honest.
I didn't feel like I could make a mistake anymore.
"Haha, because they all belong to the same Germanic language family. They all have alphabets. For example, this one. Do you see the letter with a circle on top of ‘A'?"
>Oh, now that you mention it…
>Even though the three languages I'm using right now are quite similar, why can you distinguish them so easily? www
>Even for me, it's difficult to tell those characters apart, you know?
"Even though they may look similar, each one is a different language."
Street View photography is basically done by car.
In other words, it follows the road.
And if it follows the road, there are usually signs.
If there are signs, there are letters.
Right after boasting about it like that, an unexpected situation occurs.
Or Ah-nee intuitively anticipated this outcome.
"All right, then the next question. Oh, I found a sign already. Well, I've already figured out the language. Oh, I can't guess this one!?"
>Huh? If you've identified the language, isn't the rest easy?
>I see, this language is (U.S.)
>Finally, Iroha-chan stumbled, and I'm relieved
"No, you know, I understand the language. This is Spanish. It's just that there are too many countries where they use Spanish. Wasn't it like 20 countries in total?"
It's difficult to narrow it down with this.
I'll explore more clues.
And then, I found a decisive hint.
But, I still can't answer!
I genuinely don't know the answer!?
"Um, where is this flag from!? I have a strong sense of familiarity, but…"
>As soon as I can't distinguish it by text, I become weak, lol
>If it's this, even I can understand! I've won against Iroha!
>Why could I understand the ones until now, but not this one? www (Korean)
"Ugh!?"
I couldn't argue against that.
Huh!?
I thought I had it in the bag.
This is pure forgetfulness.
And there are only a few flags I need to remember for junior high entrance exams.
"It looks so much like the flag of France, but I'm sure it's not France. It's not French! Ah, I don't know! Anyway, let's go with… [Guess]!"
Giving up, I randomly choose a Spanish-speaking country and click.
The correct answer is…
"Wow, it's Mexico! I totally messed up. Despite having eaten tacos and nachos countless times with Ogu since starting life in the U.S. Sorry, everyone in Mexico!"
>This is a disqualification for a goodwill ambassador, lol
>Study up properly next time
>It's fine. It's fine. I forgive you (Mex. Spanish)
In the U.S., Mexican cuisine is cheap, delicious, and surprisingly includes a variety of vegetables.
Well, to be precise, it's Tex-Mex—Mexican-style American cuisine, it seems.
"I can't believe the correct answer was our neighbor."
Mexico shares a border with the United States, and Mexicans are by far the largest group of foreigners in the U.S.
However, the high number of immigrants can lead to various issues.
Every year, tens of thousands to millions of people are "apprehended" for illegally crossing the border.
While this might sound terrifying, it doesn't necessarily mean they end up in jail.
Many hope for asylum in the U.S. and receive some degree of protection.
However, crossing the border doesn't guarantee finding a job and stable living conditions, leading to challenges and potential security issues.
"… "
The thought of a robber crosses my mind for just a moment.
I wonder if he's now in prison watching VTuber streams?
The reasons for immigration vary, including a lack of trust in one's country or financial constraints.
The future where everyone can watch VTuber streams without worries is still distant.
I've taken on the role of goodwill ambassador. I intend to do my best.
Yes, as much as possible to spread VTuber culture!
"All right, let's move on to the next question!"
I gathered my determination and faced the challenges one by one.
The accuracy of my answers honestly depends on whether I can find the characters in the text.
Even if I find the characters, it's often difficult to discern because of various reasons.
"For English!? There are too many countries that use this language. Oh, but they drive on the left side! So it must be the UK! [Guess]… Wait, what!? Australia also drives on the left side!?"
If it were a sentence instead of a word, I might have a better chance of distinguishing.
For example, even I can't easily differentiate between British and American English with just the word "apple".
"Uh, um, let's go to the next one! Again in English!? And only one sign."
There, I see the characters [SPEED LIMIT 60].
Is this a 60 km/h speed limit?
It seems strict for such a wide road…
"Where could this be?"
Once again, faced with a challenging problem, I groan.
