Language Cheat Reincarnation – Young Girl VTuber Saves the World

Chapter 77: [Nationality Gacha]

When I was wondering if I should participate in the American event, Angguogu muttered <<…Yes>>.

<<Are you worried about coming to America? But don't worry, Iroha! Because America has me!>>

<<No, I don't care about that.>>

<<!!!?!????>>

<<I have a more important question than that. If I become a performer. If I become…!>>

<<.— I won't be able to see the event!>>

<<.–I don't care!!!!>>

Damn, what the hell am I supposed to do! And please don't yell at me. I'm worried about this.

<<Seriously, you've got to be kidding me! Is that what the problem is? Is it okay to come to America?>>

<<What? I would have gone to America to see the event anyway.>>

<<You! You are… You're still a VTuber freak, Iroha.>>

Angu Ogu let out a sigh as if she had given up.

Incidentally, I have attended several local events in Japan.

On the fan side, of course.

I'm doing it in private.

I'm one of the famous VTubers now. I might be able to get a ticket from insider if I ask, but I don't want to beg for it myself. But… My pride as a fan doesn't allow me to do so, so I participate secretly.

Later on, they would ask, "Why didn't you tell me? or "If you had told us, we would have given you a ticket for the related parties!" But I couldn't do it.

Because I felt like I'm cheating!

The memory of the battle in my previous life gets stuck in my soul.

Tickets for local live concerts are only available after winning the battle of access concentration and lottery!

Of course, this is not the case if I'm offered a ticket in advance.

It would be rather rude to refuse.

<<Anyway. So, Iroha can attend the event in America without any problem. I mean, there's no one to replace you.>>

<<I see. Well, I don't have a choice. I'll be there too.>>

<<Why the reluctance?>>

It bothers me, but there are things only I can do.

It's also the role of fans to be the foundation to support VTubers.

<<But I see… You're finally coming to America. Okay, Iroha! You, go live in America permanently!>>

<<I can't do that. I mean, Ogu. You forgot I'm still in junior high school, right?>>

<<Uggh! I don't feel that way at all when I talk to Iroha.>>

<<Uggh!>>

I've got a boomerang stuck in me.

<<Hmmm, junior high school. I'm sure it's easy for Iroha to adjust to school here, right?>>

<<You're being too optimistic.>>

<<You can even stream from America.>>

<<Then Ogu. Why don't you go live in Japan?>>

<<…. I want to live in Japan! But that's not possible.>>

<<What?>>

A voice leaked out.

I had expected her to refuse, but I had never heard she wanted to move to Japan.

<<Because the tax rules are different. I heard that if I work in Japan, 80% of my salary gets taken from me in taxes.>>

<<Ha, 80%?>>

<<Yes, that's right. Yes, American taxes are based on nationality, while Japanese taxes are based on residency>>

The summary of Angu Ogu's story was this.

Americans are taxed even if they leave America.

In Japan, if you live there, you are subject to taxation even if you're a foreigner.

Therefore, if an American works in Japan, he is subject to double taxation.

However, this is not a problem one would have to worry about since Japan and America have a tax treaty.

However, this isn't the case for high-income earners. There is a cap on deductions.

As a result, in the case of Angu Ogu, nearly 80% of her income is taken as taxes.

That's indeed not an acceptable level.

<<On top of that, I just want to throw it all away and jump into Japan… I'm not a one-man operation. It's thanks to the staff who support me.>>

<<That may be unique to corporate VTubers.>>

Angu Ogu's earnings aren't hers alone, but also the salaries of the staff who support her.

<<But on the other hand, it is possible for Iroha, who is Japanese, to come to the US to work.>>

If you spend more than half of the year abroad. You won't get taxed by Japan.

As long as you can overcome the language barrier, there aren't many races that can work abroad as easily as the Japanese.

Aside from the fact it's said that "There is no other country where it is more difficult for foreigners to work than in Japan."

Japan is also the strongest in terms of passports.

The Japanese passport has the largest number of countries we can travel to without a visa.

It is often said that Japan is a "nationality gacha" (a mess of nationalities).

In that sense, Japan is truly the SSR.

In the past, treatment changed depending on one's birth status.

Even today. The sad but true fact is that treatment varies greatly depending on the country you were born in.

That is why Angu Ogu can't move to Japan and distribute, at least not with taxes.

Until the money problems are solved.

<<Iroha is cheating.>>

Angu Ogu muttered in a sulky voice.
