Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 207, Section 204: Reversal, Live Stream Starts and Earns Money!
Yuna Shimamura doesn't care how people praise her.

After the game ended, her reaction to the cheers from the crowd was rather lukewarm.

Fans were calling her name.

She didn't laugh.

He didn't even look up at his fans.

In fact, they didn't show any emotion at all.

She simply took off her headphones and calmly got up to leave the arena.

It was as if this was just a trivial match.

Perhaps that's the truth for her.

They did not ultimately win.

It doesn't even have any advantage.

It's just that we've made it to the deciding game.

It's too early to be happy.

Yuna Shimamura is not the type of person who likes to open champagne halfway through the game or celebrate prematurely.

She was afraid of the disappointment that would result from having too high expectations.

She was afraid of losing the game and being disappointed after the initial excitement.

I'm afraid that after being filled with hope, I'll be faced with despair.

Therefore, she maintained a restrained and indifferent attitude.

But this is suppression.

This is preparation for an even bigger outbreak later.

So, she left the audience with only a thin but somewhat cold back view.

The score was tied at 2-2, and the hero, Yuna Shimamura, left the field.

But everyone knows that she will soon return to the arena in a grander manner.
-
At this very moment, Akari Kujo was actually watching the match silently.

She had previously promised the audience that she would provide commentary if it was a do-or-die match for Shimamura Yuna.

Today is a life-or-death situation.

It's the loser's bracket final, the final that determines whether the two teams can make it to the MSI finals.

But she broke her promise.

She did not appear in the live broadcast room on time as promised to the viewers.

I didn't get to watch Shimamura Yuna's match with everyone.

It's not because she's asleep and can't get up.

It wasn't because she didn't ask the school for leave or anything.

She could skip the previous matches, but she was willing to take a day off to watch this crucial one.

The only reason she made this decision was...
'It seems the situation isn't so optimistic.'

As someone who had a close relationship with Shimamura Yuna, Kujo Akari had contacted Shimamura Yuna the night before the match.

I asked her then, "Do you feel confident today?"

The answer I received was, "I don't know."

Ok.

In fact, she felt that no matter when, when asked this kind of question, Shimamura Yuna would give her a similar answer, saying "I don't know".

That's because that's a defining characteristic of Yuna Shimamura.

It's really hard to hear her say things like "I can do it."

But
The words are the same, but the tone is different.

If Shimamura Yuna is confident about tomorrow's match, she will probably speak in a calm tone, even with a sense of restraint, saying, "We'll only know after we play tomorrow."

What she meant was, "I actually think I can win, but if I'm too confident now, what if I bounce back tomorrow?"

Akari Kujo understands her so well.

If Shimamura Yuna weren't so confident about tomorrow's match, she would have said something like, "I don't know," just like she is now.

Although the two sentences seem to have the same meaning on the surface.

But the meanings are completely different.

When Shimamura Yuna says "I don't know," it means she's a little confused.

She felt uncertain about the outcome and was more inclined to guess the worst.

That's why I said "I don't know".

One type of statement is "You'll only know after you get hit," said while restraining one's excitement; the other is "I don't know," said while in a negative emotional state.

The difference is obvious.

Akari Kujo immediately realized that the team's morale was affected by the loss to GENG.

As an outsider, she didn't know how to help Shimamura Yuna.

All I could do was offer a few simple words of comfort.

It means "If it's you, it's definitely possible."

Then the next day, she promptly canceled the live stream she was supposed to give everyone.

The reason for not streaming is not complicated: she knows that the battle is likely to not go well today, so as a family member of Shimamura Yuna, she doesn't want to stream.

After all, if you know the CFO isn't in good shape, what are you supposed to show the audience when you go live?

Do you want to show your negative energy and anxiety?

Should I show my worries and fears?
She didn't feel like performing for the audience under these circumstances.

If she were to go live, she would prefer to share her joy as Yuna Shimamura's most loyal supporter, rather than her crying and complaining side.

So she stood him up.

Or rather, it's just glutinous.

This behavior drew criticism from many people at the start of the competition.

【Wait, old man, what happened to the promised broadcast?】

[Old man, are you coming or not?]

[You're not even here for today's do-or-die situation??? Old man, don't you care about Shimamura-san anymore?] [Damn it, old man, if you're not coming, who am I supposed to send money to? Are you trying to make me give my money to the Dragon God?]

Please, just start broadcasting already!

[Although I know the old man isn't a full-time streamer, it's still a bit...unpleasant that he promised to come and then didn't show up.]

No matter how unhappy these fans were, Akari Kujo always pretended to be dead.

She was alone at home, holding her phone, watching the game nervously.

When she saw the score narrow to 1-2, her mood plummeted to its lowest point.

Her prediction came true.
The CFO's condition was indeed much worse than before the GENG match.

The defeat against GENG was a miscalculation, not only an objective loss, but also a devastating blow to one's emotions and mindset.

'Are we going to lose?'

'They really won't even make it to the finals?'

'Things were going so smoothly so far; if we don't make it to the finals now, wouldn't that be a complete disaster?'

Kujo Akari finds this utterly unacceptable.

She was even less accepting of it than Shimamura Yuna, who was playing the game on the field.

After all, as someone who personally plays on the field, Shimamura Yuna has firsthand knowledge of the training matches and the team's atmosphere, and is therefore better able to anticipate the final outcome.

But in Akari Kujo's view, it was as if the team she supported had suddenly gone downhill.

This psychological gap is really huge for supporters.

After the third game, Akari Kujo was even a little afraid to watch.

She sat in the room, sighing incessantly.

"No way, this shouldn't be happening."

"You were the champion last time, how come you can't even get second place this time?"

"This isn't a problem with You Nai, is it? It's someone else's problem, isn't it?"

She had only a superficial understanding of the competition and was not very clear about the game's content.

She didn't know why things had turned out this way.

But she simply hoped that her friends could be better off.

Therefore, in such situations, she feels even more powerless because she can't do anything about it.

then
Just when her emotions were at their lowest point, when she felt most pessimistic about the outcome.
Everything has been reversed.

Although I don’t know what exactly happened.

Although I don't know why the CFO, who looked so dead just now, suddenly came back to life.

After all, she couldn't understand League of Legends matches at all.

But with the Japanese commentary praising it so much, and the Japanese-language comments filled with excited chatter that sounded like they were about to cry, Akari Kujo barely understood one fact.

That is, Shimamura Yuna's Fiora single-handedly broke through the top lane and became the most influential person in the entire team, leading CFO to reverse the decline and win the game.

Moreover, even without discussing whether or not there is any explanation or commentary.

Just watching Shimamura Yuna chase and slash Doran's Sion with her sword in lane, even if she's a complete novice, you can tell just how unstoppable Shimamura Yuna was in this game, and how crucial she was.

"Yuna is so cool!"

"She's so strong-willed!"

"As expected, Yuna can do it!"

As the person involved, Shimamura Yuna is still very restrained in her emotions. She is still thinking about the fifth game and has a feeling that she "cannot relax".

But as a viewer, Akari Kujo felt a surge of intense, explosive excitement after watching this match.

She had a gut feeling.

We can win today.

That's right, she doesn't understand games, let alone competitions.

But she just has this intuition, and she firmly believes that her intuition is correct.

Because she understands Shimamura Yuna.

Even through the screen, she could feel that the atmosphere around the CFO had changed dramatically since the game.

So, she had a gut feeling.

The CFO has swept away all the setbacks with this victory.

Whether it's a decline in objective game performance or a decline in psychological pressure.

They have now reached their peak.

So, now is the time to fight back.

As for Akari Kujo...
'Should I start broadcasting now?'

The reason I didn't go live earlier was because I felt we might lose, and I didn't want to show my reaction as part of the support group that would be ridiculed.

I don't want to be a broken clown and have my ugly performance seen by others.

but now.
'I need to celebrate this victory with tens of thousands of Yuna's fans in the live stream.'

'I have to witness this incredible comeback alongside tens of thousands of viewers!'

'It's time to start the live stream and rake in the money!'

Thinking of this, Akari Kujo suddenly became excited.

She tossed her phone aside and rushed over to start up the computer.

I opened OBS as quickly as possible and sent myself the clean stream match link via the web browser Bilibili.

When no one expected it.

The account 'Ghost King Yuna' started broadcasting without any warning.

Many people immediately flocked to the live stream room after receiving the notification from BILIBILI that the live stream was starting.

Then, one by one, filled with a sense of bewilderment, they began to ask questions.

【? ? ? ? 】

【No way, the match is almost over, why are you coming now???】

What were you doing just now?
