Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 225, Section 222: The Biggest Player
"Yes, I hope that Shimamura-nee won't make choices she doesn't like, but only the choices that are best for her!"

And so, Shimamura Yuna didn't say much all night.

After finishing her meal and returning to the hotel to rest, she lay down on the bed and began to think about the matter carefully.

The first thing she did after arriving at the hotel was to call Akari Kujo.

Akari Kujo was very considerate. Knowing that she might have a lot of official media and other filming work to do after the match, she didn't bother her.

Instead, he sent her a LINE message saying, "If you have time, please give me a call."

Shimamura Yuna kept this matter on her mind.

The two of them have been communicating less and less lately, as they are both busy with their own things.

Shimamura Yuna was busy with the competition, while Kujo Akari was busy with her studies.

Although the two had a good relationship, their different choices and paths for the future inevitably led them to diverge in life.

Originally, Shimamura Yuna hoped that Kujo Akari would come to watch the game with her, just like last time.

It was originally hopeful.
However, after contacting them, the reply was, "I'm sorry, I really can't come this time."

That's understandable.
They're still students, after all.

Where would you find students skipping school every day to go abroad to watch a game?

It's okay if it happens once or twice.

However, if this happens every time, his studies might really be in trouble.

Although Shimamura Yuna felt that with Kujo Akari's learning ability, she was fully capable of catching up quickly after going abroad to watch the competition.

But that would be very hard, and it wouldn't feel right not to prepare for the exam with all my might.

So she understood.

There was no insistence, nor any tantrum.

That's not something an adult, a rational person, should do.

But she doesn't hide her expectations.

If I had to say who I most wanted to share this with after winning a match, it would undoubtedly be Akari Kujo.

Although her first share was with her older sister.
Right after the match, she sent a message to her sister, saying, "We won the championship."

My sister replied: "Congratulations! By the way, I'm a little busy right now, I'll contact you later."

Shimamura Yuna felt that this response was within her expectations.

My sister's work is really busy. Even on weekends, she often needs to do some work at home in private, otherwise she simply can't finish it.

'My sister is a very responsible person.'

Yuna Shimamura was keenly aware of this.

However, although she tried to contact her sister first, Akari Kujo was actually a slightly higher priority in her heart when it came to sharing her feelings with someone.

It's not because of the closeness of the relationship.

It's because, although her sister is also very close to her, she may not quite understand her sister's achievements.

She's too busy and tired every day, so she doesn't really have much energy to learn about the games Shimamura Yuna plays, the matches she competes in, or the tournaments she participates in.

Even if she wins the MSI or S-series championship, her sister will only have a superficial impression in her mind: "My sister is very capable" or "My sister won the championship".

As for the prestige and influence of these championships, that remains to be seen.

Perhaps no matter what, she will only have a vague feeling that it is "amazing".

This is certainly beyond reproach.

From this perspective, her older sister feels more like her parents, suggesting a generation gap.

Although she is the older sister, due to the age gap, they do get along more like parents.

The eldest sister is like a mother.

Akari Kujo, on the other hand, is younger, more energetic, and surfs more often.

Although she doesn't play games, she is fully aware of all the competitions she's played and the things she's involved in.

At least I understand that it belongs to the cloud.

This gives it two attributes that are very important to Shimamura Yuna.

First, it is very close to oneself, as close as one's own family.

Secondly, she understands her own achievements, her own performance, and her successes and failures, her highs and lows. She is her peer.

She is willing to listen to herself and understand what she is saying.

Therefore, for Shimamura Yuna, she was a more perfect confidante than her older sister.

So, after returning to the hotel, Shimamura Yuna couldn't wait to call Kujo Akari.

The other party answered quickly.

After the connection was established, the first person to speak was Kyu-Tiao Mingli.

"Hello hello!!!! How are you feeling!!"

Hearing that energetic and cheerful voice after so long instantly lifted Shimamura Yuna's spirits.

Today, various things have caused me to suppress my emotions, and at this moment, I feel a little more release.

"Um, it's been a long time."

She greeted Akari Kujo in a slightly shy voice.

The other person's tone was quite relaxed.

"Long time no see, where are you? Don't we keep in touch on LINE every day?"

"Every day? It seems like you only contact each other more during the competition period."

"Hmm, now that you mention it, it's true. So, you mean you want me to call you every day, and you're not happy if I don't call you for a day?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that."

Hearing Shimamura Yuna's somewhat flustered tone, Kujo Akari couldn't help but laugh on the other end of the phone.

Regardless of the results achieved on the field.

No matter how good your record is in the game.

On the field, Yuna Shimamura is the world's number one top laner, attracting worldwide attention.

But off the field, she's still just an ordinary little girl.

Slightly withdrawn
She is a little bit shy when it comes to emotions.

Not easy to get close to.

But she's very cute once you get to know her.

Of course, most importantly, she's also very cute.

Yes, that's right, she is such a lovely girl.

After that, the two chatted for a while about this and that.

"You know, when you picked Renekton in the last game, everyone in the live stream went crazy."

"Eh? Really?"

“Yes. Everyone is saying, ‘Shimamura-san’s crocodile is doomed,’ ‘Shimamura-san’s crocodile is going to lose.’ Your crocodile doesn’t seem to give people any sense of security at all.”

Hearing what Akari Kujo said, Yuna Shimamura smiled helplessly.

She could probably imagine these things.

After all, everyone on the internet is saying that their crocodiles are useless, and everyone on the internet is saying, 'This guy's crocodile is definitely no good.'

Even I'm a little unsure about what to do with it myself, let alone anyone else.

All I can say is, thankfully we won.

If you win, then the hero selection is an obligation, and there's no problem with it. Conversely, if you lose, then you'll be labeled with all sorts of accusations.

They say things like pranking someone in a crucial game, or picking a hero you don't know how to play in a game you can win.
That's just how the audience is.

Sometimes, people attribute causes to reasons they shouldn't, in order to make their beliefs seem more convincing.

Fortunately, we won.

Because we won, nothing happened.

After that, the two chatted about various things related to games and live streaming.

Akari Kujo recounted everything from her initial elation at the first game, through the tension of being chased down in the second, to the exhilaration of finally seeing the √××√√.

She spoke in a very engaging way, and her humor was just like a stand-up comedian.

Shimamura Yuna had no idea that while she was playing the match, the live stream outside the venue was going to be so exciting.

This made her feel a little emotional.

However, when Akari Kujo mentioned that she had spent two million RMB, she still felt a little pained.

"No. If you give away so much, then all the captains I've collected are for nothing, aren't they?"

"We were making quite a bit of money before, but after your lottery, it's like we didn't make any at all."

However, Akari Kujo didn't care at all.

She said, "Isn't the money from this live stream still in your account? I got the money for the giveaway from my mom."

Yuna Shimamura sighed somewhat helplessly: "It's not about your money or my money, I mean..."

Before she could finish speaking, Akari Kujo interrupted with a chuckle, "So you're saying your money is my money, and my money is your money?"

Upon hearing this, Shimamura Yuna was immediately taken aback by the direct implication.

She stood there, speechless.

Then came a long silence that lasted for several seconds.

Then came exasperation, and the red temperature broke through the defense.

No, that's not it! I mean...

Then she remembered what she was about to say.

It's like saying, "Even if I make money, it's meaningless if you take so much."

Actually, if you translate it, it seems to be no different from what Akari Kujo said.

What she really meant was, 'Your money is your money, and my money is my money.'

However, at this point, her language skills also malfunctioned slightly, so she didn't know how to reasonably and effectively refute the nine reasonable arguments.

So, she was embarrassed again.

I could only stand there helplessly, not saying a word.

After an awkward silence that lasted for quite a while, she finally came up with a way to change the subject.

"Even if... even if your family is very rich, your mother won't be happy if you take 200 million RMB from me every now and then, right? That's tens of millions of yen."

Akari Kujo chuckled: "That little bit of money, I can get it from her by just begging her, and besides..."

Moreover, my mother strongly supports me building a good relationship with you and hopes that I can win you over. In her view, this would easily be interpreted as legitimate use of funds.

She only said half of what she was going to say about it.

"Never mind, just know that I don't need this little bit of money."

Can you really get 200 million just by being cute?

Yuna Shimamura had always known that Akari Kujo's family was extremely wealthy, possibly among the richest in all of Osaka.

But the idea that 200 million RMB or tens of millions of yen could be won by a student who had just come of age in a live stream just by acting cute was still a bit of a shock to her.

She didn't know if she had no concept of money, or if money simply wasn't money to these families.

It feels like this sum of money, which might be enough to change the lives of many people, is just such a simple thing for the Kujo family. It's incredible.

The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Alas, the original family.

While Shimamura Yuna was thinking about these random things, Kujo Akari eventually steered the conversation back to something more practical.

"Um... after this competition, will you be going back to Japan?"

Shimamura Yuna nodded and said, "I think so. I will go back to Japan."

Akari Kujo continued, "But aren't you about to renew your visa soon? If you go back to Japan, will you have enough time for all this messy stuff? Will you be able to make it to the transfer window?"

"Shouldn't you have made a decision sooner rather than later, whether you stay with CFO or transfer to another region?"

Shimamura Yuna had already thought about these things.

She had thought about these issues before the final match even started.

So, the answer is quite simple now.

“It’s not important,” she replied. “I’ll be a free agent shortly after this tournament, and I’m not in a rush to decide which team to join. It’s okay if I play a little less in the regular season, as long as I can make it to the S-series in the third stage.”

"Wow, so confident."

“Not really.”

Actually, I am very confident.

She is very confident now that even if she plays two fewer weeks in the regular season, she can easily join any team with the potential to win the World Championship as a free agent.

After all, he was the champion of both FS and MSI, and was the FMVP in both competitions.

They also generate a lot of buzz.

In addition to two seasons of LCP championships
She now feels that even if she doesn't play the entire third stage and waits until the situation becomes clear before joining a team, she can easily join one.

So she wasn't in a hurry at all.

But her decision not to renew her contract isn't because she wants to get involved with anyone.

It's not about selecting the best teams.

It's not about maximizing profits by clashing with certain teams.

just
I just wanted to take a break.

This year has been a bit too tiring for her.

I'm physically exhausted, and mentally exhausted too.

The intense schedule had a significant impact on her performance, and she wanted to take a break for half a month to a month after the competition to adjust her condition.

If others did this, they might be criticized for having a 'bad attitude towards the game' and be considered to have made a bad choice.

But she is Shimamura Yuna.

She is one of the most high-profile players in the entire League of Legends scene, so no one will question her choice.

No matter what choice she makes, someone will help her wash up.

So, she wanted to use her status to act a little like a diva.

Take this time to go home and rest for a while.

Spend some time with your sister.

Go check out Kujo Akari too.

Of course, you can also take this time to do a live stream and spend time with Akari Kujo.

Akari Kujo did not ask Yuna Shimamura about her choice, or what it would be like.

She simply smiled and said, "That's good."

"I will always be here waiting for you to come back, no matter when."
