Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 136, Section 133: Who's livestreaming?

The video consists of reading this passage, accompanied by a lively gesticulation and a bunch of awkward yet not awkward narration.

The core highlight is this person's deconstruction and reuse of the ID "shimamura".

Actually, although Shimamura is Shimamura's official game ID, not many people probably use it.

It's like how Flandre's ID is called Flandre, but nobody calls him Flandre; everyone just calls him Flandre.

People will always choose a name they like.

The same applies to Shimamura Yuna.

Whether you call me Shimamura or Murashima, I have to call you Shimamura-nee, you have to call me Yuna-nee, I have to call you Oni-King, Oni-Saint, or Wooden Cabinet.

Anyway, there are a lot of nicknames, but nobody actually calls out their ID.

"Shimamura-nee" is already a fairly official and formal title, and quite a few people use it.

Shimamura, well, nobody called for her anymore.

Even the English commentary team prefers to call her "Yuna" rather than "shimamura," perhaps simply because it sounds easier.

Only in particularly serious or formal situations, such as when Shimamura wins a match, will the commentators call out his full name to boost the atmosphere, as Shimamura's ID sounds longer and cooler.

Similar to "Shimamura continues her journey!"

In this specific context, Shimamura sounds more powerful and better than Yuna.

At this point, when the blogger called out this name, it was probably for a similar purpose.

However, it's slightly different.

"It's Numb La vs. Curse Death, did you know? Tomorrow, the one being called the world's number one female player is Numb La."

This video, which deliberately uses an awkward and funny way to call out the players' names and pretends to be serious while giving a warm-up commentary on the event, has made this blogger quite popular online. Last year's Faker vs. Bin video was also created by him.

This person tries to ride the wave of popularity at almost every major tournament, but not every one can achieve the same level of popularity as last year's T1 vs BLG.

You could even say that, aside from last year's surge in popularity, he's been pretty much just another face in the crowd most of the time.

But at this moment, this new video, because it features Yuna Shimamura, has garnered over 100 million views in a short period of time.

It's fair to say that the blogger isn't the interesting one.

People just want to see their favorite people appear in an interesting way. This blogger is essentially just a parasite that feeds on the popularity of the players and the event itself.

The fact that Shimamura Yuna was able to bring such a huge influx of traffic to a blogger who had been struggling to gain popularity for a long time and whose popularity had declined proves her immense popularity in a short period of time.

In addition, various fan-made works and marketing videos related to Yuna Shimamura are emerging endlessly on Bilibili.

The popularity of League of Legends esports, which had already plummeted in China, has been somewhat revitalized thanks to a player like Yuna Shimamura, who is not Chinese and doesn't even play in the LPL.

This is something that the LPL never even considered before the start of this season.

It's safe to say that the staff at Tengjing are absolutely thrilled with the current level of popularity.

They're already contacting LPL teams, trying to persuade any team that wants Shimamura Yuna to buy her quickly.

Just like at the beginning of the year when they facilitated the reorganization of the old IG for the sake of generating buzz.

It's fair to say that the entire LPL is now clinging to Shimamura Yuna as a lifeline for maintaining its popularity.

However, what was unexpected was that such a competition, which was already full of hype and anticipation, still had some surprises before it even started.

And the source of this income was none other than Shimamura Yuna herself.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, just when everyone thought Shimamura Yuna was going out to play her match and prepare for today's Shimamura vs. Zeus match.

But then, I saw a live stream notification from Bilibili.

"The streamer you follow, 'Ghost King Yuna', has started broadcasting."

Upon seeing this, most people were stunned and then expressed great confusion.

Wait, what's going on? Who said they started streaming?
Shimamura Yuna's last live stream was months ago. Why doesn't she usually stream when she has time? And now that the competition is about to start, she's streaming??

With this in mind, many people clicked into Shimamura Yuna's live stream almost instantly, wanting to see what was going on.

When I clicked on it, I didn't see Shimamura Yuna.

Instead, it was a face that was somewhat unfamiliar to them, yet strangely familiar.

That's right, it's nine wise principles.

【Wait, sister, who are you???】

Where is my sister Yuna?

Who are you, anyway?

【Give me back my Yuna sister!!!】

The screen was almost entirely filled with such confused comments.

Akari Kujo simply smiled at this.

She planned to do a live stream today in advance with Yuna Shimamura.

The reason for doing this is very simple.

First, there's the recent deluge of rumors about "starting a game".

Akari Kujo's attitude toward this is very simple.

If it were really opened, that would be one thing.

I haven't even opened it yet, what are you talking about!

The main point is that it's the truth.

However, she didn't care, but Shimamura Yuna did.

While these memes aren't malicious, the idea of ​​playing a game every day does have a certain... negative connotation.

Thinking about it carefully, she and Shimamura Yuna were just good friends, and it really wasn't a big deal.

The more deeply something is hidden, the more it gives people the feeling that "the two have an unusual relationship."

So, after discussing it with Shimamura Yuna, she felt that it would be better to be more open and transparent.

Come out and explain this properly to everyone.

Based on what we just discussed, Shimamura Yuna's live stream has indeed not been broadcast for a long time.

I can understand that it's all for the sake of playing games and competing well.

But with such a high level of popularity in this live stream, you might as well just sit around doing nothing, right?
The BILIBILI live streaming contract is still in effect, so it's not bad to stream occasionally to earn some time, right?
If Shimamura Yuna herself doesn't have time to collect the money, then having Kujo Akari do a live stream for her when she's free would be a good idea.

It just so happens that today is Shimamura Yuna's match.

In the past, whenever Shimamura Yuna was away fighting, the second route, led by Ryujin, would start broadcasting with a bang.

Now that Akari Kujo has started airing, it's hard to say how many viewers she can attract from other secondary streaming services.
At least give those who want to send money to Shimamura Yuna a place to do so, right?
And that's why she's here.

Despite the barrage of question marks and doubts on the screen, Akari Kujo remained unfazed.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that they can't understand it.

She smiled as she introduced herself.

Of course, Akari Kujo is still a very polite person.

Unlike some Japanese Vtubers who come to China to stream and don't speak Chinese, she didn't wait for the translators in the chat to translate for them.

Instead, they thoughtfully prepared translation software on one phone and used the other phone for live streaming.

When she interacts with the audience, she first enters what she says into translation software, then uses the software to translate it into the microphone of the phone she's using for live streaming.

And so, despite some communication barriers, the live stream continued.

"Um... my name is Akari Kujo, and I'm a friend of Shimamura. And that 'old lady' you guys were talking about the other day, that's actually me."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live chat exploded.

The scrolling speed started increasing several times over. [Holy crap??? The old man's taken over the livestream???]

[The old man is so handsome! No wonder Shimamura-san wanted him.]

【Wait, dude, how come the old man actually came out???】

【Gui Gui, since you look like this now, I approve of you two】

I understand Shimamura-san now.

When most people in the live chat heard Akari Kujo say that she was the legendary old woman, and considering Akari Kujo's appearance, their first reaction was, "Then I understand Shimamura."

No, how could I not understand?
Compared to her youthful and cute style, Shimamura looks like a middle school student.

This so-called old man clearly has a more mature and youthful style at first glance.

To put it bluntly, she's more like a proper high school student than Yuna Shimamura.

You could tell from the side view of the photo of the two of them going into a high-end Japanese restaurant that day that Akari Kujo had a great figure and a pretty cute face.

But since it's just a side profile, it's hard to say exactly what it looks like.

Now that everyone has actually seen it, their doubts have been completely dispelled.

Yes
It's really good-looking.

There is no need to question it.

Putting everything else aside, Shimamura's aesthetic sense is definitely not a problem.

Then everyone can rest assured.

Akari Kujo didn't quite understand what the comments were saying.

However, thanks to the few Chinese words she knew and the comments that were being chatted with her in Japanese, she was able to roughly understand what the comments were discussing.

So she picked out some comments and answered some questions.

[Old man, did Shimamura really open a business with you?]

This is the question that Jiu Tiao most wants to answer today.

Upon seeing this Japanese SC message sent to her, she immediately replied, "Of course it's not open! No, actually, I wanted to say this yesterday, you guys are completely spreading rumors."

"If I really did 'play a game' with her, I don't think there's anything to say. The problem is, we're just ordinary, pure friends right now."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and took a picture of the surrounding environment.

First, he took a picture of his own bed, and then he took a very clear picture of Shimamura Yuna's bed, which was at a distance from his own.

While taking pictures, she explained, "Look, this is the bed I'm sleeping in now, and that's You Nai's bed."

"Yuna is washing up in the bathroom right now. But, as you can see, our bed isn't a single piece; we have separate beds."

Akari Kujo explained this to the audience, but their attention was completely elsewhere.

【No, you two really live together???】

[Are you two really living together?]

The beds aren't that far apart; it's just a matter of changing the bed. What's so convincing about that?

Many comments were deliberately sent in a way that Akari Kujo could understand, which is Japanese.

Seeing these comments, Akari Kujo felt like she was about to laugh out loud.

She felt that all the people in the comments were definitely virgins.

"Hey guys, when you go out to stay, you share a room with two beds, does that mean you're playing a game together?"

Upon hearing this, the commenters immediately replied, "That's right, we just played one game."

Afterwards, Akari Kujo continued to explain to everyone, saying, "I really didn't talk to her."

Then the comments section would try to refute this in various ways, saying, "That means it's open."

After refuting everyone's claims, Akari Kujo gradually began to understand the nature of these people.

She discovered that these people simply loved to argue; if she said it wasn't open, they would insist on saying it was.

It's about constantly explaining yourself and seeing how embarrassed you look.

Thinking of this, she smiled with relief.

Why are all the viewers in Yuna's live stream like this?

She was slightly puzzled by this, but chose not to argue.

He sighed casually and then said, "Since you've decided to open it up, then let's open it up."

"Anyway, I wouldn't mind playing a game, but I didn't actually play one. I'm just stating the facts."

Upon hearing this, the scrolling speed of the comments section immediately increased several times over.

[Are you really not bothered?]

【Are you really not bothered? ? ? 】

【No, are you serious? ???】

Just now, everyone genuinely thought that Akari Kujo was there to explain, which is why they tried to force a romantic pairing on her to annoy her.

When I turned around, I saw that Akari Kujo had said something that was roughly equivalent to, "I don't hate this kind of thing, it's just that I really don't have anything to eat right now."

Now everyone was getting a little restless.

People started digging deeper, asking questions like, "What's your relationship?" and "Are you two really dating?"

Kujo Akari was actually deliberately trying to create a dramatic effect during the live stream.

Although she doesn't do live streaming, her naturally outgoing personality and good family upbringing mean that, aside from her gaming skills, she's actually much better than Shimamura Yuna in terms of humor and entertainment value.

They are eloquent and articulate, and very outgoing.

These skills and expertise are well-suited for live streaming.

Having realized that these comments were simply meant to contradict her, she felt that instead of continuing to babble on and on, only to make things worse, she might as well just go along with what the comments were saying.

Just like it is now.

When I said that the two of them had no relationship, they insisted that they did.

But if I were to give them a direct, suggestive hint now, they wouldn't believe me and would think it's a bit fake.

At the same time, I felt a little anxious, thinking, "What if it's true?"

These comments reflect this mentality.

Akari Kujo's viewers in the live stream were smirking at her own hints, a smug smile spreading across their faces.

She snorted and said, "I told you, we're just friends, very ordinary and innocent friends."

Are they true friends?

Too innocent.

Too ordinary.

[No, does that mean you can actually get to eat it if you want to?]

After that, Akari Kujo stopped responding to questions about their relationship.

Instead, we went straight back to today's main topic.

"I came here today because I was thinking that since You Nai went to the competition, I might as well stay at the hotel and do a live broadcast for everyone."

"If I have any important matches in the future and I have the time, I will do a live broadcast for everyone, just like today."

"If you all want to cheer for Yuna together, you can come to the live stream and watch the match with me~"

"Before the match starts, if you have any questions about Yuna, feel free to ask me in the comments. I'll answer them if I can."
