Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 137, Section 134: Yuna is back!

On the morning of the day Shimamura Yuna's final match began, after Shimamura Yuna hadn't broadcasted for several months.
No one expected that Shimamura Yuna's live stream would be taken over by her husband.

I won't say much more, nor will I go on about anything else. Let's just talk about what Akari Kujo said: "If you have any questions about Yuna Shimamura, you can ask me."

That alone is enough to pique everyone's curiosity.

Putting everything else aside, Shimamura Yuna is indeed someone who rarely chats with people like a typical virtual YouTuber.

She rarely talks about her real-life situation.

Whether it's her life experiences or her daily life, it doesn't matter.

She seems to completely separate her live streams from her personal life.

The first time people truly learned about her life was in the promotional documentary released by Riot Games.

It was through that documentary that many people learned about Yuna Shimamura's past experiences for the first time.

However, the compelling backstory only fueled everyone's curiosity.

People are now more interested in knowing more details about Yuna Shimamura's past.

Just then, Shimamura Yuna came out of the bathroom after washing up.

She walked up to the camera on Akari Kujo's phone during her live stream and glanced at it casually.

Then he sighed and said, "Don't say anything nonsense to them. Even if it's a live broadcast, you have to be careful."

Akari Kujo nodded perfunctorily twice and said, "Okay, I understand. Just focus on your competition, I'll cheer you on from the hotel."

Although Shimamura Yuna had no belief that Kujo Akari would behave herself and not say anything as she requested.

However, she also believed that Akari Kujo probably knew her limits and would keep the line in place to a level where she would feel a little embarrassed or ashamed, but not so much that she would completely lose her temper.

This guy knows himself too well.
One's bottom line and one's temper.

She knew what her red line was.

If possible, she would prefer that Akari Kujo not say anything to the audience.

But she could also tell that the other party had given so many seemingly legitimate reasons for coming to the live stream, such as "to help maintain the popularity of your live stream", "to prevent all the money from being taken by other secondary streams", and "to explain our relationship to the audience".

She gave many seemingly legitimate reasons.

But in fact, there is only one core reason.

'She just wanted to show off to my audience how good our relationship is.'

Yes, Shimamura Yuna has already realized this.

Moreover, she can understand Akari Kujo's ideas.

Regardless, the two of them were indeed among the closest of friends.

If Shimamura Yuna were to choose the person she is closest to in the world right now, her first choice would probably be her older sister.

The second option is probably nine reasonable points.

Further down the line are Inoue Rei and her teammates at the CFO level.

Akari Kujo, who had been a close friend of mine before I even became a professional player, suddenly became so famous, a professional player known all over the world.

She would naturally feel very proud.

And this sense of pride is probably something they want to share with others.

Especially wanting to share with such a large number of fans.

"See, my friend is so amazing."

"See? Yuna is just that strong."

Yuna Shimamura found this acceptable.

After all, Akari Kujo has helped me so much all this time and is indeed my closest person. If she wants to show off her relationship with me to the audience, then let her be.

With that in mind, she didn't hesitate and decided to get up and leave, preparing to head to the finals venue with her team.

But the viewers in the live stream went crazy after hearing Shimamura Yuna's voice.

Being able to feel the presence of Yuna Shimamura in this live stream is something they haven't experienced in a long time.

As a result, everyone became somewhat excited.

[Old man, can we see Shimamura-san for a moment?]

I think I heard Shimamura-san's voice.

Could we please have Shimamura-san make an appearance?

[Let Shimamura-san come over and show us.]

Someone even made a 10000 RMB SC call, saying in Japanese: "Old man, could you turn the camera around and look at Shimamura-san so she can say hello to us? Thank you."

Actually, Akari Kujo didn't know how much this red SC actually cost.

Or rather, even if she understood, it wouldn't mean much to her, and she wouldn't care much about it.

She was simply content with being called "old man".

So, he immediately and obediently carried out the instruction.

She turned her phone camera towards Shimamura Yuna, who had just finished washing up and getting dressed, and said, "Come on, Yuna, say hello to everyone."

At this time, Shimamura Yuna had not yet gone to the venue to do her makeup or hairstyle.

She looked rather lazy, which was completely different from her usual neat and sophisticated appearance.

She's still so cute, still so beautiful.

However, compared to the usual Shimamura Yuna, she has a completely different side.

When everyone saw Shimamura Yuna in the live stream after a long time, they immediately went crazy.

[Holy crap, Yuna-nee, I've missed you so much!]

[Yuna, waaaaah, I've been waiting for you here for so long, why haven't you come back to stream?]

【We've finally waited for you, Yuna! We've been waiting so long!】

I miss you, Yuna.

Even the moment Shimamura appeared on camera, several long-time viewers of Shimamura's live stream started sending her gifts.

However, Shimamura Yuna is destined not to say much to these spectators today, since there is still a match to play later.

She just sighed helplessly, then smiled at the camera.

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

"I haven't been streaming for a while because of the competition. I'm about to head to the competition venue, so I won't have much time to chat with everyone here."

"However, in short, I am very grateful for everyone's support and recognition. I will try my best to give a performance that everyone likes in today's game."

"Alright, that's about it. See you at the stadium later."

After saying that, she gave Akari Kujo a look, indicating that her part was over.

So Akari Kujo turned the camera back to herself, smiled at the viewers in the live stream, and said, "How about it, are you satisfied? It's been a long time since we've seen your Shimamura-nee, you must be very happy, right?"

The answer from everyone is of course yes.
[Not enough! Shimamura-san's brief appearance on screen is hardly enough.]

That's definitely not enough!

[Shimamura-nee, please stop playing the game and just stream for us, okay? I don't want Shimamura as a pro player, I want Oni-King Yuna!]

It's been a long time since we've seen Shimamura-san in the live stream.

Although everyone said that, they all knew in their hearts that it was impossible to keep Shimamura Yuna from leaving. In the past few days, as Shimamura Yuna went to play professionally, everyone felt that the distance between Shimamura Yuna and everyone else was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

Although she wasn't someone who was very open and honest with the audience before.

However, being able to stream live to you every day, and chat with you for a bit each day, letting you know what she's doing, makes her feel closer to you than when she was a professional player and you didn't know what she was doing except for the matches.

Seeing Shimamura Yuna in the live stream again after so long brought back so many memories for everyone.

The comments were deliberately using old jokes that only viewers from the old live streams would understand, to reminisce about the former Ghost King Yuna and Shimamura Yuna before she became a professional player.

She wasn't as famous back then as she is now, and there was more controversy surrounding her abilities.

But back then, audiences didn't crave as much as they do now.

All they wanted was to see Yuna Shimamura appear in the live stream every day on time.

Then, listening to Shimamura Yuna's gentle voice, listening to her Chinese with a slight colonel's accent, listening to her talk and chat with everyone.

It's a bit boring to rank up on the Korean server; there's not much fun to be had, and the tone of voice isn't very passionate.

But it makes people feel very at ease.

Occasionally, Yuna Shimamura would be a little late to start the broadcast.

Someone might say, "Lazy dog, you still know how to come."

By then, everyone had gotten used to Shimamura Yuna's livestreaming style, which involved leaving early and arriving late due to health reasons and taking days off from time to time.

Viewers would occasionally hurl a curse or make a comment, but everyone always felt that even if Shimamura Yuna took a day or two off, she would eventually come back.

But back then, no one probably expected that this lazy dog ​​would actually stop coming one day.

Many longtime viewers of Yuna Shimamura's live streams felt very uncomfortable when she first stopped broadcasting.

I feel like something is missing from my life.

I feel like a very important part is missing from my daily life.

But they can only gradually get used to it, no matter what.

Because of Shimamura Yuna, we are moving towards even farther places.

She is striving to do better.

Therefore, they had no reason to let Shimamura Yuna stay in the same place with them.

That's too selfish; it's a "self-centered" approach.

They could only endure this loneliness while silently watching over Shimamura as a professional player and wishing her all the best.

Now, seeing Shimamura Yuna back in the live stream after so long has made these longtime viewers very happy.

Everyone was making jokes and chatting.

feel
The village that once stood there has returned.

but.
The village that once stood there will soon be scattered again.

After a wave of nostalgia and attempts to hold on, the comments section was filled with blessings.

[Yuna, I hope today's match goes well!]

[Wishing Shimamura-san can dominate Cursed Kyoto like the back of her hand, and wishing Yuna-san can unleash her full potential today!]

[Shimamura is forever awesome, Yuna is the true hope of our LPL]

We LPL viewers will all support you, Yuna!

The expectations that Shimamura Yuna had felt before were now being presented in the live broadcast room in an incredibly definite way.

Akari Kujo doesn't quite understand the feelings that Yuna Shimamura's audience has for her.

However, from everyone's writings, from the few words and phrases that I could understand a little bit, I could make sense of it all.
She still felt it.

Everyone loves Yuna Shimamura.

This emotion even moved her somewhat.

She said to Shimamura Yuna, who was about to leave the hotel room, "For the sake of your viewers in the live stream, you have to do your best today."

Yuna Shimamura smiled and nodded: "Of course."

After that, as if she had stepped into a battlefield, she closed the door and left the hotel room.

After Shimamura Yuna left, the viewers in the live stream were still reeling from the loss and feeling a sense of profound sadness.

Akari Kujo sensed that the atmosphere in the live stream was somewhat melancholic.

So, they proactively changed the subject.

"Everyone, when we talk about Yuna, do you all know anything about it?"

"Ah, actually... she was very different before than she is now. You know that?"

Upon hearing this, many viewers in the live chat immediately began to complain.

Do you know any other funny stories about Yuna?

[Old man: Today I'm going to tell you a funny story about Shimamura.]

Wow, the old man's not bad; he really knows what we want to see.

Under Akari Kujo's guidance, everyone gradually stopped being so fixated on Yuna Shimamura.

To be honest, although Shimamura Yuna hasn't streamed for a long time, her popularity actually declined quite a bit towards the end of her streaming career.

The main reason is that playing high-elo games on the Korean server doesn't create much entertainment value, plus Shimamura Yuna is a rather reserved person who doesn't like to create drama.

After her early streams, which were so similar to those of Da Sima, became highly refined, the kind of streams that only truly devoted fans could watch.

The number of views for the occasional clips is quite good.

But the number of viewers in the live stream was really only a few thousand.

Compared to that live broadcast that had no entertainment value, it would have been much more interesting for Akari Kujo to tell some interesting stories about Yuna Shimamura.

At that moment, as soon as Akari Kujo arrived, everyone immediately began to vent their long-suppressed curiosity.

The very first question is...
[Old man, what exactly is your relationship with Shimamura-san? Why did you come to Korea with her this time, and even stay together? Are you really in that kind of relationship?]

When Akari Kujo saw the question in the comments, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I think I just said that if I really play a game with her, I won't hold back."

"I don't think she makes a living by providing you with unfounded fantasies, but unfortunately, she's actually a very proud person, isn't she?"

"So, she and I are just friends. We've known each other since we were very young. I guess you could say I'm her best friend since she was little. And right now, because of some things, our relationship is probably a little closer than that of ordinary friends. Hehe, at least for now."

Akari Kujo insisted on using the phrase "a little more intimate" with the audience.

Anyway, I'm just being cheeky on purpose, trying to get some comments from the live chat.

[For now, right?]

[Oh my god, the old man really wants to eat. Shimamura-nee has to check her rear end every night.]

"Old man, please be gentle. It hurts me."

[Shimamura-san is in danger]

Following this topic, someone else posted a question on SC.

[Old man, that documentary Riot Games made a while ago was really popular online, and I was deeply moved after watching it. As Shimamura's friend, can you tell us how much of that documentary is true and how much is fake?]

Upon seeing the question, Akari Kujo immediately replied, "Oh, that. Well, basically all of it is true."
