Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 138, Section 135: It's hard to end things if they're not together.

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

Originally, everyone thought that Riot Games liked to add some artistic touches when making these documentaries.

For example, someone in the family may have actually died, or the person may not have had a very happy childhood.

But that movie about fists was made like some kind of animated film heroine, how could it all be real?

Who would believe that?

There's definitely some artistic embellishment involved!

That's what everyone originally thought.

But at this moment, when Akari Kujo, who is the person most familiar and closest to Yuna Shimamura, comes out and says that "it is almost all true," everyone is a little confused.

【Huh? It's all really true?】

[Is this a joke, really?]

[Can all of this really be true?]

I'm a little skeptical.

Just then, a comment brought up this topic, so Akari Kujo took the opportunity to elaborate on it and continue the discussion.

"Well, Yuna and I, we've known each other since around middle school?"

"At that time, we had just graduated from elementary school and entered a new environment. We didn't have any friends. We were looking for friends because we wanted to get to know people better."

"With that feeling, perhaps it was fate, I greeted Yuna. Actually, there were many other classmates around, and I had many options to greet. But for some reason, I was attracted to her at first sight."

"So, I tried to greet her proactively, like, 'I'm Akari Kujo, what's your name?'"

"Then, she told me, 'I am Shimamura Yuna, just call me Shimamura.' From that day on, we became best friends."

Akari Kujo has a great talent for storytelling.

Actually, her choice of words and phrases isn't particularly sophisticated or elegant.

But she spoke very logically and eloquently, making it compelling to keep listening.

Although not many people in the live stream understand Japanese, most of them are just watching for entertainment and have difficulty understanding the content.

Even with simultaneous interpretation in the live stream chat, it was still impossible to keep up with Akari Kujo's speaking pace.

But it's not important.

Because not everyone needs to immediately understand what the Nine Articles of Eminence are saying.

Anyway, the video will be translated and edited in due time.

People are here now mainly to enjoy the atmosphere.

After that, Akari Kujo told everyone how she and Yuna Shimamura met and how they got to know each other, as well as what kind of person Yuna Shimamura was in the past.

The content of what he said was almost identical to the version that Shiori Shimamura gave in her interview.

It's just a difference in perspective.

Shiori Shimamura focuses more on the relationship between the two sisters from childhood to adulthood.

The content told by Akari Kujo lacks the section about Yuna Shimamura from childhood to elementary school.

After all, they only met after that.

However, she described in more detail her relationship with Shimamura after junior high school, including Shimamura's behavior during the period after he was diagnosed with depression.

This allowed everyone to see the changes in Shimamura over the years from a different perspective.

Moreover, due to the limitations of length and editing pace, the official Riot Games documentary was actually a bit fast-paced.

This is why people feel it's unreal and somewhat like an artistic creation.

Because the fist deliberately only retained the most emotional and touching parts of Shimamura Yuna's experience.

Their editing was purposeful.

But Akari Kujo's livestream today didn't have the same strong sense of purpose as Riot Games.

She was just reminiscing about some funny things she did with old friends, speaking in a disjointed and casual manner.

The tone was more relaxed and casual.

However, the content is also more detailed.

She recounted how she broke off her friendship with Yuna Shimamura, how she later reconciled with her, and how she helped her buy a computer.

It can be said that, compared to Shiori Shimamura's version of Sakamoto, the main difference in Akari Kujo's version is the addition of a subplot about the level of affection between the two characters.

I must say, it was really interesting to talk about.

At least for the audience members who can understand Japanese, that's their impression.
This is so cute!

Is it possible for a couple to break up and then actively try to get back together?

Although Akari Kujo repeatedly emphasized that it was "just a reconciliation between friends".

But
Does reconciliation between friends really need to go to this extent?

Wait a minute, this doesn't sound like a reconciliation between friends at all!

Even after everyone heard Akari Kujo vividly recount how annoying Yuna Shimamura was during the time she was suffering from depression, and how she couldn't stand it and broke off all ties with her, they suddenly changed their tune and said, "But after so long, I still can't forget her."

Everyone was about to lose their temper.

At that time, some viewers who understood the live stream had already started spamming turtle emojis.

Some people have even started to directly criticize it.

【Girl, that's so cowardly! You're still talking about making up?】

It wasn't your fault back then, so why did you make up with me?

That's way too pathetic of you.

[I've finished making you a turtle.]

Seeing some people directly criticizing her in Japanese comments, Akari Kujo felt a little embarrassed.

This was actually the first time she had shared these things online, and the first time she had shared her story with Yuna Shimamura with everyone.

I don't know why, but the more I share, the more excited I get, and the more interesting it becomes.

Later on, it completely deviated from the original goal of starting the live stream, which was to "regain some of the popularity".

It's fair to say that she's simply enjoying the feeling of sharing her and Shimamura Yuna's story with everyone.

No, actually that was her goal from the beginning, but she just hadn't realized it yet.

By this point, even she herself realized that she wasn't trying to gain attention; she just wanted to show off how good her relationship with Shimamura Yuna was.

But when she shared this, she saw the screen full of people sending turtle emojis, and the Japanese comments were also saying that she felt very inferior, so she felt a little embarrassed.

It seems that she is the one in control of the relationship, and Shimamura Yuna is usually the one who relies on her more.

But looking back on my attitude when I came to reconcile with Shimamura Yuna, it seems like I was practically begging on my knees.

Thinking about it makes me feel a little ashamed.

She felt even more ashamed after seeing the comments on the screen. Embarrassed, she coughed twice and explained, "I only did that because she and I are good friends. I wouldn't do that to just anyone."

Then the comments section erupted with complaints: "So you're just going to be even more of a turtle now!"

Can the turtle woman please stop explaining?

"I've noticed that you Chinese people really like using the character for 'turtle'! I understand the meaning of the character, but generally speaking, you can't just use it casually, right? She's my friend, and I don't want to see her suffer. Is that not allowed?"

Then, she had a verbal battle with everyone for a while.

After that, perhaps feeling that she couldn't explain herself clearly, she stopped arguing.

Let's skip that topic and move on to the story.

After that, it's the story that everyone knows.

It's from Akari Kujo's perspective. She helps Yuna Shimamura buy a computer, and then she looks at Yuna Shimamura and discovers that this girl actually has a lot of talent for gaming, or something like that.
After saying all this, Akari Kujo felt like her mouth was almost dry.

It was still very early, several hours before the competition officially began.

If she were to continue telling the story until the start of the competition, she felt she didn't have the stamina.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Never mind, I'll come back when the competition starts. Let's stop here for now."

"I'll contact Bilibili to see if we can get authorization for the match later and see if we can broadcast You Nai's match live for everyone."

"It would be best if I could watch the game with everyone. If not, I will still stream it live and watch it with you all."

"Everyone, let's cheer for Yuna together."

After saying this, she temporarily ended the live stream.

Only a group of audience members remained, still wanting more after hearing the story.

Wait a minute, they're already running away? That's all they're going to say?

【I feel like there's still something to talk about, like whether anything happened between you two while you were staying in the same room these past few nights】

Hey old man, I think your commentary is more interesting than the game commentary itself!

Yes, now that things have come to this, a small number of viewers who can understand Japanese are already a little reluctant to say goodbye to Akari Kujo.

People initially just watched Akari Kujo's live stream because they had nothing else to do, but they were surprised to find out more.
Wow, this person is actually quite interesting.

Akari Kujo is far superior to Yuna Shimamura, at least in terms of speaking skills.

Not only is she eloquent, she is also beautiful.

She's so beautiful that even when she's paired with Yuna Shimamura, no one would feel any sense of incongruity; they would just think they're a perfect match.

One tall and one short, one girly and one cute, aren't they a perfect match?

Moreover, after these stories were told, everyone had a feeling.

That is.
'You two really should be a couple.'

Previously, people used to play lame jokes like "start a game" every day and also liked to spread rumors.

However, they actually didn't know who this so-called old man from Shimamura Yuna was.

Aside from a few male fans, nobody really cares what this old man did with Shimamura Yuna.

After all, Shimamura Yuna is primarily a professional player who focuses on competitions. She is very beautiful, but since she doesn't need male fans, it's pointless for them to seek attention.

But not caring is one thing.

It's impossible to say how much they support them.

However, after Akari Kujo did a live broadcast and told the story of the two people, many people's opinions changed.

No, it would be really unreasonable if you two didn't become a couple!

You've taken the initiative to come back and ask to get back together, helped someone buy a computer, and are even helping them with psychological support every day.

Who can withstand this offensive?
During the live broadcast, because many people only understood a little and didn't know much Japanese, the public opinion effect was generally limited.

However, less than half an hour after the live stream ended, someone used AI plus a certain degree of manual calibration to produce a video clip.

Furthermore, it was accompanied by a rather sensational headline: "Shimamura-san's old man recounts his experience, detailing how he won over Shimamura-san."

This headline is so sensationalist it's outrageous.

But it's precisely because of these outrageous clickbait titles that people are drawn in to read.

The final is about to start in two or three hours, so let's watch this video as a warm-up.

then
After watching the video, everyone's feeling was...
'Holy crap, is he really that devoted?'

Yes, Akari Kujo may not have realized it when she was talking; she simply wanted to show off her good relationship with Yuna Shimamura and boast to the audience that she was one of Yuna Shimamura's closest people.

But after she told these stories, they seemed a bit too sentimental to the listeners.

Now, no one questions why Shimamura Yuna and Kujo Akari are flirting.

The comments section looks like this.

No wonder Shimamura Yuna insisted on starting a game; even I couldn't resist.

The old man said it wasn't open, but if what she told is true, then I think it would be abnormal if it wasn't open.

[After being upset and leaving, Gui Gui humbly went back to make up, and even helped buy a computer and accompanied me on my live stream. Isn't that a bit too much affection?]

It would be unreasonable not to give it to Shimamura-nee at least once.

[Shimamura-nee, I was wrong. I'll never use that cheesy "start a game" joke again. Now I really hope you two actually start a game.]

It would be difficult to end things if they didn't stay together.

Yes, Akari Kujo came over this morning to chat with everyone about interesting things about Yuna Shimamura, and the biggest result was that everyone felt, "Then I really have to support your relationship," and "If you two don't get married soon, it will be hard to end this."

Yes, there are now a lot more people shipping couples.

After all, how can you not ship couples?

If the documentary produced by Riot Games is the main storyline of Yuna Shimamura's personal biography, telling the story of a beautiful, strong, and tragic character.

The live stream of those nine beautiful and tragic characters was like a side story, telling about the romantic relationships of this beautiful, strong and tragic character outside of the main plot.

The combination of the dark and brutal main storyline and the sweet and romantic side quests is perfect, isn't it?

A complete story needs both grand narratives and tender personal relationships.

All I can say is that this sweetness is so overwhelming that it's almost sickeningly sweet, making our teeth feel like they're about to fall out.

Shimamura Yuna probably never imagined that letting Kujo Akari use her account to stream for fun would end up like this.

At most, she thought that her past, which had already been sensationalized by the fists, would be brought up again by Akari Kujo.

But she had no idea that at this very moment, everyone outside the venue was already shipping themselves with Akari Kujo.

Her focus is entirely on the current match.
On Zeus.

Amidst the anticipation of countless spectators, the competition is about to officially begin.

Today, Akari Kujo will personally be in the live stream to cheer her on.
