Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 140, Section 137: Kujo's Neutral Explanation

At this moment, Akari Kujo was completely unaware that she had unknowingly taken in a godson.

Little did she know that her ungrateful adopted son was currently seething with hatred for her because he was possessive of her food.

At this moment, her attention was entirely focused on cheering on Shimamura Yuna.

At this time, with the help of her team, she found a computer and network environment nearby that she could use for live streaming. Meanwhile, Bilibili found her a simultaneous interpreter.

And so, in a completely unfamiliar situation, Akari Kujo began her first "match commentary".

After a lot of fuss about starting the show, seeing the screen full of Chinese comments, Akari Kujo was a little unsure of what to say.

After thinking for a long time, she said only one sentence: "I don't think I know much about League of Legends."

As a typical Japanese person, and a Japanese person whose real life is significantly more fulfilling than their online world.

Kujo Akari basically doesn't have any niche interests online.

When she has free time, she plays games to relax, but only games like Valorant and Apex Legends.

For her, League of Legends was a completely unfamiliar game.

Although after Shimamura Yuna started playing League of Legends, she also tried it out to understand her friend's hobby.

However, it's impossible to be considered an expert in such a short time.

No.
To be precise, she couldn't even recognize all the heroes.

Previously, she had never thought about making a living from League of Legends. She only learned about the game so that she could understand what Shimamura Yuna was playing.

In other words, Shimamura Yuna should be able to understand which hero she plays and what they can do, right?

She always knew this level of knowledge.

But when asked to commentate on a match, she seemed a bit lost.

What to say?

What should I talk about?

The translator who was on the live stream with her immediately came to her rescue when she heard what she said.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry too much about professionalism. People come here to watch the game not for professionalism, but just to watch the game with you."

"Just think of it as joining everyone in cheering on Ms. Shimamura. Simply express your thoughts honestly."

"People come to see you not because they want to hear your particularly professional explanations."

Hearing this, Akari Kujo was relieved.

Is it just about expressing one's feelings?
Okay, then there's no problem!
If it doesn't involve technical content, Kujo Akari is quite confident in his speaking skills.

For example, right now, during halftime before the match, she shared a "funny little story about Yuna Shimamura".

"Well, now that things have come to this, there's no way to hide it anymore, so I can say some things now."

"Well, you all probably know that Yuna is actually a little crybaby, right? She often starts crying while playing."

"Well, at the beginning, she needed me to stay with her because of this. I was with her the whole time during her first live stream. She cried for a while halfway through the stream, and after she finished crying and ended the stream, she still wanted me to stay with her for another day."

"So? You didn't know she was like this, did you?"

Other commentators, when telling anecdotes about the players, all talked about things related to the competition and the game.

Akari Kujo was telling funny stories about the contestants, but the first thing she did was boast about some intimate anecdotes about herself and Yuna Shimamura.

But unfortunately, it seems like everyone just loves listening to this.

[Shimamura-san is so cute!]

[Waaaaah, why is Shimamura-san so unlovable to us viewers?]

[You guys aren't old men, so of course Shimamura-nee can't show you her cute side.]

To be honest, I'm not jealous at all that the old man gets to eat. The way he's licking it, doesn't he deserve to eat?

The translator was actually given this job at the last minute.

But instead of complaining, she felt extremely excited.

because
This was so sweet, it made her swoon.

As she translated Akari Kujo's words for the live chat, she tried her best to control herself from letting out a maternal laugh.

Afterwards, Akari Kujo shared more interesting anecdotes about Shimamura with the viewers in the live chat.

"It's true that she didn't play games much before. She was just an ordinary girl. In other words, her hobbies and her usual way of doing things were all very ordinary. I never expected that she would later become a professional player."

"She suddenly said she wanted to play League of Legends, which really surprised me. You know, in Japan, hardly anyone plays League of Legends; it's a very niche and unpopular game. For someone who doesn't even play popular games to suddenly say she wants to play an unpopular game is just..."

She kept telling funny little stories, and everyone listened with great interest.

The biggest takeaway is that the more I listen, the more I realize that the relationship between these two is truly extraordinary.

They are at least closer friends than ordinary friends.

In some ways, they might even be close to being family.

Everyone enjoyed it as if they were listening to a story.

Gradually, thanks to these humorous contents, the number of viewers in "Oni-Oh Yuna's" live stream, which was taken over by Akari Kujo, exceeded 7.

They're already among the most popular commentators on the second-stream platform.

While telling the story, they finally managed to get through until the competition officially started.

"Ah! It's starting!"

As the BP interface appeared on the screen, Akari Kujo immediately brought her thoughts back to reality.

There will be no more interesting stories about Shimamura Yuna.

Yes, it's simply about giving your friends your all.

As mentioned before, she doesn't understand the game.

She doesn't understand League of Legends.

However, she understood Shimamura Yuna.

In the first game, facing the Zeus player's choice of Rumble, Shimamura Yuna picked Jayce as a counter-pick.

Upon seeing this hero, Akari Kujo immediately shared her opinion: "This is a character that Nami plays quite often."

At this point, the translator next to her seemed to feel that the explanation was a bit dry.

So, someone asked a guiding question from the side: "Um, Ms. Kujo, what do you think will happen in this match? You don't need to make a very accurate judgment, but what's your opinion?"

After thinking for a moment, Akari Kujo replied firmly, "I think so."

"With her, she must be invincible."

She spoke with exceptional firmness.

She doesn't understand League of Legends, but she understands that people who are important to her need to have a heart of faith.

This unwavering belief was also conveyed to the audience.

After that, her entire commentary was completely devoid of game understanding; it was all just a matter of trust.

As soon as she logged on, she said, "I feel that Yuna is no worse than anyone else. Yuna should be even more powerful than this Zeus. Theoretically, that should be the case, because Yuna is a genius, isn't she?"

Then, in the first wave, Shimamura Yuna saw that the exchange of blows was slightly better than Zeus's, and Kujo Akari immediately stood up and cheered.

"Great! Yuna, awesome! That's the feeling!"

"That's right! I told you that You Nai is no less than Zeus!"

Her overly emotional attitude left everyone a little confused.

No, sis, you only gained a slight advantage in the laning phase, right?

Didn't we make a small profit from the first wave of blood transfusions?
Is it really necessary to get so worked up?

Everyone was a little confused. However, before Kujo Akari could be happy for long, she suddenly realized, "How come Shimamura Yuna's finishing blows were slightly outmatched by one or two?"

How come Shimamura Yuna looked so fierce just now, but she ended up being one step behind in finishing off the enemy?
"Wait, wait, something doesn't feel right. Why does it seem like You Nai doesn't have any advantages? Can anyone who knows explain this?"

This clearly shows that Akari Kujo doesn't understand League of Legends at all.

She was basically a complete novice.

Let's not even talk about commentary.

She hadn't even played two rounds of the game.

However, people don't come to see her for professional commentary.

It was just to see how the relatives would react.

From this perspective, Akari Kujo's explanation is simply perfect.

It focuses on a completely subjective and personal evaluation, devoid of any objective or neutral assessment.

Purely "island-style explanation".

Shimamura Yuna got excited and started shouting as soon as she had a slight advantage.

Once the CFO calmed down a little, she was as happy as if the whole game was about to be won.

Conversely, when CFO was solo killed by HLE in the bottom lane, she turned ashen-faced and collapsed into her chair.

"No, how could this be?"

"This isn't good, is it? If this is the case, it seems like we won't be able to hold on until the end?"

"Sigh, this probably won't work."

"Oh no, no, no, I can't watch anymore! What's going on? Why is the bot lane still dying?!"

"Ugh, I'm so angry! This shouldn't be happening! This isn't right!"

As everyone watched Akari Kujo mutter to herself, giving such an immersive explanation, they all started to lose their composure.

The old man is too neutral.

The old man has given the order: the bot lane is no longer allowed to feed!

[Oh my god, is Doggo trying to drive the old man crazy?]

It has to be said that there is indeed a significant gap in hard skills between HLE and the CFO.

Judging from the first game, the situation was quite classic.

Rumble and Jayce in the top lane are evenly matched. Shimamura Yuna is unlikely to gain any advantage over Zeus, but she won't be completely crushed by him either.

The match looked similar to the previous BO3. In terms of laning skills alone, these two are evenly matched, and neither can gain the upper hand.

However, while their abilities are roughly equal, the abilities of the other CFOs may not be so comparable.

HongQ, a newcomer in the mid lane, performed surprisingly well. He played Taliyah against Zeka's Azir and had no disadvantages, even showing a slight advantage.

Both his last-hitting ability and health are very good.

The problem is that CFO's bot lane was completely destroyed during the laning phase.

The bottom lane made some mistakes in trying to reach level 2 first, which resulted in them losing a significant amount of health in the trade.

Then, HLE's Alistar found an opportunity and used Flash to knock him up twice, then finished him off with a combo from the AD carry.

At level three, the bottom lane secured a solo kill.

At this point, from the CFO's perspective, the game has already caused a major incident.

Akari Kujo didn't quite understand what was happening in the game.

I don't understand why things are like this now.

All she knew was that the CFO was now at a disadvantage.

As for Akari Kujo, she wholeheartedly believed that as long as Yuna Shimamura could give it her all, there was no opponent she couldn't defeat.

However, as the game progresses, she will realize something.

The idealistic perspectives that Japanese people perceive in anime are often impractical.

First it was heavy and left no room for compromise.

Before the competition, everyone said that HLE was the stronger team in terms of raw strength, and that HLE was a team with a significant gap in strength in this Pioneer Tournament.

The intensity of this gap is clearly not something that friendship, bonds, or passion can overcome.

If that were possible, then the LPL wouldn't have been crushed by the LCK for three consecutive years.

oh.
It's not entirely accurate to say that LPL teams don't have much of a bond of friendship.

However, none of this matters.

Importantly, HLE crushed the CFO in the very first game, almost effortlessly.

From beginning to end, Shimamura Yuna gave the impression that she was evenly matched with Zeus in the laning phase, with no significant economic advantage, but not bad either.

However, when it comes to team fights, the entire team is no match for HLE at all.

With wave after wave of team fight losses, Shimamura Yuna fell further and further behind Zeus in terms of personal economy.

Then came the complete collapse of the team battle.

Does Shimamura Yuna have any pots?
I can't really say for sure.

But, can it win?

Can't win.

That's it.

Viewers watching the live stream didn't seem particularly sad when they saw this scene.

After all, it's only natural that the CFO can't beat HLE; they could guess that without even fighting.

However, they are still hoping for a miracle.

They were hoping that the match would at least be a little more exciting, that they could see the CFO fight back, and that they could see a glimmer of miracle and hope.

However, the reality is that the result did not exceed expectations at all.

HLE truly crushed the CFO; there was no surprise or unexpected outcome.

It's so obvious that it even feels a bit realistic and boring.

Sigh, it looks like the first game will be a 3-0 victory.

[LCK is really strong this year. I have no idea how CFO is going to win.]

[Shimamura's playstyle seems to be incredibly effective against other teams, but it's like hitting cotton wool when she's hitting Zeus; it's completely useless.]

[It feels like it's really over. I should have done my homework for a few days now, but it's been completely useless.]

After the first game ended with a large score and was quickly won, the comments were almost unanimously pessimistic.

But at this time, Akari Kujo did not change her attitude.

Although she was somewhat downcast after witnessing the game being crushed and eliminated.

But she quickly cheered up.

"Don't rush. This is only the first game."

"But she always manages to do things that others can't."

"Just like before Yuna, no one could have imagined that female players could also play professionally."

"But she can create miracles."

Akari Kujo's eyes were firm, filled with trust in Yuna Shimamura.
