Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 32, Section 31: Designing the Leather Suit
She no longer asks questions like "Will it work to do live streaming in China?" or "Why not just stream Valorant?"

Instead, they asked directly, "Have you started broadcasting yet?"

This question touches on a sensitive spot for Shimamura Yuna.

Despite having a clear plan for the future of live streaming, including the special privileges Japanese girls have on Bilibili and her own natural advantages as a streamer.
She had even planned out how to use her streamer status as a stepping stone to pursue a professional career.

However, if you ask her "Have you started broadcasting yet?", she can still answer "No".

If she had to explain why, she could come up with many reasons.

"My current skill level isn't high enough." "I'm not fully prepared yet." "It would be best to do some pre-broadcast video promotion before going live."
And so on and so forth, a whole host of seemingly reasonable and self-evident reasons.

However, she knew in her heart that these were just excuses.

If we have to talk about rank, she's already a Grandmaster, which is a rank higher than most League of Legends streamers on Bilibili before she starts streaming.

If we're talking about creating promotional videos, she should start recording footage now, so she can record while livestreaming.

At worst, I'll just treat it as a solo stream. It's great if people watch, but it won't matter if no one watches.

But in reality, she's just playing games like an idiot right now, and she's not doing anything else besides playing games.

There was no live streaming, no recording of materials, and no video editing; everything was stagnant.

Any seemingly reasonable reason is just an excuse for "not wanting to do a live stream".

Her depression in this life, and the slight social anxiety she had in her previous life, made her somewhat resistant to, or even fearful of, live streaming.

She was worried that if she went live, she might get yelled at by the comments and lose control of her emotions, and then burst into tears.

It's one thing to cry while playing a game, but to cry in front of the live chat is truly embarrassing.

Or rather, I need to talk a lot in order to do a good job of live streaming.

But what if I can't say it?
She has no talent in this area, and she gets bored when playing games. For her, doing live streaming is something that goes against her instincts.

all in all.
When faced with something she doesn't really want to do, she'll start brainstorming all sorts of reasonable excuses to postpone it.

Like I just said, it's about "not being skilled enough" and "needing to be more prepared," etc.
But these are just excuses for procrastination.

Akari Kujo knows her best friend too well.

When she saw Shimamura Yuna's shifty eyes, as if she had done something wrong, she knew that this girl had probably been busy playing games these days and hadn't prepared anything for the live stream.

Only at times like this would she think, 'As expected, this person is still the same Shimamura Yuna I know.'

Even if they have some talent, they tend to avoid or procrastinate when doing things, and they will be evasive when pointed out.

These are all things that the Shimamura Yuna she knew would do.

She felt somewhat helpless, but at the same time, she felt it was just right.

Yuna Shimamura is now very knowledgeable about games and Chinese, which means that the issues that Akari Kujo originally thought were caused by cross-border issues may not be such big problems.

Yuna Shimamura was able to solve these problems on her own.

Besides that, there are some problems that she might not be able to solve independently right now, and those are the things she can help with.

With that in mind, she said to Shimamura Yuna, "I think I can help you if you want to do a live stream."

"Help me?" Shimamura Yuna tilted her head, somewhat confused. "What does that mean?"

Akari Kujo said, "To say I would help you would be a bit presumptuous."

"I'm just saying that I want to offer some help to your live stream in my own way. But whether you take my help or whether you think I can really help you is up to you. You can decide after you see the results I've given you."

"I'll contact you on LINE in a couple of days to explain this in detail. Now I'll go back and prepare. Is that alright?"

Shimamura Yuna was somewhat confused by her explanation.

However, considering that the other person was her friend, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Just nodded.

"Then, I'm leaving it to you?"

Akari Kujo gave a bright smile, rubbed her hands together, and nodded: "That's right. By the way, before I leave, I'd like to ask you something."

Yuna Shimamura: "What is it?"

Akari Kujo: "Is this vampire-like character you've been playing all day your favorite character?" Yuna Shimamura nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

"In terms of gameplay, yes."

Kujo Akari: "Okay, I understand."

"Then I'll go back first."

After saying this, she turned around and left Shimamura Yuna's room.

A moment later, her sister's voice and her own could be heard from outside.

"Huh? Aren't you staying for dinner today, Akari-chan?"

"No! Thank you for your kindness, but I have something urgent to do back home."

"Really? Well, you can come visit us more often next time you have time~ You two seem to be getting along really well now, right?"

"Hehe, it's alright. Anyway, I'll come again next time. Goodbye, Shimamura-neechan."

Goodbye, Akari.

Then, with the sound of a door opening and closing, Akari Kujo's voice completely disappeared.

Shimamura Yuna was left alone in the room, bewildered.

She said she would help me.

'But how can she help me?'

She had some expectations and some curiosity about this.

However, for now, all we can do is wait.

With that in mind, she continued to focus on the task at hand.

Meanwhile, after returning home, Akari Kujo couldn't wait to start her work.

She wasn't just saying she wanted to help Shimamura Yuna; she wasn't making it up.

She doesn't play games and doesn't understand Chinese.

However, she knows how to draw.

With the support of her family, she began learning to draw at a very young age, and until recently, she has continued to refine and improve her skills as a hobby.

Although sometimes she feels that "it's a useless skill," after all, it seems that her parents would most likely not allow her to become an illustrator or comic artist.

According to her parents, "Don't do a job that harms your health and has no future. Just treat it as a hobby."

But fueled by a certain obsession, they continued to make connections and exert themselves on their own.

Unexpectedly, one day I was able to use this skill in this way.

Fueled by emotion, as soon as she got home, Akari Kujo began using her graphics tablet to draw "the Shimamura Yuna in her heart".

This took up almost all of her free time.

By the evening of the third day, she had finally finished the first draft.

A white-haired, red-eyed vampire loli with sharp fangs and a touch of melancholy appeared on the canvas of her monitor.

"Perfect!"

This not only corresponds to the petite and melancholic characteristics of the real-life Yuna Shimamura.

Furthermore, it incorporates the setting of Shimamura Yuna's love for vampires, which is equivalent to a certain artistic modification.

Finally, this illustration of the vampire loli was drawn.

That's right.

This is the "suit" she designed for Yuna Shimamura.

I'm asking for votes and to keep reading.

Today marks the official start of the first round, and the results seem to be decided next Tuesday. If you find it enjoyable, I hope you'll continue reading in the next few days and not let it sit unfinished. Thank you so much QAQ
