Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 52, Section 51: Chasing the Shining One
After laughing like that for a while, Su Qing suddenly realized something.

A while ago, a Japanese university classmate of hers, many years after graduation, suddenly came to her internet cafe to see her and asked her to do something for him.

She was quite happy at the time, thinking it was a good thing to be able to reconnect with her old friends.

But after actually hearing the other party's needs, my first reaction was, "How can I help you? I'm just an internet cafe owner, I don't have that kind of ability," and then I politely declined.

But the other party was persistent and emphasized before leaving, "If you have any solutions, please contact us."

Looking back now, the other person didn't necessarily want her help; they were just desperate and cast a wide net for help in a panic.

However, it was just a coincidence.
"If this Demon King Yuna is really the person I'm thinking of, then wouldn't I be able to help her out?"

She had intended to call the guy immediately, saying, "Maybe I can help you."

But just as he was about to dial the number, he stopped.

After hesitating for a while, Su Qing finally put down her phone, sighed, and muttered to herself, "Let's talk about it again in a while."

Let me observe for a while longer.

Thinking of this, she silently clicked the follow button on the "Ghost King Yuna" account.

The incident continues to gain traction online.

Shimamura Yuna, one of the parties involved in the incident, was unaware of it at the time.

The reason is that after the live broadcast ended that day, her sister took her to the hospital the next day for a routine check-up on depression.

Naturally, the results of this examination were particularly gratifying.

The doctor no longer repeats the same things over and over again: "Her condition needs further observation," "Pay close attention to her emotions," and "She must continue taking her medication."

Instead, they unusually gave the judgment and conclusion that "although the physical examination still seems to have some problems, the mental state has improved significantly."

My sister was very happy.

Shimamura Yuna breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like I did pretty well."

Only she herself knew that her mental state was extremely unstable after she stopped taking the medication.

However, compared to the past Shimamura Yuna, she now has a strong subjective desire to "become better" rather than passively sinking into despair.

So she put on a show for the doctor.

Make yourself appear calm and positive.

This was to reassure the doctor, and even more so to reassure my sister.

On the way home, my sister was clearly in a good mood.

She hummed a tune as she drove, the melody being "AOI" by the Fish Rhyme Band.

For her, Shimamura Yuna's improvement was like the end of a torment that had lasted for years.

It's like being pulled out of a quagmire of pain by someone.

From the endless darkness, a ray of light called hope shone forth.

All the vague and unclear future now has a clear expectation.

Along the way, she asked Shimamura Yuna many questions, such as if she wanted to go back to finish high school if her condition improved next year.

He also asked her what she wanted to do in the future.

She hadn't discussed these topics with Shimamura Yuna for a long time.

Taking this opportunity, Shimamura Yuna also tested her sister's attitude.

"Um... older sister."

"Hmm?" "If I said I don't want to go back to school for the time being, and I want to continue my leave of absence, would you be unhappy?"

After hearing this, Shiori Shimamura remained silent for a moment to think.

Then she said, "That depends on what you want to do."

“If it’s just about escaping, about avoiding contact with people, then I won’t be happy. Of course I will respect your choice, because if you insist on going back to school before you’re fully recovered, and things get worse, that’s not what I want either.”

"But if possible, I still hope you can think more carefully about what you want to do in this life, and I hope you can make your life more meaningful."

"Instead of...like me. Right?"

At this point, Shiori Shimamura gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Due to the unexpected death of her parents, her life trajectory underwent many changes involuntarily.

The futures I once dreamed of and looked forward to have all failed to materialize due to the pressures of reality.

She became the kind of mediocre person she never wanted to be, going to work day after day doing boring and tedious jobs she didn't want to do, struggling day after day in a daily routine with no future in sight for those trivial matters of daily life that she used to not care about.

Thus, her younger sister became her only hope in life.

She projected all her hopes and desires onto her younger sister, seeing her sister's future as her own.

She hoped that at least her younger sister could live the meaningful life she wanted, instead of living like herself.

In that case, all her efforts, her sacrifices, and even her life would have been worthwhile.

Yuna Shimamura was able to empathize with her older sister's feelings.

Unlike the carefree Shimamura Yuna of the past, her older sister Shimamura Shiori is a person with a strong sense of purpose and conviction.

She was unwilling to accept her mediocrity, unwilling to accept the reality that she would remain just an ordinary person for the rest of her life.

She would give everything to achieve her life's ideals, so she never complained that tutoring was too hard, that studying was too tiring, or that studying was just to meet her parents' expectations.

In her view, any effort is a necessary sacrifice.

Like Yuna Shimamura today, she is a "person who chases the spotlight," an idealist who values ​​realizing her own life's value above all else.

However, her brilliance and her ideals were stripped away by cruel reality.

As the younger sister, she was not only a burden to her older sister, but also an accomplice in committing this heinous crime.

Thinking about this, Shimamura Yuna's feelings were somewhat complicated.

She didn't respond to her sister's question, but simply sat beside her in silence.

However, deep down, I made up my mind.

'I won't let you down, sister.'

I want to improve myself, and at the same time, I want to help you, my sister, become a better person.

In the past, Yuna Shimamura always believed that if she could become a great professional player who would go down in history, then she wouldn't care so much about material things.

But now, she has slightly changed her mind.

Not only do you have to become a great professional player, but you also have to become a "great professional player who makes a lot of money".

She needs a lot of money to change her sister's and her own fate.

Yuna Shimamura exuded an unprecedentedly strong determination.

P.S.: The previous chapters were quite fast-paced, so this chapter might seem a little bland to some readers.

However, I think these kinds of chapters are also necessary. Without emotional build-up, the exciting moments won't be as enjoyable.

Then, as usual, I'm asking for votes and hoping you'll continue reading QAQ
