Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 72, Section 70: Igniting the Entire Internet! (Two chapters combined, please read and vote!)
Her tone sounded extremely confident, and her expression conveyed an air of complete control.

However, her close friend Rei Inoue not only didn't believe her, but also sarcastically remarked, "You can be of any use? What use can you be? What else can you do besides spending your days watching short videos and playing games?"

Su Qing didn't care about her friend's sarcasm.

She maintained her confident demeanor and then looked at Shimamura Yuna, saying:

"Didn't you say you have a mental illness and need care in a foreign country?"

"Since that's the case, and I don't have much to do anyway, and I don't need to manage this internet cafe myself, why don't I just go to Taiwan and take care of her myself?"

"As long as she has me, her warm-hearted older sister, by her side, I'm sure depression, a minor illness, will be cured in no time. She'll be even more cheerful than before she got the illness."

"If you win the world championship, I'll deserve some credit too."

These words stunned the three people present.

Shimamura Yuna looked at Su Qing with a somewhat incomprehensible, amused expression.

At the same time, he wondered to himself, 'Big sister, are we that close?'

The other person's expression and tone were somewhat playful, yet there was a hint of seriousness in their playfulness.

It left her confused about whether or not they were playing with abstract concepts.

Inoue Rei was already used to her friend's unserious style, but she just rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

After sighing, she said seriously to Shimamura Yuna, "If depression is indeed the case, then this is no small matter."

"I'm guessing that if we inform the CFO Club about the situation, they will definitely find it a bit troublesome. But considering your appearance and the buzz you generate, they will definitely tolerate this little bit of trouble for the sake of popularity, so there's no need to worry too much about it."

"So the most crucial issue right now is still with your family."

At this point, the atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.

Everyone present actually had a strong desire for Shimamura Yuna to go pro, but each person's purpose was different.

Shimamura Yuna was driven by the realization of her personal value; Inoue Rei was motivated by a special attachment to Japanese League of Legends esports and a desire to see Japanese players reach a bigger stage; Su Qing had a simpler, more personal desire to see the people she had discovered shine on stage; and Kujo Akari simply hoped that her friend could do what she wanted to do.

But now there is a rather thorny problem right in front of us that urgently needs to be solved.

After a period of stalemate, it was Inoue Rei who finally made the decision.

"No matter what, go directly to your guardian to negotiate; there's no way around it."

"Tonight, Su Qing and I will go and talk to your guardian, is that alright?"

Shimamura Yuna immediately nodded in agreement.

"OK."

"Then, shall we leave it at that?"
-
That evening, when the older sister, Shiori Shimamura, returned home after a busy day, she planned to enjoy the delicious dinner prepared by her younger sister as usual, savoring the precious time she had after get off work to relax a little.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw four people sitting upright in the house.

Moreover, there were two of them whom I didn't know at all.

Just as she was somewhat confused and hadn't figured out what was going on, Inoue Rei took the initiative to speak up: "Um... are you Shimamura Yuna's older sister?"

As Shiori Shimamura habitually placed her briefcase on the cabinet in the entryway, she nodded somewhat bewilderedly: "It's me, that's right. May I ask who you are?"

Inoue Rei immediately handed over her business card: "Hello, I'm Inoue Rei. I'm here today to discuss something with you about your sister."

Two unfamiliar strangers were waiting for him at his home.
Seeing this, Shiori Shimamura subconsciously worried that her younger sister might have incurred debts, which was why a violent gang had come to collect them.

So, he first cautiously glanced at his younger sister sitting on the sofa.

Only after confirming that her younger sister, Shimamura Yuna's, expression did not show fear, but rather a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, did she temporarily relax her guard.

Then, he sat down and spoke to the other party with basic goodwill, saying, "Well then, let's just talk about what's on your mind."

Inoue Rei nodded: "Yes! Well, where should I begin?"

Afterwards, Inoue Rei spent some time explaining her identity, how she met Shimamura Yuna, and her purpose in coming here.

Throughout the entire presentation, my sister remained attentive and attentive, except for occasionally interrupting to ask questions about technical terms she didn't understand.

Meanwhile, Shimamura Yuna stood nervously to the side, observing her sister's reaction.

She was worried that after hearing the whole story, her sister would bluntly refuse, saying, "My sister's mental condition is not suitable for traveling far."

She was even worried that her sister would think she was being reckless and would criticize her seriously after refusing her request.

She was already thinking about how to change her sister's mind if her sister initially rejected her idea of ​​going to Taiwan to play professionally.

With these jumbled thoughts swirling in her mind, Shimamura Yuna sat nervously to the side, much like a primary school student eavesdropping on a conversation between a teacher and parents, her heart filled with unease about the outcome.

Finally, the conversation came to a temporary end.

"Well... that's how it is."

"Your sister is truly talented, but because of her psychological issues, I think you might have some concerns, so..."

My sister might refuse.
The older sister might express her concerns.

In that instant, countless possibilities arose in Shimamura Yuna's mind.

However, in the vast majority of cases, the older sister will express her refusal.

However, the final result was somewhat unexpected for Shimamura Yuna.

After listening, the older sister simply replied in a rather indifferent tone, "Okay, if she wants to play professionally, let her go."

Surprisingly, they agreed very readily.

"Eh?"

It was too simple, and quite different from the usual impression Shiori Shimamura gave off.

Therefore, Shimamura Yuna didn't react for a moment.

She stood there dumbfounded for a long time before asking her sister in disbelief, "Um... you... you agreed?"

Her older sister turned around, smiled at her, and nodded: "Yes, I agree."

Yuna Shimamura was still somewhat incredulous at how simple things were: "You just agreed like that? Aren't you worried about me, or rather," Shiori Shimamura replied, "of course I'm worried."

Shimamura Yuna was puzzled: "If that's the case, why did you agree so readily? I thought..."

Shiori Shimamura smiled.

"because."

"This is what you've always been pursuing, isn't it?"

That's right, that's the only reason she chose to agree.

To be honest, although Shiori Shimamura is usually very busy with work, she doesn't know much about the Chinese internet or games.

But because it's her younger sister's business, she still tries to take some time out of her spare time to learn as much as possible about it.

During this process, with the help of translation software, she was able to understand, albeit only partially, what her sister was doing.

She learned from translating comments from viewers in China that her sister seemed to be doing something that didn't actually have any special significance for the live stream.

[If she doesn't play professionally, it feels pointless for her to play on the Korean server every day; the audience is dwindling.]

[Is this what it means to want to go pro? He keeps changing heroes every day. If he doesn't go pro, is this worthwhile for a streamer?]

[But can a girl really play professionally? It seems like most female professional players in the past didn't have lasting successes; it was all just hype. Is Yuna serious about this?]

She wasn't quite sure what the point of esports events was.

She wasn't quite sure why professional competitions were so unattainable for girls.

She couldn't fully empathize with the negative comments and misunderstandings about her younger sister in the comments section due to a lack of information.

Because she only had a superficial understanding, she didn't communicate with her sister or ask her about the arrangements.

But
She already knew from that moment on that this was probably what her younger sister had been chasing all along, the thing that had helped her sister pull herself out of the trough.

Just like her own unattainable dreams, this is a "shining" unique to her younger sister.

She had long anticipated this day, thinking that perhaps one day, her younger sister, who thought she had mastered the skills, would suddenly bring it up to her, saying, "Sister, I want to go pro."

She just didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.

In her view, her younger sister only gradually became normal after she started playing games; the growth she experienced in the games allowed her to temporarily forget her pain and troubles.

So, given that's the case.
'The brilliance found in the game will surely be the key to completely curing my sister's illness.'

That's what she thought.

Therefore, she will fully support her younger sister's desire to pursue a professional career.

Just like this at this moment.

"You will definitely find your answer in the end."

"Go after what you want to go after in your own way, and in the process, find the answers you truly want to know."

"And I will silently cheer you on."

Things took a turn for the better than Shimamura Yuna had anticipated.

She stood frozen in place, motionless, listening to her sister speak to her like a puppet.

But she was unaware of this at the time.
What happened that night will likely be the most memorable and unforgettable moment for her in the countless days and nights to come.
-
While Shimamura Yuna was busy dealing with the signing of the contract, public opinion was still brewing.

That day, after Shimamura Yuna suddenly ended the broadcast without explanation, some viewers were already a little unhappy.

Some viewers said at the time, "We support her like this every day, but she doesn't care about us at all. It's so sad."

However, some viewers said, "It's rare for a friend to come over, so what's wrong with spending time with them? He's usually a regular streamer, so taking a day off occasionally isn't a big deal. Some male fans shouldn't be so controlling."

If at this point, public opinion regarding her actions was still mixed, then...
So, Shimamura Yuna's subsequent disappearance for several days after posting a leave request completely angered the viewers.

Everyone suspected that she had gone on vacation with the girl who appeared in the live stream that day.

Everyone was a bit angry, feeling that Shimamura Yuna's attitude showed that she didn't take the audience seriously at all.

Even Ryujin, who had some friction with Shimamura Yuna's fans and decided to keep quiet to avoid being further exploited, couldn't help but comment: "I see you guys are so filial every day, but your real mother doesn't seem to care much about you?"

“I’m telling you, she’s right. You stray dogs can’t be treated like human beings. How can dogs be the same as humans?”

These boastful comments immediately became unbearable for Shimamura Yuna's loyal fans.

Everyone is eagerly hoping that Shimamura Yuna can come out and give an explanation as soon as possible, explaining what she has been doing these past few days, why she hasn't been broadcasting, and why it has taken her so long to ask for a leave of absence.

However, as time continued to pass, Shimamura Yuna remained feigning death and made no response.

Now, many of her fans who had their children's children started to get restless and expressed their intention to unfollow her.

Just when everyone thought that Shimamura Yuna had completely stopped broadcasting and was planning to run away with the old woman,
Suddenly, a rumor circulating within the industry caused a dramatic reversal in public opinion.

[Yuna didn't run away; she went to play professionally and has been busy with contract signings and visa matters, which is why she hasn't been seen in public.]

Now, everyone's attitude changed completely.

While it's unclear whether the news is true or false, if it is, then the story has transformed from a heinous incident of a female streamer running off on vacation with an old man, abandoning her viewers, into an inspiring tale of a female streamer determined to prove herself by pursuing a professional career, rather than just streaming.

Naturally, that very evening, many of Shimamura Yuna's fans announced their return, stating that they had always been loyal subjects of the Oni Saint.

In response, Long Shen commented again: "Still playing professionally? How can you filial sons of the wooden cabinet be so delusional? Can't you just honestly accept the reality that your own mothers abandoned you and ran away?"

"With her looks, how could she possibly play professionally? Who gave her the courage to do so?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. Even our own mothers don't want us anymore. We have to keep fantasizing. How can we survive if we don't fantasize? People always have to deceive themselves."

Up to this point, Ryujin was basically on a winning streak, since the rumors about Shimamura Yuna going pro were just that—rumors.

But soon, the situation took a complete and final turn.
Just one day later, the CFO team from Taiwan released a message that went viral across the internet.

P.S.: I don't think anyone said this chapter was slow anymore. I finished what I originally planned to cover in several chapters in 4000 words. The pace was so fast that it became a bit abstract.

By the way, the reason I'm posting this chapter so early is that I originally planned to schedule it for 11 a.m., but I accidentally posted it directly.
