Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 12, Section 11: I really will pay you back.

She remembered the ramen shop that she and Shimamura Yuna used to frequent, but she hadn't been there since they broke up.

She remembered the old shopping street she used to frequent, but she hadn't been there since her relationship with Shimamura Yuna so soured.

Memories of the past gradually flooded my mind.

She knew that, rationally speaking, she should completely cut ties with a psychopath like Shimamura Yuna to avoid affecting her life.

But ultimately, driven by her emotions, she made an irrational decision.

'I have to go find her.'

'I'm going to apologize to her, I want to make up with her.'

I need to learn to be more understanding and supportive of her.

In conclusion, she finally appeared here.

After listening to the other person's rather cheesy description of her, Shimamura Yuna felt a headache coming on.

'Is that all?'

He sighed helplessly, unsure how to react for a moment.

It was only at this moment that she realized something that even the original Shimamura Yuna had not realized.

'So I mean so much to her.'

But after realizing this, she suddenly felt a little sad.

The direct reason that led to Shimamura Yuna's suicide was that she felt she had no more attachments in the world, her friends were leaving her one by one, and even her only sister who still cared about her felt like a burden.

But if Akari Kujo had approached Yuna Shimamura a day earlier and expressed her goodwill sooner, would the original Yuna Shimamura have chosen not to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills?
Could she change her mind because she feels someone cares about her?
Having regained what she had lost, will she value this friendship more and rekindle her hope for life?

Would everything have turned out differently?

However, it's pointless to think about these issues now.

The original Shimamura Yuna is dead; that is a given fact.

All she can do now is live well under this new identity.

And living well naturally includes treating those who care about her and are concerned about her well.

She looked at Akari Kujo with a complicated expression, and after thinking for a moment, said, "Alright, there's no need for that."

"What happened back then was my fault. I'm sorry."

"I just felt that if I stayed by your side, it would hurt you, and things like that day would keep happening, so I chose to run away and never came to find you."

"But I'm so happy to see you today after all this time."

Hearing Shimamura Yuna's words, Kujo Akari felt somewhat excited.

She looked up, her face full of longing, and said, "So, does that mean we're still friends?"

Yuna Shimamura smiled and nodded: "Yes, of course."

As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Akari Kujo as a sign of reconciliation.

And so, a few more minutes passed.

Kujo Mari felt an unusual excitement and disbelief at being able to reconcile with Shimamura Yuna.

Although the hug had ended a while ago, she kept savoring the moment, feeling an indescribable happiness.

To be honest, things are a little too simplistic.

I initially thought that Shimamura Yuna might be difficult to talk to because she has a mental illness.

She thought that the other person might be reluctant to communicate with her after seeing her for so long.

She was mentally prepared to relentlessly pursue Shimamura Yuna and not give up until they reconciled. But to her utter surprise, things were much simpler than she had imagined.

The other person was much gentler and calmer than she had imagined; there was no hysteria or shouting.

The entire exchange also displayed a 'rational' quality that is difficult to describe in words.

This rational temperament was rarely seen even in Yuna Shimamura before she developed depression.

Aside from speaking a little less, there was absolutely no indication that she had a mental illness.

'Has her depression improved?'

'Compared to before, it's like she's a completely different person.'

If she had spoken her mind instead of just thinking it to herself, she might have seen Shimamura Yuna's panicked expression.

After all, that's practically the same person.

Although Shimamura Yuna's personality is inevitably influenced by the memories of her body, and bears some traces of the original owner, she is indeed a completely new soul.

However, Shimamura Yuna had no idea what the other person was thinking.

Her focus is currently more on League of Legends.

Although Akari Kujo's sudden visit disrupted her rhythm somewhat, she quickly returned her attention to it after the matter was resolved.

Where am I supposed to find the money to use as capital for gambling?

I initially thought it would be quite tricky.

However, as she reconciled with Akari Kujo, she suddenly realized that perhaps the solution to the problem was much simpler than she had imagined.

After all, that guy just said it.

I hope, I hope, that I can buy you a computer in exchange for your forgiveness.

Without a doubt, Akari Kujo now feels guilty towards Yuna Shimamura. She believes she has done something wrong and is willing to do something to make amends for her mistake, or rather, to compensate Yuna Shimamura.

If Shimamura Yuna were a bit more of a scoundrel, she could even exploit this psychology to gain personality control over Kujo Akari through some PUA techniques.

Although she doesn't actually intend to do that, but...
'Seeking a little help should be possible.'

She knew that this guy was really rich.

The amount of money she needed was no problem at all for Akari Kujo.

Thinking of this, she said to Akari Kujo, "Um... it seems a little strange to tell you this now that we've just made up."

"But I really need money right now."

"so."

Before Shimamura Yuna could finish speaking, Kujo Akari asked without hesitation, "How much?"

"As long as it's within my ability, I'll give you whatever amount you need. If it's still not enough, I can ask my parents for some more."

Hey, what do you mean by "give as much as you can, no matter how little"? Please don't exaggerate like that.
This sounds like I haven't even started to manipulate you, but you've already manipulated yourself!

The other party's attitude was so enthusiastic that Shimamura Yuna felt guilty for deceiving the young girl.

Despite her initial thoughts, she ultimately honestly stated her request: "As much as possible. Around two or three hundred thousand? I'll pay you back soon."

"I really will pay you back."

Because I modified the content today and added back the content from the old version.

Basically, the current version is a combination of the previously deleted version and the new version.
