Chapter 38 Homecoming and Japanese Knot Translation
On the day I left Tokyo, it was still raining lightly.
As the standard Japanese voice was announced, the passenger plane took off from the gloomy Tokyo Airport like a giant bird with spread wings.
Meixia looked to the side, and saw that the round glass window blurred by water droplets covered up the appearance of the tarmac, leaving only a rough outline in front of her eyes.
In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the details of life in this land, such as Dorayaki dumplings, sushi curry, anime light novels, and Japanese idol variety shows. They passed through her mind one by one, but she only remembered them. Only the moments of getting along with family and friends can evoke a faint feeling.
Sad.
Waiting to drive up to the sky, the sky is clear and the rain has dispersed, and colorful clouds are floating outside the window.
On the contrary, Meixia felt even more uneasy and uneasy.
It is both leaving home and returning home.
Those friends and relatives in Tokyo are still safe and can see each other at any time, but what about those unforgettable people in China? Do they exist in this world?
In the early days of time travel, Meixia used satellite map software to search for her hometown and alma mater she attended. She also searched the admission list of her alma mater for that year to confirm that besides herself, several brothers in the university dormitory existed in this world.
In college.
Maybe the world is just missing a young man named Tao Xia, so is there any chance to meet his former parents and classmates? And in what capacity can he meet them? Maybe in this S5 World Championship, they are watching themselves in the dormitory.
The posture on the stage!
Since time travel to the present, these questions in the summer have always avoided in-depth thinking and cannot be answered, and they can't stop being brought up on the plane.
She squeezed the doll her sister had thrown to her the night before she left, held it close to the window, and used her self-entertaining behavior to cover up her inner sway.
"Hey, it's your first time abroad, Hatsune, are you happy?"
"Hatsune, you should thank me, Mika-san! I rescued you from the claw machine and now I'm taking you around!"
"Magic City, wow, this is the first time I've seen it. What a tall Pearl Tower! Which one is taller than the Tokyo Tower?!"
While playing the role-playing game, she did not forget to take pictures with her mobile phone.
After the two-hour flight was over, she walked out of the cabin and quickly posted the photos she took on her personal account.

Fans below the tweet speculated that Mei Xia was going to North America for a trial training, and they all sent congratulations to her.
"Mika is going to North America! Come on!"
"It is indeed impossible for Mika-chan to stay in LJL in the new season. As a Japanese fan, I still feel very sad. When will Japanese e-sports be able to accommodate capable players..."
"The doll in Mika's hand is very cute, but the "sister" is still not as cute as the sister herself." - This comment also had Risa's objection.
Meixia walked out of the Shanghai Airport with curiosity about a country that was both her hometown and a foreign land.
"What a weird experience. It's obviously my first time setting foot in the Magic City, so why does it feel like I've only been away for half a year?"
"But the country of Hua, which we haven't seen for only half a year, is so unfamiliar. There are still six years between us and the country of China half a year ago..."
While feeling emotional, Mixia took a deep breath and looked around.
There were various pick-up signs in the lobby. With her vision and reflexes far beyond ordinary people, she could easily find the pick-up personnel holding the EDG team logo.
Jogged over.
The person who picked me up at the airport was a man and a woman. The man was Edg coach Abu, and the woman was something I didn’t recognize.
Seeing Mixia's arrival, a young woman wearing a white skirt and high heels bent down, lowered her head, smiled and asked in Chinese, "Little girl, are you looking for your parents? Are you lost?"
Little girl? Lost? Are you talking about me?
Meixia stopped and looked around to make sure there was no creature that looked like a little girl except herself. She gritted her teeth and kept calm.
She was not prepared to reveal her Chinese proficiency, so she bowed and said in Japanese, "Sorry, this is edg, and I am a player who came to try out!" (I don't need to write it in Japanese because I don't know how to do it.)
"What is he talking about?" Abu asked next to him in his signature eunuch accent.
"I didn't hear clearly... I should be asking for directions." The woman shook her head and then asked in less proficient Japanese, "Kid, who are you looking for?"
Mixia was anxious. This was the Japanese translator that edg was looking for. I'm afraid she didn't find it from an amateur Japanese enthusiast! Besides, her height of 1.6 meters was only a dozen centimeters shorter than the woman in front of her. She was also wearing high heels. How could she be so sure?
Are you a child now?
"mika! mika! I am mika, the player recruited by edg!" she explained.
The woman still smiled and wondered why the little girl shouted like Pikachu. Although she was very cute...
Abu actually heard the word Mixia shouted clearly. The contestant they were going to pick up was from Japan, and the competition ID was mika.
"Ah! Are you Mika? You were so cute in the competition. I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize you for a moment!" He quickly said to the female translator next to him, "Oh! She is the Japanese female player we are picking up today. Come to her quickly.
Introduce you and me."
"What? She was holding a baby, I thought..." The female translator stood up straight and switched to broken Japanese, "Ahem, please take care of us when we first met. I am Lin Yun, a Japanese translator temporarily recruited by edg. This is
It’s EDG coach Ji Xing, you can call him Abu.”
Oh my god, I might as well communicate in Chinese, and what’s wrong with me holding a baby!
Mixia pretended to understand completely and bowed to the two of them respectively, "Thank you for your advice! Then, can you go!"
"I understood this sentence. She said hello to us and then asked if we could leave," the female translator said.
"Let's go now! Keep her in the middle and don't lose it." Abu hurriedly accepted the pick-up card, and led Mixia out of the airport with the female translator.
Abu drove, with Mei Xia and the translator sitting in the back seat, all the way to the edg base.
Meixia chatted with the translator for half an hour on the way. Through intentional and unintentional testing, she finally realized Abu's true attitude towards her coming to LPL for trial training.
It can be said that edg's timid yet sophisticated temperament comes from their coach Abu and manager San Shao.
From the perspective of Abu with his narrow thinking.
The so-called Mika who wants to come to edg to play games just wants to get gold plated in lpl so that he can sell it at a good price in the North American market!
And now, edg, which has reached the top eight of the World Championship just one year after its establishment, has successfully completed its mission for the year. It is impossible for a team with such outstanding achievements to accept the two-way hype with female players. What they really need are capable players.
If it weren't for Ming Kai's sake, he would never have accepted Mixia's trial training.
Even if he agrees to the trial training now, in Abramovich's opinion, it is just a formality - even if LPL's salary is tripled, it is impossible to match that of North America. Even if EDG is willing to accept Mika as a substitute for the team, there is no way he can stay in EDG.
So even though he was translating, he just casually sent out a part-time job recruitment message in the team's fan group, and then the junior student in the Japanese department next to Mixia happily accepted the job of Nichiyue's translator.
