On the day I left Tokyo, it was still raining lightly.
As the standard Japanese broadcasting tone 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 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.
Mixia's heart became 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, all the brothers in the university dormitory existed in this world. In college.
Maybe the world just lacks a young man named Tao Xia, so is there any chance to meet his former parents and classmates? In what capacity can I meet them? Maybe in this S5 World Championship, they are watching themselves on the stage in the dormitory!
From time to time, these beautiful summers have always avoided thinking deeply about questions that 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 the stuffed doll 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, for rescuing you from the claw machine and now 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 never forgot 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 heading to North America for a trial training, and 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." - There was also Risa's objection under this comment.
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 China, which we haven't seen for only half a year, is so unfamiliar. There are 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.
Jogging over.
A man and a woman were picked up at the airport. The man was Edg coach Abu, but the woman was unknown to him.
Seeing Mixia's arrival, a young woman wearing a white skirt and high heels bent down and asked in Chinese with a smile, "Little girl, are you looking for your parents? Are you lost?"
Little girl? get 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 didn't want to reveal her Chinese proficiency, so she bowed and said in Japanese, "Sorry, this is edg, and I'm a player here for a trial!" (I don't need to write it in Japanese because I don't know how to do it.)
"What is he talking about?" asked Abu 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 is the Japanese translation that edg was looking for. I'm afraid it wasn't an amateur Japanese enthusiast who found it somewhere! 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, so how could she know that she was a child?
"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 could clearly hear the words Mixia shouted. The contestant they were going to pick up was from Japan, and his 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, hurry up and tell her 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 doll!
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 sign 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 or 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.
In this way, Abu looks at it with his narrow thinking.
The so-called Mika who wants to come to EDG to play games is just that he 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 wouldn't have been able to accept Mixia's trial training.
Even if he agrees to the trial training now, in Abramovich's view, it is just a formality - even if the salary of LPL is tripled, it is impossible to compare with North America. Even if edg is willing to accept mika as the team's substitute, there is no way for him to stay in edg.
So even as a translator, he just casually posted 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 received the job of Nizuki's translator.
