Why Are You So Skilled at This?

The rest of the match was very simple. Ashe, who had been suppressed the whole time, simply couldn't scale up.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yu relied on his item advantage to brute-force his way around the champion's shortcomings, pushing all the way to the inhibitor turret with Yuuka.

Perhaps because the account's rank wasn't very high to begin with, the enemy jungler only came once or twice before completely giving up on bot lane.

Ashe and Lulu could only cower pitifully beneath their inhibitor turret, not even daring to show their faces.

"This game is pretty interesting," Yuuka murmured to herself.

Watching the enemy ADC and support get bullied so badly, Yuuka seemed to awaken some incredible trait.

She used Sion's E to harass them from time to time, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she watched them scramble.

"Yuuka, be careful. Their teammates are coming," Zhao Yu warned, his eyes never leaving the minimap.

After the two of them reached the high ground, the other side finally reacted. Their mid laner and jungler began closing in on them.

"Oh, okay! I'll leave right away... Eek!" Hearing Zhao Yu's warning, Yuuka moved Sion to retreat, only for Ashe to open with her ultimate and stun her in place.

Zed, the enemy mid laner, arrived right after that. He had originally intended to go after Zhao Yu's Zilean, but Zhao Yu landed a slow first, making it impossible for Zed to move.

Zed could only use his ultimate on the closer Sion, while the enemy jungler Vi followed up immediately.

"What do I do, Tyou-san? I can't move!" Yuuka cried out in panic.

"It's fine. I'm here." Zhao Yu spoke steadily, calmly placing a bomb on Sion before resetting it and rooting Vi in place.

At that moment, the stun on Yuuka's Sion finally wore off. She quickly activated her shield to block Zed's damage before beginning to charge her Q.

But while she was charging it, the damage from Zed's ultimate exploded above her head, instantly taking a huge chunk out of Sion's health.

Ashe and Lulu followed up at just the right moment. Lulu polymorphed Yuuka's Sion, interrupting her charged Q, while Ashe began firing continuously.

Vi covered for Ashe, using another Q to knock Yuuka's Sion into the air. In an instant, Sion's health bar was completely drained.

"Ugh... I probably can't get away. Tyou-san, run!" Yuuka had never faced anything like this before, and she immediately panicked.

All her skills were grayed out. Yuuka had no way to escape, and all she could hope was that Zhao Yu could get away under her cover.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, you'll be fine." Zhao Yu reassured Yuuka again, flashing over at the last second and placing his ultimate on her.

Sion, whose health had been nearly gone, only lay on the ground briefly before reviving at half health under Zilean's ultimate.

The enemies, who had been about to go after Zhao Yu's Zilean, froze for a moment. Yuuka seized the chance and slammed her ultimate straight into their faces.

This time, she really did stun all four of them. Zhao Yu immediately followed up with two Qs from Zilean, stunning them in place.

"Yuuka!" Zhao Yu shouted.

"I understand!" Yuuka instantly got it, unleashing a smooth W-Q-W combo.

Then Zhao Yu stunned them again. The two of them moved as though they were one, their coordination flawless.

[Holy crap, what is this, some kind of martial soul fusion skill?]

[Chain CC, huh? Took a look, and both Sion and Zilean built cooldown reduction. So disgusting.]

[Why is this Japanese girl so skilled at this? How many times has she practiced with the streamer in private?]

[You relationship theorists, get out!]

As the sound effect for a quadra kill rang out, Yuuka froze in place.

A quadra kill? Me? Yuuka could hardly believe it. What had seemed like certain death had somehow turned into a quadra kill?

But she wasn't really stupid. She knew that most of the damage had come from Zhao Yu's Zilean, so she quickly apologized to him.

"I'm so sorry, Tyou-san! Did I steal your kills?"

Zhao Yu was still controlling Zilean to push the turret. Only after hearing Yuuka did he realize what she meant, and he replied without caring, "It's fine. I was only supporting you. That was your own skill."

Hearing Zhao Yu's calm response, Yuuka gradually stopped worrying that he might be angry.

Remembering how safe his words had made her feel when she had been surrounded by four people, she couldn't help speaking up.

"With Tyou-san here, I really feel safe..."

Huh? Girl, that sounded kind of suggestive, didn't it? Zhao Yu's movements paused slightly.

[Wait, did he seriously win over the Japanese girl?]

[Bro came here to have fun. You can't seriously be getting together, can you?]

[Oh no, we're the clowns now.]

Seeing that Zhao Yu had fallen silent, Yuuka finally realized that what she had blurted out was indeed a little inappropriate.

"No, no... I mean, Tyou-san is very dependable! No, that's not right either. I mean, Tyou-san is really good at the game, and being protected by you makes me feel safe... Ugh! I... I..."

Flustered, Yuuka began babbling incoherently. The more she explained, the worse it sounded, until she could only let out a miserable whimper and fall silent as well.

As Zhao Yu took down the inhibitor turret, their teammates quickly came to support them, and the match soon ended just like that.

But until the game was over, the only sounds coming from Yuuka's side were her keyboard and mouse.

That made Zhao Yu a little afraid to speak too. He had no idea what the girl was thinking, and he was afraid that one wrong word would make Yuuka shut down completely.

What do I do? What do I do? How did I blurt out something so embarrassing?

With her face slightly burning, Yuuka awkwardly clicked through the end-of-game screen, trying hard to figure out how to smooth over what she had said.

Honestly, she hadn't thought that much about it. She had simply gotten immersed in the game.

Zhao Yu's composure in the crisis and perfectly timed ultimate had filled her with a sense of security, so she had unconsciously said something like that.

But Zhao Yu's silence made Yuuka realize that her words had sounded somewhat ambiguous.

There had been nothing wrong with the sentence itself, but after her messy explanation, it had become strangely delicate and easy to misunderstand.

"Um, Yuuka?" Unable to wait for Yuuka to speak any longer, Zhao Yu finally decided to ask first.

After all, Shuizi Ge was still waiting. Zhao Yu felt too embarrassed to make him wait for nothing any longer.

"Yes! Wh... what?" Zhao Yu's sudden voice startled the deeply absorbed Yuuka, and she answered loudly.

"I have a friend who wants to play with us too. Is that okay?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Oh, o-okay! I don't have any problem with that!" Yuuka replied instinctively.

"That's good. I'll invite him now," Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Yu acted as if nothing had happened, which made Yuuka breathe a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, she also felt a little unaccustomed to such a flat reaction.

I'm supposed to be a cute girl, right? Why wasn't Tyou-san flustered at all? Yuuka couldn't quite understand it.

He had clearly gotten nervous and shy before, yet this time, he had no other reaction at all.
