I, Who Was Ridiculed as a “Video Game Otaku and Creepy” and Dumped by My Childhood Friend, Was Actually the Winner of a World E-sports Tournament. - Chapter 40

Childhood Friend Who Got Sucked Up To (3)

I returned to my house and remembered.
“Come to think of it, Ema’s father also had a company, didn’t he?”
The other day, she asked me to go out with her, but I refused.
Since then, she has contacted me several times, but it was getting ridiculous for me to reply properly.
Although not comparable to Natsume Holdings, Ema’s father also ran his own company.
But I hear that company is not doing well now either.
“I don’t see the point in holding these shares.”
For the sake of being a childhood friend, I owned shares in Ema’s father’s company with some of the tournament prize money.
Being a professional gamer is a precarious job.
It is not necessarily going to last forever.
I was investing for my future life.
One of the best examples is investing in stocks.
Looking at the stock price chart on my phone, it was clear that the price of Ema’s father’s company had fallen.
“This looks like it’s going to go down even more.”
I thought I was indebted to Ema in my own way, so I owned a considerable amount of stock.
I should sell them all off.
If I had to own stock in a place like this, I would be much better off buying other stocks.
I also own shares in Natsume Holdings, which is doing well.
Probably due to the success of the new business.
Selling Ema’s father’s company now would be a loss for me, but I felt that there was no point in holding stocks that were not likely to rise in the future.
I opened my computer, went into the market, and sold all the shares I owned.
“Now I have to practice my game.”
The Pro-hopple tournament in Japan is only about a month away.
Looking at the contestants, I knew I couldn’t let my guard down this time either.
No matter how much experience I had in winning the world championship, I would be caught unprepared if I were not careful.
As the saying goes, “Fools learn from experience, and the wise learn from history.”
It wasn’t long after I sold my shares that things started to unfold.
♢
Ema’s father’s company was clearly leaning.
“Wait, Papa! Is the company okay?”
Even as a child, I knew that my father’s company was doing poorly.
“Shut up! It’s not your concern!”
Ema’s father was frustrated by the company’s poor performance.
“Yes! I won’t know even if it collapses!”
Ema is frustrated because Ryo dumped her.
“There is no reply from Ryo…”
Ema looked at her phone and mumbled.
There has been no reply from Ryo for over a week.
“Why not! You were in love with me not too long ago! It’s all her fault!”
The private message with Ryo just shows 《read》.
