Joker's Band Game Story

Li Xi really didn't mince words. Since Shuang Shi didn't want to work hard, why should she bother trying to win him over? Take it or leave it.

"Well, then I'll just have to ask Brother Lian what to do."

Riki's words made Aine mutter to herself, and she had no choice but to ask Amamiya Ren how to solve this problem.

So, Ren Amamiya, who was lying in bed, received a call from Aine.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID: 'Chihaya Aine'. After thinking for a moment, he hung up the phone.

Then he replied on Line, "I'm a bit busy, just message me if you need anything."

After doing all that, he looked at Shuangshi lying next to him and couldn't help but sigh.

That's right, he is indeed quite busy right now, busy taking care of Shuangshi.

He never imagined that one day he would be like a male best friend, lying in bed listening to a girl talk about all sorts of big and small things all day long.

Shuangshi has indeed been in a very bad state these past two days, which has left him with no choice but to ask Mu to help him get two more days off from the teacher. As for the reason...

I thought I was cured, but it relapsed. Anyway, Sosei's grades are good, and since Tsukimori Academy is a prestigious academy for young ladies, the teachers sometimes really don't know what to do with their students' little tantrums.

Your salary might not even be higher than a rich girl's monthly living expenses. Class distinctions naturally make many teachers very easy to talk to when it comes to some unimportant matters.

It's just asking for leave, go ahead and ask. You're not bothering anyone else. If you want to rest, then rest properly. Don't force yourself to come to school and make the problem worse, and then the school will have a hard time explaining itself.

Therefore, it is very easy to ask for leave in Tsuki no Mori, but even if you ask for leave, you will still have to tell your parents.

This prompted Shuangshi's mother to call home several times. She was too busy with work to come back, and only after hearing Shuangshi say that she was just feeling a little unwell did she tell her to rest at home.

The thought that even though he could understand his mother, Shuang Shi still felt very uncomfortable when he realized that he had taken four days off a week and his mother still had no time to come back.

She lay on the bed, clinging to Ren Amamiya's arm, looking fragile and pitiful.

"Amamiya, don't you miss your parents?"

Nagasaki Sase couldn't help but ask Amamiya Ren about his thoughts, as they were somewhat similar in terms of family.

Although Amamiya's parents did not divorce, they were even more hardworking than Sase's mother, and they only came back once or twice a year, each time for about two weeks.

Sosei's mother would come back for a few days every month, and she seemed closer to Amamiya's parents.

"It's alright. They have their own pursuits outside, and I don't really care."

Reborn as a human, Ren Amamiya didn't share the same thoughts as other transmigrators. He simply accepted his parents' new identity and decided to live one life at a time. He had fulfilled his filial duty in his previous life, and it was time to face the new debt of gratitude for their upbringing in this one.

After he was born, they put aside their work to take care of him. Amamiya also knew that his birth was an accident, which hindered their ambition.

Therefore, I also support them to continue their business outside. I live alone at home and watch my child take care of himself. Only then can my parents feel at ease. After Amamiya started junior high school, I continued to go out and start my own business to satisfy my career ambitions and support Amamiya Ren in every way possible.

Amamiya wanted to learn piano, so they paid for it. Amamiya wanted to learn drums, so they bought them for her. Amamiya could play instruments, but she only started playing in a band in middle school. She couldn't earn money in elementary school, so her parents would just tell her what she wanted to do and swipe their cards to fulfill her wishes and support her passion for music.

They were first-time parents, but Amamiya was a second-time child. He was obedient and sensible, and didn't cause trouble at school, which made his parents feel at ease. Otherwise, they would definitely have stayed by Amamiya's side instead of going abroad to run around.

Although they always wanted Ren Amamiya to travel abroad with them during holidays to relax, Ren Amamiya was lazy and didn't want to travel far, so he lived in Tokyo all the time. Even in Japan, where trains connect the whole country, he rarely left Tokyo to go to other cities.

So, to outsiders, Amamiya's parents seem irresponsible for letting their child live alone at home. But in reality, the Amamiya family doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, especially Amamiya. Although he is physically a child, he is mentally an adult. If someone is watching him all the time, he would feel uncomfortable.

He didn't understand what Shuangshi meant, nor did he expect that Shuangshi would think that the two of them were somewhat similar. Objectively speaking, both of them had busy parents and lonely children at home, but in reality, their emotions were different.

Sōse's mother worked tirelessly every day to provide Sōse with a better environment, neglecting Sōse's upbringing. Amamiya's parents, on the other hand, only went out to pursue their own entrepreneurial desires after confirming Amamiya's ideas; the difference in the order of their actions may seem similar, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

"Really? You're stronger than me..."

Sōse leaned against Amamiya Ren, muttering softly.

She hadn't expected Amamiya to be so nonchalant, acting as if her parents weren't around all the time.

I can't be as strong as him.

But at this moment, Shuangshi was concerned about something else.

"Amamiya, why don't you form a proper band?"

Sōse looked at Amamiya, wanting to hear why Amamiya Ren didn't form his own band.

His skills are so amazing, there's no way he wouldn't have some. And his personality is different from Li Xi's; he's quite gentle.

That's right, after learning the truth about Ren Amamiya, Sōse's opinion of Amamiya has changed.

She also spent the whole day thoroughly reviewing the situation on Amamiya's side.

Because Xiangzi temporarily filled in as the keyboardist for Crychic after leaving, he clearly felt there were problems with the band after their first appearance, but instead of directly pointing them out, he waited twice more before finally erupting and violently disbanding the band. Even without him, it's highly likely that everyone in the band would eventually leave; Deng's condition wouldn't last much longer.

In the subsequent matter of reforming the band, he realized his own thoughts and conveyed them to Lixi, asking her to pay more attention and not to forcefully intervene and break everyone up again.

Ai Yin's guitar skills weren't good enough, so he taught Ai Yin guitar. He tried his best to teach a complete novice. If he hadn't had the intention of reviving Crychic at the time, the band would definitely have gotten better and better...

Thinking about it this way, I realized I'd become the culprit for this band's failures. They were all striving to move forward, while I... I was all alone...

So she didn't quite understand. What about Amamiya? He clearly loved music so much, so why didn't he have a band?

"A band...I've been in one."

"Has the group disbanded?"

"No, it's just that the person died."

Amamiya didn't explain it clearly. How could someone say something like "living two lives"? Even if he did, Sōse would just think he was lying.

Besides, how could he possibly tell others about something like this so easily? In addition, his past life was his past life, and he had no intention of telling anyone about it.

When a person is buried, the past should be buried as well. Bringing up those old stories is just chewing on happiness that can never be regained, more like a way for lonely people to kill time. Chewing on them a thousand times or ten thousand times will never bring back the excitement in their hearts at that time.

He was very open-minded, so he spoke vaguely. He was unwilling to go into detail about the past, but his words caused Shuangshi to misunderstand.

"I'm sorry... for reminding you of these things..."

The hand holding Amamiya tightened its grip. Amamiya hadn't explicitly stated who had died, but she assumed it was one of the other band members, which was why Amamiya didn't want to think about it anymore.

Little did they know, the person who died was actually Amamiya.

Girls are often emotional, and emotional people often overthink.

A single word, a tone of voice, an expression—all revealed Ren Amamiya's nostalgia for the past and his disappointment at the end of the band.

It is precisely because he has experienced all of this that he is unwilling to see himself still dwelling on the past.

They're really similar... but he's much braver than me.

Amamiya had no idea where the girl beside him was thinking, and he didn't even know what he had become in her eyes.

"It's okay, I don't care anymore."

He truly no longer cares, or rather, he can no longer care.

The two continued to lie there, not saying a word, just lying quietly together. Amamiya looked at the ceiling, waiting for Sōse to continue speaking.

The whole day was like this; Shuangshi kept rambling on and on, and he was just a quiet listener, listening to her talk about the past.

People always need a way to vent, and Shuang Shi has always needed a close friend to listen to her bitterness and give her appropriate feedback.

Mu couldn't do that. She wasn't good at giving feedback, and she didn't like to talk. So the only difference between confiding in her and confiding in a trash can was that the other person was a living, breathing human being.

Other classmates were no match either, because she wasn't familiar with them. Shuangshi's relationships with others had always been superficial, like gentlemen's friendships. She was always accommodating others rather than fulfilling her own inner needs, so naturally, it was difficult for her to open up to others.

Amamiya was an exception. He saw me at my most vulnerable moment, yet he comforted me and stayed by my side. He was always gentle to others, and his occasional coldness was a kind of gentleness in itself.

He always offered help when others needed it, so when he saw that Shuangshi needed help, he appeared.

Taking advantage of the situation, he successfully transformed Sōse's dislike for him into affection. In an instant, the distance between Sōse and him shortened significantly. She realized that she had misunderstood Amamiya and discovered Amamiya's truest self.

She had always strived to get feedback from others, and she had always wanted a safe haven where she could rest in peace. Clearly, she had found it now.

"I can't stay with you tomorrow."

The harbor is gone.

"do not want!"

Suddenly, Sosei shouted, clinging tightly to Ren Amamiya's arm: "Why? Where are you going?"

"Listen to me first."

Ren Amamiya didn't expect Sōse to react so strongly. He helplessly patted her head with his other hand and said, "Tomorrow is the school festival. I have to go and participate in the program. You can come with me tomorrow."

So it wasn't that he left, but just because of the school festival?

Amamiya's words put Sosei at ease. She snuggled up to Amamiya Ren and agreed to go to the school festival together.

She's never been to a high school festival before.

"Is this the Xiujin Academy?"

Standing behind Ren Amamiya, Souse, dressed casually, was very curious about Shujin Academy, as she had never been to any other academy before.

Actually, if Sosei hadn't gone to Tsuki no Mori, she might have chosen Shujin as her school, since Shujin is in Aoyama 1-chome, while the Nagasaki family is in Roppongi Station, one stop south of Aoyama 1-chome.

So when faced with this high school that piqued her curiosity, her eyes were filled with immense wonder.

Many schools have both junior high and senior high sections, but Xiujin is an exception. It only has a senior high section and no junior high section, making it a very rare school.

"It's very close to your home."

"Yes, but I've never been here."

This was also the first time Shuangshi had come here. Compared to Yuezhilin, Xiujin did look much simpler, but this was the kind of academy that ordinary people would attend.

Moon Forest was simply too glamorous, at least for Sosei. When she first entered Moon Forest, it was incredibly difficult. While others were nurtured from a young age, she, from an ordinary family, certainly had to put in a lot of effort to learn etiquette. But all of that stemmed from her mother's words: "I want to see you in the Moon Forest uniform; it would be so cute."

She is that kind of girl, a girl who always tries her best to meet the expectations of others. Perhaps only in this way can she gain the affirmation of others and find satisfaction.

"Let's go in and take a look. They didn't come to school yesterday, so I have no idea what they've done to the classroom."

Yesterday, the whole class must have been busy decorating the classroom to look like it was for the school festival, but Ren Amamiya couldn't leave her side because Sase was holding her back. Compared to Saseya yesterday, she was much more rational today and had calmed down, so she wouldn't keep clinging to Ren Amamiya like that.

Perhaps after today, tomorrow she will be able to put people's minds at ease... right?

Ren Amamiya was a little worried about Yi O①⒎四⒌ ⒐罒jiuba.

Chapter 80: Hands large, calloused and rough

"Amamiya! You're finally back!"

As soon as Ren Amamiya entered the classroom, a boy came up to him, put his arm around him, and pointed around: "Do you know how much trouble we had to make of the classroom yesterday without you?!"
