Joker's Band Game Story

It's normal. Just like many Chinese students who graduate from university and don't know what to do, they say they want to take the postgraduate entrance exam. Whether they really want to take the exam is unknown. They just give themselves a false goal so that they won't be stuck with nothing to do next.

He had a general understanding of Renna's situation. She was bullied at school, dropped out of school, and came to Tokyo from Kumamoto to prepare for university entrance exams. Her father was an educator.

The word "educator" made Ren Amamiya feel a little uneasy. The idea that an educator's child was bullied to the point of being afraid to go to school was a bit too... hard to judge.

Perhaps this is just how Japan is; every family has its own troubles.

Naturally, it's hard to say how much of Nina's desire to go to university was truly her own heartfelt feeling.

"It all depends on your own ideas. If you want to play, then have fun. Hey, don't forget to pay."

Ren Amamiya sighed as he looked at Momoka, who was already quite drunk, unsure of what to say.

Tao Xiang is such a bad drinker, yet she loves to drink. If I hadn't been keeping an eye on her, who knows what kind of trouble she would have caused.

"Alright, everyone's eaten and drunk their fill, let's all go home. By the way, are you able to fix the light on your end? You shouldn't have trouble reaching it, right?"

The main reason for this gathering was that Nina's light bulb broke, and Subaru happened to have an unused light bulb at home, so he offered to give it to Nina.

So everyone gathered at Ren Amamiya's house and then came to Shibuya together for a meal.

Therefore, An and Subaru said that if they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have gone back and forth, since their home is in Shibuya.

"Of course it's no problem!"

Nina responded quite seriously at this moment. She knew she was short, but Amamiya's words made her stubbornly say that there was no problem at all.

"Alright then, I'll leave you be~ Momoka."

Ren Amamiya helped Momoka, who was also quite drunk, without insisting on going over to help.

He could see that Rina was like a little hedgehog, and it would be inappropriate for him to take too much care of her. The only person who could reasonably comfort her, Momoka, was now completely drunk and unable to speak.

So we can only let this stubborn little girl figure it out herself. At worst, we can ask her about the situation when Momoka sobers up. Amamiya doesn't think this kid is stubborn. If she really can't fix it, then she can just not fix it. If Momoka calls and finds out that it can't be fixed, then we can ask her to come and help.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Ren Amamiya paid for Momoka's meal and then everyone went home. Nina, carrying a lamp, went back to her small room alone.

Ren Amamiya's worries were justified. Nina, who was standing on the coffee table trying to put the light up, realized that she was indeed not tall enough and could not reach it.

This situation infuriated her, and she even considered jumping up to press it.

But she dismissed the idea the moment it came to her; she couldn't do it.

Installing a light isn't as simple as just pressing a button; it has to be turned. She's not a gymnast, so there's no way she could possibly do that.

Then naturally, the only option left is to ask others for help.

When Nina thought of other people, she couldn't help but think of her neighbor and fellow villager, who was also from the same village. She thought that Nina would probably help her.

Meanwhile, in her room, Miaomeng was looking at the video data and thinking about how to increase her number of video followers. Although she had consulted Ren Amamiya, it turned out that it wasn't enough. Her video views did increase again, but she still needed to find a way to explore new areas.

"It's really... so difficult..."

Miao Meng lay on the bed looking at the tablet, and no matter how she looked at it, she felt very unhappy.

The results improved somewhat, but they were never as successful as when I first started making videos.

Sometimes people aren't afraid of failure, but rather of success. One or two failures often don't extinguish a person's fighting spirit, but once they encounter a lucky success, they will continue to act with the mindset of "I've succeeded once, so how far away can the second one be?" They won't mention failures afterward, and even if they succeed, they won't be satisfied as long as they don't surpass this success.

"You did so well back then, why can't you do it now?" "You succeeded before; this isn't enough."

Success by chance is more terrifying than failure, and Miaomeng is now caught in this kind of madness.

Although her collaboration with Amamiya boosted her traffic and popularity, it wasn't enough, far from enough.

She longed for more, for the same excellent results as before.

But this dilemma continued to plague her. For a high school student like her, such temptations were indeed too difficult to resist.

Just as I was agonizing over this, someone knocked on the door.

"Hello, are you home?"

Miao Meng heard the little girl's voice outside the door and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

That's strange. Isn't the girl next door always very introverted? Why is she taking the initiative to come and find me today?

"What's matter?"

Meowmeng pushed open her bedroom door and asked Nina what had happened.

Nina, looking embarrassed, held up the lamp and said, "Sorry, I wanted to change the light in my house, but I can't reach it..."

"Oh, I see... Okay, I'll help you."

Miao Meng didn't expect that Ren Cai would want to ask her for help with this problem, but that was actually quite normal.

Although Nina is one year older than Nekomu, Nekomu, who is 1.64 meters tall, is much taller than Nina, who is 1.52 meters tall.

Otherwise, why would Nina be called "Kid Sister"? It's no wonder she's mistaken for a child with that head size.

Standing on the coffee table, Miaomeng easily installed the light on the ceiling, and Rencai thanked her shyly.

"Ah, it's okay, it's just something I did on the side anyway (Kumamoto)."

Responding to Nina in Kumamoto dialect, Nyanmu went back to her room to rest alone.

With gratitude in her heart, Rencai turned on the light and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the light was already illuminating the room.

Okay, now it's time to study seriously!

She picked up her phone and glanced at the time, but the next second she noticed something else.

She remembered that before dinner, Momoka had recommended a metronome app to her... Should she try listening to it?

So she opened Pandora's box, and...

"You really plan to let her join a band? She probably won't get into university."

Ren Amamiya, sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but joke, while Momoka, who was rubbing her waist as usual, casually said that nothing was wrong.

Why is she rubbing her lower back? Recently, Amamiya's way of waking her up has become increasingly fierce, which has led Momoka to say that Amamiya is no longer as gentle as before.

"Ah~ it doesn't matter. She probably didn't want to go to that university in the first place, right? Especially after what happened at school, how could she possibly have the heart to study? Don't be like those kids who all go to university and end up committing suicide."

Momoka, on the other hand, was more open-minded. Even when Nina's father came looking for her with a machete, she still wanted Nina to join her in playing in the band.

After all… “Her voice is just too amazing, she’s a natural lead singer, I can’t let her get away.”

"Okay, anyway, I don't understand what you girls are thinking. Just don't aim for a lifetime commitment. The last band I knew that was called 'a lifetime commitment' is still causing trouble."

As Ren Amamiya spoke, he saw Aine and Sase sending him messages.

There's not much to say about Aine's situation; she just wants to know from me why I suddenly stopped helping them.

She wasn't complaining about not being helped, but rather wanted to know why. It seems she had guessed something.

Ren Amamiya really shouldn't get involved in this anymore. Sase's condition makes it very difficult for her to continue playing in the band with everyone. Although Amamiya supports her continuing to play, her current emotions are completely beyond his control as an outsider.

So it wouldn't be a problem if Aine could help find the other person and have a proper chat, but unfortunately, Sōse asked her not to tell anyone about her home address.

Shuangshi needs some time to calm down and properly sort out his relationship with these bands.

In short—girls are dramatic. But it's only human nature, so Amamiya simply told Aine that "Sase didn't let him talk about it" and then put the matter aside.

Meanwhile, Sosei was asking him where he planned to go that night, as she had prepared a gift for Ren Amamiya.

She wanted to repay Amamiya for her help.

So Ren Amamiya told her that he would be going to perform at Shinsekai and that he would see her at Shimokitazawa.

At home, Sosei was eating breakfast alone, which she had made herself. When she saw what Ren Amamiya said, her eyes lit up, and she immediately replied to him, saying that she would go to see Ren after school.

"Gui'an~" "Gui'an~"

Upon arriving at the Moon Forest, some classmates greeted Sōse, and Sōse smiled and greeted them in return.

But everyone could tell that Shuangshi seemed to be in a very good mood.

Although she was smiling as usual, she seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today.

This good mood lasted for almost a week. After she sat down, she started chatting with her classmates, while Mu watched this scene from not far away.

She felt that Shuangshi had been in a very good mood since the beginning of this week, and she wondered what had happened to her.

Did reuniting with the band members, like with the other members, make Sosei so happy? Has she finally let go of Crychic?

Mu couldn't help but feel happy for her friend, who was no longer limited to crychic.

Unfortunately, Mu will be disappointed by this, because Sosei hasn't let go of Crychic, or rather, she hasn't let go of that once warm and welcoming environment.

Therefore, she now hates everyone who ruined Crychic.

She started to hate Xiangzi, and after leaving Crychic, she's now starting a new band.

She hated Lixi and Deng; they were so cold and heartless in accepting the new band and abandoning the past.

She hated Mu; the other person was always doing things she didn't want her to do.

She hates Rakuna, who actually performed Kasuga Kage on stage.

Therefore, she was unwilling to return to the new band and also unwilling to touch the bass again.

All she wants now is to be an ordinary little girl, the young lady of the Moon Forest, and to enjoy watching various performances at Amamiya in her spare time. That would make her perfectly content.

Yes, she has found a new home. She found warmth in Amamiya and fulfilled her needs through him.

Although she still feels a little empty inside, things are better than before. She is a girl who is easily satisfied, so she is unwilling to change the status quo.

Within this comfort zone, she found happiness, and now that she has happiness in her hands, she is unwilling to take any further steps outside of it.

After all... once you step out of that circle, you may never be able to go back.

She only hoped that she could be happy like this for the rest of her life.

(PS: Seriously, I'm speechless. This screenwriter is truly unpredictable, one episode is a masterpiece, the next a nightmare. My impression of this episode is the same as Lao Jiang's: the second half was fine, the problem lies in the first half. The first half was too fast, too rough, too rushed, making it impossible for the audience to connect emotionally. The performance in the second half was so unnatural, like a clown, that it was painful to watch. And to make matters worse, they even dedicated time to the opening sequence. Is the opening sequence more important than the plot? Episode 10 of Mygo, with its dumpling-making scene, was much more relaxed, and they didn't even use an opening sequence for the sake of the plot. Wouldn't it have been better to use that time to enrich the characters? It felt so disjointed.)

(PS2: But the C group is completely over. There are still 6 episodes left, and none of the chicken group issues have been resolved. Well, this show really had to be 13 episodes instead of 24. It serves you right for being so tight and making the audience unable to stand it. Now, in my heart, this show can't compare to Mygo anymore. The viewing experience is not as enjoyable as Mygo at all.)

Chapter Three: The Differences Between Bands

"Although our first live performance has successfully concluded, but!"

At this moment, amidst the starry sky, the End Band is holding an internal meeting.
