Joker's Band Game Story

"So fast? Wait a minute."

Faced with Li Xi's hurried behavior, Aine wanted to stop her, but Li Xi was already tapping out the rhythm with her drumsticks and didn't listen to Aine at all.

She seemed very impatient.

Hailing immediately noticed that Lixi's condition was very strange, but she had no idea why.

Is this moment really that important? Why rush to play instruments with others?

If this situation isn't handled properly, there's no way to play well.

Ai Yin hurriedly caught up with the beat. This song was the same one as last time, "Blue Sky Accompanying You," so she was able to keep up. Recently, she has been working hard to continue learning the guitar. After mastering the skills of two songs, her guitar skills are rapidly improving.

But Deng still couldn't understand why the bassist had changed, and she stood there silently.

Her silence made Hailing fully understand what was going on. She had just been wondering why the atmosphere in the band was so strange. It turned out that Lixi hadn't explained the situation to the other band members, which was why her arrival had confused them so much, and even the lead singer was unwilling to explain.

So she decided to stop, but then an accident happened.

The door was pushed open.

The opening of the door drew everyone's attention to the entrance, and Ai-yin's eyes lit up when she noticed who had entered.

"So refreshing!"

That's right, the person who came over was Sosei, who was planning to tell everyone that she was going to leave the band. She came here with Ren Amamiya, and after learning that Ritsuki had already rented a practice room, she came over to explain things to them.

But when she opened the door, she found that there were four people in the room, one of whom she did not recognize.

The other person was holding a bass guitar, so it seemed like they had already started practicing.

"I see, so there's a new bassist now?"

Sōse's expression grew even colder. Yes, that's who they are. Once Sōko chose to leave, they abandoned him and immediately pulled in Aine and Yōra.

When they decided to quit, they immediately found a new bassist.

They really acted quickly.

"Wait a minute, Sōse, actually it's..."

Aine wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.

If it were said that Riki called this bassist named Hachiman Kairin, wouldn't that shift the blame onto Riki?

She suddenly didn't know what to say; her brain was a bit overloaded.

But when did Lixi ever need Aine to smooth things over? She put her hands on her hips and looked at Shuangshi: "What else can we do? Keep waiting for someone who won't even send a message for days? We've already experienced this once."

Li Xi was referring to Xiangzi. After her first live performance, Xiangzi disappeared without a word. A few days later, she came back and suddenly said she wanted to quit Crychic.

"So you're also planning to quit?"

Li Xi looked at Shuang Shi, and Shuang Shi looked at Li Xi as well: "That's right, I'm also planning to leave here."

"What's the reason? When you formed this band, what promise did you make to Deng? Didn't you say you'd stay together for life?"

This answer made Shuangshi take a deep breath; indeed, that was what she had said back then.

But now she didn't care anymore, and she said directly, "Of course..."

Just as she was about to say that it was all a lie, that she was only trying to bring Xiangzi back, someone behind her spoke up: "Hailin? What are you doing here?"

Ren Amamiya walked out from behind Sōse. He noticed that Hirin was there and felt that it was not appropriate for Sōse to say it now.

There are outsiders here; let's talk about it after they leave.

Amamiya's words also reminded Sōse, who then looked at the bassist named Hirin: "I guess it doesn't matter whether it's for a lifetime or not, right? Anyway, you've found a new bassist, so you don't need me anymore, right? I'll just leave."

After saying this, Shuangshi immediately turned and left.

She had planned to say something more, but what's the point of saying it now?

Anyway, there's no place for her here anymore. This time the situation is completely different from last time, and her answer has become irrelevant.

Sōse's departure prompted Aine to call out, "Wait a minute, Sōse! Wait a minute! Hey, Tachiki, you, hey!"

Now, things have gotten really bad. As soon as Sōse saw Hairin, he turned around and ran away. Aine didn't know what to do either. She looked at Amamiya, who was still standing at the door, in a daze. Amamiya just shook his head calmly, signaling her not to chase after him.

Meanwhile, Hailing was packing up her bass guitar. She put the bass back into her box, picked up the box, and prepared to leave.

"Hai Ling?"

Lixi was surprised that Hailing was also planning to leave, but Hailing calmly said, "It seems they still can't forget their former members. Contact me again after you reach an agreement."

After saying all that, she glanced at the lamp again: "I'll cheer you on."

She did watch the live performance, but she hid in a corner, not wanting anyone to notice her.

So she heard all of Deng's passion for the song and his inner cries, and she felt that this band was different from the other bands she had supported before.

They may have other solutions, but it's also difficult for them to integrate into a team that is gradually starting to cultivate team spirit.

So in the end, Hailing gave Lixi one last piece of advice: "Your band has a soul, don't mistreat it."

After saying this, she left on her own. At this moment, apart from Amamiya Ren who was standing there blankly, the three people in the room fell silent.

"So what exactly happened? Teacher Lian, stop watching! Tell us what happened!"

Chapter Five: On the Reasons Why Aine Likes Sase

Ren Amamiya, a man who holds intelligence but never utters a word about it.

He stood there like a bystander, seemingly intending to continue watching as OMO, which made Aine impatient. She immediately ran to Ren Amamiya and pulled him into the practice room.

Since we don't have enough information right now, and we've finally found someone who can explain the situation, of course we have to pull them over and interrogate them thoroughly about what really happened.

"About Shuangshi... I think you all know more or less about what she did."

Now that everyone who was supposed to leave has left, today's rehearsal is officially over. But the appointment time hasn't ended yet, and we can't cancel it now, so we'll just sit here and listen to Ren Amamiya start talking about some issues related to Sase.

If Shuangshi's problem isn't resolved, the band won't be able to move forward. But right now, her emotions are still easily agitated, so we need to find a way to bring her back. And the other members of the band are more suitable for this task.

After scanning the three people in front of him, Ren Amamiya's gaze finally settled on Aine. She was the only hope that the band could bring Sōse back—after all, judging from their personalities, Akari couldn't do it, Riki couldn't do it, and Rakuna was even less likely to.

"Her sole purpose in joining the band was to recreate crychic, at least that was her plan before that live performance."

"But she said... she wants to be in a band for life..."

"Yes, Crychic for life. In her heart, there is only you and Lixi, and no place for Aine."

Upon hearing this, Akari raised her head and looked at Amamiya with a surprised expression. Her mouth even formed a small triangle shape; she was truly astonished.

But she was the only one on the field who was so surprised; both Aine and Riki already knew.

"So if you want to bring Shuangshi back, I have a question I'd like to know."

Ren Amamiya looked at Aine again: "Aine, what are your thoughts?"

"I?"

Aine turned her head slightly, pointing to herself, not understanding why Ren Amamiya had suddenly brought up her thoughts.

"You need to understand, Shuang Shi owes you the most in this band, so why do you want her to come back?"

Ren Amamiya asked a question that concerned him: why was Aine so eager to bring Sase back?

After all, the first person hurt by Sōse's actions was Aine.

Despite being hurt by someone, she always wanted to bring that person back, something Ren Amamiya couldn't understand.

"Because...because Sōse is so cute."

Aine, flashing her fangs, innocently gave a reply that left Ren Amamiya speechless.

Is it just because she's cute?

"She's the young lady of Tsuki no Mori! She's so cute and gentle. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her!"

With pink bubbles emanating from her, Aine's infatuated expression left Ren Amamiya somewhat speechless.

Are all girls like this...?

"And when I heard her talk about her old band, her eyes lit up."

"bright?"

Yes, there is light. That light is precisely why Aine was completely drawn to Sase.

"Besides... we all had our own selfish reasons for joining the band, so I don't blame her."

Ai Yin joined the band simply out of vanity, Li Xi joined the band just because she wanted to hear Deng sing on stage, and Shuang Shi joined the band simply to rebuild Crychic.

Everyone has their own selfish motives, so Ai Yin doesn't think it's a big deal. In fact, everyone's actions are hurting the other members of the band.

Add to that a little bit of being a sucker for good looks and rich girls, and you'll understand why she's so obsessed with Sakuragi.

Sōse must be a gentle child. She only reveals her soft side when she mentions Crychic, just like a sandwich chocolate. Underneath the hard chocolate is a soft filling. Just thinking about tasting that sweet and soft filling makes Aine feel all sugary.

"Okay, I think I understand."

Amamiya Ren covered her face, deciding not to discuss Shuangshi with Tang Xiaozong any further.

Seeing the other person's radiantly beautiful demeanor, Amamiya decided it was best not to ask any more questions.

"The worst..."

Seeing Ai Yin's infatuated expression, Li Xi couldn't help but comment.

"And what about Li Xi, what do you think?"

Ren Amamiya then asked another person, wanting to hear their opinions.

My views on the world of pleasure.

"I... If she wants to come back, she can come back; if she doesn't want to come back, I won't welcome her."

Lixi still has typical straight male thinking. She doesn't think that Shuangshi is necessary, but she doesn't feel uncomfortable seeing Shuangshi either.

To put it bluntly, for her, one light is enough; as for the others? She doesn't care.

Compared to the two of them, when Ren Amamiya looked at Akari, before he could even speak, Akari immediately said, "Yes! I want Sōse back! Everyone has to be here!"

She had already been hurt once and didn't want to be hurt a second time.
