Joker's Band Game Story

She placed her phone on the bedside table, rubbing her hair, still unable to understand why.

"Could it be that he already has a band, but is keeping it a secret from others for some reason? No, that shouldn't be the case."

Ann Takamaki knew about Ren Amamiya's job as a band mercenary. If he really had a band, he would definitely be with the band members and practice together, right? But there was no sign of it at all.

So he probably doesn't have a band.

Why don't you want to form a band with other people? Is it because forming a band would prevent you from continuing to be a mercenary?

That shouldn't be the case, Lianjun isn't short of money.

Why is that?! So annoying, so annoying! Ugh!

Lying in bed, tossing and turning, Takamaki Anzu couldn't figure out what was wrong.

While thinking about it, Ann Takamaki fell asleep.

"Good morning." "Good morning."

Early in the morning, Ren Amamiya was greeting the other classmates.

Yesterday's game didn't affect his work today. After sitting down, he looked at the time and place of the band he was going to attend today.

"Candy Ice, rehearsal from 5 to 6 pm. Sakula Star, performance from 6:30 to 6:45 pm. WERFriend, rehearsal from 7:30 to 8:30 pm. It's alright, today is pretty busy."

After writing down the notes on his phone, Ren Amamiya put the phone away.

His orders vary in number, but today he had three, which is considered quite a lot.

However, he usually takes orders in RiNG, so he doesn't feel too tired, unlike Hailing who is constantly running around.

So after school, he went straight to RiNG and ordered his usual coffee and milk, waiting for rehearsal at five o'clock.

Ren Amamiya usually only takes orders through CiRCLE, and RiNG, as CiRCLE's second store, is also a place he frequents.

So he's a regular here, and Rinrinko often chats with Amamiya.

"Your coffee milk."

Unfortunately, another waitress in the shop always had a terrible attitude towards Ren Amamiya. She coldly served Ren the coffee and milk and then left in a huff.

"Really, Lixi is always like this."

Rinrinko stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Shiina Ritsuki's attitude. She still didn't quite understand why Ritsuki had such a strong hostility towards Amamiya.

Although Riki is generally cold to everyone, his attitude towards Amamiya is rather harsh.

"So what exactly happened between you two?"

"Hmm... the little girl is throwing a tantrum."

Ren Amamiya smiled faintly and shared his opinion.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly clear in the RiNG, where there were hardly any guests.

Upon hearing his voice, Li Xi gripped her teacup tightly, looking quite displeased.

But she didn't rush out to argue with Ren Amamiya, because she knew that Ren was right.

He was right. In that state, Crychic might as well have disbanded.

She never imagined that Toyokawa Shoko's absence from Crychic would have such a significant impact on the band.

She clearly found a keyboardist even more skilled than Xiangzi, but...

So does that mean Crychic is unsuccessful without Xiangzi? She's very unwilling to accept that.

Even though Deng worked so hard, and she clearly loved Crychic so much, this guy still left.

I'm not reconciled, I'm utterly and completely unwilling to accept this. Why did it have to be like this? Why did it have to be like this...?

She now dislikes Xiangzi very much because Deng's later unstable state was precisely because of Xiangzi.

Similarly, she didn't like Amamiya either, because he made Akari afraid to even sing.

His words that day were so harsh. What did he mean by 'every time you get together is just a waste of time, you can't even lick each other's wounds'? We're not like that at all...

boom!

Lixi couldn't hold back and slammed her hand on the table. The noise was heard by Rinrinko outside.

"Lixi..."

"I'm going out to tidy up."

Lixi wasn't in the mood to do this kind of thing right now; she felt upset, and seeing Ren Amamiya always made her feel bad.

She didn't think Ren Amamiya was wrong; she just felt that Ren Amamiya was being too harsh.

He usually seems like someone who's easy to talk to, so why did he have to be so decisive and thorough that day?

The next day, he stopped practicing, and so did the lamp.

So it must be his fault, no, it must be his fault.

As she came out, she saw Ren Amamiya sitting at the bar. He glanced at her and smiled, seemingly as a greeting.

But she didn't want to give any response at all, and just clicked her tongue before going outside to tidy up the shop's display.

"But hasn't this tantrum been going on for a little too long? It's been two months already, hasn't it?"

After watching Riki leave, Rinko quietly asked Ren Amamiya.

The two months she mentioned referred to the two months that Lixi had been working there. From the very first day she started working, she noticed that Lixi's attitude towards Amamiya had always been terrible.

Today, she finally got to hear more from Ren Amamiya, so she was naturally very curious.

If possible, she also hoped that Riki could reconcile with Amamiya, but this step was clearly Riki's own problem, and she could only try to help Riki figure it out herself.

“It’s been months and it’s no use. As long as she maintains this inferiority and weakness, she will never reconcile with me.”

After downing his drink in one gulp, Ren Amamiya stretched and took out his phone to check his messages.

"Weak? You mean Lixi?"

"Yeah, rather than her disliking me, it's more accurate to say she's too dishonest—so dishonest that she can't even face her own mistakes."

Didn't Ren Amamiya notice anything? He noticed everything.

Don't forget, he had already been in Crychic for two weeks when he said those things, so he naturally understood the interpersonal relationships within Crychic.

Who is this pink-haired girl in Chapter Ten? It's so hard to guess!

Ren Amamiya knows those four people in Crychic inside and out.

Lead singer Gao Songdeng didn't have the courage to sing; he just kept talking in a very soft voice, not daring at all.

Guitarist Mutsumi Wakaba is just a young girl sitting here with everyone, seemingly having no interest in this kind of team activity.

Bassist Nagasaki Sase seems to care the most about the group, but in reality, she has no idea how to take the initiative to guide everyone. Moreover, after the keyboardist disappeared, she seemed to have lost her soul. It was difficult for her to get herself together, let alone handle her own affairs.

Compared to these three, the most interesting one is Shiina Tatsuki, who invited him over. Among the group, she was the least affected, but she only cared about Takamatsu Akari. She usually used her strong, low-pressure aura to put pressure on everyone in the team.

Yes, everyone, including herself.

Perhaps this is the most interesting part: many people are strict with others but lenient with themselves, but she treats everyone equally, regardless of the pressure.

However, such a serious attitude was not suitable for the atmosphere at the time. In Amamiya's view, their disbandment was inevitable, and he had just given them a push earlier.

They get no pleasure from this kind of thing, so why force it?

Would you like another drink?

"Hmm...no, it's almost time."

Ren Amamiya glanced at the time; it was almost time for their appointment. He had told them he would be waiting for them at the coffee shop and they should be there soon.

Ren Amamiya, who had just glanced at his phone, heard a new commotion outside the door and immediately turned to see what was going on.

Outside the door, Shiina Tatsuki was sandwiched between two little girls.

"Light, are you okay?"

Lixi glanced at the light, and after confirming that she was alright, she immediately straightened her back and looked up at the pink-haired girl opposite her: "Who are you? What's up?"

The sudden hostility struck Pink Hair as odd; she couldn't understand why the other person had suddenly appeared before her.

Behind Riki, Takamatsu Akari subconsciously lowered her head and looked around.

She immediately spotted Ren Amamiya sitting in the RiNG. After noticing that he was there, Akari Takamatsu subconsciously took two steps back. After confirming that he was indeed looking at her, she turned around and ran away.

Noticing that the light had run away, Lixi immediately turned around to chase after it, but the pink-haired girl reached out and grabbed her: "Don't go!"

Pulled like that, Lixi couldn't catch up with the lamp anymore. She watched as the lamp ran very fast and disappeared in a flash.

Li Xi's face immediately darkened, and she turned to question the girl, "What do you mean?"

Seeing the two outside the door looking like they were about to argue, Rinrinko was startled. She immediately prepared to run out to stop them from arguing at the door, but before she could, Ren Amamiya stood up.

"I'll go outside and see what's wrong with them."

Ren Amamiya gestured for Rin to stay put, since there were only two waitresses in the shop and some customers waiting to order. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to intervene and mediate the fight.

"Then thank you very much, Ah Lian."

With her hands clasped together, Rinrinko immediately expressed her gratitude.

Ren Amamiya walked out of the coffee shop at that moment and overheard the two arguing about the lamp.

"I already told you, I was just inviting her to join the band."

"what?"

When Riki heard that the other person had actually mentioned this, she couldn't help but scoff, looking quite displeased. She seemed to want to say more, but when she noticed that Amamiya Ren had just come out of the coffee shop, she swallowed back what she was about to say.

"The worst."

After saying that, she hurriedly walked into the coffee shop alone.

"in argument?"
