Joker's Band Game Story

"Even though everyone is gone and there's no music, this is still a song."

At that moment, the little girl began reciting poetry on the stage.

lamp?

It was only after hearing the voice that Ren Amamiya realized that the person on the stage was Akari Takamatsu.

How did she end up on stage? And in such a pose?

Thinking this, he subconsciously took out his phone and turned on recording mode.

Although I don't know what happened, I'll record it anyway.

“I want to sing a poem. In the past, someone took my hand and sang with me, but I destroyed everything.”

"Ok?"

Backstage, Kaoru, who was secretly eating a matcha croissant, heard the lighthouse's poetry recitation and suddenly became very interested.

That boring girl has become interesting again.

So she immediately grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, picked up her guitar, and skipped and hopped onto the stage.

Perhaps only a free-spirited child like her could be so at ease going on stage like this.

Offstage, Ren Amamiya had already started recording. The lights shone directly on Touka Takamatsu, making her figure clearly visible. She was alone, holding a piece of paper in her left hand and a microphone in her right, and began reciting the song.

"I lost my way, I lost my way... I took many detours, but even so, some people still choose to move forward."

Lenai had already secretly gone up on stage, but Deng, who was so engrossed in the poetry recitation, didn't notice and continued reciting the poem with her head down.

It wasn't until Léna started playing next to her that Deng noticed there was someone else beside her.

The spotlight shone on Lenai, and the two stood side by side on the stage. The lamp noticed this, paused for a moment, and then continued reciting: "I don't know the correct way to sing it, but I hope you can hear this poem, I hope you can hear this poem, and come back to my side once more, you who are no longer here, you who have changed, leaving me all alone..."

"Has it already started?! Oh my!"

"Don't make a scene!"

Aiyin's voice came from outside. Her flustered appearance showed that she was late. Behind her, Lixi hurriedly shouted for her not to be so loud, as it would disturb others.

But they were clearly too late, as the performance on stage was already coming to an end.

"Even if my voice becomes hoarse and dry, I've decided that I'll keep singing this poem until I get it to you."

After hearing this, Deng put down the microphone and looked firmly at the audience.

The audience was completely dark, and she couldn't see who was in the audience, but she wanted to share this song with others.

I want to convey this to Lixi, I want to convey this to Shuangshi, and I also want to convey this to... Xiangzi.

She hoped Xiangzi could hear all of this and understand her apologies to her.

Although she didn't know that she wasn't at fault, at this moment, she felt sad because the two of them left without saying goodbye.

Sometimes, words are too few to express everything, and only literary works can vent one's inner cries and let others know what one is thinking.

"Ah... they didn't get to go on stage!"

Ai Yin rubbed her head, surprised that despite rushing, she was still late.

"It's all because you insisted on going to the toilet on the way."

"Can you blame me? It's all your fault, Li Xi (7) Ersanling (4) EIXf (7) Sansi. If you hadn't been so slow and had come with me earlier, everything would have been fine!"

"How can you say this is my problem? It's clearly yours."

"yours."

"yours."

The two argued like children, and Ren Amamiya put away his phone and came over to persuade them: "Alright, instead of arguing here, why don't you go backstage and check the lights?"

"Ah! Teacher Lian, what are you doing here!"

Aine was startled by Amamiya's shout. She turned around and saw that it was Amamiya Ren. She immediately jumped up and down anxiously, "Why didn't you go on stage just now, Ren-sensei?"

"What am I supposed to do on stage? I have no idea what the lights are up to. Instead, you're all arguing here. Go check on her."

"Ah, Ms. Lian, we'll be going now. See you later!"

After being reminded of the situation with the lights by Ren Amamiya, Aine immediately grabbed Riki's hand and ran backstage. Riki shouted, "Let go! I can walk by myself!" but had no choice but to follow Aine to avoid falling.

This young man is really...

Ren Amamiya shook his head and picked up his phone to look at the video he had just recorded.

After confirming that there were no problems with the filming and that the recording was indeed very clear, he sent the video to Shuangshi.

'You don't need to say anything to me, I just want you to see this video.'

After sending that message, Ren Amamiya put away his phone and went to meet up with the band members who had just arrived. It looked like he was going to have another busy day providing support.

Back at home, Sōse had just finished showering and was drying her hair when she heard her phone ring. She glanced at it instinctively and saw that it was a message from Amamiya Ren. She immediately picked up her phone and opened it.

It's a video, plus a quote from Amamiya.

No need to say anything...

Sōse keenly sensed that the video might be related to the lamp, because only in this matter would Amamiya Ren speak so vaguely, even saying that he didn't need her answer.

Despite her thoughts, she still silently clicked on the video and watched it once.

Not quite satisfied with just one viewing, she switched back to the beginning and started watching again.

Once, twice, three times.

After looking at it countless times, she finally turned off her phone, put it aside, and didn't respond to anything, just continued drying her almost dry hair.

At this moment, her heart was as cold as ice, and she would never change her mind because of this video.

They've already found a new bassist, so what's the point of talking about this now?

Shuangshi's eyes were empty and black; she seemed to have made up her mind not to go back.

Meanwhile, at the Amamiya house, a small party was taking place, but Ren Amamiya was not included.

This is about their new band, so what does it have to do with Kan Amamiya?

"Time for meat buns~ Meat~ buns~"

Anhe Mao looked at the meat buns in front of her with a happy expression. She was already craving them and was just waiting to enjoy them to her heart's content.

Meanwhile, Tao Xiang picked up the sauce and sprayed it directly onto the meat buns.

"That's such a crude way to eat!"

"As expected of a rich heiress, Nina."

Tao Xiang couldn't help but comment that the sauce was too formal; ordinary people could eat steamed buns with this sauce without any problems.

"But shouldn't we leave some for Amamiya? He probably won't be able to eat it then, right?"

"Oh, no need, no need. He eats this stuff all the time. I just asked him, and he said we should finish it if we can. He doesn't like meat buns."

Tao Xiang rubbed her belly. She hadn't eaten dinner that night after hearing about the pile of meat buns, just waiting for them.

These meat buns were leftovers from Subaru's classmates' part-time jobs in Chinatown, and they just happened to bring them all over. Seeing the steaming hot buns that had just been heated up, everyone immediately started eating.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

Subaru asked Nina for her opinion on the meat bun, and Nina could only politely say that it was delicious.

Actually, she didn't think it was particularly delicious; it was just an ordinary meal. But seeing how polite the other person was, she felt embarrassed to say anything.

She felt very annoyed by Subaru's aloof attitude, but because he was Momoka's friend, she couldn't say anything.

"Speaking of the music..."

Momoka suddenly brought up the topic of the band's first song, and as soon as he heard Momoka mention the song, Subaru immediately perked up: "What, is it ready yet?"

"It's not that simple. If it were that easy, I wouldn't care. I'm not Amamiya, and I don't need to be as skilled as him."

"Then why did you call me over? Even though I don't live that far away, it's still a hassle to come all this way."

"I just think it would be better to discuss what songs to sing first."

The two immediately got down to business, while Nina was currently...

Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the backyard, where stray cats often roamed.

Just then, a cat happened to be strolling around. It noticed Rencai and trotted over to look at her... the steamed bun in her hand.

Wild cats eat both meat and vegetables; to them, anything is food. So Ren Cai broke off a small piece of meat and gave it to the cat.

The stray cat rubbed against Rencai's sleeve twice as a thank you, then darted away again.

"So, what do you think, Rencai?"

"Yes, it's delicious!"

When Nina heard Subaru suddenly calling her, she instinctively answered, but it was clear that her answer was wrong. This answer made the two of them gasp, wondering what was wrong with her.

However, the mention of Rencai reminded Momoka of something else: "Didn't I teach you how to use the software before? How's it going?"

"Hmm... I tried playing it out."

"Really? Did you save the beat? Let me hear it."

Upon hearing that Rencai had actually played with the instrument, Momoka immediately became interested and decided to listen to how Rencai had done it.

So Nina picked up her phone, opened the app, and handed it to Momoka so she could listen to it carefully.

Listening to the rhythm in the software, Tao Xiang sat on the sofa and shook her legs to the beat: "I remember when I taught you, it was about a week ago, right? To have reached this level in such a short time, that's not bad."

"Eh~ You can make a piece like this after just one week of practice? Amazing~" (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the previous sentences.)

Subaru couldn't help but praise her, but her praise seemed a bit too rigid, which made Nina nod a little embarrassed.

She had never practiced composing music, but Momoka mentioned that as long as you follow your heart, you can create good melodies, so she decided to give it a try.

"I didn't expect you to be so obsessed. You've been spending more than eight hours a day on this, haven't you?"

As Tao Xiang spoke, a sinister smile crept across her face.

That's right, she taught Nina how to use the software so that she could become interested in music. It can only be said that Momoka would go to any lengths to get Nina to like music and play in a band.
