Joker's Band Game Story

She wasn't afraid of a strong response, but rather of no response at all. Her goal today was to bring Shuangshi back into the band, so she had to make things clear today, at least forcing her to participate in a live performance.

She refused to believe that a live performance could make Shuangshi maintain this false composure.

That's right, it was all a facade of composure. Aine had already seen through Sōse's true intentions. Her silence was simply a ploy to quietly leave and go their separate ways. Even now that Aine had come to confront her, Sōse still wanted to have a clear conversation and then go.

But she was sitting in Sōse's home right now, and she could see one thing clearly—Sōse's family situation was problematic.

As an ordinary person, she couldn't understand why it was right for her home to be like a hotel, devoid of any human warmth. In addition, Shuangshi's answer just now made her realize that something was amiss.

I live with my mother.

What about her father? She only lived with her mother, so did she lack fatherly love growing up, or did her father leave home after she grew up?

So, if Shuangshi's mother can live in such a place, she must be a high-income person. Once a person has a high income, it is easy for them to be busy and not at home every day. Therefore, Shuangshi is very likely lacking love.

Combined with what she learned from Amamiya about Sōse's thoughts on Crychic and her infatuated appearance, Aine immediately understood that Sōse was projecting her longing for family onto the band, which strengthened Aine's resolve to bring Sōse back.

She had made it clear that if the band really reunited, rekindled their spirit, and allowed Shuang (〕〨七)二氵6林泗 (九)]齐II〉I四世 to project this longing onto the new band, she would be the most loyal person to the band.

Therefore, when faced with someone who lacks love, once a miracle is given to her, she will act like someone in dire straits, losing her mind and grabbing at every straw to save her life. So today, she must call Shuangshi to watch the live performance.

I'm not afraid of Shuang Shi's ruthlessness, I'm afraid of Shuang Shi not going. As long as I go, I'm sure I'll succeed.

"Is he two-faced, a liar, and full of malice?"

Aine started making her move, immediately mocking Sōse. She knew the only way to get Sōse to go to the scene was to provoke her.

The tactic of provocation always works. Especially now that they seem to be in an adversarial relationship, Aine would never blindly beg the other party to participate in the performance together. What she wants to do is provoke Sosei and get her to go to the venue and see Akari's performance.

Amamiya sat beside her, continuing to drink his tea, calmly watching Aine's clumsy attempt at provocation, which might have been driven by ulterior motives, but the corners of his mouth were turning up higher and higher.

In his opinion, these two were really interesting. One had an unfriendly expression but spoke so softly, while the other had a gentle expression but was aggressive. The right to speak that Sōse had given was completely seized by Aine.

Especially now, Aine's sarcastic expression is extremely amusing, allowing Amamiya, who is sitting in first class, to witness a truly entertaining spectacle.

Do you want to argue?

Sōse was somewhat surprised by Aine's personal attack, but she was more puzzled as to why Aine had come to find her.

Weren't they planning to pull me back? Why are they saying these things to me instead?

Is it a provocation? Or is it simply a way of opening up and wanting to scold oneself?

To be honest, if Aine had actually scolded Sōse, Sōse would have felt better. Sometimes, when people do something wrong, the more the other person refuses to forgive them, the harder it is for them to feel at peace. This little combo successfully made Sōse want to have a serious argument.

She really hoped to have a fight with Ai-yin, so that she could temporarily feel at ease saying that they should go their separate ways.

Are you feeling lost?

"what?"

"Amamiya said it."

This one sentence directly dragged Amamiya, who was just watching the commotion, into the fray; it was one of Aine's little tricks.

She wanted to see what Amamiya, the middleman, was planning to do.

From Sōse's perspective, Amamiya and Aine seemed to be on the same side, but from Aine's perspective, Amamiya was more like being on the same side as Sōse.

She had asked Amamiya Sase's address many times before, but Amamiya had never said a word. Today, however, she saw him waiting at Sase's door. It was obvious that this was not his first time here.

Once inside the house, he remained calm, sitting down and drinking tea without saying a word, leaving Aine puzzled as to what Amamiya was thinking.

Neither of them knew what Ren Amamiya was thinking, so they naturally wanted to bring him into the conversation, at least to get him to give a response.

Even explicitly stating that one is in a neutral position would be more effective than the current ambiguous approach.

So both of them turned their gazes to Amamiya. At this moment, Amamiya naturally saw through Aine's little scheme, but his reaction was quite interesting.

Amamiya remained silent, simply drinking his tea.

His lack of response made the two of them wonder what Amamiya was doing sitting there.

Having said all that, Ren Amamiya is still silent. What exactly does he want to do?

Besides this, Aine also had to think about another thing: if Amamiya didn't respond, what should she say to Sase next?

(PS: This is the last time I'm stating this. This article is completely separate from episode 7 of Mygo. Damn, just thinking about the plot of episode 7 and rereading this chapter makes me incredibly annoyed. I wasn't so upset when I first read it, but now whenever I write about episode 10 of Mygo, I can't help but grit my teeth and want to kill WSD and Kakimoto Hiroshi, and I keep thinking back to episode 7. WSD, you deserve to die.)

Chapter Twelve: Successful Provocation, Shuang Shi Takes the Stage

"The light is waiting for you."

Since Amamiya didn't give any response, Aine had no choice but to regain control of the rhythm herself.

She stated a fact directly, something that even she herself didn't know Shuangshi already knew—the lamp was waiting for Shuangshi.

That's right, Ren Amamiya had already sent Sose a live video of Tou, how could she not know that Tou was waiting for her to come back?

Sosei was such a afraid child of being abandoned that when she learned that someone was waiting for her, she found it difficult to say anything harsh to refute it.

Even the fact that Aine brought it up herself touched a nerve with her guilt.

She herself never expected that even though she was using Aine and others, they were all waiting for her to go back.

They were so utterly wicked, yet they were all forgiving them.

⑴〇⑴奇罒巫jiusi久⒏玲.梦 Therefore, Shuang Shi was unable to answer this question, and her face showed a speechless yet somewhat resentful expression.

He resented their forgetting of Crychic, but remained silent in the face of their indifference, yet directly forgave himself.

Seeing that her plan had worked, Aine stood up and looked down at Souse: "Even if you don't need me, I will continue."

She was still trying to provoke him, she was still trying to provoke him. She clearly cared a lot about Shuangshi, but at this moment she had to play the bad cop and provoke Shuangshi into anger.

That's right, whether you care or not is none of my business. I'll still stubbornly stay in this band. You might as well abandon your crychic revival plan as soon as possible.

She saw the resentment on Shuangshi's face, so she wanted to further inflame her resentment. She wanted to anger Shuangshi so much that she would run to the lamp and respond.

As she said before, what she feared most was that Shuang Shi wouldn't go. Even if Shuang Shi went and made a big scene, it didn't matter. At least she had to go in person. If she didn't go, it would be of no use.

Therefore, she even slightly raised her head, looking superior, doing her best to provoke Shuangshi.

Naturally, this tone lessened Shuang Shi's guilt, and with less guilt, her resentment and anger naturally rose.

"You just want to show off."

She also pointed out Aine's initial purpose in following the light.

That's right, whether Ai Yin is with the Light Group or the Shuangshi Group, her goal is always to show off and for that little bit of vanity.

But she knew in her own eyes that she was just saying that out of anger, because her initial goal did not mean that her subsequent actions would be consistent. She would take the initiative to seek help from Amamiya in order to complete the live performance, and actively and quickly improve her guitar skills, even playing the guitar until her fingers were injured, but she did not stop.

But at this moment, she deliberately ignored this point and simply responded to what the other party said. Like Aine, she hoped that Amamiya would say something.

After all, Amamiya was aware of Aine's actions, and he should have spoken up for Aine to refute him at this point.

But Amamiya calmly continued drinking his tea; half the tea in his cup was gone, yet he still sipped it.

In his view, the argument between the two had entered its second round, and they had begun to dig deep into each other's secrets.

This statement became Shuangshi's counterattack, his first response to Aine's constant provocation.

However, this counterattack seemed more like a helpless response. After all, she had no reason to refute Aine's previous words, so she could only counterattack from Aine herself. Therefore, Aine easily caught this counterattack.

"That's right, this is the band we started."

In Amamiya's view, this sentence was the most brilliant touch in this duel: "This is the band we created."

Firstly, this proves the grudge between the two, indicating that what started between them should end between them. At this point, the dispute between the two must give Aine a clear answer.

Secondly, both of them were scheming and had different initial intentions in forming the band. In fact, it could be said that they both took advantage of the other members of the team.

Sosei took advantage of Aine, Akari, and Riki, but didn't Aine also take advantage of Sosei and Akari? Her classmates all knew that Aine had formed a band with Akari and a young lady from Tsuki no Mori. She was the center of attention in the class. After all, forming a band with a young lady sounds like something to be envied, right?

The third point also brought Sōse and himself to the same level. Aine said that even people like herself who were in the band for vanity had given up their original intentions and completely integrated into the band, right? So you can do it too. As long as you let go of your obsessions, you can make up with us again.

The fourth point carries a hint of moral blackmail. This is a team we created. Since we created it, if you want to leave, you have to make it clear to everyone, instead of leaving without a word. As a band we created, you must see it through to the end. You can't just abandon it halfway through.

Even if you did intend to come and clarify things that time, you ultimately didn't. This time, you have to make things clear.

The meaning of the four points has been clearly stated. Sōse understood some of the meanings but did not know them, but Amamiya understood them all.

That's why he felt this was the most brilliant touch, absolutely brilliant. If this sentence were used in a debate, it would be a killer move. A single sentence can convey a lot of meaning, and the more the opponent can understand, the harder it is for them to defend themselves against it.

And there is a fifth point, a fifth point that even Aine doesn't know, a fifth point that is incredibly coincidental, like destiny.

When Sōse was at Asukayama, he asked Sōko a similar question—"Is it Sōko who founded Crychic?"

So how did Xiangzi answer at that time?

'So I ended it myself.'

Therefore, when Aine said those words, Sōse immediately suffered from PTSD. She didn't think about the multiple layers of meaning in Aine's words at all, and stood up directly to look at Aine, saying a reply that was extremely similar to Sōko's: "In that case, I will end it myself."

Sōse was indeed furious, or extremely upset. She felt that this moment was just like that moment before, but back in Asuka Mountain, she was begging Sōko to come back, and she was the weaker party. But now, it was clearly Aine who wanted her to go back, so why was she still the weaker party?

Why? Why should she always have to stand in a position of swallowing her anger and being looked down upon? That's why she fought back and expressed her true feelings.

But this also means that Shuangshi was completely provoked and could no longer control her emotions. She then made a tough decision and gave such a reply.

"Then Amamiya, what brings you here?"

At this moment, Sousei's gaze fell upon Amamiya, who had already finished his entire cup of tea. He'd enjoyed watching the show, hadn't he? Not saying a word, had he? And now? Were you still going to stand by and do nothing?

Faced with Amamiya, this jerk who had been watching with an expression of OvO (O being the glasses lens covered by the steam from the hot tea), Souse couldn't help but take his anger out on Amamiya as well, and even changed his way of addressing him to the unfamiliar 'Amamiya'.

However, Amamiya simply placed the empty cup on the table and asked a question that annoyed Sase even more: "Is there any more black tea? You brewed it quite well."

Is this about black tea?! Yes! It's! About! Black! Tea!

If she could, Sosei really wanted to throw her untouched tea directly at Amamiya, but her personality and character prevented her from doing so. She could only grit her teeth and glare at Amamiya before getting up and going to the kitchen.

What else could I say? I could only make him another cup of tea.

Sōse, you're so gentle~

After brewing Amamiya another cup of tea, Sōse was still glaring angrily at him. She and Aine stood on either side of Amamiya, waiting for him to express his thoughts.

Neither of them knew why Amamiya had come, and even now, neither of them understood what Amamiya Ren was planning.

He came alone and is now calmly drinking tea. What is he thinking? What does he want to say?

Aine dared not leave, fearing that if she left, Amamiya would say something to Sōse that would change her mind and make her stop going to the live performance. Sōse also kept an eye on Amamiya, wondering why Amamiya had come specifically to find him.
