Joker's Band Game Story

She is indeed very popular now, but what will make her even more popular is yet to come.

Ren Amamiya then started drinking tea again, completely ignoring the fact that the two people were staring intently at him, wanting him to give an answer.

But Amamiya didn't say anything. He just sat there, looking very comfortable. He wasn't even drinking tea anymore; he was savoring it.

After he finished his second cup, he put down his teacup and said, "Let's go, it's time to go to RiNG."

"What exactly do you mean?!"

Sōse gritted her teeth and glared at Amamiya, already getting angry at Amamiya's passive-aggressive behavior.

But Amamiya calmly got up and walked out by herself, saying, "Aren't you going to leave yet? Girl who's planning to end it all."

Seeing that Amamiya was actually about to leave, Aine immediately followed, calling out, "Ah, Amamiya, wait for me!"

She finally realized that Amamiya was not on the same side as Sōse. After all, her provocation had only angered Sōse, not Amamiya. As an observer, Amamiya could naturally see through her intentions.

Considering his previous instances of watching stage performances from the audience, one could guess that he had actually come to help call Shuangshi over, but because of his presence, he didn't need to say anything more.

Amamiya's reminder was also telling Sōse that it was time to take action.

"Just leave the empty teacup there. If we don't leave soon, they'll finish their performance and leave. Nobody waits for the end."

Amamiya provoked Sosei again, and his words made Aine understand why Amamiya was dawdling over his tea.

It's about compressing time, compressing the time that prevents Shuangshi from calming down.

If Sosei had been waiting in RiNG and calmed down before the live performance even started, she might have run away early. If she left and missed the live performance, wouldn't her trip have been for nothing?

Sosei didn't realize what Amamiya was thinking. She just suppressed her anger and replied, "I will end all of this."

"Really? Then let's hurry up and set off. One game of hide-and-seek is enough."

As Amamiya finished speaking, the three of them left the apartment and took the train back to Ikebukuro.

When I arrived at RiNG's venue, it was already 5:26 PM. There were only a few minutes left before Deng and the others' performance.

"Ah! I'm running out of time, I have to go backstage!"

Aine immediately ran backstage. Sōse wanted to follow Aine, but Amamiya held her shoulder.

"What?"

"Let's wait until the performance is over; they've all gone on stage now."

As Amamiya spoke, she pointed to the group of people already standing on the stage waiting for Aine, and then to the audience in the stands: "There are already many people waiting for the performance, aren't there?"

Compared to the few scattered performers at the beginning, Takamatsu's performance attracted quite a few viewers this time.

The appearance of the poetry recitation girl undoubtedly attracted many RiNG viewers, who all wanted to see when this poetry recitation girl would be able to gather the fifth person, namely the bassist.

Will the eccentric girls be able to wait for their band members to put on a unique performance? This has become a very popular topic. The poetry recitation by the lanterns has also changed from a warm-up to a special performance, and there are many audience members waiting for their performance.

After all, the audience also became bystanders, hoping that someone would respond to the call of the lights.

"Wow, so many spectators..."

Ai Yin finally managed to get onto the stage with her guitar, where the other three were already waiting for her.

Everyone knew she had gone specifically to capture Sōse, so the group waited for Aine to return before starting their performance.

"Finally here."

Lena couldn't help but ask, while Riki's gaze turned to Aine's back: "Where's Souse?"

"She's in the audience, with Amamiya."

As Aine walked to her seat, she explained the situation, but her words surprised Deng.

She didn't expect Shuang Shi to actually come.

While she was in a daze, the stage lights suddenly came on. But at the moment the lights came on, Takamatsu Akari also saw Sōse in the crowd, and Amamiya Ren behind her, who was standing on tiptoe, bending his arm and stretching out his hand to Akari, indicating that Sōse was right there.

At that moment, emotion once again overwhelmed reason, and Deng instinctively jumped off the stage and ran towards Shuangshi. Although the crowd did not know why Deng suddenly jumped off the stage, this unexpected scene made them subconsciously move aside to allow Deng to run to Shuangshi.

The moment Deng saw Shuangshi, he immediately grabbed Shuangshi's wrist tightly, turned around, and pulled her onto the stage.

This scene completely astonished everyone.

Chapter Thirteen: Poetry and Extraordinary Bonds

Grab it and refine it in an instant.

Having discovered Shuangshi, Deng naturally couldn't let her leave. Even though she was really trying her best to drag Shuangshi away step by step, and even though Shuangshi wanted to break free from her grasp with every step she took, Deng still used all her strength to slowly pull Shuangshi towards the stage.

Sosei wasn't entirely without resistance to the lamp, but her little actions looked more like she was being coquettish, lacking any real deterrent power.

Her upbringing as a young lady made her proper and restrained, and coupled with a deep-seated desire that she herself might not even be aware of, she successfully led the lights step by step toward the stage.

"let me go!"

Despite having far superior physical strength compared to Tamamo, Sōse's inner hesitation was no match for Tamamo's unwavering determination. At this moment, Tamamo earnestly pulled Sōse step by step toward the stage, and this steadfastness did not falter because of Sōse's words.

But Shuangshi was ultimately stronger than Deng, and she actually managed to break free from Deng's grasp. However, instead of retreating immediately, she stood there frozen in place.

She had completely forgotten what she had just said. All she could see was the lamp turning around, and she could clearly hear her breathing, which was so rapid and tinged with sobs.

She stared blankly at the light, then made up her mind, grabbing Shuangshi's wrists with both hands, her grip tightening even more than before.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

At this moment, Shuangshi was clearly not confident at all. She stared blankly at the lamp, watching the other person so stubbornly holding onto her hand.

This is the place she has always dreamed of, a child yearning for care, experiencing a moment of blissful disorientation upon seeing the sunlight.

Her body went limp all at once, and she was pulled onto the stage by the lamp at an even faster speed.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to end all of this..."

Even so, she still unconsciously spoke of her original intention for coming here, like an arrogant young lady of unparalleled grace.

Even though they deeply desire love, they say the opposite of what they mean.

She was pulled to the side of the stage, and at that moment, Aine reached out and grabbed Sase's wrist, pulling her directly onto the stage.

The light's strength wasn't enough to pull Sōse up, but Aine could. Sōse, whose heart was already as soft and sweet as mochi, naturally couldn't withstand the combined pull of Aine and the light, and was easily pulled onto the stage.

At that moment, the cat brought over the bass and placed it in Shuangshi's hands. Shuangshi was completely stunned. She looked down at the bass in her hands and subconsciously said, "Wait a minute..."

She only now realized that she had fallen into a trap, that she had been tricked by such a crude provocation, and that she had rushed here so hastily.

She even understood why Ren Amamiya insisted on calmly drinking tea at home—it was to prevent her from having time to calm down. When she arrived, they were about to start their performance, and Akari immediately grabbed her, giving her no time to react.

Even if she said she wanted to end it all, it was like punching cotton, without any force. She could only let them grope her body—they shoved the bass guitar into her hands.

A look of grievance involuntarily appeared on her face. She was confused and unwilling. She clearly hated everyone, and she clearly felt that Aine should hate her.

But why... can't they abandon themselves like they abandoned Xiangzi? Why is it that even in their current state, this pink-haired girl is still so willing to help them?

For a moment, she felt a mix of emotions.

"Oh!!!"

At this moment, the audience finally erupted in cheers. They had finally seen that all the band members had returned, and this saga had finally come to an end.

Having witnessed this romantic storyline, the audience eagerly awaited the band's performance on stage, hoping they could bring this series of events to a perfect close.

The screams and cheers completely silenced Shuang Shi, who had originally wanted to end everything, but now she couldn't say anything.

She was a very gentle girl, someone who was good at sacrificing her own comfort to please others. At school, she would always wait for her so-called friends to choose their preferred seats before she would fill in. Because of this personality, she couldn't possibly speak out loudly to stop it all when the audience was eagerly anticipating it.

When Amamiya saw this scene, she already knew that everything had succeeded. Sose was completely out of the picture. She could only return to this place that belonged to her. No matter how cold her words were, her heart had already given her the answer. She simply could not ignore the band that was radiating kindness and warmth towards her.

"What a great show!"

Standing next to Amamiya, Hailing couldn't help but say that she had been a viewer of this drama all along, and not only her, but also Xiaomu next to her.

They all cared about this band because it contained friends they cared about, and they wanted to see if the performance would end happily.

"Yes, they finally have their own band. This is their band."

Amamiya's words inevitably carried a hint of joy, as he sincerely wished that every musician could find their own place in the world.

Even if they had conflicts in the past, even if they weren't always so peaceful from the beginning.

But this doesn't mean they're a failed team. That's how teams are; sometimes there are minor frictions, but they always work together towards the same goal.

So Amamiya was happy to see this, but next to her, Hailin couldn't help but bite her lip.

"Lian, I'm sorry."

When she saw the band on stage, she couldn't help but think of her relationship with Amamiya.

She, Mutsu, and Amamiya were originally members of the same band. Although the band was formed casually and temporarily, Hailing felt that her departure was so cold and ruthless.

"You don't need to apologize. After all, it was mentioned when the band was formed that we could leave when needed. We were just an impromptu band."

Amamiya said casually, and he was indeed not surprised at all by Hailin's departure.

I just find it a bit strange that Hailing would join a commercial band with Mu.

"On the contrary, I hope you can find your own home in the new band, your true home."

"Or Lingmeng Liu Bajiu 5 Baling Siming 5 Xu Ba."

Hai Ling gritted her teeth slightly. She wasn't very confident about this. Perhaps it was because of so many failures that she was no longer willing to trust anyone except Amamiya and Riki.

But neither of them had any intention of forming a band with themselves for life. Even if they did form a band with Amamiya, it would only be a fleeting performance.

"I will definitely participate in that live performance."

"What live?"

At this moment, Mu couldn't help but turn her head and ask, wanting to know what Hailing meant by "live".

She left the band a week earlier than Hailing, so she naturally didn't know what new plans Amamiya and Hailing had. Now that she heard the live performance, she couldn't help but ask about the situation.

"A live performance... Now that we've formed a band, we should give a proper performance, right? Mu, are you coming?"

Amamiya casually asked Mutsu if she was also planning to come and join in the fun.

After all, Mu was a member of the band, although now he should be called a 'former'.

"No, I'm already very satisfied."
