Joker's Band Game Story

Sōse's words carried a hint of tsundere; he clearly wanted to cook for Amamiya Ren, but he insisted on calling it a return gift.

Amamiya didn't realize Sōse's meaning, but naturally, she still chose to accept her gift.

After all, relationships are about give and take; it's not necessarily a good thing to only give without expecting anything in return. Since Shuang Shi had the idea of ​​reciprocating, then so be it.

Needless to say, the sandwiches were quite good. The lettuce and tomatoes were very fresh, and the fried egg and bacon were cooked to perfection, neither too tough nor too raw.

After having breakfast, the two set off together on the tram. Amamiya needed to go home to change into her school uniform, which meant she would travel a long distance with Sase.

However, he had to walk a long way back to school, since Sosei's home was near Shujin Academy, and Tsukimori was located in Ikebukuro, north of Amamiya's house, which is where RiNG was located.

When Amamiya arrived at school, she was just in time to enter the classroom. The homeroom teacher, who was standing in front of the podium, didn't say anything, but silently adjusted her glasses and began the daily morning meeting.

There wasn't much to talk about at the morning meeting; it mainly consisted of the week's arrangements and other miscellaneous matters. After sitting down, Amamiya listened to the meeting while taking the opportunity to read a book.

As a student, one naturally has to study hard. Even if one's grades aren't perfect, one should at least avoid repeating a grade, right? He didn't plan to go to university, but that doesn't mean he doesn't plan to study. He still has to graduate, and he can't afford to repeat a grade because of poor grades.

After the morning meeting, the daily classes began. Amamiya listened selectively to the lessons, and he would start writing songs for the lessons that were not relevant to the exams. This was something he would do when he had nothing else to do.

He doesn't just copy songs verbatim; he also tries to incorporate his own understanding. Since he doesn't have a super brain, he doesn't remember many of the songs from his previous life very clearly, so he naturally has to add some of his professional reasoning and speculation to write the final melody.

This isn't particularly difficult; at least Amamiya quite enjoys doing it, as it helps him improve his music theory skills.

Composing music was quite enjoyable. By the time he came to his senses, the morning classes were over, and it was time to prepare for lunch.

"Lianjun, why did you change your lunchbox?"

Ann Takamaki, who was planning to have lunch with Amamiya, suddenly noticed this. She looked at Amamiya with a puzzled expression. In her memory, Amamiya's lunchbox seemed to be a very ordinary box, not at all like this exquisite one.

"It was a gift from someone else as a thank you present, so I just got a free meal today."

Amamiya didn't say much, and Anne didn't think much of it either. The two of them pushed the table together and happily ate together.

Anzu enjoys having lunch with Amamiya, and occasionally with her friend Shiho. As for the other girls... she always finds it difficult to fit in, and with the boys, she always feels that they look at her strangely; it's nothing like the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere she feels when eating with Amamiya.

Young Xing also suffered from school bullying, but the bullying she experienced was more like passive-aggressive violence. After all, she was too beautiful, and many girls were not willing to play with her.

The main reason is that she is too beautiful, which makes some girls jealous. In addition, her personality is not tactful, which easily makes others unhappy.

And so she was isolated. She couldn't fit into any group, so she formed a small circle with Amamiya, who sat behind her.

Amamiya usually seemed rather indifferent, and since no one paid any attention to him, he was quite at ease. In fact, he was a bit out of touch with the current student trends, and the only thing he could share a common language with was music.

Coincidentally, the music in this world is quite good, so Amamiya has a decent relationship with her classmates, but it's only a superficial friendship.

"Lianjun, I'm planning to start a band."

During lunch, Anne suddenly brought up this matter, and her words made Amamiya exclaim in surprise, "Create a band? So suddenly?"

He had never heard of Xing wanting to form a band before, and it was indeed a good thing that she wanted to form a band.

"Yeah, I've already got the president involved, hehe."

When the topic of forming a band came up, Xing couldn't help but chuckle. Her band already had three members.

She, Shiho, and Makoto Niijima are respectively the guitarist, vocalist, and bassist, making them a perfect pair.

"Really? Then it seems we're just missing a drummer to form a band."

"Yeah, hehe, I believe we'll find it eventually."

Anzu patted her chest and chatted happily with Amamiya about the band until lunch break was almost over. Only then did she reluctantly separate the tables and put them back in their original positions to prepare for class.

Where Amamiya couldn't see, Anzu tapped her head in frustration.

"What, isn't Amamiya planning to join the band?"

After school, the three band members got together, and when Niijima Makoto saw Takamaki Ann come over alone, he guessed what was going on.

"Actually, Xingwen probably doesn't even dare to ask."

Shiho, standing to the side, saw through the truth at a glance. Rather than saying that Amamiya didn't agree, it was more accurate to say that Anzu simply didn't dare to ask.

"Actually... I did hint at it, but... he probably still misses his old band."

After chatting about the band's situation at noon on the 16th, how could Xing not sense Amamiya's thoughts?

He had no intention of joining Xing's band after hearing that they were short of a drummer, which naturally disappointed Xing.

"Okay, okay, this is not surprising at all."

Shiho shrugged. She hadn't had any hope that Amamiya would join the band. If he wanted to form a band with Anzu, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until now?

Since Amamiya isn't planning to come, they really need to consider finding a new drummer.

"A drummer... how about we look for one in the game?"

Zhifan mentioned the Goddess Band recording, saying that perhaps he could find a decent drummer teammate there.

Although they felt the probability was low, they knew it was the most likely solution. They had no connections and no idea where to look.

What? You're asking why they didn't look for Ren Amamiya? Because they never even considered that possibility. They're outsiders, so of course they didn't know about Amamiya's identities as a mercenary and middleman.

However, it's not just Zhifan who's mentioned that the Goddess Band is recording; another band is also considering this game.

"Debuting from a video game?"

Miao Meng looked at Xiangzi with surprise. She never expected that they would choose to start their band performance from the game.

Xiangzi nodded seriously: "That's right. The game has the support of the String Scroll Group in China, and my plan is to use the game to create momentum. The game is currently in a hot growth phase, and cooperating with the game can quickly gain a sufficient fan base. Since we said we want to break into the Budokan as quickly as possible, we have to use unconventional methods. Of course, this is also closely related to the characteristics of our band."

Xiangzi opened the PowerPoint presentation so that everyone could get a good understanding of the characteristics of Ave Mujica. As a band with both theatrical and heavy metal characteristics, sitting in the front row would naturally provide an exceptional experience.

And what about games? They allow all the audience members to sit in the front row, a feeling that cannot be experienced in reality.

Once they become famous, the game and reality can run simultaneously. In reality, players can interact with them, and in the game, they can enjoy the play up close. This will be the best partner for their band, which is part of Xiangzi's grand plan.

She looked at everyone, her eyes full of confidence: "So this debut battle is our first shot to the industry, to tell them, we're here."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Rupa's Little Thoughts

The four people present reacted differently to Xiangzi's grand ambitions.

Some people were excited and eager to realize all of this immediately, hoping to become members of the upper class.

Some people are indifferent and don't care about such things at all; she just wants to fulfill Xiangzi's wish.

Some people smiled, but it was unclear whether they were so happy about the future or simply happy to be in a band with Xiangzi.

Some people remained silent, seemingly unconcerned about what Xiangzi had said.

She had someone else in her heart, and no matter what Xiangzi said, it couldn't move her.

After all, that weekend, she had already felt something more important than these words.

She could never forget what Amamiya said and the song he sang.

"Hailin, are you already aware of what I just described?"

At this moment, Xiangzi suddenly called Hailing's name, and Hailing nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

It's nothing more than putting her in charge of some of the subsequent action arrangements, which are all minor matters for her.

She had a clear idea of ​​what the five people should do next.

"Then the meeting is adjourned. Next, we will begin practicing the new piece. As our first performance, we not only need to learn the music, but also how to perform it."

Xiangzi waved his hand and began to inform everyone of the learning content they would need to study in the coming period.

Time is tight. The first performance is on the weekend. They need to make a name for themselves within this week. The game will promote them during this week. They must win their first battle and make it perfect.

"Yes, I understand."

The last member to join the band, Miao Meng, squinted and smiled, already feeling that a future as a big star was beckoning to her.

When the time comes, I will become a new celebrity, which will bring more benefits to myself and my family.

So she has to win, and win big!

Unlike Miaomeng, the others did not respond; they simply went to another part of the agency to begin practicing their new song.

The different responses from each person did not bother Xiangzi; in fact, this was more normal.

She demands high efficiency in her work; she's no longer playing house. This band project truly reflects her vision, and it must be successful.

"Really? Hailing didn't come to RiNG today."

Amamiya didn't see Hailin backstage, and he couldn't help but sigh that Hailin was now working so hard for her new band.

In order to work with Ave Mujica, Hailin even gave up supporting other bands, which surprised Amamiya.

It's clear that Xiangzi is planning something big, as he chose these strong individuals to be his team members.

Amamiya happens to know all of these people: Wakaba Mutsumi, Misumi Hatsuka, Hachiman Kairin, and Yutenji Wakana. She knows their skill levels very well. If it were really these people, there would be no problem for her to quickly challenge the Budokan.

"They're really working hard."

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but sigh, and he stopped asking anyone else about Hailin. Since Hailin needed to focus on her band activities, she would indeed be quite busy.

Ring ring ring~

Just then, Amamiya's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Nina calling.

That's strange. Why would Nina call me?

"Amamiya! Help!"

As soon as he answered the phone, Ren Amamiya heard Nina shouting loudly on the other end, which made him move his phone further away.

He was almost deafened by that shout.

"What's wrong."

Startled by the other party, Amamiya also composed herself and let Nina calm down first.

If I yelled again, I really wouldn't be able to take it.

"Subaru, Subaru wants to quit the band!"

Another one wants to leave the band.

Now, Amamiya gets a PTSD feeling whenever she hears this word. First it was Shoko, then Sase, and now Subaru. What, do you guys have to have someone leave the group during your journey to forming a group?
