Joker's Band Game Story

Subaru...chan?

The two of them each uttered a word, and together looked at An and Subaru following behind their grandmother.

An and Subaru were following behind their grandmother when she approached them and asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

The voice even involuntarily tightened, making Nina extremely annoyed: "Little..."

"Are you lost, Grandma? Let me show these two students the way."

After saying this, Subaru grabbed one of them with each arm and pulled them behind a wall not far away.

As for Amamiya... she had no choice; she couldn't possibly bring three people, but he probably wouldn't say anything out of line, right?

An and Subaru still had some trust in Ren Amamiya; compared to Nina and Momoka, Ren was a more reliable person.

Although Amamiya is the youngest of the three, she is the most reassuring.

"What happened, Xiao?"

However, there was one thing Subaru hadn't guessed, and that was... Ren Amamiya actually knew her grandmother!

Anwa Subaru's grandmother, Anwa Tendo, was a popular entertainer who debuted in the Showa era and is now a veteran artist in the film and television industry.

Subaru and An would never have imagined that such a famous person would know Ren Amamiya.

But that's actually normal, because Amamiya had also composed the opening theme song for the long-running TV drama "Detective Granny's Case Files" starring Anwa Tendo under the identity of "Kurusu Akatsuki," which became the reason why she and Amamiya got to know each other.

In order to create an opening theme song that fits the TV series, Amamiya went to the set to learn about the series, and naturally met Anwa Tendo there.

An and Tendo got to know this little genius. Despite being underage, he was able to create outstanding works, which even received a lot of praise at the time, with many considering his music to be one of the best pieces among the opening theme songs.

"It's just some minor thing about Subaru. I think it's more appropriate for her, the person involved, to tell you about these things."

Amamiya did not reveal the actual situation, but instead intended to hand over the power of discourse to Subaru.

He respects Subaru's choice.

(PS: I rewatched episode 9 and it seems the inability of the Mother Hen Card to recombine is being suppressed by a powerful force. I hope it's Toyokawa-sensei who's behind it, so I don't have to revise the outline. Toyokawa-sensei! Hang in there! Don't become a puppet! (Although I feel like that's almost inevitable.))

(PS2: Chapter 23 has been released. Actually, it was released a long time ago, but it was stuck and hadn't been approved until today. I asked the editor and finally got it working.)

Chapter Thirty-Two: Talking Behind People's Backs - Wu Yiqi, the Cold Chess Player, is Not a Lady at All

Ren Amamiya is tight-lipped, and it seems there's no way to find out what happened to his granddaughter from him.

However, his attitude suggests that it's not necessarily a bad thing in the strict sense; it's more likely that the two of them need to communicate properly to find out the truth.

"In that case, I'll ask Subaru properly and see if she's willing to explain the situation."

Since Amamiya wouldn't say, Anwa and Tendo had no choice but to find out for themselves.

She needed to learn more to understand Amamiya's true attitude, which was also in preparation for having a proper conversation with him later.

Anwa Tendo felt that he hadn't really caught up with his granddaughter's situation for a while, but every time he asked Subaru, she wouldn't give a proper answer and would try to cover it up.

Subaru, do you really think your acting skills can fool this old woman? I've been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and you haven't even been in it for half as long as I have.

So she went over to Subaru and heard her shouting, "I told you!" It seemed like they were... arguing?

How could a child behave like that? She should behave properly in public; this loud and disruptive behavior is not ladylike.

Anwa Tendo stood behind Subaru and asked softly, "Who are these two?"

She could tell that the two knew Subaru, so this casual remark was both a question about why she had acted that way earlier and hadn't introduced them to her, and a reminder that she should be more polite.

As a popular celebrity, she has seen too many people whose behavior is inappropriate and have suffered terrible consequences because of their words and actions. Therefore, she attaches great importance to her granddaughter's manners. A proper girl can bring more goodwill in society and will not be caught doing something wrong.

So when Subaru heard her grandmother's voice, she was immediately startled. She immediately put on the air of a well-bred young lady and introduced the two people to her grandmother: "Grandma, are you friends? You are friends who acted in the play together."

It's obvious she lied.

Anwa Tendo immediately saw that Subaru was lying, but she wasn't in a hurry and just smiled at Subaru.

She decided she had to give Subaru a little punishment, because this was the second time he had lied to himself.

The first time, she described her two friends as lost passersby, and the second time, she said they were friends who had acted in a play together.

Especially when she saw the taller girl ask "drama" in confusion, and Subaru stepped on her foot and elbowed her in the waist, she was completely certain of it.

However, it seems that they have a pretty good relationship, which explains why Amamiya's attitude was so ambiguous. If their relationship wasn't close enough, he wouldn't have sent someone to personally find out the situation.

"Since you are all friends, let's go sit down and rest for a while."

Anwa Tendo roughly understood why Amamiya didn't take the initiative to explain. They played so closely but had a relationship that they couldn't tell her. In addition, the incredibly clumsy acting just now made her curious about why these children came to find Subaru at this time. Shouldn't this be school time?

It was also Anhe Tiantong's first time visiting her granddaughter's school. Sitting in a café called 'Reno', she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so lively, it's dazzling!"

This statement has a double meaning, making it difficult to determine whether she was referring to the school or Subaru's group.

Anhe Tiantong still had a kind expression on her face. She smiled at the three people sitting opposite her, and the three people had different attitudes.

Renna leaned slightly forward, and it was clear that she was a little reserved, perhaps because of the presence of her elderly relative.

Tao Xiang leaned back, clearly a girl who was used to being carefree. This kind of girl seemed rather heartless, and it wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know her.

As for Amamiya sitting next to Momoka... she sits upright, no problem, she looks like a good kid.

Well, Amamiya doesn't usually sit this upright; she only acts this respectful because Anwa and Tendo are there.

When facing someone worthy of respect, one should give them sufficient respect, which is why Amamiya performed the best among them.

Even better than Subaru on the other side.

Anwa Tendo glanced at Subaru, who was also subconsciously bending over, showing that she was not paying attention.

"Because there are a lot of people, haha."

Even her answers sounded somewhat perfunctory, completely different from how she was when she was with me earlier.

Is it because these people came uninvited? Do I not want them to meet me?

Could this kid have gone to play in a band?

Anwa Tendo guessed the answer immediately; after all, with Ren Amamiya around, it was hard for him not to. Ren Amamiya was originally in a band, a fact Anwa Tendo knew.

She wasn't looking down on people who played in bands; she was simply surprised that Subaru had his own interests. However, she was a little curious: if it was just about playing in a band, why didn't Subaru want to talk to her much more?

Could it be that she's dating Amamiya? Is that why she's being so secretive here?

So she called those two friends away just now hoping they wouldn't tell her about her relationship with Amamiya?

Anhe Tiantong misunderstood this point, but she had only made a bold guess and planned to listen carefully to the answer later.

However, compared to the answer in a moment, she glanced at Subaru again.

"Subaru, your manners are lacking."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing his grandmother's words, Subaru instinctively straightened his back, clearly showing how extremely nervous he was.

Dealing with one grandma was troublesome enough, but these three actually showed up, making it even more troublesome!

"I've said it before, haven't I? An actor's demeanor is very important. When acting, an actor's usual words and actions will definitely be reflected in their acting skills."

It is the easiest thing for a person to play themselves, so maintaining proper posture over a long period of time is the best way to prevent making mistakes when acting.

Otherwise, a single mistake will not only require you to cut and start over, but it will also let people know your actual situation, affecting your reputation in the entertainment industry.

Although outsiders may not know, those in the industry are well aware that these rumors will affect your future development.

"Therefore, it is essential to maintain mental and physical well-being at all times."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Subaru's friends. Under her gaze, Momoka and Nina straightened their backs and stood at attention.

　Ling! Meng% First Release Okay, since I'm sitting in a chair, it's not exactly standing at attention, just sitting upright.

Only Amamiya remained calm and composed. He knew Anwa and Tendo's personalities, so he always maintained proper posture from the very beginning.

He didn't cross his legs as he might normally, and his posture was upright, making him look very energetic.

"I understand, Grandmother!"

Subaru was so frightened that she used honorifics, which showed that she was really panicked.

Anwa Tendo did not respond to Subaru, but continued to say to the others, "If the three of you find her manners inappropriate, please do not hesitate to remind her."

This was more of a polite remark. After saying this, she stood up and said, "Excuse me for a moment."

It looked like they were going to the toilet, but actually it was also to give the children a space to chat.

As she spoke, she glanced at Amamiya, her meaning clear. Amamiya also stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to excuse myself as well. This way, Grandma Anwa."

Amamiya and Anwa Tendo left, and at that moment, Subaru's gaze involuntarily fell upon the two of them.

She suddenly felt inexplicably panicked. Why did she feel that Amamiya and her grandmother seemed to have a pretty good relationship?

Could it be that the two of them knew each other before? Is it just my imagination? It must be my imagination, right?

Watching the two leave, Subaru finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed back down.

She's having such a hard time; why does she have to face this situation...?

"Subaru!"

"I see……"

Subaru was being verbally tortured by the two girls, while An and Tendo were chatting with Amamiya.

"Those two...could they be Subaru's band friends?"

Anwa Tendo had already guessed what was going on, so she directly asked Amamiya for confirmation.

"Did you see it?"

"The probability that you're in a band is very high."

"Really? So I was the reason for solving the mystery."

Amamiya didn't expect that it was because of her presence that Anwa and Tendo discovered the reason. However, even if she weren't there, it probably wouldn't have taken long for them to find out the answer.

Seeing Amamiya's admission, Anwa Tendo felt relieved.

As for her bandmates, that wasn't a problem at all, and she felt quite relieved: "But I didn't expect her to actually form a band. I thought..."
