Joker's Band Game Story

"Did I think she would just be a good actress?"

Amamiya could also see why Anwa Tendo was there. Combined with the name of the school and what she had been saying before, she understood that Anwa Tendo hoped that Anwa Subaru could become an excellent actor.

But it's quite interesting that she wasn't angry about Subaru forming a band.

"Because Subaru once said that she really liked performing. It seems that this is not what she truly enjoys."

Anhe Tiantong shook her head slightly; she hadn't expected such an answer.

It wouldn't be accurate to call it an accident, since her own child had experienced something similar, so she felt more emotional than anything else.

"Do you want her to become an actress?"

Amamiya then asked another question, feeling he needed to know the answer to this one.

Although he knew Anwa Tendo as a kind and gentle old lady, he wasn't sure what she actually looked like.

This is ultimately a family matter for the Anhe family. At most, he can only advise Anhe Tiantong here, hoping that she will not hold a grudge against her granddaughter.

“If I really wanted her to become an actress, her mother would have been an actress long ago. I just hope she can live a happy and carefree life.”

Anhe Tiantong's expression remained as kind as ever. She didn't have such a demanding controlling nature, nor did she insist on making her child follow her plans.

She simply believed that An and Subaru liked being actors, which is why she kept supervising her as an actress, hoping to help her become an excellent actress.

So if she wants to play in a band, she'll support her.

There's a slight feeling of loneliness, because my children aren't continuing their jobs, so I can't really help them.

His network of connections was ultimately limited to the entertainment industry; he didn't have much say in the band scene.

"Amamiya."

At this moment, An and Tendo suddenly exclaimed, "From now on, Subaru is in your hands."

"what?"

Amamiya was bewildered by Anwa Tendo's words, wondering why he had been entrusted with this task.

Amamiya's reaction also surprised Anwa: "What, aren't you in the same band?"

"No, it's the three of them. I just came along because I was a little worried. After all, their lead singer has a rather... straightforward personality."

While it's described as straightforward, Anwa and Tendo probably understood what it really meant: they were afraid of causing conflict.

Did Subaru tell you that I came to school?

"No, that's not it. It's precisely because they're not here that they're wondering why Subaru has suddenly disappeared all this time. That's why I came to the school today to find out the truth."

Amamiya didn't expect Anwa and Tendo to be here, and he also didn't expect Subaru to be Tendo's granddaughter.

Although both of them share the same surname, Anhe, it is not impossible that they share the same surname. When he met Anhe Subaru, he did not immediately think of Anhe Tiantong.

"I see... I understand. Let's go back then."

Anhe Tiantong had a general understanding of the situation, so she said she could go back.

As soon as she returned to the hall, she saw Subaru sitting in the corner with an improper posture.

From an actor's perspective, her sitting posture could be described as quite barbaric.

But now that they knew she didn't plan to continue acting, An and Tiantong were no longer so harsh.

At this moment, An and Subaru did not notice that their grandmother had returned. She was still talking to her band members about their grandmother: "On the surface, yes, she was originally from Kyoto. If you believe everything she says, you're going to be in big trouble."

Hearing Anwa Subaru dare to comment on his grandmother at this time, Amamiya, who was standing behind Anwa Tendo, couldn't help but look away.

Without a doubt, An and Tendo heard these words.

What she said wasn't entirely wrong. After all, as members of society, when communicating with others, you should say some things and keep others to yourself; you can't say everything, nor can you believe everything.

But An and Subaru are different; she is family, so naturally, An has to give her all.

Hearing his granddaughter talk about him like that, Anhe Tiantong felt that he really needed to teach his granddaughter a little lesson.

Well, let's just leave her embarrassed and unable to back down.

(PS: Just rambling, I bought some Mygo plushies, but they forgot to include the pillow inserts for all seven. Customer service said they would send replacements. That's fine, but three out of the seven designs were wrong! My beloved Aine, Akari, and Rana were replaced with Bang!, Honkai Impact 3rd's Firefly, and New Game's One, Two, and Three! I spent ages looking for the last two before I realized who they were. Since I don't play Honkai Impact 3rd or Houbunta, I'm already looking for a new seller to order replacements (the original link is gone, so the seller said they can't exchange them, damn it)).

Chapter 33 Subaru: Despite giving it his all, he still couldn't defeat Nina.

Anhe Tiantong was a little unhappy, and when she was unhappy, she wanted to teach her granddaughter a lesson.

Talking badly about others behind their backs and lying to their faces is a bad practice.

So in an instant, she thought of how to deal with An and Subaru: "It's about time to go back. I want to see how much your acting skills have improved. Would the three of you like to come along too?"

She didn't even smile when she spoke, which was enough to show that she was indeed a little unhappy this time.

But when her gaze fell on Nina and the others, the smile returned to her face.

Her reaction made Nina and Momoka realize what a 'Kyoto person' really meant; that face was truly...

So when the scene changed, An and Tendo were already sitting in a corner of the rehearsal hall, with Amamiya standing next to her, watching the three rehearsing in the distance with a smile.

It was intentional. An and Tiantong must have done it on purpose. She even specifically chose a love triangle scenario for the three of them to act out.

But in some respects, it seems like they made the right choice?

At least Amamiya seemed to find it quite amusing.

Anhe Tiantong truly lives up to her reputation as a popular veteran artist. When she arrived at the school, she expressed her desire to borrow the rehearsal hall, and the school immediately agreed.

The other party readily agreed, and even hoped that Anhe Tiantong would make a few more requests. After all, Anhe Tiantong had said that she would come to the school to give an open class, and the school was naturally eager to fulfill her little wishes.

The school naturally welcomed the public lecture given by a popular celebrity, especially since the celebrity was giving a free lecture.

This isn't the first time Anhe Tiantong has done this. As a veteran artist, she naturally hopes that more actors will appear, so every year she gives free open classes at various art academies, which is also one of her ways to enhance her reputation.

With her current status, she's not short of money; what she lacks is fame. No one would complain about having enough fame; in fact, they'd love to have even more.

"We're going to see a great performance."

Anwa Tendo's words at this moment carried a hint of cunning. Undoubtedly, the fact that she still put Subaru's friend in danger after learning the truth showed that she was not entirely a kind and benevolent old lady.

That's normal. At their age, having been in the entertainment industry for so long, how could they not be shrewd and calculating? She was happy to see this scene and wanted to see what interesting sparks these three could create.

"Indeed, it would be very interesting."

Amamiya nodded in response, and he even started recording with his phone.

The reason he was singled out was clear—An and Tiantong expressed a desire to see a romantic scene, but filming a romantic scene with one man and three women wasn't suitable for young people like them. It would be better to let him watch from the sidelines while the other three had a love triangle.

The three women, now engulfed in flames, had no time to visit Amamiya; they were putting on a rather clumsy performance.

Strictly speaking, it's Nina and Momoka. After all, Subaru studied acting, so how could she not be able to perform it?

"Wha, what's the matter?"

"Uh... well, actually, I like you."

Without a doubt, Nina and Momoka's performance was disastrous. Amamiya did his best to keep his hand holding the phone from shaking and record the whole scene.

An and Tiantong watched the two perform with smiles on their faces. They clearly couldn't act at all, yet they weren't going to reveal the truth?

Subaru, your two friends are really great.

Even Nina couldn't help but laugh on stage; Momoka's exaggerated movements were truly unbearable to watch.

But Subaru held back. Not only did she hold back, but she also showed no sign of laughter. At this moment, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness.

Grandma's watching right here. Are you trying to run for comedian with this kind of acting?!

Wouldn't my lie just now be immediately recognized?!

At that moment, she felt despair when she thought about the improvisational script her grandmother had mentioned.

"That's right, an improvisational play. Just as you're confessing your feelings to her, your ex, Subaru, suddenly appears, intending to steal her away."

The script was very simple, but as an elderly woman, she wanted to see their performance.

Even after she said those words, seeing the three of them awkwardly laughing while quickly exchanging messages on their phones satisfied her little desire; she just wanted to see Subaru embarrassed.

Didn't you say your friends are theater enthusiasts? Well, I'll believe you then. But what if I get them to perform, and they can't pull it off?

She was waiting to see if Subaru would lower his head, admit his mistake, and explain the situation, or if he would give her more surprises, and she planned to continue to be stubborn to the end.

She was quite curious about what Subaru would do next.

After all, a person has to bear the consequences of their mistakes. She wanted to teach Subaru a small lesson so that she would understand how to treat others.

Amamiya's feeling that Anwa Tendou was a kind-hearted old woman was not entirely wrong, because Amamiya was sincere and rarely lied. How could Anwa Tendou speak ill of Amamiya Ren, who possessed a childlike heart? Naturally, she was also very friendly to him.

The two men, like close friends despite their age difference, watched the three men's acting from the sidelines. Both knew the truth, but neither of them spoke of it.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Subaru finally regained her composure and looked at Nina with deep affection.

At least, I have to perform well myself. As for Renna and Momoka, I'll just say they're newcomers and not very familiar with each other yet. Plus, they were too nervous with Grandma watching, which is why they performed like this.

She couldn't tell the truth; she had her own unspeakable difficulties.

So now, no matter how frustrated I am, I have to keep going with this performance!

"I still don't want to deceive my own feelings."

Subaru took two steps forward, and both his words and actions revealed the image of a true ex-boyfriend who intended to win back his love.

This was in stark contrast to Tao Xiang's appearance just now.

"I like you too!"

Subaru's acting is very good, or rather, she can only perform well when she gets into character.

An and Tendo watched Subaru's performance with smiles. She could already sense that Subaru intended to define their relationship as 'theater friends'.

Why is she so persistent?

I was a little annoyed, but also curious. If they were just ordinary band members, there was no need to hide it like this, was there?

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon Amamiya, and she recalled what Amamiya had mentioned at the beginning.
