Joker's Band Game Story

The band mygo has finally been formed, so they should at least do a few more live shows, right?

"Deng is preparing a new song. He will go on stage after the new song is finished and he has practiced it."

Riki isn't usually a gossipy person, but Amamiya is no stranger to the band. He's helped the band so much, it would be inappropriate for him to just ignore him now.

Upon hearing that there would be a new song, Amamiya nodded in agreement.

Mygo isn't a commercial band, so they won't be performing on stage very often.

Participating in live performances is either about making money or just having fun. Unless a band is very famous, they usually lose money by performing live, so they don't perform on stage very often.

Therefore, preparing a new song for each performance is a good idea and a good choice.

"I see. Then I'll look forward to your new song."

"You really think our songs are good?"

When Li Xi heard that Amamiya actually said she was looking forward to their new song, she couldn't help but reply.

"Otherwise what? You don't think I'm only here to support you because I know you guys, do you? It's because you're good, you're a really great up-and-coming band."

When it's time to praise someone, Amamiya won't hold back. He knows that Riki always feels that he hasn't done well enough and is still lacking, so he's always been so serious and competitive.

But he also hoped that Lixi would know that she had done a great job and should slow down and stop putting so much pressure on herself.

Li Xi does put pressure on others, but compared to others, she puts the most pressure on herself. She is strict with others, but even more strict with herself.

"It's all because the lyrics to 'The Lights' are well written."

"The music you composed is also very good!"

Another compliment, this time specifically mentioning that Li Xi did a good job. This made Li Xi blush, and she turned around as if she was getting water.

　Wu Yin 『?Qi Ba (8)?Long Qi?Liu 1 Ling Meng "long talkative".

Her answer sounded just like a haughty tsundere, which made Amamiya chuckle.

"I've said it before, your songs are great. Whether it's the previous 'Ghost' or these later works, they're all excellent."

"Long-winded!"

Her voice grew louder, and it was clear that she, who was someone who responded better to gentle persuasion than force, was now completely at a loss as to how to deal with Amamiya's praise.

In the band Mygo, basically no one would praise Riki. Akari and Rakuna are both completely incapable of praising people, and Souse... she's also a tsundere, so asking her to praise someone is really too much to ask.

Ai Yin is the most likely candidate, but Ai Yin's reasoning is too poor. She can't appreciate how good Li Xi's composition is, so naturally she wouldn't praise her.

So, after receiving praise from Amamiya, a professional, Riki became incredibly shy again.

"By the way, what has Hailing been up to lately?"

With her back to Amamiya, Riki immediately changed the subject, asking directly about Amamiya Hailing's situation.

"Isn't she in the same class as you? Don't you know that?"

"how could I know."

At this moment, Riki seemed quite self-assured, and her words made Amamiya chuckle: "She joined a commercial band, and she'll probably debut soon."

"A commercial band?"

Li Xi hadn't expected that Hai Ling would choose this path.

It wasn't that she didn't care about Hailin, but she had asked Hailin before, "When did you and Sanjiao become so close?" Hailin didn't answer honestly and instead asked her if she was jealous.

Why are you jealous? I'm just curious about what's going on with you. Mikasa is a member of Sumimi, and she usually keeps her distance from the other students.

As for whether it's jealousy or not, that's a matter of opinion.

"So, among her teammates... is Mitsuka Hatsuka?"

"Yes, Xiao Mu is here too."

"Muto? Wakaba Muto? Why? Why is she in the band?"

Lixi didn't understand. Based on her understanding of Ruoye Mu, she shouldn't have joined this kind of band.

Didn't she never enjoy being in a band? Why would she join another band?

"Because Shoko Toyokawa was the band leader."

“!②鸠m冥巫氵巴祁yY?i)】|厁〇…”

Upon hearing the name, Lixi understood. Mu and Xiangzi were childhood friends, so it was normal for her to perform when Xiangzi needed her.

But this guy, Toyokawa Shoko... has actually formed a new band again?

"A commercial band..."

Lixi now roughly understands Xiangzi's situation. She had heard about Xiangzi's general situation from Amamiya before. Family factors led to her leaving Crychic, so it's normal for her to form a new band now that she's short of money.

She can't reunite Crychic because Crychic can't be a commercial band, and she can't make money from Crychic.

"Their band has now signed with an agency, the same agency that Sumimi is with, which is why Mitsumi Hatsuka is able to be there."

"I see. I'm not interested in that."

Riki told Amamiya to stop talking, as she had lost interest in the matter.

She had already sorted out the logic: it was because Chu Hua was in that band that they invited Hai Ling to join, and it was normal for Hai Ling to become closer to Chu Hua after joining.

That was enough. She didn't want to know about Xiangzi; what was there to know about a deserter?

Lixi still harbored hostility towards Xiangzi, although this hostility lessened considerably after learning that the other party had some difficulties, but she was still dissatisfied with her for not making things clear.

"Alright, it's about time. I should go prepare to support the other bands... With Hailing gone, those bands are even more short-handed now, and there's been a lot of work lately~"

Amamiya sighed, got up and left, leaving only an empty cup on the table.

"By the way, I'll listen to your new song when it comes out~ I'm looking forward to your new work."

"Stop nagging! Don't talk about this anymore!"

The blush that had just faded suddenly reappeared, and Lixi couldn't help but start rambling again.

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Wild, Drunken Bassist

"This is really quite unexpected!"

Ren Amamiya sat on the sofa, watching the person preparing a drink for him.

Ren Amamiya was genuinely surprised that the other person would invite him to her home. They weren't even that close; how could she have so easily invited him in?

"It's because there are some things I want to ask you. I won't feel at ease until I get to the bottom of these things. What would you like to drink?"

"Coffee milk."

"They don't have that... Never mind, this strawberry milk will do."

The other party placed a bottle of strawberry milk on the table as a drink for the guests.

She sat in her gaming sofa chair, turned around and looked at Amamiya: "So when exactly did you meet my grandmother?"

“Master Anhe, um... it’s been almost a year now.”

Amamiya reminisced about the past; it seemed like it was last year when he composed the theme song for Detective Grandma's Case Files.

This long-running TV series is like Detective Conan in the previous life; it's estimated that it will continue to be shown as long as An and Tendo are alive.

"Has it been so long?"

It was Anwa Subaru who invited Amamiya Ren to her home. She had indeed called Amamiya Ren over because she had some things she wanted to ask him.

After all, his appearance that day really frightened An and Mao; she never expected that he would actually know her grandmother.

That's a serious problem! She thought the two didn't know each other, which is why she kidnapped those two even more terrifying people, Renna and Momoka, and let him chat with her grandmother. So how much does he actually know? What exactly did he say to his grandmother?

Yes, she was going to confront him today, but she didn't know how to ask. If he hadn't done anything wrong, but she had become hostile towards him, who knew if he would do something else in order to get revenge on her?

So she planned to ask first, and then figure out what emotions to use when facing Amamiya.

"So what did you talk about with Grandma?"

"We didn't talk about much, just her recent situation and some things about you."

"You told her I formed a band?!?"

An and Subaru glared fiercely at Ren Amamiya. If he dared to nod in agreement at this moment, she would immediately lash out at him.

"I did not say."

Yes, they didn't say it; it was An and Tendo who guessed it.

Amamiya had a basic understanding of the relationship between the grandfather and grandson.

It's simply that they both care about and care about each other, which is why they're torn between their own selfish desires and their wish for the other to be happy.

An and Subaru want to play in a band, not act, but she knows that her grandmother hopes she can follow in her footsteps.

Anwa Tendo wants Anwa Subaru to become an actress, but she also wants Subaru to do what she likes.

If the two of them could sit down and have a proper talk, they would definitely find an answer, so Amamiya wasn't nervous at all, and An and Subaru wouldn't do anything to him.

As for the outcome... Amamiya guesses that it will most likely involve letting Subaru join the band.

After all, Anwa and Tendo are elders, and she will still let the younger generation have a happier time. Subaru's future is much longer than hers, and she will not stop Subaru from pursuing his own happiness for the sake of this short period of time.

Besides... what if? What if Subaru doesn't want to play in the band anymore? Can't he come back to being an actor then? She always has that as a backup plan.

When people enter society, having a way out or not makes a big difference. Most adults love their children and wanting their children to have a better life is normal.

Of course, there's also a compromise—playing in a band is a hobby, acting is a profession. Or vice versa: playing in a band is a profession, acting is a hobby.

In other words, she can play in a band, but occasionally talking and acting with her grandmother is enough to make Anhe Tiantong happy.

However, that would put a lot of pressure on her. It's a trade-off, and it depends on her choice.

These are all issues that Subaru should struggle with.

"So what are your plans? To talk to your grandma?"

"That's what I thought too."

Hearing that Amamiya hadn't told his grandmother about his situation, An and Subaru started to feel conflicted again.
