Joker's Band Game Story

At this moment, Junta Mana, who is probably the only truly normal person in the agency, is looking at her tablet. The band's newly released music video has quickly attracted a lot of attention.

There were many comments and the topic became quite popular.

Mana was eating a donut while scrolling through the comments section, seeing what messages other netizens were posting.

The comments were varied. Some were happy that they had collaborated with Akira Kurusu again, some were curious onlookers who wondered why Mana, as a judge, was singing lyrics about criminals, some were Mana's die-hard fans who had different analyses and opinions on the song, and even some fan-made creations gradually appeared.

"'Has Hatsuka stopped appearing on screen lately because she made a mistake with Mana? Haki, you bastard...' Hehehe, what are they all thinking?"

Amused by the highly-rated comment, Mana covered her mouth and laughed heartily: "It's just that Hatsuka has been a little busy lately, why are you all overthinking things? We're good friends, you know~"

(PS: Chu Hua: Best friend? Red bean paste?)

Chapter Thirteen: Aine Has Been Found!

"Eh~ Tanuki actually bought me a gift? Red bean paste? Red bean paste!"

Ai Yin stared at the small gift box in front of her, her mouth agape involuntarily forming an "o" shape.

She never expected that Lixi would buy her a gift.

Her gaze swept over the others. The cat was eating squid strips and seemed to be in a good mood. Shuang Shi looked at the hair tie in front of her and was speechless, thinking it was a bit too childish.

As for the lights... she just stared blankly at the stickers, not knowing what she was thinking.

"These were all picked out by that guy Lian. If you don't like them, go talk to him."

Hearing Aine's adorable reply, Riki simply crossed her arms and said haughtily, "Ren Amamiya." While seemingly shifting the blame to Amamiya, she was actually telling everyone that it was Amamiya who had prepared the gift.

But this also implies that she herself didn't put much thought into the gift; being honest, she couldn't bring herself to take credit for someone else's work.

"But you paid for it, right? Anyway, thank you."

Sosei was the first to offer her opinion on this statement. Upon hearing that Amamiya had chosen the gifts, her attitude towards them changed, and she suddenly felt that they were quite nice.

However, she also knew Amamiya's personality. She felt that he wouldn't do something like buying something out of his own pocket and having someone else give it to him. So it was only possible that he suggested it and then Riki bought the gift.

"You're welcome."

Lixi blushed upon hearing Shuangshi's thanks. She turned to the side, not wanting to say anything more.

On the contrary, after Aine understood what had happened, she immediately ran over and hugged Lixi: "Lixi, you're so nice!"

If Amamiya was just helping to pick out a gift, then it's possible that Ritsuki didn't know what to buy and asked him for help.

Hey! Don't suddenly come over here! You're such a nuisance!

Then, naturally, he was kissed by Aine for a long time, which gave Riki an extremely headache.

So she didn't notice that Shuangshi's gaze towards her had a hidden meaning.

"I didn't expect you to come looking for Lian too... Lixi..."

As he rubbed his fingers, Shuang Shi felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

Deng noticed Sōse's strange little actions from the side. She glanced at Sōse several times, as if trying to figure out what she was thinking.

But as a little penguin, she obviously couldn't understand the profound emotions of humans, so all she could feel was how heavy the other person's emotions were.

However, seeing everyone's feelings, Deng suddenly had an inspiration. She took out her notebook from her bag and began writing lyrics on it.

Noticing that Deng had started writing lyrics, everyone immediately gathered around to watch her write new lyrics. They were surprised that Deng had inspiration again so quickly; it was truly astonishing.

For a moment, everyone at mygo waited quietly, watching as the lamp wrote mygo's new song stroke by stroke.

Shuangshi, on the other hand, focused her attention on the title of the song. She subconsciously felt that the song was not so simple—"Wheel Talisman Rain".

This song may become a classic in the future, but mygo doesn't know that for now.

However, once the light started composing, everyone waited with her. Mygo wasn't rehearsing today, so everyone was just resting.

"By the way, when does your school hold its school festival?"

Aine suddenly remembered something and asked Sōse and Tatsuki, "Our Haneoka is having its school festival next month, right?"

"School festival~"

When the topic of school festivals came up, Shuangshi couldn't help but recall attending his school's school festival with Amamiya. The school festivals of other schools were quite interesting, though.

"We should also be next month, although the teachers here haven't said yet, but according to the senior students, it should be next month as usual."

"Hey~ what about you guys? How about you guys?"

"The school festival in Tsuki no Mori is not open to the public."

"How could this be? ② Cold Three Spirit Wife (Part Four) Strip!"

Moon Forest is a prestigious private school; how could it possibly allow commoners to enter and exit freely? Who would be responsible if something happened? Students at Moon Forest are extremely sensitive and cannot be touched, so of course, it's not open to the public as a precaution.

Besides, it's a prestigious school, so of course it has to be shrouded in mystery. How can we just let you into their aristocratic domain so casually?

"Then I guess I'll have to go check out Tanuki's school festival~"

"That's still a long way off. There's no discussion yet. It'll probably be the end of next month at the earliest."

Lixi had absolutely no interest in the school festival; to her, it was just a hassle.

Hanasaki River didn't have much academic pressure to begin with, and since school festivals are usually held on weekends, Riki was naturally unhappy that her precious weekend rest time was being taken up.

But Aine was full of interest; she had long wanted to learn about other schools.

Although she didn't know when Hanasaki River would hold its school festival, Aine still welcomed everyone to come to Haneoka for the festival. Ritsuki immediately nodded in agreement, saying that she would definitely attend.

Although she attended junior high school in Yugaoka, there were no lights back then. Now that the lights are in Yugaoka, revisiting the place is a unique experience.

Shuangshi, on the other hand, was rather reserved and said she would consider it, but then she was pestered by Aine. Watching the two best friends play around together, Lixi couldn't help but purse her lips.

How could she not see that whether Shuangshi went or not depended on Lian? Everyone knew Shuangshi's feelings for Lian.

As expected, Lian is really popular; so many girls like him.

There was a strange feeling in her heart, and Lixi didn't know what it was. She just felt a little uneasy.

After Deng finished writing the lyrics, everyone left RiNG. Lixi said he would finish composing the song as soon as possible.

After being comforted by Amamiya, she was no longer in such a hurry to finish the piece in one day. Instead, she planned to go back and think about how to write it slowly.

As usual, she took the lamp home, while Sōse and Aine left together.

I have a feeling that Ai Yin will definitely go to Shuang Shi Jia to play with her again today.

Walking with Deng, the two now walk side by side, and Deng no longer hides behind Lixi as before.

She no longer felt any fear towards Lixi; she had come to understand Lixi's thoughts.

Lixi also expressed her appreciation for Deng—stemming from her stage performances and lyrics. She wanted to see Deng sing her heart out on stage, allowing even someone as imperfect as herself to showcase everything on stage.

And because Amamiya's problem was resolved, the low mood she was under also lessened a lot. At least now she no longer forces herself to put so much pressure on herself, and she is even eating her meals normally.

"Lixi, thank you."

When they arrived at the overpass below Xiaodeng's house, Deng suddenly thanked Lixi, saying, "I really liked those stickers."

The lamp that was lost in thought earlier didn't hear Riki say that it was actually Amamiya who chose it. She only knew that Riki had given it to her out of her own pocket, so she liked it very much and expressed her gratitude to Riki.

Being thanked so much, Li Xi suddenly felt embarrassed: "Ah, it's okay, it's okay, as long as you like it, um, as long as you like it."

She chuckled twice, then, with a self-assured air of coolness, waved goodbye from the overpass and chose to leave. She was a little embarrassed by the compliments.

She saw the small smile on the light, and she felt it was all worth it.

Once they reached a place where the lights were out of sight, Lixi covered her face and couldn't help but gasp. Her heart was pounding because she was so happy.

She was still hesitant to say more to the lamp, but perhaps this was a good start... The Lotus Sect was right, but...

I don't actually have those kinds of thoughts about lamps!

"I am back."

Back home, Lixi, as usual, called out from the entryway that she was home, and then began to change her shoes.

Usually, either no one responds to her, or her older sister in the living room will give her a brief reply. Her parents are busy with work and come home very late every day; after all, having two children at home puts a lot of pressure on them.

But today she heard a third voice: "It's Tanuki back~"

"cousin!"

Lixi immediately looked over and saw Yumi, who was chatting with Maki, sitting on the sofa. Upon seeing Lixi, Yumi greeted her warmly, saying, "Your panda plushie in your room is so cute!"

"Of course... No! Cousin, why are you in my room again! And how do you know that nickname!"

When Lixi heard the panda doll being praised, she subconsciously expressed her approval, but the next second she realized that her private space had been taken over by Youmei.

Although she wasn't particularly bothered by Yumi entering her room, the problem was that this panda was no ordinary panda, and it would be really embarrassing if she saw it.

And more importantly, how does she know the name 'Tanuki'?! It must be Ren Amamiya, right? It really is Ren Amamiya! He's the one who said it!

"Of course your friend told me! You seem to have a great relationship with your band members!"

Yumi clapped her hands and answered with a smile; she loved seeing Riki's adorable appearance.

The not-so-frank Xiao Lixi~

"No, no! That Ren is talking nonsense!"

"Eh~ You've started calling him Ren now~ You used to only call him 'Amamiya'~"

Yumi easily saw through the relationship between Riki and Amamiya. She hadn't expected that Riki would also start to like a young boy.

Indeed, Amamiya is a good kid, so it's perfectly normal for Ritsuki to like him. She actually didn't want Ritsuki to go to an all-girls school; if both junior and senior high are all-girls, how will he date in the future? While it might be safer, it would greatly impact his future development.

Children need to be challenged during their growth period. They need to be given appropriate pressure, otherwise they won't know how to communicate with the opposite sex when they grow up, and they will easily be seduced by the opposite sex.

However, if it's that Amamiya kid... Ritsuki has pretty good taste! But he's surrounded by plenty of girls, so he might just be bewitched by him.

While Riki was being tortured at home by her cousin, Aine also came to Souse's house.

"Ah~ Your place is so comfortable~"

Laying down on the sofa, Ai looked around and sighed at the usual deserted surroundings, "Didn't you plan to prepare more things in the living room?"

"There's nothing I want to buy, and I rarely spend time in the living room when I'm home alone."

Shuangshi felt that the house was too big. She usually stayed in her room when she was alone, and rarely used the living room.
