Joker's Band Game Story

Hailing is now fully focused on the band Ave Mujica, because she no longer needs to worry about her concerns.

Before this, supporting so many bands at the same time was exhausting her energy and numbing her. She shouldn't interfere too much with the situation of other bands.

She's already learned her lesson from the past; Amamiya might not be able to save the day again if she encounters a problem next time.

Now, Ave Mujica definitely needs her to do more, and keeping her busy aligns with her mindset. However, she doesn't want to take responsibility for the new band; her heart is still with her previous band—Say Sad.

Although they only performed live once and spent less than a month together, Amamiya was the band she cared about the most because of him.

Or rather... all she cared about was Amamiya.

"Most of those bands have found new bassists since you left. Your departure has indirectly helped them move forward."

Amamiya couldn't help but sigh. The bands hadn't thought about finding new members because Hailing had always been in the group, but after Hailing left, they finally realized the crisis and went to find new members one by one. So Amamiya only had two or three more bands that needed support.

"That's good, otherwise I'll always feel like I'm putting too much burden on you."

Hailin glanced at the other side of the video; at that moment, Amamiya had also placed his phone aside and was looking at his computer, composing a new song.

He's always like this; whenever he has free time, you can see him either composing music or writing lyrics. I don't know where he gets so much inspiration.

How enviable! Amamiya is truly a natural at this. His songwriting, composing, and instrumental skills are all incredibly impressive, making Umino very envious.

It would be even better if I could play in the band with him.

"No, that won't happen. After all, supporting these bands is just a favor, not an obligation. If it gets too tiring, I'll just drop them or introduce them to other suitable band members. After all, I'm a middleman in a way."

"indeed."

Amamiya has supported so many bands that he knows many bands that really need help. Some are missing one key instrument, some are missing two, and some are even missing three. So if anyone needs help, Amamiya will help them form a band.

Therefore, thanks to Amamiya's introduction, some bands have already collaborated with others, so at least in the short term they don't need to worry about the shortage of bassists.

Bass players are indeed the most valuable asset in a band. Although we often joke about bass, they are truly the soul of a band. Without a bass player, it's difficult for a band to grow and thrive.

How are things going on your end?

Amamiya inquired about the situation with Hailin, as he didn't know much about Ave Mujica's situation recently.

He still cared a lot about Xiangzi. He was particularly curious about what Toyokawa Sadaharu had said back then. Why did he say that Xiangzi was unreliable?

Amamiya was initially quite reassured about having Hailin join her band, but after Toyokawa Sadaharu's comment, he became a little uneasy.

"It's alright, just like always, it's thriving."

Hailin didn't seem to care much and answered casually. But Amamiya pressed on, asking, "Isn't there anything else?"

"Other? Do you mean something else?"

Hailing sensed that Amamiya's words had a hidden meaning. Only then did she look up at the other side of the video, just as Amamiya was looking at her. Their eyes met across the screen.

“Toyokawa Shoko’s family told me… she’s unreliable.”

"Yeah, it's definitely a bit unreliable."

Hailing directly admitted this, but she felt that Toyokawa Shoko was not so reliable.

While the overall direction is fairly good, it's... too idealistic.

Shoko Toyokawa made a mistake that many Japanese people make: she assumed things would only go according to her own plan, and she was too optimistic about things.

Although things are going very smoothly now, Hai Ling doesn't think she'll have such a smooth ride in the future...

"I see... I hope nothing bad happens."

“It’s bound to happen.”

Hailing turned her attention back to the tablet, continuing to adjust the subsequent personnel arrangements: "Because she can't control the situation of the people in the band."

As an observer, she could see that Ms. Yutenji Wakame would eventually become a catalyst for conflict.

Because her attitude towards Toyokawa Shoko was the worst among the five.

Chu Hua and Xiao Mu both completely believed Xiang Zi's words, and they didn't care much about it, as long as their wages were paid as usual. Only Miao Meng was an exception.

She joined the band to become famous, so if the band couldn't meet her expectations, problems would inevitably arise sooner or later. However, Xiangzi overlooked this fact at the time.

"Tsk."

Hearing Hailin's reply, Amamiya clicked his tongue in disapproval; the thing he feared had come to pass.

Moreover, it's difficult for him to handle this kind of situation as an outsider. After all, he knows that Xiangzi will most likely not listen to his advice, and Miaomeng certainly won't listen to his advice either. He's an outsider and has no right or ability to make them listen to him.

As for letting Hailing speak... well, Hailing's attitude was very clear: she didn't want to take sides; she just wanted to be an onlooker.

After all, in her view, the band was disbanding, so be it. She wasn't short of money, or rather, what use would it be to give her more money? She was the type of person who couldn't hold onto money.

Amamiya knew that Hailin had a habit of retaliatory spending, which was not a good habit. Generally speaking, she couldn't have too much money on hand; she would spend as much as she had and could only save a little bit.

"Alright, I understand."

Amamiya stopped talking about Ave Mujica and started chatting with Urin about other things.

But he was already thinking about the band, and if any problems arose later, he would have to find a way to intervene.

So how should we solve this?

Lost in thought, Amamiya couldn't help but think of Toyokawa Sadaharu. Should she look for him again?

This is really troublesome...

But in any case, he still planned to wait and see, just in case Xiangzi could handle things well.

Some things, if they don't happen, no one will think they're a problem. Even if you tell Xiangzi beforehand, she might not listen.

After all, he had already seen through Xiangzi's personality. She had the arrogance of a young lady, so she could be quite stubborn at times. He hoped that nothing bad would happen to Ave Mujica.

Chapter Fifteen: Band Observation Record of Miaomengqierlingsijiuqishan IV

"It's raining so hard outside."

"Yes."

Standing by the window, Ren Amamiya couldn't help but look at the heavy rain outside. The typhoon mentioned earlier had indeed blown in, so there was both strong wind and heavy rain outside. It didn't look like anyone would be willing to come out.

"Those kids must be really sad, since today was their first live performance at Fanxing."

Beside Amamiya, Saeko Iwai couldn't help but sigh. She was drying her head with a towel. The rain outside was too heavy, and while guests might not be able to come, she, as a staff member, naturally had to.

So I got completely soaked outside, and just changed into some clean clothes I had prepared beforehand, so I wouldn't be all wet.

When she first came in, she was practically a walking seduction, her long black dress revealing her beautiful body in every way.

But Amamiya was the only male among the stars, so she didn't take it too seriously and went straight to the changing room to change into clean clothes, while the wet clothes were thrown into the washing machine.

Who knows why there's a washing machine in the Starry Night? Probably to prevent some unexpected events. Anyway, the washing machine isn't an expensive brand; it's just something to get by with.

"You're quite efficient; did you anticipate this all along?"

"Yes, I already had other clothes in my bag."

Amamiya answered casually, explaining that he often visited the Shuang family's residence, so his guitar case was always stuffed with clothes. As for why he specifically used a guitar case…

A guitar case can hold a gun, so what's a few clothes?

So Amamiya was the most comfortable in the entire starry sky, while the other girls were all more or less soaked.

"That's great~ I forgot to bring my bra when I went out, it feels so strange."

"I don't think it's necessary to open this kind of cavity."

Amamiya gestured for Saeko to stop talking, as if she were giving him a chance to fantasize.

The heavy rain outside soaked her to the bone. How could her thin dress possibly withstand such a downpour? Her clothes must be wet underneath too, and they're probably being washed in the washing machine together now.

So now she's going braless, and yet she's bringing this up here. Isn't she trying to seduce me? Isn't she trying to seduce me?

Amamiya still doesn't know what kind of girl Saeko really is. She seems to have no presence, but she's probably quite wild inside.

She also streams games every night, which makes her seem like a typical homebody.

"However, the store manager seems to be in a very negative mood."

Saeko looked at Hoshika lying on the bar and couldn't help but say something.

It's perfectly normal for Xingge to be down. She didn't want to see this happen in the first place. This was her sister's band's first live performance at Fanxing, which she valued very much.

"So, as I said, she's just a tsundere."

Amamiya shook her head helplessly. That's just how Hoshika is. She cares so much about her younger sister, but she never says it properly. She's always arrogant in front of her, and then she secretly vents her emotions behind her back.

"Aren't you going to spend some time with her?"

"It's pointless, just let her be there for a while."

Amamiya didn't go over, since this emotion couldn't be cleared up right now, so it was better to let her calm down.

Let's talk about other things after the live performance.

"I hope they won't be too sad."

"At least it's their second live performance, so they won't be too mentally broken."

They had participated in regular live performances with Amamiya before, so even if it was just the four of them at this second live performance, they wouldn't be too disappointed. This was just due to environmental factors, and it would be fine next time when the weather got better.

And with Hongxia there, she'll definitely be able to get everyone's spirits up.

As Amamiya was thinking this, he noticed that a guest had arrived.

"Ah~ the rain is so heavy~ Little Bochi, here I come~"

At that moment, a familiar figure walked in, and Amamiya looked up... wasn't that Hiroi Kikuri?

"Why are you here?"

"Hey~ Ren's here~ And you're here too, senior~"

Hiroi Kiku, who was usually tipsy, went straight to her senior's side and started talking about drinking.

When you mention live performances, you have to mention celebration parties; when you mention celebration parties, you have to mention drinking; and when you mention drinking, you have to think about which izakaya to go to.

Although her strange behavior made everyone feel that she was also an oddball, at least her appearance did ease the atmosphere at the scene.

However, Amamiya didn't expect that she would know Pochi-chan, but now that she thinks about it...
