Joker's Band Game Story

The lyrics and musical score were already sent to everyone yesterday, but it's clear that the level of teamwork today is quite poor.

Especially the bassist, who made Lixi really want to say something to Shuangshi.

But she gave up. She could tell that Shuangshi was very tired today, so she stopped pointing fingers at him.

More importantly, she's no longer in a rush. Slow progress is fine, at least there's progress. Poor practice is fine, at least there's progress.

"Indeed... Shuang Shishi had a dream today! She fired the wrong shot so many times!"

"You have no right to judge others."

"Hey~"

Ai Yin stuck out her little tongue; she had indeed played quite poorly today.

As for the others...

The cat was still playing randomly. Perhaps she sensed that there was no possibility of practice today, so she played quite freely.

As for the lamp... it could be said that it performed the most normally, but the singing voice was too soft and didn't play any supporting role at all?》陾铃VIII邬邻久拌溜揪〥.

"Well, well, it's Friday after all, I'm really tired~"

Sticking out her tongue and acting cute, Aine said that she couldn't entirely blame herself, since it was Friday and everyone's mind wasn't on practice.

"Never mind, let's go back after watching Amamiya's performance tonight, and practice the rest tomorrow."

"Eh~"

"What?! Today's practice progress is not up to standard. If you don't practice more tomorrow, when do you expect to practice?"

With a glare, Li Xi saw Ai Yin grinning and knew that she had agreed.

But from Aine's perspective, Riki has also changed quite a bit.

At least in her view, Lixi was no longer putting pressure on everyone. She didn't force anyone to keep up with the pace, simply saying they would continue tomorrow.

Overall, she felt much more relaxed, which made Aine less afraid. She was actually a little afraid of Riki when she practiced, since the pressure was quite high.

RiNG's performance has started, but there's still some time before Amamiya goes on stage, so everyone can stay here a little longer—some drink tea, some play with stickers, some eat parfaits, and some scroll through their phones.

"Hey! Surprise!"

At that moment, Ai Yin suddenly stood up, held up her phone, and spoke in Tang Tang's voice.

"what?"

Aine's strange behavior drew everyone's attention, and she immediately began to explain what had happened.

"Tickets! Tickets for the Budokan, these are tickets for Ave Mujica!"

"What it is?"

Completely oblivious to what was happening around her, Lixi had no idea that the band was related to Hailing. She just looked at Aiyin with a puzzled expression as she listened to her explain about the band Ave Mujica.

But when Li Xi learned that this band even had stage play performances, he just scoffed, "Huh? This can be considered a band?"

"Of course! Lixi, do you want to come along? I happen to have two tickets here."

Ai asked Lixi, but Lixi just said he wasn't interested.

Since Lixi wasn't an option, Aine turned her gaze to the lamp on the other side: "What about the little lamp? Do you want to come and see it?"

"Lights aren't good in crowded places, are they?"

Sōse was still drinking tea, but his eyes were fixed on Aine.

She wouldn't be interested in other bands, but she had heard of Ave Mujica.

Many students at the school were curious and interested in this band, so Aiyin, who keeps up with the latest trends, was naturally interested in them as well.

More importantly, she learned that one of the members of the band was her favorite blogger, Miaomengqin, so she cared even more.

If she wanted to choose someone from the band to go to the show with, it would only be Sosei; she wasn't interested in the others.

But instead of asking Shuangshi, she asked Lixi.

You asked Lixi but you wouldn't even ask me?!

Xiaodeng had been trying hard to listen to Aiyin talk about Mujica since the beginning, but she really had no interest in Mujica. Compared to that band, she was more interested in the sticker in front of her.

But when Aine called out to her, her attention immediately shifted to Aine's side, but was quickly drawn away by the stickers.

Without a doubt, the stickers that Amamiya recommended to Riki were indeed something that Lamp really liked.

"Hey~ what about Lena... where is Lena?"

Aine looked around again, searching for Rana, but it was clear that Rana had already run away.

She probably went backstage to sneak a bite of matcha bread.

"Oh, there's still one ticket left, what should we do?"

Aine covered her face and muttered to herself, feigning distress, but her gaze was fixed on Souse.

She knew, of course, that Shuangshi was the best choice, but Shuangshi might also refuse.

So she used this little trick to make Shuangshi not want to refuse. As long as she expressed, "I'm so lonely with no one around," the soft-hearted Shuangshi would agree.

"Nani?"

Looking at Aine with a displeased expression, Sōse realized that she had just remembered herself.

Seeing that Sōse's expression was clearly unhappy, Aine couldn't help but chuckle: "I'm thinking about who else to find, since Sōse, you're not interested in this band, are you?"

"But I didn't say I wouldn't go."

"Hehe~ Would you like to? That's great!"

"Otherwise, you don't have any other options, do you?"

Shuangshi crossed his arms and looked at Aine, which made Aine laugh twice more.

Is there really no other choice? It's not that there isn't, but she still wants to go with Shuangshi.

"Alright, enough chatting, it's time to go see the show."

Riki stood up and urged everyone to get ready to leave. Amamiya was going to perform soon, so of course they had to hurry and catch the show!

Even if it's just one show, everyone has some pocket money, so buying a ticket to support Amamiya is still an option.

"Ah...the front rows are all full!"

As soon as they entered the audience area, Ai Yin couldn't help but mutter to herself, but this was perfectly normal. They had entered halfway through the performance, and the earlier guests had already gone to the front row.

The bands that perform at RiNG are all normal bands; there won't be any bassist drinking on stage, vomiting, swearing, and giving the middle finger.

So the front row was already full, with a huge crowd waiting for the next band to take the stage.

"Isn't this normal?"

As Li Xi spoke, his eyes kept scanning his surroundings. Logically speaking, Hai Ling should also be watching Amamiya's performance at this time, right? But why couldn't he find Hai Ling?

Finding Hailing in a crowd is relatively easy; she usually likes to look from afar in the back row, so you should be able to spot her easily from there. However…

Was she absent today because of something? Could it be related to the band?

Li Xi was right; Hai Ling didn't come to Amamiya's performance because she was already performing.

After the last piece was played, the five members on stage bowed in gratitude, the curtain fell, and the five members of the band couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Today's performance has finally come to an end.

But they can't let their guard down, because they have another interview coming up.

"How was the performance?"

In the audience, Goro Akechi asked the man next to him, "Did it meet your expectations?"

"It's good, but not enough."

"not enough?"

"The hype isn't there yet. But that's okay, everything will be taken care of at the martial arts dojo this weekend."

The man got up to leave, and Goro Akechi followed behind him.

"Yes, the martial arts gym will deliver what we expect."

Goro Akechi smiled and replied, his eyes narrowing. He glanced at the curtain, unable to see the other person, but he knew that the other person would definitely make a choice according to his thoughts.

After all... this was a scheme that had been set up long ago, a scheme set up for Toyokawa Shoko and the Toyokawa family.

Those involved were unaware that they had been drawn into the scheme, while Xiangzi was still reminding the others about the interview later.

She was still thinking about the Mujica worldview, but she didn't notice that she was the only one among the group who was maintaining that worldview; the others simply thought it was a performance on stage, not the whole band.

Xiangzi was unaware of this discrepancy. Even during the interview, no one acted like a doll should. Only Xiangzi insisted on the Mujica concept: they were abandoned dolls, dolls without parents.

But is she saying this to maintain her public image, or has she already become immersed in this kind of world?

Her daily studies and house cleaning felt like a dream, an illusion. Only when she wore a mask could she feel her true self.

Why did she end up in this situation? Why can't she have the happiness she deserves? Her daily life had numbed her, and only at times like this could she feel that hatred.

She hated everything in the world, including herself. She hated her own pride—why was she unwilling to let go of her so-called noblewoman's dignity? She hated the Toyokawa family—why were they so cruel to her father? She hated her father—why did he become so despondent after suffering such a blow? She hated many others—why were they all able to be happy, while she was so pathetic?

Xiangzi has become extreme. She hates everyone equally, including herself, but her pride as a young lady prevents her from ending it all. Faced with the world's pain, she only wants to destroy it all.

So she put on a mask; she was an actress deeply immersed in her role, someone who wanted to forget everything.

She is oblivionis.

"Thank you to the members of Ave Mujica for the interviews. Now, please look forward to the Budokan performance this weekend!"

Finally, with the host's farewell, today's recording came to an end.

Have a pleasant evening.

The five bowed to the departing host, and only after the host left did Miaomeng breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to remove her mask.

But Xiangzi placed his hand in front of her face, stopping her from doing so.

"Don't take it off before going backstage, be careful, there might be eyes and ears on the other side."

"Eh~ You're worried about finding out Amoris's true identity is Nyan..."

"Amoris!"
