Joker's Band Game Story

"This child seems to be pushing himself too hard."

Saeko squinted and continued to smile as she spoke, while Hoshika nodded slightly beside her: "But there's nothing we can do; it was her own choice."

If she needs help, she only needs to ask, and even if others don't ask, at least Ren Amamiya will help her.

After all, Amamiya is such a good person.

But she said nothing, silently bearing it all alone.

"That vain little brat."

"Yes, yes, she looks a lot like someone."

Saeko spoke meaningfully, and her words caused several marks to appear on Hoshika's forehead.

"Zezi."

"Ok?"

"Let's halve this month's bonus."

"No, manager!"

Knowing that Hoshika was just joking, Saeko played along, sweetly coaxing her in a high-pitched voice. The scenery here was quite lovely, too!

"Therefore, plans should be kept simple. Explaining things too much and making them too complicated will only keep you busy making plans but also make you lazy in completing them. A simple plan, on the other hand, makes it easier for you to have clear goals. Finding music tomorrow and people the day after—I don't think that's difficult, is it?"

Ren Amamiya, hands on her hips, asked them a question. The women exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

Indeed, after sorting it out like this, it turns out that it's not actually that difficult, because the sudden panic of not knowing what to do gradually dissipates with this plan.

However, looking at these plans, Hongxia couldn't help but smile.

"But speaking of the first plan... Brother Lian~"

Upon hearing her coquettish voice, Ren Amamiya immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Shouldn't you..."

"Since we're looking for cover songs, then finding songs by Brother Lian shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Nijika's words made Kita immediately understand what she meant, and the two of them rushed to Ren Amamiya and started to act cute.

"Oh, please! Oh, please!"

"Wait, I said I would only..."

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"This doesn't fit the plan..."

"Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"You guys shouldn't be so willful..."

"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!"

"Okay... well..."

"yeah!"

The two high-fived each other and successfully defeated Ren Amamiya!

Ren Amamiya helplessly picked up his guitar and looked at the two of them, saying, "But I'm only providing one song. You'll have to find the other one yourselves. You're about to form a band, so you can't keep acting like a child here."

"I know~"

Even just getting one song would be enough. The two watched excitedly as Ren Amamiya prepared to play a song: "But Ren-nii, where's the sheet music?"

"I didn't bring it with me today, so I'll just sing it live and let you see if you like it or not."

"What if you're not happy about it...?"

"If you're not happy, go find it yourself."

"Ugh, how heartless!"

Even so, the group still sat down obediently, intending to listen to Ren Amamiya's solo performance, after all, it was Ren Amamiya's performance, which was amazing!

Just then, Xiangzi changed into her maid outfit and was ready to start working. At that moment, Ren Amamiya started singing the first line of the song. The song started with zero frames, singing first and then playing the instrument.

'My hidden thoughts have already been seen through, and a torrential downpour is brewing in my heart.'

The moment the first line was sung, the mop in Xiangzi's hand fell directly to the ground.

(PS: Amamiya's song is "Kimi to Habit" (You and Habit), a song by a new rock band.)

(PS2: There's also ice cream related to this song on a certain website. Vegan fans who haven't tried it should give it a go. It tastes authentic. — [MyGO/Misunderstanding] "This time, I'll run towards you from the beginning.")

Chapter Twenty-One: You and Habits

Ren Amamiya was playing the guitar alone there, while Toyokawa ~I, Rin⑴wife+Sioujiu⑷Jiuba Xiangzi stared blankly at him.

Amamiya was still playing, and the girls around him were all looking at him with shining eyes.

This song is absolutely amazing!

'That sleepy-eyed face when she wakes up in the morning is so endearing, so endearing, so endearing.'

'That seemingly happy expression that only appears at night, I hate it, I hate it so much, but I'm still fascinated by it.'

Hoshika sat quietly watching Amamiya Ren's performance, while Saeko next to her was also drinking juice through a straw.

Every time Amamiya played a solo, the two of them would listen quietly like this.

To the two of them, seventeen-year-old Ren Amamiya was just a child. But he was more mature than anyone else.

More mature, more serious, and with an endless love for music.

He is not naive at all. His lyrics and music contain much content that he could not have created in the first place, and the emotions he expresses in his performances are not something he could have experienced in the first place, but he always manages to bring it all to life.

The clear, crisp voice, combined with the lyrics of the song, momentarily captivated everyone.

This is a kind of enjoyment, an enjoyment of music, enjoying Amamiya's performance, enjoying such a beautiful moment.

'We met, we met, and yet I'm overcome with grief. Even so, will we meet again? Thinking about whether we'll meet, why do I find myself hoping?'

'Just this once, just once more, will you become gentler? It's understandable that you might have those thoughts, isn't it?'

Kita and Nijika's eyes were sparkling, and Ryo, who was next to them, didn't take the opportunity to say anything. Instead, he watched as the main melody sung by Ren Amamiya gradually ended and the secondary melody began.

She could sense that the secondary melody of the dance (seven?) bell (seven) 〖⑹art must be even more exciting.

Is this Amamiya? She's truly dazzling.

Ryo actually felt a sense of envy towards Amamiya. She envied Ren Amamiya for his talent and for his ability.

"That's really amazing..."

She couldn't help but murmur to herself.

Perhaps it was because of listening to your performance that I wasn't so disappointed back then.

'Everything about you has become unlovable. Your hidden thoughts have long been seen through, and a torrential downpour is brewing in your heart.'

The lyrics matched the lyrics from the very first note, seemingly forming a loop.

He returned to the beginning in just four lines, singing the second chorus, but this time the lyrics had changed.

'Everything about you has become unlovable. Even now, you still want to go back to the way things were, you're still thinking about that.'

Xiangzi didn't notice that tears were already streaming down his face, one drop after another.

Tears wouldn't stop. I don't know why, but the happy memories of being with others at Crychic flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

The scene where he mistakenly thought Takamatsu Akari was going to commit suicide and knocked her to the ground; the scene where he asked Shiina Tatsuki to form a band with him; the scene where he met Nagasaki Sase for the first time; the scene where everyone went to karaoke for the first time; the scene where he saw the lyrics to Kasuga Kage's song for the first time; and the scene where he performed on stage for the first time.

And... the scene of her announcing her departure from Crychic that day...

Her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

'I'm sorry, I'm just trying to fill my heart with selfish thoughts, and I'm not cute at all.'

'When did your habits change, and I can't forget it?'

Xingge noticed that Xiangzi was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face. She wanted to get up and go over to comfort her, but Saeko pressed her shoulder down.

Looking at Saeko, she simply smiled and shook her head.

Saeko knew that sending Hoshika over at this point would be of no use at all; she now understood why Ren Amamiya was singing this song.

So it was prepared for Xiangzi.

Amamiya is always like this, helping all sorts of girls. Saeko also understands Amamiya Ren's personality and knows what he often does.

But to write a song just for a girl, that's really extravagant.

Well, as a listener, she was quite satisfied.

Amamiya is a gold mine; you can always find plenty of treasures from him. Only a handful of the pieces in his collection have actually been sung; the vast majority have been quietly hidden away.

I really want to see how many more wonderful pieces he has in his archives.

'I don't want to remember any of that anymore. But my hidden thoughts have already been seen through, and my heart is currently experiencing a torrential downpour.'

As the last sentence faded away, and Ren Amamiya finished playing her zither, everyone looked at Shoko Toyokawa.

In the quiet environment, only Xiangzi's uncontrollable wailing could be heard.

"Xiangzi..."

Just as Hongxia was about to say something, Amamiya Ren reached out and patted her shoulder, signaling her to be quiet. He then walked over to her with his guitar, squatted down, and looked at her, who was still crying: "Let's go, let's go to the room and talk."

"Brother Lian, what's going on?"

Although he was deeply moved by the piece and realized that there are always people more capable than him, Kita was still somewhat bewildered when he saw Ren Amamiya carrying the crying Shoko into the room.

Ryo, unusually, didn't say anything sarcastic. He just sat there looking at Ren Amamiya: "That's Ren. He's always like a great philanthropist. When he sees someone sad, he wants to use music to change that person."

"Yeah, Brother Lian is a repeat offender. How many girls has this been with?"

"Let's start with the first one."

"Hey! Ryo, don't pretend nothing happened! Even if I don't know about the others, I remember you were comforted by Amamiya quite a bit back then, right?!"
