Joker's Band Game Story

"It's alright, you have to get used to this in Japan."

"But I really can't get used to not having spicy food..."

"Spicy? From Sichuan?"

"Yes, yes~"

Spicy Sichuan girl? That's normal.

When it comes to the Sichuan and Chongqing region, it's perfectly normal for girls to have genital warts, given the established stereotypes.

The saying that you can make a man's legs go weak just by shouting "I'm from Shudao Mountain" is not a joke. Sometimes, if you really say that, the other person will be genuinely scared.

However, there is another point: Sichuan has a high humidity level, so people need to eat spicy food to dispel cold and dampness.

However, the Japanese don't like spicy food; their tastes are mostly mild, which might be something that the other side finds hard to accept.

"In that case... wait for me."

Ren Amamiya remembered that she had bought some chili peppers, so she decided to make her a simple stir-fried chili pepper dish.

"Cough, cough, cough."

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, just eat yours."

Ren Amamiya was coughing as he sat down, blowing his nose with a tissue, while Li Yaoling, sitting opposite him, looked embarrassed.

I miscalculated. I didn't expect my body to be so sensitive to chili peppers. *cough cough*

Coughing and blowing his nose, Amamiya hadn't been around chili peppers in a long time, so he was indeed choked by the stir-fried chili peppers, coughing as he continued to stir-fry them.

He was too old in his past life to like heavy, oily, and strong-flavored food, and in this life he has always eaten light food and is used to it. But a small plate of stir-fried chili peppers subdued him.

"I'm sorry to trouble you."

Li Yaoling was also very surprised and apologized. She didn't expect that she had just said it casually, and the other party would make this dish for her and make it look like this.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, cough cough."

After a while, Ren Amamiya finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That way we can finally have a proper meal.

"Thank you so much for your help today. I'm very grateful."

After finishing her meal and resting for a while, Li Yaoling prepared to go home. She still had a lot to do; having just arrived in Japan, she was indeed busy organizing various things.

So she greeted Amamiya in broken Japanese, and Amamiya Ren nodded and saw her off.

As for giving gifts to the neighbors, there's plenty of time to do that tomorrow.

"Amamiya... Ren, hmm... that's amazing."

Lying in bed, Li Yaoling looked at the ceiling and thought about her neighbor: "She's only two years younger than me, but she looks so mature... She feels like an elder."

A smile involuntarily appeared on her face. Recalling how Amamiya Ren would rather cough than not stir-fry the chili peppers, Li Yaoling immediately got up and began searching for something in her suitcase.

"I should give him a little something to say hello... What should I give him? What should I give him..."

Faced with such a good neighbor, she marveled at her own good fortune while also wondering what she could do for him.

This was something that Ren Amamiya didn't know.

He simply lay down on the bed after taking a shower, thinking about Crychic.

Xiangzi hadn't forgotten about music; he was certain of this. The fact that she would unconsciously want to take the sheet music whenever he took it out was enough to prove it.

She simply lost her confidence; she no longer had that confidence she used to have.

But regardless of whether he regains his confidence, one thing Ren Amamiya is certain of is that Sase's plan will definitely fail.

As Ren Amamiya reviewed Sōse's plan, he gradually discovered something interesting: Sōse was isolated and helpless, and given that Sōko was definitely unwilling to return to Crychic, her plan was bound to fail.

Is it really necessary to undertake a doomed mission alone? It feels a bit tragic.

"This band is really interesting."

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but sigh, he was truly looking forward to the future of this band more and more.

Each of the girls has her own goals and pursuits, so will they eventually break up, or will they miraculously reunite?

However, there is one thing that Ren Amamiya is unaware of.

That is, that girl Hongxia actually had her eye on Rakuna. On Sunday, she actually went to invite Rakuna to join the band.

Amamiya was unaware of this matter. Of course, if he had known, he would have stopped her—after all, Rakuna's personality was too capricious. If she hadn't been thoroughly interested, she would never have been able to perform on stage.

So you can imagine how much trouble Hongxia will encounter on Tuesday~

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Student Council's Three Requests and... the Band's Disbandment

Sunday is usually a time for Amamiya Ren to rest. She is usually busy for the first few days of the week, so she naturally needs to relax properly on Sunday.

So he stayed home all day Sunday, and near evening he made some egg tarts with Li Yaoling to give to the neighbors, and also told them about Li Yaoling, hoping they would take good care of her.

Li Yaoling's personality is fine and she is easy to like. After Amamiya did this, the neighbors all expressed their understanding and took extra care of Li Yaoling.

Putting everything else aside, at least after the neighbors have walked through the neighborhood, everyone can get to know each other a little. It's no problem to look out for each other when you meet in person; it's just a small favor.

"so tired……"

Li Yaoling collapsed onto the sofa in Amamiya Ren's house. Once you've been there a couple of times, you're used to it. This time, when she came to Amamiya's house, she even slumped down.

This sight made Ren Amamiya sigh and tap her on the head. After hearing her say "Ouch," Ren Amamiya went upstairs and said, "Now that you've delivered everything, you should go back and rest. It's getting late."

"Hey~ But you haven't told me about that little girl yet~"

"They're just childhood friends, why do you care so much?"

"Eh~ red bean paste?"

Li Yaoling asked Amamiya Ren about his neighbor, the shy red-haired girl.

This was the only neighbor that Amamiya Ren didn't ask for any special treatment from Li Yaoling; she simply introduced Li Yaoling to her and handed her the egg tarts.

"So who is it? I'm so curious!"

Li Yaoling really wanted to know, but she didn't ask too many questions. She just called out to Amamiya Ren downstairs, "Then I'll be leaving now~"

"let's go."

Li Yaoling did not go upstairs. She knew that the second floor was Amamiya Ren's private space. She hadn't come to Japan without doing any research, so she simply said goodbye downstairs and left.

Japanese people dislike others intruding on their private space, so she wouldn't casually barge in if she didn't know the person well. Besides, she was older than the other person; why would she act so childishly?

That's right. Even though she always felt that she was being taken care of by Ren Amamiya, she was still unwilling to give in on this point. She should be the older sister!

Compared to the peaceful Sunday, Monday was busy again.

"Student council president? Looking for me?"

Upon hearing his classmate mention this, Ren Amamiya pointed to himself. He racked his brains trying to figure out what he had done recently that would warrant the student council president personally seeking him out.

"It's probably some kind of request, after all, Amamiya-san is really good at playing the guitar."

One classmate casually remarked that neither he nor anyone else believed that Ren Amamiya had gotten the student council president to come to him because he had done something wrong.

Not only was Ren Amamiya's personality not like that of someone who would commit a crime, but more importantly, the student council president's attitude was rather soft when he came to see him.

Sometimes attitude can reveal why someone came to Amamiya. If Amamiya has made a mistake, their attitude will be more assertive and their words will be colder.

It didn't sound like a request, but rather like someone politely asking a question.

"I see. Then let's go to the student council and find out what's going on."

Ren Amamiya nodded, not asking too many questions. Even though he was so aloof in class, everyone treated him very well.

Ren Amamiya maintains a certain distance from the other students in the class, or perhaps that's just his personality. He only appears when someone needs help, and when no one needs help, he sits quietly to the side and watches.

He didn't have many friends in his class, and he enjoyed that. He was already quite lively at the livehouse, so being at school gave him some peace and quiet.

He would listen in on classes, but he understood most of the knowledge points. He seemed to be a genius when it came to learning. However, he didn't plan to go to university. There were no tutoring classes after school, and Xiujin wasn't particularly strict about college entrance exams. He was quite carefree.

So during class, he would always be thinking about the music with his head down, and he would usually create a lot of content in one class.

Ren Amamiya felt a sense of relief as he enjoyed the leisurely school days again; he still really liked this kind of life.

He went to find the student council president during lunchtime, and as for lunch... he happened to have bought bread today, so it was fine to have a meal like that.

dong dong dong.

I knocked gently on the door of the student council office, and someone opened it quickly.

It was Makoto Niijima. As the student council president, she came to Ren Amamiya's classroom door again in the morning to find him. However, the matter she wanted to discuss was too important to explain during a break, so she asked him to come to the student council office at noon to talk.

Shinya Niijima had already prepared everything, and when Ren Amamiya arrived, he placed the prepared drinks in front of him.

"So, President, what brings you here?"

Ren Amamiya didn't bother with pleasantries; he went straight to asking the other person about the matter.

Seeing that Ren Amamiya had gotten straight to the point, Makoto Niijima then recounted a few important matters.

"There are three things we plan to do by inviting Amamiya-san here today. One is about the school festival next month, and we hope that Amamiya-san can participate in the performance."

The school festival is an open event that allows outsiders to learn about the school. Therefore, the school has proposed activities for the school festival, and anyone who wants to perform on stage can participate.

It's obvious that the school also intends to use Ren Amamiya as an example, since most people in the industry have heard of his fame to some extent, and he even has some so-called fans.

Why are they called fans? Because he always goes on stage to perform with other bands, and the fans of those bands become fans of Ren Amamiya, but they obviously don't know that Ren Amamiya is a mercenary who is just making a cameo appearance.

Furthermore, since Ren Amamiya doesn't have a managed account, it's naturally difficult for her to gather a large following; she's more like a transient fanbase.

"So what kind of program should I perform? A solo? Or a group performance?"

"Our current plan is to have Amamiya perform two shows. One show will be entirely up to Amamiya, and the other... well, that's related to the second thing."

Shinjima took out an application form and handed it to Ren Amamiya: "This is an application for an orchestra. After much consideration, I decided to let you take a look, Ren Amamiya."

That's right, the second thing is related to the orchestra.

The orchestra has always been interested in Ren Amamiya and is extremely envious of such a talent, so they hope that Ren Amamiya can join the orchestra.
