Joker's Band Game Story

"Hmm, where's Lena?"

As Ren Amamiya spoke, he glanced around and noticed that Rakuna wasn't at RiNG today.

This is rather rare. Normally, Lenai comes here almost every day, and it's normal for her to come five or six times a week.

However, since the other party might have just finished school or was taking a walk and wasn't in a hurry to come over, Ren Amamiya was just asking casually and didn't intend to get an answer from Rinrinko.

But Rinrinko actually told him something that surprised him: "Eh? You didn't know? Rina went to Fanxing."

Stars? What is she going there for?

Le Nai usually goes to Fanxing because she's there, but Fanxing is closed today. It's Monday, so why is she going there now?

"It seems you really don't know. Yesterday, Hongxia came over with a very serious face and asked Lena to go to Fanxing. She said something like, 'Please! Please form a band with me! Even just for one day!'"

As she spoke, Rinrinko couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, "She even ordered a matcha parfait for Ryuna to feed her."

It wasn't too surprising that Hongxia came to RiNG. Although her family also runs a livehouse, Fanxing and RiNG didn't have much of a conflict of interest.

One reason is the geographical environment; the two sides are quite far apart. Another reason is that their target audiences are different.

The bands performing at RiNG are mainly high school girls, while Fanxing is more adult-oriented. Therefore, the audiences at the two venues don't overlap much; many people might prefer Fanxing to RiNG.

Ren Amamiya nodded. He had a rough idea of ​​why Nijika wanted Rakuna to come over—it was for her first appearance tomorrow.

But choosing Lena as the guitarist isn't necessarily a bad idea... wait a minute?

"Wait, Ms. Rinrinko, could you please repeat what Nijika said earlier?"

"'Please! Join my band! Even just for a day!'"

Rinrinko repeated what she had just said, unsure of what was wrong with her statement.

Are you sure you meant 'even one day'?

After receiving a positive reply from Rinrinko, Ren Amamiya couldn't help but smile.

He had clearly noticed something interesting.

As a professional zookeeper for Lena, he has a very deep understanding of her.

Lena has a very interesting characteristic—she is obedient, extremely obedient.

How obedient is she? She'll do whatever you say, but only if you make it clear.

Without a doubt, Hongxia made a mistake she herself was unaware of: she actually said, "Even one day is fine."

According to Hongxia's thinking, the "one day" she mentioned referred to tomorrow's performance. However, she didn't clarify, only saying "one day."

So for Lena, her instruction was to play in the band for a day. She went to rehearsal today, so she's already played for a day; the instruction is complete, and she doesn't know where she'll be tomorrow.

Given her characteristic of not reading anyone's news except her own, Ren Amamiya already imagined that Nijika would be scratching her head in frustration tomorrow because she couldn't find Ryuna.

So this teaches us a lesson—when talking to Lena, you must be clear and not vague.

(Just like in episode 11, when Rakuna was about to cut out a pattern, she heard Aine say, "What you're cutting isn't paper, it's cloth!" and then she turned around and cut Sase's clothes in half. She was indeed cutting cloth, not paper. When a cat is obedient, it's good; when Aine doesn't explain clearly, it's bad.)

Ren Amamiya, who was chatting with Rinrinko, suddenly noticed that Aine was sitting next to him. He turned his head and saw Aine grinning at him.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you sitting with your friends?"

When Aine noticed that Ren Amamiya was looking at her, she chuckled sheepishly and said, "I think they need to sit down and have a good talk."

Although she recognized that these people were all former members of Crychic, it was clear that they were not being completely honest with each other, and she still hoped that everyone could open up to each other—especially Lamp.

Communication is always the best way to exchange your inner thoughts, but Ai Yin overlooked one point, which is that it needs someone to guide you.

If they are allowed to communicate freely, their brainwaves will not align, which will only make things more chaotic.

For example, when Deng is blaming himself for the disbandment of Crychic, Lixi directly says that it's not Deng's responsibility, but Xiangzi's.

But Shuangshi suddenly said that this had nothing to do with Xiangzi and that it was no one's fault.

As the conversation went on, it eventually turned to our previous practice with Crychic.

"Actually, Lixi has been waiting for you to come back so we can practice together."

"Lixi...aren't you angry?"

The lamp asked Lixi somewhat embarrassedly, and Lixi immediately replied without hesitation, "How could I possibly be angry!"

Realizing she might have been a bit too abrupt, she immediately softened her tone: "I'm more worried about you not coming to practice."

"It was indeed my fault."

The light shut itself off again, its head bowed, trapped in its own flawed logical loop. This left Li Xi speechless.

Interesting~

Ren Amamiya propped his head up with one hand, watching the girls' conversation with great interest.

He enjoys watching this. The emotional clashes that occur when forming a band are very common, but each clash brings different results, and he loves watching that feeling.

Mmm~ that's the taste, you guys are being a bit too harsh.

Ren Amamiya looked at them curiously, seemingly eager to hear something more interesting from them.

"No, that's not true~ Lixi really likes lamps."

"what?"

Upon hearing Shuangshi's words, Lixi instinctively let out a "ha!"

But after she finished laughing, she glanced at the light again, made eye contact with Xiao Bideng, and then became embarrassed.

So, do you like it or not?

At this moment, Ren Amamiya, who was gently stirring the coffee milk with a small spoon, asked in a calm voice. This nonchalant tone made Riki laugh again.

She glared fiercely at Ren Amamiya this time, seemingly displeased with his loose tongue.

"Huh? So you don't like it then~"

"No, it's not..."

Seeing Riki's rather dishonest demeanor, Ren Amamiya couldn't help but smile. He loved seeing Riki acting coy and hesitant.

Aine, standing nearby, already had a maternal smile on her face. She watched as Ren Amamiya's few words made Ritsuki completely unable to sit still.

What could be more interesting than having someone you don't like being subjected to military training?

"So what do you think? Do you like lamps?"

Ren Amamiya continued to ask questions. He glanced at Akari, who was looking at him, and after their eyes met for a moment, Akari immediately looked away.

She was still afraid.

But then she blinked her big, wet eyes at Lixi, as if trying to get the answer she wanted from her.

"I……"

But this made the unreliable Lixi feel like she was being roasted on a grill; she clenched her hands tightly, wanting to speak but unable to utter a word.

Her reaction dimmed the lamp's eyes again: "It really was my fault..."

"No, it's not the lamp's fault."

Lixi looked up at the lamp again. Seeing its ashamed expression, the words slipped out without her even thinking: "I like it..."

"Eh~ You admitted it~"

At this moment, Ai Yin couldn't help but chuckle to herself, and as expected, she was glared at by Li Xi.

Her dark expression was completely different from before; it seemed that this was the only way she could stop being so coy.

"Do you like it...?"

Upon hearing Lixi's reply, the corners of Deng's mouth turned up slightly.

But she kept her head down: "But... if it wasn't my fault, why did Amamiya leave that day?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned to look at Ren Amamiya, including Rinrinko.

Rinrinko was now truly sitting in the spotlight, watching the whole thing with curiosity.

How did this get involved with Ah Lian? Interesting!

After hearing what Akari said, Ren Amamiya thought for a moment and roughly understood Akari's thought process.

Is this child a little insecure? If that's the case...

"You think you're wrong?"

Ren Amamiya crossed his arms and looked at Akari, who nodded slightly in response.

"Since that's the case... then apologize."

"what?!"

Upon hearing Ren Amamiya's words, Riki immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up. She hadn't expected Ren Amamiya to be so shameless as to say that it was the lamp's fault.

Aine also looked at Ren Amamiya with surprise. When she asked Ren Amamiya before, didn't Ren Amamiya say that it was not the light's control?

"sorry."

"I forgive you."

"Eh?"

Akari was surprised that Ren Amamiya could say those words so easily, and she looked up at Ren Amamiya.

This was the second time she looked at Ren Amamiya, and this time when their eyes met, she didn't lower her head in embarrassment.

She saw warmth in Ren Amamiya's eyes, like a warm sun, making people happy.

"Yes, if you feel you're wrong, then apologize and get the other person's forgiveness. What's the point of constantly feeling you're wrong? Constantly blaming yourself won't change anything. On the contrary, as long as you can say it and get forgiveness, this matter will be over, and there's no need to dwell on it anymore."

Ren Amamiya just couldn't understand whether these people knew how to comfort someone. Akari was almost dying of self-blame, and she kept saying it wasn't her fault, yet she could just pretend not to see it? She wasn't that kind of girl.

Now that we're all here, why not just say everything out loud?

(PS: Mu Tou Ren exploded, but it was within my expectations. Mother Chicken is all about masks, so basically everyone has to follow that. However, compared to Xiangzi killing the weak Xiao Xiang, Mu's killing of his past self is more exciting. I can probably guess what will trigger the explosion of the others.)

(PS2: But what couldn't be contained was that in this third episode, the public opinion about Meow Dream went from mostly negative to mixed. Meow Dream wasn't the kind of character who was all talk and no action; she was surreal, just after popularity and money. And since she had the least amount of information, it's perfectly normal for her to make such a move. I'm really curious what she'll do after she gets more information. Without information, she definitely can't understand what Xiangzi is trying to do. You yourself said it's a commercial band, you yourself created a band + performance, so why are you unhappy now that Mu has performed? I'm looking forward to seeing how Meow Dream will act after she gets more information.)

(PS3: I really want to see episodes four, five, and six! I really want to see rivers of blood (giraffe pops up)! I really want to see Hailing explode! Although I know you'll explode around the same time as Chu Hua or one after the other, how can I write about you if you don't explode?)
