Joker's Band Game Story

There are as many Hamlets as there are readers, and different people will have different feelings when reading these short lyrics.

But Li Xi felt... that the poem seemed to be about him, that it was describing him.

Indeed, in her eyes, these lyrics touched her more than "Spring Shadow." Lixi didn't actually feel much for "Spring Shadow" itself; her stronger feeling was that the stage lights could sing out "Spring Shadow." She simply saw the lights as herself under the sunlight, which is why she wanted to form a band with the lights. She wanted to keep looking at the lights, to keep looking at them forever.

So when she saw the lyrics to Haruhi Kage, she didn't feel anything. She didn't feel anything until Crychic's first live performance, and she continued to put pressure on everyone, including Akari.

But to Lixi, these words sounded so much like herself.

She never intended to hurt anyone. She was aware of her own temper and personality, which was as prickly as a hedgehog. But this was just her self-protection, a defense against her emotions, not an intention to hurt others. Sometimes she even felt guilty about her poor communication skills but didn't know how to apologize.

My inferiority complex overwhelmed all those who loved me. My intense sense of inadequacy made me feel pressured whenever I saw things. I cut off everything, killing all kindness and malice, wanting only to be alone, wanting no one to talk about me or my sister, and wanting to avoid being compared to geniuses.

How could I not feel sad and pained by the current situation? How I wish everyone could notice me, that I am "Lixi," not "Maki's sister"? But reality only intensifies my sense of inferiority. Inferiority and pressure keep hurting me. If I fail, everyone will only feel sad, thinking, "What a pity, even Maki's sister can't do it..." "You" killed "me"...

What am I working so hard for? Who am I striving for? My pride prevents me from admitting defeat. I want to catch up with my sister, with Xiangzi, and with other flawless geniuses like them. Everyone thinks I'm a genius too, just like my sister, so I have to put in even more effort and expend even more energy to catch up with them. Only then will they see me as 'Lixi,' and not just some 'genius sister/teammate/other.'

Only when I hide at night can I catch my breath, relax, and avoid being judged or killed by negative emotions.

So, was I a human or a ghost back then?

"A feeling of inferiority..."

Lixi was still staring at the piece of paper, looking at it absentmindedly.

"Was this written by Amamiya?"

"Yes, he wrote it. He wanted to hear your composition."

After learning that the passage was indeed written by Ren Amamiya, Riki took a few more deep breaths.

She never expected that Amamiya would write these words as lyrics.

Does he...understand me?

"Hailin, what kind of person is Amamiya?"

Even now, Riki still hasn't figured out what kind of person Amamiya Ren really is.

She knew that Amamiya was a genius. During practice, she could sense that Amamiya's mastery of the instrument was far beyond what a normal ten-year-old boy could achieve.

She also knew that Ren Amamiya always saved the day at various live performances, using his abilities to help others.

As for writing lyrics and composing music... she had heard that Amamiya was very skilled.

So, does that mean he's a genius too?

"You'll have to see for yourself."

Hai Ling did not answer Li Xi's question. She only turned to leave after seeing that Li Xi's mood had improved slightly.

"But at least one thing I can be sure of is that he can be just like you sometimes."

It is the same?

Li Xi couldn't help but find it a little funny. He took the medical paper with both hands, folded it gently, and put it into his pocket.

Composing music... can I really do it?

She closed her eyes again and rested briefly, but her mood was much better than before.

Good morning~ Ai Yin Er <> Ming Shen Wu Ming 9 ③ Liu & Jiu Jun.

"Good morning."

As soon as Chihaya Aine entered the classroom, she heard her classmates greeting her.

She responded with a smile, but her reaction puzzled her classmates.

"Is Aine... experiencing something unpleasant?"

"Hmm? No, that's a good thing."

Aine responded with a smile, but her reaction made everyone feel that it wasn't a good thing.

After all... if it were the usual Aine, she wouldn't be so quiet. She should have greeted everyone as soon as she entered the classroom, instead of just giving a faint smile and responding after everyone greeted her.

Aine's response was purely a result of what Ren Amamiya said to her before she left yesterday. She was very reluctant to admit it, but it was undeniable that what Ren Amamiya said was probably right.

The joy she felt at forming a band with Deng was immediately dampened, and she wasn't so happy anymore, just spacing out.

Once seated, Aine greeted Akari as usual: "Good morning, Akari."

At that moment, Tama was looking at the band-aid in her pencil case. After hearing Aine's greeting, she suddenly looked up, straightening her head like a startled little animal. The next second, she realized that it was Aine who was greeting her, and she relaxed again, lowering her head and replying softly, "Good morning... Aine."

Ai Yin didn't discuss anything about the band with Deng. In the past, she would have definitely chatted with Deng to show off and let the whole class know that she and Deng had formed a band.

But the future of this band makes her a little hesitant to boast about it, after all, she has already experienced something similar once.

She boasted to those around her about being able to study in London, which earned her a lot of envious glances from her classmates. However, she didn't stay in London for long and ran back with her tail between her legs. Now she doesn't even dare to see her old friends.

The London incident has taught her a lesson, and now the band might also fail, which makes her less inclined to boast about the Light Group band.

Let alone having formed a band, she doesn't even dare to boast about the fact that she and Deng are playing in a band.

After all, yesterday she was the only one who didn't respond to the promise of "forming a band for life".

So how would the lamp view this?

Aiyin quietly looked up at the lamp and saw it sitting in its seat, head down, wiping pebbles.

Sure enough, the lamp is so cute...

Ai Yin couldn't help but think about it, and couldn't resist secretly reaching out to tug at the collar of the lamp.

“Aine?”

"Light... will you abandon me?"

Aine was still quite embarrassed when she asked the question; she wanted to know her place in the heart of the lamp.

But Aine seemed to have overlooked Akari's personality, asking her this question so bluntly that Akari turned around, grabbed Aine's hand, and shouted, "How could I! How could I abandon Aine!"

The sudden loud noise drew everyone's attention to Aine and Akari, especially after hearing Akari's response. They immediately began to speculate about what had happened between Akari and Aine.

"Ah! Lamp, that's not what I meant, don't get so agitated!"

Having shot herself in the foot, Aine is now paying the price for disturbing the light, and she has to figure out a way to soothe the frightened little penguin.

Meanwhile, in the gardening club in the Moon Forest, Sōse watched with a happy expression as Mutsu watered the cucumbers.

Mu looked very serious; she was really enjoying watering the cucumbers.

"Mu, I've formed a new band!"

Shuangshi suddenly said this to Mu, and Mu immediately turned to look at her: "Congratulations."

She didn't expect that Shuangshi would actually form a new band. Does that mean she has already moved on from the shadow of Crychic?

Mu also sincerely congratulated Shuangshi on his friendship with this friend.

"Yes, He Deng and He Lixi have reunited as a band."

Mu withdrew a congratulatory message.

She lowered her head again and continued watering the cucumbers.

In the end, nothing changed? Has she still not given up on Crychic?

Disappointed, Mu stopped listening to Sōse and continued to give him perfunctory replies while silently watering the cucumbers.

Soon the cucumbers were almost watered, and she lifted the watering can, ready to leave, but Shuangshi's next words made her freeze.

"I've also found Xiangzi's whereabouts. She was in Yuqiu."

Mu didn't reply; he just remained in a daze.

"I'll invite you too, please wait a little longer."

Shuangshi's words are quite intriguing. Why would the person who invited him say "wait a moment" instead of inviting him immediately?

Mu couldn't help but wonder, was it because they wanted to call Xiangzi back first? Or was there some problem in the band that needed to be resolved before inviting him back? Or perhaps...

Is she unhappy because she hasn't let her go to see Xiangzi?

Mu didn't speak; she was just staring blankly. Shuangshi didn't respond either; instead, he looked at the sky with a good mood.

Just then, other students came over: "Gui'an. Shuangshi, you've come to play with Xiaomu again?"

"Ah, it's Senior Chun, nice to meet you."

Hearing someone approaching from behind, Shuangshi immediately turned around and greeted the person.

Haru Okumura is a third-year student at Tsukimori High School and also the head of the Horticulture Club.

Despite being called the minister, the horticulture department actually had very few students. Most of the students preferred to admire flowers and plants, and only Mu and Chun were interested in cucumbers as an ingredient.

Next to the cucumber trellis, there were other vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, and some that had just sprouted and whose species were yet to be identified.

"Hasn't the orchestra started its activities yet at this hour? Don't get too carried away chatting with Xiao Mu and end up being late."

Haru Okumura chatted with Sase Nagasaki with a smile, but her words implied that she was seeing him off.

Shuangshi didn't say much to this senior. She just smiled and nodded, "That's right. Club activities are about to start. So, Xiaomu and Chun-senpai, I'll take my leave now."

After Sōse got up, Okumura Haru continued looking at Mutsumi: "Did Sōse bother you again?"

"It was my fault."

But Mutsumi suddenly said something completely unrelated to the question, and her answer made Okumura Haru shake her head with a helpless smile. She was also quite helpless about Mutsumi's taciturn nature.

She is not only very sparing with words, but also speaks in a highly disjointed manner. Her answers are more like a dialogue that has been skipped, so they are always quite strange.

It took Okumura Haru a while to understand that Mutsu meant, "Souze is bothering me because I made a mistake in the past, so you don't need to worry so much, Senpai."

"Sometimes you're just like a little block of wood."

That's all Haru could say about Wakaba Mutsumi.

(PS: I looked for lyrics for many songs that could be used for Li Xi, and found that they were all quite suitable for the Deng Xi CP or for letting go of other feelings, but not quite suitable for this context, so in the end I had to choose "Oni" by Cao Dong. Anyway, it's just lyrics, not the whole song, so I'll just consider it a translation into Japanese for her to read.)

(PS2: Although there were some details in the third episode, I didn't expect that Teacher Da Miao was actually a first-year high school student. The official live stream of Da Miao yesterday confirmed that she was a first-year high school student. Why do they eat so well here? The first-year high school student is both mature Da Miao and a pretty widow (?). Then look at the little girl next door...)
