Joker's Band Game Story

It's not his fault; Tao Xiang was dressed so... simply.

Although Ren Amamiya told her to change into her own clothes for the time being, why isn't she even wearing underwear?

When she was sitting on the sofa with her legs drawn up, it was obvious to the naked eye that her shorts were completely empty, almost see-through. When she was talking in the room, I could also vaguely notice her chest. Does this woman really have no awareness of her own charm?

If it weren't for my amazing self-control, I would have pinned her to the ground and started ravishing her long ago.

"That's really terrifying..."

After patting his head, Ren Amamiya stopped fidgeting and started preparing lunch.

One of the advantages of having another person in the family is that you don't have to worry about accidentally cooking too much.

Although Ren Amamiya is currently in his prime and has a large appetite, he still tends to cook too much food.

For example, when making a curry, one potato, one onion, one carrot, and four ounces of meat, along with rice, is enough for three people. He always leaves a little bit, which makes his stomach feel very full after eating everything.

"Not bad, I feel like my skills have been getting better and better lately."

Taking a sip of the rich soup with a spoon, Ren Amamiya nodded in satisfaction, feeling extremely pleased with his skillful cooking.

I didn't learn much about cooking in my past life, but I've really learned a lot in this one.

As for why he planned to make curry... nothing more, he just likes to eat it, that's all.

"Taoxiang, it's time to eat."

"Oh, here we come."

Momoka opened the door and answered casually, but the next second she was pushed back into the room by Ren Amamiya.

"Get dressed properly before you come out!"

(PS: Before going to sleep, I suddenly thought of a possibility, or maybe it's just a fake medicine for the future. I don't know if anyone has mentioned it before, but it just suddenly came to mind. It's about Teacher Da Miao. In the code name of the other characters, death, fear, and oblivion are mentioned, but Teacher Da Miao is associated with positive words like 'love'. I was wondering if it means Teacher Da Miao is bound by love? Born into a happy but not wealthy family, she struggles alone, doing all sorts of bad things for money, seemingly to respond to this obsessive love, she might do something even more outrageous in the future? Or even collapse due to a drop in popularity? Only when she discovers that there are other values ​​in life besides love for her family can Teacher Da Miao truly become a rich cat?)

Chapter 42 Cyberpunk Dead Boy

Momoka finally witnessed Ren Amamiya's shy side, although the feeling of shyness was not quite what she had expected.

After all, she was embarrassed about this, and it was only then that she realized what kind of posture she was in in front of Amamiya.

As her fragile inner self was fully exposed, she also revealed her weaknesses. She was indeed extremely embarrassed in front of Amamiya.

"It's completely over..."

Tao Xiang crouched on the ground, her hands covering her head. She was completely at a loss.

She was completely unguarded around Amamiya, so if Ren Amamiya hadn't suddenly started talking, she wouldn't have even realized how she was interacting with him.

"This time, we've really lost face..."

Tao Xiang, who was banging her head on the ground, was now filled with shyness. In the end, she shook her head and chose not to think about it anymore. Instead, she quickly put on her underwear and went downstairs to eat.

Contrary to her expectations, Ren Amamiya was not shy at all. Instead, she sat calmly in her seat looking at her phone, seemingly deep in thought.

He noticed Tao Xiang approaching, then put his phone down, casually placing it screen-up on the table before speaking, "I'm starting to eat."

"I'm starting," said the chess player.

After saying a few words, Taoxiang picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Upon smelling the rich aroma of curry, Tao Xiang's nose twitched involuntarily.

It smells so good, it looks delicious.

"How is it? Does it taste alright?"

"That's pretty good!"

As she tasted the curry, Tao Xiang couldn't help but praise it, saying that this was the kind of curry she hadn't had in a long time.

Unlike the curry flavor in restaurants, this curry tastes more like home cooking.

The moment she tasted that flavor, Tao Xiang's nose couldn't help but sting.

Home...

But Momoka still didn't cry in front of Amamiya. On one hand, she didn't have much attachment to her hometown and could go back anytime she wanted. On the other hand, she didn't want to expose her more vulnerable side to Amamiya.

She has already revealed enough.

"Are you free this afternoon?"

Ren Amamiya, with his head down, seemed unaware of Momoka's reaction and simply asked casually.

"This afternoon? Nothing's up."

There's really nothing wrong with it; I just need to find a job and then a place to live.

She is currently staying at Amamiya's house temporarily, but she can't stay there permanently; she still needs to find a new home.

"It's okay, it's okay, come with me to record a song."

Amamiya casually remarked, and his words made Momoka raise her head in surprise. She hadn't expected Amamiya Ren to ask her for this favor.

She's an expert at recording songs, or rather, she's extremely skilled at it. After all, Diamond Dust has indeed prepared quite a few songs, but unfortunately, only "Empty Box" has become a hit so far; the others haven't.

"What about the lyrics?"

I'll send it to you after I finish eating.

This song was written by Amamiya last night after he picked Momoka up from school; without a doubt, it was written for her.

It's only natural that she needs to sing it.

After finishing the meal, Amamiya put the bowl on the table and said, "You wash the dishes, I'll go get the lyrics."

One person cooks, and the other washes the dishes; that's fair.

Especially since Momoka already owed Amamiya a lot, she didn't complain at all about washing the dishes.

Meanwhile, Ren Amamiya went upstairs to print out all the musical scores.

Because he's always playing music, he even has a printer in his room so he can print out lyrics for various songs.

After all, it would be too troublesome to hand-draw the entire score. He usually makes simplified musical notation at school and then makes the full score at home.

"Cyber ​​Dead Boy?"

Looking at the song's title, she couldn't help but feel strange. Why would a song have such an odd name?

But she quickly lost track of the song's title and focused on the lyrics.

Although it is the complete score, Amamiya printed out several copies, so she is currently looking at the lyrics section, and she cannot see the scores for the other instruments.

This is a duet song. Although it would be fine for one person to sing it alone, Amamiya just wanted to sing it as a duet.

'Anyway, nobody listens to what you write. Music is all about following trends.'

'Whatever you're trying to convey is just wishful thinking anyway. Just make a video and get some views first~ All this pretentious self-proclaimed high-class act is disgusting. Goodnight.'

The first two lines had already drawn Momoka's attention to the lyrics; she felt as if the song was about her.

'No matter what we do or how we look at it, our great masters have reached a standstill.'

Even so, monkeys there, here, over there, lonely, swastika-like, and Generation Z are all materialistic.

This song criticizes the world today and speaks to people's inner thoughts. Just by looking at these lyrics, she already imagined how big the impact would be if the song really became popular.

No, I should say... even if it becomes popular, nobody cares. Just like the lyrics say, nobody cares what it's about. The song doesn't name names, so all the listeners will feel that the song is cursing someone, and they can use the song to criticize others.

'I don't care about the meaning behind witty remarks or anything like that, I don't care about lyrics either, just please give me something catchy.'

"Come on, everyone, let's all have a laugh! Artistic merit is less important than sheer numbers? Paying huge sums to VIRUS, what am I supposed to do? Is this all there is to it? My brain is spinning, I'm about to die from this part-time job."

Unlike the verses, the chorus brought tears to Momoka's eyes. The chorus was more intense and emotionally charged than the verses.

"Bye-bye to those overused, trendy internet melodies—go ahead and question them; they're mostly lies."

'Stop pretending. Fantasies and ideals are no different. Have you lost those things you once wanted to sing about?'

'It doesn't matter if it's clumsy or terrible; this isn't about playing along. Don't give up before you're filled with money and templates. Wake up, heartbeat!'

'You don't want any of those things you wanted to convey anymore? That's utterly unreasonable!'

Have you lost all those things you once wanted to sing about? Do you no longer want all those things you once wanted to convey?

"You really know how to scold someone, Lian..."

Tao Xiang could no longer hold back her tears; she had indeed felt despair about her choice.

She knew in her heart that choosing to move forward alone and part ways with others meant that her choice had a higher probability of failure.

She has indeed somewhat forgotten her original intention in making music.

She wanted to prove herself, but she was also afraid of failure. But... did she really choose to sing just to succeed?

Others give up their individuality for fame, but what about her? She continues to maintain her individuality. Is it because she genuinely wants to sing what she wants to sing, or is she simply trying to prove herself right?

"This is really... terrible."

Tears streamed down her face involuntarily, and Amamiya thoughtfully handed her a tissue. She wiped away her tears with the tissue, then blew her nose before throwing the tissue into the trash can.

Then she took another tissue and continued wiping away her tears.

"Just tell me if you'd like to sing or not."

"Sing, I want to sing."

This is a song she only wanted to sing long after the Empty Box.

Ignoring popularity and other factors, I simply poured my heart and soul into singing the songs I wanted to sing.

She sat in the chair and cried for a long time before gradually stopping.

"Then let's get ready to set off and tell them that we were right."

Seeing that Momoka had almost recovered, Ren Amamiya gestured for her to go back to her room and change her clothes.

"By the way, did you wash your clothes from before?"

"Oh! I forgot! You're not allowed to look in the bathroom!"

Remembering that her clothes were still in the bathroom, Momoka blushed and gathered them into a ball before throwing them into the washing machine at Ren Amamiya's instruction.
