Joker's Band Game Story

However, the probability of this is very low. We cannot reject Ren Amamiya's idea based on such a low probability event. After all, he knows that his daughter has rarely shown interest in musical instruments again, so it would be best for her to learn more.

She had been interested in the guitar when she was in junior high school, but well... she didn't learn it well, and after a school festival, she threw it away.

So this time he hopes his daughter can learn guitar well, or at least cultivate this interest. He knows his daughter doesn't really like the feeling of training classes, so if Ren Amamiya isn't reliable, he'll just choose to find a private tutor.

If Ren Amamiya is truly reliable, then there's no problem with having him teach my daughter.

There's no problem with him being reliable, which is why he said he felt half relieved.

As for the other half...

Regarding price.

Aine's father expressed his concern: "Two thousand yen is too cheap, that worries me..."

He was worried that Ai Yin would owe the other party a favor, and he was also worried that he would get what he paid for.

If Ren Amamiya's skill level is only worth two thousand yen, then he thinks we shouldn't pay that amount; the two of us can just play together.

But if it's good value for money, he felt he shouldn't just calculate it as two thousand; he should pay whatever the price is, he wasn't short of that little bit of money.

It can only be said that Aine's father cares about Aine a lot, which is why he has so many concerns.

Hearing this, Ren Amamiya fell into thought.

As for the price, how can he prove himself?

Normally, teachers should have a teacher's certificate, but he obviously doesn't. He's a minor, so how could he possibly take such a test?

So what other methods of proof are there?

Ren Amamiya suddenly remembered something—the music she had just recorded.

"If we're talking about proving my own abilities... perhaps this can prove something."

Ren Amamiya handed his phone to Aine's father, showing him his chat history with Mr. Tanaka.

Aine's father took the phone and glanced at the chat between Amamiya and Tanaka. The time and messages couldn't be faked, and the other party couldn't have made preparations and plans so far in advance for his daughter. So he just quickly looked at the chat content between the other party and Amamiya.

It's clear from the general information that Ren Amamiya frequently asks the other party to record songs, and at the bottom is today's chat history, which is an audio message sent by Tanaka.

"I just recorded a song today. Except for the lead guitar, I played all the other instruments myself. If you don't believe me, you can call Mr. Tanaka to confirm. Mr. Tanaka is a music producer, and he can prove his authority."

Mr. Tanaka, as a music producer, still has a certificate to prove himself, and he can testify to Amamiya's musical instrument level.

"Is that so? Then I don't need to ask anymore; I'll just listen."

In today's world where music is so accessible, Aine's father can understand some of the things Amamiya mentioned. Although he doesn't understand rock bands, he still has an appreciation for music.

So he closed his eyes and listened to the piece of music slowly.

燥。

That was his first reaction upon hearing the piece, but he only frowned slightly before continuing to listen to the rest of the music.

He doesn't like rock music, but he can't deny that rock music is the current trend.

Moreover, since his daughter had joined a rock band, she would naturally have to learn that instrument, so he listened to the song anyway.

“I think I understand your capabilities. If it’s as you say… I think we need to readjust the price.”

"No problem, then how about 60,000 a month for one of them?"

Listening to Ren Amamiya talk about the teaching situation, Aine's father felt that 60,000 yen a month was still cheap.

After all, the average study time is about 16 hours a week, which is equivalent to about 4,000 yen per hour. After deducting the middleman's profit, it is a normal price.

However, this price is usually for a class, not for one-on-one tutoring, which is more expensive. Amamiya charges according to this calculation method, which is indeed cheaper.

Aiyin's father had done his homework in advance and knew exactly how to calculate the price.

However, since Ren Amamiya had already calculated the price to this extent, he decided not to raise it any further.

"Then it's a pleasure doing business with you. I'll transfer the money directly to your bank account from now on, is that alright?"

"Of course not, it's a pleasure to work with you."

After this conversation, Ren Amamiya can prepare to go to RiNG to continue teaching Aine.

She will be taught four days a week, and the rest of the time she can practice at home. We can focus on her first few days to help her keep up with the learning progress and avoid her not being able to play a single song.

Since they've been practicing Kasuga Kage recently, let's try our best to get her to master Kasuga Kage as soon as possible.

Back in RiNG, he didn't order coffee or milk this time, but continued to sit there waiting for Ai-yin's message.

It seems like their practice is going a bit late today. Are they still not done at this hour?

He might as well take this opportunity to see how Lixi's score is. If it's not good, he'll have to find a way to tell her how to compose music correctly.

Inside the practice room, Lixi was breathing softly. She placed the drumsticks on the drum and looked at the others: "Let's stop practicing here for today."

As she spoke, she glanced at the others.

The lights were still the same as always, hesitant to make a sound, and his singing into the microphone was still very soft.

Shuangshi had no problems whatsoever; her bass playing remained as stable as ever.

The cat... I don't know where the cat went. She ran away halfway through the practice, probably because she was bored.

But you really can't blame her; who made the last person risk their life to drag the team down?

After glancing around, Li Xi finally fixed her gaze on the pink-haired guy who was dragging everyone down: "Someone, remember to go home and keep practicing. Although you've improved, it's still far too little!"

"I, I know."

On the surface, Ai Yin didn't say anything, but in her heart she was already swearing. She was determined to amaze this guy and let him know how amazing she was!

After practicing for almost the entire day, Lixi prepared to leave. She wasn't on duty today, so she had time to rehearse. The next rehearsal wouldn't be until a couple of days later.

I hope someone can exercise properly and not hold the team back.

Muttering to herself, Lixi left RiNG with Deng, unaware that Aine had disappeared.

Sōse, who usually walked to the train station with Aine, didn't notice that Aine had disappeared. She didn't care much about Aine, so after a slight moment of confusion, she didn't think much of it and left on her own.

Aine had just left the group under the pretext of going to the restroom. After noticing that everyone else had left, she sneakily approached Ren Amamiya.

"What are you doing, like a thief?"

Ren Amamiya looked at Aine's behavior helplessly. How could he not see what Aine was thinking?

It's just 'I'm going to work hard quietly and then amaze everyone,' is it really that big of a deal?

"Ahem, it's nothing, it's nothing. Amamiya-sensei, where shall we continue practicing next?"

"Let's go to the practice room, but before that I need to check if your fingers can still play the guitar."

Ren Amamiya gestured for Aine to show her fingers. Looking at her already red fingertips, he said directly, "You should go back and rest today. Continue practicing tomorrow."

"Hey~ Aren't we practicing today?"

"Practicing any more would be overdoing it. You're not used to playing the guitar yet. Let's wait until your hands get used to it before you start playing more. Oh, and this is for you."

As Ren Amamiya spoke, she took a bottle of medicine out of her bag and handed it to Aine: "Remember to apply it to your fingers when you get home, it's for hand care."

He bought the medicine on the way. He originally planned to keep some hangover medicine at home, but when he saw this medicine at the pharmacy, he simply bought it as well.

As for why he needed to buy hangover medicine... he didn't believe Tao Xiang didn't drink. She was broke now, but she would definitely buy alcohol when she had money.

A guy who goes to a coffee shop looking for alcohol is definitely an alcoholic.

After shooing Aine away, Ren Amamiya decided to go to RiNG today to check out the performance and see if there was anything related to him.

As a mercenary, he naturally didn't need a ticket to enter and exit RiNG. He was familiar with all the young ladies there, so after saying hello, he went to the backstage area of ​​RiNG.

Backstage, he saw his old acquaintance Hailing again. She was talking to the band members who had hired her, seemingly discussing some details about today's performance.

"Oh, what brings you here?"

After finishing her conversation with the other party, Hailin walked over to Ren Amamiya, whom she had noticed earlier, and greeted him with one hand on her hip.

"Just passing by since I'm bored. If there's any work, I might earn some extra cash. How many bands do you need help with today?"

"It's just one, we can go back as soon as we finish. Want to grab a late-night snack together?"

"can."

Ren Amamiya nodded and accepted Hailin's invitation to dinner. He had often gone out for late-night snacks with Hailin before.

Playing in a band is physically demanding. Even though they've had dinner, both backstage practice and the actual performance require a lot of energy. So, whenever the two of them meet here, they usually go out for a late-night snack together.

As for what to eat for a late-night snack... well, that depends on how you feel at the time.

So Ren Amamiya sent Momoka a text message, telling her to figure out how to have dinner herself.

She can eat out if she wants, or she can eat at home if she doesn't.

If she can't cook, there are frozen pan-fried dumplings. She can eat whatever she wants. Surely she can't possibly have problems steaming pan-fried dumplings?

Even though the performance was about to start and no news had been received, it seemed that everything was going smoothly and there was no need for him to come to the rescue.

This was normal, and Ren Amamiya wasn't disappointed. He simply watched the band's performance from the audience, and after Hailin's performance ended, he and Hailin went to prepare for dinner.

What are you planning to eat today?

"I didn't think about it."

Unlike Amamiya, who carried a violin bag, Hailin's violin bag was more like a suitcase, so she carried it with one hand rather than on her back.

Amamiya was sometimes curious about just how strong her arms were, being able to carry the violin case like that for so long. Amamiya thought that the weight must be heavier than the bag she was carrying.

"Then let's just wait and see?"

"Row."

Once outside the livehouse, it was as if their roles had reversed; Amamiya became more talkative, while Urin spoke less frequently.

On the way, the two also talked about the recent band situation. Since they were both mercenaries, they often encountered some peculiar bands.

Compared to Hailin, Amamiya is more free, so he encounters more oddballs, and he shares all the information related to these people with Hailin as amusement.

The two walked along the street. There was a food street in Ikebukuro. As they walked along the food street, they would look around and go into whichever restaurant they wanted to eat at.

Let's eat at Yoshinoya today.

Having noticed Yoshinoya, Hailin decided to have a meal there. Ren Amamiya, of course, didn't care where he ate; it didn't matter to him.

"welcome."
