Joker's Band Game Story

After the two were seated, a waiter came out to ask them what they would like to eat.

Yoshinoya requires payment before dining, so the two chose their desired set meals and sat down to wait for the food to be served.

"Lixi has formed a new band."

Hailin, who was sitting in her seat, suddenly brought up the matter. She turned to look at Ren Amamiya: "I heard that band seems to have something to do with you?"

"Ah, that's true, a bit."

Chapter Forty-Five: The girl's blush was more powerful than any profanity.

Ren Amamiya was surprised that Hailing would talk about the Riki Band.

But to say how unexpected it was... it wasn't that unexpected.

After all, Amamiya had already noticed that Hailin cared about Riki. Every time Hailin came to RiNG, she would go to the coffee shop to see if Riki was there. If he was there, she would order a drink; if he wasn't, she would leave quietly. Not to mention, Amamiya also knew that the two of them were in the same school. So, they were in the same school and the same class, which was normal, right?

However, it's also possible that the two knew each other before, so they would always hang out together even though they were in different classes.

"How is that band doing now?"

Hailin seemed to be implying something, and Ren Amamiya simply shook his head at her question: "There is a problem, but it's not serious."

"Is it 'Shanqiu Jiu Mingqi Jiu (5) Bazhuan'?"

Hailing was surprised that Ren Amamiya would say that the band had a problem; when she asked him the question, she even sounded a little excited.

They seem eager to know when they'll disband. 1陵①?霓咝巫玖. 卄??似酒芭

"It's the same old conflict with that band. They'll be fine once they resolve their inner turmoil."

Amamiya didn't go into details about the band; it was their private matter, and as an outsider, Amamiya had no right to say so much.

So Hailin was truly disappointed, hoping to learn the specifics from Amamiya.

"I see. Then it seems everything should go smoothly for her as well."

Hai Ling lowered her head again. Just then, their meal arrived, and they could eat with their heads down.

Ren Amamiya turned his head to look at Hailin, whose face was lightly made up. As a mercenary, she had always been dutiful, putting all her effort into both her attire and makeup.

But this very person has no fixed band and has always been a wanderer.

"What's wrong with me today? Why am I suddenly so emo?"

After putting her hands together and saying "I'm starting to eat," Ren Amamiya picked at her rice with chopsticks while asking Hailin what was wrong.

He could tell that Hailing wasn't in a good mood.

"That band invited me today."

Hailing didn't start the car immediately; instead, she was wiping her lips with lipstick.

After wiping off most of the lipstick from her lips, she finally started eating.

She eats slowly and her mouth isn't big; she chews slowly and gracefully, which is quite charming.

This forms a natural contrast to a certain woman who, like a pig charging forward, keeps showing off her food and is currently staying at home.

"Really? You didn't agree either?"

"Ah."

Hai Ling nodded slightly. She did not accept the invitation, after all, she hadn't gotten over that hurdle in her heart yet.

Ren Amamiya wasn't particularly clear about Hailin's past, but he wasn't one to pry into people's pasts. Everyone has some unpleasant past, and it wasn't appropriate to ask directly.

So he just calmly watched Hailing eat with her head down, her face somewhat dejected.

"What about you?"

Seeing that Ren Amamiya had nothing more to say, Hailin asked in return, "When are you planning to form a band?"

"Wait until you've figured it out."

Ren Amamiya himself was unsure of his own thoughts; he didn't know whether he wanted to form a band again.

After all, he still can't forget the band from his previous life.

Although he understood that the past life was the past life and he shouldn't dwell on it in this life, he couldn't help but think about it.

Whenever the band is mentioned, he can't help but think of the band he can't let go of.

I guess I'll only consider starting a new relationship once I've let go of that.

Ren Amamiya's answer was not unexpected by Hailin, since Amamiya always gave the same answer whenever she asked him that question.

He also had his own worries, and when it came to the band, he had just as many worries as I did.

This was what Hai Ling knew, so she didn't ask any more questions and just lowered her head to continue eating.

"actually……"

"Ok?"

Ren Amamiya heard that Hailing had only spoken halfway through her sentence, so he hummed in response.

"Actually, I want to form a band with you."

Hai Ling didn't hesitate; she only paused for a moment before saying those words.

She seemed to know what Amamiya was thinking, and if she didn't bring it up herself, Amamiya would definitely not bring it up.

But after she said those words, she didn't get a response from Ren Amamiya. She secretly glanced at Ren Amamiya and found that he was in a daze, his eyes seemingly filled with memories.

He neither agreed nor refused, but simply said, "Really? Join my team then..."

Hailin continued eating; there was still a lot of rice left in her bowl, unlike Amamiya Ren, who had almost finished eating.

As she ate, she glanced sideways at Ren Amamiya, waiting for his answer to her question.

She felt a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. She didn't know how Ren Amamiya would answer. She longed for a positive response from him, but she was also afraid of being rejected.

After staring blankly for a while, Amamiya finally came to his senses. He looked at the rice in his bowl and poked at it absentmindedly with his chopsticks.

What kind of band do you want to form?

Instead of giving a direct answer, he asked a question.

What kind of band? A generation, of course...

Just as Hai Ling was about to instinctively say "forever," her expression darkened.

Is it possible for a lifetime? She was pessimistic.

As a mercenary, she knew best what such words meant. How many people made solemn promises, but in the end, how many of them could keep them?

Promises are ultimately just empty words; those who believe them are probably still naive children.

Of course, there are bands that can truly stick together for a lifetime, but those are ultimately rare cases, and Hailing doesn't really believe that.

Moreover, she herself wasn't confident that she could keep going. She actually wanted to find a place to settle down, but... it was too difficult.

So what kind of band should we form?

Amamiya, are you referring to an entertainment band or a commercial band? Why are you even thinking about this?

Hai Ling thought for a moment and replied directly, "Let's just form a band for fun first, a band that we can disband whenever we don't want to play anymore."

"That's easy for you to say."

Hailin's words made Ren Amamiya chuckle; he hadn't expected Hailin to say something like that.

But forming a band that you can disband when you get tired of playing... isn't necessarily a bad thing.

"Just the two of us? Should I play guitar or drums?"

"Playing the drums."

On this point, Hailin was quite firm, giving Amamiya Ren no choice whatsoever.

Compared to the choice of instruments, as for the number of people...

"It's not that it has to be two people; other people are fine too, but the whole team has to agree to let them in."

That was somewhat like Hailin's personality, and Amamiya Ren didn't refute it. He just thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

"it is good."

Forming a band is not easy, and we can't just agree to it casually.

Both of them are involved in bands, so they naturally understand that playing together and actually being in a band are two different things. Even if this band is one that can disband when they don't want to play anymore, there are still things that bands should consider.

It's normal for Amamiya to be cautious; or rather, that's what Hailin hopes to see—that he can give it a good consideration.

If Amamiya had agreed without even thinking about it, she would have wondered if Amamiya really intended to handle the matter properly.

After eating and drinking their fill, the two parted ways at the tram station. Sitting on the tram, Ren Amamiya was thinking about forming a band with Hailin.

He has the time to form a band, but his mind is...

One can't just dwell on the past... right?

Ren Amamiya was thinking about the band, or rather... could he give it a try?

"Huh? Le'er 9 Ling Wu San Ba ​​Qi Yi San Ling Meng Team? Why not give it a try?"

Momoka was half-reclining on the sofa, acting as if she owned the place: "Putting everything else aside, it's obvious that your band is just something you've put together on a whim. You didn't say how long you'd be keeping it. Maybe you're just planning to play around for a while? Go ahead and form it."

"Hmm...isn't that a bit too casual?"

"You don't actually think your band isn't casual enough, do you? Or that a bassist and a drummer together looks like you're just playing around, right? Are you sure you don't want to add anyone else?"

Tao Xiang could tell from the team composition that this was just a casual team, so what was there to worry about? Just play however you want.

Her words made Amamiya think again. If it's just for fun... it might not be so bad?

"Then let me try."

After replying to Hailin with a "yes" on her phone, Amamiya Ren prepared to take a shower and rest.

"I'm going to take a shower. If you need to use the toilet, go now."
