Joker's Band Game Story

Ren Amamiya... If you continue to appear here... how am I supposed to continue with my plans?

That's a really scary guy...

Sōse noticed that Amamiya Ren had calmed down a few people and was coming this way. She immediately changed her expression and showed her usual smile as she watched him stand in front of the bar talking to Rinrinko about the show.

"I'll bring a band with me for the performance."

"Okay, so what should we call that band then?"

"End the band."

"End the band? Okay, I've noted that down."

That's right, Ren Amamiya came here to register for his upcoming performance on stage with the End Band.

As for why the band ended... well, that goes back two days...

"Alright~ Now that our band members are all set up, it's time to think about our second live performance!"

Hongxia said excitedly that during this time, everyone had started working in the Starry Sky, and they had also started preparing to write lyrics and songs. Soon, their first original song would be fresh off the press.

Naturally, it's time to consider live performances.

"And we can start thinking about making an album for the second live, as well as shooting music videos, preparing merchandise... Ah, there's so much to do~ But once all that's prepared, we can sell it at the second live, so, unnie, can you arrange a live for us next month~?"

Hongxia asked Xingge with a happy expression, but Xingge only let out an "Ah? I'm not going to arrange that for you guys."

This one sentence completely stunned Hongxia.

She stared blankly at Xingge, the smile vanishing from her face.

The other three people behind the two looked on with tension (only Boqi) as they watched the atmosphere.

The atmosphere was very lively.

Meanwhile, Ren Amamiya, who was playing Candy Chess with Saeko nearby, remained as steady as a mountain as he made his next move, capturing Saeko's piece, picking it up, and stuffing it into his mouth, completely unperturbed.

That's right. In this game of chess, once one side's piece is captured, the piece in that position can be captured directly. This is a game that the two often play. Otherwise, how would Ren Amamiya know that Saeko's tongue can split?

He had seen Saeko use her nimble tongue to manipulate the chess piece and eventually capture it. He was so excited watching that he wished he could take her place.

Men are truly passionate about sex no matter their age. Even a man in his sixties or seventies who might not be able to get up can still enjoy looking at beautiful women.

In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere here, Hongxia's side was quite heavy: "Eh? Why? Don't worry about the customer acquisition target, we'll make up for whatever we're short."

"It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of capability."

Xingge's words silenced Hongxia once again, and Hongxia's smile vanished completely: "But, but didn't you let us perform before?"

"That was just an exception arranged so that you could have some wonderful memories."

Xingge started lecturing Hongxia, explaining the details of the performance in detail.

Hongxia lowered her head, and the atmosphere around her gradually became heavier.

This gravity also caused Saeko and Amamiya, who were playing chess, to turn their heads and look in this direction. They stopped playing chess and watched to see what was happening to them.

However, Ren Amamiya was facing away from Nijika, so he turned around to see what was going on. While Ren Amamiya wasn't paying attention, Saeko secretly picked up one of his Go pieces and put it in her mouth to eat quietly.

"So I'm sorry, if the performance quality is the same as last time, then don't even think about performing."

Very good. As soon as he said that, Ren Amamiya knew that Nijika was about to explode.

But actually, Xingge's own explanation is problematic. She went on and on without explaining the situation clearly. As long as the band's level is better than before, they can perform on stage again. She doesn't care much about audience quotas, since Fanxing is for Hongxia, and Hongxia can do whatever she wants.

But if she continues to form a band with the same attitude as last time, she will never grow into a successful person.

"You guys can just play house together for the rest of your lives."

Wow, that's really hurtful!

Seeing that Nijika had lowered her head and looked like she was about to throw a tantrum at her older sister, Ren Amamiya immediately said, "In that case... how about performing on stage at RiNG?"

"RiNG?"

Upon hearing this word, Hoshika couldn't help but turn around and look at Amamiya Ren.

She couldn't figure out what Ren Amamiya was up to at this moment.

She was completely oblivious to the implications of her words. As a proud and arrogant person, it was impossible to get her to speak properly. She was just trying to encourage Hongxia to practice more with the band and arrange her position after she got familiar with the music. But she was clearly not good at speaking and ended up making Hongxia angry instead.

If Hongxia calmed down, she would have understood what Xingge meant, but she had just told her friends that organizing the second live performance would be incredibly easy, and then she got a snub from her sister. Of course, she was unhappy.

"Yes, it just so happens that Afterlow and Poppin's concerts recently need me to help out on stage, but it would be too monotonous for me to go up alone. We happen to be short of a band, so if you guys think you're okay with it, you can come with me."

Ren Amamiya's words immediately froze Nijika; she hadn't expected it to be such a powerful band.

4P and AG are both quite famous bands, and the thought of performing at such a concert made them nervous again.

"Ah, don't worry, there will be rehearsals before going on stage. Besides, you can't stay in Starry Sky forever if you're going to perform, right? It's good to go out and see the world, especially for you, Pochi."

Ren Amamiya pointed directly at Pochi-chan, who was frozen in place: "I don't understand why your technique is so good but your performance on stage is so bad. You are the kind of person who needs to practice the most."

"Ha, hi-ee!"

When Boqi was pointed at, she immediately stood at attention, frozen in place, wanting to say something but not daring to.

"Then let's settle this matter. Since you, Sister Xingge, don't want them to perform at Fanxing, they can come to my place for a rehearsal first."

"When did I say they couldn't perform at Starlight Entertainment?"

Xingge frowned, puzzled. Her seemingly contradictory words gradually calmed Hongxia down. She rationally suppressed her emotions and understood the meaning behind Xingge's words.

Then she ran out the door in a huff: "I hate you the most! You don't know how to talk properly and you're so old, yet you can only sleep with a stuffed animal!"

After waving her hands twice at the door to express her displeasure, Hongxia ran away.

Her words left Xingge bewildered, wondering what was wrong with her: "Why are you saying such hurtful things? It's so inexplicable."

But soon, her attention was drawn to the photos Liang showed her on her phone.

"The dolls she's talking about, could they be this tattered panda, rabbit, and cat?"

Wow~ So cute~

"Delete the photos! Right now! Where did you get these photos from?!"

“It’s from Lian’s side; he has many more.”

"Rain! Miya! Ren!"

As it turns out, the stars were quite lively today.

Xiangzi, who had been serving as a background figure for half the chapter, was diligently mopping the ground. Upon hearing Xingge's voice, he couldn't help but sigh and continue working.

Chapter 51 Kumamoto help Kumamoto

Although Ren Amamiya resolved the crisis between the sisters, Nijika Ijichi still ran away, so Kita pushed Ryo and called on Pochi to quickly go and bring her back.

We're about to open for business, and now Hongxia has run away! What are we going to do if she goes to work?! We need to catch her right now!

"So lazy..."

"Don't be lazy, senior!"

At this point, Ryo still had an idol aura in Kita's eyes, so no matter how unwilling Ryo was, Kita still had to bring Ryo along.

This is really tough on Liang!

After watching them go upstairs, Hoshika looked at Amamiya Ren with considerable dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with you? You introduced them to RiNG, and now you're siding with outsiders?"

Her dissatisfaction stemmed from Ren Amamiya's decision to move the band to other livehouses. Even though Shinsekai was a livehouse specifically for Nijika, why was Nijika being asked to go elsewhere? Was that acceptable?

"It's all because you can't speak properly. If I didn't say this, Hongxia would hate you to death."

Ren Amamiya shrugged helplessly. "You can't speak properly, and I'm trying to help you out, but you're blaming me?"

"what?"

Clearly, Xingge is unaware of just how annoying her words were, but that's just how it is; Xingge often says one thing and means another.

She's not the classic tsundere type; she starts with an adorable "No way!" She's almost thirty, owns a livehouse, and is even quite good-looking, yet she's never had a boyfriend. Undoubtedly, it's all because of her mouth.

Although she meant well, what she said was a different story. Even her own sister sometimes couldn't understand it immediately, let alone others.

Only Ren Amamiya, with his years of social experience, knew that to judge a person, one must not only look at what they say, but also at what they do. That's why he was able to discover the hidden charm beneath the surface.

Naturally, after comforting the younger ones, it was time to comfort the older ones. Ren Amamiya walked behind Hoshika, put his arm around her, and continued, "I understand your thoughts, but Nijika and the others also need to grow. If they keep performing at Fanxing, they won't grow much."

Fanxing is ultimately their own territory, so it doesn't matter if the performance is a disaster. Although they won't say it outwardly, they will definitely think that way subconsciously.

Otherwise, Nijika wouldn't have performed so badly in the last show.

From the warm-up act to the performance, there were many mistakes throughout, which shouldn't have happened. They had rehearsed for several days, and it was clear that they weren't working hard enough.

So the reason we invited the band to perform this time was to put pressure on them and increase their intensity. They are quite capable, but they lack experience and need to work hard.

Pressure is a motivator, and this is also the first time that Ren Amamiya has taken them out to play in other places. If they don't perform well, they may not have another chance in the future. Under such pressure, they will definitely grow appropriately.

Especially Bochi-chan, she is the one who needs to grow the most. She is very strong, but she just can't bring out her full potential, which is not good.

If she has to rely on that mango box to cover herself to perform again next time, then she might really have to hide in the box for the rest of her life to perform.

While this behavior is rock and roll, it's not good at all; it lacks the essence of Pochi.

After all, anyone can fit into the box and play an instrument, which gives people the feeling that anyone can take her place.

And more importantly... it's not cute at all.

At least put on a teddy bear, right?

"Alright, don't worry so much. If you want, you can just schedule another show for them next month, right?"

As Ren Amamiya spoke, she fiddled with the straps on Hoshika's shoulders. After listening to Ren Amamiya's reasoned and persuasive explanation, Hoshika stopped talking and simply leaned back, resting her head against Ren Amamiya's body.

"Let's assume you're right for now."

She agreed.

Watching Ren Amamiya and Seika's actions, Saeko, who was not far away, quietly took another of Ren Amamiya's chess pieces and put it in her mouth to eat quietly.
