Joker's Band Game Story

Oh right! I also have to thank my neighbor next door.

After sitting on the bed, Renna realized that her house was provided by her next-door neighbor, and that the neighbor had helped clean the room before she could move in immediately.

There were still things in her luggage that the other party's mother planned to send her.

She took two gifts out of her luggage and then got up to knock on the door of the next room.

One of the gifts was from our own family. After all, the other party had helped us so much, so we should give them a gift in return.

It's nothing really, just some fruit.

There have been some changes in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce around the world, so fruit isn't particularly expensive. However, unlike China, which is a major agricultural country, fruit has simply gone from being completely unaffordable to being a slightly pricey item. But these fruits are all locally grown in Kumamoto, so they aren't exceptionally expensive.

"Which one?"

Upon hearing the knock, the person inside responded loudly, and then the noise inside the house subsided.

She had been hearing sounds like chopping vegetables since earlier... Could it be that the other person was making dinner?

The other person didn't open the door immediately, but cautiously looked through the peephole to see who was at the door. They found it was an unfamiliar girl, and after comparing her to the descriptions their mother had mentioned…

"Ah~ It's you~"

After confirming that it was her neighbor, Meowmon happily opened the door to welcome her: "Welcome! You've arrived in Tokyo~"

He greeted Nina in his native Kumamoto dialect, and Nina breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the familiar dialect.

"Um... nice to meet you. This is a gift."

"Ah~ You've really gone to so much trouble~ Well then, I won't stand on ceremony and accept it~"

Miaomeng warmly accepted the two gifts, exchanged a few pleasantries with Rencai, and then closed the door.

She did invite Nina in, but Nina was a little reserved and uncomfortable with Nyan's enthusiastic attitude, so she made an excuse and left.

"Ah... Wu Ling Meng Yi Ren Er Ling Ci Er Lin * / Qi Shi Ba Liao Ah."

Although she had already arrived in Tokyo, she was still a little confused about what to do next... Since things had come to this, she decided to scroll through her phone for a while.

She turned on her phone and subconsciously started looking at random things. Soon she noticed that someone she followed had posted an update.

'momokan_1209: Today's performance location—Ikebukuro. Image.jpg'

In addition to a location for the street performance, a photo was also included.

Ikebukuro? It doesn't seem that far away?

"Ikebukuro, Ikebukuro... Ah, it's not far indeed."

After checking the distance, Nina realized that taking the train wouldn't be too far, so she grabbed her wallet and phone and set off for Ikebukuro under the cover of night.

Meanwhile, in RiNG in Ikebukuro, Ren Amamiya was wiping the keyboard. He was filling in as the keyboardist today, and he even brought out his own keyboard from home for the job.

He usually chooses which instrument based on his mood. He does have quite a few instruments at home, specifically for various performances. However, for most performances, there's not much of a strict rule, and he usually switches between instruments like keyboards, which he doesn't use often. This time, he specifically chose a keyboard that he hadn't used all year.

"You seem to be in a good mood today?"

Hailing crossed her arms and looked at Amamiya Ren, asking him about some things that happened today.

"Huh? It's not bad, I just thought of a few songs. By the way, did Lixi say when he's free?"

Ren Amamiya wasn't in a particularly good mood; she just felt okay, nothing special.

Today, while teaching Chihaya Aine guitar, I noticed she's made great progress, but that's all.

"Ah, Lixi, she said it will take a while. Her band will most likely have a live show later."

“侕揪球捂③虾柒（一）珊Qun Oh, this, I know, the 4p and ag bands were short of people to help with their concerts, so they were asked to perform on stage... By the way, do you want to go and watch? I happen to have a few tickets here.”

Ren Amamiya pulled the concert ticket out of his pocket.

There were quite a few tickets. Although most of the tickets were sold by the bands 4P and AG, Ren Amamiya still managed to get more than twenty tickets from them.

As for these tickets... they were obtained through purchase. Ren Amamiya felt that he needed to put a little pressure on the End Band, so he entrusted them with the task of selling tickets.

He wasn't actually short of money, but he couldn't let the End Band perform casually, so he had them work through a formal process: selling tickets and teaching them instruments so they could participate in the performance properly.

The main task is to teach Kita. If Kita is just a lead singer, she doesn't need to be taught; they just need to practice more. But since she insists on being a guitarist and lead singer, she needs to hone her guitar skills. Her level is comparable to Chihaya Aine's.

So, is it trendy for guitar-playing vocalists not to play guitar these days? Ren Amamiya found this very strange.

Anyway, with her skill level, she'll be fine as long as she gets to perform on stage.

Hmm... I heard they're planning to write their own song to sing. Ren Amamiya doesn't mind. He can just write two songs, and then the band can sing one more.

"Thank you very much."

Hachiman Kairin accepted the ticket directly. Mercenaries can only enter and exit a livehouse if there is a performance that day. Amamiya Ren is an exception. He can enter and exit for free because he has a fairly good relationship with Tsuzuki Shisen. After all, he didn't plan to watch other bands perform, and he wouldn't go in to watch them on a regular basis.

Just thinking about seeing Ren Amamiya and Riki perform that day made Hailing hum softly.

"You seem to be in a good mood as well."

"of course."

Hailing didn't deny it. At that moment, she noticed a band not far away beckoning her over, so it seemed that something had happened again.

My mood, which had just been good, so soured again.

"Then I'll get to work first."

"Go ahead, I'm about to go practice with the band members too."

There's still a short time before going on stage, so it's no problem to practice a couple of times. It's not his first time working with this band, and everyone has a certain level of understanding.

Practice, performance, and offstage – everything was done in one go. After finishing all of this, Ren Amamiya asked Hailing if she wanted to go for a late-night snack after her performance.

"But aren't you really worried about gaining weight from eating late-night snacks? I've heard that many girls have this concern."

"It's okay, I'm the type of person who can't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

Hai Ling said, and even made a fitness pose: "What's more, I do exercise, and I burn a lot of calories every day, so I actually eat quite a lot."

I see, that explains it.

Generally speaking, people who can't gain weight usually have some health problems, such as difficulty absorbing nutrients. So when Hailin said that she couldn't gain weight, Amamiya Ren was worried that it was because she couldn't absorb nutrients, but in reality, it was just because she was consuming a lot of energy.

That's true. How could Dad possibly do that every day, carrying a bass box around like that without some ability?

"I didn't realize that."

"Because I haven't done any strength training, my muscles aren't very defined... Would you like to touch them?"

Hailin stretched out her arm, indicating that Ren Amamiya could touch it.

Ren Amamiya briefly touched the leather jacket a couple of times and could indeed feel the muscles.

It's no wonder that Hai Ling is often mistaken for a tomboy; her figure can easily confuse some young girls.

As far as Amamiya knew, Hailin did have some female admirers and even had suitors, but she rejected them all.

This approach is correct, but Amamiya doesn't think having sex with fans is a good thing. He's never done it this way in his past life; he's only heard about it from others.

Maintaining a certain distance between fans and idols is essential. After all, aspiration is the greatest distance, and once that distance is reduced to zero, the aspiration will be shattered.

Moreover, this kind of thing can easily lead to bigger problems. Many people have been hurt because of this, so Amamiya certainly wouldn't make such a mistake.

"That's really good, you've been exercising a lot."

Ren Amamiya ultimately only offered this one comment, and then the two continued walking and talking along the way.

So what are you planning to eat tonight? | Qi Ling's Dad (Part 4) | Liu's Dad (Part 7)

This became a new problem, but Hailin quickly provided an answer – Yoshinoya.

It's Yoshinoya again. Ren Amamiya never expected that Hailing would choose Yoshinoya again this time.

"I didn't try the beef rice bowl last time, so I'm planning to give it a try this time."

This is Hailing's reply, and to be honest, it is indeed a valid reason.

After all, when it comes to late-night snacks, you can eat whatever you want, there's no need for so many reasons.

Ren Amamiya didn't mind, so the two of them went to Yoshino's house again.

This time, however, he saw someone he knew.

"Huh? Rupa, what are you doing here?"

Ren Amamiya felt a little strange seeing Rupa greeting him. Why was she there?

"Who is this?"

Hailing was surprised that Ren Amamiya knew the waiter here, so she asked Ren Amamiya about his situation. Ren Amamiya explained to Hailing that the waiter was a member of the band she had once supported.

It seems like they're not very close, that's alright.

Hailin felt a little more at ease. She didn't ask any more questions. She just sat down, ordered a beef rice bowl, and listened to Ren Amamiya chatting with Rupa.

Rupa explained the reason simply: her original lease had expired and the landlord was unwilling to renew it, so she and her roommate Zhizhi came to Ikebukuro and found a new job.

The salary at Yoshinoya was decent enough, at least enough to make ends meet for them, so they rented a cheap little house nearby, which became their new home.

Chapter 53 Nina: I feel like university is getting further and further away from me.

"But haven't you formed a new band yet?"

"A new band has been formed, although it's more of an entertainment band. Let me introduce the band's bassist, Hachiman Kairin."

Ren Amamiya introduced Hailin, who was sitting next to him, to Lupa, and Lupa clapped along in response.

"That's amazing! I must congratulate you properly."

Rupa smiled and squinted, saying she was happy that Ren Amamiya had a new band.

Although it seems like just an ordinary band, or rather, the band formed by these two seems more like they're just playing around.

Although Rupa's band currently only has two members... Rupa also wants to find more people to help.

For example, Ren Amamiya, but obviously, it's no longer appropriate to look for Ren Amamiya now, as he already has his own teammates.

More importantly, this teammate is also a bassist, which overlaps with my own role, so there's absolutely no hope for me.
