Joker's Band Game Story

Xiao Mu shook her head slightly; she didn't feel that her trip today had been in vain.

It wasn't just because it was Xiangzi's request, but more importantly...

She heard a good song.

If I played in a band with Ren Amamiya... would my guitar skills improve?

Mu couldn't help but ponder.

She has always had one problem: she can't make her guitar sing.

Her guitar friend is a friend she cherishes, and she hopes that her guitar friend can be happy and sing joyfully.

In some ways, she might have something in common with Pochettino...

She watched the band play today, and she could tell that their instruments were singing.

She wanted it too.

If I could play in a band with Ren Amamiya and have my guitar sing, that would be easy...

She wanted to give it a try.

"The lyrics are already written? That's great."

At that moment in RiNG, Shiina Tatsuki received the lyrics newly written by Takamatsu Akari, and she immediately picked up her notebook and quickly looked at them.

After Akari and Aine announced yesterday that they would participate in the live performance, she finally felt completely at ease. And now that she has seen the lyrics, she feels completely at ease.

"So, as for composing..."

"I already said I'd do it."

Upon hearing Shuangshi's question, Lixi interrupted her directly, stating that she was capable of writing wonderful music.

She had to write a melody worthy of the lyrics; only then could she see the scene she longed to witness live again.

The lights can sing loudly on the stage.

But she didn't notice that her sudden answer made Shuangshi purse his lips.

Do I need you to compose the music, Li Xi?

If that's really how it has to be... then what should we do...?

Shuangshi unconsciously reached for her hands again; she had no idea that Lixi could compose music.

When did you start learning composition?

"After that incident."

Lixi didn't have much time to talk to Shuangshi; her attention was entirely focused on the lyrics in front of her.

Suddenly, a flood of inspiration struck her, and she couldn't wait to compose the piece.

But no rush, no rush, we can't be in a hurry right now.

After all, there's a certain pink-haired girl in the group, and I have to go along with her when composing, otherwise if I write something too harsh, she won't be able to play it, which would be troublesome.

Thinking about it, Li Xi couldn't help but glare fiercely at Ai Yin again. Her strange behavior made Ai Yin feel like she was being glared at by Li Xi.

Wait a minute, why are you glaring at me?!

Ai Yin's thoughts were no longer important, since Li Xi's attention and energy were all focused on Deng's lyrics.

She quickly browsed through the pages; the song in her mind was about to take shape.

Her efficiency was so fast that even Amamiya had to marvel at her extraordinary talent.

After all, Lixi has only been learning music for a short time, and it's already quite impressive that she can create such a piece.

I forgot the beginning, I forgot the middle, but in short, Li Xi is a genius.

However, she felt that this was not enough for her. Her eyes were always on those who were stronger. She would not relax until she could overcome the obstacle of her sister.

But for a genius, the most tragic thing is that her sister is even more talented than her. The top student in the regular class becomes a middle or even lower level in the honors class, which is indeed a huge blow to a person.

If Lixi had Aine's optimism and willingness to give up, she wouldn't be constantly putting pressure on herself. She puts pressure on herself every day, putting pressure on her entire body, so she's like a powder keg, always showing signs of exploding at the slightest provocation.

Most people would know that Riki is not someone to mess with just by looking at him, but there's this mischievous kid, Ren Amamiya, who hangs around this powder keg every day, teasing it every now and then, as if he really wants to wait for it to explode.

If Hailing hadn't stopped it last time, the explosive barrel might have really detonated.

So if this explosive barrel claims it can compose music, then it definitely can.

She believed in herself, and others believed in her too.

It was precisely because of this belief that Shuangshi unconsciously clasped her hands; she could think of no other reason that would make Lixi accept Xiangzi back.

If no one else can compose music, then she can bring up Xiangzi. Everyone except Aiyin knows about Xiangzi's compositions, so they can rest assured.

Well, no one knows where the cat went, so everyone assumed that the cat was also a member of the team.

"If all else fails, if all else fails... I'll go find that guy Amamiya."

Lixi gritted her teeth and said this. She was very reluctant to ask Amamiya for help, but she couldn't keep up her pride if things really didn't work out, so she had no choice but to respond like this.

Her words made Shuangshi lower her head instinctively; she had nothing more to say.

I made a bet with Ren Amamiya, but how can I invite Shoko over? If Shoko won't see me, where did she go?

"So, are we practicing again today? Hey, my guitar skills have improved again!"

Ai Yin confidently held her guitar, looking incredibly cute with her eagerness to show off.

The lamp beside her looked at Ai-yin and clapped its little hands involuntarily: "Ai-yin is so amazing."

"You just need to play the piano well whenever you can rehearse... We won't practice today, I need to go back and write out the piece."

Li Xi was in a great hurry; she was so eager to finish writing the piece that she hurriedly got up and took her leave.

Inspiration abounds, an overwhelming amount of inspiration! At this moment, it's crucial to seize these inspirations and not let them slip away. Lixi swiftly departed, leaving the remaining three looking at each other in bewilderment.

She was so anxious that she even forgot to bring the lamp home.

"Then I'll take the lamp home today, bye-bye, Shuangshi~"

Aine greeted Sōse, then took Tō's little hand and skipped off to join her.

Shuangshi sat alone in the chair, silent, looking quite lonely.

No one noticed Lonely Little World; everyone was busy with their own things.

After finishing her work with Fanxing, Amamiya Ren went to find Aine for extra practice.

The band's growth was also very rapid, and Amamiya estimated that there would be no problem with them performing on stage by then.

Even Kita, who seems to have the most serious problems right now, has practiced a lot with Pochi-chan at school. Looking at it this way, everyone's learning progress is quite encouraging. As long as they don't get stage fright during the live performance, everything will be fine.

Sure enough, some pressure was needed; once that pressure was turned into motivation, everyone's growth rate was quite rapid.

"Hey~ Aren't we practicing today?"

After Aine delivered the lamp home, she received a message from Ren Amamiya when she was almost home, asking her to come to Fanxing.

"If you don't practice, your fingers might not be able to take it. Give your fingers a break for a day."

There's really no need to rush Aine, because she can already play "Haruhi Kage" very well. It's not perfect, but it's good enough for her to perform on stage.

The new song hasn't been finished yet, but from Aine's words about Amamiya Ren, who can't keep secrets, we know the lyrics are done. All we have to do is wait for Tatsuki to finish the music so we can start practicing. I estimate it should be finished in the next day or two... We can practice a bit more over the weekend.

Ren Amamiya was right. It wasn't too difficult for Aine to practice a piece until she could perform it on stage. Although she didn't know music theory and wasn't very skilled at the guitar, she could just practice a single piece until it became muscle memory. The difficulty of that was completely different from truly mastering the guitar.

"Today I'll show you other bands' performances, so you can learn a lot and understand how to perform live. I'll also introduce you to the closing band; they also perform on stage at the end of the day's show."

Ren Amamiya arrived at the entrance of the Starry Sky to meet Aine, and Aine followed Ren into the Starry Sky.

As she passed the ticket window, she couldn't help but glance at the ticket seller a couple more times. She saw that the seller was dressed in a maid outfit and wearing a mask, which was cute but also had a touch of mystery.

Hmm... this combination is so interesting, I'll write it down.

Aine, who loves fashion, naturally wouldn't overlook this point. If she weren't with Ren Amamiya at the moment, she probably would have already chatted with the ticket seller about fashion.

Shoko, who was at the ticket window, noticed that Aine had been brought over by Ren Amamiya. She frowned, but no one noticed this behind her mask.

Shoko wasn't surprised that Amamiya brought a group to support her, since it wasn't the first time. But this time, she happened to run into an acquaintance, which made her feel a little awkward.

Touching the mask on his face, Xiangzi couldn't help but sigh that he had really chosen the right mask; it would have been utterly embarrassing if he had accidentally revealed his true self.

However, Xiangzi overlooked one point—who said she was the only student of Yuqiu in this place?

"Hey! Isn't that the weirdo in the gym uniform from the next class?!"

Aine noticed Pochi-chan, dressed in a maid outfit, sneaking around in the corner with her back to her, and exclaimed in surprise, "Can gym-wearing weirdos take off their gym clothes?!"

"Apologize! What kind of weird thought process is that? Of course, everyone in school is a student, there are no weirdos here!"

Ren Amamiya tapped Aine on the head to calm her down.

It's really frustrating that this silly girl actually believes in such rumors about the campus legends.

"A gym-wear weirdo? What kind of rumor is that?"

Nijika, who wasn't attending Haneoka High School, was quite curious. Looking at the girl Amamiya had brought over and then at Pochi-chan, who was facing the wall not far away and didn't dare to turn around, she immediately guessed that something interesting had happened.

"Ah, it's one of the school's seven great rumors~ The legendary gymnastics weirdo. No matter the season, there's always a ghost in a gymnastics uniform wandering around the school. You can't talk to her and she won't respond. She always appears in some dark corners during breaks. I don't know the specifics."

Ai Yin couldn't help but chuckle. She had just transferred schools and didn't know much about the rumors; they were all hearsay.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Miss Toyokawa Otomi

As we all know, every university has its share of rumors, such as the seven great wonders, eight strange tales, and nine supernatural events.

Yuqiu was no exception; although the exact number of rumors varied, he could still learn something about them.

One of them is the gymnastics weirdo.

Some schools in Japan are not particularly strict about school uniforms. They usually allow students to wear a garment over their school uniform as long as they are wearing a school uniform.

This is why in many anime involving Japanese high schools, only the main characters don't wear their school uniforms properly and aren't criticized by the school, because it's allowed.

Of course, the other students are all well-behaved and just want to make drawing easier for them; otherwise, if each student had a different drawing, the artist would be exhausted.

So it's not a problem if someone wears a tracksuit over their school uniform.
