Joker's Band Game Story

Hailin and Amamiya certainly didn't mind. It wasn't their fault, so what did it have to do with them? They could just take the money and leave.

Hailing didn't even intend to say a word to the band; she simply waited outside the starry sky for Amamiya to go out for a late-night snack together.

Before leaving, Ren Amamiya also explained to the group what he wanted them to see.

"You all need to understand that when forming a band, no matter what kind of band it is, you must be of one mind. Once you are not united, no matter how strong your abilities are, you can't turn the tide. So whether it's the band that's ending or the unknown band on your side, I hope you can do one thing—unity and cooperation."

After saying this, he gave Ai Yin a meaningful look and then left Fanxing.

His words to the End Band weren't very effective. He could see that the four members of the End Band had complementary personalities, and they would only become more and more united.

He was saying this to Ai Yin, hoping to let her know some things about the band's performance.

If the team is not united, the performance will be terrible.

Ren Amamiya had considered the possibility that when Sōse confirmed that Sōko would never return to Crychic, she might also break down and choose to leave the band herself.

When that time comes, Aine will need to go find her.

He was an outsider and there were many things he couldn't do, so he reminded Aine of this point. He believed in Aine's initiative and that she would definitely be able to pull people back.

This also ensures that if Xiangqun Iling 1 Qi Si Wu Jiu Si Jiu Ba Zi really goes back, Ai Yin will be able to leave the band more calmly when she discovers that everyone's hearts are not aligned.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Li Xi's Minor Mistake

Xiao Mu's agreement to join the band did not surprise Amamiya. On his way to school the next day, he received a message from Xiao Mu saying that she wanted to play together.

However, her family is quite strict, so she can only go out on weekends. Ren Amamiya doesn't mind this, but just reminds her to be careful.

Compared to Xiao Mu, there was another thing that Amamiya Ren cared about more, and that was the message from Hai Ling.

'Lixi fell asleep in class.'

This statement seems nonsensical, but Ren Amamiya recalled Aine's mention yesterday that the lyrics for the song had already been written, and he roughly guessed what was going on.

Did Li Xi not sleep at all last night? And then he just wrote the song?

Oh, and Ryo also composed the music at the same time. Ryo also sent Ren Amamiya a copy of the music she wrote. Porchi's lyrics also proved that the End Band now has its own songs.

It seems like both bands are on the right track~ That's great.

'Then I'll have Lixi send me the music later.'

Ren Amamiya replied casually, but after sending the message, he added, "Never mind, I'd better not tell her."

He felt that Li Xi was quite concerned about saving face, and if he were to actually ask Li Xi for the song, it would be like a teacher asking a student, which would be very disrespectful to him.

So he added a sentence, telling Hailing not to actually go to Lixi to ask for the song.

But in Hailing's eyes, his two sentences seemed to be announcing a different meaning.

'You care about Lixi a lot?'

'Really?'

'You're starting to notice her little moods.'

Is Lixi's attitude simply a matter of being emotional? Oh, Hailing~

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but grimace, but he could only continue replying to the message: 'It's a gentleman's duty to be considerate of others' feelings.'

'But you don't treat everyone like that. You weren't exactly known for your kind of talk in the band.'

Hailing immediately refuted Amamiya's statement, not believing that Amamiya Ren was so easy to talk to.

'Okay, I only went out of my way to help you because this matter has nothing to do with me.'

What kind of person Riki is has nothing to do with Amamiya Ren, which is why he tolerates Riki's little temper.

Moreover, her temper wasn't exactly bad, and since her willfulness didn't hinder Ren Amamiya's behavior, Ren indulged her.

It's like when someone else's child is making a ruckus on a train. Some people might find it annoying, and some might even want to beat the child up. But for Ren Amamiya, as long as the brat doesn't cause trouble for him, he can do whatever he wants. At this moment, he has boundless tolerance.

Of course, if the little brat bumps into her or makes a scene, Ren Amamiya will teach him a lesson.

He must have scared plenty of naughty kids in his past life.

Compared to those naughty kids, Lixi seems adorable, after all, Lixi isn't that mischievous.

"Lotus Lord~ Lotus Lord~"

Ren Amamiya suddenly heard Ann Takamaki calling him, so he looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong, Ann?"

"Hey, when are we going to rehearse?"

Anzu, propping her chin on her hand, couldn't help but ask Ren Amamiya, as she actually valued this stage performance quite a bit.

She would be very upset if her performance was affected by insufficient practice.

"Really? How's your practice of the sheet music going?"

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but ask. He had already written the lyrics and music. Next, everyone needed to practice for a while. Both Ann Takamaki and Makoto Niijima needed to practice more.

But after Ren Amamiya said that, Anzu's face immediately fell.

"Ugh...this feels so hard..."

"Take your time, don't rush or panic. There's still plenty of time, two more weeks."

That's right, two weeks. The school festival is the Saturday after next, and today is Friday, so it's a little over two weeks.

Ren Amamiya plans to practice during the last week, partly because he will be very busy with the upcoming live performances and won't have much free time until the end of the live performances, and partly because he is still missing a lead vocalist.

Makoto Niijima said he would solve the lead vocalist problem, but in any case, practice should wait until the lead vocalist arrives, right?

"How about this, I'll teach you privately at noon?"

"Huh? Really? Okay!"

Ann Takamaki responded happily. She had only asked Ren Amamiya for help because she lacked confidence in going on stage. Since Ren Amamiya had said so, she was satisfied.

Ren Amamiya, on the other hand, feels that he might become even busier in the next few weeks.

It's good that he's busy, at least he's happily busy playing music, and he doesn't mind teaching others.

Since he had already taught Aine and Kita, there wouldn't be any problem teaching Anzu as well.

Anne's guitar skills are significantly better than Aine's and Kita's, but they're still only at an amateur level. She'd be perfectly capable of performing on a stage like the school festival, but since she's ambitious, Ren Amamiya is naturally willing to help her.

I taught guitar at noon, and in the evening, Ren Amamiya went to RiNG to teach Aine.

Now that the new song has been written, he naturally wants to read it as soon as possible and think about how to teach Ai Yin.

"I feel like something's not quite right. Could you take a look and let me know after you've finished practicing?"

After saying this, Li Xi rushed off to rehearse, while Amamiya Ren lowered her head to look at the sheet music.

He didn't ask Lixi for this sheet music; Lixi gave it to him voluntarily. Since she gave it to him voluntarily, it had a different meaning. So, Amamiya Ren sat down, drank his coffee and milk, and looked at the sheet music, intending to take a good look at where the problem was.

"The song 'Walking with the Blue Sky' has a good name and a good song."

After reviewing the entire score, Yin Erlin Saner Lingqi I ShiV found it to be without any problems, everything was quite good. However, Amamiya Ren's eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

He realized that Li Xi seemed to have made a mistake: why was there only one guitar tab for this song?

Didn't Lena join the band too?

"Wildcat, ah!"

At this moment, Lixi, who was in the rehearsal room, couldn't help but press her face against the drum. She finally realized that something was wrong.

Yesterday, while composing, she felt like she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it. She stayed up all night to work on the score, and this was the result. Feeling disoriented, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

She only prepared one guitar tab, so she will now have to change it to two, one for rhythm guitar and one for lead guitar.

The rhythm guitar is responsible for harmony, serving to support the lead vocals, and is mostly found in the middle and lower registers. The lead guitar, on the other hand, is primarily responsible for solos, and sometimes plays interludes in the piece, generally appearing in the higher registers.

However, the two are not clearly distinct and sometimes they are mixed up.

But the score for this piece definitely needs to be redone, and Lixi couldn't help but start to worry again.

She worked on this sheet music until 3 a.m. yesterday, and if she has to revise it again today... should we say thankfully she doesn't have class tomorrow? Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to handle it.

"I want to play it."

After glancing at the sheet music, Lena immediately plugged in the music and started playing. Listening to her performance, Lixi immediately stood up and ended today's rehearsal: "I need to go back and revise the piece. That's all for today, Wildcat. Remember to come to practice on time tomorrow."

After saying this, she ignored the others' confused exclamations of "Huh?!" and immediately left RiNG alone.

Even Ren Amamiya, who was sitting at the shop entrance drinking coffee and milk, didn't say much, only leaving behind the words: "I know where the problem is, I'll go fix it now."

Of course she could spot the problem, since Lena had gone inside with her.

So after Lixi left, Lena strolled out and immediately said, "Matcha Parfait," when she saw Ren Amamiya.

"I've already asked Ms. Rinrin to prepare it for you, you can wait a little while."

As Ren Amamiya spoke, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Momoka Kawaharaki, who was standing at the front desk: "By the way, why haven't you left work yet?"

He remembered that Tao Xiang should have been off work by now, so why was she still here?

"The shift has changed. Time is too tight early in the morning, so we extended it by an hour."

Tao Xiang explained the reason directly: she hadn't gotten out of bed in the morning, which was why she hadn't finished get off work yet.

Rinrinko didn't mind that, since there weren't many customers in the morning and it wouldn't be a problem without her.

After nine o'clock, band members will go to reserve practice rooms and so on. At that time, Rinrinko will have to leave the cafe to attend to other matters, while Momoka can stay at the cafe to serve customers while she goes to work.

The café is large, but it doesn't get many customers. Tsuzuki Shisen bought the entire building; this large space, which looks like a café, is sometimes used for children's parties.

So it's fine if she's aloof on weekdays. Tsuzuki Shisen isn't expecting to make money from the coffee shop anyway, so having Momoka on her own is enough for her on weekdays.

"Okay, then you can take care of the breakfast bowls from now on."

"Hey! Why?"

"What do you mean 'why'? I buy groceries and cook, what's wrong with you washing the dishes? Besides, the reason I didn't let you wash the dishes before was because I was afraid you'd be late for work. Now that you're not going to be late, there's nothing wrong with you washing them, right?"

Ren Amamiya crossed his arms and spoke directly, leaving Momoka speechless with her mouth agape. In the end, she could only lower her head and agree.

As an adult, it's already shameful enough to let a minor take care of you. If washing dishes wasn't so tedious, she would have agreed long ago.

So after Ren Amamiya said that, she didn't make any more excuses and just agreed to it.
