Joker's Band Game Story

Ren Amamiya saw right through Ryo's little scheme; how could he not guess Ryo's hidden thoughts?

Do you think you can just order something for her to drink without knowing what it is? You wish!

Sake thieves are Japanese snacks served with sake. They are so delicious that people say, "It's like the sake has been stolen," hence the abbreviation "sake thieves."

But this isn't wine, so Amamiya Renryo-Yume-Fin* Ball?紦wu四)liu八<qiqi still ordered her a plate of it so she could properly taste it.

“Arigato, Ren.”

Faced with Ren Amamiya's generosity, Ryo couldn't help but show a pitiful expression to express his gratitude.

It's as if everyone else was abusing her; this just goes to show how Liang is.

In the end, Nina ordered a plate of fried potato wedges, a decision that surprised Kita, who exclaimed, "Eh~ it's the same dish that Pochi ordered~"

Is it the same dish as everyone else's?

Nina couldn't help but glance at Pochi-chan, who was hiding in the corner, quietly eating her fried potato wedges.

"Hi~ Hi~ This is 486~ I have a question I'd like to ask~"

"speak."

Why do you call that little girl "Pochi-chan"?

At this moment, Ang pointed to Pochi-chan sitting in the corner and asked her curiously why she called her that.

'Little Loneliness', that nickname sounds really strange~

"Because it's similar to her name 'Goto Ichiri,' and given her aloof personality, what do you think of the nickname I came up with? Isn't it great?"

Liang explained directly, and even gave a cool thumbs-up, seemingly wanting to receive praise from the crowd.

"Ah, that's really impressive~"

Ang looked at Pochi-chan, who was grinning from ear to ear in the corner. Although he didn't know why she was so happy about being commented on, she did look quite happy.

Nina was also silently observing the scene, looking around cautiously like a little hedgehog.

It seemed that among so many people, she could only sense the presence of her companions from Boqi-chan.

"See that? That's the band!"

But at that moment, Momoka reached out and patted Nina on the shoulder: "Look at that Pochi-chan, even someone as introverted as her has the other members of the band looking after her, that's what a band is all about~"

"Then why did Ms. Momoka leave the band?"

But Momoka's words did not reassure Nina. She just lowered her head and subconsciously spoke.

Her words caused the atmosphere at both tables to freeze, and everyone looked at Momoka and Renna.

"If playing in a band is really as fun and enjoyable as you say, Ms. Momoka... then why did you leave Diamond Dust?"

"Because those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

Ren Amamiya suddenly spoke up, interrupting their conversation: "These are things that many people who play in bands go through. Although playing in a band is fun, there are still many things to consider after a band debuts. It's rare for a band to end when everyone's thoughts are in the same direction. So when I played in a band, I not only felt very happy, but I also didn't have any worries."

As she said this, Ren Amamiya patted Ryo beside her: "Ryo has also encountered a similar situation. She broke up with her band when she was in junior high school because she felt that the other members of her band were too opportunistic and had no intention of making music properly. So this situation is perfectly normal."

"Yes, having fun in a band and breaking up due to differences in ideas are not mutually exclusive."

Ryo couldn't help but respond at this moment, her gaze turning to Ren Amamiya.

There was one thing she didn't ask, and that was about Ren Amamiya.

Why doesn't he just stick to playing with a band? Why does he keep working as a mercenary?

But she felt it was inappropriate to bring these things up now, so she simply turned her gaze away silently.

"No!"

At this moment, Pochi suddenly shouted, and it was clear that she had fallen into her own mental world again and encountered some strange things, which caused her to break down.

"Wow! Has Pochi-chan gone crazy again?"

Boqi's reaction drew everyone's attention. They didn't know that when Boqi heard about the band breaking up, she thought about not being able to debut in high school, about not being able to go to university due to poor grades and having to go straight to work, about being targeted and persecuted at work, and about living alone on the second floor, drinking beer and looking at her tablet, living a lonely life.

"I have to start making a living playing guitar as soon as possible... otherwise I'll have to rely on my parents..."

Pochi-chan, lying on the ground, was foaming at the mouth and muttering to herself. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly clear in the quiet setting.

"I feel that Pochi-chan... is quite unique."

Ang couldn't help but comment on Pochi-chan, then her gaze fell on Kita and Ryo as they walked to Pochi-chan's side, watching in horror as Ryo took the sandpaper from Kita's hand.

"Wait, what are you doing?"

"It has to be like this every time, it's really tiring."

As Kita spoke, she watched Ryo perform gua sha on Pochi-chan's face again.

"Oh no, it seems like I made a mistake." "It's okay, see, this will fix it."

With their combined efforts, Boqi's face became a V-shaped face.

Ang's eyes widened in disbelief; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

Wait, what you're doing... Is this still Earth? Am I still dreaming?

"I think your faces are a bit too long, aren't they? Let me do it."

Ren Amamiya calmly took the sandpaper from Ryo's hand and began to give Pochi-chan a makeover.

Soon, he finished his work, and his successful artwork left Ryo, Momoka, Saeko, and Hoshika speechless with astonishment.

"Si Guoyi~"

"Wait a minute! This isn't about Si Guoyi anymore! Is this normal? Is this normal?!"

Ang couldn't help but slam her hand on the table, looking at Pochi-chan whose face had completely changed. She couldn't adapt to this face that looked exactly like a JoJo character!

As for Rencai? Rencai's eyes were already vacant at this point.

She felt like she couldn't adapt to Tokyo anymore. Was this what big cities were like?

Mom! This is absolutely terrifying! (Kumamoto).

After a period of playful banter, everyone started eating and chatting. At this time, Ryo said to Kita in a rather sly tone, "Yuyo, you've been practicing your guitar really well lately."

Upon hearing Ryo mention her name, Kita trembled involuntarily, her entire body stiffening.

Momoka, who was drinking beer with Hoshika, had a flushed face. She couldn't help but look at Ryo and asked, "Eh? Who's Yudai?"

"Yes, who is it? Who is it?"

At this moment, Kita looked much like Pochi-chan usually does, completely losing her composure.

"It's you, isn't it? Kita Ikuyo."

Ren Amamiya calmly tore away Kita's last fig leaf; Kita hated her name very, very much.

After all, Kita Ikuyo's name translates to... "came and went," or "returned home."

"I've been hiding it all along! Why do you all seem to know? My full name is Kita Kita..."

"Pfft, it's rare to see Kita looking so dejected, that's funny."

Liang Heixin was laughing heartily on the side, and you could clearly see how ruthless he was.

As expected of Zangie~

At this moment, Pochi-chan belatedly realized that Nijika seemed to have disappeared. She glanced around again and found that the introverted girl named Rina seemed to have vanished as well.

So she stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom."

As she spoke, she walked out of the izakaya and found that Nijika was chatting with Nina outside.

"That's it..."

Hongxia stood next to Nina, placing her hands on Nina's shoulders: "You did the right thing, yes, you did nothing wrong."

"But why... even my father wasn't standing by my side?"

"Ah, everyone has their own perspective, and everyone has their own way of handling things. I don't want to comment too much on your father's matter, but there's one thing you need to understand."

With a smile, Nijika said something that Nina would never forget: "If you think what you're doing is right, then keep doing it. After all, that's what we've all been doing."

"You?"

"Yes, Ren-nii, Ryo, Kita, and that Momoka-san, that's what everyone did. No one in this world can guarantee that what they do is right, but as long as you don't go against your heart, just boldly forge ahead. As for right or wrong... we'll see after we've made it through."

The Archangel of Shimokitazawa began to radiate her personal charm, encouraging Nina: "Since you feel you're not wrong, then keep fighting. Some people won't support you, but others will. Everyone has their own troubles, but it's precisely because you can't ignore your true inner thoughts that you continue to be troubled like this!"

"Hongxia-chan!"

With such unconditional support from Nijika, Nina couldn't help but tear up.

She hadn't received such pure and simple encouragement in a very, very long time.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Pochi-chan quietly moved back a little. She felt... that she was no longer capable of caring about what was going on with Nijika.

Chapter Seventy-Six: A Shocking Kneel

"Ah... I really can't drink anymore..."

When Momoka pulled out her three other cold wife, she looked like she couldn't take care of herself, which made Amamiya Ren feel a little helpless.

This guy drank so much just because he was treating, right?

"Does Lian need any help?"

"It's okay, no need. I'll just take a taxi back later."

Ren Amamiya waved his hand casually, seemingly quite used to Momoka's attitude.

Taxis are indeed expensive in Japan, but Amamiya has the money to spend. He's already treating everyone to dinner, so why would he be short of money for a taxi?

So after saying goodbye to the others, he took Tao Xiang into a taxi, and the two of them sat in the back and walked home together.

"I still have to carry you on my back...you rascal..."

Upon arriving at their destination, Ren Amamiya carried Momoka upstairs, supporting her bottom as usual to prevent her from falling off.
