Joker's Band Game Story

"lotus……"

At that moment, Momoka suddenly called out Ren Amamiya's name. Hearing that the other person was calling him, Ren Amamiya subconsciously hummed in response.

"like……"

"..."

Then, behind Tao Xiang, I heard the word "like".

This did not surprise Ren Amamiya. He was not stupid; how could he not sense Momoka's affection?

However, Ren Amamiya did not respond to her words, which she could only utter in her dreams.

After putting her on the bed, he covered her with the blanket himself.

"Good night."

He left behind only this one sentence.

In his view, all answers given now are premature.

Let's wait until Taoxiang has no more worries before making a decision.

Tao Xiang still has a lot to deal with, and matters of love and relationships... well, let's wait until her future is more stable before considering those.

We can't give her any more burdens.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, when Ren Amamiya went to school, he was already surrounded by his classmates.

Or rather, it wasn't just his classmates; some of his friends also went to support him yesterday, such as Li Yaoling, Lupa, and Niijima Makoto. They all went to see the performance.

However, because they weren't very enthusiastic, they were positioned very far back, and Ren Amamiya couldn't see what was happening behind the audience seats at all while on stage.

The stage was lit up while the audience seats were dark, so it's perfectly normal that you can't see what's behind you.

So he has to deal with this group of people today as well, and everyone congratulated Ren Amamiya on his great success yesterday.

Although Ren Amamiya didn't feel there was anything to congratulate him on, he still accepted all the blessings.

However, amidst all this joy, there was also a small troublesome matter.

It was Aine who sent him the message; she couldn't contact Sosei anymore.

"Oh no! Sousei suddenly stopped replying to my messages, what should we do, Ren-sensei! Could it be that she hates us now?"

Although Aine told Akari that Sase was so gentle that he would definitely forgive everyone, she wasn't really at ease inside.

After all, if a gentle girl like Sōse could turn into that, she must have been very sad at the time, right?

How can we make her feel at ease?

She instinctively turned to Ren Amamiya, hoping he could offer some help.

However, Ren Amamiya couldn't offer much help in this regard. He wanted to help, but he wasn't very familiar with Sōse.

So after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it might be better to let Shuangshi calm down for a while longer.

He was there that day too, and he saw Shuangshi's antics. At that moment, he roughly understood what was going on.

She felt she couldn't pull Xiangzi back; he had broken down, so she fell silent.

In response to this situation, Ren Amamiya could only comfort Aine and say that he would find a solution.

As for the solutions...

"Is it a pleasure?"

Mutsu sat in the chair with his head down, listening to Ren Amamiya ask about Sase.

Ren Amamiya knew that both Sōse and Mutsumi were students of Tsukimori, and given that Sōse kept harassing Mutsumi, Ren could guess that Sōse and Mutsumi must know each other, and they might even be in the same class.

Therefore, he wanted to learn about Shuangshi's situation through Mu.

"She took the day off."

Mu, stroking his guitar with a satisfied expression, revealed the truth that he hadn't seen Sōse for several days at school.

Shuangshi has disappeared. She claims she's resting at home because of a cold, but the truth is unknown.

Could it be that the shock caused him to catch a cold? Or was he simply using this as an excuse to stay home and rest?

Ren Amamiya was unaware of this; he decided to wait and see, as it was the only thing he could do.

And this wait lasted for four days.

On the evening of the fourth day, Ren Amamiya suddenly received a message from Mutsu.

Shuangshi came to school; she wanted to see Xiangzi.

These two sentences seem disjointed, since Xiangzi is not in Tsuki no Mori but in Haneoka, but Ren Amamiya immediately understood the meaning of Mutsumi's words.

She was saying that Shuangshi finally arrived at school today, and that she told Mu that she wanted to see Xiangzi.

Mutsu was unsure of what to do, so she came to ask Amamiya.

Regarding this, it's because Amamiya had previously mentioned that if Sase went to school, he should let him know, and if there was anything wrong with Sase, he should also let him know.

Knowing Mu's personality, he only asked her for this small favor.

In return, he also promised that if Mu ran into trouble, Mu would help him.

Obviously, we've encountered it now.

Caught between Sōse and Sōko, Mutsumi turned to Ren Amamiya for help.

However, Ren Amamiya felt that... the two should meet.

Some things need to be made clear.

"Place?"

Asukayama Park.

Here? It's a bit far.

Ren Amamiya clicked his tongue softly and headed straight for Asukayama Park.

There's nothing much going on today, so he can go check out the situation at Asukayama.

But when he arrived at Asukayama Park, he saw Sōse and Sōko arguing.

Mutsu stood to the side, her back to Amamiya. Amamiya couldn't see her expression, but she could guess at her helplessness.

"Please! I want Crychic to start over, I want to recapture those happy times we all shared!"

Hearing that the two had argued to this extent, Ren Amamiya did not go over to disturb them, but instead decided to listen to what they were arguing about.

He still doesn't know what the situation is between the two of them. Yu I zero different seven dead five guilty nine (eight) is the one who sent Mu a message, hoping that she can tell him what is going on.

But Mu's gaze remained fixed on the two of them, completely unaware that his phone was ringing.

Moreover, she couldn't stand idly by any longer, and Shuangshi pulled her into the conversation as well.

"Xiaodeng and Lixi also hope so. I also contacted Xiaomu, and Xiaoxiang, you too. I plan to ask you to come back to the band later."

She mentioned Mu directly, which made Xiangzi look at Mu behind Shuangshi.

And upon looking at him, she naturally noticed Ren Amamiya behind Mutsumi.

Why is he here?!

Xiangzi's face immediately turned even uglier, but Shuangshi didn't know that Xiangzi's sour expression was because she had seen Amamiya Ren. She just said more urgently, "We really hope you can come back! After all, it was Xiangzi who created Crychic in the first place!"

"So I ended it myself."

Xiangzi no longer wanted to stay here; she wanted to escape the moment she saw Ren Amamiya.

She doesn't want people from her past to contact her, nor does she want the people around her now to know about her past.

She still retains the pride of a young lady from a wealthy family, but her current tragic situation makes her unwilling to let others see her scars. She doesn't want anyone to know about her past, which she wants to seal away like a dark history.

Therefore, she was unwilling to let Amamiya, who only knew about his family's decline, know anything about his past.

Even though he had come to help Crychic after her, she was unwilling to bring up the past again, especially in front of an 'outsider' like him.

"It's not over yet!"

But Sōse had no intention of letting Sōko off the hook. Clutching her chest, she shouted at Sōko, "I've been working hard for crychic!"

She said this excitedly, even catching her breath as she spoke.

She tried too hard, she cared too much, she really couldn't forget Crychic.

"No one asked you to do this. This is an ultimatum. You are not allowed to have anything to do with me again."

After saying these words, she turned and left as if she were fleeing in panic.

Although she shouldn't be going this way, she didn't dare look at Ren Amamiya and could only walk quickly by herself, unwilling to stay here for another second.

So she was completely unaware of how much her words hurt Shuangshi. Shuangshi was stunned when she heard Xiangzi's words, and the bag she was carrying on her shoulder fell to the ground.

Shuangshi didn't freeze for long. She immediately reacted, quickly catching up and grabbing Xiangzi's hand: "No! That's not it! I really cherish everyone! I like everyone so much! Please! If it weren't for you guys, Xiangzi, I would..."

"let me go!"

Xiangzi was really anxious now. She didn't dare to look back at Amamiya Ren's eyes anymore, and she didn't dare to look at Amamiya Ren's expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Is it anger? Disappointment? Or some other thought?

She didn't want to say anything; she just wanted to run away quickly.

But Shuangshi did something that shocked her even more; she actually knelt down beside her and asked, "What do you want me to do for you to come back?"

She was so humble, so weak, like a wife trying to hold on to her husband who was coldly wanting a divorce: "I'll do anything I can!"

But Shuangshi's words directly provoked Xiangzi.

She saw her past self in Shuangshi.

All those past statements and actions now seem to have bounced back at them like boomerangs.

She was once just as naive and innocent as Shuangshi, thinking many things in the world were so simple and taking many small things so seriously.

"How much awareness do you have when you say such things? You're just a student, do you have the ability to completely shoulder the burden of someone else's life? 'Willing to do anything' is such a heavy phrase. Don't say things you can't do."

Mu stood behind him with her mouth drooping. She knew exactly what was going on with Xiangzi, which was why she understood that Shuangshi's words were of no use to Xiangzi.

Would she do anything? Would she help bring Xiangzi's father back home after he was evicted? Could she guarantee Xiangzi's future?
