Joker's Band Game Story

Momoka Kawahara rubbed her nose, she felt as if someone was talking about her.

"You have a cold? You caught a cold at night?"

Amamiya Ren asked and handed the menu to the third person present, Jing Qin Renna.

Jinna took the menu and couldn't help but look at it.

At this time, the four of them were preparing to have dinner, which was called shabu-shabu but was actually a stew. As soon as Amemiya finished looking at the dishes, he handed it to Nina, the last one, to see if she wanted to eat anything to make up for her loss.

"Well... Actually, I think both are fine..."

"Really? There's no need to save money for Momoka. Every penny you save will become wine in her stomach anyway."

Hearing that Nina didn't plan to add anything, Amamiya Ren couldn't help but persuade Nina. At this time, An He Subaru next to her also persuaded her: "That's right, we must kill Momoka today~"

"Uh... well then."

At this time, Rencai couldn't help but lower her head and continue looking at the menu. She was indeed very nervous at this moment, because among the four people present, there were two who she was not familiar with at all.

Although they have met last week, it does not mean that she can completely let go of her heart and easily accept these two people. In fact, Rencai is a very domineering person at home, that is, she is introverted to outsiders and introverted to others.

Amemiya might be the better one. I've met him a few times and know his personality. Except for the fact that I always feel like he treats me like a child, everything else is fine.

But An and Subaru... She really couldn't handle them. Subaru was really a troublemaker.

And compared to last time, this time seems even more embarrassing.

The last time was Amamiya Ren's celebration party. There was a table next to them, and everyone was unfamiliar with each other. There was nothing to do in the corner. I just had to eat my food in silence and listen to them chatting.

And... was encouraged by a little blonde girl.

Although the other person is one year younger than me, she is like an adult, encouraging me in many things and giving me a lot of fighting spirit to continue studying hard.

But compared to last time, there were only four people this time, and they suddenly became the focus of attention. Rencai was like a little hedgehog, wanting to curl up into a ball and not move.

Especially... she didn't like girls like Subaru, who were smooth and polite all the time, which made her feel so hypocritical.

Compared to Subaru, she was more used to Amamiya Ren sitting next to her. She seemed easy-going, but in fact... she was also easy-going. This consistent behavior made Nina feel relaxed.

It's like having a kind grandfather by my side, even though Amemiya is one year younger than me.

"Serve the food, I can't wait to eat anymore!"

Everyone ordered their dishes, and soon the dishes were served. Taoxiang, who had been drinking beer from a while ago, couldn't help but eat some snacks, so she immediately put a large pot of dishes in when no one else was paying attention.

"There are too many dishes."

Subaru couldn't help but complain. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up the dishes in the pot and picked up some of the good dishes for Rencai: "If the cabbage is overcooked, the texture and taste will be bad."

"Isn't it better to cook cabbage until it's soft? It absorbs all the juice and has a richer flavor. And that soft feeling is the essence, right?"

Amamiya Ren immediately retorted that he didn't think cabbage would be delicious if it was just boiled in water. It had to be boiled for a long time before it was cooked. This was not just for cabbage, but for all green vegetables.

"Huh? How can you eat like that? And look at what's in front of you, do you really think your way of eating is correct?"

Subaru pointed at the small bowl in front of Amamiya Ren. There was half a bowl of sesame paste in his small bowl, and it was sprinkled with chopped peanuts, coriander, green onions and other ingredients. In her opinion, this way of eating was simply heresy among heresies.

But this is the habit of Amamiya Ren, who was a Chinese in her previous life. Isn't it normal to use sesame paste or peanut butter as dipping sauce for hot pot and shabu-shabu? But Japanese people usually choose raw eggs, or soy sauce, wine, etc., or just don't dip anything.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the way I eat it. If you think the cabbage tastes good right after it's put in, why don't you choose to eat it raw?"

"That's better than overcooking it, right?"

For a moment, the two of them had a direct argument about the food. Seeing that the two seemed to be quarreling, Rencai became panicked again.

But in fact, this was not a quarrel at all, but just a discussion between the two people with a slightly bad attitude.

So Tao Xiang beside her couldn't help but sighed. She just drank half a cup in one breath and felt extremely comfortable: "Since you two can't argue who is better, then ask the third person to see who is in the minority."

Momoka's words immediately made Amamiya Ren and An He Subaru look at Nina who didn't know how to persuade the two to stop quarreling. Nina saw that the two were staring at her and couldn't help but whispered: "Actually... I like the cabbage to be cooked a little softer..."

"The heretic has appeared!"

With the support of Nina, Amemiya pointed at An and Subaru. It seems that now it can be proved that An and Subaru are the ones who are eating the wrong way.

This also made An and Subaru scream out: "Ahhh! Obviously, the way you are eating is wrong! Momoka! How do you think you should eat it?"

"Ah? As for me... I don't mind. As long as it's cooked, it's delicious."

Taoxiang said this, picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, expressing her ideas while eating.

In some ways, Taoxiang is actually quite easy to grow.

"Damn it! You don't even support me! Come on! If you don't support me anymore, I won't be your drummer anymore!"

An Hesuba couldn't help but get angry when she saw Momoka like this. She grabbed Momoka's neck and pulled her over, and started to attack her.

This look made Amamiya Ren burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere just now disappeared instantly. Instead, Nina felt a little strange.

Why do they get along so naturally? Why... do I envy their relationship so much?

Renna, who had not yet fully integrated into the situation, was still looking at this scene with envy, and at this time Amemiya also brought a bowl of boiled cabbage to her.

"Come on, eat it. It's already cooked and tastes pretty good."

Completely different from the crisp feeling of eating it raw, the cooked and softened cabbage has a unique flavor.

Hearing Amamiya Ren's gentle voice, Nina couldn't help but look at him.

He didn't look at himself, but continued to scoop vegetables from the pot. Unlike Subaru who gave the vegetables to himself just now, Amamiya Ren's method seemed to be just casually doing it, with a sense of "it should be this way".

It was not deliberate at all, nor was it to please others. It was just a casual act, as if he would do the same no matter who was around him.

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? It's Taoxiang's treat anyway. Waiter, give Taoxiang another beer!"

"I know how to order it myself! Don't be so generous when you're not treating me!"

Momoka's words also made Renai laugh, and she gradually relaxed.

If An Hesuba's sarcasm and his accommodating and flattering attitude towards him made her feel scared, then Amamiya's easy-going and indifferent attitude made her feel at ease.

It's like the warm feeling of having dinner with family in my imagination.

They are both taking care of themselves, but for some reason, Amemiya's approach makes him feel relaxed, while Subaru makes himself more stressed.

"Don't think so much."

Amamiya Lian picked up the food with chopsticks and stirred it with sesame sauce: "We are just here for a meal. Everyone has their own habits. This is not a dinner party that everyone needs to serve. Just do whatever you want."

"Yes!"

Chapter 2: The more terrible the success is

"So, Niina has agreed to join the band?"

After eating and drinking, Amamiya Ren looked at the drunk Momoka and couldn't help but look at Renai next to her.

Renai nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yes... Momoka has always wanted me to try it, and I... want to try it too."

"Want to give it a try? That's good too. It never goes wrong to try."

Amemiya doesn't mind that Nina wants to be the lead singer. It has nothing to do with him. If Nina is willing, he naturally won't say anything.

But in fact, the reason why Renai agreed to this was because of that live performance. It was her first time watching a live performance, and seeing everyone on the stage was so wonderful and gorgeous, she couldn't help but feel envious.

In addition, Taoxiang has been nagging her for some time, like the snake that tempted Eve to eat the apple, telling her that she can pour out all her inner thoughts through music.

Various reasons and words successfully made Rencai confused, so she decided to give it a try.

But she had a prerequisite, that she would only play music part-time, and she still had to take the college entrance examination.

But her stubbornness seemed to Amemiya...

Just like the little widow who only appears in the book and says "I can only do it", she is just talking and will definitely not be able to do it.

Once people become interested in something, it is difficult for them to suppress their interest and do other things.

It’s okay once or twice, or even for a day or two, but to keep doing this for a year... it’s very difficult.

Besides, Japan is not China. If you don’t want to take the college entrance examination, then don’t take the college entrance examination...right?

Anyway, it would not be Momoka who would be beaten, so Amemiya chose not to care about it. After all, he could see that Ninai was not so eager to study and go to college. It seemed more like she didn't know what she was going to do, so she wanted to go to college.

This is normal, just like many Chinese kids who graduate from college and don’t know what to do so they say they want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I don’t know whether they really want to do it, but they just give themselves a false goal so that they won’t be unable to do anything in the future.

He had a general understanding of Nina's situation. She was bullied at school, had to drop out of school and became a dropout. She came from Kumamoto to Tokyo to prepare for the college entrance examination. Her father was an educator.

Educator, when Amamiya Ren heard the word, she felt a little uncomfortable. The educator's child was bullied to the point of being afraid to go to school. This was a bit too... difficult to comment on.

Maybe this is Japan, every family has its own problems.

Naturally, it's hard to say how much of Nina's desire to go to college is actually her own true feelings.

"Everything depends on your own ideas. If you want to play, then there's nothing wrong with having fun. Hey, don't forget to pay."

Amamiya Ren looked at Momoka who was already drunk and couldn't help but sigh, not knowing what to say.

Taoxiang is a girl who has a low alcohol tolerance but loves drinking. If I weren't watching her, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

"Okay, now that we've had enough to eat and drink, let's go home. By the way, can you fix the light over there? It shouldn't be out of reach, right?"

The main reason for this gathering was that the light in Nina's house was broken, and Subaru happened to have an unused lamp at home, so she said she would give it to Nina.

So everyone gathered at Amamiya Ren's house and came to Shibuya to have dinner together.

Therefore, An Hesuba said that if she had known this, she would not have run around so much. Her home is in Shibuya.

"Of course it's no problem!"

At this time, Renai responded very seriously. She knew that she was short, but Amemiya's words made her stubbornly say that there was no problem.

"Well, I'll leave you alone then~ Let's go Taoxiang."

Amamiya Ren supported Momoka, who seemed drunk again, and did not insist on going over to help.

He could see that Rencai was a little hedgehog, and it would be inappropriate if he took too much care of her. Momoka, the only one who could reasonably comfort her, now looked completely drunk and speechless.

So we can only let this awkward little girl figure it out on her own. At worst, we can ask Momoka about the situation when she sobers up. Doesn't Amamiya think that this child is too stubborn? If she really can't put it down, then she can just put it down. When Momoka calls and asks if it's still not fixed, then we can ask her to come over to help.

After eating and drinking, Amamiya Ren paid for Momoka's meal, and then everyone went home. Ninai returned to her small room alone, holding the lamp.

Amamiya Ren's worries were right. When Rencai stood on the coffee table and tried to turn on the light, she found that she was not tall enough and could not reach it.

This situation also made her very annoyed, and she even thought about jumping up and pressing it.

But the moment this thought came to her mind, she dismissed it herself. She couldn't do it.

Installing the light is not just a matter of pressing a button, it also has to be turned. She is not a gymnast, so there is no way she can do it no matter how hard she tries.

Then of course I can only ask others for help.

When thinking of other people, Renai couldn't help but think of her neighbor and fellow villager. She was also a Kumamoto, so she should help her, right?

At this time, Miao Meng, who was looking at the video data in her room, was thinking about how to increase the number of her video fans. Although she found Amamiya Lian, it turned out that it was not enough. It was true that the number of her video views had increased again, but she still had to find a way to open up new areas.

"It's really... so difficult..."

Miao Meng was lying on the bed looking at the tablet. No matter how she looked at it, she felt unhappy.

The results have improved, but they are no longer as successful as when I first started trying videos.

Sometimes people are not afraid of failure, but of success. One failure, two failures, often will not destroy people's fighting spirit, but once they encounter a fluke success, they will continue to act with the mentality of "I succeeded once, so how long will the second time be?", and will not mention failure in the future. Even if they succeed, they will not be satisfied as long as they are not better than this success.

"You were able to do so well in the past, why can't you do it now?" "You were successful before, but now it's definitely not enough."

A lucky success is more terrifying than failure, and Miao Meng is now caught in this madness.

Obviously, the collaboration with Amemiya has increased her traffic and popularity, but it is not enough, far from enough.

She still wanted more, and wanted the same good results as before.

But this trouble can only continue to haunt her. For her, a child who is still in high school, it is really too difficult to resist such temptation.

While I was wondering about this, someone knocked on the door.

"Hello, are you home?"

Miao Meng heard the voice of the little girl outside the door, and she couldn't help but hum in confusion.

This is strange. Isn't the girl next door always very introverted? Why did she take the initiative to come to me today?

"What's matter?"
