Joker's Band Game Story

In RiNG's coffee shop, Aiyin, who was taking a break by browsing her phone, suddenly said something in surprise, and her words made Li Xi couldn't help but hum in confusion.

"What message did he send?"

"It's about the performance. News about the performance."

Aiyin pointed her phone at Li Xi and told her about the performance: "Lian teacher said there will be a new performance tomorrow, at the Shibuya Music Festival."

"Oh~ Shibuya Music Festival."

We all live not far from Shibuya, so we know a little about the Shibuya Music Festival.

The performance schedule for this time should have been released. I didn’t expect that Amemiya would also participate in it?

"Yes, he said this is the last performance of his band and he hopes everyone will come and support him."

Aine looked at the message Amamiya sent and couldn’t help but pout, “It’s the last performance. It sounds so sad.”

"He supports so many bands, this situation is too common. Normally, bands don't hire support musicians unless there are major problems."

Lixi's attention was returned to her own score. She was not very satisfied with her previous poem and planned to adjust it again.

The main reason was that Aiyin's level was better than she expected, so she had to increase the difficulty for Aiyin to make the music more complete. In order to take care of Aiyin, she had also weakened Aiyin's rhythm guitar a lot, but as a price, the sound would naturally not be full enough.

"Really? Then this Say Sad band is really pitiful."

"Which band are you talking about?!"

Of all the things Ain said just now, this one was the one that caught Li Xi's attention. She immediately looked at Ain, waiting for her to repeat which band she was talking about.

"Say sad, what happened to this band?"

Aiyin's question made Li Xi stunned, and she just froze in place.

This strange behavior also made Aiyin confused. She walked up to Li Xi and waved her hand in front of her eyes twice: "Li Xi? Li Xi! Why are you in a daze?"

"Say Sad is...Lian and Hailing's band. How come it's the last performance?"

Li Xi didn't expect that he would hear this. He had only not been there for a week, so why was the group going to disband soon?

After coming to her senses, she immediately took Aine's phone and quickly read the message.

"Eh? Is it a very important band? Then should we go check it out tomorrow? What do you think?"

Aine turned her head and asked Deng, who was still drawing on the notebook at this time. After hearing Aine's words, she raised her little head in confusion.

Just now, her attention was not on Aine at all, but on drawing very seriously. After Aine repeated what she found, Deng finally understood what was going on.

"I want to see it."

Deng immediately expressed that she wanted to go and take a look.

She wanted to hear what kind of songs Amemiya sang.

She was too nervous at the previous live and didn't even listen, but this time, she wanted to listen.

"Then let's go and see it together~ Let's go together~ Ah, Shuangshi, you're here. We plan to go see Teacher Lian's performance together tomorrow. Do you want to come with us?"

Aiyin noticed that Shuangshi had also come over, and immediately asked Shuangshi this question happily.

Shuangshi, who had just walked out of the Moon Forest and came all the way to RiNG, had not yet adjusted to her current state, and there was still some awkward emotion on her face.

She came in shyly without saying a word, but Aine stuck to her like a sunny puppy.

"Don't go."

Shuangshi gave a straightforward reply that she had other things to do tomorrow and she did not plan to watch Amamiya Ren's performance.

"Hey~ But that was the last performance of Teacher Lian's band, and we all planned to go and see it."

"The last show?"

When Shuangshi heard this important word, he felt something was wrong: "Why is it the last game?"

"Ah... maybe it's because Hai Ling joined another band... I was wondering why she's been acting so strange lately."

Li Xi couldn't help but mutter. In the classroom, she found that Hai Ling and Chu Hua's relationship had become quite good recently. She hadn't thought much about it at first, but now she felt it was strange no matter how she thought about it.

Her answer also made Shuangshi's eyes sharpen all of a sudden: "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

If it was just an ordinary performance by Amemiya, she really didn't want to go to see it. In fact, she has never been very interested in the band's performances.

But if this performance is important to Amemiya, that’s another matter. She needs to understand what it is all about.

Lixi's words not only made Shuangshi feel concerned, but also Ain next to Shuangshi, the light in the picture in the corner, and Lenai who was sitting on the chair and was controlled by the candy given by Ain all looked at Lixi, hoping that she could give an answer.

What exactly caused this band to hold its last show?

Amemiya, will he still come to help them even when his band is about to disband?

"Ah, I don't know much about this. I only played with their band twice. I only know that Lian formed a band with Hailing and Mu."

"Why is there still Xiao Mu's matter?"

Shuangshi felt even more confused at this moment. Why was there still Xiaomu's matter? How come she didn't know anything?

All of a sudden, she felt that she needed to understand what was going on better. She put her bass aside, sat in a chair and listened attentively to Lixi's account of what she knew.

Li Xi suddenly found that he was surrounded by them. Why were they so concerned about Amemiya's affairs?

(PS: After watching the eighth episode today, my evaluation is... If the seventh episode wasn't there as a buffer, the eighth episode wouldn't be much better. The first six episodes never showed that Mortis couldn't beat Xiao Mu. Didn't you bury Xiao Mu with a doll and dig her eyes out before? And then you give me this in the eighth episode, right? If Mortis didn't lie, then this transition is too abrupt. You really just put the outline here for everyone to see, right? There is no polish at all.)

(PS2: Good news, the Hai Ling I'm writing now is not OOC, and I know how to write it. Bad news, I don't know what to do with Xiao Mu's plot. I fell into thought when I looked at the outline. You're not a dual personality anymore. What the hell am I going to do? WSD, if you can't make it up later, I'm going to treat you as a second creation.)

Chapter 17 The drummer Xiangzi wants to recruit is preparing for a live performance

Today is the rehearsal time. Momoka is looking at the music score and thinking about how to play it later, Amemiya is adjusting the keyboard, and Ninai is doing ideological work.

That's right, it was her first time singing in front of everyone, which made her extremely nervous. Even though it was still a rehearsal and not an actual performance, she was extremely nervous.

"By the way... our bassist hasn't arrived yet?"

Subaru asked, standing nearby in her school uniform. She was the only one still wearing a school uniform among the people present.

According to her, school uniforms are the most convenient. Not only do you not have to worry about what to wear today, but you will also be treated as a JK and get a lot of discounts.

So Amemiya was a little curious whether Subaru would continue to wear the school uniform after graduation.

"No, she has something to do today and asked for leave so she can't come. But with her skills, there won't be any problem with the live performance tomorrow. She is a band mercenary like me and is used to cooperating with others."

Yu Gong said casually, he glanced at his phone, and there was indeed no reply.

And in the chat records, Hai Ling did apologize to Amemiya and said that she could not attend the rehearsal today.

"So I hope to hear that it's something important, rather than calling us all here for some overly casual reason. I'm here to push a very important matter."

On the other side, in a certain office, Hai Ling hugged her chest and talked to Toyokawa Shoko who was sitting in her seat. She didn't hope that Toyokawa Shoko asked everyone to gather together for no reason.

Xiangzi glanced at Hailing coldly. She didn't take Hailing's words seriously because this matter was indeed very important, and she didn't think Hailing could have anything important to do.

It's nothing more than supporting other bands, just being a band mercenary. But speaking of the band, the most important thing now is that they ave mujica, which is also what was mentioned in the contract before.

They are now a commercial band, different from those playful bands.

Mu was in the middle, looking at Hailing and Xiangzi on both sides. She knew the situation best and understood how important today was to Hailing, but she was not good at speaking and in the end she couldn't say a word.

I can only sit here and look at them blankly.

"Ah, I believe Xiangzi must have something important to say, otherwise the office wouldn't ask me to put my work here aside for the time being."

Chu Hua came to smooth things over at this time. She didn't want the team relationship to deteriorate before everyone had gathered.

But what she said did prove the important reason why Xiangzi held this meeting. The fact that Chuhua was sitting here was enough to prove how important it was.

After all, Chuhua also has Sumimi's idol team to deal with, and she can be said to be the most tired one running between the two.

"Okay, let's stop talking about small talk and talk about the important things right now."

Xiangzi stretched out her hand to signal Chuhua to be quiet. Next, she was going to talk about some important arrangements: "Regarding this meeting, we have three things to deal with, the selection of drummers, the practice plan after the personnel are gathered, and the arrangement of the fastest attack on the martial arts hall."

That's right, the three things on Xiangzi's side were indeed an important matter that required everyone to attend a meeting. Even though Hailing felt that there were some problems with this meeting, she didn't open her mouth to ask about the situation directly at this time.

In Hai Ling's opinion, the latter two matters should be held after the drummers are all found. Why are they held so early now? As for the selection of the drummers, what does it have to do with Hai Ling herself? She is just a mercenary.

With this mentality, Hai Ling looked at Xiangzi calmly, waiting for her next words.

Xiangzi also noticed Hailing’s doubts. In fact, this question was not only shared by Hailing, but also by Chuhua.

So she had to explain a little more: "Because the future plans will be very tight, we have to find a drummer and start practicing before this Sunday, so we won't have time for another meeting. I will explain the drummer's situation to you individually when the time comes. Now let's have a group meeting first."

Time was tight so we had to make the most of it, so Xiangzi began to explain the band to everyone.

We are all high school students and still have to go to school during the day, so the tight schedule is indeed reasonable.

"First, the selection of the drummer. This is my current list of candidates. They are related to several people, so I will hold a meeting to inquire."

As Xiangzi was talking, she played the PPT, and the projector immediately switched to the next page, revealing the candidate she favored.

And everyone present knew this person, and that person was Amamiya Ren.

"Lian?"

After hearing Xiangzi's proposal, Hailing couldn't help but pursed her lips. She decided to listen to Xiangzi's words a little more.

If she could perform with Amemiya, she would have no complaints. In fact, if she could really get Lu Leng'er to come in, she would feel less guilty for not attending today's rehearsal.

Precisely because she knew it would be difficult to cooperate with Amemiya again, she cherished every meeting with Amemiya. Today, it could be said that she was deprived of one of the few opportunities to play with Amemiya. It was normal for her to be unhappy.

"Yes, it's Amamiya Ren. I think you are all very familiar with him, so I don't think I need to say much about his drumming skills."

Toyokawa Shoko did not choose Amamiya Ren randomly. What she valued was Amamiya Ren's drumming ability.

As Fanxing's former waitress, she knew quite a lot about Amamiya Ren. His level of ability was quite high, and if he could be brought into the team, it could be said that this band would be truly a battleship-level band.

"Well, Amamiya is also very good at composing music."

Chuhua couldn't help but add here that she highly recognized Amamiya Ren's ability in writing lyrics and composing music, and that Sumimi had the sole right to use several of her songs from him.

"No, I only value his drumming ability. I want to write the lyrics and music myself."

But Xiangzi's words surprised everyone. They didn't expect Xiangzi to be so persistent on this point.

Generally speaking, the lyrics and music of a band will be assigned to different people separately. This is also to reduce pressure. Everyone is a student and has to go to school on weekdays. They can't fall behind in their studies. So Xiangzi has to write lyrics and compose music while going to school, so the pressure can be said to be quite great.

Chuhua thought Xiangzi had brought Amemiya here for his ability to write lyrics and compose music, but if that wasn't the case...

"Then he's not the only choice, right?"

"Yes, but he is indeed the best choice at the moment. He is familiar with us and the team will have a better understanding. But I just mentioned this for the time being. After all, the possibility of his agreement is not high. I also hope that you can get more communication with him and see if you can bring him into our band."

This is why Xiangzi wanted to bring everyone over to talk. She knew that Amemiya's personality was not the kind of person who could easily form a band, so she suggested that everyone go and talk.

There is strength in numbers, maybe he will agree?

"Then we will talk about the follow-up work arrangements. Our short-term goal is..."

Xiangzi didn't plan to say more about Amemiya's situation. She just said that the target was Amemiya. Whether it could be successful or not was another matter.

Even if Amemiya is not capable, he will definitely be able to recommend some suitable candidates. Xiangzi's schedule is very tight. She must find a suitable drummer within the next two days of the weekend to successfully form a band.

After all, she had made a bet with her grandfather, so she must win this battle.

That's right, the reason why Toyokawa Shoko was able to reach an agreement with Sumimi's agency during this period of time and not only get the support of the agency but also the assistance of Chuhua was because Shoko took advantage of the power of the Toyokawa family, and this power was naturally also obtained from her grandfather.

She needs to gain this power and achieve success, only then can she and her father have a new life.

But the price is... once I fail, I will have to go back to my grandfather, listen to him obediently, and leave my father completely.

So she has to succeed, she must succeed, she has to succeed.

Therefore, as for Amemiya, she must do everything she can to get it.

"How about it?"

At this time, Renai couldn't help but sing for the first time. She looked at the other three people nervously, not knowing how her performance was just now.

"Very good, very good..."

An He Subaru was wiping the tears from her eyes at this time. She didn't expect that the song would feel like this.

She was just holding the drum and beating the drum without any feeling of sadness at all, but when everyone really started practicing together, this heavy feeling of sadness suddenly swept over them.

The impact was so strong that she needed to calm down.

Of course, the more important reason was that Renai's voice was so good that she was able to finish it in one breath.
