Joker's Band Game Story

On the one hand, Xiangzi is unreliable, and on the other hand, he is somewhat worried about Hailing.

Xiangzi's plan to set up Mujica may have been conceived a long time ago, and now it has finally been implemented, so the initial plan was very good, even perfect. But the subsequent plans could not keep up with the perfection of the previous ones, and there was a sense of anticlimactic.

Then he must find a way to help Xiangzi solve this small problem. After all, this is his personality. He will provide help as much as possible when people around him encounter trouble.

Otherwise, if something went wrong with the band, it would definitely not just be Xiangzi who would be affected, but five people. Coincidentally, Amemiya knew all five of them.

As the two were discussing, the performance had already begun. The singing began before the curtain was drawn.

But it was not so-called rock music, but folk music, and it was the traditional British folk song - Greensleeves.

"Oh, my love, you have wronged me and abandoned me without mercy."

As the singing started, the curtain rose and the lights shone on the center of the stage. Chu Hua, who was sitting on the stairs at this time, was wearing a mask and singing a folk song loudly. To Amemiya, this folk song seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"My love for you is so long, and I am delighted and happy in your company."

This performance narrates Mujica's worldview. As they are approaching the Budokan, they are naturally carrying out the final wave of operations to attract new fans, so they moved the original settings in the game back to the stage and presented the plot of the game in the form of a musical.

The puppet played by Chu Hua is an abandoned puppet, but she is unaware of this and enters this masquerade ball illuminated by the waning moon.

The moon swallowed by the shadow will be reborn, and the sad dolls will get a short life again. Only on the day of the waning moon will the dolls gather again, and the abandoned dolls will gather together for warmth.

　[医日本] When Hua met the other four people, as Xiangzi and others chatted with each other, the audience could gradually complete this world view.

“What do you think of this design?”

Off the stage, Akechi Goro couldn't help but ask Amamiya Ren next to him. Amamiya just touched the mask on his face and said, "It's quite novel. It can indeed attract other people's attention through this gimmick and quickly gain a fan base."

That's right, masks. Today is a masked evening, so naturally all the audience members have to wear the masks they prepared. If you don't have a mask prepared, the theater will provide masks for everyone.

The mask that Amemiya wears himself is in the shape of a white bird, with jet black around the eye sockets. Compared to his mask, the mask of Goro Akechi next to him is even more exaggerated. He wears a Crow Tengu mask.

Tengu is a monster in both China and Japan, and the Akechi Tengu mask is a typical Japanese monster, with a red face, long nose, and wings on its back. It can be said to be a very terrifying creature.

I don't know why he chose such a mask.

"Indeed, the gimmicks that are enough to attract traffic and strong acting skills can quickly attract fans and keep them. Their success is the result of a combination of many factors. It's no wonder they are not popular."

Mingzhi couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the three people performing on the stage and marveled at their smooth progress and success.

Such a smooth sailing cannot be achieved simply by using connections.

"But compared to achieving success, maintaining success is more difficult. Whether they can continue to maintain it is another matter~"

"You don't think highly of them?"

"A little bit."

Mingzhi did not deny what he said. He glanced at Amamiya and said, "What about you? What do you think?"

“I want them to succeed.”

"No, I don't think it's good either."

The discussion between the two did not interfere with the performance on the stage. At this time, the five people were already standing next to the musical instruments that had been placed nearby, and the spotlights were shining on them one by one.

"Now, for the sake of the Masquerade, I give you a temporary name. Mortis!"

"I am not afraid of death."

Mortis stood beside the guitar and responded softly.

She was fearless of death. The chrysanthemum-patterned mask on her face covered almost her entire face. The few parts of her forehead that were not blocked were also blocked by her bangs, making her the person with the most covered face among the five.

"Timoris!" "I, fear no fear."

Timorous put the bass on herself, and the red spider lily pattern on her face looked so magical. She and Mortis were the only two people who covered their mouths with masks. At this time, she looked quite handsome, and the slim performance clothes showed her beautiful figure, which made many girls stunned for a while.

"Amoris!" "I, fearless love."

Amoris sat next to the drum set. She was the only performer wearing red stockings. Red stockings are difficult to control on weekdays, but her mature sexiness made people feel relaxed and not abrupt, but very sexy. The Phalaenopsis flower tattoo on her face proved her love.

"Oblivionis, I, fearless oblivion."

It was the longest name among the few people. Aubrey Vionis lifted her skirt with both hands and saluted everyone. The gladiolus on the mask also proved her obsession.

Finally, she looked at the last puppet who had just joined the group and shouted at her, "Doloris!"

"I... am not afraid of sadness."

Dolores picked up the guitar from the ground and began to speak. As her voice fell, the audience burst into cheers.

They knew that the performance was about to begin.

Amemiya also sat in his seat, listening quietly to their singing.

Ave Mujica, Solar Doll, this is the name of their song and also the name of their band.

As their signature song, it was the best choice for the beginning. Amemiya closed his eyes and listened quietly. He did not discuss it with Mingzhi beside him in a low voice, but listened to their performance in its entirety.

It's not like he had never heard this piece of music before, but he listened to it again on the spot.

"How does it feel?"

After the song ended, the five people on the stage continued their performance, and Goro Akechi beside them asked him, "How was it? How was their performance?"

"very nice."

As someone who had performed on stage in various places in his previous life, he could tell that the five people on stage performed very well. Although they were a little inexperienced and had a little trouble with the rhythm, these were minor problems. The most important thing on the scene was the atmosphere, and as long as the atmosphere was not ruined, the audience would automatically ignore the minor flaws.

"Really? No flaws?"

"As a stage performance, it was already perfect. As for the other shortcomings... they are all minor issues. The merits outweigh the flaws. It is difficult for a stage performance to be perfect. If you want to find fault, you can always find it."

Listening to Akechi's question, which seemed to be a provocation, Amamiya's answer was so calm. He didn't know what Akechi was like, so he didn't say too much.

He came to watch this performance just because it was a performance by Ave Mujica, and he also needed to understand the situation of this band well before he could decide whether he should pay too much attention to them in the future.

But for now, they don't seem to have much of a problem.

"Really? Then please look forward to it."

Mingzhi continued to watch the performance on the stage with a smile. He was not in a hurry about it.

Since Amemiya had no intention of getting involved so quickly, there was no need for him to act so eager for quick success.

At least wait until he is willing to get involved in this band's affairs before discussing other things.

He invited Amemiya to come over in the hope that Amemiya could join the band as a 'substitute', but Amemiya felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed so he did not agree directly, but he did not refuse immediately either. It was precisely because of his concerns that he planned to wait and see for a while, and Mingzhi also anticipated this, so he was not in a hurry at all.

After all, Mujica is thriving now, so why force him into it now?

In the subsequent performance, two more songs were performed in succession, namely "Black Birthday" and "Foolish God", and finally a cover song was played, and the performance was completely over.

Finally, with the five people on the stage bowing and the audience applauding and cheering, the curtain slowly fell again, cutting the stage in half.

"Thank you very much for coming to watch this performance today. I hope we can have further cooperation next time."

After the performance, outside the livehouse, Akechi Goro smiled and shook hands with Amamiya to say goodbye. It was obvious that today the two of them just got to know each other on a basic level. After all, he would be the bridge of communication between the agency and Amamiya Ren, so Amamiya's attitude towards him was also based on the positioning of a "client".

After saying goodbye to the other party, Amemiya picked up the phone and planned to call Hailing.

He wanted to give her a surprise. After all, Hai Ling didn't know he was coming to see the show today.

"Hello? Why are you calling?" 'Eh~ No celebration party? No way!'

When Hailing answered the phone, there was some noisy sound behind her. Yugong listened and it seemed to be... Miao Meng's voice?

A celebration party? Why do you want to hold a celebration party for this performance?

"I came to see the show today."

"Eh?!"

Hai Ling suddenly let out a cry and her face turned red.

If it was a weekday, it would be fine, but today's performance... to be honest, it seemed a bit childish to her.

But this performance happened to be seen by Amamiya...

She suddenly became concerned.

"What's wrong? Haizi, who are you talking to on the phone?"

And Miao Meng, who was making a lot of noise there, suddenly came over to make noise with Hai Ling. She was like a cat that saw something interesting and came over wagging her tail.

(PS: The settings are similar. P5 also has illegitimate children, P5R also has sisters, and P5R also has mental patients, but the presentation of P5 and Hen Ka is very different. Although Akechi's characterization cannot keep up with his setting, if you compare it with Hen Ka... well, they are both two pieces of shit. How can they be compared? But the characterization of the Yoshizawa sisters is not bad, so the setting is the setting, and the presentation is the presentation. The presentation of Hen Ka is really a headache, not to mention that it uses this kind of setting that is either a god or shit.)

Chapter 20: Music, it’s magical...right?

"Hey~ Why is Haizi going back with Amemiya? I'm so envious~"

Miao Meng was jumping beside Hai Ling at this time. She seemed to be expressing envy, but it always felt like she was being sarcastic. Yu Gong had no idea what she was actually thinking.

He only knew that if Miao Meng jumped any further, he might be beaten by Hai Ling.

But Hailing didn't hit her because she was used to it.

Miao Meng is a bit mean sometimes.

"What do you mean, where are you going next?"

"Hold a celebration party without Meow Mengzi."

"It was Meow Meng who kissed him! And why are you saying there was no Meow Meng who kissed him! You are bullying the team! Bullying!"

Miao Meng shook her little arms behind Hai Ling, condemning her behavior, but Hai Ling remained calm.

If you believe the lies that Miao Meng tells you, it will be bad.

"It turns out that Meow Meng is so lively around his teammates."

Amemiya couldn't help but nod his head beside him. He was a little surprised.

It is rare to see Miao Meng on weekdays. I usually only meet her when I am teaching her to play drums.

But recently he has taught her less frequently. After all, her progress is really fast. Now he only teaches her twice a month. He can be considered as a master who has just introduced her to the art, and the practice now depends on one's own efforts. Her progress is quite fast.

Well, he didn’t know how long Miao Meng played drums every day, otherwise he would definitely talk about her.

"Ah...it's normal...right?"

After hearing what Yu Gong said, Miao Meng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She seemed to know what Amemiya meant, which was simply that she was always listless when she was around Amemiya.

But can you blame her? Who likes to attend classes? Of course, I feel very depressed when I am in class.

So Miao Meng, who was just laughing, spoke strangely, but Yu Gong just looked at her twice and didn't say much.

The appearance of Yu Gong also made Miao Meng behave a little more. Noticing that Miao Meng was no longer so noisy, Hai Ling felt relieved and moved closer to Yu Gong.

Although they are now rising stars in the agency, they do not have access to special cars to pick them up, so they still have to take the tram home.

"Ah~ I'm so tired..."

After finally finding a seat on the tram, Miao Meng sat down. She leaned back in the chair and couldn't help but sigh, feeling that she was indeed too tired recently.

Whether it's going to school, practicing or even performing, and then having a TV interview, she is under a lot of pressure overall.

After all, she was a little too serious. She tried her best to do her best in facing these things, and she needed to perform perfectly.

Because she wants to be famous, she wants to do everything to perfection, which is in line with the characteristics of newcomers. Young people are the most energetic at their workstations.

Compared to Miao Meng, Hai Ling, the old hand, is accustomed to the so-called pressure. She will still touch whenever possible, but she will not show it on the stage.

“You played the drums well on stage today.”

Standing in front of Meow Meng, Amamiya commented.

There were only two empty seats on the train, so Amamiya gave his seat to the two girls. He had been sitting for a long time and needed to stand for a while to rest, as sitting for a long time was not good for the body.

If nothing else, sitting for a long time will cause hemorrhoids.

"Well, we're going to the Budokan soon, so of course we have to do well. And we have a show tomorrow, so I feel even more stressed."

Miao Mengmaomao sighed. She felt that her free time was too short during this period. Even the frequency of posting her videos had decreased.

I can't do this. If I continue like this, I'll have no way out.

Joining ave mujica is a way for her to generate heat, but she does not intend to put all her hopes on ave mujica. If there is any force majeure, she will choose to cut it off. But if there is still hope, she will try her best to save it.

However, joining the band cannot help her get more traffic now. If it fails, all her work during this period will be in vain. Therefore, she cares a lot about her beauty account. At least if the band fails, she can still go back to making videos. This is her fallback.
