Joker's Band Game Story

Chapter 31 Is this really not bullying?

After a very brief introduction, Yidizhi Hongxia finally understood what was going on.

Goto Ichiri and Toyokawa Shoko are both students at Hanaoka Girls' School and are classmates.

Although Kita is also a student of Haneki, her class is some distance away from Class B where Ichiri and Toyokawa are, so they basically never meet on weekdays.

In addition, although Fengchuan is somewhat famous in Yugaoka, she is not as famous as Ichiri, and only people in the class talk about her.

After all, between a classmate who looks like a young lady and a classmate who looks like a floating organism, the latter is more concerning~

What spread out was more of a bad reputation, because her fashion sense was quite bad. She wore a pink sportswear over her school uniform, which looked ugly no matter how you looked at it. She was too distinctive.

Ichiri was embarrassed because he didn't expect that Toyokawa Shoko, who was called the "young lady" in the class, would be working hard here in a maid outfit at this time. This was also where Shoko felt embarrassed.

She was very reluctant to let acquaintances notice that she was working here, so she would wear a mask during business hours on weekdays. Only when there were no customers would she take off the mask and work seriously - the mask was not only uncomfortable to wear for a long time, but also had a considerable impact on her vision, making it inconvenient to work.

The silver lining in this misfortune is... she remembered that Yili was not a gossipy person, so he probably wouldn't tell anyone about her situation, right?

"Okay, okay, let me introduce each other. Xiangzi is our waiter here, and Kita is the lead singer of our band. This is the bassist Yamada Ryo."

Hongxia noticed the awkwardness between the two and immediately changed the subject. She patted Liang's shoulder and introduced her identity to Yili.

Liang was looking at Yili, with no expression on her face. This expressionless look made Yili, who was already like a frightened bird, extremely scared.

She was so scared that she bowed 90 degrees to Ryougi: "I... I'm Goto Ichiri, I'm so sorry."

Suddenly I started apologizing~

Amamiya Ren watched this scene with amusement. He glanced at Toyokawa Shoko, who quietly went to the corner to start working while everyone's attention was diverted, and then continued to watch the band's first gathering.

Hongxia and Kita were comforting Kita: "Don't worry, Liang just doesn't have many expressions. She will be very happy if you say she is a weirdo."

"I won't be happy~"

Liang refuted here with a happy look on his face, but her rebuttal made everyone confirm that she was indeed happy.

After introducing these people, Hongxia continued to introduce Amamiya Ren to Yili: "This is Amamiya Renren~ He is a very talented person. One of the songs we are going to sing this time was written by him~"

Sri Lanka

Amamiya Ren received a fangirl look, so he just greeted Ichiri and looked at her with a gentle expression.

Ah~ So gentle, so dazzling, like the sun~

One mile turned to ashes.

"Ah! Ichiri-kun!"

After noticing that Goto Ichiri had turned into ash by the sunlight, Hong Xia quickly squatted down and held the strange creature that looked like ashes with both hands: "We still have to rehearse later, don't fall down!"

"Some of them are too dazzling..."

These are Yili's last words.

Seeing the excitement at the end of the band, Amamiya Ren glanced at Toyokawa Shoko who didn't dare to come over to do the floor work, and then she comforted her: "While Sister Xingge is not here, you should go to the back to practice. Hongxia, she is very angry that you haven't come back for such a long time~"

"Oh! This is terrible! Come on, Ryo, help me carry Ichiri into the practice room!"

"I, I'll help too!"

"Ah, it really turned to ashes~"

"Ryo, please don't blow Ichiri away!"

When the band was finishing their fun there, there was new noise outside the door.

Yu Gonglian's cell phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was Li Yaoling who came.

Then go out and take a look.

Before Amamiya Lian reached the door, it was opened. This time it was Xingge who entered the room, and behind her was Li Yaoling.

Why does this scene feel a little familiar? It would be even more similar if Li Yaoling's hair was dyed pink.

"Ah, so this is the livehouse~"

Li Yaoling was sighing here in her unprofessional Japanese. She just lacked opportunities to speak now. If she could speak well in the first half of the year, there would be no problem.

As soon as Li Yaoling opened her mouth, it was clear that she was not a native Japanese. After all, Japanese people may be taciturn, but they would not speak so haltingly.

Well, Xingge hadn’t seen Goto Ichiri yet, so she naturally just thought that Li Yaoling was not Japanese. When she was at the door, she met Li Yaoling who was waiting at the door. After a brief chat, she found out that she was an international student.

"I didn't expect that you would actually meet her, Sister Xingge. She is my neighbor, Li Yaoling, who just came to Japan these few days. This is the store manager of Fanxing, Ichichi Xingge."

"Thank you very much."

Li Yaoling used honorifics awkwardly, but Xingge waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, no need to be so serious."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Amamiya Ren: "I don't care, don't let her mess around."

"Of course no problem~ By the way, Hong Xia is back~ She found a guitarist."

"Really? That's lucky. At least there won't be any problems with the performance later."

Xingge said casually. When she heard the guitarist coming, she didn't say anything on the surface, but it could be seen that she relaxed.

But isn't it a little too early to relax now?

"Brother Lian! Help me!"

Amamiya Ren, who was chatting with Li Yaoling about some rules of the livehouse, suddenly heard Kita's voice. He looked over and found Kita leaning against the door frame asking Amamiya Ren for help.

What happened again?

Yu Gong Lian thought about it and decided to let Li Yaoling go with her to check out the situation.

What Li Yaoling needs now is to listen and watch more. There is definitely no harm in following. Of course, if she wants, it is also okay to sit here.

Fortunately, Li Yaoling is an outgoing person, and she is willing to follow Yu Gong to see what is going on.

After all, she had never been in a band, and she had always been curious about what it was like to be in a band.

"This is……"

“What a novel way to play.”

Under the helpless gaze of Amamiya Ren and the surprised gaze of Li Yaoling, the two saw Hongxia trying to coax Goto Ichiri out.

At this time, Yili crawled into a trash can, which was just big enough for her to fit inside.

“Is this what they call Japanese bullying?”

"Of course not! Bullying still exists but it's not that serious anymore!"

Yu Gong Lian reached out and cut Li Yaoling's head to tell her not to think too much, but there was nothing she could do. The two girls looked at a girl shivering in the trash can and thought it looked like bullying.

"So what's going on now?"

Amemiya Ren turned his attention back to Goto Ichiri. He now wanted to know what problems this group of people had that needed to be solved.

There is no doubt that the problem lies with this classmate Goto. He feels that he may have to understand what kind of child Goto is through Shoko.

Is she a little too introverted?

"Ah, actually it's like this. I feel I don't dare to face the audience. Brother Lian, do you have any ideas?"

Hongxia turned around and asked Amamiya Ren. She wanted to know if Amamiya Ren had any way to encourage Goto Ichiri to be brave.

At this time, Liang took out a paper box from somewhere and said, "If you can't do anything else, just get in here and play."

This paper box...if Amamiya Ren is not mistaken, it should be the box used to pack mangoes, right?

Fanxing has obtained a catering license, so naturally it has to have goods to sell, and the drinks it sells are not the crude kind that just pours a bucket of Coke into a cup for the audience, but real juice. The mangoes are the raw materials for making mango juice.

"Hmm... I think we can give it a try."

Amemiya Ren looked at Ichiri's timid appearance and felt that words of encouragement might not be more reliable than this cardboard box.

“So it’s really not bullying?”

"Of course not!"

After some processing, Yili was able to successfully move from the trash can to the cardboard box. She even commented: "It's... exactly the same environment as when I usually play the guitar!"

"That's it. Why do I feel like she is indeed suitable to be bullied?"

Amamiya Ren slapped his head, not knowing what to say.

Is this kid really okay? Where does he usually practice guitar?

He felt that Hong Xia seemed to have found a very remarkable student...

"Everyone! Let's get the place going!"

Seeing the box twisting and turning, Amamiya Ren seemed to understand something: "So it's just that it's afraid of communicating with people?"

In the box, I can say things that I dare not say normally, so if I put it this way, then it should be...

"Guarding the cage?"

Li Yaoling felt that this pink-haired cat was more like a puppy. It was very timid outside the cage, but became braver when it returned to the cage and could even say such rock and roll words.

"Don't treat others like dogs..."

For a moment, Hong Xia didn't have the energy to complain. Liang had already made her unable to rant, and now there was Li Yaoling and Brother Lian who wanted to watch the fun even more. She felt that she was completely exhausted.

"Then it seems that the problem has been basically solved. We will not continue to disturb you from cultivating the band relationship here."

After Amemiya Lian finished speaking, he pushed Li Yaoling away. He felt that since she was introverted, the more people there were in the room, the more nervous she would be. It would be better for her to stay out first and communicate more with her after they got more familiar with each other.

"Why do I feel like everyone seems a little weird?"

"Weird? You mean abnormal?"

"A little bit, hehe..."

"Well~ After all, it's normal for there to be few normal people playing music."

How many art students are normal? The majority are abnormal.

"But I think you are quite normal, Xiaolian~"

Li Yaoling laughed, she was actually quite happy.

She was actually a little nervous coming to a strange place like a livehouse, but for some reason, she felt at ease next to Amamiya Ren.

That's great~

"I remember you had a nice voice, didn't you?"

At this time, Yu Gong Lian suddenly remembered something and suddenly asked Li Yaoling.

"Yes...what's wrong?"

"How about we go to a performance together next time?"

"Eh?! Why!"

"Don't you want to exercise yourself? Singing is a very suitable way to vent your emotions. What if you can find a band that suits you?"

“Is it the right band for me?”

Li Yaoling didn't expect Yu Gong to suddenly mention this. She clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Lian, do you want to form a band with me?"

"Ah, that's not the case." "Eh~"

Seeing Amamiya Lian stretching out her hand and making a gesture of denial, Li Yaoling couldn't help but make an "eh" sound. She didn't expect Amamiya Lian to say such a thing.

On the other hand, Miss Saeko, who seemed to have woken up, yawned and explained the situation to Ren Amamiya: "If Ren wanted to form a band, he would have done it a long time ago. It would be strange if he couldn't find a band with his skills."

"Really? Xiaolian, are you very good?"

Li Yaoling asked Amamiya Lian in confusion, and Amamiya had nothing to hide, so she nodded and admitted it.

I can't say I'm the best in Japan, but I can definitely say I'm a professional.

While they were chatting, Xiangzi also sat at the ticket window to sell tickets. Amamiya Ren gave Xiangzi two sums of money to buy two tickets. In addition to the tickets, there were also two small tags.

"this is?"

"As for the drink money, Fanxing is considered a restaurant, so the ticket price is cheaper because it also includes the drink money for the bundled purchase."

Tickets at RiNG cost about 3,000 yen, but at Fanxing they only cost 1,500 yen. Of course, if you add the drinks included, you actually have to spend 2,000 yen to watch the show at Fanxing.
