Joker's Band Game Story

Amemiya had no idea what the girl next to him had thought of. He didn't even know what he had become in her mind.

"It's okay. I don't care anymore."

He really didn't care anymore, or rather, he couldn't care anymore.

The two continued to lie here, not saying a word, just lying quietly together. Amemiya looked at the ceiling, waiting for Shuangshi to continue speaking.

It was like this the whole day today. Shuangshi kept talking about all sorts of things, and he was just a quiet listener, listening to her talk about some things in the past.

People always need a way to vent, and Shuangshi has always needed a best friend to listen to the bitterness in her heart and give appropriate feedback.

Mu can't do it. She is not good at giving feedback and she doesn't like to talk. So the only difference between talking to her and talking to a trash can is that the other person is a living person.

The same goes for other classmates because they are not familiar with each other. Shuangshi's relationship with others has always been at a state of friendship as light as water. She has always been accommodating others instead of satisfying her own inner needs. Naturally, it is difficult for her to open up to others.

Amemiya was the only exception. When he saw himself at his most vulnerable, he comforted himself and stayed by his side. He was always gentle to other people, and sometimes his coldness was a different kind of gentleness.

He always offers help to others when they need it, so when he saw Shuangshi in need of help, he showed up.

Taking advantage of the situation, he successfully transformed Shuangshi's disgust for him into love. In an instant, the distance between Shuangshi and him became very close. She found out that she had misunderstood Amemiya and also discovered Amemiya's truest side.

She has been working hard to get feedback from others. She has always wanted a haven where she can rest in peace. Obviously, she has found it now.

"I can't stay with you tomorrow."

The harbor is gone.

"do not want!"

Shuangshi suddenly yelled, and she hugged Yugong Lian's arm tightly: "Why, where are you going?"

"Listen to me first."

Amamiya Ren didn't expect that Shuangshi would react so strongly. He touched her head helplessly with his other hand and said, "Tomorrow is the school festival. I have to go there to participate in the show. You should come with me tomorrow."

So it wasn't because of the school festival that he left?

Amemiya's words made Shuangshi relax. She leaned close to Amemiya Ren and agreed to go to the school festival together.

She has never been to a high school festival.

"Is this Shujin Academy?"

Standing behind Amamiya Ren, Shuangshi, who was wearing casual clothes, was very curious about Shujin Academy. She had indeed never been to other academies.

In fact, if Shuangshi had not gone to Tsukinomori, she might have chosen Shujin if she had to choose a school nearby. After all, Shujin is in Aoyama 1-chome, and Nagasaki House is in Roppongi Station, one stop south of Aoyama 1-chome.

So when faced with this high school that made her curious, her eyes were filled with great curiosity.

Many schools have junior high school and high school departments, but Shujin is an exception. It only has a high school department and no junior high school department, which is a very rare school.

"It's very close to your house."

"Yes, but I've never been here once."

This was also the first time that Shuangshi came here. Compared with Tsuki no Mori, Shujin did look a lot simpler, but this was the academy that ordinary people would attend.

Tsuki no Mori was still too gorgeous, at least for Shuangshi. She had a very hard time when she first entered Tsuki no Mori. Others were trained from childhood, but she, a child born in an ordinary family, did spend a lot of energy to learn etiquette when she entered Tsuki no Mori. But it was all just because her mother said, "I want to see you wearing Tsuki no Mori's school uniform, it must be very cute."

She is such a girl, a girl who always tries hard to respond to other people's expectations. Perhaps only in this way can she get the affirmation of others and be satisfied.

"Let's go in and take a look. I didn't come to school yesterday, so I don't know what they have done to the class."

Yesterday, the whole class must have been busy making the classroom look suitable for the school festival, but Amamiya Ren was held by Soushi and couldn't leave her. Compared to Soushi yesterday, she was much more rational today and had recovered. She would not hold Amamiya tightly.

Maybe after today, she will be completely reassuring tomorrow...right?

Yu Gong Lian was a little worried in her heart.

Chapter 80: Big Hands, Rough Calluses

"Amemiya! You're finally back!"

As soon as Amamiya Ren walked into the classroom, a boy came over and hugged him, pointing at the surroundings: "Do you know how difficult it was to clean the classroom without you yesterday?"

"Ha, sorry, sorry, I did have some business yesterday so I had to take a day off."

The boy's words were not an accusation or a complaint, they were just a joke between boys.

"Have a drink, please."

"Hey~ Drinks are not necessary... Hey! You brought a friend over? I knock, girlfriend?"

A group of people surrounded Amemiya, and when they turned around, they saw Shuangshi standing at the door. Looking at her in a simple mesh skirt, the group of people started to make fun of her again.

They only dared to make such jokes when Takamaki An was not around. After all, everyone in the class knew that Takamaki An was interested in Amamiya Ren.

"Friend, friend. Don't think too much. How is the classroom preparation going?"

"It's okay. We have prepared a variety of snacks here. Would you like some? It's at cost price."

Each class has to hold activities for this school festival, and they also want to earn some class fees, so since Amemiya is a classmate, they will only charge the cost.

The enthusiasm of her classmates also made Amamiya Lian wave her hands: "No need, no need, I just came to see how you are doing. I have already eaten this morning. I still have to go to the practice room, you guys go about your business."

"Don't worry, I will definitely go to support you when the time comes."

"well."

After getting away from this group of enthusiastic classmates, Amamiya Ren returned to Shuangshi.

Shuangshi couldn't help feeling a little envious when he saw him and other classmates living in harmony (it had nothing to do with Xiaomu).

She had a good relationship with her classmates, but she felt that her relationship with those friends was not as close as that between Amemiya and his classmates.

She always has to consider what her classmates think and is always cautious when speaking, unlike Amamiya Ren who is so casual. It seems that everyone actively surrounds her, rather than him surrounding everyone.

This is completely different from myself. It seems that Amemiya has a magical power that can attract other people's attention.

Is this kind of ability called... self-confidence?

Following behind Amemiya, Shuangshi rubbed her fingers subconsciously. She was too embarrassed to say anything to Amemiya, so she could only lower her head silently and walk behind him.

"Is there anything you want to eat?"

"Hmm...there's nothing I want to eat."

Amamiya Ren and Nagasaki Sose arrived just as the campus festival had already begun. The students had already set up their stalls and were looking at the interesting shops around them. Not to mention Sose, Amamiya Ren kept looking around, wondering whether he wanted to eat something.

But he still didn't order anything because he had to rehearse soon. Eating too full would affect his rehearsal state. His current state is pretty good.

"what!"

"Be careful."

The flow of visitors to Xiujin's campus festival was not small. Shuangshi was accidentally bumped into by others. Yu Gonglian Lian immediately suspected that it was IX⑻ Ling Meng+ and grabbed her hand to prevent her from being knocked to the ground.

The man who knocked Shuangshi down didn't seem to notice this. He continued walking forward and soon disappeared in the crowd.

"Be careful, there are so many people."

Amamiya Ren held Shuangshi's hand and walked slowly among the crowd.

Shuangshi felt a little embarrassed to be held hand by Amamiya Ren like this, but the scene just now made her unwilling to let go of this hand.

Amemiya's hands are big and warm.

There were fine calluses on his hands, which were very rough, but they felt good and made people feel at ease.

It was just like her father's hand holding hers when she was a child.

Shuangshi missed his father a little.

My father’s hands are also big and warm, with calluses on his palms.

Although she lived in a small house at that time, she was the happiest at that time.

But... I still changed my name from Ichinose to Nagasaki.

After moving to Roppongi, she gained a lot of material satisfaction, but she felt more empty spiritually.

She could no longer see her father, and her mother often went out to work, so they could only meet a few times a month. As an ordinary person, she had to live her life wearing a mask when she entered Tsuki no Mori Academy. The humbleness of a commoner in her heart forced her to keep her tail between her legs and get along with those real young ladies, eager to satisfy her inner emptiness by taking care of others.

Her premature maturity has made her what she is now. She has always been taking care of and caring for others, but... who can take care of and be considerate to her?

That’s why I can’t forget crychic…that was the warmest time, just like I can’t forget that cozy little home when I was in elementary school.

She held Amamiya Ren's hand tightly, and she was reluctant to let go.

It is inevitable that a girl who loves the world but longs to be loved will be attracted to a man who also loves the world.

"This one is quite cute...would you like to buy one?"

Amemiya Ren stood at the door of a doll shop. He didn't know how this class managed to sell so many types of dolls. Didn't they consider the cost of the dolls?

What? There are classmates whose family owns a doll shop? That's not strange, not strange.

So now he was standing in front of a doll stall, looking at these dolls that could just be used as pillows. He asked Shuangshi beside him if he wanted to pick one.

There are quite a lot of dolls. Do you want to take a few home? That way they will be suitable for other girls as gifts?

But aren’t there too many girls around me?

There was nothing Amemiya Ren could do about this. He was a time traveler, not a native. So in a world where men played cards and women played in bands, how could a non-card-playing musician like him fit into the card-playing circle? If these two circles did not have such strict gender restrictions, he might have been isolated and bullied.

So it's normal that there are more girls, right? After all, there are indeed more girls in the music field.

"Well...I can."

Looking at these lovely dolls, it is impossible for Shuangshi not to be moved.

Girls do like this kind of cute furry doll, or rather... boys like it too.

"Which one do you like?"

“This one is good.”

Shuangshi picked up a little dinosaur, which looked cute and fierce. She tapped the dinosaur's little head and secretly glanced at Yumiya Lian.

"Is there a style you'd like?"

"That's what I want...do you have any recommendations?"

It seemed that Shuangshi's state had become more cheerful than before, and Amamiya Ren did not choose one by himself. Although he was an adult with a relatively young mental age, it was indeed difficult for humans to escape the desire to rub cute creatures when looking at them, so he was a little confused about which one to choose.

"What about this?"

Shuangshi picked a lamb for Amamiya Lian, which looked pretty cute.

So the two of them, each carrying a small bag, left the classroom hand in hand and went to other classrooms to pick more things.

These two dolls were all paid for by Shuangshi. Although Amamiya said they would split the bill, Shuangshi said that Amamiya had been taking care of him these past two days, so he spent some money to buy a doll for Amamiya as a thank you gift, so Amamiya had no choice but to accept it.

As for holding hands... this time it was Shuangshi who took the initiative to hold the hand, and Amamiya did not refuse, and continued to walk around with her.

When it was almost eleven o'clock, Amamiya Ren picked up her phone and looked at the message in the group: "I have to prepare for the rehearsal, do you want to continue walking around?"

"Can't I go with you?"

"It's not impossible, but rehearsals might be boring."

Amamiya Ren reminded Shuangshi that if he was rehearsing, he might not have time to take care of her.

As a man, it was the first time for him to talk to a girl as if he was coaxing a child. Although he knew that Shuangshi's heart had not recovered yet and was relatively fragile, he did make people feel like a child and was a little too clingy.

He doesn't hate this, but that doesn't mean he likes it either. He prefers an indifferent attitude.

"It's okay, I can watch from the side."

The performance was in the afternoon, and because we had rehearsed it many times before, the next rehearsal was actually more of a dress rehearsal.

Some of Amemiya's friends also said they would come to support in the afternoon. Since it's Saturday, many children want to sleep in, and it's difficult to get them up in the morning.

After the band finished, several people said they would come to visit together in the afternoon, including Nina. After a brief chat with her before, Amemiya also invited her, hoping that she could come and take a look.

However, the probability of her coming is still quite high. After all, Amamiya Ren has told her that Momoka will be on stage. As a fan of Momoka, she will most likely come to support her.

Not to mention Taoxiang's return. Apart from anything else, she still has to go on stage. Even though Diamond Stardust couldn't perform as promised, she at least had to come and sing a song.

There is also Hai Ling, who also expressed that she would come to visit, and Mu, who is also a member of the band, will also come to see.

Oh yeah, and Aine, she also said she would come and see.

So Amamiya Ren thought that if Shuangshi wanted to watch it, he could watch it directly on site instead of going to watch the rehearsal. The rehearsal might not be interesting, so it would be better to just walk around the school.
