After we broke up, my ex asked me to attack her

Chapter 321: Embarking on a New Path
Kagura Hikaru already knew that Mr. Sagami was not lying.

He can tell lies from truth through a sense close to smell, and he doesn't smell anything wrong on Mr. Sagami, he is a sincere person.

But just in case, and to reassure Aicheng Hualian and others, he still called the music company using the number on the business card and confirmed the scout's identity.

The receptionist who answered the phone told him Mr. Sagami's full name and his position.

It’s no wonder that Kagura Hikaru is cautious. Modern people all understand that they should be cautious when signing contracts. If something goes wrong, the power of the law will be on the side of the bad guys, which is something that needs to be avoided.

At least now, in Kagura Hikaru's eyes, this scout is still trustworthy. He has never lied since they met.

"Kagura-kun?"

Perhaps because he took too long to think, Mr. Sagami gave Kagura Hikaru a puzzled look.

".Sorry, I was distracted."

"It's okay, it's okay." Mr. Sagami smiled graciously. "Please forgive my impatience. Last time I specifically asked everyone in the Red Hot Chili Peppers to invite you, Kagura-kun. Can you tell me your answer?"

"Isn't there a meeting with the Red Hot Chili Peppers today?" Kagura Hikaru looked back at Aijo Karen and the others.

Aijo Karen shook her head and said, "It's okay, Kagura, you go talk first."

"Well, we're not in a hurry." Lu Qi Masumi said with a smile.

"I'm also curious about what you will choose, Mr. Kagura." Nishijo Maya looked curious, with one hand on his waist.

Hoshimi Nana blinked mischievously: "Does this mean that Kagura-sensei is going to form a band with us? Then we have to wear women's clothes~"

"That's not right, everyone." Mr. Sagami explained with a smile, "I want Kagura-kun to join another professional band. Their guitarist just recently announced that he would go solo. If Kagura-kun is willing, he can just fill in the position."

"The professional band whose guitarist just went solo. Are you talking about the 'Firefly Band'?" Hoshimi Nana asked in surprise.

After getting Mr. Sagami's affirmative nod, she opened her mouth wide and said excitedly to Kagura Hikaru: "Teacher Kagura, please agree to it! This is a super super super good opportunity!!"

"Is that band very famous?" Kagura Hikaru expressed confusion.

"Eh? Teacher Kagura, are you really from Japan?!"

"."

Aijo Karen came back to her senses from her trance and explained softly, "The Firefly Band is a band that debuted five years ago. The first song they released was a hit, and now the number of views on YouTube should have exceeded 100 million. They are the most famous band of the younger generation and are also well-known overseas. Kagura, if you're looking for a band to join, they're the best choice."

"Yes, now the Firefly Band is our company's trump card and golden business card."

Mr. Sagami rubbed his beer belly in a simple manner, "The departure of the guitarist in the team was very hurtful to them, and to us as well, so when I saw Kagura-kun's performance, I immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. Kagura-kun has the looks, the skills, and he's still young, so he's really the perfect fit."

Kagura could feel that the members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers band behind her were looking at her with envy.

Being able to join the top band in the island country as soon as debuting does seem to be an enviable thing. It represents countless money and fame. As long as Kagura nods and works honestly for two or three years, he will probably never have to worry about food and clothing in his life.

But here's the problem.

Kagura Hikaru doesn't want money or fame. All he sees is the most fundamental issue - that is, whether to enter the music industry and whether to cooperate with others.

Given his situation, he had certainly imagined many futures.

Kagura Hikaru can be a capitalist, musician, novelist, cartoonist, scientist. Except for professions such as politicians that rely solely on technology to succeed, he can be competent in all of them and achieve amazing results in a very short period of time.

This is the confidence that the golden finger brings him, and his professional knowledge is very comprehensive.

But when there are too many choices, a kind of luxurious trouble will arise. Kagura Hikaru doesn't know which path is the most correct because they all seem to be the most correct.

It all ultimately comes down to his personal preferences. In short, he will do what kind of job he likes in the future.

As long as he doesn't get too cocky and tries things that don't involve technical skills, he can definitely do it. So what about being a guitarist?
Now, this is the path before Kagura Hikaru, and the music company represented by Mr. Sagami has extended a tempting hand to him.

Kagura Hikaru looked at Mr. Sagami's face and imagined himself singing and dancing on the stage with a group of strangers, with tens of thousands of people cheering below. Well, this style of painting was not suitable for him.

He likes quiet.

So, after thinking for five seconds, he gave his answer: "Sorry."

Mr. Sagami's eyes widened slightly as if he had been lightly punched. Then he showed a helpless smile and stretched out his right hand to Kagura Hikaru: "Well, even if we can't work together, we can still maintain our friendship, right?"

Kagura Hikaru shook his hand back: "Yes, but you are wrong, it's not that we can't cooperate."

"Oh? What's the explanation?"

“I prefer working behind the scenes rather than standing in front of the stage.”

"Behind-the-scenes work related to music, composing music?"

"The song you saw me and the Red Hot Chili Peppers playing last time, Red and Blue, was written by us together."

"Hmm interesting, we can talk more about this later."

Mr. Sagami showed a slightly interested expression.

Composers, for a music company, there is no such thing as too many. As long as they can create a hit song, they can bring the company tens of thousands of times more income than the cost of hiring them.

He didn't believe that Kagura Hikaru's composing skills were as good as his guitar skills, but it was okay to give him a chance. If Kagura Hikaru was eliminated because of his poor performance, he could try to recruit him into the band, and the success rate might increase.

Kagura Mitsuru could see that Mr. Sagami was thinking about something, but he didn't care. As long as she showed her composing skills, he would naturally take the bait.

Yes, he was going to work.

Performing on stage at a livehouse can only be considered a part-time job. It is an important stepping stone for underground musicians who dream of becoming a professional musician. But for Kagura Hikaru, it is just a stage that makes her less bored and a form of after-school entertainment.

Frankly speaking, he has performed on stage so many times, but he has never once thought of treating this as a job.

But this time, Kagura Hikaru changed her mind.

In junior high school, he was controlled by Kohinata Suyo. In high school, he was controlled by Kiri Yukina. Recently, he was almost raised as a canary by Ayanokouji Chiyo.

Now that all interpersonal relationships have been filtered out, Kagura Hikaru finds that she has gained the long-lost "freedom".

No one will stop him, no one will make demands on him, and he doesn't owe anyone anything.

Now, Kagura Hikaru is a true free agent.

The last time he experienced this feeling was when he had just entered Bunkyo Junior High School. During that time, he only knew Kiri Hirina, who had a golden finger and seemed to have an infinitely bright future.

But I didn’t expect that once I stepped in, I wouldn’t be liberated until now.

Kagura Hikaru found out that he was wrong. He was not interested in the scout's invitation because of the so-called "vitality bursting out after surviving a disaster", but was trying to leave the established track, take a new step and try a new life.

Composer, this future is not bad.

He turned around and glanced at Aicheng Hualian, and she was looking back at him with a worried and expectant look.

Kagura Light nodded slightly.

If the Red Hot Chili Peppers were going to sign that contract, they might just end up being colleagues.
