After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back Chapter 293 292 Guitar Hero

"Do you think they have the potential to go pro?!"

Kagura Hikaru exclaid in surprise, "That's really...a high complint."

"It's just a possibility." The fat man spread his hands, "Of course, that's provided they can take off that heavy makeup."

Kagura Hikaru and the fat man laughed at the sa ti.

Indeed, that exaggerated makeup didn't seem at all like sothing one would see on television.

But since this self-proclaid talent scout was not attracted by their makeup, and instead saw it as a drawback, it ant that the Red Pepper Band's performance really had sothing that a professional talent scout would appreciate.

To be honest, Kagura Hikaru wasn't very clear about it himself, at least the amnesiac him didn't possess such a discerning appreciation.

He could feel that Ai Cheng Hua Lian and their band were strong, but he didn't know just how strong.

So all he could do was to give an assessnt based on his feelings, "If they released an album, I probably would buy it."

"Thank you, I'll take your opinion into consideration." The fat talent scout shook hands with Kagura Hikaru, smiled, turned around, and was about to leave.

But at this mont, sothing seed to go wrong on stage, making both him and Kagura Hikaru lift their heads to look.

The Red Pepper Band continued to play, but Hoshimi Nana, the lead guitarist, increasingly couldn't keep up with the rhythm after a pause, her strumming significantly slowing down.

The fat talent scout shook his head, "This is a serious mistake, she's ruined the song."

"Wait, sothing seems off about her condition." Kagura Hikaru said, frowning as he looked at the stage, "She's sweating a lot."

The fat talent scout observed carefully and indeed noticed so clues, "....You're right, she's unlucky."

The other mbers of the Red Pepper Band, of course, noticed this too, and even earlier than the audience below.

When the song reached an artificial ending in the middle, they hurriedly finished and helped Hoshimi Nana off the stage.

The audience below was buzzing with speculation, as the staff ca on stage to announce that the performance would continue in five minutes.

Kagura Hikaru didn't wait around, instead, he turned and entered the backstage rest area.

Upon entering, he saw Ai Cheng Hua Lian and the others all surrounding Hoshimi Nana.

"Nana?"

"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

"You were fine just a mont ago...."

The mbers of Ai Cheng Hua Lian asked with concern.

Hoshimi Nana was squatting on the ground holding her stomach, taking sharp breaths as if she was enduring pain, her face stiff as she looked up and told her teammates, "Sorry, it's my ti of the month...."

"Why didn't you say anything!"

"I didn't want to hold everyone back, this was a hard-to-co-by long performance invitation, and there was no way I was going to ss it up," Hoshimi Nana strained to get up, knees wobbling, "I'm fine, I can still do this....uh...."

"Don't overdo it." Ai Cheng Hua Lian comforted her by patting her back, then hesitantly looked at the others, "What do we do? We have one more song, but I haven't practiced Nana's part."

"Without the lead guitar, it can't really be considered a song," the bassist of the Red Pepper Band said rationally, "We have to give up. I'll go talk to the manager."

"Wait a minute!" Hoshimi Nana quickly grabbed the hem of her pants, "We only have one last song left, and it's our original composition, let play it!"

At that mont, she saw Kagura Hikaru standing behind them, her eyes lighting up as if she had seen a lifesaver, "Kagura! Right, we still have Mr. Kagura! If it's him—"

"What are you babbling about, Nana, Mr. Kagura's got amnesia now!" Ruzaki Mami said with a despondent face.

"This last song was written together with Mr. Kagura, he must still rember!"

"Even so, it's impossible," the bassist shook her head, comforting her, "Don't worry too much about it, Nana, missing one song isn't a big deal, this live performance is already quite good."

Hoshimi Nana turned pale, bowed her head, and remained silent.

Kagura Hikaru hesitated as he watched them, unsure if he should interject.

He had no idea what songs he had supervised in the past; it was obviously a part of his lost mory.

Unable to even rember songs, let alone take soone else's place on stage.

Just as he was about to speak words of comfort,

at that mont, Ai Cheng Hua Lian looked at him and suddenly started to sing in the break room.

"I've co here to tell you the legend of Red and Blue—traveling back in ti, three thousand years ago, there were two girls, both maidens and warriors, who swore to the king to slay the Evil Dragon and restore peace. Amid blessings and cheers, they embarked on the road to death—Red returned unhard, while Blue lay shattered; they climbed the mountain to slay the dragon at the cost of their lives—"

It was a punk rock song with heavy lyrics but an upbeat tune, telling a complete story.

In the process of slaying the dragon, the girl in Blue sacrificed herself, and the girl in Red, cursed to beco the Evil Dragon, killed the king and took the throne using the kingdom's treasure to resurrect her comrade.

For so reason, halfway through listening, Kagura Hikaru already knew the rest of the story, which appeared in his mind like a familiar tune.

His gaze was vacant, as he unconsciously started to sing along in a low voice.

"The kingdom lay in ruins, bodies strewn everywhere. Atop the rubble, the girl in Blue was reborn, donned a cape, grasped a sword, and set off on the road to death to kill her dear friend—The light of magic faded from her, as she willingly gave up her life, cutting off her own path—"

The girl in Blue couldn't accept the kingdom's desolation because of herself, so she killed her friend turned Evil Dragon. Before the curse spread to her, she gave up her life. The two maidens embraced in mutual demise upon the throne, and magic turned them into statues forever side by side—a bittersweet dark fairy tale.

As Kagura Hikaru sang on, just as she had hoped, Ai Cheng Hua Lian's eyes lit up, excitedly she said, "Kagura, you rember this song!?"

She only wanted to see if the song could stimulate Kagura Hikaru's mory, not expecting him to really sing it.

"Just a gut feeling," Kagura Hikaru said with an embarrassed expression, "Honestly, I don't even know what I'm singing."

"That's enough," Ai Cheng Hua Lian turned her head to Hoshimi Nana, "Nana, is that okay?"

"Hmm, thank you, Karen," Hoshimi Nana said, rising to her feet with help from the bassist and Ruzaki Mami, taking her guitar off and handing it to Kagura Hikaru, "Give it a try."

Kagura Hikaru hesitated as he looked at Ai Cheng Hua Lian; after receiving a nod from her, he took the guitar, slung the strap over his shoulder; Ai Cheng Hua Lian handed him her pick.

Kagura Hikaru took a deep breath and strumd the strings.

The sound of standard tuning seed to awaken a lody in the deepest recesses of his mind that naturally began to play.

But it wasn't in his head—it was coming from his own hands.

To his surprise, he found himself able to play the guitar, and quite proficiently at that.

He was playing the first original piece by Red Pepper Band, the sa song that Ai Cheng Hua Lian had just sung.

"Red and Blue," a title pulsed in Kagura Hikaru's mind.

This ti, the headache didn't seem to flare up.

Why?

Everyone from the Red Pepper Band watched him in amazent.

"Mr. Kagura, has your mory returned?!" Luoqi Zhencheng said in shock.

"Not yet, but it appears unrelated to my muscle mory," Kagura Hikaru said trying a fast run on the guitar, with no issues.

Just like he could naturally grasp video gas without being taught, the sa happened with guitar playing; he beca proficient imdiately despite having no relevant knowledge or learning mories after the amnesia.

It seed that these were the 'legacy' his past self had left behind.

Kagura Hikaru looked at the black Ibanez electric guitar in his hands, then raised his head to Hoshimi Nana, "Is this really okay?"

"Yes...!"

Hoshimi Nana had sweat on her face, nodded, and managed a difficult smile, "The last song, I'll leave it to you, Mr. Kagura."
