I became a girl group idol for my sister.

I just wanted to go out for a meal together!

It's just that today is the 14th or something, so I thought we could go out for a meal together, but I can't bring myself to say it!

I'd definitely be seen as a pervert, especially one who abuses workplace power, like a senior bullying a junior...

No, looking into those eyes makes me feel like I have to say something. I need to think about what I can say to help Nana. I need to think...

Just as Sakagami Minami was lost in thought, the waiter brought their lunch.

A simple vegetable salad with some meat and eggs, plus some bread for carbohydrates.

Perhaps because Miyamoto and Sakagami had disguised themselves, the waiter was unable to recognize them and simply served the food in a friendly manner before leaving.

Chapter Twelve: The Aftermath of Valentine's Day

"Because after forming a Unit, the number of members decreases, so each person has to be responsible for more things. In this respect, having more people also has its advantages."

Sakagami Minami also got into the swing of things and started talking to Miyamoto Sei about some of her personal experiences.

"But correspondingly, everyone will have more opportunities to showcase themselves. I heard that Teacher Tianbei has prepared a center song for each of you three. Although the other two are C/W songs, they are still great for increasing your popularity."

"Yes, this is a rare opportunity, and everyone wants to give it their all and show their best to the fans!" Miyamoto nodded slightly, excitedly talking to Sakagami Minami. The fact that the other party was willing to pass on his experience to him made Miyamoto very happy.

"Generally speaking, after receiving the demo, you should listen to it repeatedly and then start practicing your singing part as soon as possible. After successfully finishing the recording, you can start practicing the dance. However, you have already experienced recording a single once, so you have some experience in this area."

"After the PV shooting is finished, the rest is the promotion work, such as giving interviews to magazines and TV. However, in this respect, your last single didn't have much promotion, so you need to pay attention to that this time."

"Understood, Senior Nan, I will remember it carefully!"

"However, this time you're releasing it based on a new anime series, so you probably won't release a single right away. A new anime series is a form of promotion in a way, but it's probably a bit different from what we used to do. If I had to say, it might be similar to the 'Handsome Idol' series that I participated in filming back then."

Listening to Sakagami Minami's words, Miyamoto Sei pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "Is it somewhat similar to a TV drama?"

"Yes, TV dramas and variety shows are very effective at promotion because they are broadcast on television, and a lot of people watch TV every day."

Sakagami Minami immediately said.

"However, it should be the same for new anime series. Although the actors won't appear in the show, some people will like the songs and voice actors because of the anime, and then look for other related information and eventually become fans."

At this point, Sakagami Minami paused for a moment and smiled.

"Besides, whether it's SKR or Stardust Girl, Nana is Nana herself. For fans, Miyamoto Nana herself is the most important thing, isn't she? So as long as she is responsible to her fans, I think that's enough."

Is it enough that I am Miyamoto Nana, and that I am responsible to my fans?

Miyamoto thought to himself, then nodded slightly: "Thank you, Minami-senpai, I know what to do!"

"Alright, hurry up and eat. You still have training to do later."

Seeing Miyamoto Nana quickly start eating, Sakagami Minami smiled slightly and also began to eat. Although the original plan was to talk about other things and then eat together, the process ended up being a live demonstration of her experience, she still felt quite happy.

After finishing his meal and thanking Sakagami Minami, Miyamoto Sei hurried to the theater, lost in thought as he walked.

Senior Nan has helped me a lot, so I should probably find a chance to buy her a gift... But what should I buy? I don't even know what Senior Nan likes. Maybe I should ask someone else?

Should she ask Shiigishi Minami-senpai or Asuka Rina-senpai in her unit? Or should she ask Higashi Hisa-senpai? Maybe she should ask Amagai... no, she'd better not.

Miyamoto Sei thought to himself and quickened his pace.

The afternoon performance went without any problems. The team's coordination had been built up through hundreds of live performances and extensive training. After the performance, they began K6th training.

When the clock struck ten and everyone left, only three people remained in the dance studio.

Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika, Nagayasu Miyu.

"I'm going back first. Don't push yourselves too hard, or your bodies won't be able to handle it," Mika Komatsu said, leaving the dance studio first.

Miyamoto Seya was packing his bag, planning to go home in a little while.

"Nana-chan!"

Hearing a slightly tense voice behind him, Miyamoto turned around to look at Nagasu Miyu. The girl's slightly flushed cheeks were facing him, and her outstretched hands held a gift wrapped in pink paper with the words "For Miyamoto Nana" written on it.

"This is a gift of chocolate, please accept it!"

So I received chocolate not only as a male, but also as a female? Although both are "obligation chocolates".

Miyamoto looked at the girl with some surprise, but seeing her somewhat stubborn expression, he smiled and reached out to take the chocolate.

"Thank you, Miyu-chan! I'm so happy you gave me chocolate!"

"Is that so? As long as you're happy..." She lowered her head slightly and quickly turned to walk in the other direction: "Then I'll go pack up. It's late, I should go back."

"Yes, it's time to go back. I have to keep busy tomorrow..." Miyamoto nodded and turned to put the chocolate into his bag. The chocolate was beautifully packaged, and it was clear that a lot of thought had been put into it.

After packing their things, they went outside with Yongan Meixi. As soon as they stepped out, they saw a person standing against the wall, seemingly waiting for them.

Upon seeing that person, Miyu Nagasu's eyes widened slightly.

"Reed, reed sauce?!"

Standing over there is Higashi Hisako Ogiko, known as the unwavering SKR.

One of the most popular candidates to win the general election this year.

It can be said that the first place in the general election was a battle between her and Naoki Sakurako.

Why is she here? And she seems to be waiting for someone—is she waiting for the other official team members?

Miyamoto looked around and found that there was no one else around.

This makes things even stranger. Could it be that they're waiting for me?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Miyamoto immediately dismissed it. Thinking like that was far too arrogant; he wasn't anything special, and no one needed to wait for him.

Higashikuze Ogiko nodded slightly to Nagaan Miyu as a greeting, and then looked at Miyamoto Sei.

"Come here for a moment, I need to talk to you."

The simple words were like an order. Miyamoto hesitated for a moment, thinking that the other party knew he was a man, and then obediently followed.

As he walked, he called out to Yongan Meixi.

"Miyu-chan, you can go ahead now, don't wait for me!"

"Well, I'll leave first."

Behind him, watching the two leave, Miyu Nagasu looked puzzled, wondering what Higashi Hisagi Ogiko wanted to talk to Miyamoto Nana about.

Perhaps it's related to work at the center.

Miyu Anzai thought to herself silently.

Miyamoto followed Higashikuze Ogiko into the theater. It was in this very place that he had last spoken to her, which gave Miyamoto a feeling that he might be reprimanded.

"Sit down for a while," said Higashi Hisagi Ogiko, sitting down in the front row of the fan seats.

Miyamoto listened to her words, unsure of what Higashikuze Ogiko was up to, but still obediently sat down next to her.

"What do you see?"

"stage."

"That's right, the stage, a stage that's 34.5 centimeters higher than where we're sitting now. We usually perform on this stage, facing the fans below."

As Higashi Hisako spoke, her voice sounded somewhat different from usual, almost ethereal.

Miyamoto couldn't help but turn to look at the other person, only to find that the other person was staring at the stage with a strange light in their eyes.

"Did you know what Teacher Bei said to us the day before yesterday? SKR is a school. We learn in the school, acquire the necessary knowledge, set our goals, and then spread our wings and fly high..."

Miyamoto was somewhat taken aback; those words made him feel uneasy.

"But everyone is actually very scared. They've worked so hard to become idols, to become official members, and to achieve their current status. If they leave now, will they ever be able to regain what they have achieved..."

What was she trying to say?!

"By the way, this is for you, it's just a courtesy, after all, you've contributed a lot to this place."

Higashikuze Ogiko placed a wrapped chocolate in Miyamoto Sei's arms, then stood up, already putting on sunglasses.

"I'm going back."

Miyamoto Sei remained quietly in place, unable to even utter a thank you. By the time he realized what was happening, Higashikuze Ogiko had already left.

He touched the chocolate in his pocket, which Higashi Hisako had just given him. It was a very happy thing for such a popular idol to give him chocolate, but Miyamoto Sei had no mind to think about such things at the moment.

He gleaned some meaning from Higashikuse Ogiko's words, and what he gleaned made him break out in a cold sweat.

Higashi Hise Ogiko, hailed as the unwavering center of SKR and the face of SKR, is actually planning to graduate!

It's not that no one ever graduated from SKR before, but the main reason those people graduated was because they felt SKR was no longer good enough, or they felt they weren't suitable to be idols, so they chose to leave.

But how come someone like Higashikuze Ogiko, who has been with SKR since the very beginning and has supported the team from the very beginning, is now planning to graduate?!

If this news gets out, it will be a huge blow to SKR, and at least for the current graduate students, it will definitely cause great anxiety!

Miyamoto suddenly had an idea.

Does Risa Tenbei know about this?
