I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Looking at pretty girls is a very enjoyable thing!"

The two chatted for a while, but they couldn't talk for too long, since this was a high-five event, not a handshake event.

So they continued walking forward, talked to Mika Komatsu for a while, and finally arrived at Miyamoto's place.

"Nana-chan, now I know why you're the Center."

"Eh? That's just Mr. Amaga's personal opinion. I'm far from being qualified to be a Center!"

Miyamoto hurriedly spoke, knowing that he had Amagai Risa watching him closely, a fact that was no secret to the graduate students, or rather, to the SKR members.

Although many people believe that Risa Amagai's actions towards Miyamoto Sei were something she would rather not receive this kind of attention.

That bizarre operation must have been quite a shock to the heart.

Nana Miyamoto, who can withstand and overcome each of Risa Amagai's demands while maintaining a good mindset, is vaguely described as a "monster".

Of course, this is a respectful title, since the top eight are gods, while Miyamoto Nana, who has not yet reached the level of a god, is a monster among SKRs.

"Seeing how hard you all work, I must also keep working hard and make a name for myself in the voice acting world!"

Saori Onishi clenched her fist, then gave Miyamoto Sei a high five before walking forward.

After the high-five party ended, everyone had a short break. Miyamoto was walking down the corridor when he saw someone flash by in front of him.

It's Shiigaki Minami from no3b. I had some contact with her when we were in Team K.

The other party is not just a member of no3b. Although she was assigned to Team K, which is mainly composed of second-generation members, she is a veteran, a first-generation member, and has an excellent relationship with Sakagami Minami.

It's fair to say they've been playing and growing up together since they were little.

Thinking of this, Miyamoto immediately went up and started calling out as he went.

"Senior Shiikishi!"

When Shiigishin heard someone call her name, she turned around and saw that it was Miyamoto Sei, and she pouted slightly.

"Have you forgotten what I said last time?"

Ok?

Miyamoto immediately recalled the scene from their last meeting, when he was acting as a substitute for Naoki Sakurako. At that time, Naoki told him not to call him "senpai" and to just call him "Mi-chan."

Thinking back to what had happened, he immediately realized what had happened.

"Mi-chan!"

"Yes, Nana-chan!" Minami Shiigishi, who was called Mi-chan, finally smiled. "Is there something you need?"

“I’ve received a lot of help from Senior Nan, so I was thinking of buying him a gift. But I realized I don’t know what he likes, so I wanted to ask him.”

"A gift for Apple? You can ask me that without any problem, after all, Apple and I are practically inseparable!"

She proudly uttered something rather unfortunate, and then pondered for a moment.

"Let me put it this way, although we all say that Apple is a man, Apple actually has a very girlish heart!"

"Girlish heart?"

"Yeah, for example, she really likes pink, which is hard to imagine in normal times, right?" Shiigan Minami said, laughing as if she had thought of something happy.

So Senior Nan has this kind of hobby? Liking pink and such is really hard to imagine.

Miyamoto silently noted down this information.

"So I think you could consider the pink theme. Give her some small pink gifts, and she'll definitely be very happy."

Pink... but what little gift should I give it?

"I think underwear is pretty good. Pink underwear is cute, and it won't affect your appearance when you wear it outside."

Shiigishin's words made Miyamoto Sei's eyes widen almost instantly.

"Underwear?!"

"Yeah, underwear is fine, isn't it? If it had a bear or something patterned on it, she'd be even happier."

The underwear was pink with a bear pattern, which was indeed very girly, but it was hard to believe that a guy would give someone pink underwear as a gift.

That would make him seem like a pervert!

"But underwear feels a bit impolite... or how about a pink bow?"

Miyamoto quickly replied.

"puff!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Shiigishi Minami couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha! So apples are always associated with bows after all?!"

After carefully recalling the number of times he had met Sakagami Minami, Miyamoto nodded affirmatively: "Minami-senpai must really like ribbons!"

"She really likes it, and she even stubbornly chose to wear a bow on her personal fashion show. But she finally changed it recently, although she still wears it normally."

After saying that, she reached out and patted Miyamoto Sei on the shoulder.

"But you can give her a ribbon if you want, she'll definitely be happy to receive one!"

"Thank you so much, Mi-chan! I really appreciate your guidance!"

"It's nothing. I'm happy to come to me with something like this!" Shiigan Minami shook her head before leaving, a smile on her face as she went. "I wonder how Apple will react to the gift. I'm really looking forward to it."

With Shiigishin's departure, Miyamoto Sei once again fell into deep thought.

Senior Nan likes pink things, which is pretty good information, but underwear is definitely not a good idea. It's too tight. If I were a woman, it would be fine, but I'm a man. Putting aside whether I could accept it myself, just the possibility of it being exposed later would be a lot of trouble...

However, as for the ribbon... according to Mi-chan, they've stopped wearing it on variety shows. Would it be a bit strange if I gave them a ribbon as a gift?

Or you could give me another pink hair clip that I can use to style my hair?

It's so hard to choose... If I were a girl, I would probably know very easily what to give as a gift by now. Just choosing between the two options is giving me a headache!

Miyamoto Sei was caught in a dilemma.

Chapter Fifteen: The Conveying of Emotions

"It seems our photobook has been discontinued."

On the way to the voice actor training room, Mika Komatsu said to the two of them.

"We sold over 20,000 sets. Considering that we took the photoshoot while we were on the sidelines of the audition team, and when we weren't famous at all, this sales figure is quite impressive."

Miyamoto said that he was quite happy that the swimsuit photo set had sold more than 20,000 copies. At first, he really couldn't have imagined that number.

The performers earned over 2.4 million yen, which, when divided equally, amounted to 150,000 yen per person, providing a significant boost to the graduate students' income during this period.

With the sheer number of performances the graduate students are doing these days, plus their single CDs and performances at Shibuya Public Hall, the graduate students can now be considered to have some assets.

After all, if you calculate it this way, from September to now, the average monthly income is close to 300,000 yen.

While it may not be considered stable, the income is certainly not low.

"I usually eat at the theater and at home, so I can save the money. But it's a bit troublesome to stay at home. If I become a full member in the future, I'll need to rent a place to live."

"Miyu Nagasu said quietly from the side."

"Should we move out?" Miyamoto asked, looking at Nagasu Miyu with some confusion.

“Well, because of training, it sometimes gets very late, which can easily disturb my family. Training at home would also be a hassle for my family, so it’s definitely better to live outside.” Miyu Nagayasu said, a hint of hesitation in her voice: “I’ve actually considered going to the graduate student dormitory.”

“Going to the graduate student dormitory is also a good idea, and you’re right, living with family can indeed be a bit troublesome.” Miyamoto nodded, now having a deep understanding of the situation.

He now washes his women's clothes separately because he can't wash them at home. He also has to hide many things so his sisters can't see them. Overall, it's really exhausting.

If he didn't have a lot of money on hand right now, and if he didn't plan to stay for too long, he would have moved out and lived alone long ago.

"If you don't mind the hassle, you can come and stay at my place for now. My house is quite big, and you can move out once you start renting your own place," Mika Komatsu suddenly said.

"Eh? I'm going to stay at your house, Mika-chan? But... won't that cause you any trouble?"

Miyu Nagasu looked at Mika Komatsu, who slightly turned her face away. Miyamoto Sei saw it clearly; her cheeks were slightly flushed.

“What’s the trouble? My place has two bedrooms, you can use one. Anyway, there’s a separate wardrobe in it, and I don’t need to use the room at all.”

"Then I'll talk to my family and see if my parents agree." Miyu Nagayasu didn't refuse Mika Komatsu's kindness. She happily shook Mika's hand: "Thank you, Mika-chan!"

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Mika Komatsu said, her eyes slightly darting away. This caught her eye of Miyamoto Sei, who was smiling broadly, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "What are you laughing at?!"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this world is so beautiful."

Miyamoto smiled and decisively changed the subject.

……

Voice actor training largely involves constantly studying what state to use to voice a character, while practicing changing one's own vocal range.

How a person speaks when angry, how they speak when happy, and how different personalities change their tone of voice in different environments—these are all knowledge and skills that voice actors need to learn and master.

Standing in front, Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika, and Nagasu Miyu were having a conversation.

As learning progresses, training in multi-person dialogues has already begun.
