I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"By saying that, you're implying that you'll also be running in the general election next year."

Higashi Hisako's words startled Miyamoto Sei.

Yes, if it's not possible now, but the future is uncertain, doesn't that mean I'll still have to participate in the general election in the future?

At least it means I'll still be running in the general election next year...

"call……"

Miyamoto let out a slow breath, without denying what Higashikuze Ogiko had said.

Higashi Hisako Ogiko stood up and waved the return gift in her hand.

"I received your return gift."

"Please be careful on your journey, Senior Dizi."

"You should go back too."

Higashi Hisako Ogiko was the first to leave, walking backstage, when she heard the voices of others behind her.

"Ogiko-chan! Going home so late?" It was Sakagami Minami who came up. She was slightly taken aback when she saw the gift in Higashikuze Ogiko's hand, and then she couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Ah, you received a White Day gift?!"

"Yes, it was a gift from a junior. But as expected, another return gift made me happier than this one."

Higashi Hisako Ogiko smiled, looking very relaxed, while Sakagami Minami looked puzzled.

"A junior?!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: The First Day of Senior Year

The new semester begins on April 10th, marking the start of the first semester for senior high school students.

However, the students at school weren't discussing whether or not they should study hard; they were discussing other things, such as idols and variety shows.

"Miya is amazing!"

"Yeah, she has such a powerful presence, she's totally a superstar!"

"And she's so cute! Did you see her ad? That expression... I feel like I'm falling in love!"

Miyamoto listened to the discussions around him, but didn't pay much attention to it. Miya's publicity efforts were extremely high; the fact that her advertisements were displayed in the Shibuya Building showed just how much investment was involved.

Besides, the other party does have the ability, and has appeared on so many variety shows, so it's normal for more people to know about them.

Miya faces a million people at once, and the exposure is continuous for a long time, unlike the graduate students who face only 250 people each time they are exposed, because they perform in theaters and rarely appear on television.

"Miyamoto-kun, I look forward to working with you this semester."

The person who came up to talk to Miyamoto was Kojima Yukari. Since it was the new semester, there had been some adjustments to the classes. This time, Kojima Yukari and he became classmates, while Matsumoto Haruna became a student in another class.

However, Kenta Iwagami is still in the same class.

"Nice to meet you." Miyamoto smiled, then took out a chocolate and handed the wrapped chocolate to the other person.

"Thank you for the chocolates I gave you as a return gift last time."

Because he had been busy with his work and had been on leave for a long time in order to quickly master the voice acting and related courses, he missed the school day on March 14th.

Then, during the holidays, the matter of returning the gifts was delayed. Now that the new semester has started, he finally took out the gifts he had prepared and planned to give them to Yukari Kojima and Haruna Matsumoto.

"Thank you, I didn't expect you to remember this." Yukari Kojima happily accepted the obligatory chocolate that Miyamoto Sei gave her.

"Of course I remember, but I was too busy at the time to come to school."

As Miyamoto spoke, she took out another prepared chocolate, said goodbye to Kojima Yukari, and went to the next classroom.

Behind him, Yukari Kojima's face was slightly flushed. Although it was just a simple return gift, it still made her very happy.

The boys not far away couldn't help but show gossipy expressions as they watched this scene.

"So Kojima gave Miyamoto chocolates last time!"

"Yeah, you weren't in our class last time, so I didn't see it. Kojima gave Miyamoto some chocolates, even though they were just obligatory chocolates, it was still quite surprising."

"I don't remember her ever giving them to anyone else."

So what exactly happened between them?

"I don't know. That's precisely what makes it so intriguing. How did these two suddenly become so familiar?"

Everyone seemed very curious, wondering how a hot girl who usually didn't talk much to boys could suddenly become friends with Miyamoto Sei, who almost never interacted with girls.

Unfortunately, neither the man nor the woman showed any intention of explaining.

Miyamoto shouted towards the classroom next door.

"Matsumoto-san!"

"What do you need me for?" Matsumoto Haruna came out with a puzzled look. She smiled and asked, "Are you planning to ask me out this weekend?"

"Unfortunately, no." Miyamoto Sei also smiled. Perhaps because he was an idol, or perhaps because he had interacted with many women, he could now respond to such remarks very naturally, without showing any shyness. "This is a return gift from last time. Thank you for the chocolate!"

"Is this a special return gift?" Matsumoto Haruna asked with a smile, continuing to tease.

She reached out and accepted the gift that was given to her.

"It's still a pity, it was just a regular return gift."

Miyamoto answered with ease.

"I thought I would receive a special return gift, but it turned out to be just an ordinary one. It's really disheartening," Matsumoto Haruna said, but looking at the smile on her face, you couldn't tell that she was sad at all.

Miyamoto Seya could tell that the other party was just joking, so he just smiled.

"Matsumoto-san, you're so beautiful, I bet a lot of people want to pursue you, but they're just too afraid to say it out loud."

"So what about you? Miyamoto-kun, aren't you planning to date?" Matsumoto Haruna asked, seizing the opportunity since the conversation had already started.

She was still very curious about the man in front of her, wanting to know what he was thinking and whether he had any plans to be in a relationship.

Miyamoto already had the answer to this question in his mind, so he answered without the slightest hesitation and very naturally.

"I probably won't consider dating for a long time, at least a year or two."

"Huh? Are you planning to focus all your energy on preparing for university entrance exams?" Matsumoto Haruna asked with some doubt. If she doesn't date for a year or two and has a year left before university entrance exams, then it seems she is indeed planning to prioritize her studies.

“That’s one way to think about it, after all, it’s all for the future.” Miyamoto nodded, neither completely denying nor completely admitting it.

“Since you’re not going to tell me, then I won’t ask.” Matsumoto Haruna held up the gift in her hand: “Thank you for your return gift, I really like it.”

Of course I can't say that. Am I supposed to say that I'm going to continue being an idol for the next year or two, and that idols are prohibited from dating?

If I tell you, you'll definitely keep asking me which idol group I belong to, and then you'll search for those idol groups where I look like someone. If you can't find anything, then you'll naturally suspect the one who looks most like Miyamoto Nana, right?

Miyamoto silently complained to himself, said goodbye to the other person, and returned to his classroom.

After returning to his seat, Miyamoto took out a magazine from the table and began to read.

"Huh? Miyamoto, why are you reading this kind of magazine?" Kenta Iwagami's puzzled voice came from the side. "Aren't these kinds of magazines usually for women?"

"Can't I look at the models?"

The incredibly simple answer left Kenta Iwagami speechless.

The models in women's fashion magazines are all women, and they are all very beautiful.

As a man, Kenta Iwagami felt that Miyamoto Sei's answer was absolutely correct.

After answering, Miyamoto continued looking at the magazine. The magazine was called "Seventeen," a women's magazine published by Shueisha, which featured many great outfits.

He reads this magazine simply to learn about fashion and what styles of clothes he should buy in his spare time.

As an idol, how can you be unfamiliar with clothing and styling?

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Departed

Miyamoto was walking down the corridor when Hasegawa Subaru called him to his office, saying he needed to speak with him.

I had just reached the office door when I heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Are you really sure?"

This is an inquiry; this is Subaru Hasegawa's voice.

"I'm sure, I'm so sorry..."

His voice was slightly low and sounded somewhat tired; Miyamoto Sei was quite familiar with this voice.

If he's not mistaken, that's Rika Kusube's voice.

What happened to her? Is that why she came here to find the staff?

Miyamoto Sei had some doubts and hesitated whether it was appropriate for him to go in now.

"Alright, I understand. Since this is your decision, I can't say anything more," Hasegawa Subaru said.

"Thank you, Mr. Hasegawa."

"Alright, if you can't say it, I'll go talk to everyone over there."
