I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Starting today, we will begin rehearsals for our performance at the Tokyo Dome. Although it's just a small venue, I hope everyone will cooperate!"

The one speaking at the front is Sakagami Minami.

Her small stature made her inconspicuous among the crowd, but no one could ignore her holding the microphone. Although she was only the captain of Team S, everyone knew one thing: she was the uncrowned captain of SKR.

She single-handedly took charge of almost everything for the team.

"This is SKR's second time performing at the Tokyo Dome, but it's different from the last time. Last time, in 2014, we only performed for one day. This time, we're going to perform for 19 days, with members from all SKR teams and other sister groups participating. This is unprecedented!"

Miyamoto was also a little nervous listening from below. The Tokyo Dome performances were scheduled to run from May 24th to June 12th, with no performances on June 9th, making it a total of 19 days of performances.

Moreover, it wasn't just the SKR teams participating; it also included members from their sister groups SKG and AJS. This time, the total number of performers reached 132!

This performance is titled "Dedicated to those who missed it ~SKR All-Out Performance~".

The scene was filled not only with familiar faces, but also with many people I had never met before.

When Sakagami Minami was speaking, not many people dared to interrupt. Miyamoto Sei glanced around and found that those who dared to daydream were the veterans, such as Ito Tomomi, who was currently adjusting her clothes.

After Sakagami Minami finished speaking, there was still some time before training. This time was used for things like going to the toilet, but for the graduate students who were participating in this kind of activity for the first time, it was used to chat.

"That's SKG over there, and the one in front is Matsuda Jurina. She was tenth in the last general election!" Miyu Nagasu whispered to the group. She was very familiar with SKG, including her sister group: "And don't let her height fool you, Matsuda-senpai is only 14 years old."

“14 years old?!”

The news elicited a slight gasp from the crowd, though they all kept it low. Miyamoto looked over and saw that the other person was talking to Kato Asiko and others, and it was clear that they had a good relationship.

"Yes, and that one next to Matsuda-senpai, her name is Matsuda Rena. She came in eleventh in the last general election. They are both members of SKG's Team SII, and they are both very good at dancing and singing. They are known as the 'Double Matsuda' duo."

Having the same surname, being in the same team, and forming a group together is definitely a great point for promotion.

However, Matsuda Rena seems a bit cold...

Miyamoto looked at the group of people chatting over there and thought to himself.

"Furthermore, I heard that Matsuda-senpai is very strict. Because she trained and performed with the SKR seniors, she really wants to pass on all the experience she gained here to her SKG teammates. Some people say that her training is like military training."

"Military training?"

"Yes, she's very strict and serious, but she also helps the members solve a lot of problems. She often shows a maturity beyond her years. Of course, this is all what I've heard," said Miyu Nagayasu.

Why should a child be responsible for the entire team?

No, perhaps it's precisely because I'm a child that I want to better demonstrate my ability to contribute to others.

Miyamoto thought to himself, waiting for Nagasu Miyu to continue her introduction.

“That’s AJS’s Team A over there, but since it’s only been formed recently, I’m not very familiar with it,” Miyu Nagayasu said. “But I’ve heard that the leader, Aya Yamashita, is also a very good singer.”

As a sister group, AJS had only been formed for a short time, so there was only one team. Miyamoto looked at the short-haired girl who seemed a little silent, only smiling and saying something when someone spoke to her, and then falling silent again. She was thinking about what Nagasu Miyu had said.

Is Aya Yamashita a really good singer?

Perhaps sensing that someone was watching her, she looked up at Miyamoto Sei, who simply smiled and nodded in response.

Yamashita Aya nodded slightly, then lowered her head again, lost in her own world.

I have a feeling that he keeps people at arm's length. Is it really okay for someone like him to be the team leader?

Miyamoto thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong?" Mika Komatsu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's nothing." Miyamoto Sei shook his head.

He suddenly realized that he had become a graduate student in August, while the members of Team A in AJS, where Yamashita Aya was, were all full members, but they were considered his juniors because they had only joined AJS in September and officially became full members in March of this year.

He then realized that he was already considered a senior colleague, a rather strange feeling.

However, as a senior member, he is still a graduate student and not a formal member, which is quite embarrassing.

……

"Wait a minute, isn't there something wrong with this arrangement?!"

Holding the performance schedule in her hand, Mika Komatsu caught up with Subaru Hasegawa and asked him a question.

"This is Ms. Amagai's idea. She told me that if you have any questions, you can go directly to her," Hasegawa Subaru said directly.

At the same time, he glanced at Miyamoto Sei and Nagasu Miyu, who were looking at the form behind Komatsu Mika.

Not only them, but also others, including those who had been officially promoted but had not yet joined the team.

Everyone seemed puzzled because the arrangement on the form was so strange.

Subaru Hasegawa sighed, then said seriously, "Besides, I don't have any answers to your questions, since I don't know what the teacher is thinking either."

Miyamoto looked at the form, his expression calm, but his heart was filled with doubt and confusion.

The performance for graduate students was on June 6th. The performance included Sengoku Girls, a single by all the graduate students, as well as three new songs from the unit "Stardust Girl" by Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika, and Nagasu Miyu. However, for Miyamoto Sei and the others, the performance consisted of only these four songs.

Yes, only these four.

The remaining hour and a half of the performance was for another sixteen people, and Kojima Haruka was assigned to the center position.

This is very abnormal; this arrangement is extremely abnormal.

They specifically removed the three members of "Stardust Girl" and formed a team of sixteen. It would be strange to call this a graduate student team, since ten of them are already official members, but they simply don't have their own team.

"This can't be a mistake, right? Suddenly asking me to be the center or something..." Kojima Haruka's face turned pale; she was clearly shocked by this arrangement.

Even though she had been the center once or twice before, she felt her heart couldn't take it when she suddenly had to be the center on such a big stage.

“Yeah, why did they suddenly change people?” Shimada Yurina also seemed very confused: “And the ones who were replaced were some of our best people…”

No one refuted this statement. Miyamoto Sei, Komatsu Mika, and even Nagasu Miyu, during these times, were either the best from the beginning or they worked hard and climbed to the top.

Looking at the form, Yongan Meixi looked incredulous. She couldn't believe that all her hard work had resulted in such a small performance.

Just then, Miyamoto suddenly laughed.

He walked over and took Kojima Haruka's hand.

"Keep it up! You'll be standing in the center position soon. Remember what I said last time? Smile more. Your fans will be happy to see you smile."

Miyamoto's words sounded very sincere, without any anger or resentment at having her center position taken away: "Besides, I was originally hoping that I could see you in the center position."

"Nana-chan..."

Seeing that Miyamoto Sei showed no sign of hating her, Kojima Haruka choked up for a moment.

"Alright, train hard. If I'm not mistaken, you, no, you guys are about to face a challenge. You must hold on, after all, we've come this far together!"

After saying that, he went to the side and said to Miyu Nagayasu and Mika Komatsu, "Let's train first. We can talk about finding Teacher Amagai after training."

Miyu Nagasu nodded, while Mika Komatsu looked at Miyamoto with a puzzled expression.

"what have you found?"

"Let's talk about it after training ends. Maybe it'll be a good thing for us." Miyamoto said briefly, temporarily reassuring Miyu Nagayasu and Mika Komatsu.

At the door, Aya Yamashita listened to the conversation inside and seemed somewhat surprised. Perhaps because of the original voices in the eye contact, she was curious about this person named Nana Miyamoto. Moreover, after checking, she found that although she was a graduate student, she was by no means unknown.

And so I ended up here, and unexpectedly encountered this situation.

How can someone accept being no longer the center so quickly, and even comfort the person who took their place? Just how strong is their mental fortitude?

Not only that, she also quickly silenced the other two people who were eliminated, preventing them from hating the others.

Indeed, she is a very capable person, full of leadership qualities.

However, it doesn't seem appropriate to disturb them now, so let's leave first.

Thinking this over, Yamashita Aya quietly left through the door.

Everyone trained very seriously. After completing all the training content, including all the tasks for the day, the three of them took advantage of their time off work to rush to where Tembelisa was.

As the producer, she didn't even come to the event; she stayed in her office.

Upon entering the office, I found that Risa Tenber was indeed still there, surrounded by piles of papers, many of which were crumpled up and lying on the floor.

It was obvious that she was creating something, and she was clearly stuck.

"Are you here to ask why you were removed from the performance group?" Risa Tenbei looked at the three people who entered, her bloodshot eyes staring at them.

Miyamoto looked at the coffee on the table and sighed.

"So, Ms. Tenbei stayed up all night again?"

“For creators, staying up all night is commonplace,” said Risa Amagai, moving her coffee cup a little closer to herself, seemingly remembering the time Miyamoto Sei took her coffee away.

“Actually, I’m more curious about something else than why we were excluded,” Miyamoto said.

Mika Komatsu and Miyu Nagasu looked at Miyamoto with some confusion. On the way here, Miyamoto hadn't said anything, only that seeing Risa Amagai would make it clear what was going on.

It now seems that Miyamoto Sei must have noticed something.

Moreover, this could be even more serious than being removed from the team.

"Oh? What is it?" Amagai Risa immediately became interested. She put down her pen and looked at Miyamoto Sei: "Speak."

"The performance team you've assembled this time isn't a mix of graduate students and regular members at all. Rather, this is the new team's roster, isn't it?"

Miyamoto Sei's words were calm, but his statement was like a stone thrown into a pool, instantly shattering the tranquility.

"What?! You mean a new team!" Mika Komatsu looked at Miyamoto Sei with an incredulous expression. She began to quickly rack her brains, analyzing the basis for Miyamoto Sei's statement.
