I became a girl group idol for my sister.

[During your first performance, Mr. Tenbei's reaction was quite strange.]

Thank you for your reply. Please get some rest.

After sending another message, Miyamoto took a deep breath.

He was somewhat relieved that Higashi Hisagi had discovered his secret; otherwise, his secret would have been exposed to at least all the members of Team R that day.

Rina Miyamoto looked at the pink phone in Sei Miyamoto's hand and sighed again.

"So, this is Miyamoto Nana's phone?"

"um, yes."

"May I take a look at it?"

"Sure, there's really no secret. It's mainly used for communication with our comrades on the SKR side."

Miyamoto handed over her phone. Looking at the photos on the phone, of her younger brother dressed as a woman standing among a group of girls, smiling, Miyamoto Rina felt numb.

Even though she's the older sister and has known since childhood that the other person is a boy, when looking at these photos, she subconsciously treats him as a girl...

Nana Miyamoto's expressiveness is indeed completely different from that of Sei Miyamoto. If we remove the similarity in appearance, then we can say that they are two completely different people!

So how much effort did her younger brother put in to portray the character of Miyamoto Nana to such an extent?

He portrayed a non-existent, fictional person so vividly that so many people were willing to believe that such a person existed. Her name is Miyamoto Nana, an idol belonging to SKR, and she is currently just a graduate student.

Looking at these photos and feeling once again the effort the other party had put in, Miyamoto Rina felt increasingly powerless; the purpose of her trip was no longer achievable.

There's no need to go back and calm down, because it's obvious!

“I understand. I’ll talk to your teacher and tell him that we’ve already talked, and that you’ve decided to continue pursuing your goal.”

As Miyamoto Rina spoke, she looked around again at the greeting cards on the table, the photo books on the shelf, and so on. When her gaze slid over the chocolate box, she paused slightly.

"So, Ogiko-chan gave you the chocolate knowing you were a guy?"

The chocolate that Miyu Nagaan gave was a gift to her companion because her identity was not revealed, but what about Ogiko Higashi Hisaji?

Could it be that she likes her younger brother?!

But what about the no-dating rule?!

And this person is his own younger brother?

What mindset should I adopt to deal with this situation?

“That’s real duty chocolate, I can be so sure!” Miyamoto Sei could tell what her sister was thinking just by looking at the ever-changing expression on her face, and immediately rejected her guess.

"Oath-based chocolate? Do you usually help out with that?"

"It's for the future..." Miyamoto said, but didn't continue. "I'm sorry, I can't say anything more. This is a work-related matter."

"Work-related matters? Okay, I won't ask anymore." Miyamoto Rina knew that these kinds of jobs usually had various agreements preventing the disclosure of certain information, so she didn't press the matter. She straightened her clothes slightly and stood up. "I should go back now. Yukiko is probably still waiting at home..."

She stood there for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at her younger brother, her tone resolute: "Since you've made up your mind, then work hard to achieve your goal. But on this path, I can't help you; you'll have to rely on yourself!"

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely do my best to move forward, just like what Ogiko-senpai said, I will give it my all!"

He saw his sister off all the way to the train station and watched her board the train before turning around and going home. He had expected his sister to yell at him, but that didn't happen.

His sister's self-blame was unexpected, but as he himself said, he was not being coerced; he was following his heart. Therefore, Miyamoto Rina did not need to blame herself for his current situation.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that he's actually very happy now.

He was really happy when he was on stage!

"Ah, I feel so much lighter all over, like a heavy burden has been lifted off my shoulders!" After stretching, Miyamoto walked toward the oden stall on the street. He decided to eat some oden before going back!

……

On the train, Miyamoto Rina felt that fate was playing tricks on her. In the beginning, it was Miyamoto Sei who kept saying that he wanted to go to the University of Tokyo, while she dreamed of becoming an idol and worked hard for it.

Now, she is studying hard, aiming for the University of Tokyo, while her younger brother, Miyamoto Sei, is standing on the stage and has become a girl group idol.

Moreover, judging from the experiences described by the other party, Miyamoto Nana is very popular within SKR.

Whether it was Higashi Hisako Ogiko, Naoki Sakurako, Sakagami Minami, or even Watanabe Hikaru, they were all very kind to her. Watanabe Hikaru even considered creating a scandal to help Miyamoto Nana overcome her initial trial.

Other members who weren't mentioned also clearly had a good relationship with Miyamoto Nana. They were even invited by Naoki Sakurako and Watanabe Hikaru to join their teams, which came from the team's center!

As for her fellow graduate student, if you didn't know he was a man, her younger brother, Miyamoto Nana's character would have been completely that of a caring older sister...

Thinking about this, Miyamoto Rina was speechless for a moment.

What kind of expressions would those people make if they knew that the Center they relied on so much for was a man?

Especially for the fans, if they knew their idol was actually a man...

Rina Miyamoto didn't dare to even think about what might happen. She immediately reaffirmed her resolve: this secret had to be kept at all costs!

Once the decision was made, the immense pressure that had been weighing on her heart dissipated, and only then could Miyamoto Rina truly breathe a sigh of relief.

As she relaxed a little, her mind became much sharper.

Then, she thought of what she had talked about with Miyamoto Sei inside the house.

The fact that Ogiko-chan gave him chocolates as a matter of obligation, and that she said it so confidently, shows that she herself was very certain of the meaning behind the chocolates.

Even if the girl says it's a duty chocolate, a boy would still have some fantasies, right? And it's Ogiko-chan, a chocolate from Higashi Hisako Ogiko. I can't believe he doesn't have any thoughts about it... Well, as for Sei, he might not have any thoughts... Right now, he's obsessed with being an idol and doesn't seem to have any interest in the opposite sex at all.

However, since he said that, it means this is related to SKR. Ogiko-chan is giving out obligation chocolates, which, according to him, is related to the future. Thinking about it that way...

One guess after another flashed through my mind, but none of them quite fit. Time passed by, and when we had traveled about halfway through the journey, an idea that I hadn't considered before suddenly appeared in my mind.

Higashi Hisako Ogiko is planning to graduate!

Because she plans to graduate, she hopes that SKR will have a successor in the future, and the successor she values ​​is actually her younger brother.

Knowing that Miyamoto Nana is a man, she still hopes that he will become SKR's ACE?

Once the idea popped up, it began to spread uncontrollably. This speculation made Miyamoto Rina's eyes widen, but she couldn't deny it.

Because this guess is actually the answer that best fits the situation described by Miyamoto Sei at this moment.

But why not pass the baton to someone like Naoki Sakurako? After all, she's perfectly capable...

No, their ages and other factors are all similar. If some of them graduate, there might be a situation where many people graduate in a short period of time, and the new ACE will need to be found from among the newcomers. So, it seems...

Rina Miyamoto quickly went through all the current SKR graduate students in her mind, and then she realized that the most suitable successor was actually her younger brother!

It was only at this point that Rina Miyamoto realized what was going on.

So, the reason why Risa Amagai invited Sei was because she had seen Sei's potential from the beginning, which is why she invited him even though she knew he was a man?

Thinking about this, Miyamoto Rina began to have some doubts about her own guess.

Is his younger brother really that important to SKR?

If we consider this assumption, then Miyamoto Sei is practically an indispensable person to SKR, but is that really the case?

Rather, given Risa Tenbei's personality, it's more likely that she invited him because she saw a man who seemed perfect for being a girl group idol and thought it would be interesting.

Rina Miyamoto recalled some interviews she had seen with Risa Amagai and suddenly realized that perhaps it was because Amagai found this interesting that she chose to invite a man to join her girl group as an idol.

Risa Amagai is someone who could actually do something like that just because she finds it funny!

Some have even commented that the SKR girl group was born from her finding the idea interesting and deciding to put it into practice.

Compared to the previous approach that practically elevated her younger brother to an irreplaceable position, the latter idea is much more acceptable.

It was purely a result of Risa Tenbei's own interest.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Tokyo Dome Annex Performance [Two-in-One]

When Rina Miyamoto returned home, she found Yukiko Miyamoto still watching TV. Upon seeing her return, Yukiko immediately ran over.

"Sister, welcome home!"

"Yes, I'm back," Miyamoto Rina said with a smile.

"But you came back really late tonight, did you get everything sorted out?" Miyamoto Yukiko asked curiously.

"It's all set up," Miyamoto Rina said, glancing at the television, which was replaying the Shibuya Kodo graduate student performance.

The thought that her younger sister's idol was actually her younger brother, the other person's older brother, made Miyamoto Rina feel somewhat powerless.

But this is a secret that I absolutely cannot reveal.

Yukiko can simply focus on following her idol without worry.

"Hehe, I've already bought tickets for the 6th! I'm going to the Tokyo Dome to see the show!" Yukiko Miyamoto seemed very happy, and she even extended an invitation: "Sister, do you want to come?"

This is the instinct of a fan to spread their faith in their idol.

“I don’t need to…” Miyamoto Rina said, then thought for a moment, “I’ll go take a look too.”

"Yay!" Yukiko Miyamoto cheered. "I'll go ask my brother if he wants to go!"

She picked up her phone and dialed a number.

"Good evening, brother!"

"Team Trainees are having a performance at Tokyo Dome on June 6th! Do you want to come with us? I'm going too! If you come, it'll be like the whole family is going!"
