I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Hehehe, I'll come sneaking up on you again next time!"

Okay, that's impossible, isn't it? This person was just born the wrong gender.

Suppressing his earlier speculation, Miyamoto Sei walked into the dance studio.

"I heard Nana-chan became the center." Sakagami Minami glanced at the closed door of the dance studio. "She's still as reckless as ever."

“That means BeiP has good taste! I think Nana-chan is great!” Naoki Sakurako wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth. “Besides, after all these years, it’s understandable that she wants a supporter who can stay for the next few years.”

"A supporter? And a center too... I'll go ask Ogiko-chan." Sakagami Minami said, as if she was about to jump up and run away into the distance.

……

"Ha ha……"

The ground was covered in sweat, and even though I had drunk several cups of water, the amount of water I consumed still couldn't keep up with the amount I replenished.

I've been training for several hours, but it still doesn't feel right.

Dance movements must be mastered as much as possible. Without formal dance training, one can only make up for deficiencies through simplistic, repetitive practice.

Drawing on her experience from previous training sessions and trying her best not to repeat past mistakes, Miyamoto continued her dance training.

They danced to the rhythm of the music, as if trying to make the dance completely instinctive.

The door was pushed open, and a person walked in.

She walked to the side and started dancing to the music.

Her movements were gentler than Miyamoto Sei's, yet equally powerful.

Most importantly, the dance is completely different from what Miyamoto Sei learned; in fact, it's much more difficult!

That's Ogiko Higashi, the center of Team S!

Why is she here? Isn't this the graduate students' dance studio?

Regardless, this is an opportunity in my heart. It's rare to have someone dancing around me, and so professionally at that. I don't usually get this kind of opportunity to observe.

Concentrating on Higashi Hisako Ogiko's movements, his body involuntarily swayed along, constantly imitating her movements—that swaying that contained power yet was soft.

Sexy? Innocent? Alluring? Different dances evoke different feelings, but none of that is the key; the key is the expression.

Dance is also a form of expression!

Following Higashikuze Ogiko's movements, Miyamoto Sei constantly adjusted himself, absorbing this experience little by little and making it his own. At this moment, Miyamoto Sei had a strange feeling.

He felt something stirring inside his body, something that seemed to be truly becoming one with him, gradually transforming into his true instinct.

ten minutes.

half an hour.

One hour.

Two hours!

Finally, her body couldn't hold on any longer, but Miyamoto Sei seemed very happy. She had actually mastered the dance that Higashi Hisako Ogiko was unfamiliar with!

Moreover, even the Heavenly Demon Dance gifted to him by the system seemed to have been truly mastered at this moment.

That kind of real dance where you can control your own body!

Looking at Higashikuze Ogiko, he wondered if he should thank her. Even if she was only here for training, the fact that she had been here all this time was a great help to him.

"for you."

A bottle of water was thrown over, and I quickly caught it and saw that it was an electrolyte water that cost much more than a beverage.

"After sweating a lot, you need to replenish not only water, but also other things."

She came here specifically for me? Why?

"Thank you very much, Higashi Hisashi-senpai!"

He quickly thanked her. Although Miyamoto didn't know why the other person was being so kind to him, he still decided to ask her first.

"Senior, may I ask you a question?"

"what is the problem?"

Higashikuze Ogiko also opened a bottle of water and took a sip. Her tone was somewhat cold and aloof, but based on what had just happened, Miyamoto Sei didn't think so at all. She was also a very good person.

"Center, what should we do?"

“Just be yourself. You are you, not someone else.” Higashikuze Ogiko looked at Miyamoto Se: “Since Amagai-P made you the center, it means she believes that you have the qualities to become the center.”

No need to pay special attention, just be yourself normally?

Speaking of which, when Tempe P mentioned this to me last time, he was talking about some small things I do in my daily life.

"I was in the same boat back then. Suddenly I became the center, and I didn't have any time to learn what a center should do. At that time, I just had to do my job well. If I couldn't even do my job well, wouldn't that be a failure?"

"Should I just do my best? But I'm still not very proficient, and if I make a mistake on stage..."

"I ask you, are all people's talents the same?"

“It’s definitely different,” Miyamoto said quickly. “There are people who can learn math with just one glance, and there are people who can’t understand the same math problem even after studying for ten days.”

"That's right. Talents are different. Even the same person will be in different situations at different times. In this case, what you need to do is actually a very simple thing."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Higashikuse Ogiko's face, giving the impression of a hallucination.

"Give 100% of your strength, whether it ends up as 100 or 0. At least show it 100%. If you can work even harder on that basis, that would be even better."

"Thank you so much, Higashi Hisashi-senpai! You've been a tremendous help to me today!"

"Remember to clean the floor before you go back, or Hasegawa-san will scold you."

"Okay, I understand. I'll clean it up!"

Seeing Miyamoto Sei busy with a rag, Higashi Hisako Ogiko went outside.

She turned on her phone and made a call, then laughed and said, "I've completed your request, Nan."

"Huh? It took so long? Were you with me the whole time?" Minami Sakagami's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I danced with him for a little while, and he really has a great talent for dancing. You also mentioned that he has a talent for singing. This child might really be the next one..."

"What kid? You're only 19, aren't you? And you're a few months younger than me!"

"I'm taller than you."

With that one sentence, the other end fell silent.

Chapter Thirteen: A Faint Flicker of Light

Just as Risa Amagai said, Mika Komatsu wasn't unable to go on stage; rather, she was next to Miyamoto Sei, also in the first row.

Her expression remained serious, and her gaze towards Miyamoto Sei was scrutinizing.

This is only natural. When someone takes your place, especially a newcomer, everyone will doubt whether that person is qualified.

Miyamoto had no doubt that if she failed to demonstrate the abilities she was supposed to have, Komatsu Mika would go to the person in charge and request a replacement.

"Alright, let's begin. There are three songs to dance, so you don't have much time!" said Sachiko Hane, the teacher, as she began to demonstrate. The movements were the same as those on the CD, but having someone demonstrate was definitely better than just watching the CD.

"Miss Yong'an, you're turning too slowly here!"

"Ms. Shimada, please relax a bit more. The movements here are too vigorous!"

"This is the third time we've made this mistake!"

With each reprimand, Sachiko Hane, in her class mode, showed no gentleness whatsoever, pointing out mistakes without hesitation. Under her reprimands, everyone continued to correct their errors.

Miyamoto was completely absorbed in her dance training, a smile on her face. She felt as if she were about to fly away.

This magical feeling seems to have started yesterday, during training with Higashikuze Ogiko.

Mika Komatsu looked at the person next to her with some surprise. She was clearly a newcomer, so why did she suddenly change so much?

It wasn't just the dance moves; you could say the whole person changed. It was an aura completely different from before, and this aura enveloped the entire area.

Is it depressing?

No, there's no feeling of oppression. Rather, I feel more relaxed in this atmosphere. It's not a struggle, but a sense of acceptance.

Feeling this way, Mika Komatsu suddenly had an impulse to let go, to ignore everything else, to let go and show herself.

Not only her, but everyone else also clearly felt this change. They couldn't help but spin around, following the figure in front of them, constantly showing off their own beauty.

As a teacher, Sachiko Hane had the most direct experience of this, but precisely because of this, she was the most impacted.

Are there any errors in the movements?

Have.

But at that moment she even forgot to point it out.

Because everyone has been coordinated together, it seems that there are no longer any barriers between them.

Even if there are incorrect movements, they are immediately overlooked due to this sense of coordination.
