I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Yes, we won't lose!"

"Fasten your seatbelts, we can't let the guests be late!" said Ouji Ryoto, stepping on the gas pedal. The car sped off and onto the road.

Upon arriving at their destination, Miyamoto got out of the car and was about to pay when the other party drove off, shouting as they drove, "This fare is on the house!"

Miyamoto, who had only taken out half of the money, stared blankly at the taxi that had already driven far away. In the end, he could only smile and walk into the store.

When I arrived at the private room that Higashikuze Ogiko had given me, I opened the door and saw that it was full of people.

Many people from Team S, Team K, and even Team R are in it.

Of course, Senior Nan was also there.

Seeing all the dishes on the table, Miyamoto was certain that these people were having a party here!

……

Let's rewind a bit, to before Miyamoto Sei arrived.

"What?! You've already called Nana-chan!" Sakagami Minami exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Higashi Hisagi Ogiko, who had just finished her phone call and looked completely calm.

"Hmm, wasn't this barbecue party organized by you? You said it was to cheer on the Stardust Girls." Higashikuze Ogiko said with a smile on her face, looking smug. "What's wrong? You're not going to cheer them on now?"

"No, no, I definitely want to cheer them on. Everyone should be natural and not act too serious. If you act too serious, it will put pressure on them!" Sakagami Minami said, looking at the group of people making a ruckus around her. She felt that these people were really too unnatural today, no matter how you looked at them, they were just too unnatural.

"It's a pity that only Nana came, because the other two have already gone home," Higashikuze Ogiko said leisurely.

For a moment, Sakagami Minami's body stiffened, and she turned her head mechanically to look at Higashikuze Ogiko: "Only Nana-chan came?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Higashikuze Ogiko nodded.

Many people calmly watched Sakagami Minami, observing her wide-eyed, completely frozen expression, all with expressions of watching a show.

No, I must calm down, I absolutely must calm down!

It's fine if Nana comes alone. Everyone is here, so there won't be any problems. I'm just encouraging her as a senior, and there won't be any other issues!

Sakagami Minami frantically tried to hypnotize herself, but it seemed to have little effect. For the next while, she sat upright and stiff.

"Apple seems to be waiting for Judgment Day."

"Yeah, Apple is way too nervous."

"No way! I'm not nervous at all!" Sakagami Minami immediately shouted, "But you guys, you need to be more natural and not try so hard!"

Everyone just smiled and remained silent; it was obvious that Sakagami Minami herself was the most uncomfortable among them.

After some time, the door was finally pushed open. I thought it was a waiter, but what I saw was the person I had been waiting for.

"Sorry, I ran into a little trouble on the way and was a bit late," Miyamoto said apologetically to the people inside the house. "I've kept you all waiting."

"It's alright, the food was just served a short while ago." It was Kato Asiko who spoke, and she pointed to the empty seat: "Come sit down and eat with us."

"Okay." Miyamoto was about to sit down when he felt a gust of wind behind him. He thought someone was attacking him, but he was caught red-handed by the person behind him. The distance was too close and it was too noisy, so he didn't have time to react and was groped in the chest.

"Nana-chan, when are we going to take a bath together?" The voice behind me was very familiar; it was the voice of Naoki Sakurako, the center of Team K.

"Sakura-senpai, let me go!" Miyamoto said, trying to break free from the other's embrace. Before he could even move, Naoki Sakurako had already been hit on the head by Sakagami Minami, who then gave her a bear hug and dragged her backward: "Sakurako, what are you doing, you old man?! Didn't I tell you to be natural?"

“Isn’t this how I always have been?” Naoki Sakurako immediately protested.

Thank you, Senior Nan.

Silently thanking Sakagami Minami for saving him from Naoki Sakurako's clutches, Miyamoto Sei sat down in his seat.

However, seeing Sakagami Minami's reaction, Miyamoto Sei had some guesses in his mind.

Are these people gathered here just for themselves?

“Um…” Sakagami Minami stammered, looking at Miyamoto Sei, her voice sounding a little nervous: “Tomorrow’s performance… ah!”

Seeing Sakagami Minami covering her mouth and tears welling up in her eyes, the people around her remained calm.

"Ouch, I bit my tongue."

"You bit your tongue!"

"I bit my tongue."

"As expected, the apple is the most unnatural one."

"Nan-senpai, are you alright?" Miyamoto asked Sakagami Minami in a low voice.

"N-nothing." Sakagami Minami said, picking up her water glass and taking a sip. She then rinsed her mouth, swallowed the water, and felt her tongue feel a little better.

At this moment, how could Miyamoto Sei not know what the other party was planning to do? He was touched that his seniors cared so much about his condition tomorrow. Miyamoto Sei took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Thank you for your concern, but please rest assured, seniors. Although tomorrow's performance will be held in the other party's home field, we will not feel any pressure. In fact, for us, this is just an opportunity to perform for audiences who have not seen our performance before. We just hope to bring them joy."

“Nana-chan…” Sakagami Minami looked at Miyamoto Se and listened to what the other said. Her originally tense heart naturally calmed down.

"Of course, we didn't intend to lose. Besides, they're planning to debut soon, and so are we. It's a close contest. This is a competition between newcomers in the idol world. Please, seniors, just watch the show and don't worry about anything else!" Miyamoto Sei smiled, but his eyes were incredibly firm: "If we can't even handle this ourselves, how can we shoulder the burden of SKR?!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and Higashikuze Ogiko looked at Miyamoto Sei and said, "Wait a minute, I also have something to tell you."

"Senior Ogiko, please speak."

"You don't need to worry about SKR right now, we're all still here. But you're not wrong, you'll have to shoulder the future." Higashikuze Ogiko narrowed her eyes slightly: "Give it your all tomorrow. If you fail, it's just your failure, not SKR's failure. Remember that?"

"I'll remember that, Ogiko-senpai!"

"Alright, come and eat. This is a treat from our seniors." Higashikuze Ogiko said with a smile, handing a bowl and chopsticks to Miyamoto Sei.

Seeing the other person's smile, Miyamoto paused for a moment, then smiled and sat down as well.

"Since it's the seniors' treat, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

"Hey, that piece of meat is mine! Even if it's Sister Qina, I won't forgive you for taking my meat!"

Then, the shouts of a certain idol instantly rang out.

Chapter 71 Away Game

On January 8, 2018, Miyamoto Sei, along with Nagasu Miyu and Komatsu Mika, arrived at the site of Shibuya Public Hall. Looking at Shibuya Public Hall, the group all showed expressions of nostalgia.

The last time we performed at Shibuya Kodo was more than a year ago. At that time, I was on this huge stage with other graduate students. It was also the first time that we, as newcomers, had performed on a large stage.

Unexpectedly, more than a year later, they stood here again, but this time there were only three of them, and on their opponents' stage.

At this point, GEM took the stage first, and Stardust Girl was scheduled for the third song. The first song was meant to ignite the crowd, and the second song was intended to further amplify the excitement. Since the audience consisted mainly of GEM fans, the third act, and Stardust Girl's as an adversary, was not meant to warm up the atmosphere, but rather to create a lukewarm reception.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, the stage mechanism that had been set up beforehand launched Miya, who was hiding underneath, up. This time, her outfit was sexy and had a heroic feel to it, unlike her usual cute style.

“Show Time!”

With a loud shout from Miya, her two companions appeared at the same moment, and the performance officially began, accompanied by rousing music.

"Miya!"

"Miya!"

People shouted wildly; at that moment, there was only one person in their eyes: Miya.

On this stage, there is only one person who shines: Miya.

Miya's dancing and singing are both outstanding, comparable to professional dancers. Her youthful and beautiful appearance, combined with her outfit, further heightened the excitement on stage.

Meanwhile, in a corner, a group of people appeared extremely nervous, their support outfits looking out of place in the arena.

They were Stardust Girl fans, numbering only a few dozen in total. In a venue that could hold thousands, it would be difficult for them to make a splash.

"These Miya fans are so enthusiastic."

"Yeah, look at their reaction. Their attention is completely focused on Miay. I feel like even if Miya went solo, the GEM group would be fine. The other two are just supporting characters, they don't even have any presence."

"That's natural, isn't it? Almost all the publicity has been focused on Miya. The other two are just secondary to Miya. I'm wondering if the resources given to the other two combined are even one-tenth of what Miya receives."

"Let's put that aside for now. You guys said that this is GEM's own warm-up, and the atmosphere in the arena is really high. The second show is also GEM's, and the third show is Stardust Girl's. Will anyone boo them then?"

"Isn't it obvious? There's bound to be booing, which is why we're here!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone gasped.

They all felt the heavy pressure weighing on their shoulders.

They talked about it casually online, but when they actually got there, tension still filled everyone's hearts.

The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves was simply too great. Although we believed in Stardust Girl's abilities, some initial boos were inevitable.

……

Finally, as the second song ended, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Oh my god! GEM!!!"

"Miya is amazing!!"

Hearing the cheers of her fans, Miya on stage smiled happily, her smile full of pride.

See? I don't even need JC Staff to lift a finger. I can crush you all on my own with my strength!

Today, I will show you what a crushing defeat is like!
