I became a girl group idol for my sister.

After a quick touch-up, the graduate students returned to the dance studio and resumed their practice.

While they were training, they heard the door being pushed open, and Miyu Nagasu appeared in the doorway.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late."

"I know you still have class, but get out of class is over now?" Shimada Yurina asked curiously.

"No, I skipped my afternoon classes and came straight here." She was slightly out of breath as she walked to the side to change her clothes.

Miyamoto immediately turned his head away. It would seem strange to leave now, so he tried hard not to turn around and look at others.

He would be happy to show it to someone who is genuinely willing, but in this situation, he is unusually resistant.

So just focus on practicing!

After Miyu changed her clothes, everyone resumed their training. Miyamoto looked at Miyu's movements with some confusion.

While there was no apparent error in his actions, he was clearly somewhat distracted.

Moreover, he seemed rather listless.

She just said she skipped her afternoon classes and came here. Could something have happened at school that prevented her from finishing her classes?

If that's really the case, is there really nothing wrong with her current condition?

"what!"

With a gasp, just as Miyamoto was thinking, Nagayasu Miyu slipped and fell to the ground while spinning around.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault."

She apologized softly and quickly stood up.

"It's okay, keep going!"

As he spoke, Miyamoto called on everyone to resume their training.

He wasn't really clear about his responsibilities as Center. The idea of ​​being a sun that shines on everyone or a leader who allows everyone to shine sounded too vague and grandiose.

But at least, he felt he could do what he could do well, such as leading everyone in practice. Just as Higashikuze Ogiko said, "First, do your own job well."

Training continued, but Miyu made another mistake, this time colliding with someone and both of them falling to the ground.

"Miyu, be careful."

"Sorry, it's my fault, I didn't do it right!"

After complaining and apologizing, Shimada Yurina quickly went over.

"Alright, alright, let's keep practicing."

"and many more!"

Mika Komatsu had already walked up to her, and when she looked at Miyu Nagayasu, her expression wasn't very friendly.

“I don’t know what happened to you, but you’re here to train for tomorrow’s performance. If something happens to you, it won’t just affect you, it will affect others too!”

"I'm sorry..." Miyu Ayane whispered her apology, lowering her head as if she was about to cry.

"Alright, alright. I also missed a few things just now. Let's keep training."

"Yeah, Komatsu, you're being a bit too strict."

Mika Komatsu glared at the other two: "Shouldn't we be strict? Either adjust your mindset and continue training, or if you can't adjust, then leave and don't disturb other people's training, right?"

She's really strict, but she's obviously realized something. Miyu must have encountered something, but it's not the right time to talk about it, since it's training time.

Thinking to himself, Miyamoto gently patted Nagayasu Miyu's shoulder.

"Alright, adjust your mindset first, and then continue training. You usually train well, so today it should just be a mindset issue. If you adjust your mindset, there won't be any problems."

At this point, Miyamoto looked at the others again.

"Actually, I also encountered some things today. I heard someone in the classroom say that we freshmen are nothing special and that they are too lazy to come and watch. They said we should come and watch when we become famous, because it might be a waste of money to come and watch now, just like buying a game as soon as it's released and ending up with a piece of garbage."

"Ugh, that's such a harsh thing to say!"

"Yes, we've all been working really hard!"

The girls were instantly enraged, and Miyamoto looked at Komatsu Mika.

Seeing Miyamoto Sei's gaze, Komatsu Mika reluctantly stepped forward: "That's absolutely right."

As expected, Mika Komatsu's words made the others feel very uncomfortable.

"But……"

“That’s right. If I were to buy a game, aside from the series I really like, I would wait a while to see what other players think of the game.” Miyamoto Sei echoed Komatsu Mika at this moment.

The two people's simultaneous agreement silenced the others, though their expressions remained grim.

They worked so hard, and it was all treated like garbage...

"But does that mean no one will come to see it? What if there's even one audience member? Even if there's only one audience member, they've still paid to see our performance, so even for that one audience member, we must try our best to make this performance the best we can achieve!"

"Even if only one audience member becomes our fan this time, we can still grow more and more, because we are working hard to achieve our best results. I believe that as long as we work hard, this feeling can definitely be conveyed!"

"Let them understand that we are not some garbage. Even if few people know about us now, we are a good enough game that is worth the money they have paid!"

After listening to Miyamoto Sei's words, the group looked at each other, their expressions softening considerably. Shimada Yurina even laughed, "We're not playing a game, we're an idol group, okay?"

"Yeah, they're our idols!"

"No, it's starting tomorrow that I'll be performing as an idol!"

Seeing that the group had recovered considerably, Miyamoto glanced at Nagasu Miyu, who seemed to be deep in thought. He grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into the crowd.

"So let's keep cheering each other on, forget about everything else for now, imagine ourselves on stage, facing the eyes of others, and for them, and for ourselves, continue to show ourselves!"

In this way, even if it doesn't help others recover, Miyu should be able to temporarily forget about her troubles.

Miyamoto thought for a moment and then pressed the button to start the music.

"Then, let's continue, everyone!"

"Oh!!!"

The training went much more smoothly afterward, and could even be said to have reached an excellent level. After everyone finished training, panting heavily, a figure walked up to Miyamoto Sei, who was packing his backpack.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Miyamoto looked up and saw Komatsu Mika.

Seeing the other person's somewhat serious expression, Miyamoto suddenly had a mischievous idea pop into his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Stop playing dumb. Do you think you don't know why I'm here?"

"I really don't know, so what's going on and what should I do?" Miyamoto looked at the other person with a sincere smile.

"So, it's just... it's just..." she stammered, seemingly embarrassed to say it aloud. Komatsu Mika saw that Miyamoto Sei's eyes were almost narrowed as she looked at her, and her whole face couldn't help but turn red: "It's just that... you're planning to go see her later, right?"

"Oh, it seems you care about her a lot."

"It's just because she's performing with me tomorrow. If my idol career is ruined because of her, I'll be at a loss." Turning her face away, Mika Komatsu packed her bag: "I need to continue training for a while. Since you've started, you should take responsibility."

What a good kid!

Muttering to herself, Miyamoto finished packing her backpack and waved towards the door: "Miyu-chan, wait for me!"

"Eh? What's up, Nana-chan?" Looking at Miyamoto Sei who had called out to her with some surprise, Nagasu Miyu placed her hands in front of her somewhat uneasily.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking we could go back together later."

"I... Go back together?! Nana-chan and me?" Miyu Nagasu exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Going back with Nana-chan?" In an instant, several other people heard this and immediately poked their heads out from other places.

Minami Sakagami and Sakurako Naoki.

And Risa Tenbe peeked out from behind the two of them.

"Oh? Is this guy planning to make a move?" Risa Tenbei murmured to herself, gently stroking her chin.

"Make a move?" Sakagami Minami looked up at Amagai Risa: "Amagai-P, what do you mean by that?! Could it be that Nana-chan is... a lesbian?"

Thinking of this possibility, and recalling how she had been on top of him at the karaoke bar, Sakagami Minami's face turned red instantly.

No, really?!

Tenbe Risa continued to look ahead.

Don't you think Sakurako is one too?

“She’s an older man!” Minami Sakagami answered without hesitation, “And an exhibitionist at that!”

“You’re a man too, you have no femininity!” Naoki Sakurako immediately retorted.

"Alright, follow them quietly and see what these two are planning to do."

Risa Tenbei nudged the two of them, and so, the general producer, the captain of Team S, and the center of Team K all disguised themselves and quietly followed them, sneaking around like stalkers.

Chapter Sixteen: Psychological Counseling [Two-in-One]

Miyamoto Sei and Nagasu Miyu were walking down the street, and Nagasu Miyu looked somewhat uneasy.
