I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"So, to solve the mystery, you're directly asking the person involved?"

"Isn't this the fastest way?" Kenta Iwagami said nonchalantly. "But to be honest, university is definitely better. With your grades, I feel you could become a professor or something, earning at least six million a year. That should be better than your current job, right?"

Although Iwagami Kenta's words sounded long-winded, Miyamoto Se knew that the other party was actually worried about him. However, when he heard the other party say that he earned six million a year, Miyamoto Se felt a little touched and also a little amused.

Stardust Girl signed an advertising contract for two years, with the advertising fee totaling over 40 million. Although it was split equally among the three members, each person still received over 14 million. This is not included in their daily income. Now that they are official members, their monthly income is roughly between 400,000 and 500,000, which adds up to about 5 million to 6 million a year.

Moreover, it's obvious that with the first advertisement, there will definitely be a second advertisement, a third advertisement, and various variety shows. Miyamoto Sei has actually thought about one thing: how much money can she save during her time as an idol?

In Japan, a typical salaried worker, with their regular working hours and various bonuses, can generally earn between 300 million and 400 million yen by the time they retire. If one can earn around 400 million yen, then they can be considered to have lived a relatively comfortable life.

Considering that he currently has tens of millions of yen in savings, Miyamoto suddenly felt that it was not impossible. Maybe he could save up four or five hundred million yen before he graduated?

Then I can go to university, find an easier job, and just let life unfold at my own pace.

Thinking about this, Miyamoto suddenly realized that becoming an idol was a good thing in a way, from the perspective of future life.

"Miyamoto-kun, you've arrived!"

Yukari Kojima walked up to Miyamoto Se and smiled. As the person who contacted Miyamoto Se, she was dressed more gently today and did not have her usual delinquent vibe. Miyamoto Se's eyes lit up slightly. He felt that this outfit was somewhat familiar, leaning towards a classic pastoral style.

"Today feels different from usual."

"I was thinking of trying a cute style, so I picked a design recommended in a magazine," Yukari Kojima said softly. "Nana-chan has released a few photobooks, right? I really like her cute outfits, so I copied them."

No wonder it looked familiar; isn't this the same outfit I wore when I took photos for Axes Femme? But there are some subtle changes; did I incorporate my own insights? The combination of small accessories is quite good; I feel like I could learn from it.

Miyamoto carefully observed Kojima Yukari, lost in thought.

Yukari Kojima felt a little embarrassed by Miyamoto Sei's piercing gaze. She felt her cheeks turning red and quickly asked, "W-what's wrong?"

"Nothing much, it's just that the overall design is very cute, especially the small parts. Were they specially selected?" Miyamoto said, his eyes still fixed on the overall structure.

“Yes, I saw it on the street and thought it would match my style, so I bought it!” Yukari Kojima nodded immediately. She never expected that Miyamoto Sei could observe such things: “Does Miyamoto-kun also have an interest in girls’ fashion?”

Miyamoto was momentarily at a loss for words, but as someone who performed on stage, he had encountered many unexpected situations and quickly realized what was happening, revealing a wry smile.

"If you have a lot of women around you, you'll be more familiar with these kinds of things."

He wasn't lying, of course; when he was in a girl group, he was surrounded by women, wasn't he? But he also knew that Yukari Kojima would definitely think of other things.

"That's right, Miyamoto-kun has older and younger sisters, so it's only natural that he knows about these things."

……

My name is Yukiko Miyamoto. I have an older brother and an older sister. My sister originally wanted to become an idol, but due to health reasons, she could only go to university.

Just a few days ago, she successfully passed the entrance exam for the University of Tokyo, and she will be able to start her studies there in a few more days.

My brother should be taking the exam soon, but he hasn't mentioned it to me at all lately. I don't know if he's just not taking it seriously.

Although Higashikuze Ogiko's graduation from SKR makes me a little worried about my idol Nana-chan, I also believe that she will overcome the difficulties. Compared to this, I am more concerned about my brother, Miyamoto Sei.

Why hasn't he told me about the exam?

Filled with doubt, I decided to have a serious talk with my brother this time to see what was really going on.

So, I embarked on my journey to follow my brother once again!

This time, brother, I will definitely dig out where you live!

Yukiko Miyamoto clenched her fists and made this vow in her heart.

Choosing today was quite simple. She had already inquired and found out that Miyamoto Sei was having a gathering with his classmates today. All she had to do was wait at the gathering at the right time, and then follow them back to find her destination!

However, we still need to wait a while longer until Miyamoto leaves the class reunion.

Yukiko Miyamoto watched her brother chat with his classmates from the shadows for several hours. During this time, she experienced things like seeing her brother leave and immediately following him to prevent him from getting away. Finally, the party came to an end.

Watching the crowd disperse and Miyamoto Sei walk towards the train station, Miyamoto Yukiko couldn't help but become extremely alert.

After being followed all the way, Yukiko Miyamoto finally arrived at her destination, the obviously old apartment building.

Standing at the doorway where her brother had gone in, Yukiko Miyamoto hesitated, wondering whether she should knock on the door now or make a phone call first.

Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock at the door.

Yukiko Miyamoto was startled and quickly hid to the side. Then she saw her brother carrying a bag and walking out, holding his phone as he went.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be there soon, I'll make it in time, don't worry."

Is he going to work? He just finished a party and he's already going to work? What's he going to do, brother?

Yukiko Miyamoto peeked out from the shadows and sighed as she watched Miyamoto Sei leave.

I finally made it here, but I couldn't even get through the door. Now I look like a fool standing here.

"Forget it, go back."

As Miyamoto Yukiko was silently thinking, just as she was about to leave, she saw an old woman walking over. After seeing her, the old woman blinked and looked at her carefully.

"Wow, it looks just like it!"

"like?"

"Are you here to see Mr. Miyamoto?" the old lady asked.

“Yes, he’s my brother. I came to visit him, but he’s not here right now,” Yukiko Miyamoto said.

"He's definitely not here. He just left. You just missed him. If you want to wait for him, I can open the door for you." The landlady said, taking out a spare key. "Waiting inside is better than waiting outside. You can even watch TV."

"C-can it?"

“Why not? His sister came last time too, and I helped her open the door.” The landlady said, opening the door. “Go in quickly, but remember to send your brother a message or something and tell him to come back to see you as soon as possible. It’s not good to be too late, unless you’re staying here tonight.”

"So late?"

“He usually comes back very late, often after 11 p.m., and sometimes even after midnight.” The landlady thought for a moment, “I can usually only see him on the security camera.”

"Is that how it is? It seems like my brother is very busy."

"These days it's not easy for anyone, it's quite admirable that your brother works so hard." The landlady smiled and pointed to the door: "Alright, come on in."

"Thank you, Grandma." Yukiko Miyamoto happily thanked the old woman before going inside.

After closing the door and taking off her shoes, Miyamoto Yukiko entered the main room. She stared at the row of clothes hanging outside the window, her mouth slightly agape.

There were skirts and hot pants, all sorts of different women's clothing hanging there.

Then, in the shoe cabinet, besides men's shoes, there are also many women's shoes, including high heels.

In that instant, an idea popped into Yukiko Miyamoto's mind.

Is my brother's cross-dressing hobby developing into something pathological? Or is there actually two people living here? Besides my brother, there's also my future sister-in-law?

Looking at the things around her, Yukiko Miyamoto's eyes widened even more.

"Wow, so much SKR stuff! Do you have all these CDs? And several Stardust Girl singles, even the photobooks. Didn't you usually act like you weren't interested? Could it be that you're actually a super idol otaku, but you just don't want to show it in front of us?"

At that moment, the image of Miyamoto Sei in Miyamoto Yukiko's mind began to change.

He lives with a woman, likes to cross-dress, and is also a hidden idol otaku!

Chapter Eight: New Job

Miyamoto was somewhat relieved that the gathering ended relatively early today. Otherwise, he would have had to say that he had something to do and had to leave when everyone was having a good time. Although he did have something to do, this gathering might be his last meeting with his high school classmates. Thinking about it that way, it would be hard to accept leaving suddenly.

Although today is my day off, work suddenly came up, and there's nothing I can do about it. That's the job of an idol, or rather, an artist. Sometimes when work comes, you can only put down what you're doing and rush over.

After finishing today's impromptu performance, Miyamoto was packing her things when Nagayasu Miyu suddenly asked, "Nana-chan, which team do you think we'll be assigned to?"

"Let's see what Amagai-P thinks. But since you're so cute, Miyu, you'll probably be assigned to Team R." Miyamoto said, glancing at Komatsu Mika. "As for Mika, she'll probably be in Team S. After all, Mika is quite unique."

"And what about you? Where do you want to go?" Miyu Nagasu asked.

“SKR, any of the three teams is a possibility. After all, she receives a lot of attention from Tenbei P, and the original training was entirely based on the characteristics of each of the three teams.” Mika Komatsu said, slinging her bag over her shoulder: “Let’s go.”

The three of them walked out together. As they walked, Miyamoto said, "I don't really care which team I'm on. I've been a substitute for all three teams. For me, it doesn't matter which team I'm on, because I feel like it's fun no matter which team I'm on."

As I was walking, I saw a staff member approaching.

“Stardust Girls, Ms. Tenbei wants to see you in her office.”

Upon hearing this, the three looked at each other with curiosity in their eyes, wondering what Tianbei Lisa wanted to see them about.

"They're not planning to make us do something weird again, or achieve some strange goal, are they?" Miyamoto muttered.

"Probably not."

The staff members gave awkward smiles. Everyone knew that Risa Amagai liked to send Nana Miyamoto and the people around her to complete strange goals, and each one was very difficult.

"Teacher Tianbei seems to be considering something, which may be related to your upcoming team division."

"Really? Thanks!"

With this information revealed, Miyamoto and the other two breathed a slight sigh of relief before heading towards Amagai Risa's office.

Upon entering the office, they found only Tenberisa inside. Seeing the three of them come in, she smiled and said, "You've arrived."

"What's matter?"

"Here you go." She handed three sheets of paper to the three of them, one for each of them. Looking at the blank sheets, Risa Tenbei said to the three puzzled people, "You can write down the team you want to join, or you can tell me now. Although I won't say that I will follow your ideas completely, I will take it as a reference."
