"This……"

"If I hadn't specifically looked at them, I would have thought for a moment that they were from SKG..."

The audience, who had been complaining, were stunned. They hadn't expected that Miyamoto Nana, who had just been able to clearly sense something was off, would blend into the SKG group so easily that they almost couldn't tell her apart.

"I heard that Miyamoto Nana was trained as a Center from the very beginning of her graduate studies. However, she was the last among her peers to be promoted, but she already had her own Unit while still a graduate student. Now, I think I understand Amagai Risa's intentions a bit better..."

"Are you saying she's a genius?"

"Based on her performance, don't you think she's a genius? She just pointed out the problem, and in less than ten seconds, she's already corrected it."

"You don't object anymore?"

“If she can do that, then I won’t object.”

"I won't give in so easily. An outsider is an outsider; there's no way they can be accepted so easily!"

Even though they were vehemently opposed, it was clear that many of those who had initially opposed the move had now chosen to accept Miyamoto Nana's inclusion.

The performance lasted a full hour without any problems. Miyamoto Sei tried his best to immerse himself in the lyrics and music, hiding his fighting spirit and turning himself into water, swaying with the water flow called SKG.

Finally, as the performance ended, Jurina Matsuda held the microphone and smiled at Sei Miyamoto.

"Thank you all for coming today. Now, please welcome Nana-chan, who is attending for the first time today!"

She even blinked.

"Then let's have Nana-chan share her thoughts!"

"Ok."

Miyamoto Sei picked up her microphone with a smile. Even though there were still some people objecting, for her, being able to stand on the stage and perform was a happy thing in itself, and being able to make some people stop objecting was also a happy thing, so she was truly happy at this moment.

"Thank you all for your opinions today. It's true that having someone help you look at things and then raising questions is the fastest way to improve."

Miyamoto's words made some people blush slightly, but looking at Miyamoto's expression, it didn't seem like mockery at all; rather, it seemed like he genuinely felt that way.

"Being able to debut with SKG is a very happy thing for me. I will work hard to learn at SKG, just like a student!"

At this point, she paused slightly and blinked.

"That's right, aren't I a student right now? I haven't even graduated from university yet!"

These words made many people laugh. An idol who doesn't get angry easily and has a good sense of humor is always more popular.

"By the way, although I said this before when I was a graduate student, I still have to say it again on the SKG stage!"

With her head tilted slightly, Miyamoto Sei smiled and gently twitched her right finger.

"But he's a boy!"

Cheers erupted again from the crowd.

"As expected, SKR's two men are Sakagami Minami and Miyamoto Nana!"

"It's dangerous if there really is such a cute boy, he'd easily be targeted!"

"Is 'When Stardust Shines' actually a documentary?"

And so, amidst this laughter, the performance came to an end. Miyamoto Sei breathed a sigh of relief after arriving backstage, and was then embraced.

"Nana-chan, your performance just now was absolutely amazing!"

The person who hugged him was Jurina Matsuda, who hugged him very happily, as if she had seen a fun toy or something beautiful.

Fortunately, it was just a hug, and there were no strange actions like those of Naoki Sakurako.

"Matsuda...san..."

"Just call me Jurina."

"Jurina-chan, can you let me go?" Miyamoto asked somewhat awkwardly.

On the other side, Rena Matsuda watched this scene and smiled slightly.

"As long as you train hard and perform well on stage, those who oppose you will definitely come to acknowledge you!"

Matsuda Jurina immediately continued.

"Everyone has worked so hard and sweated their way up, and gradually earned their recognition!"

Just then, Miyamoto's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Risa Amagai.

He answered the phone and asked, "Tianbei P, what's up?"

“I watched your live stream just now. You really listened to what they said.”

"The feeling of being a foreign object? I think it's because I see myself as a competitor, which leads to this feeling of being a foreign object. But as long as I integrate myself with the music, lyrics, and flow with the overall rhythm of SKG, then the feeling of being a foreign object can disappear."

"So, have you truly integrated into the SKG group yet?" Risa Tenbe asked on the other end of the phone.

Miyamoto was silent for a moment before replying, "Not yet. I've just joined a new team, how can I integrate so quickly?"

"I must say your technique is quite good, isn't it? You've created the illusion of blending in using your skills. But you still need to keep learning. Only when you truly blend in with the other person will the feeling of being foreign disappear," said Risa Amagai.

Miyamoto felt the other person was calling to offer advice, but he didn't believe that was their purpose, so he asked, "So what's the matter with this call?"

"It's just a small thing, or rather, a small suggestion," Temperisa said with a grin. "I have a little idea, and I'll tell you if you promise not to tell anyone else."

"Then I don't want to know."

"Are you sure you don't want to know?" Risa Tenbei said. "This may not mean much to you, but it is very important to SKG."

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Sei finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He knew that the other party was definitely planning to trick him.

"Go ahead."

"One month later, SKG's official website will conduct a real-name vote to see how satisfied people are with you. If 99% of the total number of voters approve of you, then you will pass the test."

"If I don't pass, will you expel me?"

“No, no, no, I didn’t say that. Of course, if you think that way, I can add it as a condition,” said Risa Tenbei.

"No thanks, I'm not that much of a masochist!"

“Alright, I’ll continue,” said Risa Tenbei. “If you can fulfill this request, then next year, I will give SKG the opportunity to compete at Nagoya Dome!”

Miyamoto's expression changed slightly. He never expected that the other party would make such a suggestion: to exchange his own satisfaction for the opportunity for SKG to compete for the Nagoya Dome!

Slightly distancing himself from the others, Miyamoto said in a low voice, "Are you crazy? My success or failure is related to the entire SKG's chance to climb to Nagoya Dome?!"

"Don't worry, they can definitely achieve it if they work hard, but it will definitely take a few more years. However, you can speed up the process as long as your satisfaction level reaches the standard. By the way, just a reminder, only people from Nagoya can participate in this vote. Don't think about campaigning in places like Tokyo."

Miyamoto fell silent, as did Amagai Risa on the other end of the phone, though a smile played on her lips, as if she had already known the answer.

After a while, a deep voice answered the phone.

"Alright, I accept this challenge!"

After hanging up the phone, Risa Tenber placed it on the table.

"Want to shoulder the entire SKR? Then try starting by shouldering SKG."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Concealment

"Nana-chan, was that Tenbei P just now?"

"I asked Jurina Matsuda."

Because Miyamoto Sei didn't hide who he was from the beginning, those around him could actually hear who he was talking to.

The others also looked at Miyamoto Sei with curiosity. Although they were curious about the content of the conversation, they were even more curious about the identity of the person on the other end.

"It's Tenbei P. Since today is my first time performing on stage at SKG, he came to ask about the situation." Miyamoto said half-jokingly, "He probably just wants me to work hard here and not fall behind everyone else."

"Nana-chan, you really are being watched by Amagai-P, aren't you?" Matsuda Jurina laughed. "So all those strange things you had before, like being stuck and unable to get promoted, were related to Amagai-P, right?"

"Because of the agreement, the bet we made back then. If we don't fulfill it, we can't be promoted. This was agreed upon from the beginning. It's not that we're stuck. Rather, if our actions prevent others from being promoted and are thus blocked, that would be a huge problem."

Miyamoto said.

His words surprised many people. They had assumed that Miyamoto, with his status and strength as a graduate student and a larger fan base, would complain about being stuck and unable to advance, since his peers had all been promoted to full members.

But now it seems he has no complaints at all, and judging from his tone and attitude, he actually thinks it would be a big problem if his bet caused others to be stuck and unable to advance.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to describe them as magnanimous or kind.

Miyamoto was relieved to see that everyone had only asked who made the call and had not inquired about the content of the discussion.

Although if he were to succeed, the fact that SKG would have the opportunity to perform at Nagoya Dome would mean that he would likely receive everyone's help and might even be seen as a savior, Miyamoto instinctively refused to tell anyone about it.

These people have already worked hard enough, and they believe that their efforts will be rewarded accordingly, and that reward is earned through their own hard work.

However, if I were to intervene like this, it would feel strangely like I was doing him a favor, and it would make me feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Even if she succeeded and brought forward the time when SKG would be able to perform at Nagoya Dome, Miyamoto Sei believed that with the girls' hard work, their strength at that time would definitely be enough to perform at Nagoya Dome.

"However, Nana's answer was really great. Many of the fans who were initially complaining have already accepted Nana. If she continues like this, she will soon win over everyone!"

"That's right. To make the Nagoya audience accept someone from the bottom of their hearts, you can only say that he is someone that Tengai P is watching closely."
