I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Sure, we're all in this together now, so of course we should help each other!"

"It's settled then. Don't tell Nana-chan yet, okay? I'll find out if she's going to the street performance tomorrow. If she is, we'll give her a surprise!" Matsuda Jurina said, smiling very happily.

……

After finishing her morning street performance and having lunch, Miyamoto Sei went to the theater, where she was met by Matsuda Jurina, who rushed up to her.

This young center, who is a few years younger than himself, always exudes a visible enthusiasm.

Quickly regaining his balance to avoid being knocked over, and then setting her down on the ground, Miyamoto asked with some confusion, "Jurina-chan, come down first. Is there something you need?"

"I saw Nana-chan's street performance video, and the comments are full of praise!" Matsuda Jurina asked like a curious child, "Why did you suddenly start doing street performances?"

"Because I hope to figure out what kind of things the audience here likes," Miyamoto said. This was one of the reasons, though not the main one. As for the other reason, he didn't intend to say it.

“Although the people who come to the theater may not be the same group as those people, it is indeed a solution.” Matsuda Jurina nodded slightly. “And Nana-chan knows so many kinds of dance, you must have been practicing a lot in secret!”

"I received some guidance from teacher Hanagi Yoshiaki when I was filming the movie, so I did some basic learning of various dance styles afterward, so that I can master them quickly when needed."

Miyamoto thought for a moment as he spoke.

"Back when I was a graduate student, I thought about what I would do if I had more free time, such as finding a place to teach dance and properly learning ballet and the like."

You're really working hard, even though you already have so little time left each day...

Matsuda Jurina thought to herself, filled with admiration.

Despite her admiration, she didn't forget her mission.

"By the way, are you going to perform on the street tomorrow too?"

“I’ve already made arrangements with those people, and I’m going tomorrow too.” Miyamoto nodded. “Everyone is very enthusiastic, and with them supervising, I can definitely discover some problems that I hadn’t noticed before.”

I can also expand my fan base in Nagoya to prepare for the task at hand. A month isn't a long time, so I must find a way to get a 99% approval rating!

Matsuda Jurina's eyes darted around, and she smiled at Miyamoto Sei, saying, "Good luck! You'll definitely be accepted by the fans in Nagoya!"

"Yes, I also believe that my fans will support me."

"Alright, let's go train!" the other person said, walking happily ahead. Miyamoto smiled and followed behind.

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Opponents of the Second Day

The next day, standing on the SKG stage again, Miyamoto Sei performed just as he had the day before.

It was similar to yesterday, yet also somewhat different.

"I feel even more immersed in it than yesterday!"

"Yes, that sense of disharmony has almost completely disappeared!"

"It's only been two days, she shouldn't have gone through a long training period, how did she manage to fit in?!"

"Stop talking! Have you forgotten how he suddenly blended in yesterday? This guy is a complete genius!"

The people below were all talking amongst themselves, amazed by Miyamoto Sei's demeanor and harmony with the team at that moment.

Miyamoto heard these words, but he couldn't think too much about them at the moment. He was more focused on his performance and trying his best to present a better image.

He always remembered what Higashi Hisaji Ogiko said: it wasn't about getting 100%, but about showing 100% of the power he could muster.

"Don't think I'll approve. This is someone else's chance to shine. Isn't it expected that they'd go to such lengths? There's no need to praise them!"

Some people disagreed, but looking at that expression, it seemed like he was always putting on a brave face.

"It's basically like a substitute service, only the duration is a bit longer." Someone else chimed in, "I asked around, and it should only be a substitute service for about two or three months."

"Two or three months..."

"Besides, other people also have normal work to do during this period, it's not like they're being sidelined."

Having said all that, the person's expression softened considerably. Many people around him agreed with this attitude; it was natural and normal for someone to stand up for their idol.

At the high-five event, he gave high-fives to each of the returning fans, and the vast majority of them gave Miyamoto a friendly smile.

"You danced really well, Nana-chan! Why don't you just stay in Nagoya?"

"Haha, what are you thinking? They're from headquarters, but I think the idea of ​​them staying here is pretty good."

"Are you planning to poach people from Team S? Watch out, the head coach might come after you."

"Hahahaha!"

That's what everyone said, but they all knew in reality that these changes to the team were not something the team members could decide on their own; it depended on the ideas of the planners behind the scenes.

For example, Risa Tambié's idea.

Soon, the person who had spoken out against Miyamoto Sei also came up to them. He didn't look happy and didn't extend his hand to give a high five. He just stood there and asked a question.

How long will you be staying at SKG?

Miyamoto smiled, not offended by the other party's attitude. She thought about it carefully and said, "I'm not entirely sure. It depends on the company's plan, but if I'm not mistaken, it should take two to three months."

"Hmph, two or three months?" He snorted and left.

Sure enough, even if the standard has been met, it is still difficult to satisfy everyone. To him, I, who am parachuted in and took away his idol position, must be his mortal enemy.

Miyamoto thought to himself as he continued to high-five the people behind him.

"Nana-chan, don't be upset by those words. Actually, most people still support you." After the high-five event, Matsuda Jurina came up and spoke to Miyamoto Sei in a senior-like manner.

"No, I can understand his feelings. If it were me, I would definitely be very unhappy too." Miyamoto shook his head with a smile. He really didn't take the other person's attitude to heart. Even when he was on SKR, he couldn't expect any fan to like him, let alone here where he was a character who had just joined from the outside.

"Nana-chan has such a good attitude, she really is a born idol!" Matsuda Jurina said with a grin, leaning closer again. Miyamoto Se took a step back, but was still caught red-handed by her.

Does this girl really like hugging people that much?

Miyamoto thought to himself, and with a little effort, broke free from the other person's embrace.

"Nana-chan seems a bit cold."

"No, not at all!" Miyamoto Sei struggled to resist the urge to facepalm. "It's more like Jurina, you're just too enthusiastic!"

"I treat everyone the same!"

"That means you're very enthusiastic towards everyone!"

"It's not like I'm a womanizer..."

You said it, not I...

Miyamoto Sei promptly shut his mouth and ran towards the dance studio to practice for a while longer before heading back. He needed to continue training Nanase Touka that evening.

……

"As expected? The fans in Nagoya are quite upset about the sudden appearance of Miyamoto Nana. Although most people are satisfied, some are unhappy that her arrival has taken away the positions of others."

Risa Tenber looked at the report in her hand with a smile on her face.

"Why make Miyamoto Nana and Nanase Touka go through this?" Hasegawa Subaru asked with some doubt. "Wouldn't they have been able to get more resources if they had continued to develop in Team S?"

"Resources? Actually, she can obtain a lot of resources while holding multiple positions, resources that Team S couldn't match. This is a nationwide position, and her fans will be all over Japan," Risa Amagai said. "But shouldn't the most important thing be the process of fighting against those who oppose her?"

"process?"

"Whether she wins or loses, the process is important. These processes can accelerate her growth, and for Miyamoto Nana, this accelerated growth is very necessary."

Listening to Risa Amagai's words and thinking about what Risa Amagai had done, Subaru Hasegawa said with some doubt, "Why is it that the teacher's attitude towards Miyamoto has always been to accelerate her growth, instead of letting her take her time like others?"

“Because…” Risa Tenbei hesitated for a moment, then turned to look out the window. After a while, she slowly said, “Because Miyamoto Nana is a ticking time bomb. Her idol career won’t last long, so the only way to get her into a strong state in the shortest amount of time is to use some unconventional methods.”

At this point, she smiled and said, "Besides, face-to-face contact with fans allows her to gradually build her own power, which is something I hope she can achieve. Now, let's watch and wait quietly for the next general election."

Subaru Hasegawa seemed to understand, but he nodded slightly and then walked out.

Chapter Thirty-Five Obstacles

Nanase Touka lay in the bathtub, enjoying the comfort of the warm water washing over her body.

The water temperature was just right, slowly peeling away the layers of fatigue from her body, allowing her to regain some strength.

She was practically sprawled out in the bathtub, silently thinking about some things.

The food my senior cooked was delicious, but I felt like she was really strict when it came to dance training and such...

I was busy until after 1 a.m. again today. I'll probably be drinking coffee again tomorrow morning...

Ugh, I can't stand the taste of coffee!

But there's nothing I can do about it, isn't there? Without coffee, I'll definitely fall asleep during the day, and then my daytime training will definitely be affected...

Thinking of this, Nanase Touka couldn't help but sink into the water, gurgling and bubbles rising from her mouth as she exhaled.

A while later, there was a knock on the door.

"Dongxia, are you there?"

It was Miyamoto Nana's voice, and I was slightly puzzled.

Nanase Touka almost instantly stood up from the water and quickly said, "I'm here, senpai, is there anything I can help you with?!"

"Nothing's wrong, just checking if you've passed out from soaking in the water," Miyamoto said from the doorway, his tone noticeably more relaxed. "Hurry up, or it'll be past two in the morning."

"Ah! Two o'clock?!" Nanase Touka exclaimed in surprise, completely not expecting that she had been spacing out for so long. She quickly stood up and began to wash herself.
