I became a girl group idol for my sister.

As she spoke, Minami Sakagami suppressed her doubts and patted her cheeks.

"Alright, everyone, get ready to go on stage!"

The general manager once again focused on the work at hand.

Meanwhile, in her office, Risa Tenbe was also watching this scene.

"An unexpected development, yet the results were surprisingly good. How could such a sudden situation be handled so well? It really surprises me..."

She couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter Forty-Two: Superman

There were more than a dozen songs in total, and there were no mistakes. Just by looking at the cheers in the audience and the shouts after the show ended, Miyamoto knew that he had succeeded this time and had not let anyone down.

"Encore!"

"Encore!"

The others looked at Miyamoto Sei. It was already difficult enough to learn the normal performance content, let alone ask for an encore. Was that really possible?

“No problem, of course I’ve memorized a few of the popular encore songs!” Miyamoto gave a thumbs up and smiled brightly.

Then he shouted, "Then everyone, let's go together and bring you the best encore!"

Seeing Miyamoto Sei so full of energy, everyone was relieved and rushed out together, standing on the stage once again.

Amidst the fans' loud chants of "Encore!", the performance began once again.

……

"call……"

With a slight sigh of relief, after finishing the encore, Rena Matsuda picked up the microphone and said to the fans what she hadn't originally intended to say.

"I'm so sorry, Jurina had a little accident on her way back, which is why she couldn't come today. Not only today, but she'll probably need to stay at the hospital tomorrow too..." Her voice choked slightly as she said this, but she immediately smiled and said, "Fortunately, there's nothing too serious. The doctor said she'll be fine in about two days, so please don't worry."

"Speaking of which, everyone was quite flustered when this happened today because we didn't know how to deal with Jurina-chan's absence. In the end, Nana-chan helped out. Although we knew that we would be criticized if we didn't dance well, Nana-chan still stood in the middle!"

Matsuda Rena's words brought Miyamoto Sei into the public eye and cleared up everyone's doubts about why Miyamoto Sei, rather than Matsuda Jurina, was standing in the center position today.

Miyamoto knew that Matsuda Rena was trying to clear up any misunderstandings in everyone's hearts. Even though she danced very well, once the performance ended and the fans came to their senses, they might feel some dissatisfaction, since it was as if she had taken away their idol's job.

Now that an explanation has been provided, this dissatisfaction naturally disappears.

Although the exact details of what happened were not explicitly stated, after learning that the doctor said it would take a day or two to recover, the fans understood what had happened, and their initial resentment towards Miyamoto Sei finally dissipated.

"Oh, so he was brought in as a last resort."

"To perform at this level after stepping in as a substitute is nothing short of a miracle, isn't it?"

"They must have trained beforehand to deal with emergencies. Rena-chan's statement about having no way to deal with it is definitely just for the sake of the show!"

"But no matter what, it was definitely because of Nana that the performance didn't go wrong this time, right?"

Amidst the fans' discussion, Miyamoto Sei, at Matsuda Rena's prompting, picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, and began to speak.

"Being able to stand in the Center position for SKG this time is a very rare experience for me. Looking at everyone's expressions and hearing everyone's cheers, I couldn't help but think that it's amazing that I can stand on this stage. There may still be some problems with today's performance, and we will continue to improve in the future. Thank you again for your support today!"

It was a rather polite remark, but it was indeed part of Miyamoto Sei's inner thoughts. After spending several hours practicing, he was still somewhat dissatisfied with what he had achieved. To truly achieve the best results, he would need to undergo a period of training. However, he only needed to perform again tomorrow, and Matsuda Jurina could return the day after tomorrow.

There were some things he didn't dare say, such as "standing in the center and looking at everyone, the feeling is definitely different, and my understanding of my own dance is also deeper." He felt that although he could hear these words without any problem, saying them out loud would give the impression that he was "trying to take Jurina Matsuda's center position."

Even if he didn't mean it that way, others might overthink it, so Miyamoto kept these words to himself.

"That was a great jump!"

"Yes, that was a great jump! Keep it up!"

"If you work this hard, I'll definitely support you!"

Hearing the cheers from the fans below, Miyamoto Sei smiled happily.

He bowed again.

"thank you all!"

……

In the graduate students' dance practice room, a group of people had just finished watching the live performance.

"This... Miyamoto-senpai is standing in the center position like this?!"

"Yeah, that's amazing! They've only been here a short time, and they're already standing in the center position. And it sounds like they'll be performing in the center position again tomorrow!"

"Let me tell you, I went to the dance studio that Miyamoto-senpai supposedly trains in. Honda asked me to clean it up, and guess what I saw when I went in?"

"What do you see? Is it a mess inside?"

"Yeah, what did you see? Tell me already!"

"The ground was completely wet. Not only the ground, but you could also see obvious water stains on the mirror, as if water had been splashed on it in an instant."

"Water was spilled on it, so it looks like urine?!"

"That can't be! Did you accidentally spill the water while drinking it?"

"No, no, it looks more like sweat. The marks on the mirror are probably from the heat, and judging from the obvious scratches, they were clearly caused by a sweaty hand gripping the surface."

The girl continued.

These words left everyone stunned.

"Wait a minute? It's from sweat? She was only in there for half an hour. How could she sweat that much in just half an hour? What kind of training did she do?"

"I don't know, but it must be an incredibly high training volume. I feel like most people could only sweat that much in a day under high-intensity training..."

The group discussed this, while Nanase Touka, who was listening from the side, was dumbfounded, and some strange ideas even popped into her mind.

Is Nana-senpai really that amazing?

She actually completed in half an hour what others do in several hours of training?

This...this is practically inhuman, isn't it?!

No, you can't say that the senior was not human!

That would make him a superman?

Chapter Forty-Three Visits

[I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused my fans due to personal reasons! I hope everyone can support Nana-chan. She's training very hard so as not to disappoint everyone. I heard the dance studio is full of her sweat~]

On Jurina Matsuda's blog, an article appeared, clearly posted by herself, and it even included a photo taken in the hospital.

Although Jurina Matsuda is in the hospital in the photo, she looks like she has a smile on her face and doesn't seem to have any problems at all.

In just a short moment, people started leaving comments below.

Take care of yourself!

[Your health is the most important thing!]

[Nana-chan didn't cause any problems for the team, so Jurina-chan can rest assured and relax!]

[Looking forward to the day you recover and perform!]

After sending the message, Matsuda Jurina breathed a sigh of relief, put her phone aside, and her expression, which had previously seemed perfectly normal, became slightly distorted.

"Oops, I really shouldn't have moved around like that..."

It's obvious that he accidentally aggravated the wound while posing for the photo.

Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.

Matsuda Jurina quickly sat up straight again, cleared her throat, and said, "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Miyamoto Sei walked in. He looked a little nervous. After seeing Matsuda Jurina, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Jurina-chan, how are you feeling?"

"No problem! As the doctor said, I can start exercising again in a couple of days, so I'll be counting on you tomorrow, Nana-chan!"

Matsuda Jurina said with a smile. Seeing her expression, Miyamoto Sei finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that she might have thoughts like "How come someone else took my place?", but now it seemed that he had been overthinking it. Matsuda Jurina was indeed a good person.

Yes, a good younger sister.

"Don't worry, I'll try my best to get your share out tomorrow!"

After Miyamoto finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and put the things in his hands aside.

"I bought some yogurt and stuff, Jurina-chan should be able to drink it, right?"

Yogurt? Thank you!

Seeing the happy Jurina Matsuda, Miyamoto took out the items.

"Besides yogurt, there's also cake and stuff like that. I don't think the doctor said I couldn't eat these, right?"

"No." Seeing what Miyamoto Sei had taken out, Matsuda Jurina's eyes lit up, and she immediately shook her head. "Absolutely not!"
