I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Maybe it's just her true self? A socially awkward newbie and her carefree senior."

……

After the high-five event, backstage, Nanase Touka bowed deeply to everyone.

"I'm so sorry for causing everyone so much trouble this time!"

"That's fine, we've seen your answer." Jurina Matsuda smiled.

"Saw it?" Nanase Touka was taken aback, not realizing when she had answered.

“We’ve all seen you on stage. From now on, you’re not just a person, but someone with your own fans.” Miyamoto said at this moment, “They are fans who know what you look like, know your voice, have seen your dance, and support you. From now on, you can also call yourself the idol Nanase Fuyuka.”

"From now on, I'll also be an idol, Nanase Fuyuka..."

She murmured to herself, and when she talked about her idol, her tone became somewhat excited. Perhaps it was because she was standing on the stage that she suddenly felt that the word "idol" had more meaning than the glamorous image she had once admired; it now carried a burden.

"It's decided! Today, Dongxia-chan successfully completed her 'First Heart,' so let's go eat barbecue together!" Matsuda Jurina suddenly said.

"Huh? Is it that sudden?"

"Yes, it was a very sudden decision."

Jurina Matsuda continued, "That's great! I'll talk to Mr. Honda and see if we can get some funding!"

"Huh? Really? Then I'm going!"

"I am coming too!"

Seeing everyone so happy, Nanase Touka wondered if she should refuse, when she heard Miyamoto Sei's whisper in her ear.

"You're the main character, you know. If you don't go, no one else can go either."

She turned her head slightly and saw Miyamoto Sei smiling at her.

"senior……"

"And if we go out for barbecue, we won't need to train tonight, right?" Miyamoto said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Nanase Touka immediately nodded: "I'll go too!"

His tone suddenly became much firmer, and it was filled with the presence of courage.

Going out for barbecue means no training tonight! That's fantastic! Finally, I can get some proper rest!

Nanase Touka's eyes welled up with tears at this moment. After more than a week of hard work, her body could finally get a chance to breathe.

Chapter 51 Exposure

[An unexpected development: besides Nana Miyamoto, there was another trainee who was part-time with SKR nationwide. This trainee had never appeared in a trainee performance before, yet she joined Nana Miyamoto on the stage as a full member.]

[A disastrous move? Why would Risa Amagai allow a graduate student who has never performed on stage before to participate in a national competition alongside Nana Miyamoto? Is it due to aging and senility? Or is it arrogance stemming from her past victories?]

[SKR was scared, so they sent someone who had never performed on a graduate student stage to the official stage, clearly indicating they had no one else available.]

The next morning, Miyamoto looked at the entertainment news and couldn't help but chuckle.

This eye-catching writing style is indeed common in many places. The title makes it seem like SKR is about to disappear, but in reality, the content is all fluff and has no substance. It's ridiculous that someone with this level of skill is trying to run a self-media platform.

As for that girl, Risa Amagai, she's the most cunning and treacherous person Miyamoto has ever met, both in his past and present lives. It's better to hope she gets into trouble than to hope he wins the lottery.

"senior……"

Nanase Touka's somewhat deep voice came from behind Miyamoto Sei. She was still wearing her pajamas and looking at her phone, clearly having also seen the news.

Am I... am I really that bad?

"I think you should ask the audience members at the scene. You can just search for information about yourself on forums."

"My forum?!" Nanase Touka asked in surprise, "I... I have a personal forum?!"

"Yes, there is. A forum was set up in a flash. There's even a special section on 2ch. I saw that although there aren't many people there, it's quite lively. They're all saying things like you're cute, your performance is great, and you sing very well. These are all your fans."

"But...but what about those doubts..."

Miyamoto turned around and looked down slightly at the other person.

“These are your fans who support you. You can’t let them down now, and you’ll have more and more fans in the future. The fact that you have their support speaks volumes about your abilities.” Miyamoto said, scrolling down: “Look, let’s leave aside the answers below that are obviously from their own people. The more normal answers are all skeptical.”

"Suspect?"

"Well, after all, many people haven't seen your performance yet, so they're skeptical for now. As for those who have seen your performance, they say you performed very well and trained very hard. Fans will see your efforts. You trained hard, but even if you failed, they won't criticize you."

Miyamoto said, then turned back to continue preparing breakfast: "Besides, you not only worked hard, but you also succeeded and gave them a great performance. Be confident. Those who support you are a group of people who paid money to come and watch the show in person. Trust them."

"Okay, senpai, I understand!" Nanase Touka nodded, her mood instantly improving. She happily put her phone aside and said, "I'm going to take a shower now!"

"Hurry up, breakfast is almost ready."

"Yes!"

Watching Nanase Touka excitedly run into the bathroom, Miyamoto Sei shook his head with a smile.

It seems that going on stage yesterday was very exciting for her, because she got up on her own today without much prompting.

Oh right, I need to check if my sister has sent any messages and reply to her.

Miyamoto suddenly remembered something, put the fried eggs he had prepared into a plate, then walked to the side and picked up his backpack to search.

Upon searching, his expression changed slightly; he couldn't find his phone!

Wait a minute, I usually keep my phone in my backpack!

Miyamoto's mind raced as he tried to recall where he had put his phone. Finally, he remembered that he had put it in his pocket temporarily while looking at some news, and the pocket was now in the bathroom!

He immediately looked towards the bathroom, but the sound of running water could be heard from inside. It was clear that Nanase Touka was taking a shower, so he couldn't go in at this time!

……

Nanase Touka was humming a song and happily taking a bath when she heard a low vibration coming from the side.

"Hmm? Senpai's phone? But isn't it outside?" Nanase Touka asked, puzzled. She walked over to where Miyamoto Nana's clothes were, and the vibration was indeed coming from there.

After drying his hands, he gently picked up the clothes and found a cell phone inside. Unlike the usual pink cell phones, this one was black.

The senior has two cell phones?

One is for work, and the other is for daily life, right?

Nanase Touka thought for a moment, then picked up her phone, intending to give it to Miyamoto Nana.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw the message displayed on the lock screen.

[Brother, I went to your rented apartment to hang out, since it's closer. By the way, when are you going to find a girlfriend? You're already college age!]

Nanase Touka stood there dumbfounded, feeling as if a bolt of lightning had struck her on the head.

What's happening here?

elder brother?

Is this message referring to the older brother? Is it about Nana-senpai?

But Nana-senpai is a woman!

Is this some new kind of "play"? Like calling someone "brother" instead of "sister"? But why does it mention finding a girlfriend later? Nana-senpai is definitely a lesbian!

But, isn't this a bit too far-fetched?!

Nanase Touka stared blankly at the message, her mind racing, feeling as if her brain was about to explode, completely unable to understand what was going on.

Finally, after all the information had been swirling around frantically for a long time, Nanase Touka finally got an answer in her mind.

Yes, Nana-senpai is actually a girl who sees herself as a boy. After all, she said she was a boy before. Her younger brother or sister calls her "brother" to take care of her feelings. Because she sees herself as a boy, she actually likes girls!

As expected of me, Nanase Fuyuka, I could be a detective!

Nanase Touka wore a forced smile.

Even she herself found this reason hard to accept.

What to do? Pretend I don't know? I guess I'll just have to pretend I don't know! I'll put the phone back for now...

Besides, no matter how you look at her, she's definitely a girl, she couldn't possibly be a boy!

In the end, Nanase Touka chose to return the phone the way it came and lay down in the bathtub, but her mind was still struggling to calm down.

What if the senior colleague is actually a man? What then?

This idea popped into my head involuntarily.

Chapter 52 Stress Response

When Nanase Touka came out of the washroom, she saw Miyamoto Nana already sitting at the dining table. When she saw her come out, she smiled at her.

"Breakfast is ready, you can eat now."

“Yes, senpai.” Nanase Fuyuka nodded, looking at the other person’s appearance, movements, and temperament, Nanase Fuyuka once again confirmed her thoughts.

There's absolutely no way she's a boy. If she were a boy, then this world is just too strange!
