"Senior, the water is here!"

It was as if she hadn't heard anything at all.

Nanase Touka placed the teacup in front of Miyamoto Sei and looked at her grandfather: "Grandpa, have you had dinner yet?"

“I’ve eaten. I eat much more on time than you,” the old man said with a grin, prompting Nanase Touka to immediately retort, “No, I never skip meals…”

But her voice trailed off as she spoke, clearly indicating that she lacked confidence when she said this.

"As for you two, have you eaten? If not, I can go and get you something."

"I ate, I ate in the car on the way back," Nanase Touka quickly said. "Besides, Grandpa, you should rest. I'll get something if you get hungry!"

"Those fast food meals?"

"Fast food is still food! And its nutritional value isn't a big problem!"

The old man's smile never faded as he watched his granddaughter protest again. Her return made him very happy, and perhaps it was her reaction that made him feel good.

"Alright, alright, I'll go rest now. You all should get some rest too." The old man said, and finally returned to his bedroom under his granddaughter's urging. Nanase Touka was silent for a while before turning to Miyamoto Sei and saying, "Senpai, I'll go get the blankets."

“Okay.” Miyamoto nodded. After watching the girl leave, he looked around the room again. Then he saw a door that wasn’t completely closed. The house seemed to be quite small, and he didn’t know what was inside.

With a curious glance, he saw two photos in the small room. The photos showed a young man and a young woman, which was not unusual. However, the photos were black and white, and there were pictures of flowers and fragrance below them.

Upon seeing this, Miyamoto immediately understood what was going on.

There is only one elderly person in the family, and the only person the elderly person is worried about is Nanase Fuyuka. So Nanase Fuyuka's only relative now is her grandfather. Maybe there are some distant relatives, but at least in this area, it is the grandfather and granddaughter who depend on each other for survival.

Miyamoto was silent for a moment, wondering whether he should indicate that he already knew or pretend not to know for the time being. In the end, when he saw the girl walking out with the blanket and looking so cautious, he decided to pretend not to know for the time being.

It's best to wait until the other person is willing to talk about these things.

He carried the blanket to the empty room, and Miyamoto Sei went in with him. After spreading out the sheets and blankets, he saw Nanase Touka looking at him and asking, "Senpai, would you like something to eat?"

Thinking about what the old man had said, Miyamoto Sei smiled and asked, "Fast food?"

"Yes, that's right..." She nodded, a little embarrassed. "But there are quite a few flavors, including instant noodles and self-heating meals!"

Seeing that the other party said that, Miyamoto Se did not refuse and nodded, saying, "That's good. I haven't eaten fast food in a long time. It would be nice to have some again today."

Then he saw Nanase Fuyuka's food reserves.

A box of instant noodles and more than ten different flavors of self-heating rice, plus more than a dozen cans of soda in the refrigerator—seeing this, Miyamoto couldn't help but admire the other party.

This is what a true homebody is all about!

Finally, Miyamoto chose a bowl of curry-flavored instant noodles. Just as Nanase Touka said, the nutrition was indeed not a big problem. The large chunks of potatoes and beef in it were several times more than the beef in the ramen she ate in her previous life.

As the aroma of curry spread across her taste buds, Miyamoto let out a happy sound.

"Mmm~ This feels so good. Sometimes having instant noodles is such a treat!"

"Senior? Is this something an idol can say?" Nanase Touka asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it can even bring you closer to your fans!" Miyamoto gave a thumbs up: "This is what it means to be down-to-earth. Eating fancy food every day would make fans feel that the distance between us is too great."

Miyamoto said, then thought for a moment, "But the food I usually cook is pretty home-style, not fancy. Most people could make it."

"Senior...I feel like you're talking about me..."

Seeing Nanase Touka's dejected expression, Miyamoto patted her shoulder gently: "It's okay, you'll learn slowly. It's very simple. Generally speaking, as long as you don't mix up the sugar and salt, and you control the heat, the result shouldn't be too bad."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "But if you're still worried, you can prepare the materials in advance. For example, take out the salt and other necessary items beforehand, and you can even weigh them first. That way, there won't be any problems!"

Nanase Touka nodded, indicating that she understood, but she quickly raised a new question.

"So what if the recipe says one spoonful of salt, one spoonful of sugar, etc.? How many grams is that?"

Miyamoto was silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "When you are learning in the early stages, you can ignore the recipes that do not have precise instructions. Use the recipes with precise instructions to determine what level of saltiness and sweetness your taste buds can accept before analyzing how much a spoonful actually is."

However, despite saying that, Miyamoto still felt that Nanase Touka should have no problem with the basics of cooking, because Japan has home economics classes, and students start learning about planting, cooking and other skills from elementary school. In other words, the basics are already covered in elementary school.

After finishing her meal, Miyamoto went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. Nanase Fuyuka got up and hesitated for a moment before going to the room with the photos. Looking at the photos of the two of them under the dim light, she bowed slightly.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back... I did well in Nagoya, everything was fine. Although I caused some trouble for my seniors, they all forgave me. They're all very kind people. And, as expected, the feeling on stage is really captivating..."

"I brought Nana-senpai back today. She's very kind and willing to help me. She's also very tolerant of my flaws. I feel like I've suddenly gained a real elder..."

"Oh, right, Dad, Mom, I got my salary! Your daughter has earned her first pot of gold through her own hard work! She earned nearly 700,000 yuan in just two months! Hehe, isn't that amazing?"

……

"Nana-chan!"

The next day, as soon as Miyamoto arrived at the theater, he was slapped in the face. Miyu Anagami practically pounced on him. Feeling the force of the impact, Miyamoto could only try to steady himself to avoid being pushed away.

"long time no see!"

"Yeah, long time no see." Miyamoto smiled and patted the other person on the back: "Alright, get down first."

"No, I need to replenish my idol energy first. It's been so long since I've seen Nana-chan. I need to replenish a lot this time!" Miyu's voice came from just behind her ear, as the other person was still hugging her.

Listening to the girl's words, Miyamoto suddenly remembered the past, the time when he and Nagasu Miyu spent the night at Komatsu Mika's house.

That night, the girl said something similar, such as that he was her idol, so that by contacting him she could gain idol energy.

Back then, she seemed so fragile, but now she can stand on her own in unfamiliar environments.

Pulling her thoughts out of her memories, Miyamoto asked quietly about the other person's recent situation: "By the way, how are you doing at Team K?"

"Sakura-senpai is so nice, she took good care of me, and going to Team K was definitely the right choice. I really learned a lot of things there that I didn't know before." Miyu Nagayasu finally let go of his hand, her smile spreading across her face. "I've been keeping an eye on Nana-chan's situation in Nagoya too. She has a 99% approval rating. She's done something surprising again, as expected of Nana-chan!"

After some time apart, Miyu Nagaan was still the same Miyu Nagaan, appearing gentler but also more open than before. At this moment, she shone with her own unique radiance.

"You're back." The words were rather casual. Mika Komatsu approached, smoothing her bangs slightly with her right hand. Standing before Miyamoto Sei, she said with a slightly provocative expression, "I'm Team R's Center now!"

"Yes, yes, you're Team R's Center, you're really amazing." Miyamoto said absentmindedly, looking the other person up and down, which made the other person take a step back: "W-what are you looking at?!"

"I'm wondering if the cute Mika is a bit too much of a shock to the fans."

"N-no..." Just as she was about to retort, Mika Komatsu immediately realized her mistake and changed her words, "That's a must! You wait and see in this general election, I'm going to make it to the Kami 8!"

Her expression was full of challenge and she seemed incredibly confident.

"You'd better watch out, your opponent isn't just the original Shenzhou-8, but also me!"

"Okay, then let's see who's better on stage!"

“You two are still in the same relationship.” Miyu Nagasu laughed from the side.

“That’s right, there’s almost no change. I thought Nana-chan would have changed a lot, but she’s still the same as before.” As she said this, Shimada Yurina, a former graduate student and now a member of Team 4, walked out. Others came out with her, including Kojima Haruka.

Clearly, they were all there to see Miyamoto Sei.

"Remember to come to the dorm tonight, we've prepared hot pot!"

"Yeah, let's have a big meal tonight!"

Just as everyone was saying this, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Qi Nana!"

"Senior Nan!"

Miyamoto looked at the small figure that appeared at the door, and the first thing that caught his eye was the iconic bow tie. It was the former captain of Team S, now the general manager, Minami Sakagami.

"Rehearsal will start soon, don't be late!"

"Yes, senior, I'll be right there!" Miyamoto nodded, immediately said goodbye to everyone, and headed towards Team S's dance studio.

Seeing him leave immediately, the group of people felt quite helpless.

"Ah, just like before, you get all high as soon as you talk about training."

"After all, this is the real Nana-chan!"

"I'll go check what we should have for dinner. I'll buy more beef and pork, especially pork, since it's cheaper."

"Beef is quite cheap, why don't you buy Wagyu instead? Why don't you buy some imported beef?"

"I want crab meat, crab meat!"

"Don't you choose any vegetables? It's all meat??"

"Vegetables like bean sprouts are fine, they're super cheap and taste good, but I really want to eat meat!"

"Then I'll order some vegetables, like some lettuce, some cucumber to cut the grease, and maybe some quail eggs too."

Quail eggs? Are those vegetables?!

For a moment, everyone was talking about what they wanted to eat, creating a lively atmosphere.

Chapter Fifty-Eight: My Sister

"sister!"

The sudden shout startled Miyamoto Sei. Although she had been called "older sister" before, this was the first time she had been called "older sister-sama".

Moreover, it was quite obvious who was calling out to him; it was the same person who had always called him "sister."

Hikari Watanabe.

When Watanabe saw Miyamoto Sei arrive at the dance studio, he came up to him, grabbed his arm, and smiled happily.
