"All are permitted to be transmitted? You mean the highest level?" the girl asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I saw the news about the unauthorized transmission. It was published in the newspaper. However, some people say it was just acting, and that they rehearsed beforehand, which is why they were in such good form."

Another person spoke at this time.

"It shouldn't be. These prank shows are all for real. Well, the props are fake, of course, but they don't tell the prank victim beforehand. So Nana-chan must have really taken the weapon." Miyamoto Yukiko said with some dissatisfaction, "And that speed, even if there was rehearsal, is something that most people couldn't do. Even the police acknowledge that."

"But for an idol to have this level of strength, she's not a police officer or a soldier, isn't that just too exaggerated?"

“Go watch her in ‘The Demon Slayer’ for yourself. There are no stunt doubles, and almost all the fight scenes are done in one take without any speeding up. If you don’t believe me, there are also behind-the-scenes clips. She is the successor of the Ancient Flow Sword Technique. Although she is very powerful, it is at least possible for her to have this level of skill, because my brother is at a similar level,” said Yukiko Miyamoto.

Seeing that she had used her own brother as proof, the others immediately dared not say anything, but they still had some disbelief in their hearts.

Chapter 80, Naniwa 48 Program

Miyamoto received the script on his fourth day at AJS, a few days before Friday.

He was also present at the show, along with Nanase Touka. Opposite him was the show's producer, a man who looked to be in his thirties named Kosawa Shota.

"You actually prepared so much content?" Miyamoto Sei looked at the few pages and was slightly surprised.

“After all, it’s a program that’s more than half an hour long. Half the time is devoted to interviews, and the other half to the crucial questions.” Kosang Shota smiled.

"Can you tell me what questions they'll be asking on the show 'Fatal Questions'?" Miyamoto asked casually, but Kosuke Shota just shook his head. "I can't say. Actually, I don't know either, because we probably won't know the specific questions until the day the show is about to be recorded."

"That long?"

"Yeah, I guess we'll find out by Friday morning." Kosang Shota said, then turned to Miyamoto Sei and said, "Miyamoto-san and Nanase-san, if you think there are any problems with the script, you can tell me. But we can't change everything; we need to discuss it further."

Miyamoto looked at the script and found that it was very detailed, even mentioning what kind of expression to make when speaking. In other words, variety shows also have their own scripts.

For example, these question-and-answer sessions, these dialogues, clearly have their own script.

However, there might be some changes, such as the host or guests asking questions that differ from the script.

This sometimes happens in order to boost the show's ratings, but it's relatively rare. Most people prefer to perform directly according to the script.

Miyamoto and Nanase quickly read through the script, then exchanged a glance to confirm that there were no problems before saying to Kosuke Shouta, "The script is fine and doesn't need any changes."

"That's great. You have four days. Try your best to memorize the script during these four days. Although we can provide a teleprompter, memorizing it will make your expressions and other aspects more realistic."

After discussing some things related to the program, Kosuke Shota finally left, while Miyamoto Sei and Nanase Touka also embarked on their journey back to the theater.

"I never thought I'd have to memorize things after leaving school..." Nanase Touka muttered, almost leaning against Miyamoto Sei.

Miyamoto moved his body slightly to ease the discomfort of his arm being pressed down, and then laughed, "Memorizing lyrics is memorizing them too, it's about the same, right?"

“It’s different, senior. Memorizing lyrics can be considered a hobby, and you can just follow the rhythm. But these things feel like I’m reciting history lessons…” Nanase Touka complained. “Luckily, I’m only part-time at AJS. If I were to stay at AJS all the time, I feel like I wouldn’t be able to stand it.”

"So you prefer physical training to memorizing these things?"

"No way!" Nanase Touka immediately retorted to Miyamoto Se: "I just feel that I already have so much physical training, and having to memorize these things is not as good as just physical training. At least it can give my brain a little relaxation."

She muttered something to herself as she said this.

"Although it doesn't feel that much different, after all, you still have to memorize the lyrics, and you also need to remember the dance moves..."

Seeing that Nanase Touka looked a little tired, Miyamoto Se chuckled: "Do you need me to continue making you coffee starting tomorrow?"

Upon hearing the word "coffee," Nanase Touka immediately perked up: "N-No, thank you. I'm perfectly fine, Nana-senpai!"

Although Nana-senpai's cooking is delicious and she usually makes some nice drinks, please spare me the coffee!

Coffee won't do, absolutely not!

Nanase Touka thought to herself.

Seeing the other party's strong reaction, Miyamoto smiled happily: "Alright then, as long as you can complete the task well, then coffee is fine too."

"Phew..." Hearing this, Nanase Touka finally breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a few words, right? I'll definitely memorize them in the next few days, senpai!"

In order to avoid drinking coffee, Nanase Touka decided that she must work hard these next few days, and that's how she made up her mind.

……

Friday, Namba 48 program.

Nana Miyamoto and Touka Nanase were sitting in the studio, with the host sitting opposite them.

As an opening, this naturally involves conversation-like content.

"Ms. Miyamoto Nana and Ms. Nanase Fuyuka, I'm sure everyone is already familiar with these two, since they left a deep impression on everyone during the last program." The host said with a smile, "They were supposed to be the ones being pranked, but in the end, the program team became the ones being pranked. Miyamoto-san's strength was astonishing, and Nanase-san was also very good at cooperating, so our inside man, Yamashita-san, couldn't even go all out."

"No, that's not true. I was just scared, that's why I wouldn't let go of Yamashita-senpai!" Nanase Touka said, her face showing lingering fear as she followed the script. "I really didn't expect this to be a prank show!"

"I never expected to be pranked on the train. It's really unexpected. Osaka is truly a city that brings laughter." Miyamoto Nana recited the script smoothly, as if she were saying it herself. "Now that I think about it, there were indeed some flaws. But because of the urgency of the situation, I didn't notice them when I was there."

"Flaws? It seems we still need to work harder to carefully study these flaws and improve our prank skills!" the host said, before moving on to the interview segment.

"By the way, I heard that when Miyamoto-san first stepped onto the stage, he told the audience that he was a boy. Is that true?"

"Yes," Miyamoto Nana nodded, "it was during the ninth generation graduate student performance."

"Is this the ninth generation of trainees' performance? Why would you say something like that? Is Miyamoto-san really a boy?" the host continued, a question that wasn't in the script and had clearly attracted a lot of attention.

The audience members present and those watching on television were all eager to see how Miyamoto Nana would respond.

Although Miyamoto Nana knew it was a surprise question for the sake of the show, she remained calm. She even smiled slightly at the camera again, then tilted her head and chuckled.

Actually, he's a boy!

This action caused everyone in the audience to burst into laughter, and the host immediately retorted.

"Wait, wait! You're not acting like a boy at all! If you were a boy, lots of girls would cry. This is so hurtful!"

"Can't it be a cute boy?"

The host was both amused and exasperated, and the group of AJS members watching from the back also burst into laughter.

"So cute!"

"Nana-chan is so cute right now!"

"It's okay, Nana-chan. Aya is a boy too. You're both boys!"

"Aya is more like a boy, while Nana is a complete girl."

"Why are you starting to talk about me?" Aya Yamashita protested.

This made the scene even more lively, and the atmosphere became even more vibrant.

"Hahaha, Cai really got shot!"

"It's okay, Cai, we'll call you sister! Sister Cai!"

In just a short while, the atmosphere became incredibly lively. Backstage, producer Shota Kosawa was also very excited. She stared at the screen, carefully watching every second to prevent any accidents from happening.

The host then asked the next question.

"By the way, I've seen quite a few people online calling you 'Wrench.' What's your opinion on that, Miyamoto-san?"

This is another question that wasn't in the script, but it's definitely one I can answer on my own, and it's sure to attract a lot of attention.

Miyamoto Nana secretly analyzed and studied the thought process behind this question, while also answering aloud.

"Of course it doesn't matter. If everyone says that, it means they think we have a good relationship," Miyamoto Nana said with a smile. "And we really do have a good relationship. We are all good friends. Most importantly, this can bring joy to our fans. I think that's already great."

"Is that how it is? Because we're all good friends, we don't really care about that kind of talk, is that what you mean?" The host smiled at this point: "Or are you saying that everyone is your wings?"

"I didn't say that, okay?!"

"Yes, I understand. We are all Miyamoto-san's wings!"

"No way! That's slander!" Miyamoto Nana immediately shouted, "Too many wings will get tangled!"

The audience burst into laughter again.

"Too many wings will get tangled up—that's definitely today's famous saying!"

"I didn't expect Nana-chan to give such an answer. So, are you worried that having too many pairings will cause trouble?"

Backstage at the show, a group of people were working busily.

"The ratings are rising; they've increased by one percentage point!"

The staff member who had been monitoring the real-time data couldn't help but report in a low voice.

"Very good, keep watching!" said Kosang Shota, while secretly sighing in his heart.

In just a few minutes, it has increased by 1 percentage point compared to usual. This Miyamoto Nana is really amazing. She seems very suitable for developing in the variety show field. Her answers to the few unscripted questions were also very good, interesting, and did not cause any problems. It seems that SKR is going to have another variety show expert.

After asking Miyamoto Nana, they naturally started asking Nanase Touka. Although there were some questions without a script, they weren't too difficult and were clearly carefully selected.

As the interview concluded, the host excitedly announced the next segment of the program.

"Today we've prepared a fun game for Nana Miyamoto, who's currently working part-time at AJS after coming from SKR Team S!" she said, waving her hand. A man then walked out: "First, please welcome our special guest for today, Mr. Yamato Osaki from the Metropolitan Police Department!"

The person who came out greeted everyone, and she was carrying a box, which was quickly placed on the table.

"This device was provided by the Metropolitan Police Department—a high-tech lie detector! Now, let's ask Professor Osaki Sanjin, how accurate is this lie detector?"

"Up to 99.99%, it can accurately sense the pulse of the subject and then deduce the subject's psychological state," Osaki Sanjin immediately said.

Miyamoto Nana looked at the lie detector with some wariness and took a small step back.

"I think you guys are planning to mess with me again!"
