I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Nanase Touka watched Miyamoto Se leave, hesitated for a moment, clenched her hands, and then quickly walked out as well, following far behind him, trying her best not to be left behind.

……

Miyamoto was walking down the street when suddenly a person came out from around the corner ahead. When he saw the person, Miyamoto was slightly taken aback. It was another person he had met the night before, Yamashita Aya.

When Yamashita Aya saw Miyamoto Sei, her face flushed slightly, but she quickly smiled again.

She glanced behind Miyamoto Sei, then smiled and waved: "Good morning, Fuyuka-chan!"

"Good morning, Yamashita-senpai!" Nanase Touka quickly greeted him, while her mind drifted back to what had happened the night before.

Last night, Yamashita-senpai also came out of the hot spring, and only Nana-senpai was inside at the time... Could something have happened between them? But Yamashita-senpai didn't seem to be acting strangely, so I'm probably just overthinking it...

Just then, she heard Aya Yamashita and Nana Miyamoto talking in front of her.

"Nana-chan, thank you for last night. I thought about what you said, and you were right. I shouldn't have thought about those things. I am who I am, Aya Yamashita. I will continue to work hard for myself and for everyone in AJS, as a girl!"

As Yamashita Aya spoke, a smile spread across her face.

She took a few quick steps forward, then turned around, her smile radiant.

"And it's kind of unbelievable, it feels different when I'm with other people. When I'm with Nana, I feel like being a girl is actually pretty good!"

After saying that, Aya Yamashita herself was slightly taken aback, then her face turned bright red: "Ah, what am I saying?!"

"Cai Jiang?"

Miyamoto blinked, completely surprised that the other person would say that. At this moment, Yamashita Aya was already shaking her head, then stopped.

"I-I'm leaving first!"

They then fled the scene at breakneck speed, not daring to linger.

What kind of development is this?!

Miyamoto was stunned. The first few words were fine, but what did that last sentence mean?! It sounded like a confession!

Moreover, the other person didn't know he was a man and only thought he was a girl...

Wait! I remember Dongxia was still with me!

Miyamoto quickly turned around and saw Nanase Fuyuka walking past him at a very fast pace with her head down, showing no intention of stopping.

"Winter and summer..."

After calling out the other person's name, Nanase Touka's legs quickened even more, rapidly widening the distance before disappearing from sight.

Miyamoto sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He had thought Nanase Touka was doing well, but after Yamashita Aya's words, it seemed there was some misunderstanding now.

……

When they were gathering, Nanase Touka kept avoiding Miyamoto Sei, so Miyamoto Sei didn't bother her. When it was almost time to gather, and everyone set off together, Miyamoto Sei asked her some questions out of curiosity.

"Mr. Gusang, what kind of performance are we going to put on this time?"

"This time it's going to be really tough!" Kosang Shota said with a proud expression. Everyone was in the car, and they didn't know where the car was heading yet. It was clearly not in a town; it could only be somewhere in the mountains. Just as Miyamoto Sei was guessing their destination, Kosang Shota gave the answer. "Standing under an icy waterfall in the cold weather, enduring the cascading water, and taking the challenge of an eight-minute baptism!"

"Standing under a waterfall for eight minutes in this weather?!" Miyamoto Sei's eyes widened. "This is outrageous! Is this some kind of murder?!"

"That's very impressive! That's a great shout!" Kosang Shota immediately praised, then explained, "There won't be any danger. It's eight minutes for all sixteen people combined, not eight minutes for one person. In other words, each person only needs to hold on for thirty seconds."

One person can hold on for thirty seconds, but that doesn't mean one person can actually hold on for thirty seconds... Everyone probably went to bed late last night and didn't get enough rest, so some people might not even be able to hold on for a few seconds...

“It seems you’ve discovered a secret.” Kosang Shota laughed: “Because the time requirement is only eight minutes, as long as the time is up, it counts as ten people completing the task. But if the first fifteen people only have one minute in total, then the last person will have to endure seven minutes of being washed away to complete the task.”

Upon arriving at the scene, filming immediately began. It was a waterfall cascading down from a great height, and the surrounding area was very cold due to the snowfall.

Miyamoto reached out and gently touched the water in the pool; it was icy cold, with a chilling sensation.

Miyamoto didn't know how long he could endure in such cold water. Even if he could, he wouldn't do it. Trying to be strong alone would not only be unfriendly to others, but it would also lead to a fight on the show. Watching the beautiful girl scream and run away from the icy water would be much more entertaining than someone trying to tough it out for eight minutes.

Of course, there are also appealing types of the latter, but they shouldn't be shows where you just stand still and do nothing, like rushing down a waterfall. Instead, they should be shows with high-difficulty action challenges, like ninja challenges.

“You can sign up yourselves, or you can participate in a lottery to see which number you get,” said Kosang Shota.

At this moment, Aya Yamashita stepped forward: "I'll be the first one."

"Okay, the first one down the mountain, any more?"

Miyamoto Seya also stepped forward: "I'll be the last one."

"The last one?" Kosaka Shota said, somewhat surprised.

"Okay, just give me the last one, and I'll take care of the rest for everyone else!" Miyamoto said with a smile.

"Good! Miyamoto's statement is very powerful. It's basically saying, 'Snowy waterfalls are a piece of cake. I can handle it all by myself!'"

"No way! Eight minutes of washing by yourself? That's way too much!" Miyamoto immediately shouted. "It's at most forty seconds, no more than that!"

"Alright, are there any more people who want to sign up themselves? If not, let's just draw lots," said Shota Kosawa.

Nanase Touka watched from behind as Miyamoto Nana went up to register. Seeing her wrapped in a yukata, standing in the snow, she couldn't take her eyes off her.

"Touya-chan, it's your turn to draw lots."

Just then, she heard someone else's voice and Nanase Touka was startled, only then realizing that the lottery team had already come to her side.

"Touka-chan keeps looking at Nana-chan, what are you looking at?" Watanabe Mion asked with a grin.

"N-nothing!" Nanase Fuyuka hurriedly said as she walked forward and drew lots. She grabbed a piece of paper randomly from the box, took it out, and saw that it was the fifth lot.

We absolutely, positively must achieve our goal!

Nanase Touka clenched her hands. At this moment, because of the queue, she was standing at the front. Thinking of Miyamoto Nana who was standing at the back, she silently wondered if the other person was looking at her. She felt that the other person might be looking at her, but she didn't dare to turn around to confirm.

She could only look ahead, watching Yamashita Aya, the first to step into the waterfall, grit her teeth and endure the icy spray.

The words that Yamashita Aya and Miyamoto Nana had spoken that morning flashed through her mind, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"30 seconds!"

"Go for it, Cai-jie!"

"Sister Cai, charge!"

"32 seconds!"

"33 seconds!"

……

Everyone cheered. By the time Nanase Touka realized what had happened, 39 seconds had passed. Yamashita Aya finally couldn't take it anymore and crawled out from under the waterfall.

She was shivering and immediately ran into the crowd. The staff members quickly went up to help her change her clothes.

After a while, she came back and grinned, making a peace sign.

"Hehe, I took off nine seconds more!"

Chapter Ninety: Not Wanting to Admit Defeat

"It's so cold, it's way too cold!"

"Ah, I feel like my whole body is freezing!"

One by one, the girls went up to the bottom of the waterfall, but as time went by, they couldn't hold on any longer and had to retreat.

Some lasted for about twenty seconds, while others lasted for more than thirty seconds.

Finally, it was Nanase Fuyuka's turn.

Nanase Touka took a deep breath and then walked forward.

The moment her feet touched the water, she felt the coldness; the chill crept up her toes and into her body like insects!

It's so cold! Did all those seniors really endure this kind of water? I feel like I couldn't even stand in it for a few seconds without feeling this cold!

Nanase Touka felt the coldness and was shocked by those who could last for more than twenty or thirty seconds. At the same time, she admired them even more.

Nana-senpai, how long can you hold out down here...? She and he chose to be the last to appear, are they planning to take over the rest of the time? Senpai is still so kind...

Nanase Touka thought for a moment, then shook her head, gritted her teeth, and walked forward.

Now is not the time to let my mind wander; I must complete my own task!

Nanase Touka encountered the waterfall, and she felt that the water in the waterfall and the pool below felt completely different. If the water in the pool was icy cold, then the water in the waterfall was bone-chillingly cold. She felt as if countless needles were pricking her body, and the cold seeped into her bones, constantly stimulating her body.

My body was trembling. Even though I had a bathrobe to block the water from washing over me, I still felt the coldness seep into every part of my body.

It's so painful, extremely painful, but this is a TV show, and everyone is persevering like this. If I can't persevere, what kind of growth will I achieve?!

Nanase Touka thought to herself, gritted her teeth and persevered, enduring the biting cold.

Miyamoto looked at Nanase Touka with some concern. Although Nanase's body had undergone several months of high-intensity training and her stamina was good, she was still very young. He was worried about her health after such intense training.

Miyamoto thought that Nanase Touka would give up in about twenty seconds, but now thirty seconds have passed and she is still standing at the bottom of the waterfall!

"It's been 31 seconds!"

"32 seconds!"

"Go, Fuyu-chan!"
