I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Thinking of this, Nanase Touka reached out and grabbed Miyamoto Sei's arm, hugging her tightly and leaning against her again, whispering, "Nana-chan, Mommy!"

Miyamoto resisted the urge to roll his eyes and gently patted Nanase Touka's head with the one that wasn't caught: "Hey hey hey, my good daughter."

"Hehe!" This made Nanase Touka laugh out loud, and Miyamoto Se also laughed.

……

The train journey from Osaka to Tokyo only takes a little over two hours. After dropping Nanase Fuyuka off at home, Miyamoto quickly went to the Amagai Office. According to the information he obtained by phone, Amagai Risa was at the Amagai Office at that time.

When he arrived at the Tenbei office, Tenbei Risa was indeed still in her office.

Seeing Miyamoto Sei enter, Amagai Risa smiled and asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

“It’s about winter and summer,” Miyamoto Sei immediately said.

Risa Amagai looked at Sei Miyamoto and suddenly laughed: "You've been found out?"

"Cough cough cough!" Miyamoto almost choked. He coughed and looked at Amagai Risa: "How did you know?"

“You seem a bit nervous, so I thought you’d come to me to see how to handle things since you’d been discovered,” Tambirisa said. “But how come she wasn’t exposed?”

“She won’t,” Miyamoto shook his head, then added, “Besides, I didn’t come here to discuss this with you.”

"No, it's not her?" Tambirisa was somewhat surprised. "Then why did you come to see me? Is there anything else related to her?"

“Dongxia dropped out of school in the second year of junior high. Although being an idol can indeed support one, one still needs to continue their studies, right?” Miyamoto Se frowned as she looked at Amagai Risa: “At least graduating from high school will open up many more options for the future.”

Risa Amagai looked at Miyamoto Sei without saying anything, and waited for him to finish speaking.

"It's already January. Dongxia's birthday is in May, and she'll be fifteen soon. The new school term starts in April. Is it possible for her to become a junior high student first?"

"Is this what you're worried about?" Temperi Lisa finally spoke.

Miyamoto nodded: "Yes, I don't expect her to get into university or anything like that, but at least let her finish high school, right? Because of my own reasons, I only went to regular high schools, so I don't know much about the places where idol stars and the like go to school. You should be more familiar with this, so I can only ask you."

"Actually, since you're here, I wanted to ask you something," Tambirisa said. "Did she tell you that after she comes back this time, she's going back to the team's graduate program and ending her part-time job?"

Miyamoto was taken aback, then his eyes widened slightly, his voice filled with surprise: "How could this be? Suddenly you ended your nationwide concurrent posting!"

“This is a trial for her. She is different from you,” Temperisa said. “To her, you are her pillar. Now that she has grown, the pillar needs to be removed so that she can grow on her own. Can you stay with her forever? In the future, you will be rivals.”

Miyamoto fell silent. Amagai Risa was right. Nanase Touka was relying on herself a lot now, but if this continued, it would be depriving the girl of the possibility of independence.

"Besides, I've actually been thinking about this myself. It's not just you; I've also been criticized by other people," Risa Tenbei said with a smile.

"Who said anything about you, Ogiko-senpai?" Miyamoto asked curiously.

"She doesn't think so. She believes that as long as she does well in her idol career, she can learn a lot at SKR. After graduating from SKR, she can naturally continue to develop in other industries. Ms. Nanjo is the one who said that."

Miyamoto blinked: "Nanjo Yoshino?"

"Yes, that's right. Just the day before yesterday, she came directly to my office and told me that she hoped Nanase Touka could go to school normally instead of being busy with idol stuff every day. Of course, her meaning was very simple: now that Nanase Touka has come out of the shadows, she should try to start building normal interpersonal relationships, and school life is also a very important part."

"As expected of Nanjo-san, you're absolutely right!" Miyamoto Sei agreed wholeheartedly, smiling as she said to Amagai Risa, "Amagai-P, I think this suggestion is worth considering!"

"You little brat, believe it or not, I'll make it clear that if you don't get first place in this general election, you'll be swimming naked!"

Miyamoto stepped back, bowed, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I was arrogant. Please don't take it to heart!"

The entire process was completed smoothly.

"Actually, even if she hadn't said anything, I was already prepared. This time, ending my part-time job wasn't just to let her return to the team for graduate studies, but also to let her catch up on what she missed in the second year of junior high. I even found a tutor so she could go straight to the third year of junior high after school starts. As for high school, I've already chosen Horikoshi High School's electronics division."

After Amagai Risa finished speaking, seeing Miyamoto Sei's puzzled look, she knew that the other party had not understood at all, so she could only say, "You don't know this high school?"

Miyamoto nodded: "Yes, I've never heard of it!"

Seeing how confidently the other person was speaking, Risa Amagai shook her head: "Haruka Ayase graduated from here, and the school rules are very strict, prohibiting students from dating."

"Oh, I see." Miyamoto nodded. It was indeed quite strict to not allow dating, something many schools didn't enforce.

"Because it's a school that mainly focuses on celebrities, it's naturally strict in this regard. But most importantly, it's the Electronics Department, which is newly established and allows for remote learning. The graduation requirements are also quite different from those for regular students, making it much simpler."

"Similar to art students?"

"Yeah, something like this."

Miyamoto nodded, relieved. It turned out that Amagai Risa had already prepared everything.

"So I came for nothing?" Miyamoto muttered to himself, but Amagai Risa just smiled and waved for him to leave without saying anything.

After Miyamoto Sei left, she muttered to herself, "It wasn't a wasted trip. At least I learned some information. And I don't plan to report it. So... is it because of love?"

After saying that, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "This is also a necessary part of growth, a part that Horikoshi High School cannot provide. I didn't expect it to be completed so easily."

"So, what will you do next with DJH? They're all your juniors there, a group of people who idolize you. We'll have to wait and see."

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Revisiting an Old haunt

After leaving Amagai Risa's office, Miyamoto sighed. He suddenly understood what was going on with Nanase Touka's unusual behavior during this period.

"She really is... It's a big deal, yet she didn't give me a single word..." Miyamoto muttered softly, feeling both relieved and disappointed. "It feels like my daughter has really grown up... Haha, am I just getting a little attached to her because she's being called 'Mom'?"

Instead of returning home, Miyamoto went to Misaka High School, where he had already graduated.

I stood silently at the school gate, then slowly walked inside. There were no students inside the school at this time, since the holiday had already begun.

Looking at the familiar classroom and the familiar playground, Miyamoto suddenly smiled.

"Suddenly I realize that the hot spring experience at AJS was really great. It made up for all my school trip needs..."

After muttering to himself, Miyamoto turned and left, intending to go to the next place he wanted to go.

Two boys who had come to the school for some unknown reason saw Miyamoto Sei leaving. They were both stunned, and one of them immediately whispered to the other, "Hey?! Look! Isn't that Miyamoto Nana?!"

Another person even wiped their glasses, looked closely, and exclaimed, "It really is Nana Miyamoto! To think we can see an active SKR idol here! What's she doing here?"

"How should I know?! But she looks so amazing, so cute. I wish I had a girlfriend like her..."

"You're dreaming. If you had her as your girlfriend, believe me, those fans would kill you." Another person complained, but then revealed a longing look: "I think having a meal together would be great too. I'll pay for it!"

Both of them were lost in their fantasies, and when they came to their senses, Miyamoto Nana was nowhere to be seen, which made them both beat their chests in frustration.

"Oh! I forgot to ask for an autograph!"

"What a pity! It would be so nice to have an autograph! It would be great to have taken a picture with it!"

Miyamoto had no idea that two people had missed getting his autograph. He continued walking, albeit at a relatively slow pace. When he passed the church, he stopped and looked at it. He recalled the first time he had come here and performed for the people there.

At that time, I was just a graduate student and had only recently become the center.

Now, more than two years have passed, and he has graduated from high school and become a full-time idol.

"Isn't that Miss Miyamoto?!"

A voice suddenly rang out, and Miyamoto turned around to see the priest carrying a bag, looking at him excitedly: "Long time no see!"

"It's been a long time, Father." Miyamoto greeted him immediately. The priest also invited Miyamoto in as he walked in: "Would you like some tea? Or would you like to pray? If you have any worries and need someone to talk to, you can talk to me. I won't tell anyone because of my profession. It's something even God wouldn't allow."

Seeing how enthusiastic the other person was, Miyamoto Sei smiled and shook his head: "No, no need. I'm just revisiting this place. Thank you for your help back then."

“No, no, no, Miss Miyamoto’s performance brought blessings to those newlyweds, which is a wonderful thing. It’s not my help, but just God’s guidance.” Seeing that Miyamoto was not going to come in, the priest continued, “Your performance brought courage, faith and light to many people. God will also bless you. Please continue to do so. I believe you have a bright future!”

"Thank you, Father. I'll be going now."

As Miyamoto Se said goodbye to the priest, a slight smile appeared on her lips. She had never expected that he would still remember her, and what he said confirmed one thing for her once again: his becoming an idol had indeed helped many people.

Even if it's just being a source of emotional support for someone, it's still a very happy thing.

……

Arriving at the SKR Theater, he went inside and headed to the graduate students' training room. Looking inside, he saw Nanase Fuyuka, who should have been at home.

The other party had already changed into their training clothes and were training with the graduate students. Miyamoto was taken aback at first, then smiled.

Without disturbing the other party, he quietly left and went to Team R's training room. Sure enough, Mika Komatsu was inside, standing at the very front, training with the others.

Mika Komatsu shone with a radiance she had never seen before. Miyamoto Sei didn't think he was mistaken. If the former Mika Komatsu was like a light source that completely suppressed others and prevented their brilliance from shining, then now she was a leader who not only shone herself but also illuminated others, and even enabled others to better unleash their own power.

Sure enough, Mika has grown tremendously. She is now perfectly capable of being a center. If she were still in her former graduate student position, then Amagai P would definitely not have let me be the center, because Mika already possesses all the qualities to become an excellent center.

"Ah, Mika-chan is so strict!" After finishing the entire dance, Naoko Asao collapsed onto the ground. "My legs feel completely numb..."

"Everyone, does anyone want anything to drink?" Mai Yasunaga asked at this moment.

Hearing what Yasunaga Mai said, the people who were exhausted and lying on the ground suddenly regained their strength.

"I want to drink oolong tea!"

"I'll have a bottle of milk tea!"

Seeing that everyone suddenly had energy, Yasunaga Mai smiled and said, "I'll go talk to the staff, but everyone should get up first. You can drink it after we finish practicing one more time!"

"Hi……"

A group of people got up from the ground, and at that moment, Yasunaga Mai saw Miyamoto Sei at the door and immediately waved happily.

"Hey, Nana-chan!"

Hearing her voice, the others looked over, and immediately surrounded her upon seeing Miyamoto Sei.
