I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Suddenly, several conversations popped up, all in a private chat channel set up by the group. Nanase Touka smiled as she saw everyone's worried expressions and replied to each one.

[My part-time job is over, and no one bullied me. Everyone was very friendly, whether it was my seniors from SKG or AJS. They were all very kind and gave me a lot of help. I'm sorry for making everyone worry.]

[It's good that you're alright!]

[It's so wonderful to be able to perform with Nana-chan! I really want to perform with Nana-chan too!]

[Okay, we all know you're a fan of Nana Miyamoto these past few days.]

[Hehe, but don't worry, Meow-chan, I'll promote you too!]

Another string of words popped up, and at that moment, the ID named Yui, also known as Nanjo Yoshino, sent a message.

[Meow-chan, have you considered retaking the course?]

Seeing that the other party had asked her a question, Nanase Touka typed out her thoughts.

[Thank you, Yui-chan. Amagai P told me that you and Nana-chan went to see her one after the other, and they both said the same thing. I thought about it, and I really should try going back to school. Because I'm not the same person I used to be. If I faced those people from before, I'd probably be more natural and at ease.]

After posting this, Nanase Touka laughed and muttered, "I feel like I've been to a mental hospital for treatment. Is SKR considered a hospital?"

Meanwhile, Nanjo Yoshino, who was playing games at home, was slightly taken aback when she saw Nanase Touka's answer.

"Did Miyamoto also go to talk to Amagai Risa about this?" she muttered to herself, a smile appearing on her face. "Looking at it this way, I can rest assured that there won't be any major problems."

[By the way, have you decided which school you want to go to? Now you need to consider the distance between the school and the theater, since you can't live on campus anymore.]

Nanase Touka didn't hide anything and told him the plan directly.

[They said they'd first provide remedial classes, and once those were nearly finished, they'd start studying the junior high curriculum in April. If they did well and passed the exam, they could directly enter high school; otherwise, they'd focus on mastering the junior high curriculum and then go to high school next year. The school they mentioned was Horikoshi High School, because they could provide remote learning if necessary.]

[It's Horikoshi High School? That's great!]

[Horikyo High School is a good school, and quite a few people who aspire to be idols and actors probably study there. You might even meet some celebrities!]

[Wow, this is awesome! I suddenly regret choosing this high school.]

Nanase Touka smiled as she listened to these people's words, and clearly, the person who uttered the last sentence was immediately surrounded and attacked.

[Riko, stop talking! You got into Sakurami Academy!]

[Yes, it's a girls' high school with a deviation score of 78. Although it can't be directly compared because of the differences between high school and university studies, it's still a high school that can get many students into the University of Tokyo!]

[If you had to choose between Horikoshi High School and Sakurami Academy, most people would definitely choose Sakurami Academy!]

This prompted Riko, the character played by Yukiko Miyamoto, to immediately shout: "[Because I want to perform with Nana-chan! If I go to Horikoshi High School, I'll have a chance to work together!]"

[Then you might as well participate in an idol audition, but you probably wouldn't do that now, right?]

[After all, Riko was the one who boldly declared she would get into the University of Tokyo.]

Yukiko Miyamoto immediately followed up with, "[By the way, Nyan-chan, I'm asking about some inside information, but not the kind that's confidential. So, Nana-chan has finished her part-time job and is back, right? Will she be participating in Team S's next performance?]"

[I'm not sure. The senior is indeed training with Team S after returning, but there's no word yet that they'll be participating in a performance. They're still waiting for notification to leave for DJH. Everything depends on the management's arrangements.]

After finishing her post, Nanase Fuyuka thought for a moment and added: "[However, Nana-senpai will definitely get performance opportunities soon, because she's so amazing. She was a substitute in the center position at SKG, and quickly became one of the lead dancers in the front row at AJS. She also has no problem with variety shows. There's definitely nothing to worry about with her!"]

[Really? It seems Nyan-chan trusts Nana-chan a lot. Nana-chan accompanied Nyan-chan last time, and now everyone's saying they're like mother and daughter, haha!]

[Now that you mention it, I do remember that saying; it does exist, between mother and daughter.]

[Is there such a saying? The two people aren't that far apart in age, are they?]

Nanase Touka blushed slightly as she looked at what the group was saying, but she still managed a smile.

[I did call her "Mom," and although Nana-senpai was a little resistant, she eventually accepted it. Senpai is a very kind person.]

[Is it really true?]

[I can't believe Nana-chan actually got called "Mom"!]

Clearly, this kind of firsthand information about idols is extremely attractive to gossip lovers, and this kind of information, which is not a serious secret, is also a great spice for everyone.

But at that moment, Nanase Touka suddenly saw Riko say something, and that thing caught her attention.

[By the way, Nana-chan actually looks a lot like my brother and sister!]

[Yeah?!]

[You also happen to be a fan of Nana, isn't that wonderful?]

[No, my heart belongs only to Nana, not to anyone else. Meal replacements are not an option!]

As Nanase Touka watched the group chat, her heart raced and her hands trembled slightly. She immediately typed out a message.

[It's not surprising that they look alike, but they also look like your brother. Are your brother and sister twins?]

[My older brother and sister are twins. My sister is the oldest, then my brother, and I'm the youngest. I'm quite a bit younger than both of them.] Yukiko Miyamoto wrote: [However, Nana-chan is much more feminine than my brother, and her hair is longer, unlike my brother's short hair. Indeed, if my sister were a little taller, she would probably look more like Nana-chan.]

These few simple words conveyed a great deal of information to Nanase Touka.

The height was specifically mentioned, meaning that Riko's older sister is shorter than her brother. Although the length of her hair can help identify the character, this world has extremely realistic wigs. The senior has so many fake props on him, but when combined, they make him indistinguishable from the real thing.

Could it be that Nana-senpai is actually Riko's brother? But as her brother, how come he wasn't recognized during their close encounter last time?

No, if we initially believed they weren't the same person, and given the various subtle differences, wouldn't we be completely deceived over time?

However, we still need to confirm the specific details.

Thinking of this, Nanase Touka asked with curiosity and excitement.

[Riko-chan, is your brother a university student now?]

[My brother didn't go to university. He said he'd take advantage of the internship opportunity to learn everything related to film first, since he managed to get a job with a film director. But because of that, he's very busy now, and the last time we saw each other was more than two months ago.]

Are you that busy?

Are young people these days really this hardworking? I feel the pressure!

[However, pursuing one's ideals certainly fills one with motivation!]

Two months ago? Two months ago, wasn't that right around the time her concurrent stint with SKG ended? Nanase Touka could hardly contain her excitement. A thought popped into her head: Nana-senpai is most likely Riko-chan's brother; her director job is just an excuse to hide the fact that she's an idol!

I never expected it to turn out like this!

But if I manage to win over my senior, then Riko will become my little sister, won't she?!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Divination

“This is a very famous tarot reading. I’ve heard that this master’s divination skills are very strong, and many people say that his predictions are incredibly accurate,” Sakagami Minami said to Shiigishi Minami beside her.

"Eh? Really?" Shigishi Minami looked at her companion with some surprise. Besides Sakagami Minami, there was also another member of no3b, Asuka Rina.

"Because Mimi-chan only turned 20 on November 15th last year, and she's only been an adult for a few months, the production team specially made this to let you predict your future fortune. Besides everyone enjoying watching it, we also hope you can think carefully about your future plans," Asuka Rina added from the side.

"But don't you guys think it's kind of scary to suddenly go for a fortune telling? If the fortune reading is bad, it feels like your life is going to be ruined for a while," Shiigaki Minami said softly, sounding somewhat resistant but also expectant, a very contradictory expression.

"Just a quick test would be fine. Getting a master like that to do it would cost a lot of money. It's pretty good that the production team stepped in this time, isn't it?" Sakagami Minami said.

“That’s true.” Shiigan Minami nodded, and then the group followed the program crew to where the fortune teller was.

The fortune teller looked quite young. Although he was male, he had long, slightly curly hair on both sides, wore a top hat, and was dressed in a long, all-black robe, which made him look very mysterious.

"Please give me some advice!"

After the three people went in, they greeted each other, but the fortune teller seemed very silent, and didn't even look at the three people, only staring at the table in front of him.

"I'm so nervous..." Shiigishin whispered, "The atmosphere feels so intense, like I'm a puppet."

The fortune teller looked around and gently shook his head. At that moment, Shiigan Minami whispered to the fortune teller, "I came here today hoping you can do a divination."

"Understood." The fortune teller said, gently waving his hand above the tarot cards on the red-clothed table. "Do you want to divine for everyone?"

“No, please tell us about Shiigashi Minami, who has just turned 18.” Sakagami Minami said from the side, while Asuka Rina smiled as she looked at Shiigashi Minami beside her, the youngest of the first generation.

Shiigishi Minami laughed and retorted, "Yeah, but I heard he only says discouraging things..."

Clearly, Minami Shiigishi was quite worried.

Rina Asuka nodded: "I've heard of it."

Minami Sakagami chimed in, "I've heard this rumor too."

Faced with this statement, the fortune teller simply smiled faintly: "Although things have been unfortunate for everyone so far, it's not certain that bad tarot cards will appear for Shiigishi Minami as well."

"Is it still not certain?" As if she had made up her mind, Shiigan Minami finally asked, "I hope you can do a divination to predict my overall fortune in 2019."

"I understand." The fortune teller said, beginning to shuffle the cards. "Is it enough to just look at Shiigishi Nanzang's fortune over the next six months?"

"Yes, please."

Sakagami Minami asked in a low voice, "So that's enough to tell it's been half a year?"

Asuka Rina also said softly, "But so far it's been pretty good, right?"

“Yes, me…” Shiigan Minami said to the fortune teller as if to boost her confidence, “When it comes to palmistry, I’m number one among the 200+ people in the SKR team.”

"Is your fortune the best out of 200 people this year?" the fortune teller said, continuing to shuffle the cards.

“Yes, that’s how it is.” Shiigishin Minami nodded.

At this moment, Minami Sakagami said, "But if a good card appears for the first time, wouldn't that be especially..."

Shiigishin Minami also agreed with the assessment: "That's right, if it's a good card..."
