I became a girl group idol for my sister.

With that in mind, the dedicated reporter took out a bottle of energy drink he had brought with him and chugged it down. Tonight was definitely going to be a long battle!

Unexpectedly, just as I finished writing the previous chapter, a certain girl group's 62nd single, "If I Weren't an Idol," was released. After reading the lyrics, I feel it reiterates the fact that "idols are not allowed to date." Although they're barely alive, I hope they can continue to exist and even improve as much as possible, and not cause any more trouble...

After all, novels can change the past, but reality cannot...

Chapter 103 Apple's Room

Miyamoto, Shiigaki Minami, and Yasunaga Mai took the subway to Shiigaki Minami's house. As the only one who hadn't been drinking, Miyamoto decided to be the last one to get home, as getting the two of them home first was the most important thing.

Meanwhile, Yasunaga Mai plans to stay with Shiigishi Minami tonight, which avoids the awkward situation of having to deliver them separately.

"By the way, you mentioned that reporter, which newspaper does he work for?" Shiigan Minami suddenly asked.

Yasunaga Mai thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know, my head is a little dizzy right now..." Yasunaga Mai said softly, "I didn't feel this way just now..."

"The alcohol is starting to take effect," Miyamoto said. "Mai-chan, rest for a while. I'll carry you up when we get there."

"No need for you to carry me or anything like that, I can still walk," said Yasunaga Mai, her eyelids already starting to droop. She leaned back against the cushion and quickly rested her head on Miyamoto Sei's shoulder.

Shiigishi Minami frowned: "Those guys are really... they should be removed from the list of people I can drink with from now on!" Then she looked at Miyamoto Sei: "Nana-chan, which newspaper do you think that reporter works for?"

“They look very dedicated, and they can pinpoint the location so accurately. Of course, even considering the possibility of an inside man, I still think it’s Weekly Buntō,” Miyamoto said.

The last time I heard about Weekly Bentong was when I first became a substitute for Team K. At that time, Mimori Saika was harassed by Weekly Bentong, and it was Weekly Bentong that exposed her situation.

"I almost got tricked this time. I never expected there would be reporters. That guy was even trying to lead me to where the reporters were..." Shiigan Minami muttered to herself, then hugged Miyamoto Sei tightly. This time, Miyamoto Sei was completely squeezed between the two of them: "Thank you, Nana-chan. If it weren't for you today, I feel like I would have been finished."

After saying that, she added, "It's not just me, Mai-chan is doomed too..."

Seeing the other person's terrified expression, Miyamoto knew that the other person had learned their lesson, and immediately said with a grin, "Doesn't it feel like the tarot card reading almost happened?"

"Oh, you watched it too?" Shiigishin said in surprise, "I didn't expect Nana-chan to watch No.3b's program!"

“I saw it. But if you don’t contact men anymore, and don’t even go drinking anymore, I think those things that happened before the general election won’t happen again.” Miyamoto Sei smiled. “After all, things are connected. Now that the events of the first month have been changed, as long as you pay attention, nothing irreversible will happen.”

"Irreversible?" Shiigishi Minami paused for a moment, then carefully considered what had happened that day: "Nana-chan, are you talking about that person named Shirahama Alan?"

“If I hadn’t come today, Mimi-chan, you and Mai-chan would have arrived at the scene and then calculated what would have happened,” Miyamoto said. “You would have gone directly into their private room, which the reporters would have noted. Since you would have left late, it would have confirmed that you were in a private room with a strange man.”

Shiigishi Minami broke out in a cold sweat as she listened. Following Miyamoto Nana's words, she continued, "Because I drank alcohol, I went to the restroom. During that time, Mai-chan was pressured to drink more, which led to her getting drunk. Once drunk, she would drink even more heavily and become even harder to persuade..."

"As for you, Mimi-chan, after you went to the restroom and were blocked by Shirahama Alan, you most likely wouldn't go to the front desk to buy things with Shirahama Alan, but you would give him your contact information, thus giving him an opportunity." Miyamoto Seya continued, "The next development is that the two of you drank a lot and were photographed drunk on your way home. It's even possible that because you drank too much, you spent the night in a private room, and were photographed coming out together the next morning."

Shiigishi Minami took a breath: "If this happens, they'll also be able to film Asuka Kirara... Even if nothing happens in this situation, the fans will definitely be furious. The general election in June is just a few months away..."

"The reaction to this might not be too big. After all, if you two left early after getting drunk, you'd only get a few words of criticism at most." Miyamoto then mentioned another possibility: "But Shirahama Alan, who has your contact information, might keep contacting you and checking up on you every day..."

You mean he wants to pursue me?

“I don’t know if he’s pursuing her, but I’m sure he’ll pretend to be pursuing her. Once he gets her, he’ll release a bombshell about spending the night together. That’ll be the real killer.” Miyamoto said, then thought about some of Shirahama Alan’s behavior: “I even feel that this is exactly what he wants to happen.”

The statement that Shiigishi Minami remained silent was indeed somewhat exaggerated, but upon careful consideration of the other party's behavior, it felt quite reasonable. Thinking about the worst-case scenario, there was nothing wrong with it; one wrong move and her idol career could be declared over.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, instantly reducing the effects of the alcohol. She immediately grabbed Miyamoto Sei's arm: "Nana-chan, I've said this to Rina and Apple too. If I do anything weird, you have to stop me! You have to stop me!"

"Yes, as long as I'm here." Miyamoto nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "By the way, Mimi-chan, how did you two meet?"

"We met when we were performing at a football league..." Shiigishi Minami curled her lip. "At first, I thought he was a pretty nice guy, but now that I think about it, it was all an act! Nana-chan, you're right, these guys who shamelessly stick to you even though they know idol taboos are definitely no good!"

"If anyone says things like 'I'll treat you well' in the future, just ignore them and stay away. Completely disregarding the profession of the person you like, and forcing them to ruin their career to be with you, I don't think that kind of 'liking' is real 'liking'," Miyamoto Se said again, while glancing at Yasunaga Mai, who was already asleep. "I need to find a chance to talk to Mai-chan about this tomorrow, so she won't be deceived in the future."

"Yes, that's right, we definitely need to talk to her properly!" Shiigan Minami nodded immediately, also letting out a sigh of relief: "That's great, this crisis is finally really over!"

After about twenty minutes, the group finally arrived at their destination. Miyamoto got up and carried Yasunaga Mai on his back. Yasunaga Mai was relatively light, which was also related to Miyamoto's own strength. In any case, carrying her was not difficult, and it could even be said to be quite easy.

Carrying Yasunaga Mai on her back while following Shiigaki Minami who was leading the way, the three of them quickly arrived at a building. They took the elevator upstairs, and Shiigaki Minami opened her door and called out, "Come in quickly!"

After saying that, she started tidying up the bed again.

After everything was mostly tidied up, Miyamoto Sei was allowed to move Yasunaga Mai to the bed.

"Alright, that's settled then." Shiigishi Minami said, glancing at Miyamoto Sei: "Nana-chan, why don't you stay here too? If you go back now, you might get caught by the police!"

I looked at my watch; it was indeed very late.

"No, no need." Miyamoto immediately shook his head. What a joke! Letting him live with two people, one of whom is Shiigishi Minami who loves to hug people, isn't that a sure way to expose himself?!

“That makes sense, after all, the bed would be too cramped with three people.” Shiigaki Minami nodded, then frowned. “But it’ll be very late if we go back now…”

"It's alright, my strength recovers quickly," Miyamoto said, taking a step back. "I'll be going now!"

"Wait a minute!" Shigishi Minami called out to Miyamoto Sei. Just as Miyamoto Sei was wondering what the other person was going to do, Shigishi Minami walked out and then waved to Miyamoto Sei: "Come with me."

"Hmm?" Miyamoto Sei was a little puzzled, but he followed her. Soon, the two took the elevator again and arrived at the next floor.

Shiigishi Minami pulled Miyamoto Sei down a door, then raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.

What does Mi-chan need someone else for? Is it a neighbor? Or is there a vacant house and she's looking for the landlord? Is she borrowing it temporarily?

Miyamoto was filled with questions when a familiar voice suddenly came from inside.

"Please wait!"

Miyamoto was taken aback when he heard the voice.

Then the door was opened.

"Mi-chan, is something the matter?" Sakagami Minami appeared from behind the door, wearing pajamas and looking at Shiigishi Minami with a puzzled expression. Then she sniffed and asked, "You went drinking?"

"Hehe, I had a little bit." Shiigan Minami chuckled and pointed to the side: "Apple, Nana-chan brought me back, so it's not convenient for me to go back now. You should have a place to rest here, right?"

This surprised both Miyamoto Sei and Sakagami Minami.

"What?! Nana-chan is here too?!" she exclaimed in shock, immediately craning her neck to look to the side. Then she saw Miyamoto Sei standing there, and her cheeks immediately turned red upon seeing him. "N-Nana-chan, please, please come in and sit for a while!"

"It's not just sitting for a while, it's staying overnight!" Shiigishi Minami immediately corrected the mistake in Sakagami Minami's words.

"No, no need, I'll go back now!" Miyamoto said quickly, "I'm sorry to have bothered you, Minami-senpai!"

"Go back?!" Sakagami Minami was startled by this answer. She glanced at her watch and immediately said, "Going back now would waste a lot of time. Why don't you stay here tonight?"

"Do not……"

"This is the Director General's order!" Sakagami Minami said immediately, her tone very firm: "Maintaining sufficient rest is very important!"

Seeing that Sakagami Minami was directly using his status as the general director to pressure him, Miyamoto Seiya had no choice but to temporarily give in: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Minami-senpai."

"Come in," said Sakagami Minami, her cheeks still flushed, but she stepped aside to let Miyamoto Sei in.

Looking at the pink room, Miyamoto confirmed that what Shiigishin Minami had told him last time was true. Sakagami Minami did indeed like pink, and it was obvious from looking at her that she really liked it.

Despite being the most masculine girl group idol, she actually has very girlish tastes.

“I’ll come in for a bit too!” Shigishi Minami said, and followed her in. Sakagami Minami glanced at her, as if to say, “Why are you here to join in the fun?”

"Because there are some things I need to discuss with the General Manager!" Minami Shiigishi said cautiously.

Hearing this, Sakagami Minami roughly guessed what was going on. She looked at Shiigishi Minami and asked, "Has something happened?"

“Yes, but it’s alright…” Shiigishi Minami said, glancing at Miyamoto Sei, before recounting what had happened.

During this time, Sakagami Minami brewed tea and prepared vinegar to help with hangovers. She gave the tea to Miyamoto Sei and the vinegar to Shiigishi Minami.

After listening to Shiigishi Minami recount the whole story, Sakagami Minami frowned, then sighed: "Couldn't you have been a little more careful?"

"Hehe, I'll be more careful next time!"

"Thankfully, this time it wasn't a big deal thanks to Nana's help. Otherwise, I would have had to apologize..." Sakagami Minami said slowly, "As expected, that divination was so accurate! It almost caused a huge crisis!"

"I'll be more careful in the future. I won't be hanging out with men for the next few years!" Shiigaki Minami immediately said. "If we're going to drink, I'll go with you guys!"

After saying that, she cautiously asked, "So, should we tell Tenbei P about this?"

"Of course we have to say it. Although it didn't cause any impact, it's a fact that you were photographed. Of course, if it really is a reporter from Bentong Weekly, then they should report it truthfully. For example, if you just went to greet the other party and congratulate them, the fans won't say anything about that."

Sakagami Minami continued, just as Shiigishi Minami was about to ask a question, "But we can't be sure what those people are thinking. If they insist on saying something like you were drinking with them, we need to be prepared for public relations to deal with those kinds of things."

At this point, she looked at Miyamoto Sei: "Nana-chan, you said you took pictures, is that true?"

"Really, I filmed everything. The only lie is about the computer. I don't have a computer at home, so there's no way the data could have been transferred to a computer. I just did it to prevent them from taking my phone. Although I'm not afraid of a fight and I'm confident I can beat them, it would still be a bit risky if we fought."

"Why? Your fans might be even happier if a fight breaks out!" Sakagami Minami laughed. "After all, with the release of the movie, Nana-chan is already portrayed as a samurai girl!"

"It will affect my image as a delicate and beautiful girl in the idol group!" Miyamoto Sei immediately said, and upon hearing this, Shiigishi Minami and Sakagami Minami couldn't help but laugh.

Although Miyamoto said that, he thought about what Sakagami Minami said and realized that the other party was indeed right. If his fans saw him beat up those guys and the video was released, they would most likely applaud and cheer, and his support rate would even soar.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. I still need to take care of Mai-chan who's passed out. You two get some rest!" Shiigishin Minami stood up, waved to the two of them, and even winked at Sakagami Minami. Just as Sakagami Minami was about to stand up, Shiigishin immediately walked out of the room, closed the door quickly, and disappeared.

Suddenly, only Miyamoto Sei and Sakagami Minami remained in the room.

Chapter 104 Live Stream Gossip

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Miyamoto took a deep breath. He remembered very clearly that Sakagami Minami would often avoid him. Although there were times when she would invite him out for meals, those were all seniors' advice to tell him what to pay attention to in the upcoming activities. So, in the current situation where there was nothing to discuss, he actually became a little reserved.

"I...I'll go get you something to eat!" Sakagami Minami suddenly said, getting up and walking towards the kitchen: "You were dragged to karaoke with them, you probably haven't eaten yet!"

"No need, Senior Nan. I actually ate a little, so I won't be hungry tonight!" Miyamoto said quickly and stood up. Although the topic of conversation was a bit strange, it finally broke the silence, which made Miyamoto breathe a sigh of relief. If the two of them had remained silent, he wouldn't know what to do.
