I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Besides, it wouldn't be good if this caused Nana any trouble...

Thinking this to herself, Sakagami Minami remained silent for a while before gently opening her mouth.

"Qi Nai-chan..."

She called out softly, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz. If the other person was asleep, they certainly wouldn't hear her. Sakagami Minami felt a mix of anticipation and hope that the other person was already asleep, so that they could get some rest.

Clearly, I still have mixed feelings.

Then, she heard Miyamoto Nana's voice, clear and natural, without any hint of drowsiness.

"What's wrong, Senior Nan?"

"N-nothing, I was just wondering if you were still awake," Sakagami Minami said with a smile. Hearing her voice, her previously tense heart gradually calmed down, and her body began to relax and stretch out. Looking at her back, Sakagami Minami said with a grin, "Why don't you turn around?"

Turn around?!

Miyamoto was immediately startled when he heard Sakagami Minami's words. Being in a room with a beautiful girl was already hard enough to resist!

Although his time with Nanase Touka and his encounters with Yamashita Aya and Nanase Touka at the hot springs in AJS had given him a lot of experience, he was still quite resistant to some stimulating scenes for young men. However, lying in bed with a beautiful girl, facing her face to face, and most importantly, the two of them were now covered by the same blanket!

If I were to turn around and see the other person's face up close, given the current environment, there's a good chance some strange reactions might occur. Fortunately, I'm fully equipped, so even if something happens, I won't be discovered, but it would still be very unpleasant.

Therefore, Miyamoto decided to reject the other party's proposal.

"Because...because I'm used to sleeping on my right side!"

"Really? It's not that Nana hates me, is it?" Sakagami Minami said this at this moment, which made Miyamoto Sei's heart tighten. You have to be careful when a girl says such a thing. He took a deep breath and slowly turned around: "Minami-senpai, I don't hate you!"

As he turned around, he saw a face so close to his. Sakagami Minami had long eyelashes and a short stature, yet she looked very cute. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at him, and with the help of the faint starlight, he could see that her eyes were sparkling with the colors of the starry sky.

For a moment, Miyamoto Sei's breath caught in his throat.

It looks so beautiful!

The feeling came so suddenly, but in an instant, an even stronger impulse arose from within, suppressing the feeling.

That's the responsibility of an idol!

"Senior Nan is so cute and pretty! Besides, she always helps me, her junior. There's no way I could ever dislike Senior Nan!"

Miyamoto spoke slowly this time, and the smile on his face looked very gentle. Looking at that smile and listening to what he said, Sakagami Minami's cheeks flushed a little. She was glad that it was night and the lights were off, otherwise he would have seen her in this embarrassing state.

"I'm not pretty or anything like that, but I'm definitely cute. No need for flattery, I know people in the group call me 'man' all the time." Sakagami Minami immediately said, "Besides, when it comes to pretty, I think Nana-chan is the real deal, and so are Ogiko-chan. That's what you call pretty. I'm not pretty at all!"

“That’s because Minami-senpai has a very heroic air about him. This kind of characteristic is quite rare in SKR. Itsuki-senpai is one of them, and Aya-chan is another.” Miyamoto Sei laughed. “But speaking of which, if No3b’s 'Handsome Idol' had senpai, Aya-chan, and Itsuki-senpai all in it together, the effect would probably be even better.”

"What you're saying is true, but some fans have indeed suggested it. However, 'Handsome Idol' was a project of No3b, so there was nothing we could do. Besides, we had only just started acting back then, and many parts look so exaggerated now. It's like we want to dig a hole and hide in it."

"No, please continue filming like this! This is a comedy idol drama, it's supposed to be this exaggerated style!"

"That's what the director said back then too. Sure enough, Nana-chan is very talented as an actress. She found her direction right away." Sakagami Minami said, her tone becoming calmer, without the tension from before. She looked into the other person's eyes and smiled, "Actually, Ogiko-chan is very envious of you and admires you a lot."

"Senior Ogiko?! You're envious of me?"

"Yes, Ogiko-chan is very proud. In her opinion, she is the best actress in the entire SKR. No one can compare with her in terms of acting skills in TV dramas and movies. But she has been working hard to play supporting roles until now. After graduation, she wanted to focus on developing her acting career and realize her dream."

"If we can really make a good name for ourselves as actors, then it will not only fulfill our own dreams, but also make those who look down on SKR understand one thing: SKR idols don't have to stay in SKR. They will graduate from SKR and fly in a wider sky, showing their own value!"

Miyamoto recalled a conversation he had with Higashikuze Ogiko not long after he entered SKR, where she had said something similar: "Because, SKR is a school, right?"

"Yes, that's what Teacher Tianbei envisioned. SKR is an idol group, but it's also a school, providing a stage for girls like us who have idol dreams or other dreams to showcase ourselves, learn more, accumulate experience, and then graduate when the time is right to pursue our dreams."

"To realize her dream and let everyone see that SKR's idols can create a brighter future on their own is Ogiko-chan's goal right now. But you shattered her pride in her acting skills." Sakagami Minami said with a grin, "After you filmed a movie clip, a dance scene, she came to me and even dragged me out for drinks, looking very depressed."

"Huh?!" Miyamoto listened to these things in surprise. He never expected that the aloof and indifferent Higashikuze Ogiko would have this side to her.

"She saw your potential right away. Although that dance segment was viewed from a dance perspective, according to her, it wasn't just about dance; it also involved various considerations for the dancer in her own environment. Otherwise, it would have been better to just find someone with a dance background. And those changes in expression and such require acting skills to support them. She said your acting skills are great, and you might be quickly pulled into a broader acting career."

Sakagami Minami became more and more cheerful as she spoke, as if she was recalling the scene at the time: "You have no idea how unwilling Ogiko-chan looked when she said those words. She was surpassed by a junior, and so quickly. And Ogiko-chan was right after all. Later, you starred in 'The Demon Killer Girl' and you were the lead actress. The box office even broke the record for sword and spear films!"

At this point, Sakagami Minami breathed a sigh of relief: "Ogiko-chan told me that she is determined to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. She wants to at least star in a movie, but not in a supporting role. She also wants to get a leading role in a TV series. She won't even consider dating until she achieves that. Clearly, she's already competing with you."

Miyamoto listened, then asked with some curiosity, "Morning drama?"

"Oh, right, the morning drama, she did say that."

Morning dramas are much more difficult to get lead roles in than evening dramas. The difficulty level is on a completely different level. For many actors' agencies, morning dramas are a great way to promote their important new actors, much more important than evening dramas which have little viewership.

But I really didn't expect that I would have such a big impact on Ogiko-senpai... She didn't even date after graduation, but continued to work hard in her career. Should I be happy for her or sad for her?

Miyamoto thought silently, and finally could only sigh.

He is currently experiencing a great deal of inner conflict.

"What's wrong?" Sakagami Minami asked curiously.

"I'm sad for Ogiko-senpai, but I'm also happy for her. It's a very conflicted feeling," Miyamoto said softly. "I'm happy that you're working so hard for your career. It's not that people have to be in love or anything, but after being an idol for so many years, my youth is gradually slipping away. I couldn't date when I was an idol, and I won't try dating after graduation. I feel like my life might be a little incomplete, so I'm a little sad..."

"I think unrequited love is a kind of love, but you have to keep those feelings buried deep inside. That's what idols are like. So idols do have their own kind of love, but it can only be unrequited love," Sakagami Minami said with a smile. As she said this, her heart fluttered again, as if she were saying something very important.

"You have a crush too, senior?" Miyamoto asked, somewhat surprised. Since the other person said that, it was obvious that he did, but who exactly was the one he had a crush on?

"I guess you could say that, but I'm not sure if it really is. I think it's about the same kind of feeling," Sakagami Minami laughed. "Alright, go to sleep now, or you'll run into trouble tomorrow!"

"Yes, Senior Nan, you should also get some sleep. After all, I've been mainly resting these past few days, while Senior Nan has been quite busy."

"Okay, goodnight!" Sakagami Minami said, closing her eyes. Her heart was at peace. She felt the breath in front of her and silently thought about the words she had just said.

Idols are not allowed to date, especially girl group idols; this is an ironclad rule!

Ogiko-chan has graduated, and now Sakurako is the undisputed number one in the general election, while Hikari-chan is temporarily taking over Ogiko-chan's unchanging center position. For many people, this is what is called the succession of the throne.

But whether it's Hikari or anyone else, they all believe one thing: soon, Nana will take over from Hikari and truly stand in the position of SKR's unmoving center. And that time will be when she steps into the world of Kami-Yako and defeats the god!

Sakurako will graduate... Hikari-chan will graduate, and I will graduate too... At that time, Nana-chan will definitely still be standing on the stage, shining like a superstar, enveloping everyone and letting everyone unleash their full potential.

Just like back then, when she shone on all the graduate students during the graduate student performance, she led her SKR teammates to the top of Japan and even to the world!

So no matter what my feelings are, I have to suppress them!

This isn't just for SKR, it's also for Nana!

Feeling the gradually stabilizing breathing in front of her, Sakagami Minami opened her eyes, silently looked at the person in front of her, revealed a faint smile, and then closed her eyes again.

Goodnight, Nana-chan, the future belongs to SKR's unwavering Center!

Chapter 106 Foodie

Nanase Touka was playing a game and finally got home. Although she had started training and performing with the graduate students these past few days, she was still able to get home relatively early in the evening.

So, in the past few days, she has gradually started to resume some of her usual habits, such as live streaming, playing online games, and chatting with other players in the game.

Playing games often leads to going to bed late.

[This is really rare; it's amazing that we can all team up to run a dungeon together. It seems like some of us are really skilled!]

Haha, there are active idols, active voice actors, and company CEOs, and I'm still just a corporate slave.

Am I not just an ordinary high school student?!

[You? You went to such a prestigious private high school with such a high academic deviation score, and your goal is still the University of Tokyo. How is that ordinary?]

[I don't care, I'm just an ordinary high school girl!]

In the game, a few people were chatting and typing, and they also sent the last BOSS of the dungeon to heaven. Just then, Riko, also known as Miyamoto Yukiko, quickly typed a line of text.

[Nana-chan is actually at Apple Sauce's house right now!]

Nanase Touka was stunned for a moment when she saw this sentence. Her eyes widened slightly, and a picture of a man and a woman alone in a room immediately popped into her mind.

Why is Nana-senpai with Sakagami-senpai? Why is she at Sakagami-senpai's house?!

Nanase Touka felt a little uncomfortable. She wondered if she should ask what was going on, when she saw that the group had already started talking about it.

[Nana? Is she the one who came with Nyan-chan last time?]

【Yes, that's her! She and Apple Sauce are a very popular couple, and she and Ogiko-chan form a big love triangle. Any two of them could easily form a popular couple!】 Miyamoto Yukiko immediately started promoting her idol and the group her idol belonged to.

[I think Yui should talk about this, since she's an idol and a voice actress. She plays Nanjo Yoshino, and she probably has quite a few pairings.]

Yui: [Why am I suddenly being dragged into this? But creating various pairings for their favorite idols is something fans really enjoy doing, and it can boost each other's popularity, so the management seems to like it.]

Nanjo Yoshino explained what was going on, but she also had some questions: "By the way, was Miyamoto-san filming a TV show at Sakagami-san's house?"

[It shouldn't be, because judging from the situation, it was probably a surprise call. Because of inquiries from fans, they called Apple directly. When Apple was asked what she was doing, she said she was just about to sleep with Nana, which is how everyone found out that Nana was also at Apple's house at that time.]

While typing, Yukiko Miyamoto continued watching the program: "Haha, because Hikaru-chan is too tired, Tenbei-P said that Nana-chan will go to tomorrow's performance so that Hikaru-chan can take a break for a while."

That's awesome! I'm going to buy tickets for tomorrow's performance. I absolutely have to see Nana-chan!

Clearly, Yukiko Miyamoto was very happy at this moment because she could watch her idol's performance, while Fuyuka Nanase had already opened a webpage, searched for the live broadcast of the program, and quickly opened it to watch the conversation between Risa Amagai and the others.

Watching the program, Nanase Touka silently wondered what was going on.

She picked up her phone, wondering whether she should send the other person a message, but ultimately put it down. She'd already said everything on the show, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Furthermore, Nana-senpai takes her idol status very seriously and is unlikely to make a move on other women. The only question is whether Sakagami-senpai will discover Nana-senpai's secret...

No, it should be hard to find out. The last time I was able to find out was because… because… Nanase Touka thought to herself, recalling what happened at the hot spring last time. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she took a deep breath. Last time… last time it was all due to unforeseen circumstances! Who put the alcohol there? I didn't even know it was alcohol! I've never drunk alcohol before! It's all the alcohol's fault!!

Nanase Touka became somewhat frantic, grabbing her hair tightly for a while before stopping; by then, her hair was completely disheveled.

"Hoo... No, I need to calm down. Nana-senpai will definitely be fine. She will handle these things very calmly." Nanase Fuyuka muttered to herself, habitually referring to Miyamoto Sei as "she".
