I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Upon arriving at the restaurant the other party had mentioned, Hirotomo Konishi quickly found the other party, Risa Amagai. Although he had never met her directly before, he had seen her on television, so he recognized her immediately.

When he arrived in front of the other person, he tried his best to appear less nervous.

"Hello, Ms. Tenbei."

Risa Tenbei glanced at the arriving man, noticing his sophisticated demeanor, and nodded secretly, smiling, "Please have a seat."

After the other party sat down, Risa Amagai smiled and said, "Mr. Konishi works in the copyright department at Sony. He's quite promising at such a young age."

"You're joking. It's just a very ordinary job," said Hirotomo Konishi. He wasn't being modest; although his annual salary was over seven million yen, and with various bonuses he earned about nine million yen a year, it was nothing compared to the person in front of him.

Risa Tenbei didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I'm looking for you because of some personal matters, but it could also be considered work-related."

Personal matters? Work-related matters? Why are they all mixed up? What is she trying to say? Hirotomo Konishi was puzzled, but he still smiled and replied to Risa Amagai, "Please speak!"

At the same time, he became increasingly puzzled as to why Tenbe Risa contacted him directly. Wasn't it usually the company that handled the handover?

"This matter is related to your daughter, Tomomi Konishi."

Then, Risa Amagai's words made Hirotomo Konishi's heart skip a beat. The person in front of him was an idol producer! Could it be that his daughter had signed up for an idol audition?

No, no way! Even if I agree to this, the child's mother will absolutely never agree. I'm certain it's impossible for it to pass!

But if that's really the case, as a top idol producer in the country, is it really necessary for the other party to come to him? There are so many girls to choose from; there's no need to waste so much time on a girl whose parents don't approve.

Moreover, Hirotomo Konishi was well aware of his daughter's lack of talent to become an idol, and her personality was not suited to it.

Filled with doubt, he cautiously asked, "Excuse me, what exactly happened? Is it related to my daughter? This..."

"Actually, I personally don't want to get involved, since this matter has nothing to do with me. But my idol, Miyamoto Nana, do you know her?"

Nana Miyamoto? That girl who's been making headlines a lot? She's supposedly very talented and a strong contender to succeed Ogiko Higashikuze, but she ended up being sent to another girl group to fill a part-time role, temporarily keeping her away from the heart of SKR?

With the information he had on hand flashing through his mind, Hirotomo Konishi nodded: "I know, Nana Miyamoto is quite famous in the idol world!"

Could it be related to her? Does she have a conflict with my daughter? If my daughter were a fan of hers, there shouldn't be any reason for her to contact me.

"She kept saying things like idols can't abandon their fans, and then she felt that as a female idol, it wasn't good for her to casually interact with men, so she just sent me. Kids these days really don't understand their parents at all; they push everything onto us," Lisa Tenbei sighed, sounding like a parent being tormented by her child.

"Idols can't abandon their fans?" Upon hearing this, Hirotomo Konishi was initially puzzled, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became: "Excuse me, has something happened to my daughter?!"

"Almost."

Risa Amagai stopped trying to lead him on and instead recounted what had happened. She told him a simplified version of what Miyamoto Sei had said, glossing over many details to save time. Even so, Hirotomo Konishi was sweating profusely after hearing what Risa Amagai had to say.

"This, this... thank you so much for telling me all this, Ms. Tenbei. If something really happened to my daughter... I... I would regret it for the rest of my life!" He said, getting up to leave. "I... I have to go back now. I'm so sorry!"

"Wait a minute, if we go back now, do you know how to resolve this?" Amagai Risa asked slowly, which made Konishi Hirotomo hesitate. He slowly sat down again, looking somewhat dejected: "The conflicts at home are really difficult to resolve."

"Let me guess, your wife is unwilling to compromise on her daughter's matter. Even if you could stay at home, it would be a huge problem. In fact, if you were at home, you and your husband might argue because of your daughter," Tenbei Lisa analyzed.

“Yes, yes… My husband and I used to have a very good relationship, but we often argued about our daughter…” Konishi Hirotomo nodded gently: “I know that Tomomi is in a lot of pain, so I have applied for a transfer from the company. Actually, after I came back this time, I can stay at home and work locally.”

"Arguments between spouses can be very harmful to children," Risa Tempel warned.

“I…I know…but…how do we resolve this…” Konishi Hirotomo said slowly, “If we’re already divorced, I can still get custody, but do we really have to go this far?”

“Divorce may not be necessary. In fact, for a lady like you, the desire to control arises after seeing what she wants to control. If that’s the case, then let’s just pretend we can’t see it for now.” Risa Amagai naturally brought up the suggestion that Miyamoto Sei had made: “For example, let Tomomi Konishi live in her own small space, like a student dormitory or something.”

"This……"

“Now that you can work locally, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to visit your daughter occasionally,” said Risa Tenbei. “Of course, I’m referring to you alone. Both of them need to relax. They’ve put a lot of pressure on each other, and this is a good time for them to reflect on their actions.”

"But……"

"Tomomi Konishi is going to be a senior in high school, right? She only has one year left before going to university. Her current personality isn't a good thing for university life. She has one more year to help her become more confident in herself and have faith in the future. Time is running out." Risa Amagai said, then stopped talking and just looked at her.

"I understand, I'll get it done, it's for her health!"

Risa Amagai nodded: "Then you can go back. Finally, to quote what Nana told me, she can use a short-term goal like the general election to give the other person hope of survival and reduce her mental pressure. But this is not a long-term solution. If the biggest problem cannot be solved, the pressure will continue to accumulate and eventually lead to collapse."

Her eyes were deep, as if she had seen through many things.

"So, let's not let this child, who has finally recovered somewhat from the collapse, fall into collapse again. This collapse even comes from his own family, which is just too tragic."

"I understand. Please thank Miss Miyamoto for me... I... I'm not in a position to thank her properly, and I'm afraid it would cause a bad impression." After bowing to Amagai Risa, Konishi Hirotomo chose to leave. Before leaving, he went to pay the bill, only to be told that it had already been paid.

Back home, Mrs. Konishi saw her husband and smiled, saying, "You're back."

"Yes, I'm back. Where's Chimi?"

“She’s studying in her bedroom,” Mrs. Konishi said, her expression showing displeasure. “She didn’t go to her tutoring class yesterday either; I wonder what she’s thinking about.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll go check on her." Hirotomo Konishi said, and went to Tomomi Konishi's bedroom, gently knocking on the door.

"Please come in." A detached voice came from inside, as if the person wasn't thinking about anything and had no emotion.

Remembering what Tambirisa had told him, he sighed silently, then pushed open the door and went inside.

Seeing that it was her father, Tomomi Konishi finally smiled: "Dad!"

For the girl, her father, who rarely comes home, is the only one who can make her feel relaxed.

After closing the door and sitting down, Hirotomo Konishi was silent for a moment before asking, "Tomomi, answer me seriously: if you had to live at home or rent a place outside, which would you choose?"

Tomomi Konishi was stunned. She hadn't expected her father to ask her this question, and he wanted her to think about it seriously. But she had been thinking about this question for a long time last night, and she was even thinking about how to rent a place on her own and how to get rent without accepting any money from her family.

According to the rules, students can only work 28 hours a month during the school year. They can earn a little over 100,000 yen a month. If they are frugal with their daily expenses, they can rent a single room in a student dormitory for around 60,000 yen. If they save the rest of the money, they can afford to eat on their own.

As long as you eat half-price bento boxes for every meal, two meals a day, and make sure there is meat and vegetables, you can keep your monthly expenses under 20,000 yuan!

After the holidays, the working hours are extended to 40 hours a week according to the law, which can earn nearly 50,000 yen more per month, and also allow me to have some money to buy clothes and entertainment.

She even secretly researched a lot of things last night to figure these things out, and was even prepared to have a complete falling out with her family.

Now, her own father has suddenly asked her this question!

She suddenly felt as if the world had brightened up, and the problems that had been troubling her were suddenly solved.

"I've chosen to move out!"

Her voice was soft, but very firm.

The girl's father, Hirotomo Konishi, sensed this unwavering determination and understood what his daughter truly felt about her current family.

“I understand, I’ll help you, but you’re still a high school student, so you can only live in the student dormitory!” Hirotomo Konishi said, “I’ll pay for your accommodation, and I’ll also give you 30,000 yen a month for living expenses.”

After saying that, he looked at the computer: "Shall we move the computer over there?"

Then he shook his head: "No, it's too much trouble to move it around. It's not like you'll never come back. Let's just buy another laptop."

Tomomi Konishi stared wide-eyed, as if frozen in place. Was this really her father? He was good to her, but did he really have to go to this extent?!

"Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Your idol had someone talk to you about it..." Konishi Hirotomo laughed, but the smile looked somewhat bitter: "It made me realize just how much pain you're in right now."

He took a deep breath: "Although I've always thought I've treated you well, when I think about it carefully, I'm actually quite a failure as a father... I never realized how much pressure you were under, and I thought I could just bear it."

"Y-It's Nana-chan?!" Tomomi Konishi's eyes widened. She never expected that just because she went to see her idol, Nana Miyamoto would actually go to such lengths for her father. She was incredibly excited. She never imagined that he would do so much for an ordinary fan.

But then she realized a serious problem: "Dad, where did you meet Nana-chan? If it was outside, it might have a bad influence on her!"

“She also thought of this problem. Didn’t I say that she asked someone to find me, and it was actually Risa Amagai… Your idol’s status in SKR, at least in Risa Amagai’s heart, is probably much higher than I originally thought.” Hirotomo Konishi shook his head: “This can be considered first-hand information, right?”

She actually contacted Risa Amagai! She went directly to the producer for me! This... this... Tomomi Konishi was completely stunned by this news. If Nana-chan were a man, I would definitely be smitten by now!

I must say, I've already succumbed to it all, only reason is holding me back...

Tomomi Konishi tried her best to remain calm and shifted her attention to the matter of renting an apartment. It seemed like everything was resolved, but even so, there was still one last problem: "But what about Mom..."

“I’ll handle it.” Konishi Hirotomo’s smile was much brighter this time. “This is a problem between husband and wife, so you don’t need to worry. However, you can’t completely relax just because you’re away from home. If you have problems with your studies, then my status at home will be lowered, and your mother will definitely use this to pressure me.”

Hirotomo Konishi's words brought tears to Tomomi Konishi's eyes, and she nodded heavily: "Yes!"

At this moment, just that one word was enough. She knew that her wonderful life was finally about to begin!

Chapter Ten: The Voice of Stardust

[Nana-chan, thank you! Thank you so much for helping me, I don't know how to thank you enough!]

Looking at Link's message on her phone, Miyamoto smiled and quickly typed a reply.

I think the best way to express gratitude is to live a good life and strive for the future you desire.

After typing, he put his phone away.

He is currently training with Miyu Nagasu and Mika Komatsu in preparation for the release of their new song.

"Why are you smiling so happily, Nana-chan? Did something happy happen?" Miyu Nagasu walked over and naturally sat down next to Miyamoto Sei, leaning against her and asking softly.

“Yes, I’m quite happy to see that a friend I was worried about has suddenly improved,” Miyamoto said.

"Friends? Nana-chan always thinks so much about others." Miyu Nagayasu said, giving her a big hug: "Hehe, replenishing my idol energy!"

"Hey, you two, stop being so lovey-dovey and get back to training!" Mika Komatsu glanced at the two of them and said casually, "If you don't train properly, the fans won't approve!"

"Okay, okay, Mika-chan!" Miyu Nagasu laughed and pulled Miyamoto Seiya up. "Let's go train together!"

"Well, let's go!"

Stardust Girl's album will still be released by King Records, so all related work will be handled by King Records, just like last time.

At the doorway, an old man stood watching, his eyes narrowed. He stared for a long time before slowly turning around and walking outside.

Subaru Hasegawa happened to be walking by and, upon seeing the old man, quickly followed him, saying, "Mr. Akira Hiyama! What brings you here?"
