I became a girl group idol for my sister.

[Does it mean overwhelming the opponent with her aura? I don't quite understand, but does that mean that as long as she can get all the audience members' attention, Nana-chan can get the votes from those who haven't voted yet?]

[This is only a possibility. Even if someone's attention is drawn to the vote, there's still a high probability they'll stick to their own decision and vote for their favorite. After all, everyone's feelings for their favorite are probably the same!]

I'm getting more and more excited! I really want to see what Nana-chan's score will be in the preliminary results!

Even if you get good preliminary results, you can't be complacent. Sometimes, people get carried away with good preliminary results and then lose the competition!

Are you talking about Rina Asuka? (laughs)

[Don't bully Rina! Rina is so cute! But this is definitely a lesson we need to learn. We must be very careful. This time, our goal isn't just to get Kamiya's position; this time, our goal is to get Nana-chan to the top of the rankings!]

That's right, we want Nana-chan to stand at the pinnacle of SKR idols!

"That's right, let the world feel the light of Nana!" Miyamoto Yukiko waved her hand as she looked at the forum, then suddenly realized she had gone a bit too far. She quickly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw no one was there.

"Luckily I'm at home, hehe..." She chuckled, glanced at her wallet, looked at the money she'd recently earned from her part-time job, and thought for a moment, "Should I ask my brother for some pocket money? This time it's for the Nana-chan election, I need to buy more votes!"

Chapter Thirteen: Breaking News

2019 5 Month 22 Day.

After voting began on the 21st, a quick report was released on the 22nd.

Miyamoto glanced at the bulletin board, which displayed the votes for everyone after one day.

Miyamoto found himself in third place with 14028 votes.

Looking at the second and first place.

Second place: Watanabe Hikaru, 14868 votes; First place: Naoki Sakurako, 14986 votes!

Continuing down the list, Mika Komatsu currently has 11820 votes, placing her in 7th place, while Miyu Nagasu has 6740 votes, placing her in 16th place.

There were also many people who were close to him, but he did not see Nanase Touka.

Looking at the report, Miyamoto Sei couldn't help but clench his fist.

I've already reached third place in the preliminary results? This shows that the fans are very enthusiastic about voting. But can I really compete head-on with her? If I increase my votes to a huge number now, Naoki Sakurako's fans will definitely fight back fiercely, because the tension of potentially being overtaken is terrifying.

However, it was this thrilling feeling, coupled with a sense of responsibility, that solidified Miyamoto's resolve.

At the very least, he will personally snatch the throne that belongs to the SKR general selection champion from Naoki Sakurako, who is giving it her all!

He carries the entrustment of Higashikuze Ogiko, the entrustment of Naoki Sakurako, and the support of so many fans. If he cannot defeat Naoki Sakurako who is giving her all, then it will be meaningless!

"Nana-chan actually got such a high number of votes in the preliminary results?!" Sakagami Minami stared wide-eyed at Miyamoto Se's vote count.

"I'm only 21st now! Ah, the younger generation is really amazing, they've completely surpassed me!" Sakagami Minami hugged Asuka Rina, who was standing next to her. "Your Majesty, I feel old! Like, all old and faded!"

"I find it really bothering me that you're saying this to me. My preliminary score is even lower than yours, only 23!" Asuka Rina couldn't help but complain, but she still reached out and gently patted Sakagami Minami's head: "Alright, alright, you're the general manager."

"A quick report isn't the beginning of everything!" Sakagami Minami, who had just climbed off Asuka Rina, said to Miyamoto Sei, "Nana-chan, don't be careless. A quick report isn't the time to decide the outcome!"

“I know, Senior Nan, the real decisive moment will be on the morning of June 7th!” Miyamoto Sei said with a smile, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

On June 7th, he will defeat all the gods on stage!

"Ah, wait a minute, why are you rubbing Rina's breasts, Sakurako?!"

"Hey! Sakura, let go!"

"I'm just trying to relax, you know? I'm actually very nervous!"

Seeing the crowd suddenly startled, Miyamoto Sei breathed a sigh of relief and ran over as well.

……

"Sister! Sister! Look!" Miyamoto Yukiko ran excitedly into Miyamoto Rina's bedroom, holding her phone in her hand. She saw her sister looking at a tablet computer with a familiar screen on it.

"Eh? My sister's watching too!" Yukiko Miyamoto immediately leaned over, looking at the SKR general election results displayed on the tablet: "Who's my sister looking at?"

"Let's see how everyone's results are," Miyamoto Rina said with a smile. "Are you here to tell me that Nana-chan's quick ranking is third?"

"Yeah, Nana-chan is amazing! She got third place in the preliminary results!" Yukiko Miyamoto clenched her fist, looking very confident. "I've already ordered a hundred albums, and this time I'm definitely going to cast a hundred votes for Nana-chan!"

Seeing her younger sister so full of fighting spirit, Miyamoto Rina smiled but didn't say anything, though she felt a little strange inside.

The younger sister is cheering for her younger brother, but she doesn't know his true identity. Some of the money is even paid by her younger brother. This relationship is just too strange!

"By the way, how much pocket money does your brother give you?" Miyamoto Rina asked curiously.

“They gave me 50,000 right away, without even asking what I wanted to do with it. They just told me to talk to them if I needed more.” Miyamoto Yukiko happily counted on her fingers, “Plus, I have about 200,000 from my part-time job. If I need anything else, I can buy some more.”

After saying that, she became a little worried: "But they won't be reporting the vote count anymore. We won't know the exact number until the voting ends and the results are announced... I don't know if 100 votes will be enough..."

Seeing the somewhat impatient Miyamoto Yukiko, Miyamoto Rina also became a little impatient. She took a breath and said, "As expected, putting the two of them on the cover worked."

"Sister, are you talking about the cover of version A?" Miyamoto Yukiko immediately understood what her sister meant: "I saw online analysis saying that this is to create an atmosphere of rivalry between the two, and this time they even removed Hikari-chan from the cover of version A, only showing Nana-chan and Sakura-ko, which also shows that the official thinks Nana-chan and Sakura-ko are the rivals, right?"

“That’s right, the official stance is that these two are rivals, and the fans think so too.” Miyamoto Rina nodded, recalling what Miyamoto Sei had told her, and she knew very well that this general election was a very important event for Miyamoto Sei.

This final selection might determine the fate of SKR for the next few years, or even more than a decade!

Thinking of this, Rina Miyamoto couldn't help but feel nervous.

You absolutely mustn't have any problems, Sei!

She thought silently.

……

"Hello, is this Yukari?" Matsumoto Haruna held her phone, talking to her long-lost friend: "Someone who was a delinquent in high school but suddenly became much more settled in college, she must have been working part-time all this time, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Working part-time not only helps you develop yourself, but it also gives you some capital." Yukari Kojima's voice on the other end of the phone sounded so familiar, and it even had a hint of a smile: "What about you?"

“I did work part-time, though I didn’t keep it up for long, but I still earned some pocket money.” Matsumoto Haruna said, stretching her long legs. “But it’s nothing like you. Aside from when I’m in class and taking the same courses, you’re practically invisible when you’re working part-time. You’ve completely become a part-time worker warrior!”

"No matter what, I'm too embarrassed to tell my family that I'm going to chase after my idol and ask them for money!" Yukari Kojima sounded helpless on the other end of the phone. "Besides, this time it's about getting Nana-chan to the top of the general election, so of course I have to do my best!"

"So, what is your goal?"

"We'll definitely give her a hundred votes right away!" Yukari Kojima said immediately, without hesitation. "She's not just my idol, she's also my savior!"

"Oh, you mean back at the karaoke bar? You still remember that!" Matsumoto Haruna laughed. "But there's probably part of the reason that the other person looks a lot like Miyamoto-kun, right? Like a meal replacement?"

"No way!" Yukari Kojima immediately shouted, "Besides, if I really had feelings for Miyamoto-kun, that would have happened after I started pursuing Nana-chan, okay? You've got the order backwards!"

"So Miyamoto-kun is Nana-chan's meal replacement?"

"I already said no, this has nothing to do with meal replacements or anything. One is a classmate, the other is an idol, one is male, and the other is female. They are completely different things!" Matsumoto Haruna tried her best to refute her joke, but the other party finally hung up the phone angrily amidst Matsumoto Haruna's smiling voice.

Meanwhile, in a small office, a woman wearing glasses was excitedly shouting to a girl sitting on the sofa, "Ms. Hui, Nana-chan is third in the preliminary results of the general election!"

Upon hearing this, the girl called Hui immediately stood up and went to the woman with glasses. Looking at the screen on the computer and seeing that familiar name, she smiled and said, "She actually achieved such a result in the preliminary report? As expected of her!"

Her name is Megumi Amane, but she is better known by another name: Miya.

“We can’t fall behind either. How’s the personnel selection going?” Miya asked the woman with glasses. This woman was her manager and also the head of the agency.

"Quite a few people have signed up. Hearing that Ms. Hui is the main center of the current group, many want to join," the bespectacled woman immediately said. "Once selected, Ms. Hui can continue to stand on the idol stage as part of the group!"

Clenching her fist, Miya laughed: "Yeah, I'd better hurry up and catch up!"

Meanwhile, in distant Kyoto.

A woman dressed in a gorgeous kimono is looking at the screen in front of her. She slowly sips her tea, her movements slow and graceful, like an ancient noblewoman.

Not far away, many people were slowly dancing. The dance was extremely solemn, and every step was taken with great care.

"Teacher Hanayagi, what are you looking at?" a student who was resting nearby asked curiously.

"I'm just looking at how someone who didn't become my apprentice is doing now," Hanayagi Fangmingya said with a smile.

This surprised the man. The terms "student" and "apprentice" had completely different meanings for Hua Liu Fang Mingya. "Student" meant the same as her and the people dancing over there: pay money, go to school, it was that simple.

However, disciples are the so-called entry-level disciples, who, within a school of thought, are the ones who will truly inherit the mantle.

This custom is now rarely seen, but it is still preserved in some dojos and other older schools of thought, such as the tea ceremony.

The flower and willow fragrance and bright elegance in front of us represent the flower and willow style, which is also a kind of one!

Who on earth could make Yoshiaki Hanayagi, the teacher who represents the strongest classical dance in Japan, say such a thing?

This made him strain to look at the screen in front of Hanagi Fangmingya, trying to see what was written on it, and then he froze.

He recognized the information above; it was a preliminary report on SKR's general selection. But wasn't that what girl groups were all the rage these days? Someone rejected the teacher's invitation and went on to become a girl group idol?!

Does this guy even know what he's doing? He refuses to study and become a disciple of a Japanese classical dance master, instead choosing to become an idol that's everywhere? So what if he becomes an idol? So many people become idols, and wave after wave they get eliminated!

However, becoming a disciple of Hua Liu Fang Mingya is completely different. With such a master behind you and the title of her disciple, you can instantly become a celebrity!

Does this guy even realize what he's given up?!

Filled with envy, anger, and curiosity, he tried to suppress these emotions and asked in a low voice, "Who...who is that person?"

“The third one,” Hua Liufang said, taking another sip of tea. “They really seem to be working very hard; they’ve already reached this level.”

The third one?!

Looking at the name Miyamoto Nana written on it, the man's mind was filled with all sorts of entertainment news about this person. Isn't this the person who performed as a dancer when Hanayagi-sensei went to Tokyo to help train dancers for a film shoot?
