I became a girl group idol for my sister.

One by one, people were mentioned in the past, but the names of Mika Komatsu and Nana Miyamoto still hadn't appeared.

Just when everyone was wondering whether or not Mika Komatsu's name would ever appear again, her name finally appeared.

"Next is sixth place, sixth place is..."

"Final votes: 95698. SKR Team R, Mika Komatsu!"

Mika Komatsu glanced at Miyamoto Sei, then stood up naturally, smiled, and walked over. Her smile was impeccable, like that of the most perfect actress.

"I never expected that Mikasako could achieve such results!"

"Sixth place! Two people from Stardust Girl actually defeated God!"

"She actually surpassed Lady Asiko!"

"Mika-chan, I love you!!"

"Ah, I'm so moved to see them rise step by step!"

The rankings were announced one by one again: fifth place, fourth place...

"Next up is third place, and third place is..."

"Final votes: 115983. SKR Team S, Watanabe Hikaru!"

At this point, everyone held their breath, waiting for the second place to appear.

Everyone knows that now is the final, most crucial moment.

Once the second place is confirmed, the first place can be determined.

"Yesterday's performance was absolutely amazing! I felt completely captivated," the host said.

"Yes, it's like iron being completely attracted by a magnet. The competition on stage can be so intense that it even makes me feel like I'm hallucinating. It's hard to imagine how the audience must feel."

After chatting for a while, the host finally took a deep breath and then made a loud announcement.

"Now, let's announce the second place winner. The second place winner is..."

"Final votes: 162820. SKR Team K, Naoki Sakurako!"

A deafening roar of cheers erupted as Naoki Sakurako stood up with a smile and walked onto the stage. Looking at her, the host laughed and said, "Wow, that's amazing! I never expected the votes to reach such a terrifying level."

"Eh? Really? But this is my all-out effort, because I made a promise with Nana-chan that I would give it my all during the general election!" Naoki Sakurako said into the microphone, while waving to Miyamoto Sei.

At this moment, everyone already knew who the champion of this final selection was. There was no need for any doubt; the only candidate had been determined.

The only thing everyone was curious about was how many votes Miyamoto Nana actually received.

"At the same time, I also have something to announce, right here!" Naoki Sakurako took a deep breath, then spoke into the microphone with a determined look on her face: "I, Naoki Sakurako, have decided to graduate from SKR!"

At this moment, the entire audience was in an uproar. The host was completely unprepared for such an incident; it was definitely an unexpected situation!

"Sakura is graduating!"

"As expected, she's graduating too. Ogiko-chan has already left, and now she's leaving as well. That's quite normal."

"But why announce it now?"

"Yeah, why announce it now? Is it because we lost?"

There was a buzz of discussion below, and many of the members covered their mouths. However, Naoki Sakurako was clearly not finished speaking. If she started talking about graduation, then the topic would focus less on the champion, which wouldn't do.

“Actually, Nana-chan and I made a promise. If she can put my mind at ease and defeat me, I will graduate from SKR and pursue my own dreams.” Naoki Sakurako said, bowing to Miyamoto Sei: “Thank you, you did it!”

After saying that, she smiled playfully: "But the pressure of being the champion is immense, you must hold on!"

"Don't worry, senior!" Miyamoto Seya smiled and nodded.

Finally, the last moment has arrived!

"Now for the moment everyone's been waiting for, but I'm sure you've all guessed the result. Even so, we're all curious about the exact number of votes. So, hereby announce the winner of the SKR 32nd Single General Election!"

The host paused briefly, then announced the result loudly.

"First place, with a final vote count of 167960, SKR Team S, Miyamoto Nana! Miyamoto Nana has reached the pinnacle of this year's competition!"

Miyamoto was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked forward.

He heard the cheers from the entire audience, a deafening roar, wave after wave, the shouts of the fans, their support for him.

Even though I had made preparations, I still couldn't hide my excitement.

His hands trembled slightly at this moment. He had finally stood in that position, in the first place of the general selection, and could sit on the throne called the champion!

He walked onto the stage, took the microphone, and bowed slightly to the crowd.

"Thank you all for your support. I really didn't expect to get this far at the beginning. Even though I told myself that I should stand on the stage of the selection group and stand in the champion's position, I still felt that my strength might not be enough. But thank you all for your support. Your support has made me realize that I can also stand on the throne that belongs to the champion!"

He reminisced about the past, about the things that made him laugh and cry. He knew that he had truly fulfilled a promise.

"16 votes, nearly 17 votes, this is truly an enormous gift, it feels like a dream! Please allow me to thank you all again here!"

With another bow, Miyamoto Sei smiled and raised the championship trophy. Naoki Sakurako then walked over; instead of sitting in second place, she reached out and embraced the junior who had defeated her.

"The future of SKR is in your hands, Nana-chan!"

She whispered in Miyamoto Sei's ear.

"Sakura-senpai, don't worry! I will!"

Hearing Miyamoto Sei's reply, Naoki Sakurako smiled even more broadly. She went behind Miyamoto Sei and gently pushed him towards the high platform, the place where the throne was placed.

"Go on, that's where you are. Walk there bravely and sit down. You sat down there last time too, but you weren't as scared as you are today. You were trembling!"

"Hehe, that's because I'm excited, not scared! I won't be scared by something like that!" Miyamoto said with a grin, taking a step forward.

Naoki Sakurako simply watched as her successor walked forward, until he arrived at the throne and sat down.

All the fans in the stadium and the viewers watching the live stream were watching this scene, this scene of the changing of the guard. They all knew very well that from today onwards, the world of SKR had changed!

The era of the older generation has finally come to an end, and the era of the new generation has officially begun!

Chapter Nineteen: The Unexpected Guest

Breaking news! Nana Miyamoto has won the SKR 32nd single general election with a whopping 16 votes!

[I really didn't expect that both of them would have over 16 votes, with 162820 and 167960 respectively. This is unbelievable! The difference in votes between them and the third and fourth place is just a huge gap!]

[This is normal. In fact, this possibility was pretty much foreseeable from the initial reports. Hikari didn't seem to be particularly keen on winning the championship this time, and the direct confrontation between Miyamoto Nana and Naoki Sakurako generated a lot of buzz. Most people's attention was focused on the two of them, as if everyone wanted to see them clash. And that's how the flames started to burn.]

[My prophecy was right! Nana-chan has officially become a god, and she's even reached the pinnacle of godhood!]

[The Divine Birth Bro is here! The Divine Birth Bro is amazing! He predicted it when Nana-chan first debuted!]

【Naimen! We kneel before the Goddess Nana, please grant us the power of an idol!】

[The scene of Sakurako watching Nana-chan ascend to the champion's throne during the transition between the old and new eras was absolutely wonderful!]

[What should I do? I think I'm starting to ship Nana and Sakurako, even though I used to be a fan of Miyu and Nana!]

[I'm different. I defected to the Dongxia-chan and Nana-chan CP a long time ago. Look at Dongxia-chan's actions at the scene this time, she just hugged her and kissed her. I felt so happy I was about to die.]

[This is such an unexpected incident! It doesn't seem like acting at all. Fuyuka really does like Nana-chan!]

Judging from Apple's expression—shock and anger—if they had kissed, I think Apple would have collapsed to the ground, hahaha!

[You guys are so mean! Apple is so cute, don't bully Apple! But the love triangle is so cool!]

[What love triangle? How could Nana have so few romantic pairings? Even though Ogiko-chan has graduated, I'll still firmly support Ogiko-chan and Nana-chan's pairing!]

[I'm different. I'll eat anything, so in my opinion, Nana-chan can be paired with anyone. If all else fails, just start a harem! After all, given Nana-chan's trajectory, she's definitely going to be the queen of all women!]

[Oh, oh, oh, that's right, it really is the Queen of Ten Thousand Females!]

[Look at my screenshot. I watched the live stream several times. Look here, at the interaction between Xiaoyu Yao and Nana-chan, it's obvious that Xiaoyu Yao and Nana-chan said something at this moment, and their eyes were full of longing and encouragement, and they seemed very gentle!]

[Ah, it's true! You're truly a master; did you check this frame by frame? I didn't even notice! I don't believe anything didn't happen between those two while Nana was in the role!]

[And here, after Apple was overwhelmed by Nana's aura and failed, his eyes showed a relieved, even gratified expression. I suddenly felt that Nana was practically SKR's darling.]

[Isn't Lady Asiko the same? She was so aggressive when she tried to stop us, but when she was defeated, she showed no anger whatsoever, and even smiled happily.]

[Let's not even talk about Hikari-chan. I heard that Hikari-chan calls Nana-chan "Big Sister," and even when she's defeated, she's all smiles and clings to her, refusing to let go.]

Online discussions always seem to veer off course in some strange way, twisting into something that everyone likes to see. For example, the discussion might have started with Miyamoto Nana winning first place in the general election, but then suddenly it would shift to topics about Miyamoto Nana and her romantic partners.

However, for Miyamoto Sei at this moment, this was not an important matter, or rather, he did not have time to look at such content, because he was currently in a barbecue restaurant. The huge private room had been booked by the SKR group. There weren't many people there, but they were all heavyweights.

Minami Sakagami, Tomomi Ito, Asako Kato, Rina Asuka, Hikaru Watanabe, Mai Yasunaga, and former champion Sakurako Naoki!

Aside from Higashi Hisako, who has already graduated, it's fair to say that all of the Shin-8 crew members are here!

Of course, besides them, there were other people, such as Shiigishi Minami, who was also a first-generation member, and Misaki Itsuki and Mimori Saika, who were second-generation members. They specifically dragged Miyamoto Sei here, insisting on some kind of celebration, eating meat and drinking alcohol.

"But Nana-chan can't drink alcohol!" Sakagami Minami said, hands on her hips. "After all, Nana-chan is only 18 years old!"

"I can't drink either, Nana-neechan, let's drink together~" Watanabe Hikaru said with a grin, clinging to Miyamoto Sei's arm.

Watanabe Hikaru is a few months older than Miyamoto Sei, and is currently 19 years old. He is also in the group that cannot drink alcohol.

At this moment, Miyamoto looked at Misaki Itsuki: "Itsuki-senpai, are we going back to SDK again this time?"

SDK, or overseas group, is located in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. With the help of Misaki Gowa and Takashiro Aki, they are developing very well and have already gained considerable popularity in the local area. If they continue to develop, they are expected to become the strongest idol girl group in Indonesia.

"I'm going back, I'm rushing back to participate in the general election this time." Misaki Itsuki smiled, "Seeing such an intense competition this time, I feel that choosing to come back to participate was definitely worth it!"
