I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"Then I'll wish you all the best, you must make it to the Grammys!" Miyamoto laughed, reaching out to shake the other's hand: "You definitely can, because you're the best among us!"

"It feels a little strange saying that to you, considering your grades are better than mine," Mika Komatsu muttered for a moment, then laughed. "But it's true, I'm the best!"

"I bought it!" Just as the two were talking, Yongan Meixi ran back happily, holding a three-pack of milk tea. "Here you go!"

"Wow, there are so many pearls and coconut meat inside! Did they add extra ingredients?" Mika Komatsu exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the ingredients inside.

"No, I didn't say anything about adding any extra toppings or anything like that," Miyu said, somewhat puzzled. Then she looked at the milk tea in her hand. "Yeah, there seem to be a lot of toppings! Is today some kind of special offer?"

"Probably not. It's probably because Miyu-chan is so cute that this is an extra service," Miyamoto said with a smile. "Or maybe they recognized you and this is a small gift."

"Eh?! Really? Then I'll go back and say thank you now!" Miyu said, and quickly ran back. Miyamoto Sei wanted to stop her, but Miyu ran very fast and had already run far away.

"Isn't that why she's so popular? But it's precisely because of her personality that she's so beloved by her fans," Mika Komatsu remarked. "However, it must be a bit awkward for the shop assistants."

"I think it's alright. Aside from being embarrassed, the clerk is probably mostly excited. Her little secret was noticed and she was thanked. I think she'll become a die-hard fan." Miyamoto watched the situation from afar. It was obvious that the clerk's face was flushed with excitement, and her smile was hard to hide. She even took the opportunity to ask for an autograph.

“If my idol is like this, I think I will definitely support him to the end,” Miyamoto said.

"So your idol is Miyu?"

"No, to me everyone in SKR is great, but if I had to pick an idol, it would definitely be someone like Kiriyama Ren. I wish I had the chance to participate in the filming of the Kamen Rider Fuuto Detective movie. I'd be perfectly happy to play a villain, and I wouldn't even need an appearance fee." Miyamoto muttered, "I guess you could call this a fangirl's idea."

Mika Komatsu looked at Nana Miyamoto beside her, who was acting like a fangirl, and after thinking for a moment, she laughed too.

"I'm back!" Miyu Nagasu ran back again, jogging over to the two of them. The three of them casually found a place to sit down in the park, intending to rest for a while.

“This time you two can work together, while I’ll be alone…” Miyu Nagayasu muttered, then smiled again: “But I have to be on my toes, after all, I’m the Center this time!”

“You will be the center of Team K from now on,” Mika Komatsu said.

Miyu Nagayasu was stunned for a moment, then whispered in protest, "This...how is this possible?!"

She then looked at Miyamoto Nana beside her, only to find that Miyamoto Nana did not seem surprised at all, appearing very calm, as if this speculation was neither a joke nor some kind of explosive news.

Miyamoto Nana's reaction startled Nagasu Miyu.

"Could it be... could it really be that possible?! But there are clearly many people in Team K who are better than me, not to mention Mi-chan is also in Team K. She's a first-generation member, one of the original members, and her seniority is definitely higher than mine!"

“Your ranking is higher than Mi-chan's, there’s no doubt about that.” Mika Komatsu looked at Miyu Nagayasu with a serious expression: “You’ve worked so hard to get this far, don’t forget to acknowledge your own abilities.”

"I……"

"Miyu-chan, we made a promise back then, we were going to stand on that stage together." Miyamoto looked at Nagaan Miyu and said with a smile, "This year you are 17th, the center of Under Girls, and you have finally completed your initial accumulation. I believe that if you are good, you can stand in the selection group next year, or even defeat the god of the new generation!"

"me?"

Are you content to just stand far behind me?

"Hoo..." Upon hearing this, Yongan Miyu took a deep breath, recalling the figure that had stood in front of her. Although the person had changed recently, the memory was still so vivid. She believed she would never forget these memories in her lifetime.

Then, she shook her head: "No, what I want is to stand by your side, Nana-chan!"

Miyamoto laughed and said, "So, if you really want to be the center of Team K, then you should take on this challenge."

Beside her, Mika Komatsu casually remarked, "In a way, Team K has been Team S's formulaic rival since its inception. If you take over Team K's Center position, it means that you will be representing Team K in a formal declaration of war against Team S, which might recreate the glory days when Higashi Hisaji Ogiko and Naoki Sakurako faced off."

Mika Komatsu smiled slightly as she said this: "Of course, this is actually the third generation. The second generation was a battle between Sakurako Naoki and Nana Miyamoto, but it was still a battle between Team S and Team K. But don't forget the sister group. Everyone is eyeing the championship position, and the most ambitious one is SKG!"

“The members of SKG are very talented and hardworking, and Jurina is also very hardworking. Even though she is so young, I can see that she is serious about being an idol and wants to surpass SKG to become number one.” Miyamoto said, “So we are not only rivals to each other, but we also have our own rivals as a whole.”

"I understand! If it really is me, I will accept it!" Miyu Nagayasu nodded, her eyes filled with unwavering determination, but then she became puzzled again: "But why do you say it's me?"

"So you didn't notice it before? Although it's common for seniors to promote juniors in SKR, you've experienced many things in Team K that others don't have the opportunity to do. For example, being dragged by Naoki Sakurako to participate in various activities, and she must have talked to you a lot during breaks, like how to perform better on shows and such." Mika Komatsu said helplessly, "Don't tell me you didn't notice these things."

"Yes, I know that. Sakura-senpai is a very nice person!"

"You just think this is a senior helping a junior?!" Mika Komatsu glared at him, while Miyamoto Sei sighed, "She's training a successor. She selects future successors from among talented and hardworking people and gives them more experience. This is a fairly common practice. Of course, it still depends on their performance."

"But I only ranked 17th..."

“That’s enough,” Miyamoto said with a smile. Komatsu Mika took a sip of her milk tea before saying, “We all know why you went to Team K: to make up for your weaknesses. And now those weaknesses have been made up for. That’s different from me and Nana… Nana, never mind, she’s an exception.”

"Hey, why are you talking like I'm a monster?!" Miyamoto immediately protested from the side.

“Yes, you are a monster.” Mika Komatsu nodded without any politeness, and then continued, “It’s normal that you were working in an area you weren’t good at before, but you were able to reach your current level under such circumstances. Now that your weakness is gone, the real take-off stage is about to begin.”

"Huh? Really?!"

"Hey, you were the one who suggested making up for our weaknesses, didn't you even consider this when things got to this point?!" Mika Komatsu shouted again.

"No, I decided to join Team K because I felt I needed to improve my weaknesses. I also felt responsible to my fans by improving my skills. I also learned dance techniques based on what my fans wanted. Thanks to this, I've learned quite a few new dances!"

Miyu Nagaan became excited as she spoke.

"By the way, I learned this from Nana-chan. I saw Nana-chan perform in the park when she was with SKG, and I felt that this could also make up for my shortcomings in dancing. So I asked fans online and learned some other dances based on their suggestions. It was really useful. It made learning the dances for new songs and other things much easier later on!"

Seeing Miyu Nagayasu working tirelessly because of her fans and to repay them, Mika Komatsu couldn't help but facepalm.

"Forget it, you can just keep doing this. There's no need to think about the future in advance. I was wrong to think you would plan everything from the beginning."

“But it’s very appealing, isn’t it?” Miyamoto said from the side. “It’s because of this passionate, undisguised affection for the fans that it attracts so many people.”

“Then you’re in for a tough time, since your next opponent is going to be very strong.” Mika Komatsu laughed as well. “But I don’t need to worry about that.”

“Your stage is international; it must be more tiring than mine.”

"I will not admit defeat."

"Huh?! What international stage?" Miyu Nagayasu looked at the two of them curiously: "What are you talking about?"

Mika Komatsu looked at Miyu Nagayasu and smiled: "I'm planning to graduate."

The sound was soft and calm.

"What?! Graduation!" Miyu Nagayasu exclaimed in surprise, only to have Mika Komatsu cover her mouth. "Wait, don't shout so loudly! I was worried you'd shout like that, so I didn't tell you at first. This is outside!"

Looking around and finding that she hadn't attracted anyone's attention, she breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.

Once released, Miyu Nagaan immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

"Why do we have to graduate? We clearly had the chance to stand together! What will happen to Stardust Girl if we graduate?! And aren't we doing really well at SKR right now?"

But after asking the question, looking into Mika Komatsu's eyes, she suddenly shut her mouth, feeling that she understood something.

“Because I also have my own dreams. From the beginning, I used SKR as a stepping stone. Now I have enough momentum to graduate from SKR and move forward with this momentum to create my own future.” Mika Komatsu said, “But it probably won’t be that soon. I can probably stay with you guys for a few more months.”

"Then, you must do your best! The stage in America is definitely bigger than in Japan, right? You can face the whole world. I believe that Mika-chan can definitely create her own future!" Miyu Nagayasu said slowly. She no longer tried to persuade him to stay, and her tone became firm: "And I believe that SKR can also break into the European and American markets. Maybe we can meet again then!"

"Don't worry, this guy over here said that Stardust Girl won't disband for several years. As for why it's several years, I don't know the reason." Mika Komatsu pointed at Miyamoto Se and said with a grin, "Maybe you can dig out the reason."

"Huh? They're not going to disband?!"

"No, not at all. If they really have to disband, I'll argue with the higher-ups." Miyamoto nodded. "I believe Amagai-P will consider my opinion!"

"So that means we can continue to work together as Stardust Girls in the future?"

"We should be doing shows together, but most of the time it will probably be online radio, since we're not physically together."

"That's no problem at all!" Miyu Nagayasu exclaimed happily, "As long as we continue to work together!"

Seeing her happy expression, Miyamoto Sei and Komatsu Mika exchanged a glance and both laughed.

"By the way, what's your goal? Is it to retain the championship title, or something else?" Mika Komatsu asked Miyamoto Sei, which made Miyu Nagayasu look at Miyamoto Sei as well; they both wanted to know the answer.

"It's not just about retaining the championship title; of course, I also hope someone can defeat me. As for other goals... raising SKR's status again seems like a good idea, like what Miyu said, SKR going to Europe and America, that sounds amazing!"

Miyamoto said with a smile that he remembered clearly that Risa Amagai had contacted him to discuss the European and American markets, but at that time he recommended seizing the mobile video media market.

I don't know how things are going with this part now.

Perhaps I should ask her tomorrow. With Tenberisa's discerning eye, she might have already been up to something big behind the scenes.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Winter and Summer Plans

The night was quiet. Miyamoto lay in bed, the huge window offering a panoramic view of the nightscape outside.

Gazing at the twinkling starlight in the night sky, Miyamoto Sei's thoughts drifted.

Since winning the general election, Miyamoto Se hasn't checked the system interface for several days. Perhaps it's because he feels much more at ease after winning and doesn't need to check how many die-hard fans he has for the time being.

Now that he suddenly remembered this matter, Miyamoto Sei casually opened his system interface, intending to see how many fans he had gained so far.

[Name: Miyamoto Sei]

Reputation: 4168

Level 6: Famous in the Region

Experience value: 4168/6400

Points: 246

Note: Reputation can only be increased when someone genuinely admires the host from the bottom of their heart. Each person provides 1 point of reputation, and it cannot be obtained repeatedly.

Looking at the numbers before him, Miyamoto Sei showed a surprised expression.

"It's already over 4000! But I only managed to defeat Sakura-senpai thanks to this level of skill... Although this cheat is usually barely noticeable, it's still a cheat. Both the effects of the Heavenly Demon Three-Piece Set and the exchange time have helped me a lot, but even with this boost, I could only barely defeat Sakura-senpai..."

"call……"

As he slowly exhaled, Miyamoto Sei once again felt the terrifying strength of the second-generation SKR champion. Considering that she and Higashikuze Ogiko were at roughly the same level, a smile and a hint of regret appeared on Miyamoto Sei's face.

"I really want to stand on the stage of the general selection with Ogiko-senpai and see who is more amazing!"

He raised his hand, clenched it in mid-air, then released it, and it landed on the bed.
