I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"This is definitely something that Miyamoto-san's fans would love. The photo of her being held by Higashikuze is something that many people collect, and there are even a lot of fan art and derivative works!"

"A fan-made video?!" Miyamoto was taken aback, blinked, and immediately asked.

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Mizuhara Chizuki immediately stopped talking: "No, it's nothing!"

"Say!"

"It's really nothing, just some little stories written by fans," Mizuhara Chizuki said softly, while secretly glancing at Miyamoto Nana sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. She found that Nana was holding her phone and quickly typing something on it.

Immediately, she even started watching it herself.

"It was the fifth day after she finished her substitute service with Team R. Miyamoto Nana felt weak and sore all over. The high-intensity training made her feel like she had come to the wrong place, and she felt like she was about to be ruined."

A tall figure appeared not far away. Miyamoto Nana could see it clearly. Although the person was not really tall, the proportions of their legs and body made them look very good.

"Higashi Kuse Ogiko, the unmoving center of SKR, and the champion of the first general election, walked over to Miyamoto Nana, reached out her hand, and suddenly picked her up around the waist amidst Miyamoto Nana's exclamation."

"'Higashi Hisa-senpai, what are you doing?!' Miyamoto Nana whispered, her voice urgent. She felt her heart pounding wildly, and she was about to faint. She had actually been picked up by such a high and mighty senior."

"The ground is too cold. You're weak, and lying like this will make you catch a cold and get a fever." Higashikuze Ogiko's voice was so gentle that Miyamoto Nana's cheeks couldn't help but turn red. She felt incredibly excited at that moment, and her eyes involuntarily looked at the other person, but she kept looking away, afraid that her thoughts would be seen through.

Miyamoto read it very casually, and he even offered some comments.

"It's not bad, but it would be even better if you could add some detailed descriptions, such as how excited the author was at the beginning. No, it would be even better if you added some scenes of inner loneliness at the beginning."

"However, from my own perspective, this kind of thinking and attitude is a bit too OOC. I would never think like that, and I'm not that weak. The training I did during my graduate studies wouldn't have left me so exhausted that I would have collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up."

"Besides, Ogiko-senpai's personality is a bit out of character. She'll probably give me a sarcastic shake and then help me up."

Hearing the sounds behind her, Mizuhara Chizuki struggled to resist the urge to carve out a three-bedroom apartment from her car—it was just too embarrassing!

And why is he so calm? He's the person involved, so why can he so calmly comment on his own pornographic novel?!

"There are quite a few, huh? Not only is there Ogiko-senpai, but also Sakura-senpai? This is well written. Sakura-senpai is indeed a greasy old man!"

"Miyu has one, Mika has one, oh my, Fuyuka even has one, oh oh oh, and the sisterhood too, there are so many! Even Hikaru has one! Why does Minami-senpai's story become a love triangle?!"

While making comments, Miyamoto tidied up the website and then sent it out.

It's better to share embarrassment with everyone than to be embarrassed alone!

After sending them all out, Miyamoto Sei smiled, his mind at ease.

"By the way, does the production crew have any food for today's show?" he even asked Mizuhara Chizuki, who was driving in front.

"I don't know, is Miss Miyamoto hungry?" Mizuhara Chizuki asked hurriedly. She hoped that the other party would tell her what she had eaten and not say those things. It was fine for her to read them herself, but hearing the person in question read them out was too embarrassing for her!

As long as we don't talk about this, I wouldn't mind asking her to buy a whole truckload of food right now!

"I'm a bit hungry since I woke up so late at night. I'll buy some food from the convenience store near the entrance later," Miyamoto said. "I'll take some with me. If I buy a lot, I can give some to the staff too."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

“I’ll come too, we still have quite a lot of stuff,” Miyamoto said. “Anyway, it’s not urgent for those few minutes.”

……

When Miyamoto arrived at the place where Amagai Risa had called him, he was carrying a bunch of things. Mizuhara Chizuki, who was following behind him, was also carrying a bunch of things. Mizuhara Chizuki's things were naturally for the staff, while Miyamoto was carrying things for himself and for the people filming on set.

Besides him, there must have been others who were woken up by Amagai Risa, Miyamoto Sei was certain of that.

Sure enough, when they entered the live broadcast room, in addition to Risa Amagai, Hikaru Watanabe and Miyu Nagasu were also there.

Upon seeing Miyu Nagasu and Hikaru Watanabe, Miyamoto Sei roughly understood what Risa Amagai's true purpose was.

Using this kind of program as a foundation, we can increase the exposure of Yongan Meixi and also increase her fans.

By bringing along Miyamoto Nana and Watanabe Hikaru, it's possible to create the impression that Eian Miyu holds a very important position in SKR.

"Nana-chan!" Miyu Nagasu called out immediately upon seeing Miyamoto Sei.

When Watanabe saw Miyamoto Sei, he naturally called out his favorite nickname.

"Sister Qina!"

"So I was woken up in the middle of the night to participate in the program, Mr. Amagasa, don't you have any compensation for me?" Miyamoto Sei walked up to the group with a smile, and placed the bag in his hand on the table. Watanabe Hikaru immediately looked into it, not caring at all that his boss was right next to him: "Wow, it's all delicious!"

"How about I take you to New York for a trip?" Risa Tenbei said with a smile, then looked at the things Miyamoto Sei had brought: "I'm actually hungry, not bad."

Hearing the other person mention New York, Miyamoto was startled. He looked at Amagai Risa's expression. Although she seemed very natural, as if she had just made a casual joke, Miyamoto didn't think she was joking. Saying something like that on a TV show was like giving fans a heads-up.

"Let's look at the questions from the fans, see what they've asked." Risa Tenbei looked at the screen and randomly selected a question. "This is a good question, look, it's relevant to you."

"What does this have to do with me?" Miyamoto sat down, looking at the question on the screen. "Last time on the AJS show, Nana-chan admitted that she likes girls. So, if someone from the group confessed to her, would Nana-chan accept?"

Suddenly, several eyes turned to Miyamoto Sei. Nagasu Miyu looked curious, as did Watanabe Hikaru, though she seemed more interested in watching the show. As for Amagai Risa, her face, with its faint smile, revealed nothing of her thoughts.

"As expected of Tenbei-P, this question was perfect." Miyamoto muttered to herself, then said, "I won't accept it, because I'm an idol, and there's a no-dating rule. Joking about dating is fine, but I'll refuse if it's serious. The no-dating rule applies to both men and women, so it's not allowed."

"So what about this question?"

"Currently, Nana-chan and Miyu-chan are on two different teams as centers, and they are also competitors. Will this affect the future development of Stardust Girl?"

Looking at the question, Miyamoto smiled and looked at Nagasu Miyu, gesturing for her to answer.

Miyu Nagasu laughed too. She spoke softly into the microphone, but her voice was firm.

"Nana-chan and I have always been rivals. We are rivals, but we are also friends, so our competition will not affect the development of Stardust Girl!"

“That’s right, that’s my opinion too. Our competitive relationship will not affect the development of Stardust Girl!” Miyamoto Seya said with a smile.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Be Vigilant

"By the way, the single 'Lucky Evening Chocolate' with Nana-neechan and Miyu-chan as the center is about to be released! I really want to see it soon!" Watanabe Hikaru said with a smile, looking very excited. "Although I'd rather buy the game and manga, since it's a single by Nana-neechan and Miyu-chan, I'll definitely buy it!"

Watanabe Hikaru steered the conversation to her upcoming 33rd single. Having participated in this kind of program before and having served as the center for a long time, she naturally knew what she should do.

For example, right now, all we need to do is steer the conversation toward the new single and promote it.

Miyamoto Sei and Nagasu Miyu exchanged a glance and then both laughed.

"Hmm, I'm so touched that Hikaru-chan actually gave up spending her money on games!" Miyamoto's words made everyone burst into laughter. After all, everyone knew that for Watanabe Hikaru, buying manga and games was the most important thing.

"By the way, I heard you went to Ogiko's place today?" Amagai Risa suddenly said. Miyamoto glanced at her, not too surprised that she knew about this, after all, Higashikuze Ogiko and Amagai Risa had always been in contact: "I should say yesterday, it's past midnight now."

"Yes, that's right, it should have been yesterday, but that's not the point. The point is that you went to play with Ogi!" Amagai Risa said again, clearly, she brought it up on purpose.

Miyamoto even suspected that Higashikuze Ogiko had deliberately told him about this so that she could use it to get good results on the show.

"I went, chatted with Ogiko-senpai for a while, ate something, and then went home to rest. I hadn't been asleep long when you woke me up, Amagai-sensei, and dragged me here." Miyamoto said, then yawned again, which was completely on purpose: "So sleepy..."

"You're so young, yet you love to sleep so much. Can't you see an old lady like me still staying up all night?" Risa Tenbei said, picking up an ice pop and eating it. As she ate, she added, "By the way, you're going to write Stardust Girl's new song yourself. Wasn't the last one pretty good? Don't keep the fans waiting too long!"

"I feel like you're making things difficult for me, Tenbei-P!" Miyamoto immediately wailed, "I'm busy with all sorts of things every day, and you still want me to write lyrics?!"

"Wait, someone left you a message." Risa Amagai chuckled and selected a comment: "Let me see, please keep writing lyrics, Nana-chan. I will continue to support you, definitely! That's a very powerful statement, and your nickname is too easy to recognize. Yamashita, right now, with AJS, you have a performance tomorrow, right? Aren't you going to rest?"

Miyamoto looked and, sure enough, saw that the message was sent by someone called Independent Musician Aya. This wouldn't have been a big deal, but the person's following list was almost entirely composed of SKR members. However, this list shouldn't be enough to completely identify the person. Miyamoto suspected that Amagai Risa knew the person's ID.

Sure enough, the person called "Independent Musician Cai" immediately sent another message.

I'm going to bed now, goodnight everyone!

Yes, judging from this reaction, it really is Aya Yamashita.

……

Nanase Touka couldn't sleep. She was casually watching a program when she came across a live stream arranged by Amagai Risa. Seeing that Miyamoto Nana was also in the live stream, she became even more excited and all sleepiness vanished.

But as she looked at it, her brows furrowed.

"Nana-senpai actually went to see Higashi Hisa-senpai! Higashi Hisa-senpai seemed rather cold towards Nana-senpai, but are they actually that close?"

A sense of vigilance rose in Nanase Touka's heart. She watched the program while silently analyzing it.

It shouldn't be that bad. After all, it's only right for Nana-senpai to thank Higashikuze-senpai for his help this time, but to just go directly to his house like that, and act so naturally—no, if it's natural, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it...

No, that's not right. If it's natural, wouldn't that mean the two of them actually have a good relationship? If, if Higashikuze-senpai also likes Nana-senpai... wouldn't I be completely defeated in terms of figure, appearance, and even status?!

Moreover, in some ways, Higashikuze-senpai is older than Nana-senpai, more mature and more feminine. If this were in a game, she would be a total heartthrob for teenagers!

Nanase Touka became increasingly anxious as she thought about it. By the time she realized what was happening, the show was already coming to an end, and the live broadcast officially ended with everyone saying goodbye.

"Phew... Calm down. For Higashi Hisa-senpai, Nana-senpai is her successor and the current center of SKR, which is why she came here to help. It's natural for the two of them to have contact. For Higashi Hisa-senpai, Nana-senpai is the person who will support SKR for the next few years. Idols are forbidden from dating, so before graduation, for those people, senpai cannot be a romantic partner."

"However, for this single, Nana-senpai and Eian-senpai became the center together. With my grades, I couldn't possibly make it into the selection group to stand next to them. Although Eian-senpai isn't in the selection group either, she is the center of Team K. If I want to stand next to Nana-senpai, I'll have to keep working hard!"

"Solo, I must do my best to attract more people to become my fans with my own voice and my own singing, so that I can successfully reach a higher level and strive to stand next to Nana-senpai!"

Nanase Touka was thinking, and then she thought of something else.

"By the way, Yamashita-senpai also appeared just now. Was she only there to see Nana-senpai? She even sent comments to cheer for Nana-senpai. If she hadn't been seen through, wouldn't that be the same as cheering for her idol in the name of a fan?"

"The two of them were alone together at the hot springs last time at AJS, so what exactly happened between them back then? Although Yamashita-senpai seemed quite natural and didn't seem to have any problems when he left, something must have happened between them..."

"I have a feeling that Yamashita-senpai's attitude towards Nana-senpai is a little different!"

Nanase Touka thought to herself, feeling that she seemed to have more rivals now.

Chapter 40 Toei's Invitation

On September 11, SKR's 33rd single, "Lucky Evening Chocolate," was released. Just yesterday, three weeks have passed since the release of "Love and War." To date, "Love and War" has sold a total of 160.9 million copies.

Although fans typically concentrate their buying spree on the first day, and sales drop significantly afterward, even so, for "Love and War," which has already sold over 160 million copies, an increase of 34 copies since its initial release, this number is still quite substantial.
