I became a girl group idol for my sister.

The girl with a single ponytail, dyed pink, was called Kojima Yukari, according to Miyamoto Sei. She was probably classified as a gyaru (a type of sexy girl) who was quite outgoing.

"Shut up, it's the same as you chasing after handsome guys. If we're disgusting, you'll do the same!!" Then she was met with a counterattack from the angry fans.

"That's right, they're all the same, so let's not argue!"

"The problem is we're looking at handsome guys, but you guys are looking at SKR, right? Are there really any good-looking people among them?" Yukari Kojima asked the most stern question.

What's the most important thing to get into SKR? Is it your face?

No, it's about being approachable!

If the public were to rank the most attractive idols, very few members of the SKR girl group would make it into the top ten, and perhaps none at all.

But for fans, being pretty isn't important.

"Hikari-chan is the cutest in the world!"

Kenta Iwagami's shout demonstrated his dedication as a true fan!

"That's right! Nana-chan is amazing too!" The boy, who was clearly a fan of Miyamoto Nana, immediately pulled out a photo: "She blows you all away!"

Miyamoto Sei, standing to the side, wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground. Hearing others talk about him like this was just too embarrassing!

And that last sentence was quite aggressive!

"Oh? You're that confident?"

Surprisingly, Yukari Kojima didn't get angry at these words. She reached out and snatched the photo from the boy's hand.

"Photos! My photos!"

Ignoring the piercing screams, Yukari Kojima looked at the photos with the women next to her and scoffed.

If it were just a pretty face, that would be one thing, but the sunny smile on her face, a gentle yet masculine feeling, gives people a very unique feeling. Just looking at this photo, you feel a sense of being infected.

Even though I'm considered pretty in school, looking at this photo makes me feel like I've lost.

Moreover, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before, maybe on some TV show?

She tried to recall where she had seen this person before, but she couldn't remember where. In the end, Yukari Kojima gave up and threw the photo on the table.

"It's nothing special!"

"Hmph! A woman like you would never understand why idols who sweat and toil are so attractive!" The boy snatched his treasured photo and put it away, his tough demeanor returning once more.

"Yes, yes, I really don't understand." With a perfunctory wave of her hand, Yukari Kojima ignored the boys and said, "You guys can continue chatting, but class is about to start."

After saying that, he jumped off the table and walked outside.

She was from another class. Miyamoto remembered her name simply because she was considered one of the most beautiful girls in school, and she often came to visit her friends.

As she walked, she thought about the name in the photo and muttered to herself.

"Miyamoto Nana...?"

Seeing all this, Miyamoto couldn't help but glance out the window.

Normally, I probably wouldn't think it had anything to do with me, but this time, someone is my fan, so the feeling is different.

Shame?

shame!

But besides feeling ashamed, seeing how much support his fans were willing to give him also stirred up another emotion.

Moving!

Even if you don't see the other person in the theater, that person is still your fan, just like the person who cheers for you in the theater!

Since the start of his performances, he has gained a group of people who cheer him on and encourage him.

This is a group of people who stand up for Miyamoto Nana and argue with others based on reason!

If his earlier words to his companions were partly chosen to encourage them, Miyamoto Sei now understood that those words had a real effect on him as well.

Treat tonight's variety show like a public performance and give it your all!

……

Meanwhile, in Grade 11 (B) class.

"The teacher has a bad cold and can't come to class, so this period is for self-study."

As the class representative spoke, a group of students cheered, while Yukari Kojima, who had returned to her seat, turned on her phone and put on her headset.

She typed "Miyamoto Nana" into a video website, and immediately a number of videos popped up.

However, these videos are obviously edited, and it's not that easy to see the full version.

I opened a video uploaded by an UP named "秋48" with a title like "20160916R Performance Miyamoto Nana cut". The video was very short, only about three minutes long, but watching the girl dancing in the video with a sunny smile on her face, it seemed that no danger could defeat her, and you couldn't help but forget the sentence written in the description.

[At the time, the girl standing on the stage was running a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius. To avoid disappointing her fans, she persevered on stage for a full hour without showing any sign of discomfort. That's what a true idol is!]

Chapter Thirty-Three: Determination [First Update]

In the afternoon, Miyamoto, along with Komatsu Mika and Nagasu Miyu, arrived at the location of the van, which would take them to the filming location of the program.

Then, on the bus, Miyamoto saw someone she knew.

"Minami-senpai! Naoki-senpai!"

On the bus, I saw Minami Sakagami and Sakurako Naoki from Team K, and it was just the two of them.

Is it really okay to have only two official team members?

But this explains why it was a van instead of a bus; they only needed to transport five people, so a bus wasn't necessary.

"Ah, it's Nana-chan. I heard that some graduate students are participating this time, and I was wondering if you would come. Sure enough, you guessed right."

Sakagami Minami smiled at Miyamoto Sei and said that, but looking at that smile, Miyamoto Sei inexplicably felt that the smile seemed a little stiff.

"Long time no see, Nana-chan." Naoki Sakurako greeted Miyamoto Sei, then instantly stood up and appeared behind Nagasu Miyu.

"ah!"

As expected, a gasp escaped her lips. After all, it was Naoki Sakurako, the legendary Sakura-san of SKR, who made a move and completely grabbed the girl's chest.

"Ah, youth is wonderful, it feels so good to touch!"

"Senior!"

"Hey Hey."

She let out a laugh that sounded like a pervert, and Naoki Sakurako showed no sign of letting go.

Mika Komatsu quickly found a seat and leaned back against a cushion to avoid being ambushed later.

"Sakura, stop right now! We're about to leave!"

Sakagami Minami quickly went over, grabbed Naoki Sakurako's hand and pulled her to a seat, thus freeing Nagasu Miyu from the clutches of evil.

However, the price was that Sakagami Minami was hugged by Naoki Sakurako again halfway through.

"Nan-chan, I can handle your body too!"

"You're a pervert! Let go!"

"Who told you to never take a bath together when we go out!"

Seeing Naoki Sakurako giving Sakagami Minami a bear hug, Miyamoto Sei instinctively chose to stay put. If he went to help at this moment, he might become the target of an attack himself, since he had already been attacked once before.

However, it turns out that Senior Nan doesn't like taking baths with others, so he probably doesn't go to hot springs or public bathhouses very often.

Miyamoto thought to himself.

"Senior, may I ask what the specific activities are for today?"

Mika Komatsu asked at this moment, which allowed Minami Sakagami to successfully use work as an excuse to push Sakurako Naoki away and enter work mode.

Miyamoto looked at Komatsu Mika, who quietly gave him an OK sign.

Seeing Mika Komatsu like this, Miyamoto Se also laughed. As expected of her senior, she has a wealth of experience.

"Today's variety show is mainly about pranks, so you all need to be mentally prepared. In order to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the show, there will be no rehearsals, so please be careful."

It's a prank show, just like I expected. But I almost never watch prank shows, I wonder what kind of trouble they'll cause this time...

Miyamoto thought to herself, feeling that Amagai Risa was absolutely crazy for suddenly asking her to participate in a variety show.

However, he still smiled and nodded, looking very enthusiastic.

"Understood, senior, we will be careful!"

"Speaking of which, Nana, your performance was a great success! I think you'll be very busy from now on, probably starting to replicate the previous performances," Sakagami Minami said to Miyamoto Sei, but actually she was also speaking to the three graduate students.

"It's highly likely that they'll be chosen from the R performance, probably R5th. The style should suit Ms. Yong'an well, since Team R is all about cuteness. But that means it'll be a half-hour performance."

The so-called R5th refers to Team R's fifth performance. The current Team R will definitely have new performances, while old performances such as trainee songs will be re-enacted. In addition to not composing new songs for trainees who have not yet made it big, it also serves as a way to train trainees.

It can be said that the start of replicating the performances means that the graduate student team has truly come into the spotlight of the operations team and has begun to be taken seriously.

"Senior, are you telling the truth?!" It was Miyu Nagayasu who exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with excitement, having already forgotten about being groped by Sakurako Naoki just now.

"Highly likely, based on my experience, that should be the case," said Sakagami Minami.

"That's great, Nana-chan, Mika-chan, now we can start the real performance!"
