I became a girl group idol for my sister.

The change from white to red only took a moment; her eyes were wide open, and it looked like tears were welling up in them.

Seeing this, Miyamoto began to wonder just how spicy this chili pepper really was. It could make someone cry instantly from the spiciness; that must be an incredibly high level of spiciness.

"Aaaaaah! This is so spicy! It's so hot!"

She put down the chicken wings, picked up the water glass next to her, and gulped it down. Sakagami Minami frantically fanned her mouth, but it was a drop in the ocean, or rather, it was completely useless.

And it was obvious that she couldn't possibly not finish her food; everyone was watching her.

"You have to finish it, no matter how you eat it, you have to finish it, otherwise it won't be considered a punishment."

Miyamoto asked Naoki Sakurako in a low voice, "What should we do? Naoki-senpai, Minami-senpai probably won't be able to eat this."

“She’s the one among us who can handle the spiciest food, so it’s a bit tricky now. Besides, this is a live broadcast, so she has to finish it…” Naoki Sakurako said softly with a smile on her face.

The show is being broadcast live, so I have to finish eating...

Miyamoto looked at Sakagami Minami with concern, noticing that her face was flushed and tears were streaming down her face, but she still managed to finish the chicken wing.

After finishing her meal, she kept her eyes closed for a while before looking at the other person again.

"Yo, Minami Sakagami is back!"

Her hands, resting below, were trembling slightly; clearly, she hadn't yet recovered from the intensely spicy stimulation.

This is too much... It's not just dancing and singing, do they have to put in this much effort on variety shows too?

Just because you're an idol?

Miyamoto felt a little uncomfortable. Although she didn't know the exact spiciness level, her reaction told her it must be very spicy.

"So, for the second question, what is the full name of the third president of the United States of America?"

Upon hearing the question, Miyamoto covered his face, certain that Sakagami Minami still wouldn't be able to answer it.

"Ding!"

"Thomas Jefferson!"

"Correct answer! So, the loser is still the idol Sakagami Minami, who can only enjoy our delicious super spicy chicken wings again!"

The corners of their mouths under the masks were all smiles, and Sakagami Minami, looking at the chicken wings that were being served, already had a look of resignation to her fate.

The chicken wing she just ate had already caused her extreme pain; her mouth was still burning and her stomach was churning. If she ate another one, she felt she might need to take medicine.

However, I really don't know the answer to the question, but I still have to eat it.

But if we don't eat, we might be accused of being arrogant, and today is the first time the three graduate students are on a variety show, so we can't mess this up.

Thinking of this, Sakagami Minami took a breath, mustered her courage to risk her life, and reached for the chicken wing.

"Wait a minute, I have a question."

The sudden sound gave her a brief respite, and she knew who the voice belonged to.

Qina, what is she going to do?

Looking at Miyamoto Nana, Sakagami Minami noticed that Miyamoto Nana was looking at the host with a hint of doubt.

"If you have any questions, you can speak up directly."

"So, the rule just said that you have to finish the chicken wings no matter what, right?"

"That's right, that's what they say."

Upon hearing the confirmation, Miyamoto laughed.

"So that means it doesn't really matter who eats it, as long as it's finished?"

The host was stunned, as were the others, while the person in charge watching backstage narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.

"This girl, is she trying to eat it for someone else?"

He picked up the microphone and said a few words.

Upon hearing the voice of the person in charge coming through the headset, the host on stage immediately said to Miyamoto Sei, "Yes, but if it's a substitute, then you have to eat double the amount of super spicy chicken wings."

What was happening was clearly visible to many people watching the program on TV, and everyone immediately took notice upon hearing about the double extra spicy chicken wings.

"Is she crazy? Double the punishment, won't she get a stomach hemorrhage?"

"Who is this person? I heard they're a graduate student from the girl group SKR?"

"Miyamoto Nana? The one who was carried in a princess carry by Higashi Hisagi Ogiko last time?"

Some people even picked up the phone and called their friends.

"Look at today's super spicy hell, there's an amazing twist!"

The show's popularity is indeed on the rise.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Miyamoto Nana's Provocation [Third Update]

The production team's backstage area.

Watching what was happening, the person in charge smiled, appearing unusually happy, showing no concern whatsoever for this unexpected event.

"Let me see what you choose. Double the extra spicy chicken wings, this is no joke."

The staff member standing nearby looked at the person in charge with some confusion.

"Is this okay?"

"How could there be a problem? This is also a surge in popularity, and it's even more popular than before!" The person in charge stared intently at the screen, waiting for the girl who stepped forward to make her choice.

Sakagami Minami gave Miyamoto Sei a hard look, telling him not to do that, while Naoki Sakurako quickly whispered, "Double punishment, don't do anything reckless. Five chicken wings is enough, whether it's me or Minami-chan, we can manage to get through it. If we're lucky, it would be even better if we could defeat a few of their people."

Miyu Nagasu and Mika Komatsu also looked at Miyamoto Sei with worried expressions, wondering what he was going to do.

At this moment, Miyamoto's smile became even wider.

Double? Is there really such a good deal?

The person in charge was completely stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, hahaha, good, this is great, I like this girl. Promise her you'll give her double the amount. Whether she succeeds or fails, the show's popularity today is already guaranteed!"

Having received instructions, the host naturally knew what to do and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Oh! Ladies and gentlemen, please note that Ms. Miyamoto Nana, a graduate student at SKR, has issued a challenge to resolve the punishment for Sakagami Minami, and she seems to disdain the double punishment. Will we be able to see reality as she says, and truly be able to disdain it?"

Miyamoto Sei likes spicy food, but the rest of his family doesn't eat spicy food, so he often cooks his own spicy special for himself.

However, regardless of the circumstances, that's within the normal range of spiciness.

Even so, Miyamoto was almost certain that he was the one among those present who could handle the spiciest food.

Seeing Miyamoto Nana, who unhesitatingly chose to eat the double punishment for her, Sakagami Minami's eyes welled up with tears again.

My heart is beating very fast, but it shouldn't be because of the spiciness or any other problem; it must be something else.

I had this feeling before, when I was in the hospital.

"Qi Nai-chan..."

Her voice was trembling with tears.

"I can handle spicy food really well, don't worry!"

Giving a thumbs-up, Miyamoto looked at the two chicken wings that were placed in front of him and even wiped his mouth with his hand.

"Haha, this person must be a foodie!"

"They're treating punishment like a reward!"

This caused everyone watching TV to burst into laughter.

I picked up a chicken wing, gently opened my mouth, put the chicken wing into my mouth, and then took a bite.

The stimulating flavor exploded on my taste buds, and the spiciness was much higher than what I usually eat. This level of spiciness is definitely not something that ordinary people would choose to eat. Even in many places where people can handle spicy food, this level of spiciness is definitely something that only a few people would choose.

Before his rebirth, Miyamoto had the privilege of experiencing this level of spiciness three times, and each time he was deeply impressed by it.

I never expected to eat it again on this variety show today.

If I had to give a rating, it would be several times spicier than bird's eye chili or anything like that.

The first bite was indeed incredibly stimulating, even exceeding what one could normally tolerate.

If Miyamoto were to eat something this spicy on a regular basis, he would first spit it out, then find some hot water to temporarily numb his tongue.

However, since this was a recording of a program, and it was a punishment he had voluntarily helped Sakagami Minami with, he couldn't refuse to eat it. So, after chewing it a few times, Miyamoto Sei swallowed it.

Her mouth was burning, and her stomach was starting to feel hot too, but with the help of the Heavenly Demon Form, she successfully controlled her facial expressions and kept smiling.

After quickly finishing the first chicken wing, Miyamoto picked up the second one and said something into the microphone while eating.

"If you fry it a little longer, I think it will taste even better."

"Ms. Miyamoto's remarks were full of provocation! It's really amazing that she can talk so naturally while eating such spicy chicken wings, and she's even laughing! I'm starting to wonder if she's been replaced by a fake one backstage."

As the host spoke, he leaned over and gently sniffed the plate, then his expression immediately changed and he ran away.

"It's not fake, just smelling it is so stimulating! It's terrifying, what is Miyamoto-san's mouth made of?! She didn't even drink water! I feel like if I ate this stuff, my stomach would definitely give out, and I'd probably have to take the next few days off."
