I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Shinomiya Emi thought for a moment, then stood up, bowed to the doctor, and walked toward her mother's room.

Behind her, Toshino Hideo reminded her again, "Remember, you absolutely cannot eat anything, and you mustn't feed your mother anything, understand?"

"I understand, doctor!"

……

She cautiously entered her mother's room and saw her daughter walk in. The woman smiled and said, "You're here. Did you go out to play today?"

"Yes, I went to see a show!"

Shinomiya Emi smiled as she approached her mother and sat down beside her. She reached out and grasped her mother's thin, withered hand. The once warm hand now felt so uncomfortable to touch, and this uncomfortable sensation made her feel even more distressed.

It's all because of the illness. If this illness is cured, Mom will definitely return to how she was before!

Shinomiya Emi hesitated, unsure of how to begin.

Just then, the mother said, "Did you come to talk to me about the treatment?"

"This one……"

"They suddenly stopped feeding me today. It's obvious they're planning to perform surgery on me. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Shinomiya Emi looked into her mother's eyes, which were incredibly clear, as if they saw through everything. However, she knew that she had to tell her mother about the surgery beforehand, so this didn't surprise Shinomiya Emi; instead, it relieved her.

Her mother's question immediately resolved the problem she had been having trouble bringing up.

She just needs to keep talking about this topic.

“I found a job that allows me to work while studying, and the treatment costs are covered in advance.”

These words immediately made the mother nervous. She frowned and asked, "The treatment fees are in advance? A job? What kind of job? How old are you? What kind of job can you do? It can't be something bad, can it?!"

"No, that's not true! I can do a normal job too!" Shinomiya Emi quickly said, "Mom, I just found a job as an idol!"

This only made the mother more nervous: "An idol? Could it be an underground idol? That's very tiring, even worse than working at a convenience store."

“No, it’s SKR, the biggest female idol group in Japan right now, so don’t worry!” Shinomiya Emi immediately explained, “I’m going to audition in July, and I can do this kind of work now. Plus, I can work while I’m in school, so don’t worry, Mom!”

Hearing this, the mother became somewhat puzzled.

"SKR?!"

Of course she knew SKR, they were currently the biggest female idol group in Japan, but the group was so popular, getting in must be incredibly difficult. Could her daughter really do it?!

"Oh my, it's true! The show I went to today was also an SKR show. The ticket was given to me by SKR's Miyamoto Nana. She told me to go and see what idols are all about so I can prepare for the auditions later!" To emphasize her point, Shinomiya Emi even brought up Miyamoto Nana directly.

This made the mother even more suspicious: "Miyamoto Nana? Did she give you the tickets to the performance today?"

“Yeah, otherwise, with SKR’s performance being so popular, I wouldn’t be able to get one.” Shinomiya Emi said, taking out a ticket that had already been cut up from her pocket and handing it to her mother: “Look, it’s just an SKR performance ticket.”

This statement was more convincing than the previous ones, which made the mother somewhat skeptical.

Is my daughter really that lucky to have been spotted by a talent scout from SKR?

"Alright, I need to go back and research SKR-related matters as soon as possible, otherwise the subsequent selection process might be dangerous!" Shinomiya Emi said, immediately standing up. "Mom, you must remember to listen to the doctor. As long as the surgery is done and you recover, we can be together again!"

Without waiting for her mother's reply, she immediately ran outside, saying, "I...I'm leaving now, remember to get some rest!"

Seeing Shinomiya Emi running so fast, her mother knew that the other woman was afraid to continue talking to her, which was why she chose to run away. She sighed and became even more worried.

Is it really that good? Is it just a coincidence?

Could she have been scammed?

If my daughter's future is ruined because of hundreds of thousands of yuan in medical expenses, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!

Just then, Dr. Hideo Toshino walked in.

Upon seeing Hideo Toshino, the mother quickly said, "Dr. Toshino, you've arrived! My surgery fee..."

Hideo Toshino smiled and said, "I thought she probably couldn't explain it clearly, so I came here to explain. Your treatment fee was paid by Nana Miyamoto from SKR. Nana Miyamoto came here yesterday to pay your treatment fee. She said it was paid in her private name. She has always had a good reputation, so there should be no need to worry."

Upon hearing Hideo Toshino's answer, the mother's eyes widened: "Is it really Nana Miyamoto from SKR?!"

Hideo Toshino nodded: "Yes, it's Nana Miyamoto. Although I don't watch idol dramas or anything like that, I still recognize her because she's so famous."

"It really is her?" Hearing this, the mother finally felt relieved about what her daughter, Shinomiya Emi, had said, but at the same time, she became even more surprised.

So Hyemi really is going to participate in SKR's idol audition. My current situation is very bad. Even if I get treatment, my future work ability will definitely not be as good as before. As members of a top idol group in Japan, SKR idols must have a good income. As for Hyemi, I can't count on that man. It seems not bad to have a job like this now...

This is Huimei's chance, and I should support her. I also need to consider the issue of repaying her medical expenses if she fails the audition. Even if I die now, it won't make a difference, since the medical expenses have already been paid. In that case, I can only get better and then help her pay off her debts.

Regardless, I must personally thank Miyamoto Nana in the future. It is truly rare for Emi to meet such a person under these circumstances!

Looking at the woman who was deep in thought and clearly relieved, Hideo Toshino smiled and slowly walked out.

Chapter 106 Relaxation

There were still quite a few people inside the theater.

Team 4 is home to a group of people who came together from the beginning.

Yurina Shimada was holding onto Haruka Kojima tightly, refusing to let go, which made Haruka Kojima give a wry smile: "Yurina, how about letting go of me?"

"No, I need to grab onto something soft to relax!" Shimada Yurina refused Kojima Haruka's request without hesitation: "Ah, the results of the general election are being announced tomorrow, I'm so nervous..."

Hearing her words, many people around her became nervous.

Tomorrow is the day the results of the final selection will be announced; in other words, tomorrow will be the day they reap the rewards of their year-long efforts.

"Thinking back to when we all came out together, Nai-chan was the first to go to Team K, and now she's on the same team as Miyu-chan. Mika-chan went to Team R and has graduated now. Nana-chan is on Team S, perfectly succeeding Ogi-chan. As for us, we're on Team 4, as an independent team..."

As Shimada Yurina finished speaking, a wry smile appeared on her face, and the others also wore wry smiles.

The formation of a brand new team is a sign of the operations team's trust in and recognition of them. This way, they won't be completely overshadowed by their seniors and can quickly rise to the top.

However, they also need to compete with the other three teams as a group.

They've worked incredibly hard to get to where they are now, but no matter how hard they try, the thought of the formidable competition in the other teams still puts immense pressure on them.

It wasn't just because of their strength, but also because I was very familiar with them and knew just how terrifying their power was.

This can be seen from the overall selection rankings over the past few years.

Hayami Asuka smiled and said, "Whether it's Nana-chan, Miyu-chan, or even Nana-chan's junior, Fuyuka-chan, they are all improving themselves rapidly."

"Yeah, everyone seems so amazing these days, charging forward like nothing can stop them." Haruka Kojima, the center of Team 4, said with a smile, then took a deep breath and clenched her fist: "But we have to keep going too, after all, we're Team 4 now, and we have to move forward for our idols' dreams!"

"Let's do it one more time, one more time before we go home!"

The group gathered around, then extended their right hands and placed their palms together.

Immediately afterwards, the most energetic member, Yurina Shimada, shouted, "Team 4!"

"Strive forward, never give up!"

"yeah!"

……

In Team S's dance practice room, Minami Sakagami said to the others, "Everyone, get a good rest today, and make sure you're all ready to give it your all tomorrow!"

Rina Asuka said from the side, "Okay, Apple, you should get some rest too, don't stay and work anymore."

“Yeah, I’ll go back early today too.” Sakagami Minami nodded, and then the others looked at Miyamoto Nana over there. They saw that Miyamoto Nana was looking at her phone very happily, and the phone was playing a new anime. Seeing this, the others were a little envious.

Asuka Rina couldn't help but exclaim, "Nana-chan is definitely in a completely relaxed state!"

"Yes, Nana-chan is in very good condition right now!" Sakagami Minami nodded, then walked over to Miyamoto Sei: "Nana-chan, watching anime is fine, but be mindful of the time, don't stay up too late tonight!"

"Hehe, I got it, Minami-senpai." Miyamoto nodded, then turned off the video. He then said, "Actually, it's not that I'm not nervous, it's just that I feel like watching anime can help me relax and make me feel better for the rest of the time."

After saying that, he gave a thumbs up: "Appropriate entertainment is good for physical and mental health!"

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Asuka Rina's eyes darted around, and she said, "Shall we go out and have some fun?"

Sakagami Minami hesitated: "Isn't it inappropriate to be so late?"

"I think it's a good idea!" Shiigishin Minami said as she walked in, her eyes sparkling, clearly very interested in Asuka Rina's suggestion to go out and have some fun. "I also think we could have a little something to drink!"

"No, no drinking!" ×2

In an instant, she was sealed away by Sakagami Minami and Asuka Rina.

This made Minami Shiigishi pout, but she was very obedient to the two of them, so she didn't object.

"Where's Nana-chan? Want to come along?" Asuka Rina looked at Miyamoto Sei, her eyes full of invitation.

Miyamoto thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll take the trouble to trouble you, senpai."

Rina Asuka smiled happily, saying with a gentle smile, "We're all companions, why bother us?"

Shiigishi Minami glanced at Sakagami Minami again and noticed that the other woman also looked expectant, so she chuckled to herself.

Seeing how much the three of them seemed eager to go out and have some fun, Miyamoto smiled to himself. He wasn't particularly keen on going out; if he could, he'd much rather stay home and play computer games.

However, it wasn't good for the three girls to be out late at night, especially since tomorrow was the final selection. He couldn't afford for anything to go wrong, so he figured it would be better if he went with them.

Although there's a high probability that nothing will go wrong, it's always good to be safe just in case.

And sometimes going out for a stroll doesn't seem to be a problem.

Just then, someone else walked in. Miyamoto turned around and saw that it was Nagasu Miyu, Watanabe Hikaru, and Yasunaga Mai.

Seeing these people, Miyamoto knew that the team's matter should be over, and everyone was now preparing to go home.
