I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"That means the siblings are on the same page; they both thought to call their older sister." Miyamoto Sei said with a grin on the other end of the phone, "But why is she calling? Is something wrong?"

Generally speaking, Yukiko Miyamoto can go home every week to rest on weekends, and she can also go home whenever she wants during the week. So if she calls home, it's most likely because something is wrong.

"Of course it's something, something very important to Yukiko," Miyamoto Rina said with a smile. "After all, her idol, Miyamoto Nana, is extremely important to her!"

When Miyamoto heard her sister say that, she didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only say, "That has nothing to do with me."

“Well, it has nothing to do with you as the older brother. No, you can’t say that, it’s still somewhat related.” Miyamoto Rina said, then thought for a moment, “She just watched a variety show and saw someone asking Ogiko-chan some relationship questions, and then making fun of the drama she filmed with you, so she got excited and told me about it.”

"You're making fun of the drama I filmed with Ogiko-senpai?" Miyamoto was taken aback, but immediately recalled the drama they had worked on together, "Because of Love, So It's Okay," and quickly understood what they were joking about.

"Ah, they're probably talking about how well the two of them acted in the drama, so whether they're together in real life or not," Miyamoto said nonchalantly. "That's normal. After all, shows and such will use these kinds of popular topics to generate buzz."

Seeing how naturally Miyamoto Sei spoke, Miyamoto Rina said, "So, you think all of this is perfectly normal and there's absolutely no need to worry about it?"

"Fans might care, after all, there are fans who like all sorts of pairings, but for someone like me who's an idol, I'm just like everyone else, there's no difference." Miyamoto said, then asked curiously, "So, this matter has nothing to do with Miyamoto's identity, so why do you say it has to do with me?"

"Because, no matter what, Miyamoto Nana and Miyamoto Sei still look quite similar. So after seeing this, your sister naturally started to worry about your marriage and whether you would end up alone. That's why I said it's related."

Hearing this, Miyamoto was taken aback, then quickly said, "Sister, you're not here to pressure me too, are you?! You know I can't possibly be thinking about these things right now!"

Hearing the declaration that the other party made so readily, Miyamoto Rina shook her head, but then, remembering that the other party couldn't see it, she couldn't help but give an awkward smile, and then said, "No, I just told you what she was thinking. I also understand the requirements of idol work, so I definitely won't rush you."

Rina Miyamoto said, then thought for a moment before continuing, "But you'll probably start dating after you go to university, right?"

“Ah, of course! I’m not a monk!” Miyamoto immediately said. “Why do I feel like you’re making it sound like I’m completely free from worldly desires? But the prerequisite is still finding someone you like.”

As he said this, several figures flashed through his mind. He had met many people by now, and the vast majority of them were girls. Although he didn't think about these things too much because of his work, now that he thought about it, there were indeed some people he had a slight special feeling for...

Realizing this, he paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I really have no intention of becoming a monk of that school who doesn't marry or have children."

"Okay, I got it. By the way, I heard you're getting along with quite a few girls these days?"

"Huh?" Miyamoto Sei sensed something was off about those words and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"Yukiko said that you have dozens of girls you are close to now."

"Pfft!" Miyamoto Sei almost burst out laughing, but with a helpless smile on his face, he said, "Of course it's my seniors, juniors, and colleagues. I work surrounded by girls, so it's only natural that I'm close to them."

A playful smile appeared on Miyamoto Rina's face, and she quickly asked, "So, is there that special feeling, the kind where you can't let go?"

"No, really no, we're all friends. You said you knew the rules here, so why are you suddenly gossiping?"

"Knowing is one thing, but wanting to know gossip is only human nature!" Miyamoto Rina said bluntly, then asked again, "Really not?"

"No la!"

"No? That's a shame." Miyamoto Rina pouted and said, "Then why did you call me?"

"They just ask how you're feeling, how your studies are going, how things are at home, and so on. Yukiko can go home every week, but I can't go home even once every six months... Oh, by the way, I've finished filming my movie, and I've already seen the internal screening. The results were fantastic!"

"The effect is very good?"

"That's right. From the perspective of a movie lover who also likes to nitpick, I would say it's very well made. The special effects may not be that exaggerated, but they are all used effectively, and the overall effect is great!"

Rina Miyamoto knew that her younger brother liked watching movies and the like. Although he watched all kinds of movies, he had high standards when it came to reviews. So after hearing this review, she was certain that the movie was really well made.

However, she was more curious about something else: "But you clearly had very little time to shoot, yet you shot so quickly. What's your secret?"

"There's no secret to it. After confirming that I would be spending more time in Japan, I made some changes to the script and moved some parts of the filming to Japan, which saved time," Miyamoto muttered. "But the changes to the content were fine. In fact, because it was filmed in Japan, it was more in line with the plot."

"Did you let something slip?"

"No, that's not true. Filming these kinds of things in Japan isn't a secret. I didn't reveal the content, so don't worry, your brother is very strict about confidentiality!"

Having said that, Miyamoto leaned back on the sofa, silently staring at the ceiling. After a while, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He just smiled and said, "Alright, now that I've let you know I'm safe, I'll hang up. I need to get some rest."

"Okay, you should go to bed early too, don't train too late."

"Sister too, get some rest!"

After hanging up the phone, Miyamoto put it aside and continued staring at the ceiling. After a long while, he muttered to himself, "My senpai is planning to graduate, so he wants to use this single to break into the top three in Japanese history. I'm just a little worried about whether he can succeed or not. I guess I shouldn't say things like that out loud..."

He got up and went into the bathroom. After submerging his body completely in the water, leaving only his head above water, he silently thought about what he had just talked about with his sister. When he thought about what his sister had mentioned about Higashi Hisagi Ogiko, he couldn't help but smile.

"Senior Ogiko, I guess she's participating in this variety show to promote her drama. As expected of a senior, she's really hardworking... This drama is sure to be a huge hit, I really want to watch it soon..."

He muttered to himself, turned on his phone, and searched for discussions about that variety show. He soon found relevant posts.

In forums related to Higashikuse Ogiko, people are already discussing related topics.

As he watched the discussions about the program, the summaries of reactions and responses to Higashi Hisako Ogiko, and even the recorded content, Miyamoto couldn't help but laugh.

"As expected of Ogiko-senpai, her reaction is amazing. This will definitely make the fans very happy, especially the fans of the original drama. This is an indirect way to advertise the old drama, and it will also make the fans of the old drama want to watch the new drama. It's a win-win situation."

Having looked at it enough, Miyamoto put his phone aside and continued soaking in the water, letting the warm water relax his muscles as he relaxed, silently thinking to himself.

After this TV series finishes filming, the next project should be a movie. Putting aside the lead role for now, Ogiko-senpai should get an important supporting role. Once she gains enough popularity, she can play the lead role...

No, if the TV series is good enough this time, he might be able to get the lead role directly, which is not impossible.

If my identity weren't a secret, but something everyone knew, I could have gone on to film TV series and movies. Unfortunately, my identity is a secret, and I can disappear after graduation…

Although it's a bit of a pity, there's nothing that can be done about it. Only after completely disappearing and becoming an ordinary person will what happens next truly have nothing to do with Miyamoto Nana, who was once an idol.

Miyamoto was thinking this when he realized that the water had already gotten a bit cold. He checked the time and found that he had been soaking in the water for almost half an hour.

"Daydreaming really does make time fly by..."

He muttered to himself, got up, dried himself off, and then walked outside.

……

Inside the covers, Nanase Touka was diligently analyzing something she considered very important.

"So, what exactly is the relationship between Nana-senpai and Shinomiya? Is it just a normal fan-idol relationship? Something doesn't feel right!"

As she recalled her experiences with Shinomiya Emi, her mind raced.

"I have a feeling that she's hiding something, and that hidden part should be the most important part, the key clue to what kind of relationship she has with Senior Nana! But obviously, she won't say it... or rather, she won't say it easily."

Thinking of this, Nanase Touka felt somewhat helpless.

"I can't possibly pry her open to make her say it, and the senior also said it's nothing, so the senior definitely won't say it. But it really feels strange. Shinomiya's attitude towards the senior doesn't seem like that of a simple idol and fan. Is it worship? Respect? Gratitude? It feels like all of those things are there!"

As Nanase Touka spoke, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, could it be that there's also affection involved?!"

She carefully recalled all her interactions with the other person, and only after confirming that she didn't have any related feelings did she breathe a sigh of relief: "Hmm, it seems there aren't any feelings in that regard yet, but I still need to be careful!"

She muttered to herself, looked out the window at the starry sky, paused for a moment, and then sighed.

And most importantly, she had a strange feeling, as if she had seen a kindred spirit in the other person.

It's a feeling of being trapped in a desperate situation, but unwilling to say it out loud... a feeling that seems to have no way out.

That feeling of powerlessness that she was very familiar with.

She must be hiding something. If she really has no other choice, she'll probably tell someone, like Nana-senpai or something... Nanase Touka thought to herself, curling up into a ball.

Even though so much time has passed, the thought of that feeling of helplessness still makes her feel very uncomfortable.

However, after a while, she slowly stretched out her body. She was no longer the person she used to be. Even if she felt uncomfortable, it was just discomfort, and she no longer felt that sense of despair!

"Perhaps I can ask her. She might tell me. After all, sometimes people just keep bearing it and don't want to talk about the difficulties they're facing..."
