I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Perhaps some of the things I do are influenced by that performance.

However, the thought that he was currently impersonating Higashi Hisako Ogiko, the ACE of the girl group SKR, made Miyamoto's heart skip a beat. He realized that he had forgotten something very serious.

Higashi Hisako Ogiko knows his secret, that he is a man disguised as a woman!

Miyamoto had originally planned to talk to Amagai Risa about this, but he had been so busy lately that he forgot.

So, after training ended, Miyamoto immediately went to Amagai Risa's office.

"You came to see me, it seems there's something urgent," Amagai Risa said leisurely as she looked at Miyamoto Sei who had entered.

“It’s urgent. Didn’t I faint from a fever and have to be taken to the hospital last time? You should know about that,” Miyamoto said immediately.

“Of course I know. In fact, this matter has become a very good publicity. I have to say that many of your unconscious actions have created a very good advertising effect.” Risa Tenbei smiled. “So, you came to see me because of Ogiko, right?”

"Higashikuze-senpai... wait, you said I came to you because of Higashikuze-senpai, so you know why I came to you?" Miyamoto looked at Amagai Risa: "Did you tell her?"

"That's fine too, since she figured it out from my expression. But the root of the problem is still you. Who told you to suddenly say something like you're a boy on stage?"

As she spoke, Risa Amagai shifted the blame onto Sei Miyamoto.

Miyamoto Sei struggled to suppress the urge to roll his eyes.

"Then I'll say it's because you forced me to join a girl group."

"How is your sister recovering now?"

His simple words prompted Miyamoto to bow decisively.

"I'm sorry, I was arrogant. I'm really sorry, Ms. Tenbei!"

"That child helped you, didn't she? Then accept her kindness. You trust her, don't you? Otherwise, given your personality, you wouldn't forget about this so easily."

"I just wanted to put my mind at ease, but how long am I supposed to keep being an idol? Until Miss Yong'an becomes independent?"

Risa Tenbei paused for a moment, then laughed.

"I think you've misunderstood something."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing. Then focus on developing your teammates."

Riddler, die!

Miyamoto cried out in his heart, but he dared not say it aloud.

Chapter 41 Heartbeat [First Update]

Saturday, April 9.

Since he didn't have to go to school, Miyamoto arrived at the theater early, as he needed to participate in Team S's performance training today.

Team S's captain is Minami Sakagami. Miyamoto thought he could talk to her today and see if he could clear up the misunderstanding. She was his senior and had been very kind to him. He didn't want their relationship to deteriorate because of something he did unintentionally.

Pushing open the door, Miyamoto thought he would be the first to arrive, but to his surprise, there was already someone inside. The person looked rather short, with a high ponytail and a bow.

You can tell who someone is just by looking at their high ponytail and ribbon, not to mention how short they are. That's Minami Sakagami.

Miyamoto saw Sakagami Minami looking down at some document, making marks on it with a pen, her face full of deep thought and seriousness.

"Good morning, Senior Nan!"

Miyamoto greeted her quietly.

"Huh?" Sakagami Minami turned her head, and her cheeks turned red the moment she saw the person who came. She took a step back and accidentally fell to the ground.

"Senior, are you alright?!" Miyamoto Sei rushed over, wanting to help the other person up, but then saw Sakagami Minami reach out a hand: "Wait!"

"Let me help you up!"

"No, no need, that's an order!" Sakagami Minami shouted again, feeling her heart pounding wildly. She quickly stood up from the ground: "I, I can do it myself, there's no need to trouble you!"

"Huh? You?"

Hearing Sakagami Minami use honorifics, Miyamoto Se was full of questions. He felt that Sakagami Minami's reaction today was even stranger than after the last variety show.

Sakagami Minami felt her heart pounding wildly, and she felt like her whole body was about to break.

Ugh, why are you here so early? There's still half an hour before work starts, what are you doing here so early? Isn't this just the two of us in the room now?

What should I do? Was my reaction just now strange?

But, but this is strange in itself!

It was the same when I was in the hospital last time, and it was the same when I was on a variety show. It felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest!

It's the same now; there's clearly nothing there, but it's jumping so fast!

What on earth is going on? What is this? A relationship? That can't be right, they're all girls!

She glanced over cautiously and saw that Miyamoto Nana was looking at her with a worried look in her eyes, but she was also hesitant to come up. Sakagami Minami felt her mind was in complete chaos.

Seeing Miyamoto Nana's expression, Sakagami Minami felt her heart beat even faster.

What's going on. !

She couldn't help but fall into a state of extreme confusion.

"Apple, here I come!"

A slightly cheerful voice came from the doorway, and a girl with big eyes walked in. She blinked as she looked at the somewhat strange atmosphere inside.

"Hey? What are you guys doing?"

"Ah, it's Rina. I was working on today's work spreadsheets." Seeing someone come in, Sakagami Minami immediately perked up: "Since you're here too, I came to check on your schedule."

"So rushed? You haven't even started work yet." The girl called Rina walked over, and Miyamoto looked at her, silently recalling her name.

Rina Asuka, like Minami Sakagami, was a member of the first generation, and it's clear that the two have a good relationship.

But why call him Apple? Is that a nickname for Senior Nan?

Seeing that the two had entered work mode, Miyamoto Sei had some free time for the time being. He put his things aside, checked that he hadn't forgotten anything, and then began to practice in front of the mirror.

I've memorized a lot of dances from various teams over this period of time, and I'm currently practicing the dance to a very famous song by Team S called "SKR Arrives".

Sakagami Minami glanced at Miyamoto Nana over there, and breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that the other had already started practicing on her own.

Thank goodness, they're not paying attention to this area anymore. If they had, I probably would have died...

She thought to herself.

"By the way, you're the graduate student who's here to fill in for Ogiko-chan this time, right?"

At that moment, Rina Asuka looked at Miyamoto Sei and spoke up, appearing quite curious.

“Yes, Asuka-senpai!” Miyamoto stopped what she was doing. “I’m Miyamoto Nana, a graduate student!”

"You and our Center have been on the news, it's already spread throughout the official team." With a smile, Asuka Rina chuckled, "Like, Ogiko-chan actually does princess carry people, and stuff like that."

"I really troubled you that time, senior. I am very grateful for Higashikuze-senpai's help!" Miyamoto said hurriedly. He was really grateful to Higashikuze Ogiko that time. If it weren't for Higashikuze Ogiko, at least the members of Team R and the theater manager, Hasegawa Subaru, would know that he was a man.

Fortunately, it was Higashikuze Ogiko who learned of his true situation and came to protect him.

It really does seem like what's said online: the knight protected the princess.

Thinking of this, Miyamoto paused for a moment.

Pshaw, I'm not a princess!

Then, she immediately banished the idea from her mind.

Oh, right, maybe this is the chance to close the distance and explain the previous question!

Miyamoto suddenly realized something and then asked curiously, "By the way, Asuka-senpai, why do you call Minami-senpai 'Apple'?"

"You mean this? Because an apple is an apple!" Rina Asuka said with a grin, which was essentially meaningless.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'an apple is an apple'?!"

The one who reacted the most was Sakagami Minami, who immediately protested.

"Then you explain it yourself. Anyway, this is my answer: an apple is an apple!"

"Actually, it's just that..."

Forced into a situation where she had to answer, Sakagami Minami tried her best to suppress her inner feelings and spoke in a voice that didn't seem to care much.

"I like to eat an apple every day, and I said that on a variety show. From then on, people started calling me Apple. After all, it was my fans who called me that, and over time it became my nickname."

The reason is really simple: because people eat an apple every day, it's called an apple?

Miyamoto felt that the answer was strangely uninteresting, but the way he addressed him was surprisingly nice.

I even had an urge to shout that myself.

"Alright, get ready, time's almost up, we can't miss today's training!"

Sakagami Minami cleared her throat, but still dared not look at Miyamoto Sei.

Watching this scene, Rina Asuka wore a faint smile, lost in thought.

As time went by, all the members of Team S arrived at the dance studio, except for Higashikuze Ogiko, who was acting as Miyamoto Sei's substitute.

"Wow, graduate students are so tall! Want to come and see who's taller, you or Yashiko?"
