I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Miyamoto was pulled to stand next to Kato Asako, who was the tallest member of Team S and even the tallest member of the entire group. The two compared their heights back to back.

"Huh? They're the same height!"

"Miyamoto-chan, are you 168 cm tall?"

"After the graduate students arrived, there were suddenly two tall guys!"

"Now everyone looks short."

"But as expected, the apple is still the shortest one."

"That's right, Apple is still the shortest one, only 148cm."

"Huh? What does this have to do with me?! Besides, you all got demoted one rank too, okay? I'm just staying in the same position!"

Minami Sakagami protested against everyone talking about her height, but this only made the team members happier and talk about their heights even more.

Miyamoto looked at the dazzling idols he had seen at the theater performance that day, and now they were right beside him, and he himself was one of them.

Although it was a substitute service.

Although it's a man.

However, this did not prevent Miyamoto from feeling a surge of excitement within him.

I actually got the chance to perform on the same stage as them!

He had to perform well on stage, otherwise he would be letting down the waves of cheers and jubilation that were welling up inside him.

Moreover, he also wants to take this opportunity not only to learn the performance pieces, but also to learn the other Team S pieces that he is not very good at!

They practiced until the afternoon, and some members had to leave for various work reasons. After all, the members of the official group not only had to perform in public shows, but also had to do various other work such as giving interviews and taking photoshoots.

By 8 p.m., almost everyone had left.

Inside the dance studio, Miyamoto was still training.

I compared the dance moves in the video to my own movements in the mirror, and kept correcting my mistakes.

Behind the door, Sakagami Minami looked at Miyamoto Nana, who was still training inside, and hesitated.

She usually trains inside, but what should she do now? Should she go in?

And this is way too hard! They've been practicing since this morning and are still practicing!

Then, just as she was hesitating, she was seen by Miyamoto Sei, who had jumped and turned around.

"Apple, my predecessor!"

"Why are you starting to shout 'Apple' too?!"

Miyamoto laughed at Sakagami Minami's exclamation.

"Because I feel it's cute to shout like that, and it suits my senior!"

Cute? I'm cute?!

Her cheeks flushed, her heart pounded again, and after standing there for a moment, Sakagami Minami turned and walked outside.

"I...I'm going back now. You should go back soon too!"

"forward……"

Watching Sakagami Minami leave, Miyamoto Sei was stunned for a moment. He had originally wanted to ask her to take a look at his movements and see if there was anything that needed to be changed, but before he could say that, she had already run away.

"Forget it, let's practice a little longer. Anyway, there's nothing much going on at home. I'll go back at ten o'clock."

Chapter 42 Crisis Approaches [Second Update]

October 9th, Sunday.

Today is the first R5th performance for the graduate students. Although they have already had three performances, those three were just simple three songs, and the longest was only four songs. Today is completely different. Today, they have to stay on stage for an hour and perform at least thirteen songs!

They held hands, bent down slightly, and their heads were so close that they could hear each other breathing.

Then, the slogan was shouted out.

"come on!"

With Miyamoto's cheer, everyone spoke up.

"postgraduate!"

Apart from Miyamoto Sei and Komatsu Mika, who had participated in a full performance of nearly an hour as substitutes, it could be said that everyone else was doing it for the first time.

But everyone was smiling. Even though they were genuinely nervous, it showed that they had finally taken a real step forward.

Even if this step is only a small one, it represents that the operations team has acknowledged their progress!

"So, does our Center have anything to say this time?"

Shimada Yurina grinned and held out her hand, pretending to hold a microphone, and offered it to Miyamoto Sei.

"I only have one sentence to say."

Miyamoto thought for a moment.

"Don't think about what will happen if we fail. Just do our best!"

"This is too simple."

"Yeah, it was explained so simply today!"

Hearing everyone's complaints, Miyamoto Sei laughed.

"That's because everyone has already gone through several training sessions and corrected their usual bad habits. So all they need to do is show their best performance during training."

"Graduate student team, get ready! You're about to go on stage!"

The theater manager came to urge everyone on, but actually there was no need to urge them anymore, as everyone was already ready.

Miyamoto took a deep breath. Being a substitute was one thing, but at this moment, the group of graduate students was where he truly belonged.

Today marks the first truly complete performance by the graduate student team!

"Let's go, everyone!"

Miyamoto picked up the microphone and took a firm step forward.

"Let our fans know that we won't let them down!"

From the shadows, watching all this, Tenbe Risa laughed.

The expression on his face right now makes him look like a true idol. Isn't that amazing? Even though he always says he's leaving, his body language shows it all.

A born idol!

"Teacher Tenbei, you've arrived."

Subaru Hasegawa was somewhat surprised to see Risa Amagai.

"You came to see Miyamoto?"

"I'd like to see how the graduate student team's performance went. I'll go stand in the back now."

"This……"

"After all, the tickets have already been sold, haven't they?"

Tenbe Risa laughed.

"Yes, all the tickets for this performance have been sold out. It seems that having the three of them on the variety show last time had a very good effect. The number of ticket buyers reached over a thousand, which is more than three times the number of seats available for the entire venue (250 people)."

"It's good that it has such an effect in a short period of time, but for her, it's far from enough."

As she spoke, Tambirisa walked toward the back of the theater.

The graduate students had arrived at the back of the stage, listening to the fans outside shouting along with the music. These sounds turned into waves, spreading from the front to the back.

The shouts, like drumbeats, resonated in everyone's hearts, making their hearts beat even harder and their blood flow even faster.

The power of everyone began to be ignited and converged with these shouts.

At that moment, everyone's aura changed.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the usual training, but because this is a stage, a real stage facing a large number of fans. The audience seats at the very front, closest to the stage, are only one meter away, making it a stage where you can truly interact with your fans.

In this place, they, as graduate students, are resonating with the fans here.

That's why this kind of thing happened.

The so-called performance is not only the idol's business, but also the fans' business.

Only when idols and fans interact can a performance truly be completed!

"Breakthrough! Destruction! Create an opening in the path of obstacles before us!"

Wearing helmets with lights on, the graduate students, holding props, took their places in the darkness and swayed slightly to the music.

Then, the lights came on, the glaring light stinging the eyes and making it difficult to see the scene clearly, but that didn't matter, the body had already memorized the movements, and the brain was automatically matching them to the background music.

They took off their helmets and handed them to other teammates. After the few people who delivered the helmets to the back left, only a few people remained on the field.

With a smile on his face, Miyamoto squatted down gently in front of him and began to sing into the microphone.
