I became a girl group idol for my sister.

“I see sincerity in your eyes, and I believe you will keep your word,” David Most said, taking out a card: “This is my business card. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me.”

"Thank you, I'll accept it." Miyamoto Sei took the business card and looked at it.

"Hermeston Group? CEO, and president at that?"

The name caught Miyamoto's eye, and he quickly remembered where he had seen it before.

It's normal that this group looks unfamiliar, but when you think about the other subsidiaries it has connections with, you can tell how terrifying this company is.

With interests spanning pharmaceuticals, media, artificial intelligence, and food, it is a true behemoth of a company.

And the person in front of you is actually the CEO and president of that company?

So in reality, Mika Komatsu not only has a mother who was a hugely popular actress, but also a father who is the CEO of a world-class corporation.

What a model of a life winner!

But no matter what, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just Mika Komatsu's friend, and I don't need to ask her parents for help.

Even if they do make a phone call in the future, it will definitely be for Mika Komatsu.

The surprise on his face quickly returned to normal. He put the business card away and said to David Most, "Why don't you just tell her directly?"

“Because I can’t put it into words…” David Most sighed. “I failed to protect her before, which is my fault, so actually, I don’t know how to face her…”

"So it wasn't Komatsu-senpai who approached me to talk, but you who approached me to say these things, just because you're afraid of not knowing what to say when we're alone?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly it.” David Most sighed, making no attempt to hide his confirmation of Miyamoto Se’s guess. “She’s doing well now, especially since she seems even more determined than before. I believe she can achieve her goal.”

At this point, he smiled and said to Miyamoto Sei, "I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time. Let's go back."

“It’s not a waste. At least I know my friends better now, which I think is great.” Miyamoto Seya smiled, and the two of them returned to the restaurant.

Seeing the two return, Mika Komatsu asked with some suspicion, "He didn't say anything strange to you, did he?"

"No, you just told me some of your secrets, like how you reacted after wetting the bed when you were little."

"Hey! I've never wet the bed, okay?!"

"Do you really believe it?"

Miyoko Komatsu and David Most looked at the two joking around, exchanged glances, and then laughed.

“Alright, actually your mother and I came to Japan this time for work. Seeing you was just a side trip, so don’t worry about taking you back. Besides, we’re leaving tomorrow,” David Most said. “To prevent any negative impact on your work, you can leave first. We’ll leave about half an hour after you’ve left.”

“Yes, when I stand on the stage with my own strength in the future, I will come to see you.” Komatsu Mika said, standing up, and then looked at Miyamoto Sei: “Let’s go.”

Miyamoto stood up, bowed slightly to the two of them to say goodbye, and then followed Komatsu Mika out.

Watching the two leave, Miyoko Komatsu smiled and kept watching. But when the door closed, a look of loneliness appeared on her face.

"It will be a long time before we see her again."

"Don't worry, you'll see. On TV and online, you'll see. This is a group of people who are willing to work hard. Then you can say to her brother, 'Look, this is your sister.'"

"Yes, that's right, she's about to have a little brother..." Komatsu Miyoko smiled as she gently touched her belly.

After walking out the door, Mika Komatsu and Sei Miyamoto quickly left the restaurant. The two of them walked for about ten minutes without saying a word.

Finally, when they arrived at the bubble tea shop, she suddenly said, "I'm going to buy a bubble tea. What do you want?"

Matcha coffee.

"Coffee again? Are you working?" Mika Komatsu said, but she still walked over and quickly placed a cup of milk tea in front of Miyamoto Sei: "A thank-you gift for today."

Miyamoto smiled, took the milk tea, and popped the lid off.

"Then I won't be polite."

"However, you are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone about my family!" Mika Komatsu warned Miyamoto Sei in a low voice, staring at him.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. This is your private matter. You can talk about it when you feel like it." Miyamoto said, taking a sip of her milk tea and revealing a happy expression: "This tastes really good."

Looking at Miyamoto Sei's expression, it seemed that she didn't take what had just happened to heart. She also smiled and took a sip of the milk tea she had bought.

"This kind of life suits me better after all."

Chapter 52 A New Challenge [First Update]

October 10, Wednesday.

Miyamoto was walking to the theater, talking on the phone as he went.

"Sister, who is your idol in the SKR girl group?"

"SKR girl group? Let me think... I actually quite like Ogiko-chan, but if I had to say who I support the most, it would definitely be Apple. Minami-chan is so hardworking, and people who work so hard truly shine in my eyes!"

As Miyamoto Rina spoke on the other end of the phone, Miyamoto Sei could hear the excitement in her voice.

"But you're also following SKR now?" Miyamoto Rina suddenly asked on the other end of the phone.

"Huh? So many people at school are watching, I'd probably know something even if I didn't watch, so I was just a little curious." Miyamoto quickly made up an excuse.

He couldn't tell his sister that he had gone to a karaoke bar with Sakagami Minami to spend time alone, or even worked with her.

"I see. After all, they're all quite famous, so it's normal for them to be the subject of conversation at school. Are you out of class now?"

“Yeah, I’m going to work right now,” Miyamoto said.

"Be careful on the road, and don't make phone calls on the street." Miyamoto Rina immediately replied on the other end of the phone, "I'm fine here, you can hang up now."

"Okay, remember to tell the nurse if anything happens." After reminding her sister, Miyamoto hung up the phone.

"So your idol is Senior Minami?"

Miyamoto muttered to himself for a moment and then walked into the theater.

They arrived at the dance studio for training. The R5th performance will be held some time from now, but during this time, in addition to training for R5th, everyone is also training for other songs. Of course, all of this is done voluntarily.

While training like this, Miyamoto was approached.

"Miyamoto." In the office, Hasegawa Subaru looked at Miyamoto Sei: "Have you thought about your speech for tomorrow's performance?"

"A speech during the performance?" Miyamoto carefully recalled the relevant details of the performance: "Is there any special event tomorrow? I don't remember it being on the performance schedule."

"Are you pretending to be stupid or what?" Subaru Hasegawa looked at Miyamoto Sei's puzzled expression and, seeing that he really didn't know, said, "Tomorrow is October 13th, your birthday. For your fans, it's your birthday celebration!"

"Does...do we need to be so careful?"

"Although the official organization probably won't do anything special for graduate students, the fans who come to see you will celebrate your birthday. Whether you care or not is not important. What's important is the fans' attitude, right? Aren't you going to say anything to your enthusiastic fans at that time?"

Subaru Hasegawa said to Miyamoto Sei, then sighed helplessly.

"And haven't you noticed? You have quite a few fans, so you'd better be prepared for tomorrow!"

There are only about a hundred die-hard fans; there aren't that many.

Miyamoto thought to himself, but he also knew that he had to take this matter seriously, since the fans would definitely care.

"I understand, I will prepare."

"Okay, then go train."

Miyamoto nodded and left the office.

Of course he knew that tomorrow was his birthday, but Miyamoto Sei didn't care much about it. In his previous life, he was the type who didn't celebrate his birthday much. Most of the time, it was only when others wished him a happy birthday that he would suddenly remember that it was his birthday.

As she walked along, she suddenly saw someone walking ahead. Seeing the person's high ponytail and ribbon, Miyamoto immediately chased after them.

"Senior Nan, please wait a moment!"

"Eh? Nana-chan!" Seeing that it was Miyamoto Nana who had caught up with her, Sakagami Minami couldn't help but take several steps back, almost pressing herself against the wall: "W-W-Is there something you need?"

"There's something I hope you can help me with, Senior Minami!" Bowing deeply, Miyamoto Sei appeared utterly sincere. "Please, this is my lifelong request!"

"A request for my entire life?!" Sakagami Minami's cheeks flushed instantly, and she felt as if her heart was about to burst out of her chest: "Y-yes, what is your request? Just tell me!"

At this moment, her mind was filled with images related to requests, and these images were all very strange.

Is she going to tell me she wants to get married or something? What should I say?

For example, such bizarre ideas.

This thought made Sakagami Minami's heart beat even faster.

"May I sign my name in this photo book?"

Then, Miyamoto extended a photo album in front of Sakagami Minami.

Sakagami Minami took the photo album with some confusion. When she opened it, she found it was full of her photos, but these were the kind of photos that would normally be sold.

"Qinai, what are you doing? Is this...?"

Is Nana a fan of mine?

At this moment, Sakagami Minami's mind was full of questions.

"I got this from a staff member. Since they're an insider, they got it right away!"

Miyamoto immediately said that there were many different kinds of photos, and it would be difficult to collect them all, as it would feel like drawing cards. However, Miyamoto was different; he talked to the staff and got a set directly.

However, to prevent resale, it can only be obtained once or twice.

There is indeed a signature on the photo, but it is a printed signature, or rather, a photocopy of the signature on the original photo.
