I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"In other words, I'll need around 2,500 fans by then... or even more..." Miyamoto muttered to himself, then sighed.

Yesterday, he acted very assertively in front of everyone, as if there were no problems at all, but that was an act. Their graduate student team did not have a captain, so he served as both the center and the captain. He could not show any weakness.

"Is this guy, Tenbei, really not a devil?! This batch of graduate students are all pretty good. According to the seniors, shouldn't they be sent to various teams to become official members and then develop gradually?"

Gently rubbing the corners of his eyes, Miyamoto patted his cheeks and then smiled.

They were almost at his sister's room, and he didn't want to upset Miyamoto Rina because of his own actions.

He pushed open the door and saw the girl looking out the window.

Rina Miyamoto looked serenely out the window, her entire being appearing almost divine in the sunlight streaming into the room.

"Happy birthday, sister!"

He went up to her and took out the gift he had prepared, which was of course already carefully wrapped.

"Ah, thank you!" Miyamoto Rina smiled happily when she saw Miyamoto Sei come in. She accepted the gift from Miyamoto Sei: "What did you buy?"

"Hehe, it's a secret, you'll definitely like it when you see it," Miyamoto said with a grin.

"Oh? Then I'm really looking forward to it." She looked at Miyamoto Sei: "Can it be opened?"

"Yes, of course it can be taken apart."

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Rina no longer hesitated and began to open the gift box. She was taken aback when she saw that there was a small notebook inside.

"Notepad?"

"Open it and take a look," Miyamoto urged.

Seeing that Miyamoto Sei was urging her to open it so urgently, Miyamoto Rina curiously flipped open the cover.

Then, she froze.

Inside were photos of Minami Sakagami, all perfectly preserved, sealed in a plastic film.

But these weren't the things that surprised her the most.

The most surprising thing was the signature on the inside of the cover; she could tell it was signed by hand.

Happy Birthday, Rina! - Minami Sakagami

"This, this, this is Apple's autograph?!"

"Yes, an autograph! Minami-chan is such a kind person!" Miyamoto Se said with a smile, "I met her by chance and made this request. I didn't expect her to actually agree to give me an autograph!"

"You just happened to run into him?" Miyamoto Rina looked at Miyamoto Se, her younger brother, who nodded. "Yeah, your brother is lucky!"

"This is incredibly lucky, and wouldn't it be very difficult to collect these photos?"

"They helped with all of this!"

Miyamoto immediately came up with an excuse he had already considered, and none of them were actually lies; he just didn't state the premise.

"This, this, this..."

Stuttering and stammering, even the usually shrewd and capable older sister seemed so helpless at this moment, which made Miyamoto Sei feel that it was all worth it.

"Seeing my sister's reaction like this, I feel that Nan-chan's gift is absolutely amazing!"

"How can you say that about your sister?" Rina Miyamoto quickly said, though she was still clutching the photo album tightly, her face beaming with happiness. "It's a blessing from Apple Jam herself! It's amazing, it feels like a dream!"

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

"Sister? Even if you're happy, you don't need to cry, right?"

He took out a tissue and handed it to her, looking at her cautiously.

“Isn’t it nice to cry when you’re happy?” Rina Miyamoto said with a smile, taking a tissue to wipe away her tears. “Because I originally thought that I would always be in a position with them that I could never reach…”

"elder sister……"

"I'm fine, I just made some decisions." Miyamoto Rina smiled, though there were still tears in her eyes, there was no sadness. "I haven't told you yet, but the doctor said that my body can no longer withstand strenuous exercise, so I can no longer become an idol."

"So that's how it is...?"

They cannot engage in strenuous exercise, meaning they cannot dance on stage or even participate in regular training.

"Yes, that's how it is. So I've decided that once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll go back to high school, take the exams, and eventually go to university."

She laughed and said, "Although I was a little unwilling at first, I've come to terms with it now. It's already great that I survived, and I even made it through the crisis, instead of being a vegetable for the rest of my life..."

As she said this, she gently picked up the photo album.

"Now that I have this one that you gave me, my wish has been fulfilled in a way, hasn't it?"

"I believe you will get into a good university, sister!"

Miyamoto Semi and Miyamoto Rina were no longer in trouble, and they smiled.

"But it still can't compare to you. After all, you have the best brain in our family. When you get into Tokyo University, I'll cook you a nice meal!"

"Huh? No need, I can do it myself."

“No, I have to do it!” Miyamoto Rina shook her head: “This is my goal, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity!”

"The goal?" Miyamoto muttered to himself, then stood up. "I'm going back now. Sister, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."

"Why would I be tired here? I have nurses who accompany me for walks, and the food and drinks are very good. You should be careful."

"Yes, I will."

After saying goodbye to Rina Miyamoto, Miyamoto Sei walked out of the hospital.

His mind was filled with the image of his sister crying, and his heart was in turmoil.

My sister's dream will never come true!

After writing so much, it is finally going to be put on the shelves. Life is not easy, so I hope you can support me. Thank you very much.

I wrote 18 words before it was published, which is quite rare on Maoke.

I would like to thank HedgehogCat for giving me this opportunity, and thank BOSS for building such a place for us.

Thank you to my wonderful editor, Nanxi. She has never looked down on me because I'm a newbie and a failure. She even signed me to a contract despite this bizarre subject matter. I believe that Sister Nanxi loves me, though she may also want to kill me, since I'm always trying different subjects and don't like staying in the comfort zone.

Thank you to all my readers, thank you for your continued support. This is an original book, and your recommendations and donations have been my motivation to write this far. Please continue to support me in the future!

This is an extremely rare book among cat lovers. It's not a typical entertainment novel, but rather a cross-dressing idol action novel. The prototype is a group that was once very popular but is now almost dead.

Speaking of which, for Maoke, crossdressing, idol, and original Aoichi themes are all considered niche and risky.

Yes, this book covers it all. I'm so amazing.

By the way, after it's released, in addition to the regular updates, I'll give an extra update for every 100 blades and every 10000 cat coins. Blades are preferred, and there's no limit. The bounty period is from now until the early morning of February 10, 2023.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Birthday Celebration [First Update]

"Did you know? Today is Nana-chan's birthday!"

"Ah, you mean Miyamoto Nana from SKR?"

"Yes, there's also a graduate student performance today, so it's her birthday celebration. It's going to be very lively!"

"So you're going?"

"Ah, I didn't get a ticket. It's really hard to get tickets for graduate students these days. You have to go through a lottery just like the regular students, only the total number of people in the lottery isn't as exaggerated as the regular students."

"But no matter what, I will definitely continue to support my wife, Nana-chan!"

"Teacher, someone here is drunk and talking in their sleep!"

"But honestly, I really want to go on a date with Nana-chan..."

Inside the classroom, a group of people were discussing Miyamoto Nana. Miyamoto Sei was looking out the window, ignoring their discussion. He had already completely disregarded their behavior of calling her "wife."

Perhaps it's because of the recent performances, or maybe it's because of the sale of the photobook, but the graduate student's popularity has indeed increased.

Thinking of this, Miyamoto suddenly remembered the sample book that the photo company had sent him.

He still remembers his reaction when he saw the photo of himself inside.

"This feeling of being like a noblewoman in the sunlight makes me feel like I'm seeing a real aristocrat for a moment, and an ancient European aristocrat at that. Her temperament is just too amazing. I can hardly believe this is Nana-chan!"

Yes, that's what it feels like.

Miyamoto listened, thinking to himself.

Then he was stunned and quickly looked over, only to see that the group of people who were discussing were looking at their graduate students' photo album!

These guys actually bought it too!

It is said that the daily sales of these products, which belong to graduate students, have reached 2000 copies, and the sales in the first week are estimated to reach around 5000 copies.

For graduate students who haven't even started their careers yet, this is an incredibly exaggerated sales figure.

Moreover, the other party has indeed printed 5000 copies and transferred the money. They also said that if the supply cannot meet the demand, they will continue to print more copies, and naturally, the money will continue to be transferred.

If it were a typical underground idol, they would probably be overjoyed right now. After all, with so many copies sold, even if only 3% of the revenue is earned, it would still amount to hundreds of thousands of yen. However, for the sixteen graduate students who share the profits equally, each person would only receive less than 40,000 yen.

But in any case, it was much better than the two thousand copies he had initially predicted.
