I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"For whom do the roadside flowers bloom? They've been ignored by passersby all this time..."

"Scorched by the sun and soaked by the rain, the dreams of the past have vanished in the wind."

"The bottom has always been the price of freedom. It's not the loss of speech, but the indifference that separates us from others, leaving us with no choice but to endure it."

"Become a spinning stone, act according to your own spirit, burn until you are exhausted, and overturn the times!"

The song is so flamboyant and full of individuality, as if it wants to be at odds with the world. This is the song that best represents the spirit of Team K, and it is even called Team K's anthem.

"Don't be complacent. Time may pass, but the passion you keep hidden will never diminish!"

"We're the team K!"

At this moment, everyone was caught up in the frenzy. The fans were as if they had become members of Team K, shouting together, wanting to become the Rolling Stones and overturn the whole era!

At this moment, in this place, at this time, this is the best performance!

This thought arose in Miyamoto Sei's mind.

At the high-five event, Miyamoto Sei, who was acting as the center, was positioned next to Mimori Sayaka, the team leader. Although she has now resigned, her position has not changed.

"I believe in you, Caijia, you must persevere!"

"That's right, those guys always like to do these sneaky things, so don't let them affect your performance!"

Even though it was just a high-five and only lasted a second or two, the fans were still encouraging Mimori Sayaka. Seeing Mimori Sayaka's eyes filled with tears and her red eyes, but her face was beaming with a smile, Miyamoto Sei felt at ease.

Indeed, idols who have fans encouraging them are the most powerful!

……

November 14th, Monday, noon.

Miyamoto Sei was called out by Naoki Sakurako.

Thinking that this would allow Miyuki Eian to gain more experience, Miyamoto Sei gladly accepted the invitation.

The address is a coffee shop near SKR, which is said to be run by SKR itself.

"Nana-chan!"

The sudden sound from behind, along with the whistling wind, made Miyamoto almost instinctively take a sidestep to avoid the ferocious beast attacking from behind.

"You actually dodged my attack! Did you anticipate that I would appear from behind you?!"

Naoki Sakurako's hands, which were in a grasping position, twitched, and she squeezed them in the air, looking at Miyamoto Sei in surprise.

"A move that has already been used once is useless against me, Naoki-senpai!"

As Miyamoto spoke, he cautiously took a step back.

He remembered very clearly that he had been groped by Naoki Sakurako last time.

Although he wasn't particularly averse to it, he knew his own situation best; his breasts were fake, and the problem might be discovered soon.

"Hehehe, if you keep hiding like this, it will only make me want to rush up even more!" Naoki Sakurako said, even wiping her drool with her hand.

"Senior, are you an old man?!" Miyamoto said without any politeness, quickly sitting down to the side and shrinking into the corner: "Senior, you'd better sit across from me!"

"They're really vigilant. Don't worry, if I fail this time, I'll choose a different time next time." Naoki Sakurako sat down, making no attempt to hide her desire.

The waiter quickly brought drinks to the two of them.

"Is there something you need from me, senior?"

Miyamoto asked with some curiosity. Although he was thinking of having an excuse to make Nagasu Miyu the center, he had no idea why Naoki Sakurako had come to him.

However, Miyamoto guessed that it might be related to the fact that he had substituted for the other person.

Is it because the substitute service wasn't very good that you came to me to complain?

Miyamoto thought to himself.

"Nana-chan, thank you this time."

Naoki Sakurako said softly.

Thank me?

Miyamoto was slightly taken aback, not understanding why the other party wanted to thank him.

"Naoki-senpai, if you're talking about substitute work, this is my job, so there's no need to thank me."

“Just call me Sakurako.” Naoki Sakurako said, lightly tapping the straw with her finger, causing it to wobble slightly. She looked at the straw, her gentle gaze directed at someone else. “It’s not about thanking you for the substitute duty, but thanking you for your encouragement.”

"Isn't it natural to cheer for your teammates? It's not just me, everyone else is cheering for Mimori-senpai, even the fans are doing the same, so I don't think you need to thank me."

After Miyamoto finished speaking, he picked up his drink and took a sip.

"After all, everyone was cheering me on while I was practicing."

"I heard you went to see Teacher Tianbei."

"That's what Naoki Sakurako said."

Miyamoto looked at Naoki Sakurako, wondering how she knew about this.

"Teacher Tianbei told me that you had approached her about Caijia's matter, saying that you hoped to reinstate her as captain. In this respect, you are different from the others; you went directly to negotiate with the higher-ups."

"I just felt that this matter shouldn't have caused Mimori-senpai to resign from his position as captain. Besides, Amagai-sensei himself didn't seem to care much about it, did he? That's why I thought I could have Amagai-sensei talk to him and ask him to reinstate Mimori-senpai."

Miyamoto tried his best to explain his conversation with Risa Amagai. Risa Amagai didn't really act like a leader. Although she did things her own way, she was easy to talk to when they chatted. This made him forget that she was actually his boss. Normally, people wouldn't talk to their boss about such things.

Furthermore, the fact that Risa Amagai told Sakurako Naoki about this puzzled Miyamoto.

What is she trying to achieve by telling others about this?

Doesn't he have enough to do already? He's currently busy handling the performance related to Shibuya Public Court; he's extremely busy!

"Caijia went to see Ms. Tenbei. She said she plans to participate in the next Tokyo Marathon. If she can finish the whole marathon, she will become the captain of Team K again. She wants to use this action to show others that she can withstand pressure and will not give in."

As Naoki Sakurako spoke, the smile on her face showed that she was very happy at that moment.

"Really? Ms. Amagai told me that she would reinstate Mimori's position after she participated in the marathon and completed the race, so that Mimori wouldn't be able to refuse. But now it seems that Mimori has gone even further than Ms. Amagai and I thought."

As Miyamoto spoke, the image of Mimori Sayaka shedding tears in the face of the fans' cheers flashed through his mind.

"There is definitely a difference between offering your suggestion voluntarily and being asked to go up."

"That's why I want to thank you. Your words made her understand how she should face her fans from now on." After saying that, Naoki Sakurako was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "By the way, have you thought about which team you want to join?"

"I haven't figured it out yet," Miyamoto said, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

He's leaving and has no chance of becoming a full member, so he doesn't need to choose which team to join. He'll just be Miyamoto Nana, a graduate student, and that'll stop at that position.

In SKR's history, Miyamoto Nana's recorded place is only in a few performances as a graduate student, a few substitute roles, and this single CD that she might get this time.

In the history of idols, she wasn't even a flash in the pan. After leaving the scene for a few months, no one would probably remember that there was ever a Miyamoto Nana.

However, Naoki Sakurako still extended an invitation.

"Would you like to join Team K?"

"Sakura-senpai's words make it sound like I'm definitely going to become a full member."

Miyamoto said with a grin.

"The only obstacle in your path is this Shibuya court performance. Do you think you will fail?" Naoki Sakurako asked.

Although Miyamoto Sei was still smiling, his tone was extremely firm.

"I won't let it fail!"

“That’s good. If you can overcome this difficulty, then becoming a full member is only a matter of time. And I hope you can come to Team K.”

Naoki Sakurako's smile had vanished, and her expression looked rather somber.

"I hope you can come to Team K and replace me as Team K's Center!"

Miyamoto was truly stunned. These words were like a bomb, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

The second-place winner of the first general election and the first-place winner of the second general election, Naoki Sakurako, the center of Team K, actually wants to replace her as the new center of Team K. What kind of bizarre development is this?

"Senior? I'd like to confirm that I didn't hear that before?"

"I think it's not just me. Ogiko probably has similar thoughts. Hikari-chan also thinks highly of you. But you always have to strike first in these kinds of things. So this time, I'm not only looking for you to thank you for your help to Tsai-ka, but also to extend an invitation to you."

Naoki Sakurako's words confirmed that Miyamoto Sei hadn't misheard, but this only made him more confused.

"But Sakura-senpai, if I'm going to be the center, what about you?"

"Actually... I'm thinking about graduating..."

Naoki Sakurako's words were like another bomb exploding in Miyamoto Sei's mind, even more violently than the previous one.

"Graduation?!"

Graduation means leaving an idol group and no longer belonging to that idol group.

"Sakura-senpai, are you planning to leave SKR?!"

“I think I can hold on for another year or so, and then I’ll leave SKR. That’s my plan.” Naoki Sakurako nodded. “Nana-chan, you know what? SKR gave me hope when I was about to despair, so I hope that at least when I leave, it will have a new supporter.”

"Therefore, I need you, I want you to come to Team K and become Team K's new center. If it's you, you can not only lead Team K forward, but also lead the entire SKR forward! I had a feeling from the last time I saw you that you are the hope for SKR's future!"

The sudden request felt like a handing over the dynasty's foundation to him. Miyamoto stared blankly at Naoki Sakurako, even regretting coming here today, because he had no idea how to answer her.
