I became a girl group idol for my sister.

[I saw it! I never expected her to cry. She must have been under a lot of pressure lately.]

[Rumor has it that a YouTuber named Qiu48 revealed that this Shibuya Public Hall performance is actually related to the future of graduate students. Risa Amagai demanded that the venue be filled to 2,000 people, otherwise everyone would be blacklisted for a year.]

[Is this insane? Demanding a group of graduate students who have only recently performed to fill a 2,000-seat venue, and threatening to freeze them for a year if they don't meet the requirements? Isn't that basically saying they'll be fired if they don't meet the requirements? Idols are very age-dependent; being a year older completely changes the situation.]

[Although the information is questionable, it's clear that the entire team of graduate students was under immense pressure during this performance, and they didn't tell us about it until the very end, even though telling us would have garnered them a lot of sympathy votes.]

[Perhaps there's an agreement forbidding us to say this?]

[I haven't heard of that. Maybe it's because the graduate students think they need real, personal fans, not people who went there out of pity.]

[They're working way too hard! No wonder they travel everywhere to congratulate weddings and perform for free under the scorching sun day after day. I have to say, Risa Tempera is a devil!]

[But don't you think it's precisely because of this pressure that these graduate students were able to demonstrate such tremendous strength?]

[I told you long ago, I witnessed the birth of a god! The light of a newborn god shines within Miyamoto Nana! This election might just bring something completely unexpected!]

Online, there are discussions everywhere about this Shibuya Public Hall performance, and on the relevant sections of 2CH, it is almost dominating the page.

Almost everyone who knows SKR and is a fan of SKR is discussing the recent performance by the graduate students at Shibuya Public Hall.

Meanwhile, the graduate students involved were cleaning up the SKR theater.

"Clean the toilet for me too!"

"Hey there, don't slack off! Clean the floor properly!"

Subaru Hasegawa patrolled back and forth from time to time, checking to see if anyone was slacking off.

"Ah, we just finished such a big performance, but it feels like nothing has changed..." Rika Kusunobu sat down on the ground and stared at the ceiling.

“We’re still graduate students, so of course nothing has changed…” Miyamoto Seya sat down next to him immediately: “Mr. Hasegawa is the same, he hasn’t changed at all, he’s still as strict as ever.”

“By the way, with so much money this time, it feels like we’ve struck it rich!” Shimada Yurina suddenly said.

Hearing her words, everyone laughed.

They did make a small fortune. Each person received 96000 yen for the performance at Shibuya Public Hall. You should know that they usually only get 5000 yen for a performance at the theater!

Miyamoto Sei also thought that he could take out some of this money to give his sister a little surprise.

Chapter Seventy-Four: A Flat Refusal

[Name: Miyamoto Sei]

Reputation: 268

Level 2: Rising Star in the Martial Arts World

Experience value: 268/400

Points: 14

Note: Reputation can only be increased when someone truly admires the host from the bottom of their heart. Each person provides 1 point of reputation, and it cannot be obtained repeatedly.

Lying in bed, Miyamoto Sei was looking at his control panel.

Relying on the performance over a total of more than ten days, the reputation value reached nearly 200. Then, after this performance at Shibuya Public Hall, the reputation value finally surpassed 200, reaching 268, which is a huge increase in value.

With 268 die-hard fans, Miyamoto didn't know exactly how strong that number of die-hard fans was, but the thought of having more die-hard fans than there were theater seats made him very happy.

As for the 14 points that can be redeemed for 28 hours of time, there's no need for them for the time being, so I'll just leave them there.

"What martial arts newcomer? He's clearly a dance newcomer!" Miyamoto muttered to himself, then got out of bed.

It's 7 a.m. now. He needs to get up, brush his teeth, wash his face, and then go to class.

Yesterday was Thursday, and there was a performance at Shibuya Public Hall. Today is Friday, so I still need to go to class; otherwise, it could easily cause some unnecessary problems.

Then tomorrow, Saturday, and the day after tomorrow, Sunday, I need to continue working hard at the theater. There are a total of four performances in these two days.

Saturday alone saw all three matches booked, meaning the schedule was packed to the brim.

Good morning, brother!

Yukiko Miyamoto, who came out of the restroom, greeted Miyamoto Sei. Judging from her obviously smooth skin, she had already washed her face.

"Good morning."

Miyamoto yawned as he spoke.

"Wait until I finish washing up and start cooking."

"I'll make breakfast, brother, you go wash up first."

As Miyamoto Yukiko spoke, she began to hum a song. The song was one that Miyamoto was extremely familiar with; it was "The Chance of Meteorite" from R5th, after all, he had sung it many times.

Yukiko Miyamoto, the younger sister of Sei Miyamoto, is 14 years old and a junior high school student who is doing quite well in her studies. She often worries about her older brother.

However, none of that mattered. What frustrated Miyamoto the most was that Yukiko Miyamoto's idol was Nana Miyamoto, the center of the SKR girl group Team Research.

Miyamoto Nana is the identity of Miyamoto Se after he cross-dresses. The idol that his sister idolizes is actually himself, Miyamoto Yukiko's brother, Miyamoto Se!

However, Miyamoto couldn't tell his sister about this yet. After all, it was a secret that couldn't be revealed, not to mention, he couldn't imagine his sister's reaction after she found out the truth.

Leaving aside the likely comments like "You're disgusting" or "You're a pervert," just meeting you would probably be incredibly awkward.

"Nana-chan's performance on stage yesterday was absolutely amazing! I was planning to drag you along, but you were nowhere to be seen all day... Humph!"

Yukiko Miyamoto gave a soft hum, opened the refrigerator, and began taking out eggs and ham, intending to make a simple breakfast.

"I can't help it, I'm very busy. But if you want to follow celebrities, you can do it slowly. I don't really care about these things. You know, I prefer watching anime."

Miyamoto said, and went into the restroom.

Actually, I was there! I was on stage, and the one being illuminated by the lights was me!

He thought to himself as he turned on the tap.

After breakfast, I arrived at school and walked to my classroom. People around me were talking about it.

"The graduate students' performance yesterday was really good!"

"You saw it too?"

"Yeah, I watched it too, just the live broadcast on TV. This kind of live performance is no different from that of a professional idol, right?"

"That's true. Many idol groups actually have a hard time even getting 500 people to perform, but they've already gathered more than 2000 people before they've even become official members. No wonder they're called SKR. They're really rich and powerful. Their publicity is amazing."

Miyamoto couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly upon hearing this.

SKR's promotion? Aside from its reputation, there's been no official promotion whatsoever.

These fans were almost all acquired by them by freeloading at various weddings and performing on the streets. They also owe a debt of gratitude to the young people who like to show off at weddings, who like to post their performances online, generating a lot of buzz.

"SKR isn't exactly innocent either. If this performance isn't successful, the graduate students will reportedly be sidelined for a year. Those guys are crazy for money. They push the graduate students up there, but they're unwilling to lose money. If they do lose money, the graduate students will have to pay the price!"

"Isn't this even more absurd? I heard that if the number of participants doesn't reach the full 2000, they'll be sidelined. But in reality, even if there are only 1000 participants, we won't lose money, right? At most, we'll just earn a little less."

"Everyone online is saying that Risa Tempera is a devil, forcing graduate students to do something that is almost impossible, even though they actually did it. It's like the goddess of idols is protecting these girls!"

Yes, that's right, curse him more, Tempe P is a devil!

Miyamoto nodded secretly, feeling extremely pleased, and walked into the teaching building with a smile.

Upon entering the classroom, I found that everyone inside was talking animatedly, regardless of gender.

"I wasn't wrong, was I? The graduate students are absolutely amazing, Nana-chan is simply a goddess!"

The boy who had argued with Yukari Kojima over Nana Miyamoto last time was now excitedly talking to Kenta Iwagami.

This person's name is Yushan Liang. Because the other person was his fan, and they were from the same school and even the same grade, Miyamoto Se specifically went to look him up, which is how he found out the other person's name.

"While I can't deny that they are indeed very impressive, managing to fill the venue to two thousand people, it doesn't mean they can compare to the official members. My Hikari-chan is invincible!"

Kenta Iwagami immediately voiced his support for his idol, Hikaru Watanabe.

"Hikari-chan is the cutest! She's the idol of idols, the epitome of the classic idol!"

"Some people online are already predicting that Nana will definitely be a future goddess. In the future general election, Nana will definitely be the most dazzling star!" So Ryo Uyama immediately shouted, and the two of them were very aggressive.

"Damn it, are you trying to start a war?"

"Come on, who's afraid of who? Let's fight!"

The two roared and stretched out their hands, which then became entangled together, as if they were wrestling. The people around them watched the two as if they were watching a show.

Upon seeing this, Miyamoto turned his head and looked out the window.

Ryo Uyama's idol is Nana Miyamoto, and he hopes that Nana Miyamoto will stand on the stage of the general election. Unfortunately, the general election is in June next year, and as for Nana Miyamoto, she may not be there until December, or at most around January next year.

Presumably, by this time the single CD would be completed, and after recording the single CD, he could retire gracefully and leave the idol industry.

But then, there won't be any way to communicate with those people face-to-face anymore...

Miyamoto's eyes became somewhat unfocused. Although she was looking out the window, what appeared before her were the people who had worked hard with her these past few days.

There were contemporaries and seniors.

And that annoying face!
