I became a girl group idol for my sister.

Miyamoto chuckled.

"Don't worry, I have some sword skills. Even if Mika-chan loses her grip, she can't hurt me!"

These words made Mika Komatsu roll her eyes.

"You make it sound like I'm going to let go. Don't worry, I won't let go, and I won't make a mistake! I've already memorized those moves perfectly!"

A proud young girl, declaring this.

"I can learn those moves after watching them twice, not to mention we've already performed them several times!"

“Me too, I’ll hold on tight, so don’t worry.” After saying that, Miyamoto looked at Yamazaki Ryosuke: “Then, Mr. Yamazaki, shall we begin?”

These two... they have this vibe, they'd be perfect as actors... but being active idols must be really busy...

With a slight sigh of regret, Yamazaki Ryosuke shouted, "Alright! Everyone, clean up the scene. And everyone else, lie on the ground. Yes, that's the last scene!"

Putting aside his slight regret, Yamazaki Ryosuke shouted again as he set up the stage.

Chapter 86 The Return of the Sister

"Don't worry, sister. I've been studying hard lately. Even though it's the holidays, I'm still reviewing. I'll definitely pass the January exams. I'm sure I can get into Sakura Ocean Academy!"

"Speaking of which, how are you doing in the hospital, sister? It's been over five months already, and brother still won't tell me which hospital you're in, saying it's quite far away... Aren't the best hospitals in Japan located in Tokyo? Could it be that you've gone abroad?"

"Oh? You're already getting ready to go home? You only need to wait a few more days before you can come back? That's great! I'll come pick you up then!"

"Okay, okay, I will. My brother works quite late every day, but he seems to be in good health. Hehe, I will also help with cooking and cleaning, so don't worry, sister."

"Okay, goodbye sister. Take care of yourself and listen to the doctor's advice to get plenty of rest!"

After hanging up the phone, Yukiko Miyamoto put it aside.

I make sure to contact my sister at least once a week, although she still calls more often, like every two or three days.

After saying all that, Yukiko Miyamoto fell into deep thought.

So, what exactly is your brother's job?

Why don't I just go check out his bedroom? Maybe I can find some clues.

However, this isn't a good idea. My brother is already so old, and there might be things he doesn't want me to see, like pornographic books.

She was still conflicted, but since the last time she followed him, Miyamoto Yukiko felt a little more at ease.

I checked the area near where my brother went last time, and there were no host clubs there. It seemed to be a fairly legitimate place, which means my brother wasn't doing anything wrong. Although I don't know what kind of work it was, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with him.

As the younger sister, of course I have to trust my brother. I can't overthink things or have any wild ideas!

Trying to cheer herself up, Yukiko Miyamoto turned her head to one side.

On the wall is a poster of Nana Miyamoto's sunny smile. It's a poster of Nana Miyamoto and her friends performing at the Shibuya Public Hall. She bought it and hung it in her bedroom.

Seeing Miyamoto Nana's smile, Miyamoto Yukiko also smiled.

"As expected, Nana-chan's smile is absolutely amazing! Just looking at it makes me feel so energized!"

The sound of the door opening came from outside, and Yukiko Miyamoto immediately got up from the bed and happily walked out of the bedroom.

"Welcome home!"

"Well, I'm back."

Miyamoto nodded, put his things down, and stretched slightly.

The filming of the CD single went smoothly. At least judging from the expression on director Ryosuke Yamazaki's face, the new director looked very happy, as if he had made a blockbuster that could win a major award.

“Brother, sister said she can come home soon, let’s go pick her up together!” Miyamoto Yukiko suddenly pounced on Miyamoto Sei’s back.

The perfume smells a little different than usual.

"Brother, did you change your perfume?"

"Hmm, I have quite a few kinds of perfumes, I change them according to my mood." Miyamoto said casually, and put Miyamoto Yukiko on the sofa: "I have already explained to my sister about her being discharged from the hospital, so don't oversleep."

"Don't worry, I won't oversleep!"

The date for picking up Rina Miyamoto to take her home was set for three days later, on the 31st, the last day of 2016.

Because the Imperial Private Hospital wasn't actually that far away, and could be reached quickly by car or subway, Miyamoto Sei didn't keep giving the address to avoid Miyamoto Yukiko from overthinking, and kept delaying until Miyamoto Rina was discharged from the hospital.

He originally planned to wait until Miyamoto Yukiko finished her exams, which was after January, and then talk to her about it.

But Rina Miyamoto's awakening made everything better.

Everything was proceeding as planned, except for one thing.

He, Miyamoto Sei, will continue to work in the idol industry as Miyamoto Nana until at least July of next year.

In June, there will be the SKR girl group's general election!

……

"Miss Miyamoto, you really like watching the SKR girl group." The nurse placed a plate of peeled and cut apples aside. "Although I'm not a fan of theirs, I have a friend who is. She shouts 'Ogiko-chan! Ogiko-chan!' every day."

“Because they’ve always worked so hard. Seeing how hard they work makes me want to work even harder,” Rina Miyamoto said, putting her phone aside. The phone was showing a program related to “Extremely Hot Hell.”

"This girl named Miyamoto Nana has become quite famous recently. I heard they even put on a show at Shibuya Public Hall, saying it's a privilege that graduate students almost never get." The nurse, with her sharp eyes, immediately spotted Miyamoto Nana eating chicken wings on the screen.

"Yes, that's definitely not a privilege that graduate students can receive."

As someone who originally planned to enter the idol industry, Rina Miyamoto nodded.

"I watched the relevant programs. This time, 'Extremely Spicy Hell' was prepared for these three graduate students, while the two seniors were there to protect and support them. It was a small experiment. Because this program was successful, the organizers thought of giving them a bigger opportunity."

"So it's still like this."

"Yes, all three of them are amazing, especially Miyamoto Nana and Komatsu Mika. Both of them have experience as substitutes, so they can perform with the regular members without any problems. They might be the strongest generation of trainees I've ever seen."

Seeing Rina Miyamoto giving her comments so earnestly, the nurse laughed.

"Haha, Miss Miyamoto really is a fan of her idol."

"This is because... because I really like idols, these sparkling beings." Miyamoto Rina said to the nurse with a smile.

Actually, it's because I've also wanted to become an idol...

She thought about it silently and shook her head slightly.

Actually, trying to attend classes properly seems like a good idea.

……

After taking the subway to the station closest to her home, Rina Miyamoto slowly stepped off the train.

Several months had made the road in my memory seem somewhat unfamiliar, but when I saw two people smiling and waving ahead, everything became familiar again.

They came to pick up her younger brother and sister.

"elder sister!"

Yukiko Miyamoto ran over excitedly, shouting, and hugged her tightly, rubbing her body against her: "Sister's back! Sister's finally back!"

She shouted happily, completely oblivious to the people around her.

Rina Miyamoto gently stroked Yukiko Miyamoto's hair and chuckled softly, "I'm back, Yukiko."

"Yes, my sister is back!"

Yukiko Miyamoto spoke with great joy.

For her, Yukiko Miyamoto was not only her older sister, but also the pillar of the family, and she was like a mother to her.

Rina Miyamoto looked to the other side, where Sei Miyamoto was standing, not coming up, but just smiling.

"I'm back, Sei."

"Welcome back." Miyamoto said, taking the bag from Miyamoto Rina's hand. "I'll carry this. You and your sister can just hold hands. These days, she often asks me things like, 'When you have time, take me to see your sister.'"

"That's because you, brother, have always been unwilling to take me, saying things like it's too far away and you're too busy..." Miyamoto Yukiko muttered, "If I didn't call my sister so often, I would have thought you were hiding something from me."

The siblings exchanged a smile, both quite pleased that they had managed to keep what had happened from Miyamoto Yukiko.

Neither of them wanted these things to affect Miyamoto Yukiko's exams. Miyamoto Yukiko had a good academic level because of her memories from her previous life, which meant she had more than ten years of extra learning experience.

Yukiko Miyamoto genuinely possesses a talent for learning; her grades are excellent, and she is capable of getting into a good school.

Just like her goal, Sakurami Academy, with a deviation score of over 70, it can be said to be very strong. Even if Miyamoto Yukiko wants to take the entrance exam for Tokyo University in the future, she will not have much of a problem. She may be able to get in easily.

As for her older sister, Rina Miyamoto, she's the same way. She learns everything very quickly. Although she doesn't have enough time to study because she has to help support her family and also has to learn dance and other things, she can catch up quickly if she starts learning now.

Without the experience from his past life and the help of the system now, he, Miyamoto Sei, would probably be the most ordinary person in this family.

"Sister, you're going to start school soon, right?" Miyamoto asked, looking at her older sister to see her reaction.

"Yes, I plan to study hard. I can make a good living with regular part-time jobs. I've also contacted the school, and they said that I can take extra classes during the holidays and then take an exam. If I pass the exam, I can start directly from the senior year of high school."

Rina Miyamoto spoke with a smile on her face, showing no sign of sadness.

Noticing Miyamoto Sei's gaze, she became somewhat curious.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"It's nothing, I just think she's truly worthy of being called my older sister." Miyamoto smiled and looked out the window.

My sister is still the same, smiling, walking forward with strength, as if no setback can defeat her...
