I became a girl group idol for my sister.

He thought to himself silently, feeling a little relieved.

Do you think I'll become insecure because of this, because I can't become an idol?

The soft voice reached her ears, spoken so quietly that it went unheard by Yukiko Miyamoto, who was walking happily ahead.

Miyamoto gave a stiff smile, then nodded slightly.

"You're underestimating your sister. If we lived in ancient times, your sister would be a strong woman, and she might even be wearing armor and carrying a razor on the battlefield."

Rina Miyamoto's words were lighthearted and tinged with laughter: "Besides, I've already thought it through. Since the doctor said I can't do strenuous exercise, I'll listen to the doctor. If I can't shine on stage, I'll shine in university. It wouldn't be bad to start a company later."

Miyamoto immediately became interested upon hearing this.

"Are you starting a company? Is it an agency for training idols and actors, or something else? Like clothing or something similar?"

"I haven't decided yet, but the key is to learn how to operate the company and related things first, as well as finance. These are all things that must be learned. Judging from this, your sister is going to be very busy in the near future."

Starting a company is not an easy task. Even a small firm requires a lot of professional knowledge. Miyamoto knew that Miyamoto Rina was right. Miyamoto Rina would be very busy in the next four years as she would need to learn a great deal of professional knowledge.

This is not just the compulsory courses assigned by the school; it also includes various elective courses and other content that you choose to study because you think it will be useful.

Taking Miyamoto Sei's own idol career as an example, idols need to learn singing and dancing, which are compulsory.

However, you also need to learn facial expression management, how to act, and other miscellaneous things. Many of these are not mandatory requirements, but learning them will benefit your career as an idol.

Because Miyamoto Sei himself knows ancient swordsmanship, some special details were added during the filming of the music video to make the music video even better.

To improve an industry, you can never have too many skills.

“By the way, I’m out of the hospital now, so you can probably stop working now, right?” Miyamoto Rina suddenly said.

"I can't leave yet because of some personal reasons. I estimate I'll have to stay until around July." Miyamoto shook his head. "Although the boss said I could leave if I wanted, I still want to stay for a while longer, since I've already troubled everyone for quite some time."

The faces of everyone flashed through my mind.

The training partners who accompanied him, the seniors who encouraged him and even helped him find solutions, and the fans who supported him, especially the child who rekindled his courage and was willing to face life's difficulties because of him.

Miyamoto felt that he had not made a mistake in his choice.

Seeing the smile on Miyamoto Sei's face, which wasn't a smile directed at her but rather a smile that seemed to indicate she was recalling something, Miyamoto Rina turned her head to look ahead.

"Is that so? It seems you're quite popular at work, Sei. The fact that you can show this expression means you really like your job, right?"

"No way! My biggest wish is to stay at home and spend my days with my games and anime!"

Miyamoto immediately retorted, but Miyamoto Rina just chuckled.

"Your expression doesn't seem to convey that meaning!"

"I just felt that since I had caused them trouble, I should take some responsibility!"

She stubbornly stated her reasons, even though Miyamoto herself didn't believe them.

Chapter 87 Shrine [Second Update]

As Miyamoto Rina returned home, Miyamoto Sei took out everything he had prepared. Although Wagyu beef was expensive, regular beef was quite cheap, and with the addition of fresh vegetables, he decided he should cook a delicious meal.

Yukiko Miyamoto obediently ran over to help out, assisting as she went.

Rina Miyamoto sat on the sofa at home, enjoying the familiar atmosphere, and she felt very relaxed.

The preparation time might have been a bit long, but when the food was served and the family enjoyed a long-awaited reunion dinner together, watching his older sister chatting and laughing with his younger sister, Miyamoto felt it was all worth it.

Today is the last day of 2016. According to tradition, people can go to the shrine tonight to pray and prepare for the New Year.

Alternatively, you can stay at home and watch TV, waiting for the Lunar New Year programs to air.

However, idols have their own jobs.

Around 7:00, Miyamoto received a phone call.

"Is there a group activity tonight?" Miyamoto listened to the phone call from the theater, feeling somewhat helpless, but he knew there was nothing he could do about it: "Okay, I understand, I'll be there."

"Work?"

Rina Miyamoto looked at Sei Miyamoto with some curiosity, not expecting her to have work at this time.

"Yes, it's work. I need to get there right away." Miyamoto nodded, somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, we can't celebrate the New Year together tonight."

"Eh? Today is New Year's Day, so taking leave shouldn't be a problem, right?" Miyamoto Yukiko looked at Miyamoto Sei and said what most people would think.

Miyamoto shook his head. He would like to ask for leave if he could, but the reality was that he couldn't: "No, this is something that can't be done without me, so I have to go."

Miyamoto walked into his bedroom, quickly tidied his clothes, and picked up his bag.

"I'm leaving now. You two remember not to stay out too late. After all, my sister just came back from the hospital and needs to recover properly."

Miyamoto said this as he walked out of the house.

He was suddenly called over, whether for a performance or some other reason, but as the center, he had no reason to refuse such a request.

Watching Miyamoto Sei walk out, Miyamoto Yukiko muttered to herself, "My brother's job seems really busy. Are you sure he's not just exploiting his employees?"

"It should be the kind of teamwork. In general, it's difficult to get the work done if one person isn't there. And judging from his expression, he seems to be very attached to his job. It's a good thing to be relied on like this."

As Miyamoto Rina spoke, she looked at the television.

"Okay, tell me what you've been doing while I was away. For example, did you have a crush on any guys?"

"No way! I don't have any free time to spend on boys!"

……

When Miyamoto arrived at the theater after changing her clothes and putting on makeup, she found that everyone else was already there. Upon seeing Miyamoto's arrival, Hasegawa Subaru immediately came up to her.

"Hurry up and get ready."

"Is there some important performance?" Miyamoto asked Hasegawa Subaru as he picked up the prepared clothes, the kimono he had worn last time.

"Today is New Year's Eve, the atmosphere is at its best. You need to go to the shrine for filming. We've already arranged the location. We called you here because we arranged it in a hurry."

Are you shooting for New Year's Eve?

It's really suitable for shooting kimono scenes, and it can also be paired with the Christmas scenes from last time.

Miyamoto thought about it for a moment, then went to the bathroom and quickly changed his clothes.

With the bus that served the theater, a group of people could easily get to their destination, a rather small shrine.

The shrine is called Huichuan Shrine. The entire shrine is located in bustling Tokyo, but it is hidden in a small hill covered with trees and winding paths that lead to the shrine.

Looking at it from below, it's hard to imagine that a shrine is hidden in this place near the street.

The shrine's owner was an elderly woman who looked to be in her eighties, with a cheerful smile on her face. They were greeted by a little girl who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a shrine maiden's outfit and holding a stick with white paper ribbons tied to it. These ribbons, called "gohei," were props used by shrine maidens during prayers.

"Welcome to Huichuan Shrine! My name is Amatsume Yoko. Please follow me!"

With a blush, she greeted everyone rather reservedly. It was clear that there weren't many people here, otherwise a shrine maiden wouldn't be so shy; she simply lacked experience in interacting with strangers.

"So cute! I really want to hug it, and then gently rub and pinch it!"

As a statement resembling a criminal declaration reached her ears, Miyamoto Sei couldn't help but roll her eyes. Shimada Yurina, and Nagayasu Miyu, standing beside her, smiled awkwardly and pulled Shimada Yurina along, as if afraid she might lose control in a moment.

"If you indulge your desires here, our filming will be ruined. The chief priest will probably kick us out, and the music video for the CD single might be flawed!"

Mika Komatsu said calmly.

Hearing Mika Komatsu's words, Yurina Shimada wiped her drool and said, "Of course I won't act rashly, don't worry!"

Her face still wore a smile full of aggression as she stared at the little shrine maiden, Yoko Amami.

Seeing you like this, I feel like it's hard for you to resist...

Miyamoto thought silently for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I think you can hold back for a bit, and wait until after filming to do something with the shrine maiden, right?"

"That's right, that really works! Plus, we can make friends with Yoko during the filming!" Shimada Yurina's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded in approval: "Nana-chan, your idea is brilliant!"

The entire shoot will take several hours, and after that you'll have to take a bus back. You won't have time to bother anyone else...

There probably isn't much time, but if girls stick together, this child seems quite shy. If Yurina helps her, it might actually be beneficial for her. This carefree personality is a good thing in some ways.

Miyamoto thought to himself, then smiled and shook his head.

"What's wrong, Nana-chan?" Miyu asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've been meddling in other people's business."

Even though it has nothing to do with me, I'm still thinking about how to cheer people up... It's definitely a bit nosy, but if it really works, it seems like a good thing.

Besides, this is where the music video was filmed, and Yoko Amami is the shrine maiden here, the future priestess. So, it doesn't seem like she's meddling in other people's business.

However, the surname Tiannvmu seems familiar.

Miyamoto frowned, trying to recall if he had heard the surname somewhere before, but after thinking for a while, he still couldn't remember.

The filming was divided into several parts. First, each person filmed individually, then everyone split into groups to film, and finally, the whole group filmed together while the staff prepared. Miyamoto and the others sat inside the shrine.

"Young people these days are really full of energy. It reminds me of the old days when I also liked to stay up late and have fun, just like you guys."

The old man at the shrine, or rather the priest, spoke with a smile, holding a dark teacup with spiral patterns on it, filled with matcha.

We're not just playing around here...

Miyamoto silently complained in his heart, but smiled outwardly.
