"It was the same the day before yesterday and the day before yesterday, and yesterday as well. He left so early today as well. What on earth is my brother doing? And he said he was doing some kind of work... Is there any job that requires perfume?"

Although she was a little confused, Yukiko Miyamoto still returned to her bedroom, lay down on the bed again, and slept comfortably for a while before getting up. After washing her face and brushing her teeth, it was already ten o'clock.

She heated up the meal her brother had prepared and ate it, feeling how delicious the food was. She couldn't help but cover her cheeks with joy.

"Wow, this is indeed the meal cooked by my brother. It tastes much better than the food in the school cafeteria. I feel like I will never get tired of it!"

After finishing her meal, washing the dishes, tidying up, and cleaning the room, Yukiko Miyamoto sat on the sofa and turned on TV to watch.

The phone rang at this time. Yukiko Miyamoto picked up the phone and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Ah, Chestnut sauce, long time no see!"

"It's just a few days since we last met, and maybe we'll be classmates in the future." The voice on the other end of the phone made Yukiko Miyamoto smile: "Are you going to apply to Sakurakai Academy too?"

"Yes, I also want to apply to Sakurakai Academy. The school uniform there is so cute, I really want to wear it!" The girl on the other end of the phone said, "But the exam is still a bit difficult, so I plan to go to a cram school during the holiday. What about you?"

"Cram school?" After thinking for a moment, Yukiko Miyamoto blinked her eyes and said, "I think my grades are pretty good, but I still have to go to cram school to consolidate my knowledge!"

"Okay then. By the way, do you want to go out and play together today?"

"Okay!"

The two agreed on a meeting place, then packed up a little and Yukiko Miyamoto left the house.

The meeting place was a park. After meeting with my junior high school friend Morita Kuriko, the two of them walked in the park and chatted.

"Ah, I've been busy studying for three years in junior high school. I really want to have a relationship..."

Morita Kuriko complained, her whole body exuding a low mood.

"It's okay if we don't have a romantic relationship."

Yukiko Miyamoto said with a smile.

As a result, Morita Kuriko became even more annoyed.

"Ah, you don't know. Yesterday my sister complained to me that my life was incomplete because I had never been in a relationship during junior high school. I don't want to be criticized by her like that!"

"That's a bit too absolute, but Ms. Morita is really amazing. She has changed boyfriends three times in high school?"

"Four times, and she dumped me the third time." After muttering, Morita Kuriko laughed again: "When I get into Sakurakai Academy, I can use the fact that it's an all-girls school to silence her!"

At this point, Morita Kuriko suddenly looked at Miyamoto Yukiko with some curiosity: "By the way, Yukiko, where is your brother? Did he have a relationship in high school?"

"I don't know. My brother told me that he doesn't have a girlfriend, but I've always felt that he's a little strange recently. He used to have short hair, but suddenly he cut it even shorter. Also, he sprays perfume when he goes out recently and chooses more fragrant shower gels. He leaves early and comes back late, and I don't know what he's doing."

Yukiko Miyamoto muttered about what she had recently discovered, frowning as she finished speaking.

"This shouldn't be a girlfriend, right? And what kind of job is it? What kind of job would have such a requirement?"

"Work? Could it be the kind of job that involves accompanying rich women?!" Morita Kuriko stared with her eyes full of excitement, and her two little hands had already covered her mouth, she almost shouted out loud.

"No, no, no, my brother would never do something like that... Don't talk nonsense, or I'll beat you up!"

"You really are protecting your brother, so I won't joke with you anymore." Morita Kuriko put down her hand with a smile, then thought for a moment: "But in the situation you described, it is possible that your brother is really in love."

"really?"

"First of all, the haircut shows that he wants to show his masculinity, and then he changes his shower gel and uses perfume, which shows that he needs to prevent any bad smell from appearing on his body when he is in contact with the other person. It shows that he is very concerned about these things in his heart, and these concerns are often caused by the inferiority complex brought about by love."

Listening to what Morita Kuriko said, Miyamoto Yukiko touched her chin.

"Is it really like this?"

"Yes, and leaving early and returning late. A couple in love would like to have 25 hours in a day so that they can stick together all the time. So leaving early and returning late is really normal!"

Looking at Yukiko Miyamoto who was lost in thought, Kuriko Morita gently patted her shoulder with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Does Brother Control feel the crisis?"

"I'm not a brother complex!" Miyamoto Yukiko refuted her bestie's words without hesitation, and said hesitantly: "I'm just a little worried. After all, what if my brother is deceived by a bad woman?"

"If you are worried, why not just follow her? If she is a bad woman, then rescue your brother. If she is a good person, then you should find a way to help your brother take her down."

Yukiko Miyamoto hesitated for a moment and finally nodded at her good friend's suggestion.

"This is a good idea, I'll adopt it!"

At this time, Miyamoto Se, who was the subject of discussion, was continuing to train in the dance studio of the theater.

After three days of intensive training, the ninth batch of graduate students finally performed well today.

"Okay, today's dance training ends here for now. You guys take a break. We'll go to the recording studio for a sound check later. Then get your lyrics scripts and write them all down today. Do you understand?"

"Yes, got it!"

The training was called to a halt. A few people rested for a while and then walked towards the recording studio. Thanks to three days of high-intensity training, although they had trained for several hours today, they were not as tired as the first day.

Some of them were even able to chat and laugh.

"Audition, that means we're about to start formal training."

"Yeah, I'm so happy. I don't know which row I'll be in, maybe the third row."

"I hope I can be in the second row, but don't count on the first row, as it will definitely be occupied by senior graduate students."

Several people were talking, but Miyamoto Se didn't say anything. He was thinking about the conversation between these people, and silently thinking about where he wanted to stand.

if you can……

"Nana-chan, which position do you want?" A faint voice came from Yongan Miyuki. Although she could sing loudly and even shout out greetings, her voice was still very thin when she spoke normally.

"Of course it's the first row."

Hearing what Miyamoto Se said, everyone looked at her, as if they had not expected Miyamoto Se to say such a thing.

For the new graduate students, this idea is really a step forward.

Shimada Yurina slapped Miyamoto Se on the back and said, "Haha, you really dare to say that. But it's the first row. As expected, I also want to do it. If you want to do it, you should say it honestly!"

"Yes, I want to, but it is impossible this time."

"Yes, we are the ninth batch. It is said that for this kind of performance, usually only a few new graduate students can go on stage."

"Be more confident and believe in yourself. After all, if you want to stand on the stage, you must show yourself confidently, otherwise the fans will definitely not be happy." Recalling the conversation with Sakagami Minami at the KTV the day before yesterday, Miyamoto Se smiled at everyone.

"Nana-chan, aren't you afraid? During the last training session, you stood up and asked us to cheer up. This time, too, you asked us to be confident. But Nana-chan, you really look very confident like this."

"Yeah, Nana-chan never looks scared!"

"No." Miyamoto shook her head. "How could I not be afraid? In fact, I have always been afraid, whether it was online or offline auditions, including during dance training, I was very scared. But when I think about standing on the stage in the future, these fears are nothing. After all, we will face tens of thousands of audiences in the future."

Recalling the enthusiasm of more than 300 people at the scene, the atmosphere alone was so hot and made people's blood boil. If there were tens of thousands of people at the scene, the atmosphere would have been even more amazing.

Imagining this atmosphere, Miyamoto Se clenched his fists.

"If you think about the situation you are facing, then what you are facing now is actually not something you need to be afraid of, right? Even if you are still afraid, you can face these fears and overcome them. After all, if you don't overcome them, then there will be no future, right?"

Once again, he cheered for his peers. Seeing that they were gaining confidence, Miyamoto Se also laughed.

"Let's go to the sound check!"

"Oh! Go do the sound check!"

In the audition room, Miyamoto Se and others stood in order and began to try.

The audition was different from the last interview in that this test was more comprehensive, requiring students to sing all the familiar songs.

Originally, these few people were selected and their singing level was pretty good, except for some problems like their voices being a little soft and their breath not being able to keep up, which could be improved relatively quickly.

When it was Miyamoto Se's turn, he walked up immediately. Ever since he went to KTV with Sakagami Minami last time, he had been trying hard to remember other songs. In addition to the "Original Heart" that he was good at, he also remembered two other songs. Now there are three songs that he no longer needs to remember.

“Is it still The Beginning?”

"Okay, please."

Taking a deep breath, calming himself, and quietly waiting for the music to start, Miyamoto Se opened his mouth.

The pronunciation method was completely different from the last interview. He truly integrated what Sakagami Minami taught him into his daily life. He sang the song using the pronunciation method that had become instinctive over the past three days. When he finished singing, he saw the staff who were a little stunned.

"Well, I sang..."

"Ah, okay, it's passed." The staff member finally reacted and said quickly.

"That's great! Nana!"

"Why is it that Nana-chan is suddenly singing so well?"

"Did he go to a music cram school?"

Looking at the cheering faces of several people, Miyamoto Se could only smile and didn't know how to answer.

"Minami-chan, what are you doing here?"

At the door, a girl hugged Sakagami Minami and shouted happily.

This girl looks like the idol named Watanabe Hikaru that Miyamoto Sei saw in the magazine.

"Just passing by and taking a look." Sakagami Minami smiled and let Watanabe Hikaru hold her like this.

"You stopped to take a look just as you passed by. Could it be that you found something interesting?"

"Yes." Sakagami Minami nodded: "I found an interesting junior."

"Hey, an interesting junior?" Watanabe Hikaru looked into the recording studio: "Who is it?"

"I'll tell you if you guess it right."

"Why don't you just tell me directly? Nan-chan shorty!"

"You're not much taller than me, are you?!"

The two of them left the recording studio happily.

Inside, the few people who were auditioning finally completed their task.

"Tomorrow we will start practicing for the graduate student performance. The sheets and CDs for your songs will be sent to you in a while. Please confirm your part and practice on your own. Do you understand?"

After leaving the recording studio, everyone had nothing to do and separated temporarily. Miyamoto Seo had nothing to do, so he walked and walked and found himself outside the dance studio.

Thinking there should be no one in the dance studio, I pushed open the door and saw a figure training inside.

Mika Komatsu.

There was still sweat on the ground. It was obvious that she had been training in this place, but apart from her, there were no other senior graduate students.

This woman who is in charge of the graduate center is also training hard when no one is looking, putting in much more effort than others.

I'll train with you too, and I also need to figure out how to use the Heavenly Demon Dance and see how to integrate it into my usual movements.

Miyamoto Se thought about it, walked to the side and started practicing.

Mika Komatsu had obviously noticed him, but she just glanced at him, said nothing, and continued with her training.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after training for about four songs, the door of the dance studio was pushed open again.

"Ah, Nana-chan is sneaking away!"

"We want to be together too!"

The ninth-term students filed in, and immediately stood up straight after seeing Mika Komatsu.

"Komatsu-senpai!"

He didn't reply, but continued training. Seeing this, several people immediately found their positions and started dancing again.

Miyamoto Se didn't know if his eyes were dazzled, but at that moment, he seemed to see the corners of Komatsu Mika's mouth curled up.

She smiled slightly at that moment.

It's not the usual smile, it's more natural than that kind of smile.

Chapter 11 How did I become the center?

"Hey, have you heard? This time the ninth batch of graduate students will be performing for the ninth batch of students."

"This is too much! My first time on stage was at the center. It took me a year to move from the third row to the second row!"

"I heard that it was the chief producer who pushed her. Unlike us, she has someone supporting her behind the scenes."

"Could it be that some trick was used? After all, it's not normal for a newcomer to get the Center right after he came in."
