I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"The taste is not bad. It seems that the kitchen fried it a little too long as I suggested."

Although it was still very spicy, my mouth had become more tolerant of the spiciness, and I recovered faster than before. Miyamoto was once again certain that his body was indeed different from before. As for why it only started to work recently, it was probably because he had only recently begun to truly control the Heavenly Demon Three-Piece Set.

He quickly finished the first chicken wing and then picked up the second one.

"Hey! You! You're treating this punishment game like a free treat! And it's free!" The host pointed at Miyamoto Sei, looking shocked. As the staff brought over the milk, the host continued, "Ah, I'm so envious! You get to eat what you like and drink milk too!"

"If you like, I can give you the chicken wings I get next time."

"No, thank you, but I'd rather not. I feel like if I eat it, I'll have to take sick leave tomorrow."

He promptly bowed in apology, and the host asked with some concern, "Does your stomach need some time to recover?"

"No, no need. It tastes good, and I've always had a big appetite."

At this moment, the comments on the live TV platform were full of laughter.

[Haha, this is so much fun! It was supposed to be a punishment game, but it turned into Nana's food tasting contest!]

[She really seems to be enjoying it, completely unfazed by the spiciness, but the reactions of others are so exaggerated. Is she some alien from a spicy food planet?]

[Perhaps Miyamoto Nana's favorite food is Mapo Tofu?]

[Mapo tofu isn't usually that spicy, right? Look how much water that person drank while eating it! Nanjiang even cried from eating it. I bet if I tried it, my stomach would rebel and kill me.]

[But isn't this great? The production team definitely wanted to prank someone, but now they've gotten pranked themselves!]

[The production team definitely needs to blacklist her. Where did this weirdo come from? She can eat way too much spicy food!]

[It's not just this show; I reckon several shows known for their spicy food will blacklist her.]

The TV program's ratings continued to rise, and on stage, Sakagami Minami unsurprisingly lost the last few questions, successfully giving Miyamoto Sei a good beating.

Literally, it means eating very comfortably.

With each chicken wing she ate, she felt her tolerance for spiciness increase. By now, it's become no different from regular chili peppers, but it's stopped increasing.

Miyamoto was quite happy about this. If she continued to improve, she would have to frantically search for all kinds of super spicy chili peppers whenever she wanted to eat spicy food in the future.

Moreover, Miyamoto Sei also had a question at this moment: just how high is the upper limit of this change? After all, he was only at the beginner level and could not continue to cultivate. He was only at his current level because of the effect of the system's newbie gift pack.

"I'm sorry, Nana-chan, I've done my best..."

Sobbing, Sakagami Minami came to Miyamoto Sei's side, looking completely bewildered.

"It's alright, Minami-senpai, I think I'm having a great time!" He patted Minami's hair. "This level of spiciness is no problem for me!"

Seeing Miyamoto Nana's lips, now bright red from the chili peppers, Sakagami Minami's heart pounded. Not knowing what to say, she could only manage a soft "Mmm" before heading back to her original seat.

"So, for the SKR team, the next player is Mika Komatsu!"

Mika Komatsu stood up from her seat, a confident smile on her face, and walked onto the stage.

"Then let everyone see my strength."

Completely devoid of her usual arrogant demeanor, Mika Komatsu displayed the side of an idol, her radiance at that moment unmatched!

"Is Mika Komatsu of Japanese-American descent?"

“That’s right, my father is American and my mother is Japanese, so I’m of mixed Japanese and American descent,” Mika Komatsu nodded.

"So that's how it is. So your blonde hair is natural?"

"Yes, my blonde hair is natural, not dyed!"

As Mika Komatsu spoke, she proudly tossed her hair, her long, light blonde hair standing out under the theater lights. Combined with her confident expression, she truly shone brightly at that moment.

Miyamoto looked at the other person's naturally long blond hair and chuckled inwardly.

As expected of someone so proud and aloof, blonde hair really suits her.

"What prompted you to become an idol?" the host asked again, seemingly trying to stall for time, but this was obviously a good thing, as it could increase your exposure.

"What made me an idol?" A brighter smile spread across her face, and Mika Komatsu slightly raised her chin. "That's because I wanted the whole world to see the brilliance I radiate!"

"That's quite a powerful answer. Has that been your thinking since you were a child?"

"That's right, that's what I thought when I was a kid, which is why I became an idol!"

"Alright, now let's have the winner of the first round, the mysterious challenger A, and the future idol contestant, Mika Komatsu, begin the new round of competition!"

"Now for question eight, please listen carefully."

Who is number one on the global singer record sales chart?

"Ding!"

Quickly pressing the buzzer, Mika Komatsu, still fully focused, immediately answered, "Beetle!"

"Correct answer! The world's best-selling singer is The Beatles!"

Having failed to get off to a good start, the mysterious challenger A's lips twitched. Although the chicken wings shouldn't be spicy anymore, the feeling of not being able to answer the question made his face look rather unpleasant, with a burning sensation.

Even with the mask on, there was still a feeling that I had made a fool of myself in front of millions of people, and that I had been recognized by people I knew, which made me feel very uncomfortable.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Rise of Miyu Eian [Second Update]

"That girl named Miyamoto Nana is really reckless. She's already eaten eight chicken wings. Even if there's not much meat on the wings, the chili content is too high. Won't she cause any problems?"

The staff looked at the person in charge with some concern, but the person in charge just stared at the screen with eyes full of excitement.

"This girl is perfect for variety shows, and her reckless personality actually adds a lot of laughs to the program. Look at the comments online now, everyone is happy because of her behavior!"

I'm talking to you about safety issues...

The staff member was at a loss for words.

"Her expression seems fine, but have you prepared the medication? Also, keep some milk for her. And... could you reduce the spiciness of the chili peppers on her end? We can't afford for anything to go wrong..."

"Yes, I understand!" the staff member said, and immediately ran off to make the arrangements.

On the front stage, Mika Komatsu successfully solved the first question. Up to this point, including the wins and losses when Minami Sakagami was a contestant, the mysterious challenger A has failed three times. Two more attempts and she can leave the stage.

If all three players can be eliminated beforehand, then there's no need to wait for the answers; the SKR team will win immediately.

"Next is the ninth question, please listen carefully. Legend has it that Susanoo defeated the Yamata no Orochi and obtained a weapon from its tail. What was this weapon?"

"Ding!"

Mika Komatsu once again got the chance to answer, her face still bearing that confident smile, as if no question could stump her.

"Tian Cong Yun Sword!"

"Correct answer! Then let's continue the punishment game!"

The loser was given another chicken wing. If they could do it again, they could eliminate the mysterious challenger A.

"Question 10! Who was the mother of Oda Nobukatsu, the son of Oda Nobunaga, a powerful figure during Japan's Sengoku period?"

This question made Mika Komatsu frown. The answer was that she really didn't know. As for Oda Nobunaga, all she knew was that he had died at Honnoji Temple.

As for who his descendants are, and who their fathers were, who cares about those questions!

"Ding!"

This time, the mysterious challenger A seized the opportunity, smiled smugly, and shouted out the answer.

"Ikoma Yoshino!"

"Ah, I failed. It was this kind of problem!" Mika Komatsu showed a frustrated expression, demonstrating her acting skills.

Meanwhile, the mysterious challenger A, who had successfully answered the question, was overjoyed.

Ultimately, they are idols who are busy singing and dancing. Although they may know some common sense, they are obviously not good at this kind of professional question. After all, most Sengoku period enthusiasts probably have no interest in knowing who Oda Nobunaga's son was.

Unlike him, these are things that require special study, and you won't get credits if you don't study them well!

Mika Komatsu looked at Nana Miyamoto apologetically, only to see the other woman give her a reassuring look, seemingly not caring at all about eating a few more chicken wings.

There wasn't much meat on the chicken wings, and since I hadn't had dinner yet, it seemed like I could use them to finish my dinner.

"So, for the eleventh question, among Oda Nobunaga's descendants, who is a descendant of his principal wife, Nohime?"

"Ding!"

It was still the mysterious challenger A who stole the opportunity to answer.

"No."

"Correct answer. It is a pity that the principal wife, Nohime, has never borne any children. We can only ask Miss Miyamoto Nana to continue to accept the punishment."

"No problem, just keep going, and don't forget my milk."

"I won't forget, I won't forget, after all, you're the guest who can eat the spiciest food since the show started."

Because I can handle the spiciest food, I can drink as much milk as I want?

Miyamoto thought to himself as he began to prepare the chicken wings.

He has also noticed that the production team has started to deliberately steer the conversation toward professional questions. In other words, there will no longer be questions that ordinary people can answer based on common sense. It is clear that the organizers intend to protect the three challengers. If the five guests on this side cannot even defeat one of the opponents, then it will indeed be a case of making a fool of themselves to highlight the topicality.

Two famous idols, plus three graduate students who became idols, couldn't even beat three randomly selected ordinary people. What a great topic!

The subsequent questions proved Miyamoto's guess to be correct. Every question was a professional one, not the kind that an ordinary person could answer. This made Komatsu Mika's expression turn somewhat ugly. How could she not realize that she was being targeted?

"It's such a pity. So far, two members of the SKR girl group have been eliminated, while the challenger team hasn't lost a single member. So who will the SKR girl group send next?"
