Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Instead, should she take the medicine herself?

After taking that medicine, she will uncontrollably transform into that kind of body!

What a depraved man!

Tazaki Toru walked into the kitchen. The water that had been boiled earlier had cooled down. After pouring a glass of warm water, he returned to Tachibana Rin's side.

Seeing that she was pretending to be asleep, Tazaki Toru did not urge her. He poured out a hangover pill, placed it on the coffee table along with a water glass, and then sat on the floor, leaning against the sofa.

After an unknown amount of time, only the sounds of different breathing could be heard in the living room, alternating softly.

Rin Tachibana waited for a long time, but Tazaki Tooru made no further move. She mustered up her courage and secretly opened one eye.

I saw that profile, bathed in moonlight, both cool and gentle.

115. Tonight, Ms. Tachibana is lost in thought.

Feeling the girl's rather blatant gaze, Tazaki Toru tilted his head slightly and met her gaze precisely.

Rin Tachibana was startled and immediately closed her eyes, her mind racing with countless terrible thoughts.

But after waiting for a long time, Tazaki Toru still did not make any further moves.

Moreover, he didn't bring his cronies home as she had previously imagined.

Could it be that I'm just overthinking everything?

His eyes remained as gentle as ever, as if nothing in the world could stir up too much ripples in his heart.

What exactly do people think about every day to have such calm eyes?

Rin Tachibana blinked, his body gradually stopped trembling, and the soft moonlight draped him in a thin silver veil.

As they stared at each other for a while, the feeling of helplessness she had felt faded slightly, and she gradually regained some strength.

"Tazaki..."

Even at times like this, her voice remains distinctive, yet it is much softer than usual. Those accustomed to her timbre might find it rather endearing.

"You're willing to wake up?" Toru Tazaki asked.

"Take your medicine first."

Rin Tachibana stopped speculating and blinked a few times, staring intently at Toru Tazaki, before asking, "What medicine?"

"Of course, it's a hangover cure."

"...I'm not drunk."

"Who drank too much and passed out while taking a bath?"

Thanks to Tazaki Toru's reminder, Tachibana Rin's hazy memories became clear.

She felt she couldn't stay in the bath any longer, so she groggily climbed out of the bathtub. Finally, she was so exhausted that she collapsed in the bathroom.

Suddenly, I remembered the loose bath towel I was wearing and the men's jacket covering me.

Ms. Tachibana's face flushed instantly. She quickly hugged herself tightly and twisted her body back and forth, so that Tazaki Toru's coat could wrap her up tightly.

This is a skill I honed during my student days, through countless difficult winter mornings when it was hard to get out of bed. I never expected it would come in handy at a time like this.

"You, you didn't look around randomly, did you?"

"What do you mean by 'looking around randomly'?"

"It was when... they brought me to the living room."

Even Tachibana Rin couldn't help but feel a little shy when talking about such things. Her slender fingers, adorned with manicured nails, couldn't help but clench slightly, clutching the coat covering her body and pulling it up to cover half of her face, leaving only her eyes visible.

“…Hmm.” Tazaki Toru fell into deep thought.

"Did you see it or not?!"

Actually, this question is meaningless.

For the vast majority of men, the only answer at this point would be "I didn't see it."

Whether the answer is true or false, she, as a girl, cannot obtain confirmation.

What they wanted to verify was not a result, but an unspoken understanding.

Did you see it? No. That's good.

This unspoken understanding can be achieved in just three sentences.

In this way, she demonstrates that she is not the frivolous woman who doesn't care if a man sees her body, without embarrassing the man or causing unnecessary awkwardness.

Toru Katasaki is a somewhat rigid and serious eccentric with a subtle touch of gentlemanly spirit.

Indeed, most of the time, this is a commendable quality.

But for Tachibana Rin at this moment, she would rather Tazaki Toru be a man who lies all the time.

"A little bit."

Tazaki Toru said.

Rin Tachibana was immediately stunned, staring at Toru Tazaki for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sound: "Wh...what do you mean by 'a little bit'? Which 'bit'?"

“I looked at the neck, then the shoulders, and then the collarbone.”

“That’s not what I’m asking.”

"If I had to say, I did bump into your shoulder."

"You even touched me?!"

"If I don't touch you, there's no way I can get you out of here."

This statement was so striking that even Tachibana Rin couldn't think of a rebuttal for the time being.

He could only grumble in his heart, "Damn it, how come he can't even use a little magic?"

Why not simply wave the wand gently, recite a few difficult and obscure spells, and settle her down?

Well, perhaps that's asking too much.

Rin Tachibana continued to clutch her coat tightly, her lips moving slightly.

"What else? Have you seen it... um..."

Although it wasn't particularly grand or spectacular, these things aren't measured by size. After all, Ms. Tachibana was a young girl in the prime of her life, and she couldn't help but care.

Tazaki Toru's gaze was calm, and he knew exactly what she was worried about. He replied truthfully, "That's all."

"Really?"

“Every word is true.”

Rin Tachibana breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, her eyebrows furrowed together in a very troublesome manner.

"If you dare to lie to me, I'll show you the power of the Kubo family, and I guarantee you'll never be able to establish yourself in the entertainment industry again."

Tazaki Toru remained calm and replied in a composed tone, "Okay."

Rin Tachibana pouted: "How come you're not scared at all?"

Upon hearing Tachibana Rin's question, Tazaki Tooru looked puzzled: "I'm not lying to you, why are you afraid?"

"Well……"

His expression was so sincere and natural that it gave Miss Tachibana a strange feeling of "I'm so sorry for wrongly accusing you".

Tachibana Rin silently turned around, leaving Tazaki Toru with only the back of her head in her eyes.

A moment later, a girl's soft voice could be heard.

"Tazaki..."

"Ok?"

"Were you thinking to yourself just now that I'm one of the most troublesome girls in the world?"

"Just because of the questions you asked earlier?"

"……Um."

"If that's the case, my answer is no."

"I feel like there's something hidden in your words."

"Because even earlier, I had a feeling from the bottom of my heart that Ms. Tachibana was a slightly troublesome girl."

She suddenly turned back, staring silently at Toru Tazaki, as if trying to force him to change his mind through this silence.

"Regardless of the question I just asked, even if Ms. Tachibana hadn't asked anything, I still think Ms. Tachibana has a lively personality."

"In other words, even if I never thought you were a nuisance, I wouldn't change my opinion of you just because of your question."

"It's so hard to understand, I can't understand it!" she complained.

After a short while, she asked again, "Then you would hate being around a girl like me?"

"Of course not, liveliness isn't necessarily a bad thing."

She couldn't help but click her tongue, her lips moving slightly: "How come you two say the same thing as Hina? When did you become so in sync?"

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

Rin Tachibana thought that only her family, plus Hina Aoki, would tolerate her personality like this.

She turned around again.

The fact that she had presumptuously imagined him as an utterly wicked and despicable person in her mind made her feel apologetic.

"Tazaki."

"Ah."

"……sorry."

"what?"

Her voice was too soft for Tazaki Toru to hear clearly.
