Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Tazaki Toru was writing something on the paper with a pen in hand. His calm and composed expression was no different from usual, as if there was nothing in the world that could make him waver.

"Tazaki-kun".

Hina Aoki called his name softly.

"Ok?"

"Tazaki-kun, are you really not interested in that kind of thing at all? That girl is exceptionally beautiful and has a great figure."

"Oh right, he's still young, not even twenty yet."

Tazaki Toru put down the mechanical pencil, his expression softening slightly, and he let out a soft sigh.

"It's not that I don't care at all; I roughly understand what kind of reaction Ms. Tachibana is expecting."

"Therefore, I actually had a slight idea to go against her, and deliberately acted nonchalantly so that she would be disappointed."

Hina Aoki never expected Toru Tazaki to say that; she really thought Toru Tazaki wasn't interested in that kind of thing at all.

If that's the case, it's really not good news for her.

"Tazaki-kun, you can be surprisingly mischievous sometimes."

Tazaki Toru smiled faintly: "After all, I don't want to be teased by Tachibana-san all the time."

Tazaki Toru considers himself an ordinary man, and naturally he has his own preferred type of woman, as well as sexual fetishes that only he knows about.

But he can't show these things to others, let alone female voice actors.

"Well... that's just Rin-chan's personality. She just wants to see Tazaki-kun make a fool of himself, or to tease you a little."

"I understand. Spending time with Ms. Tachibana, I seem to be able to perceive her thoughts and ideas without even realizing it."

Unexpectedly, Miss Aoki pouted slightly because of those words.

"what about me?"

"what?"

"If Tazaki-kun can guess Rin-chan's thoughts, why can't he see through mine?"

"I think Miss Aoki is much more difficult to understand than she is."

"Is she saying she's oblivious, or is I saying I'm incredibly shrewd and worldly-wise?"

"I like all of them, but I don't dislike being with you guys."

Hina Aoki couldn't help but chuckle.

"However, I still haven't been able to fully figure out Tazaki-kun's preferences."

"Let me think... Ah... I've got it."

"What kind of photos would we receive today to pique your interest, Tazaki-kun, or even prompt you to start a conversation with her?"

"For example, instead of a chest, what comes out is a leg, a waist, or a neck."

"I know, Tazaki-kun often sneaks a peek at my feet."

The girl deliberately lifted her leg, shook off her slippers, and her bare toes, like piano hammers being played, bounced up and down very skillfully.

Tazaki Toru did not respond.

"Huh? Why are you so silent? Does that mean you're admitting you have a thing for female voice actresses' feet?"

Tazaki Toru sighed softly, "Miss Aoki, the topic we've been discussing today is unexpectedly radical."

Hina Aoki's behavior was indeed somewhat unlike her usual self; it was hard to describe, as she seemed to have lost her usual composure and ease.

It seems that the fact that Toru Tazaki was being seduced by a female voice actress outside has caused her a considerable sense of crisis.

"Because I want to know more about Tazaki-kun."

He had heard the same thing from another female voice actress.

Could it be that female voice actors are an inherently curious group?

They want to strip him bare and put him in the sunlight for people to admire.

After being stared at by Ms. Aoki for a long time, Toru Tazaki was truly at a loss and admitted, "Of course I also have my type of girl."

"Although I would love to say something nice like 'a girl's beauty should not be determined by her figure and appearance,' it sounds so pretentious and empty, so I don't want to say such things."

"But is appearance really enough to make people overlook the importance of inner qualities? I don't think so, for example, that lead singer just now."

"Just as Ms. Aoki said, she is beautiful, youthful, cute, and also a voice actress."

“When a girl like that comes to me and asks if I like her, I don’t feel happy at all; instead, I feel sorry.”

Incredibly, when this topic came up, Toru Tazaki subconsciously thought of that ordinary girl.

She didn't have the face to become an idol; she was plain-looking, even a bit rustic, didn't know how to dress herself, and wasn't very bright.

On the contrary, she was the one he felt most comfortable with.

Just feeling the comforting, rustic charm emanating from the other person seems enough to make you take a nice afternoon nap.

So, does that mean Tazaki Toru is in love with girls who are plain-looking and unsophisticated?

No.

This is different from "the type of girl I like"; it's simply because the feeling he gets from Mika Kohinata is different from others.

"Tazaki-kun".

"Ok?"

Miss Aoki's eyes narrowed slowly: "I only said she was young, I didn't compliment her on being pretty or cute."

"Uh……"

Okay, this was Toru Tazaki's mistake.

In short, that's the gist of it.

Hina Aoki stared at Toru Tazaki for a long time, then burst out laughing.

"Forget it, I'm not interrogating you about anything. I just want to tell you that there are many people and things in this industry that you can't even imagine. You'd better be careful in the future."

"Have you forgotten some of the staff from the last dinner party?"

"I will never forget it."

"That's it, so I think you might encounter this kind of thing again in the future."

Hina Aoki was not exaggerating; even Toru Tazaki himself thought so, and he rarely showed such a tired expression.

He just wanted to be a ruthless songwriting machine and really didn't want to get involved with female voice actresses.

The girl's beautiful cat-like eyes reflected his troubled expression. She didn't dislike him at all, but seeing his melancholy expression, she couldn't help but find him somewhat adorable.

It seems that just watching him remain sullen might be quite amusing.

However, Hina Aoki still hoped to see his smile more often.

The girl clenched her fists slightly, gripping the fabric of her clothes tightly in her hands.

"How about we come up with a legitimate reason to use as a shield?"

"shield?"

"The reason why Tazaki-kun encounters these things and is troubled by them is, to some extent, because he doesn't have a lover."

"So, the simplest and clearest way is to let people know you have a girlfriend, isn't that enough?"

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru was about to say something when Aoki Hina immediately interrupted him, anticipating his words.

"I understand. Given your personality, you certainly wouldn't want to tell such a lie."

"So, as long as you have a real relationship, all the problems will be solved, right?"

"........."

After talking with Hina Aoki for so long today, Toru Tazaki showed a blank expression for the first time.

He felt that the conversation was being steered in a strange direction by the girl in front of him.

"Completely to my liking, a match made in heaven, not so easy to find."

"Will Tazaki-kun believe that his first love will be a love that lasts until death?"

"I've never fantasized like that."

To be honest, Tazaki Toru wasn't that naive.

"That's right, so you have to meet more people. Who knows, you might meet the girl you're 100% perfect for someday."

So far, Toru Tazaki hasn't been deliberately showing indifference to romance; rather, he genuinely doesn't have the energy to think about such things right now.

Although he may seem like a harmless herbivore, Tazaki Toru is actually the type to take the initiative if he meets a girl he truly likes.

He is anything but harmless, and is far from being described as a herbivore.

Hina Aoki looked up with a cute smile, her eyes darting around.

"Why not start by getting to know the people around you? Understanding the people around you is a very important thing."

"Well, that's true."

"What do you think of Rin-chan, Tazaki-kun? Marrying her is like marrying Fukuzawa Yukichi."

After saying that, Hina Aoki hurriedly waved her hand: "Ah, I was just giving an example, I didn't mean to match you two up, please don't misunderstand, don't feel guilty."

"Putting aside the fact that I won't misunderstand, first of all, I have absolutely no desire to marry Fukuzawa Yukichi."

Hina Aoki was immediately amused and started giggling.

Tazaki Toru couldn't laugh at all, looking at the girl in front of him with a helpless expression.

"Miss Aoki, did you come here today just to tease me? If I have done anything to upset you, please tell me directly."

"Hey~~ Can you really just say it?"

Tazaki Toru nodded firmly.

The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, loosened her grip on the hem of her dress, stood up from the chair, and walked slowly to Toru Tazaki's side.

She slowly lowered her head, her lips brushing against Tazaki Toru's ear.
