Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

This action inevitably reminded Tazaki Toru of the feeling of the girl putting his ear in her mouth that night.

He instinctively gasped for breath.

Hina Aoki inhaled slightly and exhaled a light breath.

"I'm jealous."

125. Miss Aoki's Secret.

Inside the music room.

Hina Aoki's voice, soft and moist, entered Toru Tazaki's ears.

"Lamb sauce".

When he heard the name from Hina Aoki, he couldn't help but show a slight look of surprise.

Hina Aoki puffed out her cheeks slightly, making her already round face even cuter. Some kind of emotion seemed to be flowing back and forth in her bright eyes, as if it wanted to burst out and pour all of it onto Toru Tazaki.

But Aoki Hina was ultimately a girl who could control her emotions. She knew perfectly well which steps would be considered troublesome and which steps were permissible.

She pouted, turned around, leaving Tazaki Toru with her petite back view, her fingers intertwined behind her back, which Tazaki Toru could see clearly.

"Lately, Tazaki-kun's mind has been entirely on that child."

"I know, you went to hear her sing specifically before, and you even went out of your way to give her guidance, right?"

Hina Aoki turned around again, her face showing no anger or dissatisfaction, only a slight, almost coquettish, complaint.

"Tazaki-kun, do you still remember what you promised me in the beginning?"

“You have a hungry baby at home, crying for food, but you're out there flirting with other girls, completely ignoring me and leaving me to watch you all longingly.”

Even when you get home, it's as if you don't see me at all. Aren't you listening to her singing a thousand times over right now?

"If this continues, I'm afraid the little lamb's song will linger in your head before you fall asleep, when you wake up, and even in your dreams."

"I finally managed to get rid of Rin-chan and earn time for you to teach me, but you didn't even glance at me, completely absorbed in her singing."

"How can I not be jealous when you act like this?"

The way Ms. Aoki was acting, even though she was talking about music, made Toru Tazaki feel as if he were seeing a girl who was jumping for joy and acting cute because she was in love.

There was not a trace of anger or resentment on her beautiful face.

It seems she wasn't necessarily trying to possess anything; she was simply trying to assert her presence as a beautiful young woman, hoping to attract someone's attention and make it difficult for them to look away from her for a long time.

At this moment, Tazaki Toru was indeed unable to take his eyes off her, captivated by the "calm complaint" she revealed.

Instead of finding it troublesome, I admired her ability to vent her resentment so thoroughly without offending anyone.

This is perhaps the most distinctive characteristic of Hina Aoki as a girl.

No one can do what she does: so composed and relaxed, yet playful and adorable, perfectly controlling the social distance with others, moving back and forth on the edge of the world, testing the waters.

Over time, they developed the ability to easily enter and leave other people's worlds.

Undoubtedly, she was standing at the entrance to Tazaki Toru's world, knocking on the door to attract Tazaki Toru's attention before nimbly disappearing into the bushes, repeating this process over and over.

In the end, you will be able to come and go freely and easily.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to abandon you."

"Huh? Is that what it means to hold me in your arms, lift up your clothes, and breastfeed me?"

The girl immediately beamed and opened her arms to Tazaki Toru, as if she would jump into his arms without hesitation after he nodded.

"A 'starving' baby really means that kind of 'starving' baby?!"

Tazaki Toru's reaction was so funny that she laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

After a long pause, Tazaki Toru looked at the petite and charming Aoki Hina in front of him, her eyes full of smiles, and sighed softly:

“Miss Aoki, it’s best for a girl not to say things that are easy to misunderstand. If it were someone else instead of me, they would probably be distracted by now and would definitely be having dreams about you tonight.”

"Honestly, I only say things like that to Tazaki-kun. Don't think of me as the kind of girl who can just send photos to strange men. I'll get really angry."

"Um... I'm sorry."

She put her hands on her hips, pretending to be angry, which prompted Tazaki Toru to give a proper apology.

To be honest, Tazaki Toru's mood at this moment was surprisingly not bad.

To receive such words from a girl like Hina Aoki at least shows that you are someone she can trust.

This perfectly aligns with Tazaki Toru's way of treating people so far; being trusted is always more pleasant than being despised.

That alone was enough to make Toru Tazaki feel relaxed.

"I'm so sorry, it's my fault for not noticing Ms. Aoki's emotions. I will adjust myself immediately."

"Then you can teach me every night from now on?"

“I’m afraid it’s going to happen every night…” Tazaki Toru hesitated.

"I was just kidding, I would never do that to you."

Tazaki Toru breathed a sigh of relief.

After venting her emotions, Aoki Hina finally showed a refreshed expression, moved a chair over, and sat down next to Tazaki Toru.

With her back against Toru Tazaki's shoulder, she leisurely swung her legs, which had kicked off their slippers, tilted her head back slightly, stared straight at the ceiling, and slowly closed her eyes.

By now, Tazaki Toru seems to have unconsciously become desensitized to her unrestrained physical contact, and has taken it for granted, believing it to be a sign that Miss Aoki trusts him.

“Hey, Tazaki-kun.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, sweet and pleasant, and just listening to it made people feel comfortable.

"I'm sorry."

Are we taking turns apologizing tonight?

"Hahaha..." she laughed again.

"I'm so sorry for contacting Ms. Kondo without your permission and for trying to keep it from you."

"I see."

"And you understand?"

"Ms. Aoki is an upright person and can't bear to see her friends suffer like this. She was worried that I might not handle it well and end up losing my job for nothing, so she did this."

"Are you trying to make amends for me?"

"I'm just telling the truth. That's the image you project to me. Even if I'm wrong, it's because that's the image you've projected before. I was fooled long ago."

Hina Aoki remained silent for a moment.

"Thank you……"

"Furthermore, I understand that Ms. Aoki's personality, which is so focused on music, might harbor resentment towards female voice actors who only think about romance."

"Since you know so much, why have you let me go for so long without taking care of me? Could it be that you've been waiting for this moment?"

"Only when I can no longer bear it and cry in front of you with tears in my eyes will you pretend to be generous and give me alms, as if your wicked scheme has succeeded."

"Or is it that Tazaki-kun wanted to see me acting all sulky from the very beginning?"

"If that's the case, then I can forgive you."

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by his question: "Why is that?"

The indoor lighting made her feel particularly comfortable, and the air conditioning's cool air seemed to brush against her without making her feel cold; instead, it added to her weariness.

Hina Aoki shifted her head slightly on Toru Tazaki's shoulder, closed her eyes, and shifted to a more comfortable position.

"……secret."

126. A five-person adultery-catching team, roughly?

As August begins, temperatures in Tokyo continue to rise.

Inside the recording studio, the cool air emanating from the central air conditioning unit was very refreshing. Tachibana Rin leaned against the corner of the wall, staring blankly at the ceiling, her mind undergoing the most agonizing interrogation she had ever experienced.

How could it have missed with that shot last night?

Today is the day the MyGO band members practice together.

Since the bassist joined, the band has indeed improved a lot after a period of adjustment. Although they are still far from being a professional band, this small progress is a significant encouragement for the band.

After practice, the members immediately agreed to go to a nearby family restaurant for ice cream.

Although it sounds like a strong sense of team spirit, the most important reason is that the weather is just too hot, and we need to eat something icy to cool off.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"Everyone has worked hard."

After saying goodbye to the staff, the young female voice actresses entered the elevator together.

"Speaking of which, I just saw Mr. Tazaki in the sound room," said Kobayashi Koko, the drummer, casually starting the conversation.

It's no secret that Toru Tazaki is now the composer for the band MyGO.

This includes the vocal coach who gave Hina Hiyomi a singing training session. After mistakenly identifying Toru Tazaki as Hina Hiyomi's lover, he eventually figured out Toru's identity and apologized to both of them repeatedly with trepidation.

In short, no strange rumors have arisen as a result, so the outcome is still considered good.

Thanks to this, Toru Tazaki also realized what kind of existence the female voice actresses in the live band project were.

In the future, when dealing with them in public, I really need to be more careful with my words and actions.

"Tazaki-sensei? Could it be that you've brought a new song?" The lead singer's round face showed a hint of anticipation.

"Little Lamb, you've been getting a lot of compliments lately for your progress."

Mika Kohinata was genuinely happy for Hinami Hitomi and was thinking about how to manage the band well.

"Hehe~~~ Because I practiced a lot." Yang Gongfei scratched the back of her head and smiled in a particularly honest way.

"You're pushing yourself too hard," Rin Tachibana said.

Hina Aoki glanced at her and said helplessly, "You'd better give it your all."
