Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Miss Aoki realized that perhaps the reason she chose to become good friends with Rin Tachibana was for this very moment.

She watched Tachibana Rin's departing figure with anticipation, as if she were watching the protagonist of her favorite childhood cartoon, who gracefully saves the day when the heroine is in danger.

Rin-chan, so handsome, I love him the most.

Two minutes later.

Rin Tachibana returned dejectedly, carrying five cups of drinks.

Facing Aoki Hina's piercing gaze, Ms. Tachibana pretended not to see it, turned her head away, and whistled.

There was no sound.

"Huh? Are the drinks at this shop so popular? Hmm... I guess I should try them too," Miss Yanggong said curiously.

"Tsk!" Aoki Hina clicked her tongue without making a sound, while Tachibana lowered her head even further.

Seemingly sensing a subtle shift in the atmosphere between Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana, Mika Kohinata composed herself and initiated a conversation, praising Rin Tachibana's handbag.

Tachibana Rin immediately launched into a long list of unfamiliar terms, such as "Milan Fashion Week," "XXX limited edition," and "hard-won," which were terms that Minami Fuso would never have heard before.

Mika Kohinata couldn't understand what the difference was between Don Quijote and Milan.

After Tachibana Rin finished speaking, Kohinata Mika could only smile and squeeze out a sentence like, "Rin-chan knows so much."

After that, he stopped talking, glancing occasionally in the direction where Tazaki Toru was, and silently drinking his beverage through a straw.

……

……

In fact, Toru Tazaki had long ago realized that he seemed to be being spied on by several female voice actresses in turn.

Unfortunately, the current situation was not what he intended, so he found it difficult to get up and greet them.

Moreover, the girls didn't look very friendly when they looked over.

"Hey, Mr. Tazaki, do you have a girlfriend?"

"........."

What kind of girl do you like?

"........."

Would you consider dating a female voice actress?

If given a choice, Toru Tazaki might choose to be a bad guy who deliberately arrives late.

"Mr. Fujita seems a bit slow. I'll go give him a call."

Just as Tazaki Toru was about to get up and leave, the door to the family restaurant was pushed open, and several figures walked in, including Mr. Fujita. Tazaki Toru immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The female voice actress who had previously leaned forward, deliberately emphasizing her body curves, was now sitting upright with a broad smile on her face.

Tazaki Toru was summoned to meet with someone today.

The person who arranged to meet Tazaki Toru was not the lead singer in front of him, but his nominal boss, Mr. Fujita.

As for the reason, it is somewhat related to the lead singer.

The music producer in charge of Morfonica suddenly contacted Fujita to inquire about Tazaki Toru.

At first, Toru Tazaki thought it was just a simple job.

It wasn't until he walked into the store and saw the young girl waving her arms cheerfully at him that Toru Tazaki realized what was happening.

It seems he shouldn't have come today.

128. His response.

Besides Mr. Fujita, Ms. Kondo's manager also arrived late. In addition, there was a middle-aged man who seemed to be a person in charge of Morfonica.

Tazaki Toru initially thought that for a live-action girl band project like theirs, the voices of individual voice actors were insignificant.

It seems that this is not entirely the case now; at least during the conversation, the female agent more or less took over the role of the person in charge and controlled the conversation.

This greatly surprised Tazaki Toru.

As the conversation progressed, Toru Tazaki gradually realized that the cause of this job actually came from the lead singer in front of him.

This made Tazaki Toru sigh inwardly that no matter what industry you're in, you need to have resources to have any credibility.

For an unknown voice actress like Mika Kohinata, just the thought of her accompanying someone on stage would probably bring tears to her eyes, like a dream come true.

In short, today's meeting doesn't mean anything; it just means that the band Morfonica did offer Toru Tazaki a job.

Even if the cause wasn't his talent, but merely the lead singer in front of him, or his appearance.

When it was time to part, the lead singer skipped and hopped up to him, beaming with joy.

"Takasaki-sensei, from now on we'll be discussing business collaborations."

Her smile looked genuinely pure and sincere. Come to think of it, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old. It was hard to imagine that she would be the kind of girl who posted those kinds of photos in private.

Tazaki Toru could only politely reply, "Thank you for your kind consideration."

……

……

Standing alone on the platform, waiting for the tram to arrive.

The phone vibrated, and Tazaki Toru took it out and, as expected, sighed softly.

I quietly went to the vending machine, bought a tea drink, sat on the bench, and waited while drinking.

Not long after, familiar footsteps came from behind.

Without even turning around, just by listening to her footsteps, one could sense her anxiety, urgency, and burning dissatisfaction.

Before the person even arrived, that sharp, familiar clip sound had already entered Tazaki Toru's ears.

"Tasaki! You two-faced bastard, you talk a good game but you really just like big breasts!"

Tazaki Toru felt helpless and slowly twisted the bottle cap off.

Where should I begin?

"Stop pretending. Didn't you just go to meet with so-and-so? Don't try to deny it, we saw it all."

Rin Tachibana came with an air of accusation, and as Toru Tazaki's landlady, she seemed to have quite a few things to deal with.

"I didn't try to deny it; I did go to see them."

Rin Tachibana's eyebrows furrowed together, and if it weren't for the fact that this was a public place, her voice would have been an octave higher.

"Rin-chan, don't be like that. Tazaki-kun must have his reasons. We should trust him more."

Rin Tachibana suddenly wore an expression of disbelief.

No, sis, you weren't this understanding just now.

Hina Aoki approached Toru Tazaki with an apologetic smile, saying that they had just happened to be there and were definitely not following him.

Tazaki Toru, of course, understood and smiled to indicate that he would not have such a misunderstanding.

The way the two looked at each other and smiled was so tender that Tachibana Rin felt like an outsider, an inexplicable awkwardness.

She angrily tossed her bag to Toru Tazaki, who was already used to this. They stood side by side, waiting for the train to arrive at the station.

Not far away, a young girl who had just come through the ticket gate spotted Tazaki Toru's figure from afar.

Just as I was about to step forward, I noticed that he was carrying a limited edition women's handbag from a fashion club in Milan, or something like that.

Then, I saw Tachibana Rin's pretty face, full of anger and coquettishness, looking like she was about to vent her resentment.

To onlookers, they would only look like a handsome young couple flirting and being affectionate.

This caused Mika Kohinata to suddenly stop in her tracks, somewhat at a loss, and clutch the shoulder strap of her handbag tightly.

He felt as if the place where she was standing was as far away from him as the distance between Don Quijote and Milan Fashion Week.

……

……

Once home, before Tazaki Toru could even catch his breath, Tachibana Rin's voice finally rose an octave, as she kept asking what had happened.

Curiosity is one part, and competitiveness is another.

Anyway, no matter how Ms. Tachibana looks at it now, she just can't stand that female voice actress who is younger and has bigger breasts than her.

They're the type who would eat a few bites of delicious food and then leave it aside, only to kindly give it to others.

In comparison, her teammates were obviously much cuter.

Helpless, Toru Tazaki had no choice but to tell them the truth, explaining that their meeting today was entirely for Morfonica's work.

To everyone's surprise, when Miss Tachibana heard this, her eyes widened immediately, which was quite frightening.

"You're going to write songs for another female voice actress?!"

Although this statement may sound somewhat ambiguous, it is not wrong.

"It's for Morfonica."

"Oh, I see. You've got your eye on the violin. You've been wanting to write violin melodies for a long time. Don't think I don't know."

Rin Tachibana had an expression that said, "I've discovered a secret."

Tazaki Toru didn't hide anything and nodded in admission: "If I have the opportunity, I would naturally like to write it."

He then changed the subject: "But I plan to decline this job offer."

"Eh?"

Both female voice actresses showed expressions of surprise at the same time.

"Isn't this a job that came to us on its own initiative? And it's even an internal project of Bushido. If it's because of what Rin-chan said, you don't need to take it to heart."

Rin Tachibana pursed her lips and fell silent. At most, she was just putting on a show. If it really concerned Toru Tazaki's work and career, her little schemes would seem rather annoying.

Tazaki Toru shook his head and said, "This was something I had planned before I went home."

"But why?"
