Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Tazaki-san, you just can't handle this kind of thing."

"Which place?"

“Where there is a need, there is a lack of perseverance.”

This was the first time in his entire life, both in his past and present lives, that a girl had ever said this to his face:

You don't last.

She raised her index finger and shook it back and forth for no apparent reason: "Tazaki-san, I know you don't want to cause me trouble, but you probably can't tell, I love meddling in other people's troubles."

“No, I can see that,” Tazaki Toru said, waving his hand.

Mika Takagi blushed slightly and coughed lightly: "Anyway, what I want to say is that since I've taken care of this troublesome person, I definitely won't just throw you away."

They actually said "throw it away," am I a cat?

"Tazaki-san, do you know what I hate most?"

"I'll cook it myself," Tazaki Toru answered quickly.

Her deliberately stern face flushed red again.

"It's a case of giving up halfway!"

Ah, that certainly sounds like something she would say.

"I've already done so much. If I let you go out and suffer in the wind and rain now, wouldn't all my previous efforts have been in vain?"

"Let me think about how to give an example, um... how about this?"

"It's like that night I gave you CPR, but when you woke up, instead of being grateful, you even wanted to 'take me with you'."

"Yes! That's exactly it. Tell me, how can I not be sad?"

Isn't this analogy a bit...?

Tazaki Toru was about to speak when he realized he didn't know what to say.

What surprised him even more was that Mika Takagi didn't seem to be as... well... as he had imagined.

In short, Takagi Mika's quick wit at this moment took Tazaki Toru by surprise.

"Admittedly, I was extremely embarrassed by what just happened. After all, I am a girl too, so I hope that Tazaki-san will be more careful in the future."

"Yes, I'm very sorry."

I apologized instinctively.

Seeing how honest Tazaki Toru was, a smile finally appeared on the girl's face.

"Then, let's make up."

Faced with her smiling face, Toru Tazaki could no longer utter a word of rebuttal.

Huh?

But wouldn't that make it seem like he's being manipulated by the female voice actress?

……

……

The next day, afternoon.

Tazaki Toru was sitting in the lounge, lost in thought, arms crossed, staring blankly at the patterns on the ceiling.

The computer screen was stuck on the music composition page, but he couldn't play a single note.

With the deadline for the Sky Cup approaching, Toru Tazaki still hadn't written a decent melody.

Bang!

The door to the lounge was opened.

"Tazaki-kun, I heard..."

"How come you heard that again?" Tazaki interrupted her.

Hina Aoki walked towards Toru Tazaki, bent down, and turned her head to the side, seemingly showing off her almost perfect and beautiful profile.

She tossed her long, black hair aside, revealing a delicate little ear with a cute earring hanging from its earlobe.

It's like a wind chime hanging from the eaves of a tavern, making you want to reach out and touch it.

"What do you mean?" Tazaki Toru asked, puzzled.

"Look, everyone says I have a cat-like face, so naturally I also have a pair of cat ears. Whether you want to hear something or not, everything has to come to my ears to report."

"So, it's inevitable that I know a little about Tazaki-kun."

Does she really think this kind of excuse will work?

Tazaki Toru sighed helplessly, "Fine."

Hina Aoki immediately beamed with a victorious smile: "Then I'll continue."

"I heard you're looking for a place to live."

"........."

She straightened up, clapped her hands in a deliberately cute manner, and her bright, beautiful eyes sparkled with a certain lively brilliance.

"I might be able to help you!"

22. Is Ms. Aoki a carnivore? (Please continue reading)

The Aoki Hina standing before me still wore that polite and gentle smile, the corners of her mouth curving upwards just right. She must know her face very well, knowing exactly what expressions best bring out her liveliness and cuteness.

Despite her beautiful face, which was so meticulously calculated, Toru Tazaki remained completely unmoved.

"Coincidentally, a house belonging to an acquaintance of mine is available for rent."

Hina Aoki said.

"May I ask what kind of house it is, what the rent is, and what the requirements are for moving in, such as the initial payment?"

"Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not exactly flush with cash."

Tazaki Toru has been searching for a long time, but finding a suitable house in Tokyo is also a headache due to the cost.

Besides the rent, the initial payment required includes several fees such as key money, deposit, fire insurance, guarantee company fees, and agency fees.

“A detached house, two stories, about a 5-minute walk to the station, no dowry or cash.”

Tazaki Toru was taken aback at first, then shook his head and sighed, "Miss Aoki, these days even real estate agents don't use such suspicious slogans anymore."

"That's why you said it was an acquaintance, isn't it?"

"What about the rent?"

"30 yen."

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru silently turned around and began operating the computer, repeatedly refreshing the desktop.

"what?"

"Miss Aoki, do you know how much my hourly wage is?"

"Not 1580 yen?"

To be honest, she has a really good memory.

Tazaki Toru sighed, "Then how am I supposed to afford this rent with an hourly wage of 1580 yen?"

"What? So Tazaki-kun is troubled by money?"

"Miss Aoki, there aren't many people in the world who never worry about money."

She was taken aback for a moment, then nodded very seriously: "Hmm, I appreciate your guidance."

"Then let me ask one more question, how much rent are you planning to pay, Tazaki-kun?"

"If no monetary gift is required, it would be around 6 yen."

Tazaki Toru doesn't need a big house; a small single room where he can sleep is enough to meet his needs.

"Deal, I'll rent it to you for 6 yen."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared above Tazaki Toru's head.

Aoki Hina coughed and said, "Let me teach you a lesson, Tazaki-kun: actually, you can make money with your face."

face……

Admittedly, Toru Tazaki is a handsome man, and he is approached by countless girls on the street, with many talent scouts handing him their business cards.

He has also encountered women who are slightly fanatical and give him a beastly look.

Aoki Hina's intention seems to be that he should use his face to make money, sell his body, in order to obtain a place to live.

Tazaki Toru would rather live off Takagi Mika's money.

"Miss Aoki, is this how you see me? I'm a little disappointed." Tazaki Toru sighed, his gaze towards Aoki Hina gradually becoming subtle.

Who would have thought that beneath her pure and beautiful face lay a carnivore?

"Huh? This is a little different from what I expected."

Tazaki Toru didn't speak, he just kept sighing.

She leaned closer: "Tasaki-kun, take a good look at my face."

Tazaki Toru stared at Aoki Hina for a long time.

Cute and pretty.

There's nothing wrong with it.

His pupils were clear and bright, and his straight nose resembled a carrot stuck in the face of a snowman seen through the window of a train in Sapporo on a winter's day.

But its true nature is that of a carnivore.

“It’s very clean, there’s nothing dirty,” Toru Tazaki said.
