Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

She was also thinking that if Tazaki Toru didn't have any plans for New Year's Day, she would come to Tokyo as soon as possible after the New Year.

"That's good. I was really worried that Tazaki-kun would be too lonely staying at home alone. Ah!"

"If I want to invite friends over for a party, I think it should be fine. I just need to let Rin-chan know."

"Thank you. To be honest, before, Kohinata..."

Buzz—Buzz—

Tazaki gave a slightly apologetic look.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

"Okay, sure."

Hina Aoki said with a smile.

After Tazaki Toru left the music room, Aoki Hina let out a breath, then felt a little regretful, wondering if her deliberate act of standing tall and proud had been too obvious.

However, he seemed completely unaware.

Could it be that he really has no interest in girls' bodies?

It's okay, it's okay. As long as we win him over by Christmas, everything will be clear.

There were no troublemakers at Christmas, and Toru Tazaki didn't receive a Christmas invitation.

Everything was going according to her plan.

Thinking of this, Hina Aoki couldn't help but grin sheepishly.

Outside the music room.

Tazaki Toru stood in the corridor and answered the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Tazaki?" A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, Ms. Sasaki, it's quite rare for you to call me."

"Well, because I feel... I have to tell you in person."

The girl on the other end of the phone had a slightly trembling voice.

Tazaki Toru realized something and quietly waited for her to calm down.

"Um, Mr. Tazaki, I..."

"I……"

The girl's voice was slightly hesitant, revealing an incredulous tone.

This soft, weak voice makes it hard to connect her now with the spirited, dazzling girl she once was.

"Yes, I'm listening," Tazaki Toru said softly.

"I……

"I've been selected."

"Really, thank you so much."

225. 11th female voice actress. (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month)

After months of auditions, Ave Mujica, another band in the BanG Dream! project led by Toru Tazaki, was selected as the highly anticipated "galactic battleship".

Finally, the last piece of the puzzle was complete, and the band's lead singer was revealed.

From the very beginning, Toru Tazaki believed that Riko Sasaki was undoubtedly the most suitable person for the position.

That's why he spared no effort in writing that song for her.

Riko Sasaki lived up to expectations, and after many hardships, she finally won the role of "Hatsuka Triangle".

In Tazaki Toru's view, Sasaki Riko already possessed all the qualities to shine, she just lacked a stage for people to see her.

The industry they are in involves far more than just one Sasaki Riko.

Unbeknownst to Toru Tazaki, there must be countless girls like her, possessing talent but lacking opportunity, whose dreams are shattered in the dead of night.

Tazaki Toru is not a god and cannot save everyone.

But at least, he felt genuinely fortunate.

On countless nights, I chose to go see her roadshow.

I chose Riko Sasaki.

She stood in the cold wind, stretching out her hands, which were dry and rough like an old woman's, and handed out her flyers to the people around her.

A girl like this deserves a better stage.

"Congratulations, Ms. Sasaki."

"...Yes, really, thank you so much."

Toru Tazaki simply wanted to find a lead singer for Ave Mujica who perfectly matched his vision.

However, Sasaki Riko felt that she had unilaterally received the favor from Tazaki Toru.

All she could do was to sing his songs with all her might in the band she was about to join.

After hanging up the phone, Tazaki Toru was about to return to the music room when the bedroom door diagonally opposite him suddenly opened.

Rin Tachibana emerged from inside, her hair a mess, yawning and looking utterly displeased.

Seeing Tazaki Toru standing in the corridor, Tachibana Rin was clearly taken aback, and her brows immediately furrowed.

"What are you doing standing here?"

"Just finished making a phone call."

Rin Tachibana clicked her tongue: "Which female voice actress is he flirting with this time?"

Tazaki Toru was completely unfazed by the sarcasm in her words: "I just said some congratulatory words for passing the audition."

"She really is a female voice actress."

Rin Tachibana's expression was subtle.

"By the way, I heard from Aoki that Tachibana is going back to Osaka before Christmas."

Rin Tachibana thought to herself, "Can I not reply?"

I'm doing this to create opportunities for you guys.

"What? You're reluctant to part with me?"

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and said, "There will be some, otherwise the house will feel lonely."

Hearing Tazaki Toru say that, Ms. Tachibana felt a strange warmth rise in her heart.

Miss Karitaka is indeed a troublesome girl. Looking at Tazaki Toru's handsome and gentle face, she pouted and said:

"You two are like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Without me, it won't be quiet at all; it'll probably be too hot to bear."

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by what he heard, and looked puzzled.

Tachibana Rin panicked slightly, then immediately showed an impatient expression, waving her hand and saying:

"Alright, alright, that's enough. I'm hungry, I'm going downstairs to eat." Tachibana Rin waved her hand.

Tazaki Toru felt helpless, thinking that Tachibana Rin was saying some strange and awkward things again.

After returning to the music room.

Hina Aoki sat there with a perfect smile on her face, a smile as flawless and sweet as ever.

"Tasaki-kun, you're back."

Tazaki Toru recalled what Tachibana Rin had just said and looked at Aoki Hina's beautiful eyes, which seemed to be soaked in honey.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

……

……

12 month 18 number.

Tazaki Toru arrived at the recording studio.

The members of Mujica have already assembled in the recording studio.

Today was their first rehearsal as a group of five, and also their last practice session together this year.

Mujica's overall progress is slightly behind MyGO, but the members' skills and teamwork make up for this.

Thanks to Mr. Fujita's assistance in negotiating within the project team, the song that Toru Tazaki wrote for Riko Sasaki was successfully selected and became an official track for Ave Mujica.

Tazaki Toru also fulfilled his promise to Sasaki and handed over the naming rights to Sasaki Riko.

"Black Birthday" became the song title.

The project team seems to believe that this song better highlights the uniqueness of the band Ave Mujica, and plans to use this song as the core for future band practice and recording.

Sasaki Riko was clearly the one who was most delighted by this.

While some rejoice, others grieve.

When Ms. Yonezawa, the drummer, received the sheet music for "Black Birthday," her entire expression changed.

She even started to fantasize about whether she had offended that Ms. Tazaki at some point, and why she was always trying to make things difficult for her.

Wasn't the core of Ave Mujica supposed to be the keyboard?

How many keyboard notes are there in your song "Black Birthday"?

Of course, she could only think these things in her heart. Even if she felt some resentment, she could only obediently knock on the door.

It's just drumming, I'll just drum for you to see.

Now, all members of Mujica have been assembled.

The first group practice session showed amazing results.

With the instrument group already well-matched and Ms. Sasaki's singing voice, even by Tazaki Toru's strict standards, this galactic battleship can be considered to be taking shape.
