Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Rin Tachibana was a little touched. Although her older sister was usually a bit frivolous, she showed great responsibility as the eldest daughter when it mattered.

"Be careful, don't get pregnant."

"........."

You can't reason with a woman whose mind is full of nothing but lewd thoughts.

……

……

After Tazaki Toru came out of the shower, Aoki Hina had already disappeared from the living room.

Seeing his phone on the dining table, Toru Tazaki casually put it back in his pocket.

He was slightly surprised to find the music room on the second floor empty.

Hina Aoki is currently on vacation.

I thought that, given Aoki Hina's personality, she would spend all her time in the music room studying composition.

As usual, Toru Tazaki sat down at his keyboard and began his work for the day.

For Toru Tazaki, a freelance musician, there is no concept of a holiday. Since he still has work to finish, it is no different from a workday to him.

Besides, I'm going to the South House in a few days, so it's best to finish the work at hand first.

Meanwhile, in a bedroom on the second floor.

Hina Aoki lay slumped on the bed, covering herself completely with the thick blankets, leaving no gaps.

She was afraid that the negative energy she couldn't suppress would slip away quietly through the cracks and be noticed by him.

The gap between fantasy and reality was something that Hina Aoki couldn't let go of.

Now, let alone her relationship with Toru Tazaki, it has gone even further.

Even the confidence he once had to have a normal conversation with Toru Tazaki has vanished without a trace.

If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before Tazaki Toru notices her strangeness.

If I had known it would be this painful, I shouldn't have let him move in in the first place.

What kind of stunningly beautiful girl is she? She can't even beat a rural witch from the countryside.

How funny!

Thinking of this, tears almost soaked her pillow. Aoki Hina felt weak all over and couldn't muster any energy.

My body, exhausted from not sleeping all night, could barely stay upright. A gap appeared in the blanket, letting in the bitter air, and I finally fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how much time passed.

dong dong dong-

The sudden knocking woke Aoki Hina from her dream, as golden sunlight streamed through the window.

dong dong dong-

Hina Aoki sat up groggily. When she slowly came to her senses and heard a knock on the door, she was fully awakened, followed by a heart-pounding fright.

Besides her, the only other person in the house was Tazaki Toru.

What is Tazaki-kun going to say?

Are you getting ready to head to Meijia's hometown? Is this a farewell to yourself?

In his mind, he saw a scene of Tazaki Toru holding Kohinata Mika's waist, kissing her sweetly in front of her, and then leaving in each other's arms.

Pick up the small mirror by the bedside. The girl reflected in the mirror has slightly red and swollen eyes from crying.

Hina Aoki panicked immediately.

"Wait, wait a minute, Tazaki-kun! I'm not wearing any clothes!"

In her panic, Aoki Hina blurted out lies.

The bedroom door was pushed open at that moment, and Aoki Hina stood there dumbfounded.

No, I already said I wasn't wearing any clothes, so why did you still push the door open and come in?

Could it be...?

Is there a chance?!

however.

The man I expected did not appear.

"Rin...Rin-chan? Huh?...Why?"

"What? Aren't you wearing clothes?"

Hina Aoki was completely bewildered, unable to grasp the current situation at all, and even wondered if she might still be dreaming.

Rin Tachibana tossed her suitcase into the hallway and walked into Hina Aoki's bedroom, making sure to close the door behind her.

He went to the bedside and stared at Aoki Hina, who looked completely bewildered, for a long time. The once confident girl now looked as fragile as a rabbit with its ears tugged.

Rin Tachibana couldn't help but sigh softly, "Haruna Oshima, you look so disheveled."

Hina Aoki did not respond, and continued to stare blankly at Rin Tachibana.

Sitting down next to Hina Aoki, Rin Tachibana gently embraced her, patting her delicate back softly as if lulling a child to sleep.

"Okay, okay, sweetie, what's there to cry about over a man?"

"I didn't cry."

"She hasn't even cried yet, but her eyes are already swollen like Ms. Takao from the band next door."

"Rin-chan, that's really mean."

Aoki Hina was suddenly amused, but when she thought of what happened yesterday, the corners of her mouth, which had just begun to turn up, helplessly drooped back down.

At this moment, Aoki Hina had completely lost her former demeanor. It was as if she had shed all her armor, revealing her most delicate flesh, and anyone could stab her.

Rin Tachibana reached out and touched Hina Aoki's face; her smooth skin still bore traces of tears.

Despite Tachibana Rin's appearance, she felt uneasy when she saw Aoki Hina's state.

Indeed, once you develop a liking for something, that thing becomes your weakness.

This is especially true for people.

A perfectly fine girl has ended up like this.

Tazaki Toru, you really are... sigh.

I'm not going to say anything more, I'm afraid of a boomerang.

Rin Tachibana held the water glass to Hina Aoki's lips, and she took two or three small sips.

"Now, can you speak properly?"

"Yes, thank you, I feel much better."

Aoki Hina's vulnerability stems largely from her feeling of isolation and helplessness.

Rin Tachibana's sudden appearance filled the void in her anxiety.

This allowed Hina Aoki to finally think normally, instead of remaining motionless like a android without energy, as before.

Now, their roles seem to have been reversed.

At this critical moment, it was Tachibana Rin who stepped forward and offered words of comfort.

"Rin-chan, didn't you go back to Osaka?"

"It's because of that phone call you made this morning. I was really worried about you, and I was afraid that being dumped by a man would upset you and make you do something rash."

"I wasn't dumped."

"I understand, we lost before we even got on the field."

"........."

Miss Tachibana is still Miss Tachibana; her mouth hasn't changed at all.

But Aoki Hina didn't blame her at all.

She knew better than anyone else that this was Tachibana Rin's personality, her unique way of being gentle.

“Similar things seem to have happened before,” Tachibana Rin suddenly said.

"Huh?" Hina Aoki was slightly taken aback.

"You forgot? When Yang-chan was chosen as the lead singer of MyGO, weren't you just as upset as you are now?"

Aoki Hina showed a slight look of realization, which quickly turned into a bitter smile.

If that's the case, it seems she really hasn't won even once.

Whether it's a song or a person.

"Thank you, Rin-chan."

“Every time I feel frustrated, you are there for me.”

"Oh! So you've finally realized how important I am?"

"I've always considered Rin-chan my best friend."

"Then why did you kick me out at Christmas?"

"I didn't kick you out; you wanted to go back on your own."

"No, sis, you've already hinted at it so much. If I don't go home, wouldn't I be considered clueless? You might even blame me later."

Hina Aoki opened her mouth, but when she met Rin Tachibana's beautiful, large eyes, her voice faltered.

Perhaps it's true, as she said, that such a thought does exist in my mind.

In fact, after Tachibana Rin left, Aoki Hina did feel relieved about her departure at certain times.

This gave him and Toru Tazaki more time to be alone together.

Hina Aoki lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry."
