Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Okay, okay, I didn't come back to hear your apology."

Resting her head on Tachibana Rin's shoulder, Aoki Hina slowly closed her eyes, the voices of Tazaki Toru and Kohinata Mika flashing through her mind.

"Rin-chan..."

"Ok?"

"Liking someone is so tiring."

This time, Hina Aoki made no attempt to hide anything.

Looking back, this may have been the first time that Hina Aoki had openly and unabashedly expressed her feelings for him.

"So, is Japanese cuisine going to give up?"

"If you feel tired of studying, just give up."

"I felt tired from practicing, so I gave up."

"Even liking someone can be tiring. Is Hina trying to become that kind of girl?"

Hina Aoki's lips moved slightly: "I...don't know."

The atmosphere in the bedroom was somewhat somber, with the two young female voice actresses huddled close together.

Suddenly, Hina Aoki spoke softly:

"Unless he tells me in person that he doesn't think I'm his type, or simply tells me that he prefers Mika-chan, that would probably be more satisfying."

"Then I... well, I'll just have to give up."

This incident had a profound impact on Hina Aoki, to the point that she lost her former high spirits.

The soft whispers at this moment sound like a deliberate attempt to appear delicate and vulnerable, in order to arouse a man's protective instincts.

They'll soon be sitting at the same table as their lead singer.

Rin Tachibana frowned: "I can't stand you like this. When did Haruna Oshima become such an indecisive woman?"

"Since that's the case, let's just go and find out!"

"No, please! I don't want to cause trouble for Tazaki-kun!" Hina Aoki quickly stopped her.

Even now, Hina Aoki still cherishes the impression she left on Toru Tazaki.

Being rejected is one thing, being disliked is another.

Besides, she hadn't been rejected by Tazaki Toru to his face yet, and she still harbored a sliver of unrealistic fantasy.

It's hard not to wonder how far things have progressed between Toru Tazaki and Mika Kohinata.

Rin Tachibana pouted and said:

"Who said I was going to ask him?"

"Eh?"

Rin Tachibana took out her phone, and Hina Aoki looked at her nervously as she dialed a number.

When Aoki Hina saw the note on her phone, she was clearly stunned.

The call was answered shortly afterward.

"Hey, Mika-chan? Merry Christmas."

"There is something I'd like to trouble you with."

Rin Tachibana glanced at Hina Aoki beside her. Hina's fingers were intertwined and twisted back and forth, clearly extremely nervous.

Rin Tachibana sighed inwardly.

She's simply not the type to do that kind of thing.

Although she is a source of trouble, Tachibana Rin herself is quite averse to trouble from the outside world.

If this happened to her, Tachibana Rin might choose to remain silent, cut ties decisively, and continue being a carefree and easygoing girl.

However, for some reason, it was for Hina Aoki, for her most important friend.

Rin Tachibana seems capable of doing that.

"Actually... I had a minor disagreement with my family, and I'm back in Tokyo now, planning to find a place to relax."

"I heard that Meijia's hometown is a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."

"So I thought, if it's convenient for you, Mika-chan, would you be willing..."

"Will you be our guide?"

237. I can never repay Rin-nee's kindness. (Two-in-one)

Inside the bedroom, Mika Kohinata is packing her luggage for going home.

The phone that was lying to the side suddenly rang. When she saw the name displayed on the screen, she tilted her head in confusion.

It was Tachibana Rin calling.

"Hey, Rin-chan?"

It has been almost half a year since I joined the band MyGO.

Aside from the three weekly band practices, the MyGO band members don't have much time to spend together privately.

Aside from chatting briefly in the band's group chat every day, we don't really have much interaction.

The lead vocalist, Hina Hiyomiya, and the drummer, Koko Kobayashi, both have other voice acting jobs, which are completely different from her low-level voice acting work at a low-level agency.

Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin are from the same agency and are classmates, their schedules are almost always linked, and they occasionally appear on radio programs hosted by senior voice actors in the agency.

In contrast, Mika Kohinata only participated in band practice and continued to play minor roles in unknown stage plays.

Aside from that, he does part-time jobs that are completely unrelated to voice acting.

Therefore, although they belonged to the same band, Mika Kohinata always felt that there was an insurmountable gap between her and them.

This gap between reality and mindset cannot be bridged in a short period of time.

And it is precisely because of these kinds of reasons that this band has almost no interaction with each other except for practicing.

The yuri (lesbian) scenes that Mika Kohinata had imagined when she first joined the project were somewhat different from what she envisioned.

The real-life girl band is completely different from the one depicted in the anime.

However, the band is still in its early stages, and the other members also have their own jobs, which is understandable to Mika Kohinata.

This made Mika Kohinata very happy to receive a call from Rin Tachibana.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tachibana Rin explained the purpose of her call.

"If it's convenient for you, Mika-chan, would you be willing to be our guide?"

"Eh?"

Little Hinata Mika was stunned.

Rin Tachibana's words were completely unexpected.

If it weren't for the prior arrangement with Tazaki Toru, Kohinata Mika would have been overjoyed to hear Tachibana Rin's words.

After all, this is a great opportunity to deepen the connection with the band members.

She wants to make MyGO better, and through this hard-won band, she hopes to achieve her dreams.

And, to fulfill the promise I made to him.

For Mika Kohinata, the MyGO project might be the only opportunity she could have in her life.

If she can't grasp this straw and continues to remain unknown, she will inevitably end up going back to the countryside to become a witch.

Thinking back to how not long ago she had mistakenly thought that Tachibana Rin and Tazaki Toru were dating, Kohinata Mika blushed quite a bit.

I seem to always have these kinds of wild thoughts.

Mika Kohinata, who is simple-minded and not good at thinking outside the box, felt completely at a loss and stammered for a long time.

"Hmm... okay, okay."

"Really? Then it's settled."

"……Uh-huh."

Since it happened so suddenly, Mika Kohinata barely had time to think it through and agreed without really thinking it through.

After hanging up the phone, she stood there stunned for a while before finally coming to her senses.

The girl collapsed onto the floor, utterly dejected, muttering to herself.

"I'm such an idiot."

……

……

After the call ended, Tachibana Rin breathed a sigh of relief and gave Aoki Hina an "OK" sign.

"Is your sister Rin really a genius?"

Hina Aoki was completely dumbfounded.

When did she become so quick-witted?

Where did you hide my best friend? Are you still Kubo Akira?

"Oh, I really envy you for having such a smart, beautiful best friend like me."

"Hey Yang, you've really dragged me into this mess. We've ended up going to some rural area for no reason."

"I still don't know how to explain this to my parents. It's giving me a headache."

"The two of us?"

"The two of us."

"Me too?"

Rin Tachibana couldn't help but roll her eyes: "If you don't go, what's the point of me doing all this?"
