Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

When he looked at Tachibana Rin again, she inexplicably glared back at him.

In short, I'm completely confused.

"You seem to have something to say?"

Suddenly, Tachibana Rin looked at Tazaki Toru.

"Miss Tachibana, are you sure it's alright? Isn't it a little inappropriate?"

"What? You don't mean you think that Hina and I are bothering you?" Tachibana Rin pouted slightly.

“That’s not what I meant at all,” Toru Tazaki said.

"Then what are you worried about?"

Tazaki Toru hesitated for a moment and said, "Um... can I tell the truth?"

"Otherwise? Why would I listen to your lies?"

Immediately, Tazaki Toru frankly said, "I was just thinking that even if Ms. Tachibana has a conflict with her family, she should not act too impulsively."

"I'm not trying to blame Ms. Tachibana, but I think that no matter what happened, Ms. Tachibana's family must be very worried about you."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I already told my sister, she'll talk to Mom and Dad."

"Really, I can handle it myself, why are you being so fussy?"

"It's not that I won't go back this year. I'll go back once I've calmed down and my anger has subsided."

Seeing that Tazaki Toru was genuinely worried about her, Tachibana Rin's tone became less forceful.

Therefore, Tazaki Toru stopped talking and turned to look at Aoki Hina.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for Miss Aoki."

"Huh? Why is it Tazaki-kun apologizing?" Aoki Hina exclaimed in surprise.

She quickly waved her hand, secretly glancing at Tachibana Rin, who looked dejected, and said, "It's okay, I've already talked to my family about it, it's just a slight postponement of my return."

"Moreover, I really want to take this opportunity to travel around."

After breakfast, the group dressed neatly, picked up their suitcases, and left Tsukishima.

I took the train to Tokyo Station.

A young girl was already waiting in front of the station.

238. Let's go! To her hometown. (Two-in-one)

Picking up her pre-packed suitcase, the girl carefully stepped onto the suspended metal staircase, afraid that she might tumble down the stairs along with her suitcase if she wasn't careful.

There's nothing worse than appearing before them looking disheveled and humiliated.

Leaving the apartment, she passed by a familiar convenience store, where the female store manager who had once taken care of her was standing in front of the store wiping the storefront.

Good morning, store manager.

"Oh, good morning, Mika-chan. Are you going back to your hometown today?"

Seeing the suitcase next to Mika Kohinata, the other person asked, "Why isn't your boyfriend here to pick you up?"

"That person is not my boyfriend."

I have a feeling that similar conversations have happened before.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Mika Kohinata continued walking towards the station.

During the journey, Tachibana Rin sent a message.

Mika Kohinata had very mixed feelings about this.

I can't say whether it's good or bad, but I just feel like it shouldn't be like this.

It's like walking into a stylishly decorated coffee shop, ordering their signature iced coffee, only to find out it's hot after taking a sip.

The taste is still the same, but the product is completely different.

Whether it's Toru Tazaki, Hina Aoki, or Rin Tachibana, Mika Kohinata is always happy to be their guide in their hometown.

But once they got together, Mika Kohinata felt at a loss.

With such trepidation in her heart, Mika Kohinata arrived at Tokyo Station early and waited quietly for her companions to arrive at the agreed-upon place.

Before long, a group of two women and one man came from afar.

The two young girls were petite and cute, dressed in a fashionable and beautiful way. The man following behind them was dressed simply, and his face was the most eye-catching luxury item he owned.

This combination is like a high-end sushi made by a beautiful girl herself, with tender and juicy A5 Wagyu beef on top of the rice, a feast for the eyes.

If you were to get involved, you'd likely end up like a glass of lemonade served before a meal, with half a lemon slice that wasn't fresh, which would be embarrassing.

The thought of running away suddenly arose in her mind, but when Kohinata Mika met Tazaki Toru's gentle eyes, the ripples that had been stirred up were inexplicably calmed down.

She took the initiative to go to him.

"Good morning, Hina-chan, Rin-chan, and... Tazaki-sensei."

Tazaki Toru was slightly taken aback.

Good morning, Mika-chan.

After these days of rest, Hina Aoki has returned to her usual self, with a kind and friendly smile on her face, showing no trace of the setback she has just experienced in "heartbreak".

Rin Tachibana observed quietly and came to this conclusion.

In situations like this where multiple girls are together at the same time, a peculiar phenomenon often occurs.

They would subconsciously ignore the young man beside them. The more important he was to them, the more they would deliberately walk away from him.

Rin Tachibana calls it the "Last Slice of Pizza Law".

When only one small slice of pizza remains, everyone starts chatting, but their eyes are always sneaking glances at the last piece of pizza on the table.

The game didn't end until some clueless idiot grabbed the pizza.

Walking beside Toru Tazaki, Rin Tachibana yawned with her mouth wide open. While waiting in line, she would occasionally lose her balance and bump her head on Toru Tazaki's shoulder.

"Miss Tachibana, did you not sleep well last night?"

"My mom called and scolded me, and I sulked all night."

What happened next?

"They said they'd settle the score when I got back."

"That sounds terrifying."

"It's okay. My mom has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I'll go back and pretend to cry a few times, and everything will be fine."

The sound of Tachibana Rin's fake crying echoed in his mind at just the right moment, leaving Tazaki Tooru both amused and exasperated.

The interaction between the two was observed by the two female voice actors beside them.

Hina Aoki and Mika Kohinata have different thoughts.

Rin-chan was actually covering for me...

Rin-chan, as expected, she's a fan of Toru-kun...

The group of people dragged their suitcases and boarded the train.

The seating arrangement is quite interesting.

Since Mika Kohinata only booked tickets for herself and Toru Tazaki, they were seated together.

Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin had their tickets booked at the last minute, so they weren't in the same carriage as the others.

Tazaki Toru first went to the carriage where Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin were, helped them put their suitcases into the top shelf, and then returned.

Shortly after I took my seat, the train bound for Chiba slowly started moving.

Mika Kohinata sat by the window, watching the scenery recede into the distance, and a sense of returning home began to stir within her.

The carriage was very quiet; the only sound was the train moving.

Suddenly, Tazaki Toru's voice came from beside him.

"I'm sorry, Mika."

"Eh?"

Mika Kohinata shifted her gaze from the window to Toru Tazaki, noticing that he was wearing an unusually apologetic expression.

"Your precious holiday has been given another troublesome task."

"Why did Toru apologize on Rin-chan's behalf?"

Mika Kohinata blinked, finding it rather difficult to understand Toru Tazaki's thoughts with her not-so-bright brain.

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and said, "To me, both Miss Aoki and Miss Tachibana are my good friends."

"what about me?"

The girl beside him stared intently at Tazaki Toru, as if trying to install a 24/7 surveillance camera in his mind through their eye contact.

So that she could know his thoughts perfectly.

In that case, I might not have to be so inexplicably sullen now.

“Meijia, you are different from them.”

"What's different?" Mika Kohinata continued to press.

"If I were in that situation, I would ask Rin-chan to take me to Osaka to relax, and Toru-kun would apologize to her on my behalf?"

When he met Mika Kohinata's eyes, Toru Tazaki suddenly didn't know what to say.

I was afraid that I might accidentally say something that would make her cry.

While her crying face was certainly endearing, if possible, Toru Tazaki would never want to see Mika Kohinata crying.

After a long silence, Tazaki Toru spoke softly: "I am not good with words. If you insist on giving me a proper reason, I don't know where to begin."

"If it were Meijia, I don't think I would let you continue to have conflicts with your family."

Even now, I don't think Ms. Tachibana's actions were correct.
