Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"But as an outsider, I really have no right to get involved in these kinds of family disputes, so I can only let her do what she wants."

"But if it's Meijia, I might forcefully do something to upset you, and you might even say I'm meddling."

"even so……

"I have no relatives in this world, and perhaps that is why my thinking has become biased."

"How can we achieve the best of both worlds, without compromising ourselves or hurting our families?"

"I am not someone who can think calmly about everything, and I also have things that I cherish and care about."

"Even though I have never had a loving family relationship, it doesn't mean I don't believe in its existence."

"I sincerely hope that the winding road you are walking on to the end of your dreams is filled with the blessings of your family."

"Isn't it true that the moment of realizing a dream is more beautiful and more moving?"

Mika Kohinata never expected that Toru Tazaki would think so much.

It's common for young voice actresses like them to work hard in Beijing, juggling multiple jobs, and not receiving support from their families.

Mika Kohinata is very lucky; her family is very supportive of her dreams, so she has never encountered the kind of situation that Toru Tazaki described.

Children who grow up surrounded by love will understand how to reciprocate that love when they grow up.

What about Toru Tazaki?

He was an orphan who once fell to the point of wanting to leave this world.

He had never been loved, yet he was able to treat people with kindness.

Mika Kohinata willingly gave him all the love she had accumulated over the past twenty years, love that was almost overflowing from her body.

The noise from the train was exceptionally loud, causing her to experience mild tinnitus, and her heartbeat became unusually clear and incessant.

The girl's cheeks had already turned bright red. She turned her face slightly away, closed her eyes and lowered her gaze, not daring to look directly into Tazaki Toru's clear and sincere eyes.

"Tou-kun, don't worry. My family members are all very easy-going people, so we won't encounter the kind of thing you described."

"……Um."

Tazaki Toru responded.

"Seriously, now that you say that, I feel sorry for Rin-chan instead."

"Given Tachibana's personality, I think she can forget all these things once she's had her fun."

"Huh? When did Toru start talking badly about people behind their backs? I don't like that."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Mika Kohinata couldn't help but chuckle. Her slender fingers lightly covered her pink lips, which were covered in lipstick, and her narrow, elongated eyes were filled with the image of Toru Tazaki at that moment.

"Perhaps in Toru's eyes, Rin-chan is a somewhat troublesome girl, but to me, that's not the case."

Tazaki looked puzzled.

Mika Kohinata slowly raised the corners of her mouth, comfortably leaning back in her chair, her slender fingers gently stroking the glass, as if she wanted to reach into the outer sea.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time: to meet teammates I can spend my whole life with, to have fun with them, and to play until sunset every day."

"Thanks to this, I have fulfilled another small wish."

"I hope that next year I will have the opportunity to go out and have fun with all my teammates from MyGO, anywhere is fine."

Tazaki Toru is very important, and MyGO is equally important; it's hard to say which is more important.

Looking at the world from a different perspective, this trip home brought her double the joy.

Mika Kohinata is such a girl; no matter what setbacks she encounters, she always faces them with a smile and a positive attitude.

Even though she has cried and been sad, she can always show a simple, sun-like smile that illuminates herself and others.

Perhaps, this is the essence of Mika Kohinata.

The biggest difference between her and other girls.

“Ah, Tou-kun.”

"Ok?"

"Tou-kun, do you have a wish?"

"wish?"

"Yes!" She nodded emphatically.

"It's not a dream, nor a goal to be achieved, it's just... something I want to achieve no matter what."

"I also want to do what I can for Tou-kun."

Tazaki Toru was not one to give perfunctory answers. He thought about it carefully for a long time, and then, meeting Kohinata Mika's gaze, he opened a crack in his heart.

"There is a place I want to go, but I dare not go there alone."

"Eh?"

The girl never expected to receive such an answer.

Curious, I asked, "What place is that?"

Tazaki Toru hesitated for a long time, but finally shook his head gently.

"I can't say it right now."

"Not even with me?"

"Perhaps it is because it is you that I find it hard to say it."

"What's the point of this?"

"Because Meijia is special to me."

"...Hmm, although I was happy to hear that, I still can't get over it. It seems that Toru is starting to have secrets about me."

"I'm just afraid of being hated by you."

"I would never hate Toru-kun."

Mika Kohinata spoke with absolute certainty, as if no matter how heinous the things Toru Tazaki did, she would still show a silly, innocent smile.

"Actually, it's just because I'm not ready yet, and I'm afraid that if I say it out loud, I'll give myself a reason to go."

“I would prefer to wait until I am ready before mentioning it to you, so that at least I can prove that I am not trying to show off in front of you.”

It sounded a bit convoluted, and Mika Kohinata, who wasn't good at thinking about complicated things, tilted her head involuntarily.

"Is it a very far place? Do we need to take a plane? A cruise ship? Or a rocket?"

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"I'm not going to Mars."

"I'll tell you once I've figured it out myself."

"Then, can you take me with you?"

"go together?"

"Hmm! I'm really curious, what kind of place is it that makes Toru so conflicted and unable to let go of it?"

"It's not to say that I'm thinking about it constantly..."

Seeing Mika Kohinata's very serious expression, Toru Tazaki knew he couldn't refuse the girl.

This is truly baffling; it seems that Tazaki Toru never feels the urge to refuse any of her requests.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Mika Kohinata's pretty face lit up with joy.

"Really?"

“Really, but we have to transfer in northern Myanmar,” Toru Tazaki said with a light laugh.

"Honestly! You're trying to fool me with that excuse again!"

"Sorry, I just felt like I made the atmosphere a bit awkward and wanted to ease it."

"If you're willing to promise me that you'll take me with you, I'll feel as soft and comfortable as if I'm sitting on a marshmallow."

"Okay, I promise."

Mika Kohinata finally smiled.

"Tou-kun, look outside!"

The girl looked out the window with a smile. The warm winter sun shone on the sea, making it sparkle.

"So beautiful."

Mika Kohinata pressed her soft cheek against the car window, her eyes reflecting a shimmering, sparkling light.

The girl's cheerful smile was reflected in Tazaki Toru's pupils.

Tazaki Toru chuckled softly as well.

"Oh, yes."

239. After returning from the hot springs, they confessed their feelings in the water. (Two-in-one)

Minami-Boso, located on the Boso Peninsula in southern Chiba Prefecture, is a tourist destination that attracts visitors with its sea fishing and water sports.

It's quite popular with tourists in the height of summer, but once winter arrives, it's no exaggeration to say it's deserted.

When you take a cross-sea bus, through the train window, all you can see outside are trees, grass, rubble, and bungalows, and the endless sea.

Overall, although Boso is somewhat rural, it is not far from Tokyo.

Just past noon, the group arrived at their destination, Michino Station.

In the remote village of Minamiboso, Michinoe Station serves multiple functions, including a transportation hub and a tourist information center.

Before becoming a voice actress in Tokyo, Mika Kohinata had worked part-time in the area.

"Everyone, please wait here for a moment while I go get the car."
