Ms. Tachibana is currently sitting in her quilt peeling oranges, with the local New Year's program playing on the television.
With one leg crossed, her small, bandaged foot stretched out, her five slender toes wiggling back and forth, as if displaying an exquisitely crafted exhibit.
"Rin-chan, are you alright?"
"Hmm, it's much better now, it's nothing."
How could you be so careless?
Rin Tachibana wiggled her feet and said, "It's all because of those shoes."
"I told you long ago not to wear those kinds of shoes when going out."
"Hindsight is 20/20. When did you say that?"
Even though Hina Aoki had said it, Rin Tachibana had long forgotten about it.
Aoki Hina showed a slightly helpless expression, thinking to herself that this girl was not easy to deal with even when she went out to play.
If I'm not careful for even a moment and she's out of my sight, she'll cause all sorts of trouble.
Where is Tazaki-kun?
"How would I know? I can't possibly keep clinging to him forever, can I?" Tachibana Rin's tone was direct, and her expression revealed nothing unusual.
Hina Aoki turned to Mika Kohinata: "Mika-chan, I'm sorry, it's so kind of you to invite us to your house, but she probably won't be able to come."
Mika Kohinata exclaimed "Eh!" and after a moment of confusion, hurriedly waved her hand, "It's okay, it's more important for Rin-chan to rest now."
"Hey~~~ I want to go, I can walk on the ground."
After saying that, Tachibana Rin propped herself up and limped around the room, giving a "Look!" look to her face.
Hina Aoki shook her head helplessly.
As for Mika Kohinata, she was hanging her head and looked rather absent-minded.
Rin Tachibana's eyes darted around, wondering if Yang-nee had really won the revival match.
"Well, I'll go check on Tou-kun's room and tell him to cancel tonight's plans."
"No! I can go."
Rin Tachibana's attitude was firm, and Mika Kohinata didn't know how to respond, so she could only look at Hina Aoki.
However, once she makes eye contact with Hina Aoki, Mika Kohinata unconsciously wants to look away.
"Mika-chan, then please go to Tazaki-kun's room and tell him that the evening's schedule remains unchanged. We can't persuade Rin-chan otherwise."
"That's too much. It makes it sound like I'm being unreasonable and willful."
Mika Kohinata nodded silently, waiting for her to leave the room.
Rin Tachibana quickly came to Hina Aoki's side and pulled her to sit down on the tatami.
"Sis, what did you say to Mika-chan?"
"They didn't say anything."
"Don't try to fool me. Do you think I can't tell?"
Mika Kohinata is really bad at hiding her thoughts. Even Rin Tachibana, who is not good at reading people, can tell what happened between the two female voice actresses.
Aoki Hina remained silent for a while before truthfully relaying her previous conversation with Kohinata Mika to Tachibana Rin.
Tachibana Rin was completely stunned after hearing this, and immediately gave Aoki Hina a thumbs up.
"Sis, you're amazing."
Stop being so cheeky.
"What are you trying to achieve? You can't beat her, it's like an ant trying to shake a tree!"
"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. I have my own plans."
Rin Tachibana curled her lip, thinking to herself, "When has Haruna Oshima ever succeeded in her schemes?"
What's that saying again? A brilliant plan can bring peace to the world, and it will make you lose money and suffer losses.
"You're going through too much trouble. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble and end up crying."
Aoki Hina suddenly stopped talking, stared at Tachibana Rin for a long time, and said, "Why do you say that? You seem to know a lot about it."
Rin Tachibana's heart tightened.
"I... I am naturally very intelligent, but I would never stoop to your level. Unlike you, who are always thinking about men."
Aoki Hina couldn't find the words to refute this. After a long silence, she sighed softly:
"Rin-chan, sometimes I'm really envious of you."
"Envious of me? Envious of what?"
"I envy you for not having anyone you like, so you can continue to be yourself and be free, unlike me, who has become a bad girl."
Rin Tachibana wanted to protest, feeling that she was being looked down upon.
But when Tachibana Rin noticed the faint sadness on Aoki Hina's face, it seemed that she was thinking this from the bottom of her heart.
"I don't think there's a good or bad distinction between them."
"Eh?"
Rin Tachibana's face showed a rare seriousness: "Reputation, money, men, whatever."
"If you want something, you have to work hard and fight for it."
"If using underhanded methods is considered evil, then wouldn't everyone who strives for their dreams and goals be an utterly wicked villain?"
Hina Aoki was completely taken aback by Rin Tachibana's insightful observation, and even reached out to touch Rin's bright forehead.
"Are you really Rin-chan?"
Ms. Tachibana was furious and slapped Hina Aoki's hand away.
"What! You're looking down on me again!"
"No, I just think it's very rare for you, Rin-chan, to say something so reasonable. You're almost convincing me."
"I know a lot more than you think. Do you really think I'm stupid?" Tachibana Rin said smugly, her nose practically pointing to the sky.
Hina Aoki immediately burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Hina Aoki shook her head slightly, a faint smile on her face: "No, I was just thinking that if my opponent were Rin-chan, it might be much more troublesome than Mika-chan."
As mentioned earlier, Hina Aoki felt as if she had truly become a bad girl.
The female voice actresses surrounding him each had a distinct personality.
She still remembers the panic, trepidation, and timidity that the country girl revealed after she confessed her feelings to Mika.
Girls like Mika Kohinata often have timid thoughts due to a lack of self-confidence.
However, Hina Aoki did not intend to use this to make him back down.
Tracing back to the root cause, it was actually Aoki Hina herself who lacked confidence at this point.
The reason Aoki Hina was honest with Kohinata Mika was because she firmly believed that Kohinata Mika shared the same thoughts.
She would never tell Tazaki Toru about this, and Aoki Hina could use this action to keep Kohinata Mika in check.
However, this tactic can only be used on Mika Kohinata.
If it were someone else, such as Ms. Kondo, it would only provoke a sense of crisis in the other party, which would be counterproductive.
"Don't worry, I'll go easy on you if you're going to face me."
"Just because I praised you a couple of times, you actually think you're a dating guru."
"Let's see if you can still talk so glibly when you meet someone you like."
"Hmph! The man I could possibly fancy hasn't even been born yet."
After saying that, Tachibana Rin's gaze suddenly fell on the bandage wrapped around her ankle.
She subtly withdrew her leg, intentionally concealing it.
247. My ideal husband said so.
After tidying up his luggage and charging his phone, Tazaki Toru figured the two female voice actresses should have returned by now and prepared to go and meet them.
As soon as he opened the sliding door to the Japanese-style room, a pretty girl was standing in front of him, which startled him.
Upon closer inspection, the girl in front of him was none other than Mika Kohinata.
"Meijia? Why are you standing at the door?"
Mika Kohinata panicked and instinctively made up a lie: "Um... I, I just replied to a message and was about to knock when you opened the door."
"I see." Tazaki Toru didn't think much of it.
"Have you gone to see Miss Tachibana yet?"
“Yes, I just came from there,” Mika Kohinata replied.
"How is Miss Tachibana? Is she still able to go tonight?"
"Rin-chan said she wants to go, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
"I think so too."
Tazaki Tohsaki had anticipated that Tachibana Rin would say that, and was not surprised at all.
"I'm so sorry, I've ruined the sightseeing plan you specially arranged for us."
Tazaki Toru thought that Kohinata Mika would, as always, hurriedly wave her hand and say things like "It's okay" or "Don't worry about it."
"Toru-kun, you're apologizing for her again," Mika Kohinata suddenly said.
"Well... I guess I've gotten used to it, and it's partly my fault too."
Hearing that Tazaki Toru had taken the blame upon himself, Kohinata Mika lowered her head silently.
"Tou-kun..."
