Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Ms. Tachibana would bet that those two are absolutely thinking about men.

"Hina, what did you wish for?"

"I hope MyGO will become a huge hit in the future."

Tsk! That's a lie!

Rin Tachibana made up her mind.

She then looked at Mika Kohinata: "Mika-chan, what did you wish for?"

"Hmm... I just hope that everyone at MyGO can always love each other." Mika Kohinata's smile was endearing.

Rin Tachibana stared at Mika Kohinata for a long time, then glanced at Hina Aoki, hesitating to speak.

It seems your shrine is definitely not effective.

Rin Tachibana subtly nudged Hina Aoki's arm with her elbow, and when Hina looked at her, Rin winked at her.

Hina Aoki understood perfectly what Rin Tachibana was trying to say, and simply ignored her.

"Huh? Where did Tazaki go? Where did he run off to?"

Rin Tachibana looked around for a while and found a familiar figure under a tree.

Rin Tachibana walked over and patted Toru Tazaki on the shoulder.

Tazaki Toru turned around and said "goodbye" to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Miss Tachibana, have you finished making your wish?"

"Who are you talking to on the phone?" Tachibana Rin asked, her face full of suspicion.

Her expression clearly indicated that she thought Tazaki Toru was calling other female voice actors again.

"Mr. Fujita."

Rin Tachibana's eyes widened in surprise: "Wait, my Tazaki-nii, are you still talking about work during the New Year?"

"Not really, I just said some New Year's greetings."

Rin Tachibana looked incredulous, secretly suspecting that Tazaki might be the kind of evil guy who secretly changed female voice actresses' nicknames to "Mr. XX" to cover his tracks.

The girl blinked her beautiful big eyes, tilted her head slightly, and stared at Tazaki Toru for a long time.

Tazaki Toru pondered for a moment, then asked, "Um... Miss Tachibana, what did you wish for?"

"What? Why are you so concerned about me?" Tachibana Rin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a smug smile appeared on her lips.

“I thought you were implying that I should ask you,” Tazaki Toru said.

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Rin's pretty face flushed slightly, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Tch! Who would tell you that!"

The girl gently pulled at his eyelids and stuck out her pink tongue.

Upon seeing this, Tazaki Toru couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?"

Tazaki Toru shook his head: "I just feel a sense of warmth towards Ms. Tachibana, who is still so cheerful."

After all, while Tachibana Rin's behavior these past few days hadn't caused Tazaki Tooru much trouble, it had given him a vague, indescribable feeling.

Like a peacock that always walks proudly alone in the park, suddenly it begins to spread its beautiful tail feathers to its keeper, with whom it spends every day, as if it is deliberately showing off its beauty.

"I don't understand! Are you praising me?"

"Of course."

"That's good."

Miss Tachibana was quite magnanimous in this regard, and did not hold a grudge against Toru Tazaki, showing a happy and joyful expression.

"Rin-chan, Tazaki-kun, we should go back now."

Not far away, Aoki Hina's shouts could be heard.

……

……

On New Year's Day, Mika Kohinata had to go to the shrine early in the morning to help out, mainly selling fortune slips.

On the first day of the new year, people came to worship in an endless stream.

Since this was the only shrine in the entire Minamiboso district, it mobilized almost the entire local population, resulting in a brief period of bustling activity.

The crowds came quickly and left quickly.

Not long after, Tazaki Toru and his two companions arrived at the shrine.

Rin Tachibana is already lively and energetic, completely recovered.

"Mika-chan, the shrine maiden outfit is so cute! Can I take a picture with you?"

"Huh? Hmm... Sure, you can."

Mika Kohinata felt slightly embarrassed but did not refuse.

The red and white shrine maiden outfit, when worn by her, sheds some of her naive and silly appearance, adding a sense of peace and holiness.

Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana both drew fortune sticks and received minor blessings, so the success rate wasn't low.

The two girls went to a tree and tied the divination sticks to a branch.

Tazaki Toru remained standing in place, his gaze sweeping over the country witch in front of him.

Mika Kohinata felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

She nervously raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate little ear.

Her ears were beautiful, smooth, with short downy hairs shimmering at the edges of her thin earlobes.

The girl took a small step back, then mustered her courage, met his gaze, and shyly shook her sleeves, her voice barely audible.

"Toujun, how about it?"

"Does Meijia still remember that bear from that spring, the one with so many animal friends?"

Mika Kohinata was suddenly stunned, feeling completely bewildered.

"I remember."

"When I return to the forest someday, I will definitely show off to them."

"Showing off that I'm the only one in the whole forest who has ever seen you like this."

257. Why are all the female voice actresses on your phone?

After noon, the shrine is no longer as busy as it was in the morning.

Mika Kohinata changed back into her everyday clothes, said goodbye to her mother, and then left with Toru Tazaki and the others.

I found a quiet coffee shop in front of the station and took a short break.

The coastline is not far away, and the outline of Mount Fuji is clearly visible.

During the height of summer, this place is frequented by water sports enthusiasts, which boosts the coffee shop's economy considerably.

During this period, only a few people, including Tazaki Toru, were in the store.

Rin Tachibana is editing a photo on her phone. It's a group photo of three female voice actresses, with Mika Kohinata, dressed as a shrine maiden, standing in the center.

I plan to edit the image and then post it to the MyGO band group.

As for Tazaki Toru, although they took photos together, the photos with men in them were only for their private viewing and should never be circulated, so there was no need to Photoshop them.

Adding all sorts of random special effects and filters, Tachibana Rin exclaimed, "So cute! A shrine maiden outfit. I want to wear one too!"

“Yeah, that’s right,” Hina Aoki chimed in.

When this topic came up, Mika Kohinata blushed slightly and lowered her head, not daring to look up.

In particular, she dared not look at Tazaki Toru.

Hina Aoki's gaze lingered subtly on them, secretly noting down what appeared to be useful information.

Tazaki-kun likes cosplay.

However, Mika Kohinata is a genuine shrine maiden, so she shouldn't be considered a cosplayer.

I wonder if any shrines near Tsukishima Island recruit shrine maidens.

Aoki Hina couldn't help but have the idea of ​​doing a part-time job.

These past few days, I've visited all the places I wanted to go and all the places I wanted to see. Spending my time leisurely like this has created a bit of a New Year's atmosphere.

A long time ago, Hina Aoki never imagined that these people would be able to sit at the same table and chat freely.

Most of the conversations revolved around band-related topics, since it was a common ground for the four of them, and it was something they couldn't easily pass up.

When the topic of returning to Tokyo came up, Tachibana Rin's brows furrowed deeply, and her whole face fell.

Going back to Tokyo means she'll have to go back to Osaka as well.

Rin Tachibana felt a little scared just thinking about the expressions her parents would make.

The defining characteristic of Tachibana Rin is her ability to give up thinking.

It's up to you now, my future self!

Midway through, Toru Tazaki went to the restroom.

"Speaking of which, my agent just sent me a message saying it seems we'll have to do extra training this year."

"Could it be that there's a chance of a live performance this year?"

"Who knows?"

“Tasaki definitely knows, we’ll ask him later.” Tachibana Rin was still editing the image, occasionally adding a few words of agreement.
