Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

As the song ended, Miss Yang sat back on the sofa, picked up her drink, and took a small sip.

"Miss Yang Gong, you have made great progress."

"Well……"

Yang Gongfei drooped her head, gently biting the straw. You could hear the soft, sweet sound of the drink going down her throat.

The girl's long, dark hair obscured her profile, and the dim lighting in the private room made it impossible for Tazaki Toru to see her expression.

"Why don't you let me guess?"

"Miss Hitomi, are you perhaps comparing yourself to Miss Sasaki?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's shoulders trembled involuntarily. She raised her round face and looked at Tazaki Toru with an incredulous expression.

"Huh?! How...how did you know?"

"So that's how it is."

Tazaki Toru sighed helplessly.

"In my opinion, having goals is a good thing, but everything should be done step by step. Ms. Sasaki is a professional singer, so Ms. Hitomi doesn't need to be too hard on herself."

Tazaki Toru's words felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart.

Hinata Himegami quickly moved closer and, without saying a word, gripped Toru Tazaki's hand tightly.

Just like at last year's fireworks festival, when Toru Tazaki held her hand tightly.

The girl leaned forward, almost pinning Tazaki Toru down on the sofa. Her brown pupils contracted, swirled, and released their gravitational pull.

Why would you say such malicious things?

"Does Mr. Tazaki mean that since I can't sing as well as Ms. Sasaki anyway, I might as well give up completely and just let it go?"

Tazaki Toru's expression remained unchanged as he watched Hina Himegami approach, feeling the incredibly thick emotion emanating from her.

This emotion was like an invisible, intangible liquid, seeping through their tightly clasped hands, enveloping Tazaki Toru in an instant, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"If this way of arguing can make Miss Yang Gong understand, even if it hurts your feelings, I will still agree."

“Miss Yang Gong, you don’t need to compare yourself to her.”

The girl's supple body seemed to deflate, as if all her strength had been drained away.

The allure in her eyes gradually faded, and in the blink of an eye, she returned to her previous soft and gentle state.

With her cute round face, she's practically a weapon of mass destruction for weak men.

Few men could resist her broken and tender demeanor.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere in the private room remained somber, with the accompaniment of an unknown song playing from the speakers.

Tazaki Toru reached out and placed his hands on Hinami's shoulders, slowly propped himself up, and gently pushed her away from him little by little.

"Miss Yang Gong, do you remember what I once told you?"

"You don't need to compare yourself to anyone; you already have your voice as your greatest weapon."

Why go to the far and wide when you can find something nearby?

"Because I want to sing better."

"I know."

"I don't want to be a burden to MyGO. I'm the lead singer, and there's not much time left before the concert, yet I'm still..."

"I know."

"Tazaki-sensei, you promised to write a song that would make me shine, you big liar."

"This is the first time I've been called a fraud so bluntly."

Yang Gongfei didn't reply, but her beautiful eyes seemed to be about to turn away again.

"I understand."

Tazaki Toru quickly interrupted Lady Hitomi's gravity spell.

"Since Miss Yanggong is so insecure, I will write it."

"Write a song that will make Miss Aries realize just how outstanding your voice is without her even knowing it."

"Really?"

"But you have to promise me that you won't say such discouraging things again in the future."

"Written for me?"

"Written for MyGO".

"Same, same."

They're completely different.

"It just takes time to write songs, and considering that the members still need to practice, they may not be able to perform them live."

"However, I can assure Miss Ayumi that I will do my utmost to write a song that showcases Miss Ayumi's weapon."

At first, Miss Yang Gong wanted to say something.

But when she saw the look in Tazaki Toru's eyes, the swirling emotions in them seemed to be neutralized by some special force, gradually returning to calm.

With her five senses restored, she became the weak and timid Aries again.

She finally realized that her posture with Toru Tazaki seemed too ambiguous, and subconsciously clenched her fingers.

"……hand."

Tazaki Toru was slightly taken aback, and immediately released his grip on the girl's shoulders.

Immediately, Himegami Hina twisted her hips and moved back quite a distance, making a rustling sound as her pants rubbed against the sofa, thus increasing the distance between herself and Tazaki Toru.

“I’m sorry…” Tazaki Toru said.

The girl shook her head. Although she was extremely shy, now was not the time to care.

"Is what Professor Tazaki just said true?"

"You didn't just make things up to fool me because you think I'm easy to fool?"

"Miss Yang Gong, are you so easily fooled?"

The girl nodded emphatically.

"Unfortunately, because I am not good at lying, I cannot verify whether you are really easy to fool."

"That's a tongue twister."

She didn't press the matter further, picked up the microphone on the table again, and began to sing softly, though her mind wasn't on the song.

Tazaki Toru breathed a long sigh of relief and took the opportunity to leave the private room and go to the karaoke restroom.

When he looked in the mirror, he suddenly realized that cold sweat had appeared on his forehead without him noticing.

Wiping the sweat from his brow, Toru Tazaki couldn't help but think:

The aura that Ms. Yanggong exudes on certain special occasions is truly somewhat frightening.

It's best to avoid provoking her in the future.

After quickly washing his face and leaving the restroom, he was pondering matters concerning Yang Gongfeina when, without noticing, he bumped into a figure at the corner.

The girl's startled cry rang in his ears, and Tazaki Toru instinctively reached out and grabbed her tightly to prevent her from falling backward.

Upon closer inspection, the girl in front of him had a beautiful face that he remembered vividly.

How did I end up running into her here?

274. Ms. Soda said that he didn't look like a good person.

From childhood, Yozuki Sora was a slightly shy and somewhat rebellious child.

He had a negative attitude, disliked attending classes, and skipping school was a regular occurrence.

Whenever she received a call from the school, her mother would feel helpless and search for her in every street and alley.

Until one day, something seemed to awaken within her body, and Sora Yozuki began to have the dreams that countless girls have.

I also want to stand on the stage.

Want to shine?

……

……

"Sorry, are you alright?"

Hearing the man in front of her speak, the girl snapped back to reality, pulled her hand back, and quickly took a few steps back.

When she saw the person's face clearly, she also showed a look of astonishment.

“Um…Tazaki-sensei.”

Tazaki Toru nodded in response: "What a coincidence, Ms. Soda."

The girl's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, a detail perfectly captured by Toru Tazaki.

Yozuki Handa forced a slightly stiff smile: "Yes, yes."

She came to karaoke alone today.

The pressure at work lately has been really overwhelming for her.

Maintaining a perfect idol image in front of others is extremely difficult.

I can only find a place like this, sit alone in a private booth, and silently vent my frustrations.

It's easy for others to think you have no friends.

The girl in front of him avoided eye contact, but seemed to be restrained by Tazaki Toru's identity, so she could only stand there with a stiff smile, waiting for Tazaki Toru to say goodbye.

For Yozuki Sora, the sight of Toru Tazaki always reminded her of her homeroom teacher who used to catch her when she skipped class and had to come back to school.

Because she felt she didn't sing well, she felt as embarrassed as if she had been caught by her homeroom teacher after sneaking off to the arcade.
