Tazaki Toru took out his room key and was about to say goodbye to the girl.

"Tou-kun..."

"Ok?"

Mika Kohinata mustered her courage, stretched out her fingers, and gently pinched Toru Tazaki's sleeve.

She forced a smile and said somewhat reluctantly, "I... I think I'm still a little scared."

Tazaki Toru recalled the previous scene, so it wasn't hard to understand Kohinata Mika's feelings at this moment.

She was a timid girl to begin with, which made Tazaki Toru find her especially adorable.

"Then, shall I go to your room and sit with you for a while, and chat for a bit?"

The girl's breath hitched as she looked into Tazaki Toru's bright, clear eyes, devoid of any evil thoughts, and felt ashamed and disgusted by her own thoughts.

But she still couldn't refuse.

"it is good."

Break the defense.

Which idiot lied to me and said there would be double monthly votes at the end of the month? I haven't asked for monthly votes all month, it's really making me laugh in anger.

I was so angry in the middle of the night that my heart ached, and I clenched my fists.

Hey guys, give me some monthly votes!

Please.

I'm really breaking down. I've never felt so helpless before, and I have no way to express my suffering.

I was fooled by the idiots in the author group; I'm a complete novice.

My buddy was tricked into joining the C group by Xiangzi's seductive gestures, and then told that he couldn't get into it and that it was going to disband.

I really broke through all my defenses.

Please.

Please give me some monthly votes.

Eugene.

279. Will you lie to me in the future? (Seeking monthly votes)

night.

At this time of day, Tazaki Toru would usually be in the music room, listening to the two female voice actresses in his family practice their guitars while writing down the melodies in his mind.

Today's situation is very different.

The only thing they had in common was that he still had a female voice actress by his side.

There were beer cans on the coffee table inside. Considering that we had to get up early the next day, each person only drank one can.

The story of encountering a black bear begging for meat in a noodle shop sounds like a topic of conversation and could provide a source of amusement for quite some time.

But as someone who was involved, looking back, it was truly a chilling experience.

Tazaki Toru was relatively calm, but Kohinata Mika seemed to still be in a state of lingering fear.

Tazaki Toru could understand, after all, Kohinata Mika's small frame was probably not even enough to fill the black bear's teeth.

It would be perfectly normal for an ordinary girl to scream and cry on the spot upon seeing such a scene.

Mika Kohinata, on the other hand, was so slow to react that she completely lost her composure.

Looking back on it now, I'm terrified.

At least in this matter, Toru Tazaki thought that Mika Kohinata was a slow-witted idiot, which was not a bad thing.

However, with Toru Tazaki by her side and having drunk a few more beers, Mika Kohinata was in excellent condition and seemed to have long forgotten about the black bear.

Even if it chased her to the hotel room door, she seemed confident that she could fight it for a few rounds with her bare hands.

We're all bears, so there's no reason why the adorable little bear from Nanfangzong should necessarily lose.

The room wasn't large; there was a small table for them to drink at, and the most eye-catching thing was the large, seemingly very soft bed.

Mika Kohinata took small sips of her beer can, her cheeks flushed, whether from the alcohol or something else entirely.

The more she drank, the more sober she became, gradually realizing that she was alone with Toru Tazaki in a hotel room.

The atmosphere was particularly awkward with only a man and a woman alone together.

Although they had lived together for a while, hotels always gave her a lewd and suggestive feeling, making her prone to wild thoughts.

She had no choice but to drink water tactically, sip after sip without stopping.

What went down her throat was nothing but icy beer, which made her burp loudly.

Suddenly, for some reason, the girl smiled and stared at Tazaki Toru with a silly grin.

Tazaki Toru thought the girl was finally scared out of her wits, so he waved his hand in front of her.

"Meijia?"

"Hmm... what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Why are you grinning like that?"

"Hehehe... I just think all of this is a bit unbelievable."

"Because of the bear?"

Toru Tazaki asked.

"No, it's because of Toru-kun," Mika Kohinata said firmly.

Tazaki looked puzzled.

"I'm really happy."

Mika Kohinata, who was not a heavy drinker, now had a face flushed with alcohol, filled with both naivety and shyness.

"Because Toru-kun came to rely on me. I never thought that I, who couldn't do anything, could help Toru-kun one day. Hmm... although I don't think I did anything."

"Even so, Tou-kun still thanks me, which makes me feel like I've actually helped him."

"It's not a misperception, you really did help me."

Really?

When have I ever lied to you?

"I'm not very bright, so even if you lied to me, I wouldn't be able to tell."

She is quite self-aware.

Yet it was in this very place that Tazaki Toru felt from the bottom of his heart that this girl was truly incredible, and even the parts that made her seem cute were unexpectedly unbelievable.

The girl shook her head and swayed back and forth for a while, her round little head finally resting on Toru Tazaki's shoulder.

“Ah…Tou-kun.”

"Ok?"

Tazaki Toru didn't push her away, letting her lazily rub her cheek against his shoulder like a cat sunbathing.

"Do you know what my mother said about you?"

Tazaki Toru was taken aback and asked curiously, "How did you say that?"

She said that Tokyo men love to lie, especially the handsome ones.

"You told me not to fall for your tricks, or I'd be completely swindled out of everything."

Tazaki Toru was both amused and exasperated, unsure whether the girl was serious or just drunk and talking nonsense.

"Mom is so stupid."

Mika Kohinata nestled against Toru Tazaki's shoulder, uttering soft murmurs.

"fool?"

"That's right, I have nothing to begin with, so why should I worry about being cheated out of anything by you?"

Tazaki Toru opened his mouth, feeling a slight unease for no apparent reason at the girl's words.

In the mind of this girl named Mika Kohinata, she always adopted an exceptionally humble posture, as if she could not communicate with others without doing so.

Tazaki Tomo is innocent because she is always experiencing failure. Due to her lack of successful experiences, she always finds fault with herself.

Even after being selected for the MyGO project and becoming the voice actress for Nagasaki Motoyo, she attributed all the credit to Tazaki Toru.

Tazaki Toru thought that perhaps only by experiencing a live performance truly in front of an audience could Kohinata Mika truly grow.

"Hey, Tou-kun, is what my mother said true?"

Will you lie to me in the future?

“No, it won’t,” Toru Tazaki said.

"Absolutely not?"

Why aren't you saying anything?

Not receiving immediate affirmation from Toru Tazaki, the girl slightly pursed her lips.

"I think there is no one in the world who does not lie or deceive."

"And I am just an ordinary person, which means I am destined not to be a 100% honest person."

"Therefore, when Meijia asked me if I would lie to you, I did not want to lie to you under any circumstances, but I did not have that kind of confidence."

"Does not lying mean it's not deception? I don't think so."

"Deception, concealment, or turning a blind eye and pretending not to hear are essentially no different."

"I am saying this not to exonerate myself or to gain some righteous cause."

"I just want to tell you that although I cannot make a promise that I will never lie or conceal anything."
