"By the way, my sister seemed to have been talking to you for quite a while, I saw it all. What did she say to you?"

Tazaki Toru hesitated slightly, unsure whether he should ask about what he had just heard from Kubo Miyu.

"Um, Ms. Tachibana..."

"Ok?"

281. Tonight, all the different female voice actresses are losing sleep because of him.

Tazaki Toru has always been the type to speak his mind.

Although she hesitated for a moment, she still asked the question that was on her mind.

Miyu Kubo said her phone is full of photos of Toru Tazaki.

What's going on here?

Rin Tachibana initially thought that Toru Tazaki was calling to check on her. Although she was exhausted from being scolded by her parents, she was still a little happy.

But as soon as Tazaki Toru asked the question, Tachibana Rin was completely stunned.

His eyes were slightly vacant when he spotted Kubo Miyu not far away, and he gritted his teeth inwardly.

"Tch! What's so special about that! I don't just have yours, I also have Japan's! Do you really think your face is so precious? You won't even let people take pictures!"

"That's not what I meant... I'm sorry, I said something strange."

"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore. If you don't have anything else, I'm hanging up." Tachibana Rin's tone was unfriendly, and she was eager to hang up the phone.

Rin Tachibana's underlying logic is that when she is clearly at a disadvantage, she either breathes on herself or runs away.

Tazaki Toru hesitated for a moment on the other end of the phone before speaking softly, "To be honest, I'm relieved to hear that Ms. Tachibana's voice is still so energetic."

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Rin slightly pursed her lips and remained silent without responding, her expression appearing much more relaxed.

She curled up lazily on the sofa, pulled a square cushion to her chest, and twirled the small zipper pull between her fingers.

"At least you still have some conscience, otherwise I would haunt you even as a ghost."

"Is it really necessary to be like this?"

"Hmph! How's it going on your end?"

"It went fairly smoothly. I'll head back to Tokyo tomorrow after I finish my business."

"Oh."

Seeing that Tazaki Toru didn't intend to elaborate, Tachibana Rin unusually refrained from pressing for details.

She still seemed a little embarrassed by the conversation they had just had.

Fortunately, they were just on the phone, so Toru Tazaki couldn't see her expression.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any longer, Ms. Tachibana. Please get some rest. Goodnight."

"……oh."

The call ended, and Tazaki Toru's voice faded from her ears, leaving a brief silence that made the girl feel a little lost for a moment.

However, this emotion didn't last long. Tachibana Rin immediately clenched her fists and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Kubo Yayu!"

The bathroom door opened, and Kubo Miyu, wearing a face mask, gently patted her face, revealing a pair of eyes that were seven or eight parts similar to Tachibana Rin's, with a rather playful look in her eyes.

"Oh! Finished chatting?"

Rin Tachibana gritted her teeth, her voice practically escaping each word through her teeth:

Did you secretly go through my phone's photo album?

"I'm innocent! I was looking at it openly and honestly, not sneaking a peek."

Rin Tachibana was immediately enraged, her face flushed red, and her thin, flat chest heaved violently.

"Don't worry, I won't tell Mom and Dad about you having a younger boyfriend."

"He is not my boyfriend."

“Honey, the evidence is conclusive, there’s no need to deny it. Don’t worry, Mom and Dad shouldn’t dislike his type.”

Rin Tachibana's eyebrows twitched: "Really?"

Then, seeing Kubo Miyu's mocking expression, Tachibana Rin became even angrier.

"I've already said that's not how it is! I hate it even more than my parents do!"

"I hate it that you have so many photos saved on your phone, especially photos of you sleeping. I don't even dare to scroll up, afraid of seeing your selfies and videos."

"Sis, listen to my advice. You can use your own phone to take pictures, but don't use his."

Rin Tachibana was so angry that she trembled all over, and clenched her little fists and slammed them hard against the pillow in front of her twice.

"I want to emphasize again that we are not dating, and besides, he is the person Hina likes."

After saying that, Tachibana Rin's eyelids drooped, and her voice gradually became weak and feeble.

Kubo Miyu blinked, gradually realizing something was amiss, perhaps he had indeed misunderstood.

She moved closer to her younger sister and sat down beside her.

"No, I mean, Ms. Kubo Akira, are you into that unrequited love thing too? Doesn't this really turn into a love triangle?"

"It has nothing to do with me, I'm just watching the show."

"Still being stubborn. I think the relationship between the three of you is getting more and more complicated."

Rin Tachibana pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "If you knew he had a master by his side, your eyes would pop out of your head."

Although Kubo Miyu is older than her and has been through a lot, this is the first time she has ever encountered a love triangle, something she only sees in TV dramas.

What's more, it happened to his own younger sister.

"A love triangle, that's not easy to handle," Kubo Miyu couldn't help but marvel.

Rin Tachibana still wanted to be stubborn, but she felt that it was pointless to put on an act in front of her sister. She pursed her lips and remained silent, but she couldn't help thinking about Hina Aoki.

For Tachibana Rin, Aoki Hina was undoubtedly her best friend.

Therefore, she hopes that Aoki Hina can find love and happiness no matter what.

Originally, Tachibana Rin always thought so.

But recently, that feeling seems to have become less certain.

Like a broken candle flame flickering in the wind, it seemed about to fall and could go out at any moment.

……

……

Tokyo, Tsukishima.

The girl sat alone in the music room playing the piano. After the clock struck midnight, she turned off the lights in the music room and went downstairs to wash up.

After coming out of the bathroom, the girl did not go upstairs to her room immediately.

Instead, he found himself inexplicably standing in front of the door of a bedroom on the first floor.

I knocked gently on the door.

Naturally, no one responded to her.

Tonight, she is home alone.

I pushed the door open and entered. The room was very clean and tidy, with all the items arranged in an extremely orderly manner.

The girl's slender fingers traced across his desk, which was spotless.

The unlit scented candles on the bedside table exude a sweet and pleasant aroma when brought close.

Sitting on the edge of the bed without the bedroom owner's permission.

In the stillness of midnight, the girl could hear the roots of loneliness slowly growing longer.

He lay lazily on the bed he used day and night, the soft quilt still smelling of sunshine and his own scent.

She couldn't help but turn over, her petite body flipping over, and her cotton slippers fell to the floor.

Her lovely face was pressed into the pillow, her straight nose deformed by the pressure, and all the smells in the bedroom seemed to rush into her nose at this moment.

Beside her, the dimly lit phone screen displayed her chat with Mika Kohinata.

Hina Aoki knows everything.

We know where he is going and who he is going with.

She just doesn't like to show it.

Hina Aoki simply didn't want to be the kind of girl who would cause him trouble.

Stretch out your arms, hug the pillow tightly, and slowly clench your legs together.

The girl's voice was soft, conveying the bitterness of unrequited love.

Yet, one could also discern a hint of relentless, invading intent in those murmurs.

“Tazaki-kun…”

282. Don't you know what knife-cut noodles are? (Seeking monthly votes)

That night.

Tazaki Toru hunched over his desk, flipping through the lyric book while also jotting down his thoughts.

Whether it was due to his influence or not, Tazaki Toru also developed the habit of frequently writing down his feelings after coming to this world.

This is different from a diary; it's more like a jotting down of thoughts when inspiration strikes.

Just like when he wrote "Spring Shadow" and "Lost Star Cry", Toru Tazaki used those rough sketches from back then to create lyrics that fit these two songs.

Before arriving in this land, Tazaki Toru was indeed apprehensive.

But when he actually arrived, he found that he was not feeling heavy-hearted.
