Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Upon seeing her smugly pretty face, Hina Aoki's pent-up anger vanished instantly.

It's truly amazing.

After a long while, Aoki Hina sighed and reached out her finger to poke Tachibana Rin's smooth forehead.

"Alright, I've known for a long time that you're the kind of person who doesn't think before you speak. It's not like it's just started today."

"Hehe~~"

Rin Tachibana wasn't annoyed when her forehead was poked; instead, she just grinned foolishly.

Although Tachibana Rin did have some minor conflicts with Aoki Hina during this period because of Tazaki Toru.

But for Tachibana Rin, Aoki Hina was indeed her most important friend.

What merit or ability does Tazaki Toru possess to be compared to Aoki Hina?

Rin Tachibana thought this to herself with absolute certainty.

"By the way, did Tazaki-kun say anything after that?"

He seems really troubled. Why don't you go and talk to him about it?

"Don't go."

"why?"

Rin Tachibana was extremely surprised; she had thought Hina Aoki would be eager to talk to Toru Tazaki.

In the event of such an emergency, the worst thing you can do is not deal with it immediately, which will only lead to an awkward situation where both sides drift further apart.

Given Aoki Hina's quick wit, it's impossible that she didn't think of this.

Suddenly, Hina Aoki's expression turned serious.

"Rin-chan, listen to me."

"how?"

"Tomorrow, if Tazaki-kun asks you about me, just say I'm too shy to face him."

"what?"

Rin Tachibana was completely stunned, staring at Hina Aoki from left to right.

"Hey sis, what's wrong with you that you're shy?"

"Never mind that."

Aoki Hina's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she stared intently at Tachibana Rin.

"What? You're not happy?"

"...Me? What do I care about whether I'm happy or not? Whatever happens between you two is none of my business." Tachibana Rin blurted out.

"That's fine. When the time comes, just tell him that I'm incredibly shy, and that every time I meet him, I pretend that I'm too embarrassed to talk to him."

"Given Tazaki-kun's personality, he absolutely cannot leave me alone. He will definitely come and talk to me. Then we'll see how I handle him."

After listening, Tachibana Rin couldn't help but say, "Yang-nee, I just don't understand, do you have to go through all this trouble? Can't we be more sincere?"

"I want to be sincere, but he won't listen to me. He's completely unyielding. What can I do?"

Rin Tachibana thought about it and realized it was true.

"So, will you help or not?"

"I……"

Seeing that Tachibana Rin had suddenly fallen silent, Aoki Hina slowly narrowed her eyes.

"Rin-chan, you like him..."

Rin Tachibana was startled.

"Oshima Haruna, don't make false accusations! Who likes him!"

"I haven't finished yet. I mean, if you liked him, Rin-chan, what would you do?"

Rin Tachibana stammered for a while, feeling extremely stung by Hina Aoki's gaze, and finally flung her hand away:

"I can't figure it out. Your premise is flawed; I can't apply it to my own situation."

Aoki Hina remained silent, while Tachibana Rin felt a little uneasy under her gaze.

"Well, if you really don't like him, then prove it to me..."

"You wouldn't refuse to help me with such a small favor, would you?"

"I……"

Tachibana Rin bit her lip lightly, and under Aoki Hina's expectant gaze, she helplessly nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Hina Aoki finally smiled.

"Rin-chan, you're so kind."

"........."

287. Your sister Lin's suffering is indescribable.

After leaving Aoki Hina's bedroom, Tachibana Rin returned to her own room.

After entering the room, Ms. Tachibana collapsed onto the bed, the soft mattress bouncing a few times.

His large, bright eyes stared blankly at the ceiling.

There's an inexplicable feeling of unease in my heart, stuck in my chest, and I don't know how to vent it.

She and Hina Aoki were clearly best friends, just as she once told Toru Tazaki, Hina Aoki was her mouthpiece.

Even half of her body.

But recently, for some reason, she has been feeling increasingly annoyed when she is around Hina Aoki.

Especially when the topic of Tazaki Toru is discussed, Tachibana Rin always feels inexplicably uncomfortable.

At first, Tachibana Rin thought she was upset with Tazaki Toru.

But gradually, she realized that it might not be so.

Her phone, tucked in her pocket, buzzed and vibrated, but she couldn't muster any strength.

The phone rang for a long time. Ms. Tachibana sighed and glanced at the caller ID.

I let out a soft sigh, feeling no desire to speak, but if I didn't respond, it would be troublesome to explain later.

So, after the call connected, Tachibana Rin said weakly, "Hello..."

"Huh? Why does it sound like she's about to die?" A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Normally, Tachibana Rin might have argued back, but at this moment she had no such intention, her mind was full of other things.

"Let me guess, was it the same day that Caijiang fought over a man and got into a fight, and you lost?"

Rin Tachibana was speechless, finding Miyu Kubo's voice utterly hateful for the first time.

"Sis, if you called just to talk about such boring things, I'm hanging up. I'm tired and don't have time to argue with you."

"What? I was just concerned about my sister's relationship status."

Rin Tachibana sighed deeply, paused for a long time, and said dejectedly, "Is something the matter?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask how things are going since you got back to Tokyo."

"I'm fine, I'm hanging up now."

"Hey! I haven't gotten to the important matter yet."

"Didn't you say it was nothing serious?"

"Hey~~ I came to give you a heads-up, and you're not happy about it? Do you even consider me your older sister anymore?"

Rin Tachibana was taken aback: "Tip me in the foot? Tip me in what foot?"

"Humph!"

"Stop keeping me in suspense."

"Don't blame me for not warning you, but after you left, Mom and Dad have become suspicious."

"Suspicion?"

“They contacted me today, asking if I was dating someone in Tokyo, which is why I wouldn’t even go home, because they were afraid they would set me up on blind dates.”

Almost instantly, Tachibana Rin, who had been lying on the bed, sat bolt upright: "What did you say?"

"Oh?! Now you're feeling nervous?"

Even over the phone, Tachibana Rin could imagine the smug look on her sister's face.

"Don't worry, I didn't say anything."

Rin Tachibana felt a sense of relief instantly, and the handsome and gentle face of Toru Tazaki unconsciously appeared in her mind.

Her heart suddenly started pounding, and she stubbornly retorted, "Hmph! You have nothing to say! I'm not in a relationship at all, as if you have something on me."

"That's true, having a crush doesn't count as being in a relationship."

"I'm not having a crush on anyone!" Tachibana Rin gritted her teeth.

Sometimes, she was really angry at Kubo Miyu's attitude. She didn't seem to know what kind of environment she lived in, had no consideration for her at all, and made sarcastic remarks.

"Anyway, what they meant was that I should keep in touch with you regularly, so you wouldn't get fooled by some smooth-talking Tokyo man."

"I'm not that stupid. Besides, can you call that glibness?"

"He couldn't say a single nice word for ages, he's just infuriating."

After saying that, she clenched her small fist and punched the pillow hard.

“I never said it was Tazaki-kun, you put it in your own head.”

"........."

"Anyway, I've delivered the message. Just be careful. If they come to Tokyo for a surprise inspection and catch you red-handed, I really won't be able to help you."
