Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"My ears are very sharp. I can tell whether Miss Yang Gong has rested or not as soon as she opens her mouth."

"Tazaki-sensei, you don't trust me at all."

Tazaki Toru slowly shook his head: "It is precisely because I believe that Miss Hitomiya is an honest and hardworking person that I have repeatedly given her this instruction."

“But then I’ll have nothing to do.” Miss Yang Gong looked troubled.

"Nothing to do?"

"That's right. If I can't sing or do voiceovers, am I just supposed to stare at the ceiling all day long? That's something only idiots do."

"I don't want to be a fool."

It turned out to be the case.

They want to get something in return.

To be honest, Toru Tazaki doesn't reject this approach.

Dealing with a young girl like her requires a superior attitude, so Toru Tazaki decided to listen to what she had to say.

"So, according to Miss Yang Gong, what should I do to keep you from getting bored?"

"Eh?"

Seemingly surprised by Tazaki Toru's quick response, she was momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

Tazaki Toru was not in a hurry. He stood calmly in place and waited quietly.

After a long while, the girl, slightly uneasy, intertwined her ten slender fingers together in front of her chest.

The nails were neatly trimmed, without any unnecessary decorations, not even nail polish.

She looked up at Toru Tazaki and slowly said, "Tazaki-sensei, can you take responsibility for me?"

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by what he said, not understanding its meaning, and his eyes immediately became filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Immediately, Yang Gongfei realized that her words were indeed ambiguous and hurriedly waved her hand: "That's not what I meant!"

She took a deep breath before saying, "Since I came to Tokyo and became a voice actress, I have never dared to let my guard down."

"I know I don't have much talent, so I can only work harder to become the person I aspire to be."

"But now that you're telling me not to work so hard, I suddenly feel lost."

"They granted me leave without my consent, leaving me with nothing to do."

Suddenly, the girl gasped nervously, and something seemed to be overflowing from the depths of her brown pupils, as if she wanted to swallow him whole.

"Tazaki-sensei, would you like to come with me?"

"Together?"

"Since it's a rare holiday, I racked my brains and it seems I've come up with a place I want to go."

"So I thought... I thought..."

She stammered, unable to finish her sentence.

Tazaki Toru remained silent for a moment.

Seeing that he remained silent, the girl shrank back and asked cautiously, "Teacher Tazaki, don't you want to?"

The brief silence made her feel a little anxious.

“I understand. If Miss Yang Gong doesn’t find my nagging annoying, I’m happy to oblige.”

"Huh? Really? Really?"

Tazaki Toru nodded silently.

He has recently encountered a bottleneck in writing lyrics.

Since this song was written for MyGO, I might take this opportunity to go out with the lead singer and find inspiration for the lyrics.

Hina Hiyomiya didn't have high expectations, thinking that someone as busy as Toru Tazaki was rarely seen in the recording studio.

Why would they specifically set aside time to deal with a lead singer who only ranks second?

Huh?

Could it be that I'm not actually the second one?

Or is it number one?

314. Sister Yang's baseball bat.

After parting ways with Himeko Hina, Tazaki Toru took the train back to Tsukishima.

The two female voice actresses were unusually not practicing in the music room today.

After all, Tachibana Rin had just recovered from a serious illness, and high-intensity training would only backfire, just like the situation of Himegami Hina.

The only difference is that Tachibana Rin is a girl who understands that once she reaches her limit, she will actively have the idea of ​​retreating.

Regarding music.

The same applies to men.

In contrast, Yang Gongfei is more like the stubborn type who will not turn back even after hitting a wall.

In short, each has its own troubles.

By now, Toru Tazaki has long been accustomed to encountering girls with troublesome personalities, interacting with them, and getting entangled with them.

I can't say I enjoy it, but I'm fairly good at it.

Tazaki Toru returned to his bedroom and had just hung his coat on the hanger when a message popped up on his phone from Himegami Hina.

The above details the specific time and place for tomorrow's meeting.

She's still a little girl at heart; she says she doesn't want to rest, but that doesn't seem to be entirely true.

Tazaki Toru chuckled helplessly and shook his head, replying, "Understood."

The message was marked as read less than a second after it was sent.

dong dong dong-

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Tazaki Toru opened the door, and standing in the doorway was a girl wearing a light nightgown, none other than Aoki Hina.

"Tazaki-kun, Rin-chan and I have finished showering, it's your turn now."

"I see."

By now, Toru Tazaki has long been accustomed to soaking in the leftover bathwater from female voice actresses' baths.

He may have felt awkward at first, but after living together for nearly a year, he no longer has any resistance and even takes it for granted.

Habits are truly terrifying.

Hina Aoki remained standing at the door, motionless.

"Miss Aoki, is there something else you want to say to me?"

"Hmm... I guess so."

Hearing what Aoki Hina said, Tazaki Toru stepped aside to let Aoki Hina in to speak.

But Hina Aoki shook her head and remained standing at the entrance.

"Tazaki-kun, have you noticed anything about Rin-chan's condition lately?"

"Miss Tachibana? What happened to her?"

"Ah... could it be that she hasn't fully recovered yet?"

Tazaki Toru subconsciously connected the dots to Tachibana Rin's physical condition.

However, Aoki Hina seemed not to be talking about this, silently observing Tazaki Toru's expression.

Hina Aoki knew all too well what kind of man Tazaki Toru was.

If their relationship had truly changed, given Tazaki Toru's personality, he probably wouldn't have deliberately hidden it.

However, Toru Tazaki's expression remained normal, which made Hina Aoki secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"No, I was just asking casually. She's been practicing the piano extra diligently lately. I thought Tazaki-kun had promised her some kind of reward, which is why she's working so hard."

"I'm worried that she'll cause you trouble again and disturb your peace."

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Although Ms. Tachibana has those kinds of moments occasionally, she is actually very serious about her work, which I admire."

Tazaki Toru's words were, of course, completely from the heart, without a trace of falsehood.

This is why Aoki Hina's eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a complex emotion that Tazaki Toru could not understand.

"Yeah, I know Rin-chan is that kind of girl."

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you any longer, Tazaki-kun. Goodnight."

"Yes, goodnight, Miss Aoki."

Watching Aoki Hina's departing figure, Tazaki Toru felt a slight unease, sensing that Aoki Hina seemed to have something on her mind.

But he couldn't quite put his finger on where this feeling came from.

……

……

The next day.

The two girls left for work early, with Toru Tazaki being the last to leave home, heading to the place he had arranged to meet with Hinata Hitomi.

He had already spoken to Mr. Fujita yesterday, noting that he had noticed that Hina Hitomi's voice was not suitable for continued practice.

Mr. Fujita has always had unwavering faith in Toru Tazaki, and he always listens to Toru Tazaki's opinions on any arrangements concerning the two bands.

The idea of ​​deliberately letting the lead singer rest and then going out on a date with him is absolutely impossible.

It seems that these girls who went to Tokyo to study and work all have a strange common problem: they always like to meet in Shibuya on their days off.
