Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

316. Train Miss Yanggong to have the voice I like.

Tazaki Toru stood in front of the claw machine and inserted a coin.

The transparent barrier of the claw machine vaguely reflected the figures of the two people standing together.

Yang Gongfei's cheeks were still flushed, feeling that what she had done earlier was really embarrassing.

She couldn't understand it either. In that situation, anyone would have put the coin in Tazaki Toru's hand, but why did she have such a brain fart and just hand it over?

This completely stumped Toru Tazaki, leaving him frozen in place for several seconds.

Fortunately, Toru Tazaki did not laugh at her or make fun of the matter, otherwise she would probably have had to keep bowing and apologizing before finally fleeing in embarrassment.

Tazaki Toru manipulated the mechanical rocker arm to sway and land, flashing past the sheep doll she had her eye on.

The mechanical rocker arm precisely hooked the tag on the sheep doll's head. The sheep doll, sleeping among a group of dolls, was as if its horns had been caught by a rein thrown far away by a skilled cowboy, and it naturally rose into the air and fell into the exit.

The whole process was effortless.

"Wow! They actually caught it!"

Beside her, Himegami Hinata kept tiptoeing and jumping, her fingers involuntarily clenching Tazaki Toru's sleeve.

Her round, smiling face was slightly flushed with excitement.

Tazaki Toru bent down, took out the doll, and handed it to the girl.

The girl was taken aback at first, but when she confirmed that Tazaki Toru's gentle gaze was indeed directed at her, she happily reached out and hugged the doll to her chest.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch to the left.

Miss Hitomi's eyes sparkled with curiosity: "Teacher Tazaki, could it be that you practiced this specifically?"

It was just luck.

The girl couldn't tell if this was another instance of Toru Tazaki being modest, so she could only apologize to him from the bottom of her heart.

"Thank you! I will cherish this for the rest of my life!"

Tazaki Toru wondered why the female voice actresses he knew always seemed to have "forever" on their lips.

"It was nothing, Miss Yang, you don't need to take it to heart."

However, the girl shook her head at that moment.

"This is the first time someone has ever given me a prize from a claw machine, and I will absolutely, absolutely cherish it!"

"Thank you. I have a feeling... I can work hard again starting tomorrow."

Tazaki Toru actually wanted to say that it couldn't really be considered a gift from him, since it was paid for by Himegami Hina.

If such a statement could bring her joy and become a slight motivation for her to continue her efforts, Tazaki Toru would not have gone out of his way to say something so unromantic.

"It's good to work hard, but you also need to pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Miss Yang, have you forgotten that it was because you worked too hard that you had to take a day off today?"

"Hmm... Oh right, I forgot, hehe~~" The girl scratched her head sheepishly.

Now, Toru Tazaki roughly understands what kind of girl Hina Hitomi is.

Although getting along with her can be a bit tiring, and sometimes I feel a strange pressure.

Generally speaking, she is a girl with a good heart and not very scheming.

Tazaki Toru doesn't mind interacting with girls like that.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Tazaki Toru really loved her unpolished voice.

If one can mold it into the song in Toru Tazaki's heart according to one's own ideas, it would be a rare and fortunate thing for the creator.

Miss Yang held her beloved doll, her upturned lips lingering in the air, her beautiful brown eyes sparkling like a lake scorching in the summer sun.

"Actually, I have so many dolls at home that I can hardly fit them all. They are all placed side by side on the headboard. When I wake up in the morning, there may be some children that have been pushed off by my sleeping position."

"Even so, I am still very happy, feeling like I have another family member. Thank you so much."

How many times will this girl thank me before she'll finally give up?

Even though it was a trivial matter in Tazaki Toru's eyes—a thank you that was a luxury—she was so persistent in doing so.

Or is it that this girl, Yang Gongfei Na, is truly composed entirely of "persistence"?

While it is admirable, one can't help but feel that she is too heavy-hearted.

……

……

After leaving the game center, Toru Tazaki and Hina Hitomiya walked side by side to the station.

Unbeknownst to us, the sun in the distant sky slowly began to sink.

Golden sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling the ground and casting shadows.

A gentle breeze caressed the girl's soft cheeks, and this tender touch reminded her of the time she had touched his hand without permission.

It carries the gentle fragrance of spring.

Upon arriving at the station, the two were about to part ways.

"Miss Yang Gong, please continue to rest tomorrow as well, and go to the band rehearsal the day after tomorrow."

Tazaki Toru still seemed worried about her persistence and stubbornness, and repeatedly gave her instructions.

The girl blinked, a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Will Ms. Tazaki go out with me tomorrow?"

"It's a real shame that I'm not so idle as to not work for two consecutive days."

Although she had already guessed it, Yang Gongfei still felt somewhat disappointed.

Perhaps unable to bear seeing Miss Hitomi's disappointed and melancholy expression, Toru Tazaki sighed softly and said:

"To be honest, I'm currently composing a new song. One of the reasons I went out with Ms. Yang today is because I've encountered a creative block and wanted to go out to find some inspiration."

Upon hearing this, Miss Yang asked bluntly, "Did you find it?"

"Yes, thanks to Miss Yang Gong, I have some new ideas."

Miss Hitomi was initially delighted, feeling immense joy that she could help Toru Tazaki.

But then his expression slowly hardened, and after thinking for a long time, he cautiously asked:

"...Is this a song I'm going to sing?!"

She was terrified of hearing the names of other lead singers from Tazaki Toru.

Tazaki Toru is writing songs for many girl bands, an undeniable fact that Hina Hitomi can only accept silently.

But at the very least, she wanted to be the lead singer among these bands who could best meet his expectations.

She wanted him to truly feel that it was a wonderful idea for her, Yang Gongfei Na, to sing this song.

Faced with the fearful and uneasy look in Hina's eyes, Toru Tazaki's smile seemed to coalesce into an invisible, tangible force, slowly smoothing away the melancholy between her brows, and then gently patting her head.

"It's you who sings it."

"Therefore, Miss Yang Gong, please don't overwork yourself when you get back, otherwise the rehearsal date for the new song will have to be postponed."

"Yes! I will definitely be a good girl." Yang Gongfei nodded her round face emphatically, revealing a very determined look in her eyes.

Tazaki Toru only saw this expression on her face when she participated in band practice.

“That’s a good kid,” Toru Tazaki said with a light laugh.

Ah... I've been praised again.

The girl thought to herself with unbridled joy.

317. Their kisses always happened late at night, and were always unexpected.

evening.

Tazaki Toru returned to Tsukishima, but the two female voice actresses had not yet gone home.

After a long absence, he went to the music room on the second floor, sat in his familiar spot, took a deep breath, and began composing and writing lyrics.

Once I close my eyes, I can picture Miss Aries's unforgettable round face and her distinctive breathing as she speaks.

Just as Toru Tazaki once told her, Hina Hitomiya is a vocalist who is destined not to be liked by everyone.

Her disadvantages are too obvious.

From the perspective of a professional like Toru Tazaki, Hina Hiyomiya's skill level is absolutely insufficient to qualify her as a lead vocalist in a band.

Not to mention being compared to a talented singer like Ms. Sasaki.

But Toru Tazaki fantasizes about another possibility: he wants to present the untapped gem of Hinamiya, without any carving or polishing, on the stage in its original form.

Among a dazzling array of precious jewels, there is an inconspicuous little pebble.

If that were the case, anyone would probably be attracted to her for at least a second.

Tazaki Toru was eagerly anticipating that scene.

While imagining them performing on stage, my fingers tirelessly played out a rapid melody.

Even the two female voice actresses, after finishing their work and returning home, pushed open the door to the music room.

Tazaki Toruya was completely oblivious to their presence, still fully immersed in his own creation.

Standing at the door, Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana exchanged a glance, closed the door, and quietly left.

For three consecutive days.

Tazaki Tooru stayed behind closed doors.

Apart from sleeping, going to the toilet, and eating necessary foods to prevent his body from becoming too weak, Toru Tazaki was always working at his desk from morning till night.

The two female voice actresses in the family were already used to Toru Tazaki's state; he couldn't stop until the song was completely finished.

Therefore, no one said anything to disturb them.

……

……

That day.
