Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"If that's what you mean, then I feel the same way."

"I was also extremely nervous."

"I'm worried that if I say something like that, you'll think I'm a frivolous girl."

Tazaki Toru had a faint smile on her lips, and her brows were full of gentleness.

“I never thought Mika was that kind of girl.”

A moment later, Mika Kohinata slowly raised her head, her long, narrow eyes seemingly only able to hold the man in front of her.

The girl inhaled slowly, her gentle voice, though endearing, carried a hint of unwavering resolve.

"I have never done this to anyone else."

"Tou-kun is the only boy who has ever entered my house besides my family."

"I think that I will never have any boy other than Tou-kun enter my house in the future."

"Are you so sure?"

"Because, to me, Tou-kun is someone no one can compare to..."

"It's one of a kind."

The lead singer is 325.14 years old.

The next day, early in the morning.

Tazaki Toru slowly opened his eyes, and what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

As soon as I sat up, I turned my head slightly and saw the girl sleeping on her side.

At this moment, she is breathing evenly and softly, her long eyelashes obediently closed.

This ordinary, simple face, once you get used to it, exudes a kind of youthful and unpretentious charm.

For some reason, seeing the girl's peaceful and serene sleeping face, Tazaki Toru felt as if something inside him had been soothed.

This made him involuntarily reveal a slight smile.

At that very moment, the girl in front of him, still asleep, trembled slightly with her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyelids.

The moment he opened his eyes, he met the gaze of Toru Tazaki on the floor beside the bed.

She looked dazed, still half-asleep, her eyes glazed over. She seemed to vaguely see Toru Tazaki and let out a low, raspy sound, typical of someone just waking up.

"Toru...kun?"

Good morning, Meijia.

Tazaki Toru's smile remained unchanged.

The girl blinked her hazy eyes, seemingly wondering why she could see Toru Tazaki as soon as she opened them.

His eyelids closed rapidly, his gaze gradually brightened, and the memories of last night resurfaced in his mind.

Mika Kohinata suddenly felt a sense of panic, her eyes darting around, unsure of where to look.

Then, she lifted a corner of the blanket and shyly covered her face.

Her bright eyes lingered on Tazaki Toru with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, as if Tazaki Toru would disappear if she didn't stare at her like that.

"Good morning... good morning, Tou-kun."

"It should still be early. I'll go wash up and prepare breakfast. Meijia can sleep a little longer."

"I... I'm not that kind of lazybones. I should change my clothes after you leave," the girl said.

Tazaki Toru smiled faintly, got up and left the bedroom.

Upon entering the living room, the next room was remarkably quiet.

Tazaki Toru breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that they might continue fighting early in the morning.

The weather is exceptionally good today; it's probably the sunniest day of March.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, the two went out together to the station.

Tazaki Toru has to go to Toei for a composition meeting today. He slept very well last night, so he looks great today.

On the contrary, Mika Kohinata was still a little dazed at this moment.

This is most likely related to Tazaki Toru.

Last night, after Tazaki Toru fell asleep on his own, she was restless and couldn't sleep for a long time, tossing and turning in bed.

In her not-so-bright little head, she was filled with fantasies about whether she should half-heartedly resist or just give in if Tazaki Toru were to unleash his beastly nature.

In short, these chaotic thoughts kept her awake until the latter half of the night, and her mood gradually calmed down when she saw that Tazaki Toru was sleeping soundly.

While inwardly blaming herself for being such a fool, she finally managed to fall asleep peacefully.

Arriving at the station.

"Mika, should we go to the agency first?"

"Hmm." The girl said, counting on her pretty fingers:

"I have to go to the agency in the morning to report for work and have a meeting with my agent. At noon, I have to rush to the recording studio to rehearse with everyone from MyGO."

"After rehearsals, there's a stage play audition, and afterwards I'll work part-time at an izakaya. I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the final broadcast."

She looked quite troubled.

Tazaki Toru secretly admired her diligence.

"If you're this busy, how about quitting your part-time job at an izakaya or family restaurant?"

“That won’t do. I’ve already quit my job at the convenience store, how can I reduce my workload further?”

"But if you ruin your health by being too busy, and that leads to poor performance in the band and stage plays, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"

"Well……"

Mika Kohinata understood that Toru Tazaki's words made sense.

Feeling Tazaki Toru's concerned gaze, Kohinata Mika silently lowered her head: "I'll think about it."

"Ah."

"Ah... the train is here, Toru-kun, I'll be going now."

"Be careful on the road."

Stepping into the carriage, the girl raised her arm and waved lightly at Tazaki Toru.

After Mika Kohinata boarded the train, Toru Tazaki waited alone for a long time before boarding the train in the opposite direction from Mika Kohinata.

Upon arriving at his destination, Tazaki Toru easily took the elevator upstairs, showed his identification at the front desk, and entered the office area without any hindrance.

Tazaki Toru has always been a punctual man; whether it's business or personal matters, he's always the one who waits for others.

Soon after, all the participants in the composition meeting arrived, exchanged pleasantries, and then began their work for the day.

Composition meetings are usually tedious and lengthy, with discussions that seem endless.

As a composer, Tazaki Toru often has little say, since, from his perspective, he is the one responsible for producing the music.

The director and screenwriter are the clients, and everything must be based on the musical effect they are pursuing.

However, writing songs for girl bands has become Toru Tazaki's trademark.

Itazaki Toru's talent always allowed him to write songs that satisfied them.

Unlike Ms. Ayana, who was in charge of writing the script for MyGO, she poured almost all her heart and soul into the work, and you could feel her personality in the work.

The teacher I'm collaborating with this time, Mr. Hanada, is a man who looks very composed.

How should I put it? A sense of "professionalism" emanates from them.

It is said that this screenwriter can be responsible for writing the scripts of multiple works simultaneously in one quarter.

In a sense, he could also be called the "King of Scrolls".

The biggest advantage of working with such people is that they are very clear about the effect they want to achieve and can express their needs clearly in writing.

As for Ayana, the screenwriter of MyGO, although her writing is inspired, she often becomes emotionally unstable halfway through a meeting.

Even more so, inspiration may strike during discussions, leading them to ignore the meeting and start typing away on their own.

If the supervisor tries to reason with her, she will glare back at him with eyes that seem to want to kill him.

Perhaps for this reason, whenever a meeting goes on for too long, the staff brings out snacks as a gesture of appreciation and reward.

The dessert fork handed to Ayana was always made of plastic.

As the meeting was drawing to a close, there was a sudden knock on the meeting room door, and two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the doorway.

"Hello, teachers. I've brought Miss Li Ming here for her audition today. Please take good care of her."

The adult woman was probably the agent, and the little girl standing next to her nodded timidly, her voice very reserved: "Nice to meet you."

She wasn't very tall, about the same height as Hina Aoki, but her face still had a childlike innocence, and you could clearly tell that she was still a child who hadn't grown up.

Tazaki Toru had met this 14-year-old lead singer a few times, and only knew that she would sing the song he wrote this time.

As for how good her singing is, Toru Tazaki has not yet heard it in person.

326. Little Sister: I'm here to roast lamb.

After the meeting, Toru Tazaki did not leave immediately, but went to the recording studio on another floor.

Today is Ms. Yuri's solo audition.

Mr. Tamai, who was in charge of the music, said it was a rare opportunity and invited Toru Tazaki to stay and listen to the lead singer's performance.

Tazaki Toru was naturally interested and did not refuse.

We arrived at the sound room.

Through the large transparent glass, you can see the little girl from before, now standing in the empty recording studio.

For some reason, when she communicated with people, she always kept her head down, dared not make eye contact, and was timid and cowardly as a mouse.
