Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Rin Tachibana was stunned.

Huh?

Did she really believe it?

So simple?

Are you really not going to pull my hair?

As Aoki Hina reached the top of the stairs, her hand just touching the handrail, she suddenly turned to look at Tachibana Rin.

Rin Tachibana sat up straight again.

Aoki Hina looked calmly at her best friend and gently parted her lips.

She's been through so much tonight.

From confessing his feelings to Toru Tazaki and receiving a response from Toru, to witnessing his best friend's concern and dependence on him.

Hina Aoki felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally, for the first time in a long time, and her mind was a complete mess.

"Rin-chan, whatever you think in your heart."

"There's only one thing... I hope you won't forget."

She spoke these words with utmost sincerity, but they left Tachibana Rin feeling extremely uncomfortable.

I know you like him, but do you have to warn me like this?

I had always intended to keep these feelings hidden for the rest of my life, and never let him know.

Why do you need to interfere?

Rin Tachibana kept waving her hands, as if she was chasing away a cat that was lying on the computer tower to keep warm and was affecting heat dissipation.

"I know, I know, you like him. I'm sick of hearing it. I've already told you I won't compete with you for him."

However, Hina Aoki shook her head slightly.

No.

"I wanted to tell you that no matter what happens in the future, no matter how my relationship with him becomes..."

"Rin-chan, you will always be my best friend."

"Only this point, I hope we share the same thoughts."

Sensing the sincerity and subtle sadness in Aoki Hina's tone, Tachibana Rin froze on the spot, staring blankly at Aoki Hina's gradually disappearing figure.

Rin Tachibana sat there for an unknown amount of time before silently pulling a cushion next to her and hugging it tightly with all her pent-up energy.

The girl hugged her pillow and collapsed onto the sofa, the pent-up frustration in her chest unable to be released.

What is she saying?

It's like they want me to rob it.

What if I actually believed it?

I'm going to believe your feigned composure, Oshima Haruna, and actually argue with you.

Is she really that confident?

The girl hugged the pillow tightly, staring blankly at the living room ceiling light. The halo of light was so bright that it was hard for her to open her eyes.

To say something like that would only make me start to have expectations.

I don't care what happens in the future.

If I actually believe what you say and go to tell him without explanation, asking him to come back to Osaka with me, you'll probably change your tune again.

Don't cry when you really lose.

Even if you kneel down and beg me, grab my collar and push me down the stairs, I still won't give him back to you... Just kidding.

No matter what Aoki Hina realized or said, she couldn't change Tachibana Rin's decision.

Rin Tachibana is such a stubborn girl.

The girl closed her eyes, blocking out the light from the overhead lamp, and murmured to herself:

"You idiot Hina, it's precisely because you're my best friend that I can't admit it..."

346. Are you talking to a female voice actress on the phone again?

Inside the music room on the second floor.

Tazaki Toru sat in front of the keyboard, his left hand, wrapped in gauze, hanging straight down, while his right hand slowly twirled a mechanical pencil.

Although he had promised Aoki Hina that he would write a new song for her, Tazaki Toru had no clue what to do and had only tentatively decided on a general direction.

Since the goal is to highlight the lead guitarist, a powerful electric guitar piece should naturally be written.

However, MyGO is a band without keyboards, so the electric guitar is very prominent and it's not difficult to write about it.

Even so, writing an original song from scratch is not something that can be done overnight.

Just then, my phone started buzzing.

Tazaki Toru glanced at the caller ID and wondered what day it was that so many female voice actresses were calling him.

After the call is connected.

"Hey."

"Ah... Good evening, Ms. Tazaki."

Good evening, Ms. Sasaki.

The caller was actually Riko Sasaki, the lead singer of Mujica.

Speaking of which, Toru Tazaki has been quite busy lately. Sasaki Riko had invited him to attend a roadshow, but he ultimately couldn't go.

"Sorry to bother you so late."

"It's alright."

Tazaki Toru spoke in a gentle tone, and even over the phone, one could feel the tenderness in his words.

Just like in March, the spring breeze blowing through the cherry trees in the courtyard brings a sense of comfort.

“Miss Sasaki, it’s so late and you’re still not resting. It’s bad for your voice.”

"If that's the case, then Mr. Tazaki isn't asleep yet either?"

"I'm tone-deaf to begin with, so I can't be that bad."

Ms. Sasaki couldn't help but chuckle and asked curiously, "Really?"

"It comes from the bottom of my heart, and compared to Miss Sasaki, everyone else pales in comparison."

If it were someone else, they might take such words as politeness or sarcasm.

But once it comes from Tazaki Toru's mouth, it subconsciously makes people feel that it is sincere, and it makes people feel extremely comfortable.

This greatly reduced the hesitation and worry she had before making the call.

When it comes to Toru Tazaki, he always presents a kind and gentle side to others when interacting with them, which creates this impression.

Just as Aoki Hina and Kubo Yayu once described him, he is a man who is oblivious to his own feelings.

They lack a clear understanding of how they are perceived by others.

Little did Toru Tazaki know that to the female voice actresses, his every word sounded like honey, a bear's favorite, smeared all over his vocal cords.

They all seemed eager to stick out their tongues and lick it to their hearts' content.

"I haven't heard Tazaki-sensei sing yet. Is it really as bad as you say?"

"Well... while there's some exaggeration involved, I haven't received any professional, systematic training, which means..."

Tazaki Toru thought for a while.

"It roughly fills the gap between professional singers and karaoke enthusiasts."

"What? That's...!"

Ms. Sasaki was amused and giggled.

Tazaki Toru smiled faintly, then asked, "Miss Sasaki, is there something you want to tell me so late?"

"Well... it's not really a big deal."

"Okay, there is something that is bothering me."

Hearing what Ms. Sasaki said, Toru Tazaki became somewhat curious.

"Tazaki-sensei, have you had any minor disagreements with Ha-chan, that is, Ms. Sonoda Yozuki?"

Ms. Sasaki spoke cautiously, afraid of displeasing Toru Tazaki.

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by what he heard, clearly not expecting Sasaki Riko to bring up that Ms. Sonoda.

"Minor friction?"

"Yes, if that's the case, please don't mind, Mr. Tazaki. Ha-chan is just a little stubborn, but she's actually a very gentle and kind girl."

Tazaki Toru thought for a long time, then shook his head and said:

"Please rest assured, nothing like that happened between me and Ms. Sonoda. Perhaps she simply misunderstood me."

In Tazaki Toru's eyes, the girl, Sora Yozuki, seemed eccentric and always wore a wary expression whenever she met him.

But considering that she was an incredibly beautiful and delicate girl, it's not entirely unreasonable for her to be so wary of men.

At most, it's just being overly sensitive.

More than that, Tazaki Toru was curious why Sasaki Riko would ask that question.

"Miss Sasaki, why are you suddenly bringing up Miss Sonoda?"

"Well, actually..."

So, Ms. Sasaki told Tazaki Toru what had happened that day.

It was probably after Sumimi finished her practice that she ran into the five members of MyGO at a family restaurant. The seven young female voice actresses sat down and chatted together.
