Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"She's good-looking and has a good personality. She's the kind of person who would be popular anywhere, but all she can think about is getting me and Tazaki into bed together."

"?"

This is truly a reversal of the natural order.

Hina Aoki was so angry she laughed, and simply stopped paying attention to her.

"Alright, it's getting late. Go get some rest. You have band practice tomorrow afternoon after you get back to Tokyo."

Upon hearing that there would be rehearsals when she returned tomorrow, Tachibana Rin's face fell.

These two precious days of rest didn't give her a chance to catch her breath at all. She even had to go on a blind date for no reason and didn't get any benefits.

She wouldn't have bothered going back to Osaka if it weren't for spending time with Hina Aoki.

……

……

The next day.

Tazaki Toru got up early and boarded the Shinkansen back to Tokyo with the rest of the group.

The concert was a great success, without any mishaps from beginning to end, and Tazaki Toru can be considered to have made a successful retirement.

Sitting on the train with Mr. Fujinaga, Toru Tazaki, just like before, listlessly gazed at the scenery rushing past the window.

"Um, Tazaki-kun."

Tazaki Toru turned to look at Mr. Fujinaga.

"This concert was only possible because of you."

Tazaki Toru smiled faintly and shook his head slightly: "Since I've taken on this job, it's naturally my duty."

Mr. Fujinaga touched his nose slightly, seemingly trying to pretend it was unintentional, but Toru Tazaki still noticed something amiss.

"Mr. Fujinaga, is there something else you want to say to me?"

Upon hearing this, Fujinaga coughed lightly, his thick eyebrows furrowing and then relaxing.

"I wonder if you have any other work plans, Tazaki-kun?"

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and said, "I still have some unfinished pieces to work on, so I should focus on composing when I get back."

"besides?"

"My main job is composing music. If I had to say something else, I really couldn't think of anything else right now."

Fujinaga's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "Then, Tazaki-kun, how about you become a resident musician with us from now on?"

Tazaki Toru was taken aback at first, then showed a puzzled expression.

"Ms. Minase's music team should have no shortage of keyboardists, right?"

After all, Ms. Minase's music team is a band that has been working together for many years. This time, it was only because the incident happened suddenly that Toru Tazaki joined temporarily.

"Furthermore, I don't want to stir up trouble and cause other people's bands to break up."

Fujinaga couldn't help but chuckle: "We have more than just Ms. Minase here. Recently, Ms. Ogura and Mr. Totsuka in the company have been looking for a reliable keyboardist. Why don't I recommend you give it a try?"

"Of course, I don't expect you to agree immediately, but I think it's a viable path. You're still young, Tazaki-kun, and if you want to make a name for yourself in the industry..."

“Taking on more work in this area, getting to know more people in the industry, and building connections would not be a bad thing for you.”

Tazaki Toru could sense that both Fujita and Fujinaga were genuinely considering his career path and did not want a young man like him to be overlooked.

Tazaki Toru was deeply grateful for this.

However, his mindset remained unchanged, or rather, unwavering.

A refusal without thinking will always give the impression of arrogance, especially when the other party is a close friend of your boss.

He understood in his heart what constituted proper social skills for a qualified adult.

But Toru Tazaki is ultimately a man who refuses to lie.

If he were to feign agreement here and say he would go back to consider it, it would only create more expectation in the other party, which is really not in line with his personality.

Most importantly, Toru Tazaki didn't want these people who were genuinely kind to him to reveal their hypocrisy.

Once you do that kind of thing, there's probably no going back.

Instead of immediately refusing, Tazaki Toru said, "It is said that Mr. Fujinaga has been Ms. Minase's music producer since her debut as a singer."

"The transition from voice actor to singer must have involved a lot of hard work,"

"Don't let her current seasoned experience fool you; she was quite inexperienced back then."

"Mr. Fujinaga must be very proud."

"To be honest, that's true."

Tazaki Toru took a shallow, deep breath.

"I am very grateful for Mr. Fujinaga's recognition, but I am the kind of person who can hold multiple positions, but it is difficult for me to devote myself to them wholeheartedly."

More importantly.

"I seem to prefer being offstage rather than playing the piano on stage."

"Perhaps one day in the future, I may have the idea of ​​standing on the stage again, but at least for now, like Mr. Fujinaga, I have someone in my heart whom I want to make shine on the stage."

"I want to focus on their dreams and pave the way for them with the songs I write."

"Therefore I am very sorry that I cannot accept your invitation."

Mr. Fujinaga sighed deeply, and his gaze toward Toru Tazaki was filled with complex emotions.

"Tasaki-kun, has anyone ever told you that you speak so succinctly that I have no way to persuade you otherwise?"

Tazaki Toru smiled faintly and said, "Yes."

403. Some people know they are being ostracized.

After returning to Tokyo.

The two girls had just come out of the station and were dragging their suitcases to the recording studio for today's MyGO rehearsal.

Also carrying travel bags were Hinami Hina and Mika Kohinata.

Kobayashi Koko, who was the last to arrive, was puzzled by everyone's large and small bags and felt a little worried.

These people probably ostracized her and went on a trip together.

If that were the case, she would be really sad and upset.

When it came time for rehearsal, Kobayashi Koko, who was sitting at the back of the group, keenly noticed that the members seemed to be acting strangely.

What to say.

If it was because she hadn't been able to get back into shape after resting for two days, she could understand.

What's unusual is that these women's mental state also seems different from before.

Putting everything else aside, the lead singer, Ms. Yang Gong, for some reason, forgot the lyrics and sang off-key today.

If Mr. Fujita were here today, he would definitely come to check on her to see if she had eaten something bad and ruined her health.

The other three weren't much better off; they were all distracted and their minds weren't on playing the piano at all.

Even Mika Kohinata, who is usually very stable, started playing in a completely off-key manner.

On the contrary, Tachibana Rin became the most stable player throughout the game.

This extremely strange and abnormal phenomenon, combined with the fact that these people were carrying large and small bags, made Kobayashi Koko increasingly convinced that her guess was correct.

She might have really been ostracized by the band members.

After the rehearsal ended, the members didn't interact much and quickly went home.

Kobayashi Koko seized the opportunity and grabbed the slow-moving Yang Gongfei.

"Hey, little lamb."

"Well……"

Yang Gongfei raised her face blankly, casually picked up her travel bag, and hooked the shoulder strap with her finger.

The slightly curved lines of her chest were made even more noticeable by the backpack straps.

However, compared to the drummer in front of her, she was far inferior.

Fortunately, Miss Yang is not very sensitive in this regard, so she doesn't feel envious or inferior.

"What's wrong with you guys today? Why did you bring so much luggage to the recording studio?"

"Eh?"

Yang Gongfei tilted her head, then suddenly realized what was going on.

"No, I just got off the Shinkansen and rushed here to participate in practice. I didn't go home."

Kobayashi Koko's face grew increasingly grim.

They really did go on a group trip!

Yang Gongfei seemed preoccupied and didn't notice Kobayashi Koko's disappointed expression.

Kobayashi Koko forced herself to stay alert and tried hard not to let her emotions show on her face.

"Little Lamb, you don't seem to be in good spirits today. What happened?"

Kobayashi didn't dare to ask too directly, fearing that the answer would hurt him, so he beat around the bush.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had argued with the other band members while they were traveling together.

Mika-chan and Hinata-chan also looked like they weren't feeling too well.

Although Hina Aoki is good at hiding her true feelings, she can only control her facial expressions, while the sound of the koto does not lie.

Kobayashi Koko thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.

Ah! It must be!

After being invited, the little sheep arrived only to find that he was the only drummer missing. So he insisted on bringing himself along, despite everyone's objections, but was blocked. He ended up fighting three opponents and parted on bad terms.
