Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Tazaki Toru suddenly had a look of realization.

"So, I was thinking... could Toru-kun be my practice helper?"

"sure."

As always, he never refused any of his requests.

So, Mika Takagi took out a box of ear-cleaning cotton swabs from under the coffee table, gently pursed her lips, and then covered half of her face with the script, only daring to show her eyes.

"That...ASMR, it's basically about setting up a scene, like a reading play, and playing the role of a character and saying lines. It mainly involves... well, the lines when cleaning your ears, breathing sounds, and licking sounds..."

"Some works involve things like licking ears, ah! But the ones I'm doing voice acting for aren't like that! They're all-inclusive works for all ages!"

She was very worried that Tazaki Toru would think she had taken on that kind of work.

Tazaki Toru's expression remained unchanged as he chuckled and said, "I know. If this can help you, of course I'm willing."

"But I've never cleaned anyone's ears before, from childhood to adulthood. Ears are a very important part of the body..."

"Huh? Do I need the voice actors to do it themselves?"

As an audio work, ASMR only requires voice actors to recite lines into a head-shaped microphone during the actual recording process.

However, this was the first time Mika Takagi had received this type of work, and having no experience, she could only immerse herself in the role.

Considering that she is a very dedicated and persistent girl, it's not surprising that she would have such thoughts.

"It's alright, I believe you, Miss Kohinata." Toru Tazaki deliberately addressed her by her voice actress name.

"Well……"

"The longer it's delayed, the more nervous you'll become."

"Um! I will do my best."

The girl took a deep breath, then solemnly assumed a sitting posture, straightened her skirt, and gently patted her thigh.

With her hands slightly outstretched, her face flushed, she dared not look at Tazaki Toru, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Please...please..."

Tazaki Toru glanced at the girl's legs, which were pressed together.

This probably means he should lie down on it, right?

“Knee, lap pillow, please,” she said again.

So, Tazaki Toru slowly pressed his head down. At first, it felt like resting his head on a water-filled balloon, but as Tazaki Toru gradually relaxed and stopped trying to tense his head, the feeling changed.

It was a pair of soft yet firm thighs.

It needs no embellishment or description, no "like," "as if," or "as," and it doesn't need to be compared to anything.

These are the thighs of a female voice actress.

Absolutely true.

The girl took out a cotton swab and gently scraped the outside of Tazaki Toru's ear with one end.

Sasasa... Sasasa...

After scraping like this for a long time, the cotton swab gradually entered Tazaki Toru's ear canal, but it only dared to stay near the entrance and did not dare to go any deeper.

"Tou-kun, how are you feeling?"

I heard Mika Takagi's slightly nervous voice in my ear.

Tazaki Toru closed her eyes and whispered, "I wish I could just sleep like this and die peacefully."

"Then I'm going to get arrested."

Tazaki Toru smiled, remaining comfortable without saying a word.

Gradually, she began to whisper softly in Tazaki Toru's ear with very gentle words.

She asked him if he was comfortable and how he was feeling, and kept calling his name.

"Tou-kun...Tou-kun..."

In ASMR scripts, there are no titles or appellations.

Perhaps it's for the sake of easy identification.

I don't know when it started, but Mika Takagi's voice disappeared.

Instead, there were only soft breathing sounds and occasional exhalations from her mouth.

"Hey~ Tou-kun, switch sides, turn your head around."

Tazaki Toru obediently turned around.

With my nose pressed against the girl's lower abdomen, I couldn't see her expression, but I could smell the fragrance emanating from her body, while the cotton swab spun back and forth inside her ear.

Enveloped in softness and sweetness, and having already sipped a few beers, Toru Tazaki couldn't resist the onslaught of sleepiness and quietly closed his eyes.

She called out Tazaki Toru's name several times in a row.

The only answer she received was the sound of a man's breathing.

suddenly.

She slowly lowered her head, her warm breath gently caressing Tazaki Toru's ear, as if trying to seep into his dream.

She took a slight breath.

"……like."

53. Ah, not coming home at night. (Seeking monthly votes)

In the quiet space, their soft breathing overlapped and gradually blended together, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.

The only sound in the air was the "shush-shush" of the cotton swab spinning inside her ear.

"……like."

As soon as she uttered those few syllables, she felt as if her mouth and nose were blocked, making it difficult to breathe, and her heart was pounding loudly.

Like her, Tazaki Toru's even breathing suddenly stopped, as if this had become a shared signal between them, and even the air surrounding them seemed to freeze.

The girl kept her head down, her mouth very close to Toru Tazaki's ear, which made her chest almost touching Toru Tazaki's head as well.

The thumping drumbeats left a lingering echo in Toru Tazaki's music track with each strike.

"Huh? Could it be that... Tou-kun, you're awake?" she managed to squeeze out the words.

"……Um."

Tazaki Toru slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was the girl's lower abdomen, so close that it seemed as if his eyelashes would brush against the fabric of her shirt if he blinked.

"Ah! That was... that was a character's line! Oh dear... these days, most ASMR is romance-related, hahaha..."

"It's completely out of my reach. You see, a country girl like me is completely unrelated to love and romance."

Mika Takagi hurriedly picked up the script that had been tossed aside somewhere, and flipped through a couple of pages at random. It was indeed filled with ambiguous confession lines.

"Tou-kun, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you believe me?"

"I was just sighing."

"sigh?"

Tazaki Toru turned his head slightly, resting his head on the girl's lap, his eyes revealing a serious gaze as he stared at Takagi Mika's face, which was flushed with a blush at some point.

"I am more delighted to see that your efforts have finally paid off than to see anything about myself."

Upon hearing this, the girl's face flushed even more, and incredibly, without any hesitation, she believed him completely.

"Toru-kun has completely become my number one fan."

Tazaki Toru raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Even though she was used to his smile, Mika Takagi was still too shy to look him in the eye.

She couldn't help but reach out and carefully place her fingers on the corner of his mouth. Seeing that Tazaki Toru did not resist, she gently pulled the corner of his mouth down.

The girl suddenly burst out laughing.

She thought that she, an ugly duckling who was ignored by everyone, could never have any interaction with a handsome and talented boy like Tazaki Toru.

Toru Tazaki once said that he was his little bear.

But for Mika Takagi, Toru Tazaki was more like her pumpkin carriage, her glass slipper.

It is the prince with whom we will have to part ways when the time limit is reached.

"Thank you. You are the first person in the world to be willing to support me. You are really great."

"I never said a word about supporting you personally."

"Hey~~ That's too much."

"If you switch to other female voice actresses in the future, you must remember to keep it a secret from me. Don't let me find out. I'm not smart, and I'm easy to fool."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I could cry for three days and three nights and still not recover."

After saying that, the two looked at each other for a long time, and then laughed at the same time.

Mika Takagi gently brushed aside the hair on Toru Tazaki's forehead, then turned him to the side and inserted the cotton swab into his ear again.

If she looked him in the eye, she would lose some of her courage and find it difficult to say certain things.

A long silence fell over the room.

It was as if time had suddenly come to life, stretched, bent, and filled with honey that the little bear loved, covering their little cabin.

"Hey, Tou-kun, do you still remember? Our dream."

"One day, I will stand on a shining stage and play the song written by Tou-kun."

"Aren't we one step closer to our dreams?"

Tazaki Toru did not respond.

"I'm sorry for arbitrarily linking our dreams together, even though Toru-kun also has his own dreams."

Putting away the cotton swab, the girl lowered her head and gently blew into Tazaki Toru's ear, carefully checking whether it was clean.
