Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

So, only Kubo's parents and Tazaki Toru remained in the living room, staring at each other in bewilderment.

Even Tazaki Toru couldn't help but feel a subtle awkwardness in the situation.

Tazaki Toru met Kubo's mother's scrutiny without flinching, his face still bearing a gentle, polite smile.

"Mr. Tazaki, do you have any explanation for this?"

"To my shame, a similar incident happened once before, so I'm not particularly surprised at the moment."

"Oh?"

"Last year, when Ms. Miyu Kubo came to visit, they both used the same excuse. Although I explained it to Ms. Miyu Kubo afterward, the reason for it ultimately came from me."

"I hope you won't blame them."

Kubo's mother fell silent upon hearing this, only feeling that Tazaki Toru spoke in an orderly manner and remained calm in the face of adversity, giving the impression that he had received a good education from a young age.

Not long after, Tachibana Rin returned to the living room with Aoki Hina.

Hina Aoki quickly bowed at a 90-degree angle, apologizing and making amends in one smooth motion.

Rin Tachibana, standing beside him, forced a smile and tried to smooth things over.

After an explanation, Kubo's mother's complexion gradually improved.

However, it's now confirmed that Hina Aoki is a liar.

Considering that she was trying to protect Tachibana Rin, Kubo's mother did not blame her, but instead looked at Tazaki Toru silently.

She kept observing the young man, and even when Hina Aoki suddenly interrupted and talked nonsense, he didn't show any panic.

If one is not extremely skilled at sweet talk and confident in persuading them, then one is at peace with oneself.

Having been in business for so many years, I've finally developed some insight.

Based on Tazaki Toru's previous behavior, he is probably just as he said, with a clear conscience.

“Mingyou, you should go back to your rooms first. Let us have a private talk with Mr. Tazaki.”

"Eh?"

Rin Tachibana glanced at Toru Tazaki, and still forced herself to say, "It's okay, I can listen in."

The mother didn't speak, just stared at Tachibana Rin without saying a word.

Rin Tachibana shuddered, and Hina Aoki gently tugged at her sleeve.

In the end, the two girls had no choice but to go upstairs in silence.

Rin Tachibana kept turning back to look at Toru Tazaki.

Tazaki Toru smiled to indicate that she didn't need to worry.

After the two girls left, Kubo's mother shed her previous sternness and looked at Tazaki Toru with a very gentle gaze, softly saying, "Mr. Tazaki, please sit down."

"Thank you."

……

……

On the second floor, in Tachibana Rin's bedroom.

Aoki Hina, unusually, hung her head, looking dejected.

Rin Tachibana leaned silently against the door, pressing her ear against it, trying to hear the conversation on the first floor.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"I'm sorry, I messed up this time."

Hearing Aoki Hina's self-reproachful voice, Tachibana Rin glanced at her silently.

Of course not, whose fault is it if not yours?

And you still have the nerve to say "this time"?

When have you ever succeeded?

However, before she could finish speaking, Tachibana Rin could only wave her hand and say, "Alright, what's the point of saying all this now?"

Hina Aoki lay on the bed, turned over, buried her face in the pillow, and looked extremely frustrated.

Tachibana Rin's face darkened. She certainly knew how to choose; Tazaki Toru had slept on that pillow last night.

He cursed inwardly that the woman was hopeless.

However, Tachibana Rin did not stop her behavior. After all, if we were to investigate, she had slept in the same bed with Tazaki Toru last night.

It's perfectly reasonable to let Sister Yang have a sip of soup right now.

Rin Tachibana sat down on the edge of the bed, patted Hina Aoki's slightly upturned buttocks, and said helplessly:

"Okay, that's enough. If you want to cry, go back to your room."

Hina Aoki turned her face away: "I didn't cry, I'm just a little angry with myself. If your parents force Tazaki-kun to move out because of me, I'll really be too ashamed to face him."

"We've had Tazaki-kun living in our house for so long, but we haven't made any real progress with him. If he just moves out like this, wouldn't all of our efforts over the past year have been for nothing?"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have been more proactive."

Rin Tachibana felt extremely guilty upon hearing this.

I'm sorry, Yang-jie, you were the one who didn't take the initiative, so don't include me in this.

Of course, at this critical juncture, if Aoki Hina were to learn what Tachibana Rin had secretly done to Tazaki Toru, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

Rin Tachibana couldn't think of anything to comfort her, so she could only gently pat Hina Aoki's back, trying to offer her a little comfort.

"Alright, things are already like this, let's leave it to Tazaki. He's not a talkative person usually, but he's quite reliable when it matters. Maybe he can really convince my parents."

Hina Aoki didn't answer, but just nodded silently. Then she turned her head away and continued to keep a sullen face, looking like a lost cat that had just been pulled out of the water.

"Actually, I think my parents probably don't dislike him."

Suddenly, Tachibana Rin spoke.

"Look, if you hadn't suddenly caused trouble, my parents would have already agreed. Now they know it was a misunderstanding, and you've apologized."

"Logically speaking, they shouldn't keep harping on this topic."

"What if Tazaki-kun changes his mind? You know what kind of person he is. He'll definitely take the blame for my helpless lie and might start to think that he's no longer good to us."

What kind of strange idea is this?

Rin Tachibana felt that Hina Aoki's statement was completely unreasonable.

This may be because there is a difference in their opinions about Tazaki Toru.

Hina Aoki always regarded Toru Tazaki as a flawless gentleman, and wished she could deify him.

However, in Tachibana Rin's view, even Tazaki Toru had his own selfish motives.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told his parents that he wanted to stay and live there.

"Speaking of which, Japanese food..."

Hina Aoki's face was still buried in the pillow, her voice sounding as if filtered through a muffled layer: "Hmm?"

"How long do you want to keep smelling it?"

"Never mind that. You had your fun last night, but what about me?"

I knew she would say that.

Suddenly, Tachibana Rin realized that this couldn't go on, and said, "If you're really that worried, let's go eavesdrop."

Hina Aoki suddenly raised her head, her beautiful pupils trembling wildly. After a moment, she made up her mind and jumped off the bed.

"go!"

474. Sister Yang, I'm not really going to become her mistress, am I?

First floor, in the living room.

Tazaki Toru carried the kettle and poured tea for Kubo's parents.

Thinking that her parents had arrived, she felt quite helpless as the girl didn't even offer her a glass of water.

"Thank you." Kubo's mother smiled kindly.

Tazaki Toru sat down on the sofa again.

"I'm very sorry for what happened earlier. I tried to maintain some dignity as a mother in front of that child."

"If everything is done to her liking too easily, she will only become more and more demanding and will not know how to cherish it."

"So you're saying you agree to let me continue living here?"

Kubo's mother gave a wry smile: "If I object, Akiyu will definitely throw a tantrum."

"It's clear that the child trusts you a lot."

"Mr. Tazaki should know what kind of work Akiyu does, right? At first, when she said that dating is not allowed in the agency, we were worried about her."

“Mingyou has never liked interacting with people since she was little. Now she’s far away from us, living alone in Tokyo. We’re very worried about whether she can make friends and find a boyfriend.”

Tazaki Toru was not surprised. He had heard about Kubo Miyu's experiences before and could roughly guess what they were thinking.

After thinking for a moment, Tazaki Toru said, "I suppose Miss Akira hasn't mentioned it. When we met in Chiyoda, I didn't have a chance to give a detailed self-introduction either."

"To be honest, I currently work in the music industry, and I am in charge of the project that Ms. Mingyou is involved in."

"Huh? Is that how it is?"

"Perhaps in the eyes of parents, we will always be children who never grow up, but for more than a year, I have witnessed Miss Mingyou's growth every day."

"I can say this to anyone with my head held high: Miss Mingyou is a girl who is far more mature and reliable than you can imagine."

"I'm not a big shot, and what I say isn't very convincing."

"As her friend and her composer, witnessing her dedication and hard work to date, I am very proud of her."

"Whether it's friends or romantic partners, these are all things that are readily available to Miss Mingyou, as long as she is willing."

"Mr. Tazaki, you have quite a high opinion of this child."
