Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Jingle Bell……

After a long while, a girl pushed open the door of the cafe, her adorable face darting back and forth, and finally spotted Hina Aoki in the corner, and walked towards her.

"Nichi-chan sauce, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hina Aoki stopped stirring her coffee and gave a faint smile.

"Sorry for asking you out without my permission. Does Mika-chan have something important to do?"

"It's okay, I'm pretty free today."

After saying that, Mika Kohinata looked at the empty seat next to Hina Aoki and asked, "Where's Rin-chan?"

"She's not here; it's just the two of us."

"Eh?"

Kohinata Mika looked confused.

Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana were always inseparable, so she subconsciously assumed that the two of them were together.

The girl in front of her showed her usual cute and sweet smile. If Mika Kohinata were to imitate Hina Aoki's smile, she would only look like a fool who hadn't finished compulsory education.

After the rehearsal ended, she suddenly received a message from Hina Aoki, which prompted her to come to the coffee shop to meet her.

Hina Aoki called over a waiter and asked Mika Kohinata what she wanted to drink. After the waiter left, Mika Kohinata couldn't help but ask:

"Hina-chan, what can I do for you?"

"It's nothing particularly important, I just feel a little apologetic."

"Eh?"

"Since the New Year, it seems like there haven't been many opportunities to speak with you alone."

Mika Kohinata showed a slight look of realization: "Ah... I see."

"Mika-chan, are you still doing part-time work?"

Mika Kohinata scratched her head somewhat shyly and nodded gently.

"But there are far fewer now than before. There's only one family restaurant job left. Ah... I went there last year."

"Right now, I'd like to set aside some more time to practice at home."

After MyGO's rehearsals, Mika Kohinata often has part-time jobs, working until 9 p.m. before taking the train home.

However, compared to before joining MyGO, Mika Kohinata has reduced her part-time jobs by several.

In this respect, Hina Aoki actually greatly admired Mika Kohinata.

She came to Beijing alone from a remote rural area like Minamibosō to pursue her dreams. Even after getting the opportunity she has now, she still maintains her original aspirations and works hard in this city.

Hina Aoki had wondered more than once what it was that Mika Kohinata possessed that she did not.

Hina Aoki has yet to find the answer.

Even Hina Aoki couldn't bring herself to feel the slightest bit of dislike for a girl like Mika Kohinata.

No wonder Tazaki Toru treats her differently.

Mika Kohinata smiled shyly, but when Hina Aoki didn't respond, her smile seemed to falter, and her gaze appeared uneasy.

If you put yourself in Mika Kohinata's shoes, she must be very confused right now.

"How should I put it? I'm a little afraid that Mika-chan will dislike me."

Mika Kohinata exclaimed "Eh!" and quickly waved her hand, snapping out of her daze: "That kind of thing would never happen."

Really?

"Of course, it's me who's worried about whether I've done something to upset you."

Facing Aoki Hina's sharp cat-like eyes, the girl kept rubbing her fingers and fiddling with her nails.

"Because of Tazaki-kun, I was a little envious... or jealous of you."

Mika Kohinata opened her mouth slightly in surprise, but couldn't utter a word.

If anyone should be envious, it should be her who envies Hina Aoki, envying that they can live together, see each other every day, and have endless time to spend together.

When Mika Kohinata longs to see him, she can only recall the brief spring when she met him last year.

"Mika-chan, do you still like Tazaki-kun?"

Aoki's Japanese menu goes straight to the point.

She had asked Mika Kohinata this question more than once, and each time, Mika Kohinata gave a vague answer.

This stems from her deep-seated lack of self-confidence.

Now, even if Mika Kohinata is stupid and clumsy, a hint of hope has emerged.

Even though he was living with two female voice actors who were prettier than her, he would still tell her late at night that he felt lonely when he couldn't see her.

If the loneliness he speaks of is the same kind of loneliness that Mika Kohinata feels.

So, is his liking the same as mine?

Mika Kohinata nodded her head with difficulty.

This time, she did not continue to deny it.

"Oh, I see. I like him too."

Mika Kohinata truly admires Hina Aoki from the bottom of her heart.

I admire her for being able to express her feelings so openly and generously, while I only dare to secretly like him, afraid that Tazaki Toru will find out.

"Will Mika-chan be hostile towards me? Will she see me as a rival in love, or will she think I pose no threat to her and not take me seriously at all?"

Aoki Hina's incredibly sharp question startled Kohinata Mika, who shook her head vigorously.

"I have never thought of it that way."

"And actually, I'm very happy."

"happy?"

"I've always thought Hina-chan is a very cute girl, and I'm really happy that Toru-kun is liked by a girl like you."

"It feels like the people I cherish are cherished in return."

Hina Aoki might be able to understand this feeling.

Her relationship with Tachibana Rin was likely similar.

The difference is that Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin are close enough to understand each other implicitly, while she has never really gotten to know Kohinata Mika.

"I see."

Hina Aoki lowered her eyelids slightly, a gentle smile curving her lips, and murmured softly:

"If it weren't for Tazaki-kun, we would definitely have become even closer friends."

Mika Kohinata mustered her courage and looked directly into Hina Aoki's eyes, her pretty face slightly flushed.

"I have always considered everyone at MyGO as good friends."

Hina Aoki is skilled at lying, and equally adept at seeing through the lies of others.

She could personally sense that there was no falsehood in Mika Kohinata's words.

Just like Toru Tazaki.

"There's something I don't want to hide from Mika-chan."

Hina Aoki quietly watched Mika Kohinata, trying to mimic their honesty.

There were no lies, and no tricks were used.

Use the most straightforward words to convey the most genuine feelings.

"I confessed my feelings to Tazaki-kun yesterday."

488. Kondo Amane is capable, so why can't I?

Aoki Hina's sudden confession left Kohinata Mika feeling bewildered, revealing a silly and confused expression.

Upon closer reflection, this doesn't seem to be surprising at all.

It sounds perfectly natural and without any problem to confess to someone you like.

Especially for an outstanding girl like Hina Aoki, it's perfectly normal for her to take the initiative.

It's simply because Mika Kohinata can't do that.

The girl's smile was somewhat stiff, and even her naivety seemed to have faded a bit; she appeared to be somewhat out of sorts.

Mika Kohinata opened her mouth, unsure of where to begin, and worried that even if she did ask, Hina Aoki wouldn't give her an answer.

"Mika-chan, don't you want to know how Tazaki-kun answered me?"

Mika Kohinata's heart tightened instantly, her eyes fixed on Hina Aoki in front of her, and she even held her breath.

"Don't look so uneasy. Tazaki-kun didn't respond to my confession, or rather, I didn't give him a chance to reject me."

The smile on Aoki Hina's face made Kohinata Mika even more confused.

Why does she seem so indifferent?

Putting yourself in her shoes, if Tazaki Toru had fooled you with your confession, Mika Kohinata would have definitely given him a silly, pretentious smile first.

When I got home, I crawled into bed and cried loudly all night.

When she heard that Tazaki Toru had not accepted Aoki Hina's confession, Kohinata Mika breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what Aoki Hina said next made Kohinata Mika's heart jump.

"Tazaki-kun has many girls he likes."

"You know his personality, so I don't need to say more. He always treats us girls gently under the pretext of caring about the band."

"Of course, I have never doubted Tazaki-kun's motives."

"But you also understand that his actions will inevitably attract many female voice actresses who will try every means to get close to him."
