Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

If he were to confess his feelings to me here, I might be disappointed.

"Haruhi Kage."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing those three words, I suddenly felt a sense of relief.

"Spring Shadows" is truly a beautiful piece of music.

If one day I can stand on the stage as a singer and openly sing this song.

On major music streaming platforms, the artist's name is listed as "Hina Aoki".

I think there's nothing more enjoyable than that.

"Although I cannot disclose the project team, there is a certain project team that desperately wants me to sell the copyright of 'Spring Day Shadow' to them."

"After reading about the story behind their creation, I felt from the bottom of my heart that that place might be the perfect home for this song."

"Therefore, the copyright of 'Spring Shadow' is no longer in my hands."

"........."

A strange feeling.

Even though I never received it, it felt as if a gaping, bloody gash had been ripped out of my heart.

It was completely empty.

56. I want to be the woman who responds to miracles, so he can see what I look like.

After Tazaki Toru finished speaking, Miss Aoki stared at him for a long time, seemingly in shock.

Suddenly, Hina Aoki clasped her hands together and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow~~~ That's amazing!"

"Hey! What project is it? Is it from a company I know?"

"Well, I can't say anything about that yet."

"Oh right, hehe~~~ I forgot."

Is that company well-known? Is it a big player?

Tazaki Toru scratched his brow, looking somewhat conflicted.

"To be honest, I can't really judge whether it's well-known or not. It's probably somewhat famous, but the project itself is probably not considered important."

"If it were a highly valued project, they wouldn't have chosen a new composer like him with no experience," Tazaki thought to himself.

"Hey~~~ I see. But congratulations Tazaki-kun anyway."

Hina Aoki stood with her hands behind her back, displaying her usual calm and polite smile.

"I knew this piece of music would get the attention it deserves. When it makes it onto the mainstream media, I'll be able to brag about it on social media!"

"I was the first person to sing it!"

“Showing off to others like that.”

Tazaki Toru watched Aoki Hina quietly. As the girl spoke, her exceptionally bright eyes sparkled with excitement.

Seemingly sensing the joy in the girl's eyes, Toru Tazaki smiled faintly in return.

"Thank you, Miss Aoki."

Seeing Tazaki Toru's sincere gratitude, Aoki Hina's smile remained unchanged, only her eyes flickered slightly.

It's just that beautiful eyelashes blink more frequently.

……

……

With Tazaki Toru officially accepting the composing work for the BanG Dream! project, he has rarely gone to live houses lately, and his part-time job is practically nonexistent.

However, his current job was personally introduced by the store manager, and Yicun must have anticipated that it would turn out this way, so he hired a new part-time worker.

That being said, Toru Tazaki does not intend to resign completely. Once he settles down, there is a chance he will go back to part-time work.

There was no particular reason; I just liked the atmosphere inside that live house.

Moreover, if Yoshimura, the shop manager, were to ask him personally, Tazaki Toru simply wouldn't be able to refuse.

And from a certain point onward, the two female voice actresses living upstairs rarely bothered Tazaki Toru anymore.

This significantly increased the amount of time he could mobilize.

Out of concern for his roommate, Toru Tazaki asked him about it, and the answer he received was that it was because of work.

These two usually get home late at night, and often take a taxi home.

Even Tachibana Rin stopped playing games and went back to her room to sleep after taking a bath. When Tazaki Toru passed by her bedroom, he no longer heard the sharp laughter and fake crying coming from her room.

And so, May quietly came to an end.

……

……

In the morning, after walking out of the bustling station, Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana headed to the office together.

Hina Aoki accidentally bumped into a passerby, and immediately bent down to apologize, and the other person did the same.

Such interactions happen almost every day in front of the station.

"Hina, are you alright?" Tachibana Rin couldn't help but ask.

"What could possibly happen to me?" Hina Aoki adjusted her mask, as if trying to hide her round face completely.

"I've noticed you've been lacking energy these past few days. Cheer up, today is a very important day."

Hina Aoki glanced at her, unsure of what to say.

Once upon a time, this seemed to be a phrase that Hina Aoki often said, but now their positions have been reversed.

Upon arriving at the office, Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana greeted their colleagues one by one.

As newcomers who have only recently joined the company, they are the least experienced, so they have to take the initiative to greet everyone they meet.

Upon entering the conference room, the agent was already sitting there waiting.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

"Good morning, Ms. Tachibana, Ms. Aoki."

The manager is an older woman. Hibiki has a rule that its female voice actors, especially young ones, are not allowed to date.

The agents assigned to artists are all of the same sex.

It's a rather conservative project overall, with a female voice actress who is referred to as the company president mostly wearing only a hooded sweatshirt.

However, the company's rules can only play a certain supervisory role; ultimately, it depends on the individual's professional ethics.

The agent closed the documents in her hand, gently pushed up her glasses, and checked the two's schedule for the day.

This was something that had been decided a few days ago, and both Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin had already memorized it.

"Also, MyGO's first song has been decided. Although there are still a few roles to be cast, the roles of the two of them were decided long ago."

"I need to go to the club's practice room this afternoon to practice the new piece. That should be fine, right?"

"I'll do my best." Tachibana Rin nodded very honestly.

She had been practicing guitar diligently all this time for this moment.

"Miss Aoki?"

"...Miss Aoki?"

"Eh? Yes! I'm fine, I'll do my best."

Rin Tachibana secretly glanced at Hina Aoki, who was slightly dazed, and was genuinely worried about her recent condition.

Hina Aoki sat silently, waiting for her manager to send the sheet music to the two of them.

I seem to have really changed.

Mingming had been really looking forward to becoming the guitarist for this band, and was especially eagerly anticipating their first song.

why?

Even with the sheet music in her hand, a different, lingering melody played in her head.

"Hey, Hina, Hina!"

Rin Tachibana stared wide-eyed, lowered her voice in front of her manager, and tugged hard at her clothes under the table with her small hand.

"Look! Look at the song title."

It was only then that Aoki Hina realized that she had been so dejected that she hadn't even glanced at the sheet music.

When Aoki Hina saw the song title at the top of the sheet music, she paused briefly, then looked up at her manager in confusion.

She didn't quite understand why she had to be given the sheet music for "Spring Shadows".

Even without the sheet music, she could play it perfectly, without missing a single note.

“Oh right, Mr. Fujita said that Ms. Aoki knows this composer.”

"Eh?"

The girl's throat squeezed out confused syllables.

The perfect smile, carefully crafted and maintained through calculations, seems to be missing a piece and is showing signs of crumbling.

"Um... does that mean that Mr. Tazaki will be our band's composer from now on?"

Yes, that's right.

"Eh~~~~~Really?! That guy is amazing~~ Ah! I'm sorry!"

Rin Tachibana was equally shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief, her exaggerated expression quite frightening. Then, realizing her slip of the tongue, she immediately covered her mouth.

Only those eyes still held a look of surprise and uncertainty.
