Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

They exchanged a glance, both sensing each other's confusion.

Hina Aoki pouted, while Rin Tachibana pointed at herself, silently opening her mouth as if to say, "Why is it me again?"

Helpless, Tachibana Rin had no choice but to come to Tazaki Toru, extend her palm, and wave her beautiful fingers back and forth in front of him.

Then, in her incredibly shrill voice, she shouted "Hey!"

Tazaki Toru was startled by the excessively sweet voice, his shoulders trembled involuntarily, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

When he saw Tachibana Rin standing in front of him, he couldn't help but shift his body and try to get away.

I was terrified that I would see the knife she was holding in her hand the next moment.

However, Tachibana Rin interpreted Tazaki Toru's distant behavior as something else entirely.

She impulsively confessed her feelings last night, and Tazaki Toru's current distancing is her response to that.

Rin Tachibana pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with complex and disappointed emotions, but she still forced herself to put on a brave face and stubbornly pretended that nothing had happened.

That's the kind of girl she is.

"What are you daydreaming about so early in the morning? Let's eat."

Tazaki Toru looked at Tachibana Rin, but Tachibana Rin immediately turned away, not giving him a chance to speak.

After breakfast, Tachibana Rin and Aoki Hina went out immediately, leaving Tazaki Toru alone at home.

After a night of deep thought, Tachibana Rin began to regret her actions.

She regretted saying those thoughtless words yesterday, so much so that she had no courage to face Tazaki Toru at this moment, and couldn't even look him in the eye.

Tazaki Toru wasn't much better off.

Aoki Hina, who was secretly observing the two of them, noticed their changes.

After leaving home, the two girls walked together toward the station.

Rin Tachibana remained sullen, her head hanging low.

"Rin-chan, are you alright?"

Hina Aoki gently tugged at her sleeve.

Rin Tachibana shook her head: "I didn't take it to heart at all. He's just blind."

"I don't think so. Tazaki-kun is just a little confused."

"Whatever, I'll just do what I want to do and I don't care what he thinks."

Rin Tachibana remained defiant, but anyone could sense the disappointment in her tone.

Since things had come to this point, Hina Aoki didn't have any good ways to comfort her and could only try to avoid touching on the topic.

In Aoki Hina's opinion, although Tachibana Rin's confession was unexpected, it was not entirely a bad thing.

Hina Aoki's ultimate goal can be broadly summarized into two points.

One was to persuade these girls to share Tazaki Toru together.

Another, of course, is to enable Tazaki Toru to accept them both at the same time.

Honestly, the second one is the hardest.

Even if she could persuade Mika Kohinata, Hina Aoki wasn't confident that she could completely control Toru Tazaki.

Waiting until the final stage to completely confront Tazaki Toru would be too unfortunate.

At this stage, if Toru Tazaki is able to perceive the feelings of several girls and feel troubled by them, it might become the most crucial foreshadowing.

Hina Aoki could only think this way; otherwise, she really had no way to defend Rin Tachibana's abruptness and could only take things one step at a time.

Fortunately, after his conversation with Toru Tazaki yesterday, he will most likely not mention moving out again.

As long as he is still willing to stay in the Kubo family, there is still a chance to take advantage of him.

Never before had Aoki Hina felt such a strong desire in her heart for Tazaki Toru to be an indecisive man.

"Hina..."

Suddenly, Tachibana Rin stopped in her tracks.

Hina Aoki turned to look at her best friend.

"When you said last time that you wanted to add Mika-chan, were you serious?"

Hina Aoki nodded: "I'm serious."

"What about the little lamb? Do you... want to include her too?"

Aoki Hina sighed in exasperation, "What kind of person do you take me for?"

"Do you think the little lamb will agree just because I casually say it? She won't listen to me anyway."

"I think she can't outsmart you. You must have a way, right?"

Rin Tachibana spoke with utmost seriousness, so Hina Aoki did not intend to dismiss her lightly.

Want to hear the truth?

"……Um."

"Of course I didn't intend for her to join."

"........."

"In the end, you know in your heart that the lamb is not that important to us."

"MyGO is just a commercial band, how many more years can it operate?"

"Are we, a few women pieced together from various sources, really going to be a band for the rest of our lives?"

"Don't joke around."

Rin Tachibana remained silent.

As expected, Hina Aoki is still that scheming woman.

522. Female voice actors are practically everywhere.

After the two girls left, Toru Tazaki remained alone in the living room.

He sat down at the grand piano in the living room, his fingers touching the keys, but he found them difficult to press.

He sat there blankly for five or six minutes before finally closing the keycaps again, sighing softly as he went upstairs to the music room.

However, changing the location did not divert Tazaki Toru's attention.

He found himself constantly troubled by these girls, and even his favorite music had become a shackle binding him.

Tazaki Toru dislikes this feeling of being out of control; it makes him uneasy.

His phone rang at that moment, briefly easing his worries.

The caller was Mr. Fujinaga, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time.

Mr. Fujinaga is the music director of Ms. Minase's team and had previously had the opportunity to collaborate with Toru Tazaki.

Since Ms. Minase's concert, she has made a special effort to recruit him, but Tazaki Toru politely declined.

Mr. Fujinaga first exchanged some simple pleasantries, and then clearly and concisely ascertained the purpose of his visit.

It turns out that Mr. Fujinaga has been longing for Tazaki Toru's piano playing ever since their last collaboration, but he has been struggling to find an opportunity to work together.

Recently, when a singer from King Records was about to release a new song, he remembered Tazaki Toru, with whom he had previously collaborated.

It is said that he is not only a good keyboardist, but also a first-class composer. This time, they want to hire him to compose songs for singers of King Records.

During this period, Toru Tazaki turned down many jobs because MyGO was about to launch a live performance.

He wanted to focus on writing songs for those girls.

However, due to a series of recent events, Tazaki Toru felt an inexplicable sense of restraint and embarrassment when facing those girls.

This was not Toru Tazaki's original intention.

But matters of the heart treat everyone equally, including Toru Tazaki.

Tazaki Toru initially intended to decline as he had done before, but after a moment's thought, he changed his mind and said he could talk in person.

Perhaps he should take a breather for a while and relax his mind by doing something else.

Otherwise, if he spends all day arguing with those girls, Toru Tazaki will probably suffer from insomnia again, or have those kinds of dreams again.

Upon learning that Tazaki Toru was willing to talk, Mr. Fujinaga was overjoyed and hurriedly asked when he would be free, so the two arranged to meet this afternoon.

……

……

Leaving Moon Island, we arrived at King's Records.

Tazaki Toru met Mr. Fujinaga, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, in the reception room, along with an older woman.

"Tazaki-kun, let me introduce you. This is Miss Mayu."

Tazaki Toru nodded in greeting.

Miss Dai is a professional agent who handles all matters related to her artists on a daily basis.

After exchanging greetings, Tazaki Toru looked around and, finding no one else in the room, hesitated before asking a question.

"I wonder which singer we'll be collaborating with this time?"

Just then, the door to the reception room was pushed open.

"it's me."

The voice was truly deep, carrying a chilling, detached quality.

Tazaki Toru looked around, then remained silent.

He had seen this man.

"Sorry, I was at the photography studio this morning, and I just finished working there and came here."

Tazaki Toru never expected that the person who specifically sought him out for collaboration this time would be a male entertainer.
