Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

These kinds of everyday actions somehow created such an ambiguous atmosphere for him.

Tazaki Toru stood in front of the washroom, lost in thought, while the rustling sound of someone getting dressed came from inside.

A short while later, the door opened.

As the heat surged, Tachibana Rin, dressed in a black semi-transparent nightgown, appeared before him.

Her pretty short hair was wet, with water droplets dripping onto her bare shoulders like broken strings.

Rin Tachibana covered her body, the blush on her cheeks caused by something inexplicable.

Seeing that Tazaki Toru was still standing in front of the door, he was startled and tightened his arms.

Perhaps she herself was unaware, but even with the forced effort, there was still some substance to it.

"Who, who told you to take this?"

She spoke first, but dared not look at Tazaki Toru.

Tazaki Toru would swear to Mozart that he absolutely did not do it on purpose.

Besides, why would you buy a nightgown that looks like lingerie?

527. I might actually have a thing for female voice actors.

When Tazaki Toru came out of the shower, the girl who was sitting in the living room watching TV turned her head and glanced at him. She had changed into a regular cotton two-piece pajama set.

For Tazaki Toru, the semi-transparent style of nightgown was too early for Tachibana Rin.

At that moment, Tachibana Rin was staring intently at Tazaki Toru, who had just come out of the bath, her gaze seemingly fixed on him.

Tazaki Toru looked at herself in confusion: "Is my pajamas weird?"

"That's not surprising."

"So, Miss Mingyou, are you looking at me like that?"

"What? Can't I even take a look? You're allowed to take advantage of me?"

Tazaki Toru was speechless for a moment, remaining silent like a potato just dug out of the ground.

Rin Tachibana rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas, revealing her fair forearms, and patted the sofa.

Tazaki Toru had two guesses about the girl's action.

Firstly, Tachibana Rin was still holding a grudge about what had just happened and wanted to beat him up.

Secondly...

Rin Tachibana glared at Toru Tazaki: "What are you still standing there for? Come and sit down, I have something to tell you."

It seems to be number two.

Tazaki Toru sat down next to Tachibana Rin, his demeanor as proper as that of the top student in the class.

"Tsk! Why so serious? You're making me nervous too."

“I thought Miss Mingyou had something important to tell me.”

"So you'll do whatever I say?"

"Uh……"

"What's with all this hesitation? I'm not going to eat you up. Do you really think you're some kind of hot commodity?"

Isn't that so?

Tazaki Toru thought to himself.

Although Aoki Hina told him not to overthink it, Tazaki Toru couldn't help but re-examine the relationship between the two girls, fearing that his presence might affect their friendship.

"I just want to tell you, don't tell Hina what you said to me earlier."

"What?"

Toru Tazaki asked subconsciously.

To his surprise, Tachibana Rin immediately opened her eyes wide, her terrifying gaze fixed on him.

Tazaki Toru gradually realized that it probably meant saying he liked her.

"why?"

"Because it's embarrassing."

"Besides, what if Yi Cai gets jealous? I don't want to go through all that trouble to make her happy."

Tazaki Toru suddenly realized, and then said, "I don't think it's that bad. I've also told Hina-san that I like her."

"???"

A few question marks floated above the girl's head. After a long pause, she burst out with a sharp voice.

"Tazaki Toru! Are you even human!?"

Rin Tachibana was furious.

Even if he's telling the truth, this isn't the time to say it.

He should smile and agree now, then pinky swear with her, and then show her his blushing CG.

How could you say such malicious things?

The initial flutter in my heart vanished without a trace.

Looking at that handsome face that made her jealous, she wished she could reach out and pinch his cheeks hard until he cried out in pain and changed his mind.

"It seems to me that I find it difficult to show favoritism to one of you."

Rin Tachibana pouted; she already knew this.

If it weren't for the consensus already reached with Hina Aoki, but instead it was Rin Tachibana, who was all alone, she was confident that she would have drowned him in tears the moment she heard those words.

She loudly berated him, calling him a scumbag who is gentle to everyone but irresponsible to everyone.

Love is truly a wondrous thing.

Once she accepts the three-person dynamic, even words that would hurt her can be transformed into sweet nothings that will win her heart.

If love is war, then Tachibana Rin sincerely hopes for world peace.

"Alright, alright, I know you're the kind of guy who's constantly sending flirtatious signals to female voice actresses, so stop showing off."

Tazaki Toru felt that Tachibana Rin's words were indeed ambiguous.

"Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that everything remains the same, and you don't need to worry about me. Who knows, I might fall for someone else in a couple of days, understand?"

Toru Tazaki didn't answer.

The girl couldn't help but click her tongue: "When did you learn this bad habit of being silent?"

"I'm thinking."

"What are you thinking about?"

"Consider whether we should expose Ms. Mingyou's lie, or whether it is the right thing to do to just accept it."

Rin Tachibana looked away: "What? You talk as if you know me so well."

"Unlike you and Hina, I can't articulate profound truths."

"You don't need to worry about us not getting along. We have a great relationship. If necessary, I'll just kick you out like you're sitting on the side of the road."

"so……"

Rin Tachibana paused, her gaze sweeping across the large living room, past the bathroom where the mist had long since dissipated, the clean and tidy dining table, and the grand piano in front of the French windows.

Ultimately, it all came back to Toru Tazaki.

"You can continue to stay in this house without worry."

Tazaki Toru never thought of Tachibana Rin as an idiot; he just thought she was exceptionally clumsy and innocent, just as she said, unable to say anything too profound.

Even so, Tachibana Rin's words still touched him.

What surprised him even more was how similar the two of them were.

Even Tazaki Toru himself seemed unaware that the girl's pure expression was etched into his eyes for so long, almost reaching his heart.

"Miss Hina said something similar. I think I've said it many times. I envy your relationship."

"You understand, I have almost no male friends with whom I can talk. At most, I discuss music with Mr. Fujita and others."

"Every time I see you like this, I'm incredibly envious."

"I feel like you might actually have a thing for female voice actors, but you just don't realize it."

Tazaki Toru opened his mouth to refute, but no matter how he tried to argue, it would probably sound weak and unconvincing.

In the end, all he could do was sigh.

"Perhaps."

The sound of a door lock turning came from the entryway, followed by the clattering of slippers.

"I'm back. Hmm? What are you talking about?"

As soon as Aoki Hina entered the living room, she saw the two people on the sofa and instinctively became wary, fearing that Tachibana Rin had gotten into trouble again today.

"They're talking about his addiction to female voice actors."

"what?"

Hina Aoki was completely bewildered and looked blankly at Toru Tazaki.

Tazaki Toru shook his head slightly, not intending to continue the conversation on this topic. After saying goodbye, he went back to his bedroom alone.

Aoki Hina looked puzzled and asked, "What were you two talking about just now?"

Rin Tachibana remained silent for a moment, then clenched her fists tightly, her eyes resolute.

"Nichina, I've made up my mind."

"Let's work together to bring Mika-chan in. I'll do whatever you say."

"Huh? Oh..."
