Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Goodbye, Mr. Tazaki; goodbye, little lamb."

"Ah."

Tazaki Toru nodded to her, while Hina Himegami waved goodbye to her.

After Sasaki Riko left, Tazaki Toru turned his gaze to Hina Himegami beside him. She was still looking down, appearing preoccupied.

It must be said that Hina Himegami is really bad at pretending in this regard, even worse than Mika Kohinata.

At least when Mika Kohinata is feeling down, she will deliberately try to cheer herself up and pretend to be energetic.

Yang Gongfei Na, on the other hand, is not good at hiding her emotions at all.

"Miss Yang Gong, do you have work to do later?"

The girl looked bewildered upon hearing this, and subconsciously uttered an "Eh," her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Tazaki Toru.

“That means there isn’t any left,” Tazaki Toru said to himself.

"Takasaki-sensei, is the person asking me the question?" Hinata asked uncertainly.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction: "Is there someone else here?"

The girl blushed, finally understanding.

"But, but, doesn't Professor Tazaki have other things to do? Are you lying?"

"It's not exactly a lie. I was thinking that if Miss Yang Gong has some free time, we could go there together and I could also try to figure out why you're so down."

"Could it be that when Professor Tazaki said something was wrong, he meant..."

Tazaki Toru chuckled and said, "I only said I had something to do, not that it was work."

Isn't this sophistry?

As Yang Gongfei thought this, a strange feeling arose in her body, causing a slight surging and uplifting sensation.

Rin Tachibana's assessment of Toru Tazaki was absolutely correct.

He was constantly observing the girls around him, and was sensitive to their joys and sorrows.

You could say he's a busybody, or you could say he's sending ambiguous signals. Whatever the interpretation, it all just highlights the gentleness and tolerance he shows when facing these female voice actresses.

He himself was still feeling disoriented and his life rhythm was disrupted because of the confessions of love from some female voice actresses.

Even at a moment like this, he still couldn't let go of Yang Gongfeina, who had such an expression on her face.

Tazaki Toru is an adult who can bravely say "no." He can choose what he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do.

However, when faced with these female voice actors, he always chooses to do troublesome and complicated things, finding it difficult to remain detached.

Perhaps Tachibana Rin is right.

He might actually have developed a so-called "voice actress addiction," who knows?

……

……

Tazaki Toru and Hiyomiya Hina left the recording building together, went to a nearby station, took a tram, and got off at a certain station.

If they wandered around the recording building, they might be spotted by Mujica's group, so Yang Gongfei suggested that they go somewhere else to wander around.

Tazaki Toru naturally agreed.

Stepping out of the station, the golden twilight of May, as it was drawing to a close, seemed to have turned the boundless wheat field upside down.

From a distance, the heavy clanging of lights echoed in my ears as the red light flashed and the barrier gate slowly descended.

The utility poles next to the gate were covered with advertisements for nearby hospitals, and the "No Smoking" signs had faded to almost nothing, as if they were trying to persuade people to smoke.

For the 15 seconds that the train passed by, the two simply stood side by side, feeling the wind blowing against their faces, without exchanging a single word.

Yang Gongfei secretly glanced at his profile, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Standing quietly beside Toru Tazaki like this, Hinami Hina felt her emotions were like a rollercoaster.

Before, I was worried that he might be living with someone else, but now I feel like I might be the happiest girl in the world.

Even though Tazaki Toru did nothing, she could automatically imagine his thoughtful care from his words and actions.

Love really can make people's brains unable to think normally.

This statement fits perfectly perfectly when applied to Yang Gongfei Na.

Considering that she has always had fantasies and longings about sweet romance since she was a child, it is understandable that she would have this mentality.

At this moment, he wished he could run away laughing and let Tazaki Toru chase after him. If he caught up, he would pretend to refuse and let Tazaki Toru kiss him, even if it was just a few kisses.

Okay, it's best to stop this wishful thinking now.

Otherwise, her already slightly crooked mouth would have to stand up completely.

The barrier arm, like the girl's lips, turned upwards as they crossed the railway together.

Tazaki Toru, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Miss Hitomiya, may I ask a rather abrupt question?"

"Abrupt?"

The girl was taken aback when she heard this, and then nodded curiously.

"Could it be that Miss Yang's recent fluctuating condition is due to being in love?"

Yang Gongfei was startled by what she heard, her eyes widening as she stammered:

"Why do you say that?"

"That's why I said it was an abrupt question. I'm really sorry if it made you feel awkward."

“These are my recent insights,” Toru Tazaki explained.

"...Insights?"

"If a girl undergoes some kind of strange change and shows a completely different state from before, it is probably because she has found someone she likes."

"That's why my mood is so unpredictable, sometimes good and sometimes bad."

After saying that, Tazaki Toru sighed softly.

“Miss Yang Gong’s symptoms do match those.”

“I…I don’t think I have any problems that can be described as symptoms.”

She is lying.

She knew very well that she was seriously ill, and the source of the illness was right beside her.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have made assumptions about you."

"No, it's okay."

Hina Himegami turned her face away in a panic, afraid that Toru Tazaki might notice.

To be honest, the moment Tazaki Toru blurted it out, she really thought her little secret had been discovered.

She almost turned and ran away. If Tazaki Toru could catch up with her, a kiss was out of the question. She could only cover her face and squat on the ground.

Just as her mind went blank and she didn't know how to continue speaking, Yang Gongfeina suddenly realized the information revealed in his words.

Once the idea took hold, it seemed to cling to her, impossible to erase.

The girl hesitated for a long time, exhausting her courage, and the breathy voice she managed to squeeze out was intermittent.

"Tazaki-sensei, did any girl confess her feelings to you?"

530. It's not shameful to like female voice actors.

Tazaki Toru asked this question simply because he was reminded of Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin.

He had noticed the changes in those two girls recently.

As for the reasons that caused their changes, Tazaki Toru couldn't possibly be unaware of them now.

The problem lies with him.

Tazaki Toru certainly didn't think that Hina Hitomi also harbored feelings for him; that would be an overreaction of self-consciousness.

However, having learned from the experience of those two girls, Toru Tazaki seemed to have become more sensitive than ever before.

Yang Gongfei is a normal young woman, an ordinary girl in her early twenties.

It's perfectly normal for a girl her age to dream about romance, and it's not unusual for her to like one or two boys.

Tazaki Toru did not object, nor did he have the right or the standing to object.

However, if such things affect her work performance, it is something that Tazaki Toru would not want to see.

At that moment, that was all Tazaki Toru thought.

Is it strange that a girl confessed her feelings to me?

Tazaki Toru seems to have gradually changed as he spends time with the two girls.

Perhaps Tazaki Toru himself didn't realize this, but he gradually began to answer other people's questions with questions, just like Aoki Hina.

"It's not surprising at all. It's normal for many girls to like a guy like Mr. Tazaki."

Yang Gongfei forced a smile to hide her inner unease.

"I'm actually quite curious about what kind of girl Mr. Tazaki would like."

"Me?"

"Uh-huh!"

The girl nodded emphatically.

In the past, Toru Tazaki would have answered almost without hesitation that he liked hardworking girls.

But now, Toru Tazaki is somewhat insecure.

Because Tachibana Rin always says strange things, he now suspects that he likes not hardworking girls, but hardworking voice actresses.

However, Toru Tazaki was not speechless or offered no explanation.

His social circle is quite small, and the young women he comes into contact with are all industry professionals, with female voice actresses far outnumbering him.
