Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Tazaki Toru was truly impressed by the beauty of her voice.

"Tazaki-sensei, is this the first time you've ever seen a flying penguin?"

"Hmm." Tazaki Toru nodded slightly, then added, "I came here once last year, but I didn't get to see it."

"I see."

Yang Gongfei responded.

Now, she was almost certain that the boy who came to the aquarium with Hina Aoki was none other than Toru Tazaki standing before her.

It turns out that they had met back then.

No, it should be that she saw Tazaki Toru on her own.

This discovery caused Yang Gongfei's breathing to become slightly heavier.

"Tazaki-sensei, do you still remember the scene when we first met?"

“I’m so sorry about that time,” Toru Tazaki said.

"sorry?"

"I acted rashly during the fireworks display."

Memories from a year ago resurfaced and surged in my mind.

In the crowd of people on that summer night, she was suddenly grabbed by the hand by a strange man.

She was terrified at the time, but now, looking back, the girl only felt a slight warmth in her palms and couldn't help but clench her fingers.

"Tazaki-sensei, you must have mistaken me for Hina-chan back then."

"Sorry, it's because you're all wearing the same mask."

"I suppose I didn't make a good impression on you when we first met."

Yang Gongfei stammered, unable to speak.

To be honest, that's true.

She wasn't good at interacting with men, and all she felt at that moment was fear.

As she got to know more about Tazaki Toru, she gradually changed her opinion of him.

Tazaki Toru suddenly remembered something and said, "But before that, I should have already heard Miss Hitomi's voice."

"Eh?"

"It just so happens that it was at the aquarium, right at the entrance to the passageway, that I heard Miss Yang Gong talking to herself."

"Takasaki-sensei, you can remember this?" Hinami Himiya's eyes widened in surprise.

Tazaki Toru pointed to his ears: "I have excellent hearing."

"I know that, but can you really remember it for so long?"

She craned her neck, staring intently at Toru Tazaki's ears, wishing she could reach out and touch his bare earlobe to see if a miniature recording device had been implanted inside.

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and said seriously, "I always store my favorite sounds in a memory area that won't fade, and I just listen to them a few times when I need them."

"Amazing!"

She seemed to genuinely agree with Tazaki Toru's bizarre statement.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but chuckle, which left the girl looking bewildered.

"I was just joking. If someone could really do that, wouldn't they have a photographic memory? I don't have that kind of ability."

"But Ms. Tazaki said she remembers..."

"It's just that I was impressed by your voice. I may forget many things, many voices, but the voice I heard that day, I still remember it now."

Yang Gongfei's chest pounded as she listened, utterly bewildered as to the meaning behind his words.

Why did you say that to her?

Could it really be as Ritsu said, that Mr. Tazaki also...?

"I...I think my voice is very ordinary, it's nothing like what Ms. Tazaki said."

"Perhaps so, but everyone's preferences and tastes are different. I'm just talking about my personal opinion."

"I really like Miss Yang Gong's voice."

Tazaki Toru hopes she can be more confident in her voice, and if she needs praise, then praise her; if she needs encouragement, then encourage her.

However, things took an unexpected turn.

Yang Gongfei remained in that position, her brown pupils inexplicably spinning, as if she were on a carousel that, once boarded, would never stop.

"Is it just... my voice that Mr. Tazaki likes?"

"........."

534. Sister Yang packed him up and took him home.

"Is it just... my voice?"

Even Yang Gongfei herself was startled when she asked the question.

She suddenly lowered her head, no longer daring to look at Toru Tazaki.

Wouldn't she seem too strange to ask that question?

What kind of girl would ask someone such a question?

However, after careful consideration, Tazaki Toru said frankly, "You are also very cute, and I'm sure you will have no shortage of fans in the future."

"Eh?"

Is it possible to say such things so openly and honestly?

She subconsciously ignored the second half of the sentence, or rather, just hearing the first half almost caused her slow-witted mind to shut down.

Sheep Palace Fairy looked around and found that the tourists around her were engrossed in watching the penguins and no one was looking at them, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She stood there shyly, flustered, and stammered as she opened her mouth.

"Me too..."

The girl's voice grew softer and softer, and even Tazaki Toru, with his keen hearing, couldn't help but lean forward slightly, trying to hear her more clearly.

"What did you say?"

"Um...I, I also think that Tazaki-sensei is very..."

"...Very handsome."

Ah... I really said it.

Xiao Lu, I tried my best!

Tazaki Toru paused, somewhat confused, and could only hum in response.

"Thank you."

Then, a long silence fell over the room.

The penguins, in pairs, flapped their wings lazily, floating in the blue sky above the two of them.

"Let's go take a look over there."

Tazaki Toru points to a certain spot.

Eh?

Is this over?

What's next?

Yang Gongfei couldn't understand it.

It's not quite what she imagined.

Wasn't that just a declaration of love?

A date, an aquarium, talking about their first meeting, and praising each other's strengths.

Shouldn't things just fall into place naturally?

That's how it's always portrayed in romance comics!

"Miss Yang Gong?"

When Hinata Himegami came to her senses, Toru Tazaki, who was standing beside her, had already walked quite a distance away. Seeing Hinata motionless, Toru turned around and looked at her in confusion.

The girl pursed her lips, hesitated, and took a step forward to follow.

……

……

After leaving the aquarium, Yang Gongfei Na seemed somewhat absent-minded.

She was still bewildered by what had happened and her mind was preoccupied with it, so much so that she couldn't properly respond no matter how much Tazaki Toru called her name.

The conversation just now was the limit of what she could express. As for things like loudly saying "I like you" like in romance comics...

Sorry, Yang Gongfei Na isn't that kind of bold girl.

This is already the best that Yang Gongfei Na has done at this stage.

They sat together in a nearby restaurant. Tazaki Toru went to the restroom, leaving Himegami Hina alone at the table.

The courage I had finally mustered vanished without a trace, leaving me quite discouraged.

Just then, my phone vibrated slightly. My friend Xiaolu had sent me a message asking how the battle was going.

Yang Gongfeina really had no intention of responding.

Xiao Lu kept sending messages, so Yang Gongfei Na had no choice but to reply briefly, explaining the situation.

After learning about the morning's date, Xiao Lu remained silent for a long time before offering a suggestion.

According to the original plan, after visiting the aquarium, we were supposed to go to the planetarium next door to see the stars in the afternoon.
