Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Putting aside the fact that she is a girl who longs for love, Yang Gongfei has a very serious attitude towards work.

She loves this job very much and will naturally give it her all.

This was the first time Tazaki Toru had seen Hina Hitomi's voice acting up close. Unlike her stumbling singing, she was able to accurately and flawlessly infuse emotion into every word, which was probably her comfort zone.

Or perhaps, it's because she is an extremely good fit for the role.

In short, this allowed Tazaki Toru to see another side of Hinami Hina.

"Then...would you be willing to form a band with me for the rest of your life?"

Tazaki Toru's eyebrows twitched.

The phrase "a lifetime" carries a somewhat heavy weight for the characters in the drama.

This applies not only to characters in dramas, but also to real life.

At some point, Hina's voice ceased in the air, and her gaze shifted from the script to Toru Tazaki's face, where she stared at him quietly.

"Would you write songs for me for the rest of your life?"

In the distant past, Toru Tazaki had heard her say those words.

At that time, Yang Gongfei asked him if he was willing to write songs for MyGO for the rest of his life.

Now, MyGO has become her.

Tazaki Toru couldn't explain what caused this change, but little by little, she was drawn into the vortex in her eyes that had already begun to spin.

The one who pulled Tazaki Toru out of this vortex was none other than Himegami Hina herself.

A sudden "gurgling" sound seemed to transform into a transparent barrier, embedding itself directly between the two people's eyes as they gazed intently at each other, creating a separation.

The rumbling sound came from the girl's stomach; more precisely, it was the rumbling of her hungry belly.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Gongfei held the script up to her flushed face, looking extremely embarrassed.

The atmosphere was so nice, why did my stomach have to rumble at this moment?

A light rain began to fall outside, pattering against the only window in the living room, creating a somber and subtle atmosphere.

She wished she could pick up a baseball bat, smash a big hole in the floor, and then shrink into it.

Tazaki Toru got up at that moment.

"Can we use the kitchen?"

"Huh? That's possible."

Tazaki Toru glanced at the refrigerator, and as expected, there weren't any decent ingredients. Himegami Hina clearly wasn't the kind of girl who was particularly good at cooking.

Fortunately, there was ham and eggs in the refrigerator, and all the seasonings on the stove were readily available, with no signs of being opened.

I sat at the same table as Mika Kohinata from back then.

Tazaki Toru rolled up his sleeves and found the leftover rice in the rice cooker.

I quickly turned on the stove and made a single serving of fried rice.

There's nothing I can do; that's all the rice I have.

When Toru Tazaki served the golden fried rice, Hinata Himiya was completely dumbfounded.

He glanced down at the fried rice, then looked up to meet Tazaki Toru's gentle smile.

Honestly, I admire him even more now.

She never expected that Tazaki Toru was not only incredibly talented, but also had an easy grasp of cooking. Was there anything he couldn't do?

During that year, Tazaki Toru took charge of the meals for the two girls in his family, and his cooking skills improved considerably.

"If it doesn't suit your taste, I apologize in advance."

Yang Gongfei waved her hands in a panic. She had no right to be picky. She said, "I'm starting," tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, scooped it up with a spoon, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.

Her cheeks looked like they were about to melt.

Perhaps because this was the first time someone outside her family had cooked for her, she blurted out "delicious" before she could savor the flavor.

Even if Toru Tazaki miscalculated the amount of salt and it was hard to swallow, just looking at Toru Tazaki's face gave her the confidence to finish it all.

Tazaki Toru remained silent throughout, which eventually drew the attention of Himegami Hina, who asked him why he was looking at her like that.

"It's nothing, it's just that I noticed Miss Yang Gong looked particularly happy while eating, so I felt that my cooking was worthwhile."

The girl couldn't help but lower her head, her hair being pulled behind her ears, revealing her bright red ears.

It was so hot that he had to blow on it several times before he could gently put it in his mouth.

No, no, no.

Yang Gongfei quickly banished the random thoughts from her mind.

……

……

"I'm full, it was delicious."

The girl clasped her hands together and wiped the oil off her lips. Her lips were still glossy and looked exceptionally soft.

"I'm glad Miss Yang doesn't mind."

Tazaki Toru chuckled softly, flipping through the script as if casually, noticing that every annotation was written with exceptional care.

She said nervously, "Did I not behave well just now?"

"That's not true. Ms. Hitomi's voice is a perfect fit for the character. The director, Ms. Ayana, and I can vouch for that."

"Miss Yang Gong, you can be more confident in yourself."

"If I could do this so easily, I wouldn't have to worry about it."

Toru Tazaki closed the script.

"Then... I'll teach Miss Yang Gong a magic trick that will make her brave and confident."

"Huh? A magic spell to become brave?"

"Tazaki-sensei, so you're a magician after all!?"

Tazaki Toru was amused by the girl's statement.

"It's not that he's as powerful as a magician, just a little trick, which might not even be of any use."

"No way! Anything taught by Mr. Tazaki will definitely be very useful!"

"Um... thank you so much."

Tazaki Toru suppressed his smile, rubbing his chin with one hand as he carefully examined the girl in front of him.

Yang Gongfei felt her cheeks flush under that almost scrutinizing gaze, and subconsciously looked away in embarrassment.

"Miss Yang Gong, you read shonen manga?"

"Hmm... I don't watch it often."

She doesn't really like comics with lots of fighting.

"In shonen manga, it's not common to name a move and then shout it out loud."

"Oh... I think so."

But is that considered magic?

Yang Gongfei was completely confused.

"If you feel insecure, or become timid and want to back down, try punching and shouting out the name of the move, such as Fina Fist."

The girl was stunned.

"Ugh... This is too embarrassing! I can't do it! People will definitely think I'm a weird girl."

"right."

"He actually said 'Is that so'! Could it be that Professor Tazaki is deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

"How could that be? Think about it, if you can do something so shameful, you'll have nothing to worry about or be afraid of, and other things will be even easier for you."

"If you encounter confusion or hesitation, throw a Fina punch in front of you."

"Once you launch an attack, you must be determined to do things that you couldn't do before, and to say things that you couldn't say before."

Hina punch... huh.

Ugh... what an embarrassing name.

It's shameful enough to say such things in private, let alone in front of others.

I feel like my life is going to end if I say it out loud.

but……

This was a suggestion from Toru Tazaki.

Up to this point, Yang Gongfeina has always believed everything this person says.

This time will be the same.

The girl pursed her lips, slowly raised her eyes to look at Toru Tazaki in front of her, symbolically raised her arm, and slowly extended her clenched fist.

“hi……hina punch”.

Ugh, I feel like dying.

There's a sense of emptiness, like your HP instantly drops to zero as soon as you leave the safe zone.

Tazaki Toru suppressed his laughter and remained silent.

"Tazaki-sensei, you're not secretly laughing, are you?"

"I'm not chuckling."

That's good.

"...hina punch".
