Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

She called out the name of the move once again, her voice soft but clear enough to reach Tazaki Toru's ears.

Hina Himegami felt a strange sensation; she was merely punching the air, yet she felt as if a certain distance between her and Toru Tazaki had been shortened.

Could this really be magic?

"hina punch".

She added.

The soft, delicate fist moved even closer to Tazaki Toru.

The fist, which had been trembling slightly in mid-air, stopped shaking.

Tazaki Toru laughed.

She understood that this was definitely not meant as mockery.

She might not be very bright; she might get lost, be deceived, or rush out in her pajamas only to realize her mistake when she gets out of the elevator.

But she's not stupid.

"hina punch".

This technique, learned from Toru Tazaki, is truly incredible.

With each shout, her voice involuntarily grew louder.

The fist was getting closer and closer to Toru Tazaki.

It's as if my empty body has been truly filled with things like confidence and courage.

"Hina..."

"punch".

The girl's fist passed through the air without any hindrance and gently touched Tazaki Toru's chest.

The magic seemed to have really worked.

Her heart pounded wildly as Hina Himegami stared intently at Toru Tazaki in front of her, her soft lips moving slowly as if some emotion was about to burst forth.

With a heavy, strained breath, it burst forth from the throat as if squeezed.

"I like...desu."

536. I'll agree to anything you want. (Two-in-one)

The girl's delicate fist pressed against Tazaki Toru's chest.

Regardless of why magic is considered a physical attack, any magic that is effective is good magic.

Although there was a degree of impulsiveness involved, Yang Gongfei felt that she was already quite remarkable for being able to express her true feelings.

She didn't even dare to look up into Toru Tazaki's eyes until she heard Toru Tazaki's soft laughter.

"What should I do now?" Tazaki Toru asked.

Huh? How should I react? You're asking me?

Hinata carefully raised her eyes, while Toru Tazaki still wore that calm and gentle smile.

"I was thinking about whether I should cooperate with you and just fall to the ground like that, but it seemed a little embarrassing for me."

"In short, it's good that Miss Yanggong likes this magic."

"........."

The girl blinked, looking bewildered. Did you misunderstand something?

She opened her mouth, but could not make a sound.

This half-baked magic seems to be able to be used only once; once it misses, there's no way to remedy the situation.

The girl immediately felt depressed.

Seeing that Himeko Hina remained silent, Toru Tazaki assumed she was shy.

Indeed, this behavior seems childish and pretentious, but most people would probably find it cute when it comes from Miss Aries.

Who told her to have such a face, and a voice that matches it?

This is purely Toru Tazaki's personal opinion.

Outside the window, the rain was gradually subsiding. Tazaki Toru glanced at the time and said:

“Miss Yang Gong, it’s getting late. It’s not good to keep you here any longer. It’s time to take my leave.”

The girl lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement.

Just as Tazaki Toru stood up, a pulling force suddenly pulled him to the spot, making him unable to move.

Unbeknownst to her, her wrist was being firmly gripped in Yang Gongfei's hand.

A strange hesitation arose in Tazaki Toru's heart.

The girl slowly raised her eyes, her pupils swirling gently, creating a deep, swirling vortex.

Anything that touches this vortex will inevitably be pulled into it; Tazaki Toru has experienced this expression of hers more than once.

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Tazaki."

Why apologize?

"I'm not quite sure either, I just... want to talk to you a little more."

Tazaki Toru glanced at the hand that was gripping his without saying a word, finding it hard to believe that this seemingly delicate and weak hand could possess such strength.

Tazaki Toru couldn't even pull his hand back.

Helpless, Tazaki Toru had no choice but to sit down again.

Even so, the restraints on her wrists remained firmly in place.

To be honest, Toru Tazaki was a little flustered; he couldn't quite understand what was going on.

Tazaki Toru always thought that he knew Hina Hitomiya quite well.

But this seems like arrogance on his part.

At least at this moment, he couldn't fathom Yang Gongfei's thoughts.

It wasn't until he felt the girl's fingers trembling slightly that he suddenly realized the unease that was about to overflow in her heart.

Her expression, her voice, all concealed by gravity, revealed the fear and anxiety hidden beneath the vortex.

Tazaki Toru suddenly realized something, and a silent atmosphere gradually spread around the two of them.

Suddenly, Toru Tazaki sighed softly.

Tazaki Toru ultimately couldn't become someone who runs away; it's hard to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"This is merely my conjecture. If I am wrong, please forgive me, Miss Yang Gong, and consider it as my excessive self-consciousness."

The girl didn't reply, she just nodded quietly.

"Could it be that Miss Yang's recent troubles stem from me?"

"........."

Tazaki Toru kept a close eye on the girl's reaction, and gently shook her head.

"It's not Tazaki-sensei's fault, it's my own."

Tazaki Toru is not a slow-witted person; Hiyomiya Hina's subtext is, "It's related to you, but the problem lies with me."

Tazaki Toru couldn't describe how he felt at that moment.

Tazaki Toru hesitated for a very short time; as he said, he was the type who, once he made up his mind, would not waver.

He reached out his other hand and gently placed it on Yang Gongfei's head.

Her body visibly trembled, but she didn't stop Tazaki Toru's actions; she simply lowered her head even further.

The girl's hair was so soft, it felt like touching suspended silk.

I hope she won't mind my abruptness.

But apart from that, Tazaki Toru couldn't think of a better way to comfort her.

Ultimately, Toru Tazaki had little experience dealing with girls and didn't know how to use sweet talk to make them happy.

The only way to influence them is through clumsy, honest words, prying them open little by little.

This is how we treat Hina Aoki, this is how we treat Rin Tachibana, and this is the only way we can treat Hina Hitomiya.

"Miss Yang Gong, are you feeling uneasy?"

"Yes, I'm very uneasy and scared. I can't sleep well at night."

Like Tazaki Toru recently, he also couldn't sleep all night.

"afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid that Ms. Tazaki won't look at me."

"........."

“I often suspect that I am an incredibly selfish girl. Even though I am not yet capable of taking on any major responsibilities, I still hope that you will focus all your attention on me.”

Her pupils were still spinning, her eyes deep and unfathomable. In this state, Yang Gongfei Na seemed to be able to vent all the things she couldn't do or say on ordinary days.

For example, the wrists of Tazaki Toru, which are currently restrained, show no signs of loosening.

The soft, quiet girl of the past has vanished, replaced by her undisguised desires, which have quietly crumbled.

“I have been watching Ms. Hitomiya’s performance closely,” Toru Tazaki said.

"Can you guarantee you'll only be watching me?"

"I can't guarantee that."

"……Why?"

“Not only Ms. Aya, but I also need to keep a close eye on the others in MyGO and Mujica.”

"You always say that."
