Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Wow, that's amazing! Actually, I can play the guitar a little bit too, but when they asked me what my special skills were during the audition, I didn't dare to call it a special skill, so I kept it a secret."

Hina Aoki glanced at her silently.

She understands this mentality; she has done similar things herself.

"Spring Shadows, what a great song! I really want to hear it."

"have a look?"

Consort Yang nodded firmly: "Let's see what kind of person could write this song."

"I bet it's a girl, preferably an older one."

"Why do you say that?"

"Hey~~~ If it were a boy, and a young one at that, wouldn't it be so romantic to have me sing the songs he wrote?"

Hina Aoki couldn't understand.

"That's how all the romance comics lately are. They draw plots that are detached from reality but make me fantasize. Of course I'll yearn for them!"

"Miss Hitomi, is it really okay for you to keep talking about love like this?" Hina Aoki couldn't help but remind her.

"Huh? Why?"

"We are young female voice actors."

"But that's the kind of romance I long for."

"........."

A slightly strange emotion rose in Hina Aoki's heart.

Could it be that she wasn't satisfied with just taking the song, and now she wants to take it away too...?

Hina Aoki took a deep breath for a while, putting aside this nonsensical thought; she had no other thoughts about Toru Tazaki.

It's just that I'm reluctant to part with "Spring Shadows".

Aoki Hina suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation.

"I should go and prepare to practice the piano."

"Um... I'm sorry to have kept you so long. Thank you for talking to me for so long."

"fine."

Hina Aoki doesn't actually dislike her.

Unlike her, Yang Gongfei Na was selected step by step through her own efforts.

As for Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana, their positions as members were predetermined within Hibiki Studio from the very beginning of the project, and they were even used as a benchmark to recruit new members.

Hina Aoki couldn't bring herself to be jealous of a girl who worked so hard.

"Miss Aoki."

As soon as Aoki Hina stood up, she heard a girl's voice behind her, and she slowly turned her head.

"Here, take this."

Hina Aoki stared blankly at the candy that had appeared in her hand...?

"This is?"

“Mint chocolate,” she said.

Why are you giving me this?

"Because I don't like it."

"what?"

Miss Yanggong chuckled, covering her mouth. "Actually, it's because Miss Aoki looks like someone who would like mint flavor."

"I really don't dislike it."

"See, I told you cats love mint."

"........."

She smiled happily and waved to Hina Aoki.

"Let's talk again next time, Hina-chan."

61. Have you long forgotten that I'm just an ordinary girl?

Tsukishima, Kubo family.

Tazaki Toru sat alone in the practice room on the second floor, silently flipping through his organized notes.

The tranquil moonlight streamed in through the cracks in the windowsill, clinging to his fingers casually resting on it. The starlight wasn't dazzling; it merely served as an embellishment, a backdrop suspended high in the sky.

As Tazaki Toru flipped through the journal, his gaze softened considerably.

Those worthless things, the last things he left in this world, the only things that can prove he once existed.

Tazaki Toru could not give up no matter what.

If emotion and empathy are the most precious talents for a musician, then Toru Nazaki truly deserves the title of genius.

Those hasty outbursts of emotion transformed into neat, black characters.

Now, this has become a source of inspiration for Toru Tazaki, whose fingers dance across the keyboard as he hums in a deep voice.

—Today I still couldn't utter a sound, swallowing my emotions back into my heart, writing them all into drafts, and that's how I spent thousands of nights.

The songs he composed himself are proof that he once lived.

He would play and sing repeatedly, adding embellishments to parts that didn't meet his expectations. He could spend an entire day in the music room, from morning till night, doing this over and over again.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door and a girl appeared that Toru Tazaki was brought back to reality from his own world.

With one hand on her hip and an apple in her mouth, Tachibana Rin walked over to Tazaki Tooru and leaned slightly forward to examine the notebook that Tazaki Tooru had laid out on the table.

"How's the new song going?" she asked.

That's strange. When did Ms. Tachibana become interested in his songwriting?

"Hmm... I don't know where to begin, let's just let things take their course."

That's the thing about songwriting; if you get stuck on a single point, you won't be able to write anything decent.

The fact that Tazaki Toru can sit here quietly shows that his inspiration has not run dry.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Tachibana Rin said, "Let me see," and moved closer without further ado.

She seemed to have already taken a shower; her long black hair wasn't completely dry yet. Her thin, loose pajamas had the neckline slightly open, causing her to bend over slightly. Tazaki Toru quickly averted his gaze, maintaining his gentlemanly manners and refusing to look at her.

Unfortunately, Toru Tazaki's eyes couldn't keep up with his gentlemanly demeanor; his gaze was a beat too slow.

You underestimated her.

Tazaki Toru thought.

"Don't write any more weird songs next time, or Hina is going to become completely abnormal."

Tazaki Toru was completely confused.

"Miss Aoki?"

He turned to look at Tachibana Rin, whose behavior was truly audacious. She was still staring intently at Tazaki Toru's notebook, her collar generously open.

Tazaki Toru quickly looked away, but Tachibana Rin caught her slightly flustered expression on the spot and looked down at her in confusion.

Realizing what was happening, she quickly covered her collar, glaring at Toru Tazaki with embarrassment and anger.

"Tazaki, you weren't looking at anything strange just now, were you?"

“It’s alright, Ms. Tachibana, you’re not surprised at all, I promise.” Tazaki Toru immediately looked at Tachibana Rin with a serious expression.

"???"

In short, this is the umpteenth time that Tachibana Rin has been unable to figure out how to communicate with this man.

Typical straight male thinking, hard to explain.

"I don't need your promises."

She moved a little away from Tazaki Toru and gave a very sharp "humph".

The sound was like ten thousand larks singing at the same time.

"You have time to stand here daydreaming, but you don't even bother to check on Hina," she suddenly blurted out.

"What happened to Miss Aoki?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Then..." Tazaki Toru asked, puzzled.

"Can't I care about her if there's nothing wrong? That's why I say you boys are just clueless in this area."

Tazaki Toru suddenly didn't know what to say.

Rin Tachibana felt that some things were inappropriate for her to say, so she made a face at him and left in a hurry.

After the girl left, Tazaki Toru thought for a long time, then closed his notebook and walked out of the music room.

Upon entering the living room on the first floor, the lights were bright, and laughter from guests on a variety show could be heard coming from the television.

As you approach, you can see a petite figure lying on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket of the same color as the sofa. If you don't look closely, you'll hardly notice her.

It's Hina Aoki.

“Miss Aoki, sleeping here is bad for your spine…”

I thought Aoki Hina was asleep, but I found that her eyes were sticking out from under the blanket, reflecting the fluorescent light of the television, and they looked quite bright.

She glanced at Toru Tazaki.

"I'm sorry, Tazaki-kun, I'm not feeling well today."

That was all she could say.

Tazaki Toru paused for a moment, then looked enlightened and turned to walk into his bedroom.
