Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"You always ask that question."

Hinata was speechless, unsure of what to say, and could only squeeze Toru Tazaki's wrist even tighter.

Actually, she has very little grip strength.

The palms are soft and delicate; instead of hurting, it feels like being softly enveloped.

But there was a magnetic force emanating from within him that attracted him like a magnet.

"Tazaki-sensei, you said you liked me before, right?"

"Ah."

Do you like my voice?

"Yes."

"What about her face? Her personality? Her body?"

Although it sounded somewhat ambiguous, Toru Tazaki could roughly understand what Hina Hitomi wanted to express.

He even felt that Yang Gongfeina in this state was more approachable and easier to communicate with than she was usually.

She knows how to speak her mind.

Coincidentally, Toru Tazaki is also a man who speaks his mind.

"If Miss Yang Gong thinks she is a selfish girl, I am probably no less so."

"I also have my own selfish desires, even to the point of greed. I love everything Miss Yang Gong said earlier."

"favorite?"

"This is a way of saying that I'm ashamed to admit I 'like' it, so I pretend to be profound."

Now that things have come to this point, it seems that Toru Tazaki has come to accept it.

He often subtly replaces ambiguous words with other things.

Because I don't want to lie, and I'm afraid of hurting their self-esteem, I sometimes have to be ambiguous.

Ultimately, it's because Tazaki Toru also harbors feelings for them.

It was only due to interpersonal relationships in reality that I had to change my address.

He can't very well tell every female voice actress, "I like you."

If you say it too often, the word "like" will become cheap.

Tazaki Toru didn't want that.

"Tazaki-sensei seems to be a rather awkward person as well."

"Perhaps that is true."

"I have never liked to show my shortcomings, which mostly comes from my inherent arrogance. I think being judged and disliked by others is a very boring and troublesome thing."

"The worst thing is that people will realize what kind of man I am, which will damage my image."

"I am far from being as perfect as you imagine."

"I have never met anyone better than Mr. Tazaki."

In normal mode, Yang Gongfei would not easily say these words, but now she can say them exactly as they were.

Even among girls with such distinct personalities as MyGO, Himeko Hina is an extremely special one.

She lacked Aoki Hina's social skills and was not as outspoken as Tachibana Rin.

Sometimes soft and yielding, sometimes firm and resolute, it can be incredibly tough when releasing gravity.

If Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin are two sides of the same coin, then Himegami Hina, even without anyone to be her soulmate, is her own other half.

"That being said, it is an undeniable fact that I have been focusing too much of my energy on Miss Yang Gong lately."

"Because I'm terrible?"

Tazaki Toru slowly shook his head: "Because I had expectations of you, and I arbitrarily placed those expectations on you, did that cause you trouble?"

“There are some.”

The girl's answer surprised Toru Tazaki.

"If you're too kind to me, Ms. Tazaki, I'll start to want to act cute towards you, and maybe one day I'll even want to test you."

"Testing me?"

"I'm testing you. If I become lazy and no longer diligent, will you still care about me as much as before?"

"Will you still take me to a live house to see a show and see penguins?"

"Come out with me on the weekend and try all the snacks in the streets and alleys."

As the girl spoke, she slowly released her grip, allowing Tazaki Toru's wrist to move.

Yang Gongfeina clenched her palms little by little, forming small fists, which she placed in front of her chest.

"My Fina Fist doesn't seem to have hit you at all."

Her tone was dejected, and the swirling in her eyes was gradually fading.

Her gravity was always effective, but when facing Tazaki Toru, her limit was to immobilize him.

When facing Aoki Hina, her gravity was so strong that Aoki Hina felt fear and retreated.

But for Toru Tazaki alone, gravity simply wouldn't work.

“Then… if Miss Yanggong can grant me one request, I will grant you one wish.”

"Eh?"

These were the words spoken by Tazaki Toru after careful consideration.

"A wish? Anything is fine?"

"I will do my best to do anything I can."

"Even just taking me to Antarctica to see penguins?"

Tazaki Toru never expected her to say such a thing. After thinking it over and over again, he still nodded.

Of course, this was just a joke from Aries Princess Fina.

The key point is that this was a promise made by Toru Tazaki himself.

"What does Ms. Tazaki want me to promise?"

"At MyGO's debut live next month, perform the Takamatsu Akari you envision. If it moves me, I'll grant you anything."

The swirling eddies in the girl's eyes gradually faded, and her brown eyes returned to normal.

She looked around shyly, lowered her head, and then carefully raised it again.

"Tazaki-sensei, why are you willing to go to such lengths?"

"Does this need a reason?"

"unnecessary?"

"If I had to give a reason, it would simply be that I wanted to verify whether my expectations of you were correct."

Yang Gongfeina found it unbelievable and thought the reason was quite ordinary.

But Toru Tazaki's expression was solemn, as if she had been encouraged by something.

"...Okay, I will definitely play Gao Songdeng well."

"And then again..."

"I'm throwing a Fina punch at you."

……

……

After saying goodbye to Himeko Hina, Tazaki Toru left the girl's house alone, silently walked to the station, and boarded the tram.

The night view outside the window rushed past, and Tazaki Toru was lost in thought.

Tazaki Toru is not a slow-witted person, but similarly, he is not 100% honest.

Although they don't lie intentionally, they do know when to conceal things.

What Yang Gongfei said wasn't the case. He clearly realized this, but he didn't dare to respond directly.

This feeling is absolutely terrible.

Am I really such a pathetic guy who can't see the girl's feelings?

This is the last thing Tazaki Toru wants to do.

However, despite his reluctance to admit it, he had to face a certain fact.

Beneath his distress lay a hidden emotion.

No one would resist this sentiment.

To receive recognition or even affection from girls you like.

Even Tazaki Toru couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and even a tiny bit, really just a tiny bit, of joy.

One day in early June, Toru Tazaki went to King Records to attend a composition meeting.

This is basically discussed with the other party's music team; the artist themselves does not need to attend.

These days, Tazaki Toru's troubles have not lessened, and he can vaguely see some ominous signs in Himiya Hina.

Staying in Bushido's recording studio would make him feel extremely awkward.

It's not that I don't want to see them, it's just that Tazaki Toru feels a little awkward.

He began to feel fortunate that he had taken the job with King Records, and that staying away from female voice actors was the right thing to do.

The composition meeting ended around noon.
