Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Speaking of which, is there any follow-up to what happened last time?"

"Last time?"

"Oh, you really don't remember? It's about that two-timing thing."

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru looked around and saw that there was no one else besides them.

"I have never said anything like that, and please stop saying things that can be misunderstood."

"I know, there's no one around."

After saying that, Miss Minase's eyes darted around.

"If you don't mind, I can give you some advice."

Tazaki Toru immediately looked wary: "No need."

Why do you look like you don't believe me?

"How can I trust someone who says they love scumbags?"

Miss Minase was amused and giggled.

"Mr. Tazaki seems to have some prejudice against me."

Tazaki Toru doesn't think this is prejudice.

"The more you act like this, the more my competitive spirit is aroused. You might not believe it, but I do have some experience with love triangles, which might be helpful to you."

Tazaki Toru said sternly, "Excuse my bluntness, but I can only see that Ms. Minase is just trying to tease me for fun."

"Don't be so blunt, it's embarrassing."

"........."

Do older female voice actors all have such thick skin?

Tazaki Toru felt uneasy, fearing that the people around him would end up like that in the future.

However, a thought struck him, and he fell into deep thought.

First of all, despite her petite stature, Ms. Minase is actually an older woman.

Although Tazaki Toru didn't sense any mature qualities of an older person in her.

Secondly, Ms. Minase is a voice actress.

She is several levels above the obscure female voice actresses around Toru Tazaki.

As for her insights and such, Tazaki Toru couldn't tell whether she was joking or not.

But now, Toru Tazaki really can't find anyone else to talk to about these things.

Although Ms. Minase doesn't seem very composed, people who are always so carefree and playful are often surprisingly tight-lipped.

Perhaps there will be some useful suggestions.

Tazaki Toru is really at his wit's end. Lately, because of those female voice actresses, he can't sleep at night. All he sees when he closes his eyes are those girls' faces.

Perhaps listening to the advice of others is a good choice.

Whether or not to adopt it is ultimately up to you.

"No delay?" Toru Tazaki gradually relaxed.

Miss Minase blinked her bright eyes: "To be honest, it won't take up any time."

Then, she changed the subject.

"But I can't just ask anyone to do this; I haven't even had lunch yet."

"I understand, I'll treat you."

"Oh? So generous?"

"But let's skip it today. I'm very picky about food, and I need to maintain my weight recently, so let's skip the meal and just treat me to something to drink."

She wasn't polite at all, even though she was a senior.

So, Toru Tazaki followed Ms. Minase to a nearby cafe.

Although Ms. Minase spoke in a very flippant manner, she only ordered the cheapest coffee, which allowed Toru Tazaki to see a little more of her true nature.

"Eek... This is the first time I've ever given a life advice talk to a boy younger than me, wow wow wow."

"It sounds like they just want to see me make a fool of myself."

"No, that's not true at all. Please treat me as a reliable senior."

"hope so."

Tazaki Toru pondered for a moment, without beating around the bush or making a fuss; he was never like that.

"Recently, I've been confessed to by three girls."

"Hey~~~ That's awesome."

Miss Minase exclaimed in surprise, but she wasn't really surprised, since Toru Tazaki did indeed have a face that girls liked.

So? Are there any of them you like?

Tazaki Toru found it difficult to answer this question.

Although it was difficult to answer, he hated lying.

Perhaps it was precisely because he was facing someone with whom he had no connection to his life that Toru Tazaki was able to speak.

"I think... I like them all."

I guessed so.

"Why do you say that?"

"If you only like one of them, or don't like either of them, then there's no need to consult with anyone."

"……really."

Miss Minase's eyes sparkled with curiosity as she pressed on, "So, what about them...?"

Are they all female voice actresses?

543. If you like it, just take it all. It's no big deal. (Seeking monthly votes)

Tazaki Toru was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with whether or not she's a female voice actress?"

"No connection, just pure curiosity."

"...Then I have no comment."

Miss Minase gave a "bored" look and didn't press the matter further.

With slender fingers, she picked up a metal spoon and stirred the coffee cup with a clinking sound, saying listlessly, "If you ask me, if you like it, just take it all. It's no big deal."

"How could you do something so greedy?"

Miss Minase chuckled as if amused, her gaze mocking: "Now you know how greedy you are? Why didn't you think of that when you were dangling them like peacocks?"

"It's as if you saw it with your own eyes."

"Sigh! Men, when they're flirting with girls, they all use this gentle act. But once they've fallen into the trap, they'll say they only see them as friends. I'm all too familiar with it."

Tazaki Toru had no interest in her personal history.

But it cannot be denied that not long ago, Tazaki Toru really did think that way.

He treated those girls as close friends, but they all had ulterior motives towards him.

If Tazaki Toru truly harbors no romantic feelings for them, and has a clear conscience, then so be it. He can simply accept it as their unrequited love and openly reject them.

Unfortunately, Toru Tazaki now has to admit that his claims about them so far are completely untenable.

What do you mean by "likes", "single support", or "fans"?

Ultimately, it's because Toru Tazaki can't believe that his feelings for them are clearly "love".

If this is what people commonly call liking or loving someone, why do I have these feelings for multiple girls?

Tazaki Toru concluded that this was more akin to affection for a friend or an idol, and he was convinced of this.

However, as more and more girls openly express their feelings, this self-persuasion tactic gradually reveals its flaws.

Tazaki Toru is not a liar.

Fortunately, when he realized this "lie" he had told himself, he did not choose to continue to ignore it, but actively sought ways to save himself.

Miss Minase paused suddenly as she stirred her coffee, letting out a soft "Ah."

"Mr. Tazaki, are you perhaps the type who strongly dislikes group activities?"

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but look puzzled: "Isn't this how a normal person thinks?"

Hey hey~~~

"What does this meaningful 'Hey~~~' mean?"

"It was just a bit of a surprise."

"Accident?"

"I thought Mr. Tazaki was deliberately playing the role of the hunter, luring them in, making them unable to leave him, and finally forcing them to agree, thus creating a beautiful harem."

"Isn't that scum?"

"Tsk! Don't speak so rudely." Miss Minase glared at him with displeasure.

Tazaki Toru felt completely bewildered. Wasn't what he said the right thing to do?

"Moreover, to be honest, I have... a girl I've had my eye on for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Minase raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

She thought Tazaki Toru was the kind of man who didn't even understand who he liked.

Even today, Mika Kohinata still holds an incredibly important place in Toru Tazaki's heart.

Even though she didn't directly reciprocate Tazaki Toru's feelings, Tazaki Toru still found it difficult to change his mind.
