Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

However, he couldn't ignore the feelings of the other girls either, which led to the current situation.

Tazaki Toru dislikes escapism and silence, and is unwilling to be a man forced to act; he tries his best to do something about it.

"One? Didn't you just say you liked them all?"

"It should be... different."

"If you like something, you like it. There's no difference. If it's really different, then you don't like it. It's that simple."

What was clearly a very complicated matter seemed to become a simple choice between two options in Ms. Minase's words.

Tazaki Toru sighed helplessly, "If we follow Ms. Minase's theory, wouldn't I be a man who falls in love with every woman I meet?"

Miss Minase's eyes widened: "Huh?! Isn't that right?!"

Tazaki Toru opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Based on the conclusions drawn so far, I might really be that kind of man.

To be honest, this was somewhat hard for him to accept.

Miss Minase narrowed her eyes, her face full of amusement as if she were watching a show.

What to say.

Looking at these things from a detached perspective is indeed more exciting than what's portrayed in TV dramas, and you don't have to feel pressured.

Seeing that Tazaki Toru looked deep in thought, Minase waved her hand with a smile.

"Besides, you already have someone you like, and you not only don't reject them, but you also say you like them both."

"Mr. Tazaki, you have the potential to be a scumbag."

Tazaki Toru could only manage a wry smile.

Faced with Ms. Minase's sarcasm, Toru Tazaki couldn't find a way to refute her.

He has always adhered to the principle of treating people with sincerity, trying his best to speak the truth, and not causing trouble for anyone.

But without realizing it, he seemed to have been changed by the female voice actresses around him.

He, who used to focus solely on playing the piano and composing music, gradually transformed into a terrible man who suffered from insomnia due to female voice actors.

Fortunately, Toru Tazaki has one advantage.

Once he clearly realizes his mistake, he doesn't ignore it, but faces it with a positive attitude.

"Ms. Minase, you always speak with the air of someone who's been through it all. I've learned a lot from you."

Miss Minase readily nodded: "Because I've been there, after all."

"But... I still want to be a sincere person, I don't want to use tricks, and I don't want to deceive them."

"That won't work. If a scumbag doesn't have some tricks up his sleeve to play the victim and act innocent, how can he win a girl's sympathy and eventually force her to willingly depend on him?"

"Ms. Minase, do you think this is okay?"

"Don't worry about whether there are any problems or not, as long as it works, that's all that matters."

"If you want to be a pure and innocent person, you'll end up with nothing."

Tazaki Toru was speechless for a moment.

If Mika Kohinata knew that the singer she admires has this kind of personality, I wonder what she would think.

“I don’t want to possess them, I just… want to be by their side and see how far they can go on this path.”

Miss Minase quietly looked at Toru Tazaki. Perhaps this was the man's true feeling, but Miss Minase didn't care at all. She took a small sip of her coffee.

“Mr. Tazaki is a bit… no, deep down he’s a very arrogant person.”

"……I know."

Miss Minase raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Since you know that, I can only tell you that if you continue to act so tepidly, you will probably not end up in a good situation."

"If what you're after is hurting yourself and everyone else just to be a pure and innocent person with a clear conscience, then I have nothing to say. We're not on the same path."

"However, if you have even the slightest selfish thought in your heart, or have ever had the idea of ​​possessing all these girls, then..."

"Perhaps I can give you an idea."

544. It wasn't being a jerk who ruined you, it was the female voice actress who ruined you.

Before talking to Ms. Minase, Toru Tazaki might have fantasized that she might actually be able to offer some useful advice.

But after talking with Ms. Minase, Toru Tazaki realized the differences in their thinking.

Ms. Minase's methods were always based on pretense and deception, which made Toru Tazaki agree to date both of them at the same time.

During this time, find a girl among them who loves him to the point of obsession, persuade her, and then use her to persuade the other girls.

Anyway, we've done everything we were supposed to do back then. Girls are shy, and you've already taken advantage of them. What if they give in to you? Wouldn't that be a happy ending for everyone?

While success cannot be guaranteed, it's still much better than what Tazaki Toru is like now.

Most importantly, Tazaki Toru will not suffer any losses by doing this.

Even if things fall apart in the end, Toru Tazaki won't lose anything. At most, he'll just be labeled a cheating scumbag, which won't hurt him much.

I must say, this idea is absolutely wicked.

Tazaki Toru was shocked and couldn't understand how someone with a 36-degree mouth could utter such cold words.

If Mika Kohinata were there, her idealized image would probably be shattered.

After Ms. Minase finished speaking, seeing that Toru Tazaki did not respond, she revealed a confident expression.

"Don't worry, this method has been tested, I guarantee it will work."

"How was it tested?"

"Don't worry about that."

Tazaki Toru, of course, couldn't do as Minase-san said, and he sighed helplessly.

"Thank you, Ms. Minase."

"Oh? You agreed?"

"Thank you for listening to my troubles, I'm really sorry."

"It seems Mr. Tazaki has no intention of listening to me."

"Yes, I still don't want to do something that hurts people."

Miss Minase was not surprised at all.

"Mr. Tazaki, let me share another piece of advice with you."

Tazaki Toru hesitated slightly before saying, "I'm all ears."

"The moment you are liked by them, you are destined to hurt others. This has nothing to do with your own thoughts or behavior, but is an unavoidable fact."

Perhaps she is right; it is a difficult problem in itself that Tazaki Toru wants to avoid hurting them.

Since that's the case, we might as well give them a good lesson and a deep, unforgettable pain.

Once they are licking their wounds in a corner, he will fully utilize his tenderness to make them unable to leave him.

Even if the process is full of suffering, at least the ending is satisfactory.

That's what Ms. Minase was thinking.

However, she seemed to have underestimated Toru Tazaki.

Or rather, she simply didn't understand what kind of person Tazaki Toru was.

Even so, I still find it difficult to do.

"I never imagined that this train of life would reach such a beautiful and peaceful destination."

"I'm just an ordinary person, anyone you'd see anywhere. If a girl is willing to like someone as boring as me, I should reciprocate with my sincerity."

"If I did that, becoming the kind of person they hate in response to them, I would be trampling on their affection."

"I think that's the most hurtful thing."

“I have never considered myself a particularly noble person, but since someone has shown me sincerity, I should… respond with sincerity in return.”

Upon hearing this, Ms. Minase lowered her eyes slightly, silently gazing at the street scene outside the window, her thoughts wandering.

After a long while, she looked at Tazaki Toru again and gave him a bright smile.

"What?! You already have the answer, you don't need my advice at all."

"I really thought you came to me for life advice, and I was even thinking of experiencing being a reliable senior that people depend on."

After saying that, Ms. Minase paused.

"But you have to treat me to coffee."

Ms. Minase's change of attitude was so rapid that it left Toru Tazaki somewhat taken aback.

"Miss Minase, are you perhaps testing me?"

Miss Minase waved her hand: "I don't have time to do such roundabout things."

"Besides, this is your problem, and if anything happens, it has nothing to do with me. I only choose the strategy with the most comments."

Tazaki Toru was both amused and exasperated.

"But I don't dislike your answer just now."

"Thank you."

Tazaki Toru thought that perhaps it was right for him to say these things today.

If it weren't for Ms. Minase acting as his negotiation partner, and he had to rack his brains on his own, Tazaki Toru would probably still be sleepless tonight.

But at least for now, he has figured out many things and understood his true feelings.

While liking multiple girls is certainly despicable, he doesn't need to be so hard on himself.

At least, he didn't hide or deceive them, nor did he squander their sincere feelings.
