Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

568. Please, Sister Li, stop roasting the lamb.

"Please use it."

"Thank you."

Tazaki Toru placed the brewed black tea on the coffee table.

The house has a lot of these kinds of supplies, tea, coffee beans, and the corresponding tools, you name it.

That floor-to-ceiling window was incredibly long, as if it could hold the entire city of Tokyo.

The night was like crystal, but compared to the extremely luxurious Tokyo night view and Tokyo Tower, Sasaki Riko still found the cup of black tea in front of her and the person who brewed it more attractive.

Sasaki Riko looked around at the furnishings and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't you get bored living in such a spacious house all by yourself?"

"Maybe there will be, but ultimately there are things I want to do, so I can still tolerate it."

"What do you want to do?"

Tazaki Toru pointed to a certain place: "There's a recording studio there. You can play the piano or something when you're free."

"Wow~~~ That's amazing. This is the first time I've ever seen a house with a recording studio."

"Want to go take a look?"

"Can I? I want to see it!"

Tazaki Toru led the girl to the recording studio, and as soon as she pushed open the door, Sasaki Riko was amazed by the series of professional equipment inside.

This equipment is almost identical to that in a professional recording studio, which makes me wonder about the background of Mr. Tazaki.

"It's just like karaoke."

The girl's voice was sucked into the wall and couldn't be heard outside at all.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but smile at this comment. He stood behind the keyboard and gently pressed a few notes.

"Then, Miss Sasaki, you can request a song. Any song I know is fine."

"Anything is fine? Then... how about 'Black Birthday'?"

Tazaki Toru knew she would say that, and as his fingers touched the piano keys, the melody gradually began to play.

It seems that only when playing the piano can Toru Tazaki temporarily forget about those girls.

Even today, music remains an indispensable part of Toru Tazaki's life; it is his very essence.

The girls who appeared around him seemed determined to gradually fill the blank musical score in his heart with their own colors.

She wrote one section, and she wrote another, and they were mixed together. The notes inevitably repelled each other, producing dissonant sounds.

But once all these discordant notes disappeared, Toru Tazaki gradually began to stare blankly at the blank musical score in his mind.

Sometimes I'll stare blankly for an entire afternoon, not knowing what to write.

Fortunately, someone requested a song for him tonight, saving him from worrying about it.

As her fingers moved rapidly across the piano keys, the girl's confident and passionate singing voice filled the air.

Even if he couldn't stay for long, at least for a few minutes, Tazaki Toru could clear his mind and calmly listen to her singing.

……

……

A week has passed since Toru Tazaki moved out of Tsukishima.

During this week, neither Aoki Hina nor Tachibana Rin made any unusual moves; they were both unusually quiet.

Although Tachibana Rin would often send messages to Tazaki Toru to ask if he had secretly brought girls home, she never once came to visit him.

Perhaps it was Aoki Hina's instruction, or perhaps she herself didn't dare to continue doing anything outrageous, lest Toru Tazaki feel offended.

As a result, Tazaki Toru finally breathed a sigh of relief, but somewhere deep in his heart, a slight feeling of loneliness arose.

Humans are truly contradictory.

This is especially true for greedy people.

Time quietly slipped into late June, with less than a month left until MyGO's first live performance.

Even those girls can distinguish between what's important and what's not. When they're not being willful with Tazaki Toru, they always give their all during practice.

But there are always exceptions to everything.

There was a girl who, even during such a tense and special time, still couldn't forget Tazaki Toru.

After finishing her MyGO practice for the day, Yang Gongfei stood in front of the vending machine for a long time, hesitating to press the drink button.

During this period, Toru Tazaki rarely appeared at the recording studio.

For her, this was actually a good thing. Even now, Yang Gongfeina still didn't know what kind of expression she should use when facing him.

If Toru Tazaki were there, she would lose her composure, singing off-key and forgetting her lyrics.

But she still felt that things couldn't continue like this.

Although Aoki Hina had already told her the secret, she was still one step short of actually putting it into practice.

"Little lamb, aren't you going to buy it?"

A soft female voice came from beside her. Yang Gongfei turned her head and met a square face.

"Hmm... make some sauce."

Both bands have finished their practice.

Yang Gongfei smiled awkwardly, quickly pressed a button randomly, and a can of unsweetened black coffee came out, her face immediately showing worry.

"Little lamb, you can actually drink black coffee?"

Yang Gongfei chuckled twice, her fingers nervously holding the black coffee, hesitant to open it.

The two girls started chatting casually, and somehow the conversation gradually turned to Toru Tazaki.

This seems to be a common problem among these female voice actors.

No matter how far-fetched the topic may be, it will eventually come back to that person.

"On the day he moved, he made a really delicious stewed beef, which surprised both Pear Sauce and me."

Hina Hiyomiya probably knew that Ms. Tazaki had moved to a new house, because other members of MyGO would occasionally talk about this kind of topic.

At those times, although Yang Gongfei Na didn't dare to ask in detail, she listened more carefully than anyone else.

Whether Aoki Hina deliberately spread this information is anyone's guess.

"Huh? Pear Jam is here too?" Yang Gongfei asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I was playing at my house at the time."

Ms. Takao was inevitably a little guilty when she said this, after all, she was the one who took the initiative to contact Sasaki Riko.

She hadn't expected Sasaki Riko to arrive so quickly.

In short, there's no need to go into those details.

"She said that there's a super luxurious recording studio in Ms. Tazaki's new house, with excellent recording quality. Ah~ ah~~ I really want to go and see it too."

Seeing the longing look on Ms. Takao's face, Hina Himegami pursed her lips and remained silent.

He is also the lead singer of the band.

She not only visited his home, but also sang in his home's recording studio.

Why don't I get the same treatment?

Is it because she's so terrible?

But he clearly said he liked his own voice.

A strange feeling arose at this moment, as if invisible needles were piercing her scalp one after another, scraping back and forth in her mind.

Extremely uncomfortable.

Yang Gongfei stared at the black coffee in her hand, her delicate fingers slowly tightening, and she lowered her head in silence.

It’s weird.

She didn't drink a single drop.

Why does my mouth taste bitter?

569. Actually, she didn't really like stewed beef that much.

The night in Tokyo never truly settles.

After a long day of work, Yang Gongfei got off the tram; it was already night outside the station.

The air was sticky, carrying the lingering heat of the day when inhaled.

The wind blowing on me was slightly warm, brushing against my skin. The aroma of grilled skewers, tempura, and sweet, creamy crepes wafted from under the curtains of the roadside izakaya.

These flavors she used to love, carried by the wind, came to her, but the girl had no interest in them as usual.

Even though I hadn't eaten anything all day, my stomach was surprisingly quiet.

I used to worry about my stomach making a lot of noise while doing voice acting, but I didn't have to worry about that today.

Standing in front of the bakery, gazing at the dazzling array of products in the window, I found myself craving something else.

I want to eat stewed beef.

It must be admitted that what Ms. Takao said really affected her.

Yang Gongfei is a girl who is easily swayed by the atmosphere. If she hears only words of praise, she will become lightheaded.

If it is filled with malicious ridicule and slander, it is only natural that one will be discouraged, heartbroken and in tears.

Even the unintentional words and actions of others cannot stop her from paying attention.

Moreover, it concerned Tazaki Toru.

The city's hustle and bustle, like a viscous, luminous gel, clings firmly to the warm early summer air, refusing to settle.

Despite being on a street she knew intimately, Yang Gongfei almost got lost on this road she had walked countless times.
