Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

579. Playing the role of Takasatsu Tama was the greatest happiness of her life.

In front of the station.

Hina Himegami had changed back into her own clothes and was now bowing slightly to Toru Tazaki.

"I'm really grateful to Ms. Tazaki for accompanying me today."

Be careful on your way back.

"Well, I know."

Hinata Himegami smiled, waved to Toru Tazaki, and turned to leave.

She had only taken a few steps when she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to look at him again.

"Um...Tazaki-sensei."

"Ok?"

"What you said earlier, were you really not just trying to make me happy?"

"What I said before?"

"It's...you said joy, joy..."

Yang Gongfei bit her lip and stammered as she spoke, her previous courage nowhere to be seen.

Tazaki Toru understood: "Of course I'm telling the truth."

Seeing that Tazaki Toru readily admitted it, the girl couldn't help but smile with a dazed, innocent look on her face, her rosy cheeks making her exceptionally charming.

She scratched her head shyly: "It's like a dream, I'm too scared to sleep tonight."

Why is that?

"What if I wake up tomorrow and find out it was all a dream?"

This childlike worry did not make Tazaki Toru laugh out loud; instead, he remained silent.

"Miss Yang Gong, don't you think I'm extremely hated?"

"Huh? Why?"

“I… failed to give you the response you wanted, and not only that, I also said some very rude things.”

"Hmm... While it is indeed a bit of a shame, I don't think it's impolite."

"At least, I understand that in Tazaki-sensei's heart, we are all placed in the same position. You worry about us, and you also have an ordinary side like me."

“I’m just an ordinary person,” Toru Tazaki said.

Hina Himegami smiled and didn't try to provoke Toru Tazaki.

Actually, I was quite happy.

"Due to work reasons, I rarely have time to get together with everyone in MyGO except for daily rehearsals, and I have always felt guilty and annoyed about this."

"But now I feel that when I was with Ms. Tazaki, their shadows were probably there too. Thinking about this, I feel at ease for some reason."

Tazaki Toru couldn't understand her gossiping and had no idea about the logic or connection between it.

But this doesn't stop Tazaki Toru from thinking she's sincere and cute.

"Being able to play the role of Takamatsu Akari, meet everyone at MyGO, meet Tazaki-sensei... is the greatest happiness of my life."

A lifetime... huh.

Such words coming from a girl in her early twenties inevitably seem naive, ridiculous, and even a little heavy.

However, Toru Tazaki would never laugh at her, but would regard her naivety as innocence and respond with his own truest thoughts.

"Yes, me too."

The gentle evening breeze after the rain ruffled her hair, and the girl smiled brightly.

……

……

After parting ways with Himeko Hina, Tazaki Toru boarded the train home alone.

Meeting with Yang Gongfeina resolved a long-standing worry for him.

Although the matter cannot be said to be completely over, it is much better for them to speak their true feelings openly than for them to keep it to themselves.

Given Yang Gongfei's personality, she's probably been overthinking things a lot lately.

The thought that he had unknowingly hurt the girl again made Tazaki Toru feel extremely guilty.

Fortunately, he had now conveyed his thoughts, and the smile that Yang Gongfei gave him before leaving offered him some comfort.

At least, she was laughing very happily.

The only thing that puzzled Toru Tazaki was that Hina Aoki had helped her to be so brave in confessing her feelings to him.

Considering Hina Aoki's personality, it's not particularly surprising that she would do something like this.

But Toru Tazaki felt that something was off.

It felt like flipping through two glued pages of a novel at the same time, leaving him completely bewildered.

Tazaki Toru had the idea of ​​talking to Aoki Hina, but quickly dismissed it.

In Tazaki Toru's view, Aoki Hina is a girl who knows how to be tactful and how to assess situations.

Since she chose to do this, she must have her reasons.

In conclusion, it was precisely because of Aries Palace Fina's confession that they finally opened up to each other.

For Hina Aoki, Hina Hiyomiya's condition is extremely important. Perhaps it was because of the upcoming live performance that Hina Aoki encouraged Hina Hiyomiya to express her feelings to him.

In short, all of this is based on Tazaki Toru's understanding of Aoki Hina and his own deductions.

As for whether Aoki Hina had ulterior motives, Tazaki Toru never entertained such thoughts from beginning to end.

Upon returning home, Toru Tazaki immediately took a shower and, unusually, did not go to the recording studio, but instead went to bed early.

Tonight's sleep was probably the most restful one Tazaki Toru had slept since moving into his new home.

……

……

The next day.

After finishing breakfast, Tazaki Toru gazed at the Tokyo Tower for a while through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows before preparing to leave.

When I was taking the elevator downstairs, it stopped on a certain floor, and a young woman walked in from outside.

It was Ms. Takao.

Since Tazaki Toru moved here, he has run into her quite often, and both of them were taken aback.

"Good morning, Ms. Tazaki."

"Good morning, Ms. Takao. Are you going to rehearsal so early?"

"I need to report to the agency first."

After Ms. Takao entered the elevator, Toru Tazaki subconsciously moved to the side, leaving some distance between them.

Although it sounds a bit self-conscious, saying it out loud might just get you called disgusting.

However, during this period, Toru Tazaki felt that he might really be cursed by female voice actors, and felt that he could not continue like this, so he subconsciously wanted to maintain a safe social distance.

The two chatted casually about some unimportant topics. Tazaki Toru thought he would have to go to the station with Ms. Takao, but after leaving the apartment, Ms. Takao waved goodbye to him and got into a private car.

As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, she even has someone to pick her up and drop her off at get off work.

With this thought in mind, Toru Tazaki walked towards the station alone.

Upon arriving at King Records headquarters, Toru Tazaki, as usual, attended a composition meeting and submitted the songs he had already composed.

His outstanding professional skills made him highly regarded by musicians who had worked with Toru Tazaki, who were no longer new composers. As a result, they introduced him to more professionals in the industry.

In the midst of his ongoing entanglement with female voice actresses, he conveniently used work as an excuse to force himself not to think about those girls during the day.

As for the evening.

Tazaki Toru always encounters them in his dreams; it's unavoidable.

580. When there are no difficulties, Rin-nee always creates difficulties for you.

That evening, after finishing work, Tazaki Toru was preparing dinner.

The advantages and disadvantages of living alone are quite obvious.

The advantage is that Tazaki Toru has a lot of free time at his disposal and doesn't have to deal with Tachibana Rin's troublesome behavior every day.

Whether this is a benefit or a drawback depends largely on Tazaki Toru's subjective opinion.

As for the downside, it's difficult to control the amount of food used when preparing meals for only one person each time.

Habits are truly a terrible thing.

As Tazaki Toru scooped a spoonful of rice into the rice cooker, he was pondering something when the electronic doorbell rang inside the house.

Upon entering the foyer, Tazaki Toru glanced at the screen displayed on the control panel and was momentarily stunned.

He opened the door to find a girl grinning at him, flashing a set of bright, white teeth.

"Hey...I'm here to play!"

The person who arrived was none other than Tachibana Rin.

Tazaki Toru stared at her for a while, then glanced behind the girl; there was no one there.

"Are you alone?"

"Yeah, what else?"

Rin Tachibana waved her hand, urging Toru Tazaki to get up and let her into the house.

Tazaki Toru sighed softly.
