Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Mika Takagi, standing beside him, half-closed her eyes, wishing she could become a baby koala clinging to Toru Tazaki.

It can't be said that she was completely drunk; at least she was still moving her legs, and after calling her name repeatedly, she would get a soft voice saying, "You're so noisy~".

In short, it took some effort to bring her back to her rented apartment.

"Mika, the key."

After calling several times, I received the obvious reply that the key was in my bag.

Helpless, Tazaki Toru had no choice but to reach out to take it. His hand accidentally brushed against her waist, and she suddenly twisted her body, giggling and saying, "It tickles so much."

When Tazaki Toru touched the zipper of the handbag, the girl immediately held her breath, as if he had opened the side zipper of a long dress instead of a handbag.

In short, after expending a great deal of physical effort, Tazaki Toru finally managed to bring the half-drunk, half-awake girl to her bedroom bed.

This was the first time Tazaki Toru had entered her bedroom. He tried not to look at the layout around him. Although the floor was quite clean, her underwear was still lying on the bed as always.

Tazaki Toru really couldn't say anything about this habit.

As soon as Mika Takagi touched the bed and smelled the familiar scent, she quickly calmed down.

Like an old father, Tazaki Toru took off her shoes. As soon as her pink toes were exposed to the light, they immediately curled up and hid.

Just as he was about to leave with her shoes, Tazaki Toru's hand was suddenly grabbed.

He saw Takagi Mika with her eyes half-open, gazing at him hazily, the blush on her cheeks lingering. She smiled gently and waved to Tazaki Toru with a soft gesture: "Toru-kun."

Tazaki Toru squatted down beside the bed.

"Closer."

Tazaki Toru did the same.

"Closer."

"If you get any closer, I'll stick to you."

The girl chuckled, gently tugging at Toru's ear, her lips close, exhaling a breath that carried a hint of alcohol.

"……Thank you."

Tazaki Toru was overwhelmed by the heavy breath and couldn't help but clench her sandals.

"Thank me for what?"

Thank you for coming to see me today.

"Thank you for taking me home."

"Also, thank you for taking off my shoes."

"Don't be so polite. I'll hide it now, and when you become famous, I'll put it up for auction on an online auction site," Tazaki Toru said jokingly.

"You actually want to make money using such tricks?"

"No, just hang it up, mark it with an exorbitant price that no one can afford, and make people envious."

The girl fell silent immediately, looking at Tazaki Toru's slightly upturned lips, and slowly closed her eyes with great contentment.

Her voice grew increasingly languid, uttering a few indistinct syllables:

"Tou-kun, you're talking nonsense again."

Tazaki Tooru was noncommittal.

As her grip on Tazaki Toru's hand gradually weakened, Tazaki Toru gently withdrew her hand and carefully left the room.

I glanced at the wall clock; I was about to miss the last bus again.

Tazaki Toru thought this way, but inexplicably got used to it. He also drank quite a lot. After sitting down on the sofa, he listened to the ticking of the second hand and then fell into a daze.

He gradually drifted off to sleep on the familiar little sofa.

After daybreak.

Tazaki Toru rubbed his slightly aching head from the hangover, sat up straight on the sofa, a blanket fell off him, and he could faintly smell the aroma of food.

"Tou-kun, you're awake? I've already taken a shower, you should go and shower too."

After a moment of stunned silence, Tazaki Toru stared at Takagi Mika's face for a long time.

Her expression was normal, just like usual, and she was adorably rustic.

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Alcohol really is no good. It can turn such an ordinary country girl into a cute but useless person."

"Is there something on my face?" she asked.

"No, I'm going to take a shower."

After taking a shower, the two ate breakfast together inside the house.

Mika Takagi had to report to her agency, and she also had a performance that evening.

After leaving the house, they parted ways at the train station shortly afterward.

……

……

By the time Tazaki Toru returned to Tsukishima, it was already past nine o'clock.

Normally, Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin wouldn't be home during this time.

As soon as he stepped into the house, before Tazaki Toru could even take off his shoes, Tachibana Rin, dressed in pajamas, poked her head out from behind the sofa and greeted him.

Good morning, you guy who stayed out all night.

Tazaki Toru was surprised.

"Don't you need to go to the office today?"

"Didn't I say that we'd both be resting today?"

"Is being a voice actor really this easy?"

Rin Tachibana glared at him with displeasure: "Don't make us sound like we can't even get the lowest level of work."

Isn't she the bottom edge?

Tazaki Toru didn't dare say those words out loud.

"Ah, Tazaki-kun."

Just then, Hina Aoki happened to walk down the stairs.

Good morning. Did you go drinking again last night?

Tazaki Toru nodded slightly: "Yeah, I drank a little, missed the last train, and ended up passing out at a friend's house."

She came to Tazaki Toru's side, suddenly sniffed a few times, and then smiled.

"I've been meaning to say this before: every morning when Tazaki-kun comes home, his shower gel smells amazing. Could you tell me what brand it is?"

"Huh? I'm not quite sure. I'll ask next time," Tazaki Toru replied without much thought.

Hina Aoki blinked, her voice softening, "Is it alright? Wouldn't that be too abrupt? Asking a girl these kinds of questions seems a bit impolite, doesn't it?"

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and said directly, "It's okay, it's just shower gel."

"I see."

Miss Aoki still smiled very sweetly.

As expected, girls are more sensitive to smells and such. Tazaki Toru herself doesn't seem to notice much difference in smell and doesn't pay any attention to brands when using products.

"Then, I'll leave it to you."

That smile was so dazzling that it almost made Tazaki Toru squint.

"Oh, right, Tazaki-kun."

Miss Aoki clasped her hands together and tilted her head cutely: "I'm off today, can you come out with me? Don't tell me you forgot what you promised me."

"Huh?" Tazaki Toru was taken aback.

Hina Aoki then turned to Rin Tachibana: "Rin-chan, are you coming too?"

From this angle, Toru Tazaki couldn't see the expression on her face.

Rin Tachibana, who was sitting on the sofa, was about to say something when she suddenly shut her mouth. After thinking for a while, she said, "I don't want to. I made plans to go Monster Hunter with someone."

"I see. What a pity."

"But you have to lend me Tazaki tonight. I won't stop streaming until tonight." Tachibana Rin mustered her courage and put up a little resistance in her own way.

"Although I really want to say good luck, I have to go to the recording studio to practice tomorrow morning, and staying up late is a big no-no."

"hateful!"

Ms. Tachibana angrily slammed her fist onto the sofa.

Tazaki Toru stood aside, like an insignificant person, letting the two female voice actresses fill his schedule for the day without his consent.

That's it.

He vaguely realized that he seemed unable to resist these female voice actors.

66. A sound like springtime.

Back in my room, I changed my clothes and went to the bathroom to wash my face again.

His hair had grown quite a bit longer. Tazaki Toru held the hair tie in his mouth and combed his somewhat thick, long hair again, wondering if he should get a haircut.

After tidying up, Tazaki Toru went to the entrance to put on his shoes, and Aoki Hina, who was beside him, turned around and called out to the living room.

"Rin-chan, we're going out now. Take good care of the house."

Then she smiled slightly at Tazaki Toru and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the sound of the front door closing came from the entryway, Tachibana Rin, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.

"Why are you talking to me like I'm your pet dog? I seem to be the one who owns this place."
