Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Does this band no longer need me?

Just as Tachibana Rin was about to protest, Aoki Hina gave her a silent glare.

Rin Tachibana couldn't help but shrink her neck.

Okay, you win.

Rin Tachibana gave a soft snort, picked up her handbag, and said goodbye for the time being.

Before leaving, Hina Aoki reminded her, "Don't eavesdrop outside the door."

Rin Tachibana was furious. She glared at Hina Aoki and walked away without looking back.

Soon, only three girls remained in the lounge.

Mika Kohinata felt a sudden unease for no apparent reason, and felt that she shouldn't be there.

I've already turned a blind eye to their behavior and decided never to get involved in their affairs again, so why did they leave me behind?

"Well, I have a part-time job coming up..." Mika Kohinata tried to say.

"I'm sorry, I won't take too long."

Hearing what Hina Himegami said, Mika Kohinata didn't say anything more and remained silent as if she had been frozen in place.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet, as if everyone was waiting for Yang Gongfei to speak.

Yang Gongfei scratched her head in embarrassment, racking her brains for a long time before finally revealing a slightly silly smile.

"...I was rejected."

Upon hearing this, both girls were taken aback, pondering the meaning of this seemingly random statement.

"Not long ago, I confessed my feelings to Mr. Tazaki again."

Mika Kohinata was stunned, thinking to herself, "Didn't you just confess your feelings not long ago?"

How long has it been before they launched a second attack?

What happened to the turn-based system?

Unlike Mika Kohinata's stunned expression, Hina Aoki appeared remarkably calm.

Although she was somewhat surprised, astonished that Yang Gongfei Na was indeed a girl who acted on her impulses, her action exceeding her expectations.

However, Aoki Hina had anticipated this event, but it happened much faster than she had imagined.

As expected of the lead singer, she can easily do things that the bassist cannot.

Hina Aoki sat down next to Hina Hitomi: "Did you properly tell him how you felt?"

"Hmm...probably." Yang Gongfei Na lowered her head and nodded gently.

"I see."

Hina Aoki secretly observed Hina Hiyomi's expression. Although she had been rejected, Hina Hiyomi did not show any sadness in her expression.

Considering Tazaki Toru's personality, Aoki Hina could almost picture in her mind what kind of excuse Tazaki Toru would use.

Although she harbored a slight resentment, wondering just how far he intended to manipulate these female voice actors, she also understood that if he weren't this kind of person, she probably would never have had the chance.

"Also, thank you, Hina-chan."

"Thank me?"

"Yes, of course I'm grateful. If it weren't for Hina-chan, I wouldn't even have the courage to say these things to him."

"Although I didn't get the result I wanted, at least... he responded to me."

Hina Aoki lowered her eyelids, feeling that Hina Hiyomiya was truly a peculiar girl.

Although she often has a timid and discouraged side, she is able to bravely face her inner self and thus take action.

This is something that many people would find difficult to do.

Putting aside her liking for Tazaki Toru, Aoki Hina really liked her personality, and even felt that she had always been a hindrance to her in the past, but she gradually let go of that feeling.

“I see, that’s a good thing,” Hina Aoki said.

"Ah."

Yang Gongfei nodded emphatically.

"so……"

She looked up at Hina Aoki, then at the silent Mika Kohinata.

If she were still the old Aries Princess, she certainly wouldn't be able to detect it.

Although Mika Kohinata never explicitly said it or revealed her true feelings, even Hina Himegami could see it after experiencing these things.

Mika Kohinata must be feeling the same way I am.

Otherwise, Aoki Hina wouldn't have made herself and Kohinata Mika present at the same time.

"I know it sounds a bit willful to say this, but I really hope that everyone can get along well."

"It doesn't matter if I like them all, because I don't just like Tazaki-sensei, I also like Hina-chan and Mika-chan equally."

"As a member of MyGO, as partners with each other, I sincerely hope that we can always be together."

"Go see fireworks, play at the beach, and sing karaoke."

"I want to do more things with everyone at MyGO and create more memories together."

"Because our band is a community with a shared future."

582. I'm not happy at all forming a band with them.

What Hina Himegami was trying to convey was not that she was willing to share Toru Tazaki with these girls.

She simply fell into Hina Aoki's linguistic trap.

When facing Hina Hitomiya, Hina Aoki always tries to beautify her actions.

It's perfectly reasonable to assume that everyone likes Toru Tazaki. If Toru Tazaki's influence causes the girls of MyGO to turn against each other, there's nothing more foolish than that.

In this matter, Hina Aoki subtly compares selfish love to public adoration, an emotion that can be gathered and discussed.

Now, Hina Hiyomiya can truly empathize with Hina Aoki's statement and understand why Hina Aoki did what she did.

She has not only confessed her feelings to Toru Tazaki, but she can also continue to get along well with Hina Aoki and others, which is a win-win situation.

It's a pity that Tazaki Toru didn't agree to date her, but he didn't agree to date anyone else either.

In a sense, they are still on the same side.

Conversely, if Toru Tazaki had chosen one of them, Hina Hitomi would naturally have chosen to withdraw and leave the scene in disappointment.

This stems from her most basic understanding of romantic relationships, which cannot be changed in a few words.

That's why it's said that she fell into Hina Aoki's linguistic trap.

Mika Kohinata had already seen this out back then, but she didn't point it out.

If Aoki Hina's scheme were to be revealed now, it would be too cruel for Himiya Hina.

Most importantly, Mika Kohinata wasn't sure if Hinami Hina would truly reject that kind of thing.

Hina Yokomiya values ​​both MyGO and Toru Tazaki very much. If she could truly have both, she would probably compromise in the end.

Needless to say, Aoki Hina was the one who started the proposal. Although Tachibana Rin did not participate in the discussion, she was clearly on Aoki Hina's side and shared the same hatred.

Even Hina Hiyomiya is now showing signs of developing feelings for Hina Aoki.

It seems that only he remains, still struggling to resist.

In the past, she could deny her actions by arguing that such decisions should not be made by them.

But now, Mika Kohinata has learned of Toru Tazaki's true thoughts.

Without a doubt, Toru Tazaki also had feelings for girls other than her.

However, he couldn't accept his own infatuation and didn't want to cause them any more harm, so he decided to stay away from them.

Tazaki Toru has made his decision; he personally rejected the girls he liked.

This shows that Toru Tazaki is a man who stays true to himself.

So what about yourself?

She stood there for a long time, seemingly waiting for someone to reach out to her.

Mika Takagi is like that.

Mika Kohinata... is still the same.

……

……

After leaving the recording studio, Mika Kohinata went to the station alone.

Along the way, I felt a faint sense of unfamiliarity about this street that I had walked countless times.

It seems that I am excluded from the colors of the world, and I am the only one who is black and white.

This feels really bad.

Unable to bear the weight on her chest, she slowed her steps further and further.

She gradually became frustrated, frustrated that she hadn't made any progress at all after a whole year.

Compared to Hina Aoki and the others, every girl has taken a crucial step, while he is still stuck in the same place.

She had never hated herself so much as she did now for being just an ugly duckling who dared not make any changes.

Or perhaps, no matter how hard the Ugly Duckling tries, it will always remain an Ugly Duckling.

Just when her heart was about to be bent and broken, a gentle voice came to her ear.

The voice seemed not to travel through the vibrations of the air, but to whisper directly against the walls of her heart.

She turned her head suddenly, and when she saw the figure behind her, she instinctively felt a slight tear open in the thin membrane of emotion that enveloped her chest.

Why are you standing alone by the roadside, lost in thought?
