Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Tazaki Toru subconsciously responded with that.

Only after they finished speaking did they suddenly realize that the conversation sounded rather strange in today's context.

But compared to that incredibly luxurious high-end apartment, this place, which didn't belong to him, seemed to make him feel more at home.

"What's wrong? Is the new house too luxurious for you to live in?"

Rin Tachibana crossed her arms, a mocking expression suddenly appearing on her face.

She wanted to say something like, "Is it because you're not used to living at home without a female voice actress?" but considering that Hina Aoki was still there, Rin Tachibana held back.

"I'm here to see Ms. Hina today."

"Eh?"

Rin Tachibana was startled, her eyes darting back and forth between Toru Tazaki and Hina Aoki.

Hina Aoki's expression remained unchanged.

Just after MyGO's practice ended today, Toru Tazaki messaged her, asking if she was free.

Upon learning that she didn't have a rehearsal for a stage play that evening, Toru Tazaki arranged to visit her.

For them, who had lived together for a year, the question of whether or not they were bothering each other was no longer relevant.

After a few brief pleasantries, Tazaki Toru followed Aoki Hina to the music room on the second floor.

Hina Aoki specifically instructed Rin Tachibana not to disturb them, as they had something to discuss.

This caused Tachibana Rin to frown deeply, and she stubbornly retorted, "Who cares?"

However, after they disappeared at the end of the stairs, Tachibana Rin couldn't help but glance at the second floor a few more times.

Stepping into the music room, a familiar atmosphere greeted him, and Tazaki Toru subconsciously stroked the 88-key Arturia KeyLab MK3.

He couldn't help but recall every night he spent with Hina Aoki in that cramped music room, and the scene when he first heard the girl in front of him sing "Haruhi Kage".

Hina Aoki stood in front of the keyboard, smiling at Toru Tazaki.

Before Tazaki Toru could speak, the melodious sound of keyboards began to play.

The gentle melody of "Spring Shadows" enveloped them, and Tazaki Toru stood quietly to the side until the music ended.

A faint smile played on the girl's lips: "How was it? Have I improved while you were gone?"

"Yes, it sounds beautiful."

Hearing Tazaki Toru's approval, Aoki Hina couldn't help but smile smugly.

"I'm trying to become a girl worthy of playing the songs you wrote."

Tazaki Toru wondered why Aoki Hina was so devoted to his music.

Upon their first meeting, she was captivated by his lively and talented nature, and thus went to great lengths to get him to move in.

It was probably around that time that Hina Aoki became inseparable from Toru Tazaki's music.

During this process, Tazaki Toru gradually came to appreciate her clumsy and immature music, and eventually understood what kind of girl she was.

For this reason, Tazaki Toru's gaze toward Aoki Hina held something else entirely.

The cat girl, with her keen senses, noticed the unusual look in Tazaki Toru's eyes.

She sat down in the chair and looked at Toru Tazaki with a relaxed expression:

"Tazaki-kun, what do you want to talk to me about today?"

Given Tazaki Toru's personality, he probably wouldn't initiate a conversation with her unless it was something extremely important.

Hina Aoki could roughly guess what was going on, so she brought it up herself.

Since Tazaki Toru isn't good at beating around the bush, it's better to take the initiative than to make him struggle.

Looking at Aoki Hina's sweet and innocent face, Tazaki Toru found it hard to imagine that such a pure girl could have any bad intentions.

He paused for a long time, his lips moving slightly.

"Miss Hinata, are you hiding something from me?"

589. You can date all of us.

"Miss Hinata, are you hiding something from me?"

Tazaki Toru's question was quite direct.

Hina Aoki remained unmoved, blinking blankly before a cute, faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Even if it's Tazaki-kun, it would make me shy to ask like this. I am a girl, after all, and I must have some secrets that I'm ashamed to talk about."

Aoki Hina's answer was flawless, leaving Tazaki Tooru speechless. She countered by asking, "Why do you ask that?"

After thinking for a while, Tazaki Toru finally told the truth.

"Miss Hitomi and Mika's reactions were somewhat unusual, as they would frequently mention Miss Hina's name."

"So I thought..."

"I wonder if I secretly instilled something in them?"

Aoki Hina showed no sign of panic, and her eyes even revealed a hint of cunning.

Tazaki Toru paused, then slightly averted his gaze: "I didn't mean to hold anyone accountable."

“Yes, I understand.” Hina Aoki nodded readily.

"When Tazaki-kun was still living at home, no matter what trouble Rin-chan caused you, you always patiently catered to her."

"So I thought, if I were the one causing trouble for Tazaki-kun, would you still let me do whatever I wanted?"

Tazaki Toru quietly watched Aoki Hina.

For some reason, even though she was still smiling sweetly and adorably, he sensed a change in Aoki Hina that was different from before.

"Ah... Tazaki-kun, do you think I'm a little jealous?"

"That's right, I am a jealous girl. Have you demystified me?"

"That's not true."

"Just now, Tazaki-kun was probably asking me if I had said anything strange to them, right?"

"If I say yes, will Tazaki-kun start to hate me?"

"I just want to know what Ms. Hina said to them."

"Is this important?"

Hina Aoki stared intently into Toru Tazaki's eyes, as if trying to see right through the man in front of her.

"perhaps."

The girl's eyelids drooped slightly, and she smiled easily.

"Actually, I didn't say anything. I just felt that since everyone likes Tazaki-kun, we could sit down and have a proper talk."

"Let's talk?"

Hina Aoki counted on her fingers, her tone light: "See? I like Tazaki-kun, and Rin-chan too, plus Mika-chan and Yoko."

"If we let everyone continue like this, who knows what MyGO will become in the future? I don't think Tazaki-kun wants MyGO to fall apart either."

"So... that's what I told them."

Let's all get along amicably.

Hina Aoki wasn't entirely lying; she did tell them that.

Looking at this sentence alone, there is no flaw in it; on the contrary, it gives people a sense of being sensible.

But Toru Tazaki still felt that something was wrong.

He couldn't help but wonder why Hina Aoki would do such a thing.

Although it might seem like there's nothing wrong with it at first glance, it doesn't fit Aoki Hina's calm and collected nature.

Hina Aoki glanced at him slightly: "Tazaki-kun, you don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just..."

"only?"

"I just feel that when it comes to relationships, everyone has their own standards and expectations, and you can't force it."

"I understand that Ms. Hina's intentions are good, but a sensitive girl like Ms. Hitomiya will inevitably have some different thoughts after being said that."

"Does Tazaki-kun think I'm forcing them?"

"……Feel sorry."

Tazaki Toru's apology reached her ears, causing Aoki Hina to slowly raise her head.

She had expected this day to come.

Tazaki Toru is someone who finds it difficult to tolerate others' wrongdoings. How would he react if he understood what he was doing?

Is it contempt or sympathy?

“Hey, Tazaki-kun…”

"It's true that I like you, but I also like everyone in the band."

Tazaki Toru did not respond.

"Huh? Could it be that my words are unreliable?"

"I didn't say that."

Hina Aoki smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

"I can never be truly heartless; I'm just always weighing the pros and cons."

"After spending so much time with the band members, they all hold an important place in my heart."

"Perhaps I can't compare to Tazaki-kun and Rin-chan yet, but I sincerely believe that they are both good girls worthy of my trust."

"Therefore, Tazaki-kun, I have a proposal."
