Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Of course I told you, otherwise do you want to be excluded?"

Rin Tachibana was terrified. Luckily, she hadn't questioned Toru Tazaki earlier, otherwise, with her thin skin, she really wouldn't be able to face anyone.

She had originally intended to say something like "You're too impulsive," but seeing Aoki Hina's expression, she softened and kept quiet.

Rin Tachibana was tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort her. After racking her brains, she could only manage to say one sentence:

"It's okay, you still have me. Even if he's gone, we can still get by."

"But I don't want to be with you."

"Oshima Haruna, don't go too far."

……

……

Sitting alone on the train, Toru Tazaki silently gazed at the receding scenery outside the window.

He never expected that the usually composed Hina Aoki would say something so shocking.

What surprised him even more was that these girls seemed to have reached a strange consensus.

Looking back now, whether it's Hina Ayamizu or Mika Kohinata...

Their peculiar attitude can now be explained.

Toru Katasaki doesn't think that doing this will maintain the balance of MyGO.

Agreeing to date them and then choosing one at the end would be the most unfair thing to do for them.

It won't make them friendly; it will only deepen their suffering over time.

Most importantly, Toru Tazaki couldn't convince himself to do such a thing.

Knowing full well that doing so would hurt them the most, there's no reason to do it.

Tazaki Toru has never felt so powerless.

Ultimately, what made Tazaki Toru feel most lost and unable to accept it was...

This is not what Hina Aoki said.

It was the fleeting wavering in her heart after hearing Hina Aoki's words.

He knew perfectly well that this was impossible and would not be forgiven.

Only innocent children would believe such fairy tales.

But a certain string in his heart was still inevitably plucked.

It turns out that no matter how sweet his words were, deep down he was a man driven by such rampant desires.

592. It would be interesting if they fought at the concert.

Back in my luxury apartment in Roppongi, I looked out at the empty, opulent living room and the dazzling lights of bustling Tokyo through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A faint sense of loneliness inexplicably rose in Tazaki Toru's heart.

He thought he had gotten used to being alone.

Upon returning to Tsukishima after a long absence, stepping into the familiar music room once more, and conversing with the girl he had spent every day with, something within Tazaki Toru seemed to be ignited.

It burned quietly inside my body, and I couldn't extinguish it no matter what I did.

He knew perfectly well that what Hina Aoki was saying was a complete fantasy, and he made it clear that he didn't like what she was doing.

But when Toru Tazaki returns to being alone, certain emotions within him are amplified infinitely.

He didn't know what kind of expression he should wear when facing Hina Aoki, which is why he ended up fleeing in a panic.

His usual composure was completely shattered by Aoki Hina, to the point that he even yelled at her.

It was as if only by doing this could he appear less shaken.

He didn't know if Aoki Hina had noticed his guilty conscience.

With her keen observation skills, no matter how hard I try to hide it, I can't escape her bright, cat-like eyes.

But the key point is that Toru Tazaki has made a statement.

For the first time, Toru Tazaki, who had never refused her before, said "no".

At the same time, he was also confused, wondering if everything Aoki Hina said was true.

When exactly they reached a consensus, including Hina Ayami and Mika Kohinata.

Tazaki Toru wanted to know, but dared not ask.

He was afraid that the moment he heard Mika Kohinata's voice, he would instinctively give in to her.

With such complex emotions, Toru Tazaki was unable to sleep soundly tonight.

When I close my eyes, all I see are their images.

……

……

the next morning.

After getting up, Tazaki Toru took his backpack containing his laptop and headed out to King Records.

During the composition meeting, Tazaki Toru, unusually, became distracted and repeatedly apologized.

After the meeting, Toru Tazaki walked out of the meeting room looking somewhat tired.

Although he was distracted during the meeting, fortunately, the songs composed by Tazaki Toru were flawless, and he successfully completed his work at King Records.

He was no longer involved in the subsequent song production process.

As soon as he stepped out of the conference room, he saw someone waving at him.

Tazaki Toru looked around and walked straight over.

"I heard the work here has come to an end?"

"Miss Minase's information network is really impressive. Could she have planted a listening device on me?"

"Why would I need to install that thing? There's no information in the entire company that I don't know."

"So you'd better say more flattering things, otherwise I might get upset..."

"They're just going to expose my dirty secrets online?"

"Then you have to have some dirt on me to expose first."

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru couldn't help but give a wry smile.

To date, Toru Tazaki believes he has acted with integrity and has a good reputation in the industry.

However, a series of recent incidents involving female voice actresses have caused Toru Tazaki to gradually lose this confidence.

He was genuinely afraid that one day he would see gossip online about female voice actresses' young boyfriends' secrets.

Even without confirmation, Toru Tazaki simply didn't know how to explain it.

Is he dating a female voice actress?

I'm not in a relationship.

Have you ever been intimate? Have you ever hugged? Have you ever kissed?

...To be honest, we did it all.

What's there to say? Just wait to be swept away.

Seeing that Tazaki Toru did not reply, he instead let out a heavy sigh.

Miss Minase immediately became interested, her beautiful eyes narrowing into slits, looking extremely curious.

"What's the band's name again? Oh right, MyGO. They're having their first live show soon, right? When?"

"next week."

"It would be interesting if they fought on stage."

What's so interesting about it?

"Don't make that face. Can't you tell I'm joking?"

"Sorry, I can't laugh at all."

"Hey hey~~ Looks like we're really at our wits' end."

Ms. Minase bought two cans of coffee from a vending machine in the public area and handed one to Toru Tazaki, who silently said thank you.

"You look so listless, what happened this time?"

Tazaki Toru held the cold coffee can, unsure where to begin.

After stammering for a long time, he finally said, "Ms. Minase, may I ask you a question?"

"Although I don't really like the way you answer questions with questions, since I'm a mature and reliable senior with plenty of time to spare, feel free to tell me."

"What kind of mindset do you think a girl would have to want to date the same man as other girls?"

"When you've run out of options."

"You answered very quickly."

"Because that's how it is. If there were a real solution, wouldn't it be stupid to do it this way?"

"You're right."

Tazaki Toru felt a little embarrassed; he realized he had indeed asked a stupid question.

Miss Minase's eyes lit up slightly as she listened.

"What? You've finally come to your senses and decided to accept my great advice?"

"No."

Ms. Minase has a strange obsession with harems, something that Toru Tazaki knew long ago.

Previously, when discussing these matters with her, she would always intentionally steer the conversation in that direction.
