Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Tazaki Toru then realized that he hadn't eaten anything while he was out, as he had been too busy talking to Takagi Mika.

"forget."

His stomach seemed to read the air perfectly, making a "gurgling" sound at just the right moment, which made the girl cover her mouth and giggle.

Hina Aoki sat up, patted her face, and with a hair tie in her mouth, deftly tied her long black hair into a ponytail.

"The pizza you ordered tonight is still left. I'll go heat it up for you."

"Thank you."

"Shh...be quiet, if Rin-chan knows you're back, she'll definitely make you play games again."

Tazaki Toru smiled knowingly and nodded slightly.

She seemed to be in a good mood, skipping and hopping towards the kitchen. Tazaki Toru casually picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned off the TV.

Sitting listlessly on the sofa, Toru Tazaki started scrolling through Twitter.

Musicality aside, Toru Tazaki might be considered a boring person by others.

He doesn't have any particularly strong interests or hobbies, and he has no interest in gossip or scandals. When he talks, he's very serious and methodical.

Even the Twitter account he's currently using was only registered a few days ago after Manager Yicun insisted he do so.

I was forced to follow several accounts related to the Bushido project, but their main purpose was still work-related.

That's understandable, but what Tazaki Toru doesn't understand is why he follows so many female voice actresses with his own account?

baffling.

As I was thinking, I suddenly caught a whiff of the pleasant scent of shampoo.

Tazaki Toru turned his head slightly and saw a face very close to his.

“Ah, Miss Aimi, I’ve seen her at the agency.” She blinked her bright eyes, her previous sleepiness gone, and looked down at Tazaki Toru’s phone screen as she said this.

"I see."

Tazaki Toru still looked unenthusiastic about the female voice actress's performance and quickly swiped down the screen.

Not long ago, Aoki Hina might have been curious that Tazaki Toru had followed a female voice actress's account.

Now that she has learned that Toru Tazaki's new job is related to Bushido, it is only natural for her to pay attention to the Bushido voice actors.

It's hard to imagine what kind of expression Tazaki Toru will have when he learns that he will be responsible for playing the pieces Tazaki Toru will be playing.

Although I couldn't sing his songs myself, I could at least play his melodies, which is just as good.

Even now, Hina Aoki has not told Toru Tazaki that she already knows what project Toru Tazaki is involved in.

After filling his stomach a little, Tazaki Toru went upstairs to the music room to continue revising the lyrics of "The Lost Star".

……

……

The next morning.

Aoki Hina went downstairs early to eat breakfast, while Tachibana Rin, holding onto the stair railing, yawned as she went downstairs.

"That guy Tazaki didn't come back again last night. Could he be keeping a mistress on the side?"

Aoki Hina, who was in the living room, glanced at her indifferently but didn't say anything.

Feeling Aoki Hina's gaze, Tachibana Rin suddenly realized that she shouldn't say such things in front of Aoki-san.

But what can you do when she's so outspoken? Once she says something, it's not so easy to take it back.

However, not long after, Tazaki Toru came out of the bedroom and even greeted Tachibana Rin.

Ms. Tachibana's mind went blank for a moment.

After finishing breakfast, the two voice actresses immediately went out, took the train, and headed to Nakano-sakaue.

Upon arriving at the agency, they first held a routine morning meeting with the manager, and then the group headed to the recording studio in Shinjuku.

Today, the final audition for bassists is being held there, and as official members of the band, they are allowed to attend and observe.

Sitting in the agency's van, Tachibana Rin carefully examined her recently done manicure and asked herself somewhat muttered:

What kind of child will be chosen?

"She should be more reliable than Rin-chan."

"Hmm... I don't think there are many people like that."

Aoki Hina looked at Tachibana Rin with great surprise, then glanced at the very long and delicate nail polish on her left hand, and saw that she didn't seem to be joking.

Sure enough, your sister Rin has a knack for humor.

Upon arrival at their destination, the recording studio was on the fifth floor, and the agent told them to go up first.

As Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin stepped into the elevator, just as they were about to press the button, a loud voice outside said, "Please wait a moment," followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

About three or four seconds later, a brown-haired girl carrying a black violin case came running in.

"Phew~ I made it! Perfect."

She clenched her fist without permission, took out a small mirror from her bag, and started fixing her hair right there in the elevator.

She spent a long time fixing her hair in front of the mirror this morning, but unfortunately, the crowded trams during rush hour ruined it all, and she's feeling really annoyed right now.

Although she can't compare to those naturally beautiful teenage idols, she still wants to present her best side.

Otherwise, wouldn't we be wasting the courage we gained from that person?

Suddenly, she saw Tachibana Rin's face reflected in the mirror, standing behind her.

The girl couldn't help but exclaim "Eh?" and turned her head to look.

The two of them simultaneously let out a soft "ah".

The brown-haired girl carrying a black violin case looked at her with surprise.

"You're the one I saw in the park in Shinjuku last time..."

74. His songs are my glass slippers.

After exiting the elevator, she first went to the sound room to greet the important people there. Since shoes were not allowed inside, the girl could only stand respectfully at the door and bow ninety degrees to the people inside.

Besides herself, there were two other young girls who were also candidates who were kept in the final selection.

They're all prettier than me.

From this perspective, isn't being able to stay until the final selection a kind of affirmation?

She took the initiative to greet them, and the two girls returned the smiles. After that, they stopped talking and both looked like they were holding their breath.

It was clear that they were all very nervous.

Originally, I should have been like them.

But surprisingly, she showed no signs of fear or anxiety.

It was as if she had been transported to another world, shrouded in a transparent veil that blocked her senses and cut off her connection with the outside world.

Even though the sun was high in the sky outside, she felt as if she were still in the park from the previous night, bathed in moonlight and his gaze.

No matter the atmosphere or the tension, none of these external stimuli could break her.

Looking at the two female candidates' nervous expressions, she couldn't help but recall those lonely nights from the past.

A person curled up in bed, clutching the amulet from their family shrine, listening to the caring voice on the phone, covering their mouth and secretly shedding tears.

perhaps.

She will still cry after losing this election.

I cried more bitterly and loudly than ever before.

But the one thing I don't want to do is escape this city.

It was simply because someone told her they hoped she would stay here.

She can stay here.

……

……

Inside the sound system room.

Rin Tachibana and Hina Aoki sat upright, watching the director and others discuss the selection process.

For them, it doesn't really matter who they choose, but if possible, they would prefer a child who is easier to get along with.

Although they are a commercial band, if the atmosphere within the band is not harmonious, it will be easy for fans to discover their flaws in the future, causing unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, from the perspective of the members who will be practicing together in the future, rather than focusing on their professional skills, please be sure to choose a well-behaved person.

At the very least, choose someone who won't date younger men.

Otherwise, if they get exposed later, the band members will also suffer.

"That guy just now, he played bass the best among them, right?"

"Hmm, that does fit Su Shi quite well, but her voice... how should I put it, her voice is a bit mature, I always feel that Su Shi shouldn't have that kind of voice."

"I think it's quite good. Shouldn't Su Shi have this kind of mature, older sister voice?"

"What do you think about supervision?"

Sitting next to the sound supervisor, his striped T-shirt tightly wrapped his voluptuous figure, making the originally neat stripes appear larger, like moiré patterns created during filming.

"Um...Mom."

The man wearing glasses suddenly looked up at the ceiling, stroked his chin, and said...

"what?"

"what?"

"Su-se-chan, it has to be the voice that makes me call her 'Mom' from the bottom of my heart."

"For example, if I accidentally slipped and fell while playing in the sand in the park and scraped my knee, she would pat my head and say, 'Good boy, good boy, the pain is gone~'"
