Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

But the probability of that is extremely small.

Most importantly, this young lady, Hinata, doesn't seem like the kind of girl who would have any interaction with Toru Tazaki.

"Sorry, I don't actually know what it's called either, it was written by my friend."

Hina Aoki stared at the girl for a long time.

"Oh, I'm sorry for asking you such a strange question, but I really think it's a great piece of music."

"Um... thank you."

Mika Kohinata chuckled sheepishly and scratched her head.

These were the words that made Mika Kohinata happiest today.

The fact that someone other than herself could appreciate the melodies he wrote excited her immensely.

Just as Toru Tazaki believed that her efforts would be rewarded, Mika Kohinata wanted more than anyone else to show Toru Tazaki's talent to more people.

"Hina, we should go now." Tachibana Rin's voice called from not far away.

Aoki Hina responded and gave Kohinata Mika a peaceful smile: "I have to go now. Let's talk again if we have the chance in the future, but I think Kohinata-san will be fine."

"Huh? Oh... okay."

Mika Kohinata was still unaware of Hina Aoki's true identity, so she was completely confused by what she heard.

"I hope I can pass the audition, Ms. Kohinata."

After leaving those words, Hina Aoki turned and left.

"What did you say to her?" Tachibana Rin glanced indifferently at Kohinata Mika, who was not far away.

"It's nothing, I just asked her what the song she was singing earlier was called."

"Here you go again. Don't fall in love with some song or the songwriter for no reason again. The other person is a girl."

Hina Aoki glanced at her but didn't reply.

Suddenly, they stepped into the elevator together, and Hina Aoki said abruptly:

"Speaking of which, Rin-chan, when we arrived this morning, Hinata-san struck up a conversation with you in the elevator, right? Did you two know each other before?"

"I don't know you, this is my first time here... Ah!"

Rin Tachibana clapped her hands together, her expression clearly showing signs of a memory resurfacing.

"I remember now, the vending machine, it's that girl! No wonder she looked so familiar!"

"A vending machine?" Hina Aoki asked, puzzled.

"Oh! It was the day we went to Shinjuku to take photos. I went to buy a drink in the middle of the trip."

"Yes! It was when we bumped into Tazaki and the mysterious woman on a date in the park!"

"........."

After finishing their day's work, Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana took the train back to Tsukishima.

After leaving the station, I stopped by a convenience store and bought some random beer, snacks, and other items.

The beer was heavy, so they each carried one side of the plastic bag together as they walked through the brightly lit residential area.

Now that things have come to this, the two of them can walk together without saying a word and not feel awkward at all.

After a while, Tachibana Rin's voice, which was slightly too sweet, suddenly rang out.

"I said, Miss Hina."

"what happened?"

Hina Aoki walked quietly, looking straight ahead.

"I find it a little scary when you don't say anything."

Hina Aoki turned to look at her, puzzled, and asked, "Why?"

"Hard to say, it's just a gut feeling."

Hina Aoki maintained a calm expression, perhaps because her work required her to smile at others, and once it was time to leave work, or when only Rin Tachibana was around, she was too tired to put on a smile.

"Rin-chan's intuition is unreliable, it's never been accurate."

"Really?" Tachibana Rin narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"When I saw you in the recording studio today, I heard that... um, oh right, Ms. Kohinata."

"After hearing her play the piece, I felt completely out of sorts."

Hina Aoki remained unmoved: "I just think that piece of music is very nice, isn't that just my personality?"

"Hmph~~~" Tachibana Rin still looked unconvinced.

"Ah, but speaking of Kohinata-san, she's actually quite cute. I would feel very relaxed playing guitar with someone like her."

Hina Aoki glanced at her silently, as if asking her why with her eyes.

"She seemed very easy to talk to, and even if I played something wrong, she probably wouldn't put pressure on me."

Upon hearing this, Hina Aoki sighed heavily.

"It's okay, Hina, you don't need to worry." Tachibana Rin suddenly adopted a comforting tone.

"Worry?"

"Aren't you thinking about that mysterious woman who went on a date with Tazaki that day?"

"I don't think I've mentioned this at all."

Rin Tachibana gave a thumbs-up with great pride: "Good sister, we're on the same wavelength."

"Your thinking is too unconventional; I can't keep up at all."

Aoki Hina looked at Tachibana Rin beside her with a slightly serious expression.

"Um, Rin-chan, I think I still have to remind you that my relationship with Tazaki-kun is not like that."

"But you're interested in him, aren't you?"

"Your statement really makes me angry."

"They even made an appointment to go to the aquarium..."

Aoki Hina suddenly stopped, and the plastic bag she was holding pulled her back from where she was walking.

"Rin-chan, you always think about things in that direction, do you really like talking about romance that much?"

"I was actually trying to give you some advice."

"You're worrying unnecessarily, and besides, I... I don't have those kinds of feelings for Tazaki-kun."

"Eh?"

When Tachibana Rin's bright eyes suddenly widened, they took on a more chilling quality.

"That day, were you lying to me before?"

"It's not about deceiving, it's just that I felt sorry for Tazaki-kun because of all the trouble you caused him."

"........."

"I have a feeling that if this misunderstanding continues, Rin-chan, you'll cause trouble sooner or later, and bring trouble to me and Tazaki-kun."

"Well……"

Rin Tachibana opened her mouth, about to retort, but seeing Hina Aoki's extremely serious expression, she couldn't help but shrank her shoulders.

Okay, she admits that deep down she did have a bit of a gossipy and joking attitude.

This is her nature.

Ms. Karitaka seems to have forgotten something very important: they are still voice actresses who carry important projects.

"We finally got this important opportunity. Maybe for you, Rin-chan, becoming a voice actress or an idol is just a secondary interest. But I'm serious about it."

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely be more careful in the future, please don't be angry."

Hina Aoki pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that Rin Tachibana's personality couldn't be changed with just a few words.

Ms. Tachibana's eyes darted around: "But, I'm really curious."

"curious?"

"What kind of woman could make that guy so infatuated?"

"I guarantee it! Every time he doesn't come home at night, it's because he's going to see that woman!"

"Could it be that you could be more beautiful and cute than me... well, forget about me, but could you possibly be more attractive and adorable than me?"

"There are so many girls in the world who are prettier than us, and there are countless idols out there. Do you really think we are super beautiful girls?"

Upon hearing this, Tachibana Rin couldn't help but look disappointed: "Hmm... no need to be so blunt, of course I understand."

"That damn Tazaki! He's really piqued my curiosity and still won't answer any questions. I'm so angry!"

Actually, regarding Tachibana Rin's question, combined with some things she discovered today, Aoki Hina already had some guesses in her mind.

The familiar arrangement technique, the appearance of Shinjuku Park, and the faint, pleasant scent of shower gel that she smelled on Mika Kohinata when she talked to her earlier today.

Even so, Hina Aoki still didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

It's fine whether it is or not.

It's not surprising that Toru Tazaki has one or two close female friends.

Isn't Aoki Hina also in this category?

It is precisely because Aoki Hina understands these principles that she feels so conflicted at this moment.

Even though I know everything he did was reasonable, the thought of him playing notes for others that I couldn't hear, in a place I couldn't see, still touched me.

This feeling truly made her...disturbed and upset.

So he had no choice but to pretend to be silent and not say a word.
