Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

She kept bowing to the supervisor, staff, and band members, and Mr. Fujita was even worried that she might bite her tongue when she spoke.

After bowing, when she looked up, she found herself facing an empty doorway.

She immediately turned around in a panic, her face flushed.

It's worrying whether a girl like this can actually play bass well.

In short, he doesn't seem very smart.

Applause rang out in the karaoke room, and Mika Kohinata couldn't help but give an embarrassed, awkward smile, standing still in place.

The most surprised person was Tachibana Rin. She never expected that the girl she had only met once would join the same band as her.

"Miss Hinata, have you looked at the sheet music for practice?"

"Ah! Yes, my manager showed it to me yesterday. I've been practicing at the agency all morning. Although I may not be able to keep up with everyone yet, I will try my best not to hold them back."

"Yeah, relax. Nobody can play well from the start. Let's try to get in sync with the band members today."

"Yes!"

After all the important figures left, only five girls remained in the karaoke room. Mika Kohinata introduced herself again.

Perhaps because everyone was a young girl of similar age, she finally seemed less reserved.

Koko Kobayashi, who plays Shiina Tatsuki, is the youngest and the most skilled at greetings and small talk.

After they had all introduced themselves, Mika Kohinata stared blankly at Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana.

She suddenly remembered what the other person had said when they parted ways at the bakery: "See you later."

So that's what it means.

Before they could ask any questions, Mr. Fujita's voice came from the speakers connected to the recording room, asking them to relax and try playing the entire piece once.

No one, including the band members, thought their first performance would go smoothly.

After all, the compatibility issue between the lead guitarist and the lead singer had not been resolved until today.

But sometimes, problems that have been troubling us for a long time seem to find an incredible solution.

When the bass was added to this loosely connected band, a wonderful chemical reaction was created.

The lead guitarist, who used to always clash with the lead singer, seemed to suddenly lose interest in vocals. This change prompted Ms. Yang's voice to gradually become louder and more confident.

This caused Hina Aoki to glance at Hina Aoki more than once while she was singing.

That look in his eyes was filled with a soft confusion.

Mika Kohinata never expected that this Ms. Aoki was not only a great stage actress and singer, but also incredibly skilled at playing the guitar.

She was able to perfectly carry the melody; compared to her, my reputation as the ugly duckling was probably even more solidified.

When the piece was finished, even the usually very strict supervisor unusually praised them for their significant improvement.

"Miss Aoki, your guitar playing is absolutely amazing! How can one reach such a level?"

Hina Aoki gave a gentle and polite smile, looked at the bassist whose face was full of longing, paused for a moment, and said:

"Probably because my family has a good teacher."

102. Miss Aries, Gravity Deployment! (Seeking monthly votes)

Mika Kohinata was confused, but that didn't diminish her admiration for Hina Aoki.

Does this Ms. Aoki mean that after she finished practicing, she also hired a private tutor to give her one-on-one professional guitar instruction?

They are so dedicated.

Mika Kohinata was immediately filled with awe.

As a result, the first day of practice after the five members gathered went more smoothly than anyone expected.

The supervisor and others in the sound room were very satisfied, not expecting that the members would get along so well.

Now I can finally relax. If we let them practice some more cover songs to enrich their repertoire, they might just become a rising star in the band!

Well, that does sound a bit like wishful thinking.

This change undoubtedly gave the project a boost, making them more confident.

Mika Kohinata also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although my performance wasn't outstanding during my first performance, I made very few mistakes and was able to keep up with my teammates' rhythm throughout.

She was secretly pleased about this.

The other four members joined the group earlier than her, and she was always worried that she, as a newcomer, might hold them back.

Now, I can finally feel a little more at ease.

After the practice session.

Mika Kohinata was eagerly anticipating the next segment, or rather, the most important segment was yet to come.

This is a Bangbang project!

A girl band I've admired since I was a child!

Now that I've become a new member of this project, I'm sure I'll have those kinds of things.

The old tradition of girl bands: team building activities for members, including lesbian interactions.

It's not that Mika Kohinata has any sexual orientation issues, but rather that she deeply admires that kind of atmosphere.

To date, she has been making a living alone in this city, spending countless lonely nights and sometimes being brought to tears by loneliness.

It wasn't until I met Toru Tazaki that this spring didn't feel so cold.

But Toru Tazaki is, after all, a boy. No matter how considerate or outstanding he is, there are some topics that are difficult to discuss with him.

Therefore, Mika Kohinata and her friends admire the girl band in the anime, thinking that if they could become a member of it in the future, they could spend every day together and talk about everything.

In that case, I definitely will.

I will definitely cherish them.

"Well then, I'll take my leave now. Thank you all so much for today."

After packing her things, the lead singer bowed to the other members.

"Me too, thank you all for your hard work, I'll take my leave as well."

"Miss Yang Gong, would you like to travel with me to the station?"

"Okay."

The drummer was also packing her things, preparing to leave.

Mika Kohinata thought to herself, "Hey, this band is not quite what I imagined."

Are you going to leave right after practice?

What's the difference between that and a typical office worker who leaves work on time?

Sparkling and dazzling? Makes your heart flutter?

As Hina Hiyomiya and Kobayashi Koko got up to leave, Hina Aoki suddenly spoke up, "Please wait a moment."

"Miss Hitomi, Miss Kobayashi, do you have time later?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Yang Gongfei's eyes: "Huh? Me?"

"Mmm!"

"Hmm... I don't have any reservations for the next few days, is there a problem?"

"Look, Miss Kohinata just joined today. We'll be a team from now on, so why don't we take this opportunity to have a welcome party and get to know each other better?"

"Besides, I felt really bad about declining Miss Yang Gong's offer before, so I was determined to go out with you."

Hina Aoki walked up to Hina Hiyomiya and nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't play well yesterday, and I was worried that you would dislike me."

Yang Gongfeina seemed to be a little slow on the uptake, and only now did she realize what was happening. Upon hearing this, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "How could that be? I'm the one who always sings off-key. I'm so sorry."

Aoki Hina's eyes gleamed with shrewdness: "Mr. Fujita also said that no one can do it perfectly from the start, and I often play the wrong notes too."

"Hina-chan... That's great. I was just wondering what I would do if you started to hate me."

“No one could possibly dislike such a cute girl as Ms. Hitomiya, absolutely.” Hina Aoki said with a smile.

"absolute?"

Her voice, as fine as sand, suddenly multiplied, transforming from a small handful of sand into a boundless, desolate desert capable of swallowing everything.

Suddenly, Hina Aoki reached out and took Hina Aoki's petite hand in her palm. Her affectionate eyes seemed to be filled with the gentlest water in the world.

He gradually tightened his grip on Hina Aoki's hand.

Despite not being very strong, once she met Miss Yang's dark and deep eyes, Hina Aoki felt as if she were being sucked in, and her whole body became powerless.

"Nina-chan, can you guarantee you'll never hate me?"

Ignoring all social distancing, she moved closer and closer without warning, like a brave sheep charging ahead, oblivious to the dangers of turning back.

"Eh? That..."

Miss Aoki involuntarily stepped back, but couldn't pull her hand away.

"Miss Yang Gong, your hand..."

"I really want to get along well with everyone in the band, and I'm sure Hina-chan feels the same way!" Her voice grew louder.

"........."

Suddenly, Miss Yanggong abruptly relaxed her strength.

Hina Aoki immediately withdrew her hand and discreetly hid it behind her back.

When Miss Yang smiles, her cheeks are always round and plump, making her look very soft and cute.

That desert has once again turned into a small clump of fine sand.

"I'm free!"
