……

After leaving Tsukishima Station, Tazaki Toru went straight home.

When I got home, the two female voice actresses were sitting on the living room sofa watching TV, just like any other day.

Hearing Tazaki Toru enter the house, Aoki Hina greeted him with her signature sweet smile, saying, "Welcome home."

As for Tachibana Rin, she basically just glanced at him. It was already good enough that Tazaki Toru didn't come up to greet her.

For some reason, there was a strange hint of mockery on her face, and she gave Tazaki a subtle "you're doomed" look.

Tazaki Toru walked over, and Aoki Hina looked at him and spoke gently.

"Tazaki-kun, are you free tonight?"

Tazaki Tooru nodded.

"Thank you, I'll come to the music room to find you in a bit."

"it is good."

As Tachibana Rin watched Tazaki Tooru go upstairs, her gaze shifted back and forth between Tazaki Tooru and Aoki Hina.

After a long pause, Tachibana Rin finally spoke, unable to hold back any longer:

"Sis, is that all?"

Hina Aoki glanced at her, seemingly signaling with her eyes for her to continue.

"You're just going to let him go like that?"

"What do you mean I'm letting him go?"

Rin Tachibana glanced at the stairs first, then gestured animatedly: "He and Yo-chan went to karaoke alone, karaoke! You know what I mean."

Those pretty, fair little hands clapped very lightly and rhythmically.

Hina Aoki sighed helplessly, feeling a terrible headache coming on.

This seems to be an indelible trait of Tachibana Rin: independent and incredibly genuine.

They are not good at lying or hiding their feelings, and they say whatever comes to mind.

In a way, this could be considered honesty, which coincides with Tazaki Toru's personality.

In this light, it's not surprising that Hina Aoki is so affectionate towards these two.

“Rin-chan, you still know nothing about Tazaki-kun,” Hina Aoki suddenly said.

"Why are you suddenly acting so aloof and superior?!"

"He's Tazaki-kun, you know. Even if he goes out alone with Yo-chan, can you imagine it's for something other than work?"

Rin Tachibana thought about it carefully and couldn't help but pout, as it seemed to make sense.

In Tachibana's eyes, Tazaki Toru was often as boring as a block of wood, too rigid, and had no sense of humor whatsoever.

"That's true, but lambs are so cute. Don't men all like the kind of defenseless, soft, and delicate type that makes them want to protect them?"

Delicate...?

Aoki Hina was speechless for a moment, thinking that Tachibana Rin wasn't wrong; judging by appearance alone, it was indeed easy to be deceived by that face.

"You wouldn't say that if she had ever shaken your hand."

Rin Tachibana was still completely confused.

After a while, Aoki Hina hugged her knees and leaned to the side, resting gently on Tachibana Rin's arm.

“Hey, Rin-chan.”

"how?"

"What do you think of us, Tazaki-kun?" Aoki Hina murmured wistfully.

"No, you can worry about it all you want, but why bring me along? I don't care what he thinks."

Rin Tachibana was startled and immediately tried to clear herself of any wrongdoing, afraid of arousing her older sister's jealousy.

"A heartless fellow," Hina Aoki muttered.

"I think you've been completely obsessed ever since you met that guy. Being love-struck is not a good thing."

“I don’t have those kinds of feelings for Tazaki-kun,” Hina Aoki retorted stubbornly.

"Yes, yes, I laughed, I laughed."

Rin Tachibana had a completely amused expression on her face, which made Hina Aoki feel uneasy, as if her inner thoughts were being spied on.

She used to be very good at disguising herself; no one could see through her innocent exterior.

However, Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana were just too close.

They were so intimate that she could see everything about Aoki Hina, inside and out, so much so that Aoki Hina's flawless disguise was rendered useless in front of Tachibana Rin.

Ignoring Tachibana Rin, Aoki Hina went to the bathroom to wash her face, tidied herself up a bit, and then went upstairs.

Watching Aoki Hina happily disappear at the top of the stairs, Tachibana Rin silently picked up the remote control.

She turned up the TV volume, slowly leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought, and murmured softly:

"You idiot Hina, you only ever made that face when you were playing the piano before, but now you're completely in love."

Is falling in love with someone really that joyful?

"so good……"

134. You must not abandon me.

Lately, Hina Aoki has been going out early and coming home late.

She goes out with Tachibana Rin in the morning, but returns several hours later than Tachibana Rin in the evening, sometimes even missing the last train and having to take a taxi home.

Besides her daily life on MyGO, Hina Aoki is busy with work related to Regina Miracle and needs to attend related radio programs.

Although the production of a sequel to the stage play has been decided, the script is not yet finished. Once it is finished, he will be busy with research and study, making it even more difficult to see.

When there was a live broadcast, Tachibana Rin would curl up in the corner of the sofa with her knees drawn up to her chest and watch Aoki Hina's live stream on her phone. She would watch Aoki Hina, dressed in a perfect cat costume, laughing and joking with a few girls she wasn't familiar with in front of the camera.

At these times, Miss Tachibana felt incredibly lonely.

In addition, she also monitors Hina Aoki's social media accounts.

Since the MyGO band project is still in the confidential stage, Aoki Hina's social media accounts are almost entirely dedicated to promoting her music activities and related to Revue Starlight.

She often posts selfies with her team members.

Despite the bright lights in the living room, Tachibana Rin felt as if she were curled up in a dark corner, like a voyeuristic mouse.

This led Tachibana Rin to practice the piano in the music room with increasing effort, though it's unclear when exactly.

I sincerely hope that one day when she comes to her senses, she will notice that my guitar has caught up with her.

Gradually, she stopped playing games as frequently as before.

Sometimes they would even take the initiative to ask Tazaki Tooru for advice, and Tazaki Tooru would naturally be generous in teaching them.

Tazaki Toru could even detect a hint of loneliness in Tachibana Rin's koto playing during this period.

……

……

One night in August.

Inside the music room, the central air conditioning unit at the top was blowing out a pleasant breeze that was neither too cold nor too hot.

Rin Tachibana was sitting in a chair, legs crossed, skillfully playing a melody she had heard countless times.

Now, even without looking at the sheet music, I can play the piece perfectly.

Although she sometimes plays the wrong notes, she has basically reached the level where she can perform on stage as an amateur.

Following internal discussions within the Bushido Project, if all goes smoothly, MyGO's first offline concert will be held next year.

The actual date will be adjusted, but the only certainty is that they must officially debut next year.

With less than four months left until the end of the year, there are only a few months left.

Besides the song that Toru Tazaki wrote for MyGO, they also need to practice more cover songs, otherwise they won't be able to hold a full concert.

While it's not exactly urgent, there's not enough time to squander.

As a commercial band, this pressure can also become their driving force.

The sound of the electric guitar dissipated into the air. Tachibana Rin put the guitar back on its stand and walked back and forth in the practice room, occasionally twisting her waist and kicking her legs to stretch her body.

Sitting in the corner, Toru Tazaki slightly raised her eyelids, afraid that she might kick over some equipment, which would be a minor issue if the equipment malfunctioned.

She sat on the ground rubbing her feet and cried loudly; that would be a huge problem.

Fortunately, Ms. Tachibana wasn't that clumsy.

"Tazaki."

A moment later, Tachibana Rin's slightly shrill and troublesome voice rang out in the music room.

"Come here for a second."

Tazaki Toru was taken aback and had no choice but to put down the mechanical pencil in his hand and get up to walk towards her.

She inexplicably performed a set of calisthenics that would make anyone who saw it think the girl might have something wrong with her head and needed an ambulance.

The girl frowned, her face slightly crestfallen, and turned to look at Toru Tazaki.

“I’ve been playing guitar lately and my neck feels really uncomfortable. Can you give me a massage?”

Rin Tachibana twisted her neck, slightly lifting her shoulder-length hair to reveal her fair and smooth nape.

This girl seems to be treating Tazaki Toru like a servant.

This is probably a manifestation of Tachibana Rin's "resentment".

Who told you, Hina Aoki, to leave me aside and go to record a show with other girls and get close to them?

Then I'll make him run around like a little eunuch. If he doesn't do what I want, I'll subtly throw a little tantrum within his tolerance, just to make you feel sorry for him.
