Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"Who is this person today, and who is that person tomorrow?"

"If I insist on getting to the bottom of all this before I'm satisfied, wouldn't I be labeled a stalker, a sexist, and a troublemaker?"

She raised her head, and the emotions flickering in her eyes were quite similar to the words she spoke.

"She's the scriptwriter for MyGO Animation, and I really wanted to incorporate her inspiration into my music."

"How can that be!" Hina Aoki exclaimed in surprise.

"Well, I naturally refused repeatedly, but she was so persistent and difficult to deal with that it gave me a real headache."

"So that's why she had that pleading look on her face? I thought she was about to kneel down before you."

Tazaki Toru lowered his head and met the eyes of the girl in his arms: "Miss Aoki, you were clearly recording a program at the time, how could you see so clearly?"

"I can multitask; a cat's brain has a dual-track structure."

"I see. Then I can only hope that your fingers aren't cat claws. If I move even slightly, your nails will pierce my clothes and leave claw marks on my skin."

Although Tazaki Toru's words were tactful, Miss Aoki was intelligent enough to understand them.

This clearly meant for her to let go of her hand.

However, Aoki Hina did not do that. Instead, she tightened her arms around him, making it appear to outsiders that she was holding him tightly.

She buried her head in Tazaki Toru's arms again, without saying a word.

"Miss Aoki?" Toru Tazaki asked in surprise.

"I'm really exhausted and mentally drained today, so I need to lean on your shoulder for a bit. Is that too much to ask?"

It's not that you can't lend it.

To be honest, Miss Aoki is really short; her head can't even reach Toru Tazaki's shoulder. It looks like she's leaning against his chest.

However, Toru Tazaki felt he shouldn't make fun of a girl's height, so he had no choice but to agree.

"I can borrow it for as long as I want."

Only then did Miss Aoki finally manage a slight upturn of her lips.

The grievances I suffered in the elevator have finally been largely soothed.

"If only I could be like Tazaki-kun."

Tazaki Toru looked slightly puzzled.

"When I was recording the show today, a lot of what I said wasn't what I really felt. I just had to say it in front of the camera."

Tazaki looked enlightened and said, "It's human nature to find it hard to tell the whole truth in front of the camera."

"Of course I know, but look at Rin-chan."

"Even in front of the camera, she speaks without thinking at all."

"She always stares at you blankly, and I have to step in to defend her and solidify her image several times, and smooth things over for her."

"I didn't wear the mask because I liked it, or to please everyone. If I had known that living with a mask would be so tiring, I would have tried to be an honest person like Tazaki-kun."

"That's good."

Aoki Hina's words were exceptionally sincere, without any embellishment; they were truly her honest thoughts.

No wonder her voice sounded so tired.

"Tazaki-kun, will you hate it?"

"...What does that mean?"

"How could a dishonest girl like me, who lies as easily as drinking water, possibly win your favor and affection?"

"I quite like Miss Aoki's character."

Hina Aoki couldn't help but pout: "Isn't that just saying you have absolutely no interest in me?"

But Toru Tazaki thought that was wrong. He would not lend his shoulder to someone who had no connection with him and no interest in him.

Suddenly, Hina Aoki raised her head, and even the fingers that had been gripping his clothes loosened at that moment.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she pointed her index finger at Toru Tazaki.

"By the way, there's something I need to ask you, and you have to answer me honestly."

"it is good."

"Tazaki-kun, when did you become so close to Rin-chan?"

Tazaki Toru tilted his head in confusion.

"Pretending to be stupid is useless. This is the first time I've seen Rin-chan be so intimate with any boy. When did she start trusting you so much?"

"I'm going to get jealous again, even though I'm her best friend."

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, it's just that I believe I get along very well with both of you, whether it's you, Ms. Aoki, or Ms. Tachibana."

"I thought I had gained your trust early on and become good friends with you. Am I the only one who thought that way?"

Faced with Tazaki Toru's clear gaze, Miss Aoki helplessly turned her head away:

"...If Tazaki-kun comes up with such an argument, I simply can't refute you. It's too unfair."

……

……

Inside the restroom at the train station.

Ms. Tachibana sighed deeply in front of the mirror, feeling conflicted as she recalled the situation in the elevator earlier.

I was really scared at the time, and I couldn't care less about my image. I completely forgot about Hina Aoki.

"That Hina guy, the way he looks at me is like he's not looking at a living thing at all, it's terrifying," Tachibana Rin couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Looks like I'll have to lock the door tonight, otherwise I might get attacked and assassinated by the catwoman next door.

While pondering a solution, Tachibana Rin thought about how to win over Aoki Hina and improve her mood so that she would let her off the hook.

As soon as I came out of the restroom, I saw Aoki Hina clinging tightly to Tazaki Toru in the distance.

Miss Tachibana's eyes widened instantly, her mouth gaped open, and her face was filled with disbelief.

No, Yang-jie, are you serious?!

139. He's definitely going to spend the night at the female voice actress's house again.

While taking the train home, for some reason, Tachibana Rin looked strange, appearing restless and uneasy.

His gaze kept darting back and forth between Tazaki Toru and Aoki Hina, and this strange behavior naturally caught Aoki Hina's attention.

Once home, after Tazaki Toru went upstairs to the music room, Aoki Hina immediately began her interrogation.

When it comes to conversation, social skills, and the ability to conceal one's true intentions, Tachibana Rin is no match for Aoki Hina.

It only took a few moments to get the information out of them; they admitted that they had seen them flirting in front of the station.

Hina Aoki immediately clarified: "I did not have any ambiguous relationship with Tazaki-kun."

"Come on, I see you're practically glued to her, isn't that flirting?"

Hina Aoki has always been on the side of lecturing Rin Tachibana, but now her stance seems to have completely reversed.

Unfortunately, Aoki Hina was genuinely guilty about this. Faced with her friend's questioning, the girl, who was good at hiding her true feelings, looked away without saying a word, trying to get away with it.

"Sis, can't you have some self-respect as a female voice actress?"

How am I lacking self-respect?

"No, I need to explain this to you properly."

Rin Tachibana moved closer to Hina Aoki and reached out to touch her face.

"Look at our Aoki-nee's face, waist, and chest... well, let's not count that. Anyway, what kind of invincible beauty like you would go up there and throw herself at her?"

"I didn't offer myself up, I just lost my balance and Tazaki-kun helped me up." Aoki Hina removed Tachibana Rin's hand from her face.

"Okay, then I'll try it tomorrow too. If I lose my balance, I'll do what you did and have him help me steady myself."

"I have no objection."

Faced with Tachibana Rin's provocation, Aoki Hina's main tactic was to remain unmoved and stubbornly refuse to admit anything.

Rin Tachibana was so angry she laughed.

Seeing that he was really helpless against Aoki Hina and could only pick up a cushion on the sofa to vent his anger, Aoki Hina not only did not find her troublesome, but also smiled slightly.

"Thank you, Rin-chan," she said softly.

"Huh?!" Tachibana Rin puffed out her cheeks and glared fiercely at Aoki Hina.

"I know Rin-chan is concerned about me, but I'm really fine. I have no complaints about my current life and I know exactly what I'm doing."

"With you as my best friend and Tazaki-kun by my side, you have two blessings combined. What is there to worry about?"

"I'm not worried about you," Tachibana Rin scoffed.

When it comes to being stubborn, these two female voice actresses are equally matched, and neither of them has the right to criticize the other.

"Perhaps you are right in a way, Rin-chan."

"Tasaki-kun is a very special person to me, which is why I always find myself drawn to him and want to understand him better."

"But I think it's not exactly the kind of romantic love you're thinking of; it's more like a longing."

"Because Tazaki-kun has many qualities and talents that I don't have, I get close to him and fantasize about whether I can become like him."

Like Aoki Hina, Tachibana Rin has lived with Tazaki Toru to this day, so Aoki Hina's words are not hard to understand.

On the contrary, precisely because she shared the same experience as Hina Aoki, Rin Tachibana was the girl in the world who could sympathize with her the most in this respect.

After a long while, Tachibana Rin couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Well... anyway, this is your private matter. I don't understand love and relationships, so I can't give you any good advice. I can only watch you worry."

"I know, Rin-chan is the gentle one, and she's the one who pleases me the most."

"Tch! It's useless even if you praise me."
