Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

After a long while, there was a gentle knock on the bathroom door, which surprised Tazaki Toru a little.

Through the bathroom door, the girl's figure was reflected on the frosted glass door, only her outline could be seen.

Even though Tazaki Toru believes they are incredibly close friends, gender still becomes an obstacle between them.

If Mika Kohinata were a man, Toru Tazaki might be able to freely put his arm around her and go in and out of public bathhouses without any restraint.

Tazaki Toru thought that he must have been a little dizzy from being in the water to have such a jumble of thoughts.

A shrine maiden who looks like a girl but is actually a boy is enough to exist only in the game.

Mika Kohinata's voice came from outside the door.

"Tou-kun..."

"What's wrong?" Tazaki Toru replied.

"Your phone just received several calls in a row, and I wondered if it was something important related to work."

"No caller ID?" Toru Tazaki asked.

"Seriously, even I wouldn't just look through your phone screen like that! Girls who look at guys' phones get disliked!"

Tazaki Toru didn't understand the logic behind this and bluntly said, "Even if Mika sees all of my phone, no, even if she takes it apart with a screwdriver, she still won't hate you."

"As long as you can reassemble it."

"Tou-kun is saying nonsensical things again! Ah, the phone's ringing again."

Perhaps because Tazaki Toru told her not to worry, Kohinata Mika's gaze unconsciously fell on the phone screen.

When she saw the name on the caller ID, she was startled.

The bathroom door opened a crack, and Mika Kohinata covered her eyes and reached her arm inside.

After getting the phone, Toru Tazaki answered the call, and immediately heard a sharp, annoying clipping sound in his ear.

"Tazaki, where are you!"

It's Tachibana Rin.

141. He said he was taking a shower at the voice actress's house.

Tsukishima.

Rin Tachibana was lying on the bed, hesitating for a long time before finally dialing Toru Tazaki's number.

Miss Tachibana didn't have any special ideas; it was just her curiosity, and a tiny bit of that.

She swears that it was really just a tiny bit of fun.

I definitely don't want to see Hina Aoki get the short end of the stick.

However, after making several calls, all to no avail.

"Tsk! Not answering the phone."

Miss Tachibana sat up abruptly, clenched her fists and pounded the pillow a few times, then sat cross-legged on the bed, puffing out her cheeks in anger.

While Rin Tachibana may not be considered a very persistent person when it comes to training, her dedication in certain aspects is extraordinary.

She was even willing to set an alarm to force herself to fall asleep before midnight in order to watch e-sports matches at 4 a.m., and then wake up at 4 a.m., looking radiant as she snuggled in bed to watch the matches.

With such perseverance, Tachibana Rin naturally dialed the phone again.

dong dong dong-

The bedroom door was pushed open without permission.

"Rin-chan, can I borrow your hairdryer? The one downstairs is broken."

Aoki Hina, dressed in pajamas and with her wet hair wrapped in a towel, slowly walked in.

Rin Tachibana casually pointed in a certain direction and put her phone to her ear.

After picking up the hairdryer, Aoki Hina couldn't help but look at her suspiciously and casually asked, "Who are you calling so late, your boyfriend?"

She knew very well that Tachibana Rin couldn't possibly have a boyfriend.

Rin Tachibana, who can't hide her feelings, would have been discovered by Hina Aoki even before she had a boyfriend.

"Call Tazaki and see if he's doing that kind of thing with a female voice actress."

Rin Tachibana's thoughtless mouth betrayed her once again; she regretted it as soon as she said it.

As expected, Hina Aoki was looking at her with a very unfriendly gaze.

"I told you, don't do anything that bothers Tazaki-kun. Rin-chan, you're such a troublesome person. Now hang up the phone."

Rin Tachibana waved her hand: "Oh... it's okay, he won't answer. I've called several times already, he's probably busy with something."

"........."

Upon hearing this, Aoki Hina suddenly felt uneasy. She pursed her lips and gave a very soft hum.

It was as if everything had become unimportant, and she was even afraid of hearing Tachibana Rin's name from his mouth, as if she wanted to run away as quickly as possible.

"Boring, I'm leaving."

After saying that, Aoki Hina turned and left, intending to slam the door behind her.

"Ah, it's working!" Tachibana Rin shouted loudly on purpose.

Miss Aoki, who had just taken a step, couldn't help but retract it and stand quietly in place, her ears involuntarily perking up.

After a long while, Tachibana Rin suddenly burst out laughing.

"I was just kidding! When did you start falling for something like that? Hahahaha..."

Aoki Hina's face turned ashen. She silently clenched her small fists and glared at Tachibana Rin without saying a word.

"Hey? You're really angry? I'm sorry! I went too far, please forgive me!"

Miss Tachibana, who doesn't know how to strike a balance, can only offer weak and ineffective apologies.

That's why I say there's a reason she's lonely.

Only Hina Aoki has been able to tolerate her until now; anyone else would probably have broken ties with her.

"Oh, wait a minute, he actually answered the phone. Hello, Tazaki, where are you?"

Seeing that Tachibana Rin was still incorrigible and was pretending again, Aoki Hina was so angry that her teeth itched. She quickly went over and pounced on Tachibana Rin.

"...Ugh, Hina, what are you doing?!"

"I'm going to tear your mouth apart today so you can stop talking nonsense."

Hina Aoki pinched Rin Tachibana's cheeks without any mercy and pulled them to both sides.

However, Aoki Hina was ultimately a gentle girl. She restrained her strength and maintained a good sense of proportion, preventing Tachibana Rin from crying out in pain.

For girls, their face is as important as their life. Even if they are just playing around, if they are left with scars on their face, it will be difficult to deal with the consequences.

But we still need to teach Tachibana Rin a lesson; we can't just let her off the hook like this.

At that moment, Toru Tazaki, who was in the cramped bathtub of a cheap rental house in Kamijigo, was clearly taken aback when he heard Rin Tachibana's voice.

Then, the phone's receiver came through the calls of Tachibana Rin and Aoki Hina.

What are these two doing so late at night instead of resting?

Not long after, Tachibana Rin's voice, slightly hoarse, continued to ask:

"Tasaki, where are you?"

Tazaki Toru paused for a moment, then answered truthfully, "In the water."

"You fell into the water?!"

"Take a bath."

"........."

Rin Tachibana covered the phone's receiver and said to Hina Aoki, who was on top of her, "He said he was taking a shower at the voice actress's house."

"........."

Because of the playful fighting, the towel on Hina Aoki's head had completely come loose and fallen onto the bed.

Her long, wet hair cascaded over her shoulders, water droplets seeping into her pajamas, the fabric clinging to her skin, making her feel uncomfortable.

While stealing glances at Hina Aoki, Rin Tachibana maintained her phone conversation with Toru Tazaki and deliberately emphasized, "So, you're not wearing anything right now?"

Rin Tachibana was clearly saying this to Hina Aoki, just to see her reaction.

However, when these words reached Tazaki Toru's ears, they inevitably carried a connotation of "sexual harassment."

In more colloquial terms, it's the lower part of the head.

Fortunately, Tazaki Toru wasn't new to dealing with Tachibana Rin, and knew that she was a magical woman who could unexpectedly explode with witty remarks.

Tazaki Toru sighed softly, "Does Miss Tachibana perhaps know how to take a bath while dressed?"

"Huh?! How could such a stupid thing happen? What do you take female voice actors for? I'll sue you for defamation!"

They've been turned on their own.

What should have been a relaxing bath time turned into a nightmare for Tazaki Toru, who had to deal with a female voice actress with a shrill voice whose strange voice gave him a terrible headache just by entering his ears.

"Ms. Tachibana, is there something important that you need to call about?"

"Um...no, it's just that Hina asked me to ask you if you're coming back tonight."

"...No, you're talking nonsense!"

Aoki Hina's rebuttal could be faintly heard from the phone; it seemed the two of them were inseparable.

Not long after, it seems that Hina Aoki snatched the phone away.

"Hey, Tazaki-kun? Sorry, Rin-chan seems to have had a bit too much to drink and is talking nonsense. I'm sorry for the trouble."

"It's alright, I'm used to Tachibana-san's personality."

"Hahaha..." A dry laugh came from Aoki Hina.

Tazaki Toru keenly noticed that Aoki Hina's voice sounded very listless and was about to ask her a few questions.
