Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Ms. Tachibana put down her cup, leaned limply against the sofa, and stared blankly at the ceiling with hazy eyes.

Her loose hair clung tightly to the surface of the sofa.

Suddenly, she uttered a soft, almost self-talking sound:

"When I'm taken back to Osaka by my parents like my sister, I'll definitely secretly resent you in my heart."

"You blame me?"

Miss Tachibana closed her eyelids wearily, and just as Toru Tazaki thought she was about to fall asleep again, Tachibana Rin suddenly sat up.

His eyes, which had been closed, were wide open, and a hazy mist still lingered deep within his pupils.

Rin Tachibana reached out and grabbed Toru Tazaki's collar, pulling him close to her, her body swaying slightly from drunkenness.

"I haven't forgotten."

"Don't think you can get away with saying such nice things to me."

"What I hate most is a man who doesn't keep his promises."

"If you don't turn me into a big star, I'll cling to you forever and you can forget about ever having an easy life."

A smile slowly appeared on the girl's face. She loosened her fingers from Toru Tazaki's collar and instead put them on Toru's shoulder, controlling her body so as not to fall forward.

Tazaki Toru finally understood that Tachibana-san was not awake at all.

I couldn't help but admire her, thinking that her troubles were something ingrained in her very being.

It can cause the same amount of trouble whether it is sober or drunk.

Doesn't this mean that the person she presents herself to be is her true self, without any pretense?

In a sense, that's quite impressive.

"That's really a headache."

To Tachibana Rin at that moment, these words sounded like Tazaki Toru's disappointment, causing a smug expression to appear on her face.

"Hmph, now you understand how powerful I am?"

She curled the corners of her lips into a half-drunk, half-awake smile, as if she had won a victory in her confrontation with Tazaki Toru.

Tazaki Toushin sighed softly, helped her up, and intended to take Tachibana Rin upstairs.

However, the girl's lips brushed gently against Toru's cheek, and a soft touch followed.

In an instant, Tazaki Toru seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move.

He wasn't sure if it was an accident or Rin Tachibana's premeditated scheme, and turned his head in surprise to look at this extremely troublesome female voice actress.

The drunk girl kept giggling, her voice still shrill and silly.

"Hehe... Now you can't lie to me anymore."

"If you break your promise, I'll tell Hina about this and make her hate you to death."

"........."

Tazaki Toru opened his mouth, but the sound got stuck in his throat. Before he could ask anything, the girl's head landed completely on Tazaki Toru's shoulder.

He closed his eyelids groggily, a relieved smile curving his lips.

Tazaki Toru remained frozen in place for several minutes.

After waiting for a long time, I heard her soft breathing.

These female voice actresses always seem to do certain things when they're drunk.

Tazaki Toru sighed heavily, helplessly picked up the slender female voice actress, and carried her upstairs to the second floor.

214. Kubo Akira, you dare open the door for me!

early morning.

Rin Tachibana slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the familiar ceiling.

My head feels dizzy and my mouth is dry.

I instinctively reached for the bedside table, where a glass of water had long since gone cold.

He gulped down the contents, which slightly relieved his dry mouth, and then stared blankly at the ceiling.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains, casting a thin curtain of light onto the room's floor.

As the effects of the alcohol wore off and her memories returned, Tachibana Rin, lying flat on the bed, had her face alternating between pale and flushed.

My mind is like an old black-and-white television, which loses signal from time to time and is violently struck by external forces, filling in the missing segments and repeating them over and over.

Huh? Huh?!

What did I do last night?

I'll be killed by Japanese girls!

Recalling what happened last night, Tachibana Rin couldn't help but convulse, twisting and turning on the bed and making strange noises.

She only remembered what happened in the living room last night, and had no recollection of how she got upstairs after getting drunk.

She was still wearing her pajamas, the blankets were pulled up tightly, the air from the air conditioner was warm, and there was a delicious glass of water on the bedside table.

Finally, she buried her face in the pillow and gradually fell silent.

After a long while, Tachibana Rin turned her face slightly, revealing half of her beautiful face flushed crimson.

Gazing at the light curtain cast on the floor, watching it gradually shift.

Miss Tachibana lay on the bed for half an hour, her mind filled with random thoughts.

Since things have come to this, let's play dumb for now!

Rin Tachibana was really not good at these kinds of mental tasks. After jumping off the bed, she tiptoed to the door, quietly opened a crack, and stared at Hina Aoki's door for a while, looking like she was stealing a glance.

Hmm, it seems like Rina hasn't come back yet.

Sneaking downstairs, he had just reached the living room when he heard Tazaki Toru's voice.

Good morning, Ms. Tachibana.

Rin Tachibana was startled and immediately stood up straight, staring intently at Toru Tazaki, even forgetting how to speak.

Tazaki Toru returned from her morning run, carrying a supermarket plastic bag in her hand.

"Did you sleep well? Do you have a headache? I bought some ingredients and will go to the kitchen to make porridge. Ms. Tachibana, please go wash up first."

Faced with Tazaki Toru's gentle smile, Tachibana Rin felt words stuck in her throat, unable to utter a single one.

Normally, she would definitely tease Tazaki Toru a bit.

Today, however, just seeing Tazaki Toru's face made Tachibana Rin feel an urge to avoid him.

His eyes unconsciously drifted towards Tazaki Toru, as if trying to find traces of what he had left behind last night on his handsome face.

"Why would I drink porridge so early in the morning? I'm not sick or have a cold."

"Miss Tachibana drank quite a bit last night, so having some porridge this morning is good for her stomach."

His smile remained unchanged.

He had handsome features and bright, starry eyes.

The autumn wind seems to lose its chill because of his face, just as the notes on a musical score become more outstanding because of his playing. Even the sunlight shining into the living room at this moment seems a bit brighter.

Rin Tachibana was even more at a loss for words. She snorted softly and walked into the bathroom, trying to appear calm.

Standing alone in front of the wash mirror, Tachibana Rin's expression completely relaxed, and she involuntarily covered her face with her hands.

No.

Why does he look so calm?

Logically speaking, shouldn't being kissed by a beautiful girl like yourself make your heart race, make you stammer, and blush with shyness?

How come he doesn't look any different?

Or was it just a dream I had?

Rin Tachibana couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

If it were truly a dream, she wouldn't be so conflicted and distressed now.

There's no need to worry about being hunted down by Hina Aoki.

But what if it really is a dream...?

How could she have such a dream!

Rin Tachibana is willing to swear in the name of the Kubo family that she absolutely has no improper thoughts about Toru Tazaki!

absolute!

Don't confuse her with Hina Aoki, who's obsessed with romance!

Rin Tachibana wouldn't be easily fooled by men or deceived by their good looks!

She! No! Is! The same!

After giving herself such mental suggestions and washing her face with cold water several times, the blush on Tachibana Rin's face finally subsided completely.

Rin Tachibana blinked as she stared at her pretty face, still wet with water droplets, in the mirror.

Besides, I am as beautiful as a flower and as wealthy as a man. Even if something were to happen, it would be men falling at my feet.

However, even after convincing herself a hundred times, when she went out, she saw Tazaki Toru busy in the kitchen.

Rin Tachibana's mental preparation had vanished without a trace.

Given Tachibana's personality, it would be quite difficult for her to pretend that nothing had happened.

Rin Tachibana couldn't do something that was so skillful, so only Hina Aoki could continue wearing the cat skin without batting an eye.

She is naturally unable to keep her thoughts to herself, and speaks without thinking, often blurting out whatever comes to mind.

She was so conflicted today that she wanted to say something but couldn't. It seemed like this was the first time she had ever felt so conflicted.

A straightforward girl, she put in all her effort.
