Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Despite having the face of a beautiful young girl, she willingly stays at home and becomes a shut-in.

As a mother, it's only natural to worry.

Upon learning that she already had someone she liked, he felt relieved and thought it was a good thing.

However, the idea of ​​postponing blind dates prompted the mother to take another action.

Of course, she'll be curious about the person her daughter likes.

Faced with her mother's barrage of questions, Tachibana Rin felt dizzy and didn't know where to begin.

“Miyou, your sister is embarrassed, why don’t you explain?”

“I’m not embarrassed,” Tachibana Rin retorted stubbornly.

Kubo Miyu glanced at Tachibana Rin: "Hmm... I don't know the specifics, but she seems like a nice person."

"You know, with Mingyou's difficult personality, most of the boys she takes a liking to are pretty much what they are."

"That's true."

No, why not just praise him? Why take the opportunity to insult Rin-nee as well?

With these thoughts in mind, Tachibana Rin remained silent. Even Tachibana Rin understood the principle that silence is golden.

It's best not to get into trouble unintentionally; let's just quietly brush this topic aside.

It must be said that the idea was good, but the mother was clearly not easy to fool.

"Don't you have any special features?"

"Special features? Hmm... He's very handsome."

"Isn't it still about looks? Mingyou, Mom has to remind you, just looking at looks doesn't mean you like someone."

The implication is that what you did was lust.

Lin Jie was somewhat displeased when she heard her mother say this.

"It's not because of his looks, he has many good qualities, okay?"

"For example?"

"For example...for example..."

What kind of torture is this?

Why do I still have to find every possible way to praise that guy even though I'm already back in Osaka?

Even so, Tachibana Rin's mind was involuntarily filled with Tazaki Toru's gentle smiling face.

"He has a very gentle smile."

"Let me remind you, looks also play a role."

Rin Tachibana glared at Miyu Kubo: "Sis, don't interrupt."

"That's not all. He's a really nice person, maybe a little too nice."

"She plays the piano beautifully, cooks pretty well, is hardworking, always keeps the house very clean, and even makes me breakfast."

Rin Tachibana praised Toru Tazaki as if he knew them all by heart, thinking to herself, "I've said it so thoroughly, now Mom should have nothing to say."

"Cleaning up? Making breakfast? You two aren't already living together, are you?"

Rin Tachibana's expression froze.

"I...I haven't even agreed to date him yet! How could we be living together! Don't joke like that."

The mother scrutinized Kubo Miyu and Tachibana Rin, then hesitated for a moment before asking suspiciously:

"You two sisters, you didn't secretly make up a person just to make Mingyou avoid blind dates, did you?"

"Mom, is this all the trust you give me?"

"Your sister might not be able to do it, and as for you, I can't say."

"........."

Rin Tachibana was hurt; it seemed she hadn't gained her mother's trust at all.

"Where are the photos? Surely you have some photos."

The mother first looked at Tachibana Rin, and seeing that she did not say a word, she turned to look at Kubo Miyu.

"No, Mom, don't look at me! If I have his picture, it'll be a huge problem. Mingyou has it on her phone, I've seen it."

"?"

The photos Rin Tachibana took were all taken secretly while Toru Tazaki was asleep; she couldn't possibly show them to her mother.

But if I don't show it to my mother, who is suspicious and suspicious, she might just think it's nonsense.

In that case, she would most likely be forced to choose a few of the photos on the coffee table to meet.

Left with no other choice, Tachibana Rin had to urgently seek help from Aoki Hina, and quickly sent her a message.

Wait for me three minutes.

Hina Aoki responded as follows.

About three minutes later, I received a picture on my phone of Toru Tazaki playing the piano attentively in the music room.

Judging from the photos alone, they appear to have been taken on the spot.

In any case, it was a great help.

After receiving Tazaki Toru's photo, Tachibana Rin hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't resist her mother's gaze and obediently handed over the phone.

The mother took the phone and looked at it.

Just as the eldest daughter said, the young man in the photo did indeed have a delicate and handsome face, with his jet-black hair tied back, and he looked extremely focused as he played the piano.

"Why do I feel like this scene looks familiar?" the mother said, frowning.

Rin Tachibana thought to herself, "Oh no!" and her little brain started working at lightning speed.

The advantage of being good at mental arithmetic is fully demonstrated at this moment; not only can one calculate numbers clearly, but one can also provide clear and concise explanations.

"Oh! This is the keyboard I asked him to help me set up the other day. It was a new keyboard that Hina-chan bought. I didn't know how to use it, so I asked him to come over and help me."

"Coming to my house to tune my piano so late at night?"

"But they have to work during the day too! I wouldn't want to bother them."

The mother nodded.

Remembering that her daughter didn't live alone in Tokyo, but that another girl lived in the house, greatly reduced the possibility that her daughter was living with a man, which put her at ease.

It seems her daughter wasn't just fooling her; she genuinely seems to have someone she likes.

The father, who had been mostly silent, also came over.

As always, Toru Tazaki in the photo exudes a quiet and gentle temperament, allowing one to feel the unique artistic temperament of a musician.

Perhaps his face is a plus, but more importantly, Toru Tazaki naturally gives people a sense of approachability and ease.

It is precisely this quality that has enabled a girl as difficult to get along with as Tachibana Rin to live with him until now.

She even gradually developed different feelings for him during their time together.

"It's really good."

These four simple words reveal the father's attitude.

Regarding Rin Tachibana's matchmaking activities, her mother has always been in charge, and her father generally doesn't offer any opinions on this matter.

However, when it comes to actually discussing marriage, the father still has a significant say.

Even if it's a blind date, the father's approval is still required for the process to proceed smoothly.

Before this, the photos of the blind dates chosen by the mother had never received any positive praise from the father.

It is truly remarkable that a father could utter those two words based solely on a photograph.

Huh? What's going on?

It seems like they not only oppose it, but also quite support it.

Rin Tachibana had originally envisioned many arguments, such as "marrying someone of equal social standing" or "being after my family's money."

However, this anticipated situation did not occur at all.

On the contrary, neither of the parents said anything to object.

Is this one of the benefits of being handsome?

And you said you can't judge a book by its cover, but Mom, don't you also think he's very pleasing to the eye?

The girl inwardly grumbled, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If this incident can truly stop her mother from constantly finding her a blind date, then she will truly be saved by Tazaki Toru this time.

They didn't even show their faces.

Thinking of this, Tachibana Rin felt a complex mix of emotions.

To be honest, she secretly hoped that Tazaki Toru would come to Osaka especially for her.

Although this plot is somewhat Mary Sue-ish, young girls like her are ultimately susceptible to it.

He, on the other hand, didn't even show his face, yet he solved the problem that had been bothering her until now.

This caused Tachibana Rin to develop some strange feelings for him.

Rin Tachibana pressed her advantage: "So you don't need to worry about me. I know what I'm doing. What if people find out that I always go on blind dates arranged by my family and misunderstand me?"

Rin Tachibana's words were half true and half false, which was quite skillful.

At this moment, her older sister, Miyu Kubo, chimed in, "Mom, just let Miyu go. It's rare for her to meet a boy she likes, so let them develop freely for now."

"If the other party really doesn't like her, it's not too late to arrange a blind date for her."

Tsk! Why does he keep saying he doesn't like me?!

What is it about Kubo Akira that makes him unworthy of me?!

I don't even approve of his fickle attitude towards female voice actors!
