Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Others may not know, but Tachibana Rin knows very well that he has entangled with several female voice actresses.

There were also photos of him with other female voice actresses on the table, complete with autographs! He clearly has a thing for female voice actresses!

Of course, Rin Tachibana could never say these words aloud.

"The young man seems alright, but I don't know what his family background is like."

The mother adjusted her glasses, looked at Tazaki Toru's photo for a long time, and then returned the phone to Tachibana Rin.

"Hmm... but these are all minor matters. The most important thing is that Mingyou is happy."

"Mom kept urging you to go on blind dates because she was worried that you would stay at home alone like before. Now that I know you are living a good life in Tokyo, I feel much more at ease."

Rin Tachibana blushed, her eyes darting around unconsciously, and her voice was soft:

Actually, I don't really like him that much, but I think he's alright, and I'd be willing to consider it.

Still being stubborn.

Knowing Tachibana Rin's personality well, her family members all laughed.

After that, the mother put away all the photos of the carefully selected blind date partners.

After thinking for a long time, Tachibana Rin finally understood her mother's thoughts.

Rin Tachibana has always felt that the reason her family is so keen on arranging blind dates for her is because they are afraid that she will follow in her older sister's footsteps.

Because she is the daughter of the Kubo family, she must return home, work hard, and find a marriage partner that they approve of.

Even if she doesn't admit it, there must be a corner of Tachibana Rin's heart that she has thought so.

That's why she wanted to join her sister in Tokyo, to strive and make a name for herself in a business that would leave them speechless.

But she seems to be wrong.

She completely misunderstood her parents' ideas.

In her mother's view, the reason she cared so much about her daughter's marriage was simply because she was worried about her.

I worry that her introverted nature might make it difficult for her to live well alone in a city like Tokyo.

Rather than worrying about her marriage, the main concern is whether she can, like an ordinary girl, take the initiative to step out of her room, explore the vastness of the world, and meet more people.

And now.

Rin Tachibana seemed to have finally put their minds at ease.

417. Even your brother Tou got hooked by Sister Yang one day. (Seeking monthly votes)

Tsukishima, Tokyo.

Inside the music room on the second floor of the Kubo residence.

After taking the photos, Aoki Hina sent them to Tachibana Rin.

As the melodious piano music gradually faded, Tazaki Toru looked at Aoki Hina.

He had naturally noticed Aoki Hina's behavior and was now casting a curious glance at her.

"I couldn't resist taking a picture of Tazaki-kun playing the piano because he looked so handsome. Do I need to pay copyright fees?" The girl asked with a cheerful smile.

"That's not necessary."

“I’m not the kind of girl who likes to take advantage of others. If you feel wronged, Tazaki-kun, you can pat me back.”

Tazaki Toru smiled and said, "This way, I actually benefit more."

"If you can speak well, then speak more."

Hina Aoki clearly seemed to be in a good mood.

A rare and precious evening, with the troublesome fellow away, Aoki Hina naturally wanted to cherish the opportunity to spend time alone with Tazaki Toru in the music room.

It wasn't that she disliked Tachibana Rin, but although they had made a promise when they were together, they couldn't be too open about sneaking away.

Even a girl like Hina Aoki, who considers herself a bad woman, can't help but be moved by Rin Tachibana's sincerity when she faces her frank and straightforward personality.

Whenever the thought of attacking Tazaki Toru arises, his overly sweet, fake laughter will subconsciously pop into my mind.

It felt as if I were standing in the middle of a road, my hands and feet bound by chains made of sand.

Isn't this a kind of non-aggression pact?

As usual, Aoki Hina sat down next to Tazaki Toru, and was then surprised to find that the notebook in front of him was unusually blank.

Neither lyrics nor musical notes appeared.

His fingers landed on the keyboard again, and the music was still gentle, but unlike before, it seemed to carry a different kind of sorrow and bewilderment.

Even though Tazaki Toru's face was still handsome and his eyes were still bright, Aoki Hina could still hear a hint of emotion different from before in his music.

Just as Tazaki Toru once told her, the sound of the piano cannot lie.

After the piano music ended, Tazaki Toru remained silent for a long time, staring at the blank lyric book, a sense of loss suddenly washing over him.

The girl keenly sensed something unusual about Toru Tazaki that night.

After a long pause, Aoki Hina spoke softly, "Tazaki-kun, you seem to have something on your mind."

Tazaki Toru was taken aback by what he said. He didn't deny it, but asked in return, "You can tell that from that?"

"Just like Tazaki-kun always silently watches over me, I've always been watching you too. Any change in you won't escape my eyes."

Having gone through so much, Hina Aoki is not static; she is constantly evolving.

No longer as dull and impatient as before, she is determined to be a proactive girl.

"I feel a sense of relief."

"Why is that?" Tazaki Toru asked, puzzled.

"Um... Please don't misunderstand, I'm not gloating, I'm just thinking that even Tazaki-kun has worries."

Tazaki Toru felt both amused and exasperated: "What kind of image do I have in Miss Hina's heart?"

"Of course it's 100% perfect. It's hard to imagine what kind of earth-shattering thing could cause you so much distress."

Tazaki Toru fell silent for a moment, thinking that talking to Aoki Hina might be a good option.

However, Tazaki Toru never confided in anyone about this matter, and even when facing Kohinata Mika, he rarely mentioned it.

Given Mika Kohinata's personality, she would probably feel secretly saddened that she couldn't help him.

In this respect, Hina Aoki is different.

From Tazaki Toru's perspective, Aoki Hina is a mature and reliable girl who is always very rational and good at controlling things.

They would be a good person to confide in.

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I rarely hear Hina-san mention anything about her family."

"Huh? Tazaki-kun, are you interested in my family structure?"

"Uh……"

Tazaki Toru paused, finding it truly difficult to answer.

The girl chuckled softly, "I was just kidding."

"I come from an ordinary family, a very ordinary family like any other.

"Unlike Rin-chan, there aren't as many family feuds to watch."

Tazaki Toru smiled knowingly, his eyes flickering slightly: "Miss Hina, aren't you going to ask me anything?"

The girl puffed out her cheeks slightly, striking a thoughtful yet adorable pose.

"Hmm... If Tazaki-kun wants to say it, he will say it himself, and if he doesn't want to say it, I will never be so tactless as to pry."

Given that Tazaki Toru had previously inexplicably asked about her family, this is likely the reason.

Even if one could vaguely guess that Aoki Hina would never bring it up before Tazaki Toru spoke.

Aoki Hina has a perfect grasp of the nuances of social interaction.

It was this unique composure of the girl that gave Tazaki Toru a faint sense of security and aroused his desire to confide in her.

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment, wondering where to begin.

This feeling that lingered in his heart wasn't exactly gloomy, but rather a hazy, insidious presence that subtly influenced his creative work.

Despite having sworn that she didn't care, unexpectedly, a small scratch was still left in Tazaki Toru's heart.

However, Toru Tazaki was relieved by this.

Fortunately, he was not the cold-blooded person he imagined; he also possessed the emotions and weaknesses of an ordinary person.

It would be wrong to be able to completely ignore this feeling.

"In Ms. Inina's opinion, what kind of thoughts might a person who has been out of contact for more than ten years suddenly appear out of nowhere and show a warm intimacy?"

"Borrow money."

Hina Aoki answered without even thinking.

Tazaki Toru was stunned for a moment before finally uttering a few words: "How realistic."

Tazaki Toru thought for a moment and said, "What if we exclude borrowing money?"

"That depends on the other person's identity. If they were someone you had a very close relationship with, they would only be asking for two things: money and affection."

"People will change their behavior only because of these two things."

That sounds very reasonable.

"Tazaki-kun, are you being bothered by that troublesome female voice actress again?"

"again?"

"Hehe...like Rin-chan."

Tazaki Toru shook his head in denial.

"I don't know if I should describe them as family. At this point, my memories of them are blurred, and I can't discern my true feelings."

Having known Toru Tazaki for so long, this was the first time he had talked about his family.
