The melody, though simple, is light and cheerful, like filling a giant balloon with gas. But just as the balloon is about to rise, the music abruptly stops.

The balloon, waiting to be released, uncontrollably fell back to the ground.

"Where's the back?"

"Not yet completed."

Tazaki Toru picked up the guitar beside him, recalling the girl's melody, and gently plucked the strings.

Just before the balloon touched the ground, it felt as if all the air in the world had been sucked away, and all objects, regardless of size, floated up.

Tazaki Toru took it upon himself to play his own piano to continue the conversation for her.

Aoki Hina gazed at Tazaki Toru with a complicated expression, and quietly listened to the song until the end.

"how?"

"not good."

"not good?"

"This is a piece I wanted to finish myself, but Tazaki-kun took it upon himself to fill in the perfect second half for me."

Tazaki-kun, can you write the rest of the songs?

Are you prepared to fill in the rest of my life?

If you can't do it, why did you write my music without my permission?

Doesn't this mean that I can't accomplish anything without you?

However, Aoki Hina couldn't truly resent him from the bottom of her heart; she only resented that this man was dragging her into the abyss step by step without even realizing it.

Aoki Hina was unusually emotional, as if a long-accumulated haystack in a corner of her heart had been ignited by a single spark.

"I am very sorry for what happened today."

The girl blinked quietly: "Why?"

"Everyone needs time to be alone. If I were in their shoes, I probably wouldn't want my time alone to be interrupted either."

A faint hint of disappointment flashed across the girl's beautiful eyes, while at the same time she felt a helpless sense of relief.

She was completely unprepared for victory, so even though she desperately wanted to confide in him, she had to hide her feelings and not let him discover them.

That's completely untrue.

"Miss Hina, you seem a bit listless today."

"You found out through the music?"

Tazaki Toru shook his head.

"I understood when I saw Hina's expression."

The girl's slightly tired expression was clearly reflected in his eyes.

"Tazaki-kun, are you worried about me?"

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Hina Aoki remained silent, trying to come up with some lies to cover it up.

But looking back carefully, she had to pay some price for every lie she told.

On the contrary, telling the truth is the best way to win his favor and to keep yourself calm.

The girl remained silent for a long time.

"I'm slightly... envious."

"Envious of me?"

The girl slowly shook her head and looked up into Toru Tazaki's eyes.

"I envy Mika-chan."

435. Since you like MyGO so much, why don't you just marry MyGO!

Upon hearing the unexpected answer, Tazaki Toru stared blankly at Aoki Hina.

Envious of Mika Kohinata?

Where should we even begin to say this?

"I also want to be able to talk about anything with Tazaki-kun."

"But we've always been able to talk about anything, haven't we?"

Hina Aoki slowly shook her head, pouting slightly. Her already round face swelled up like an angry pufferfish, which was incredibly cute.

"Even I have secrets to hide from you, after all, I'm a girl."

If that's the case, aren't these two statements contradictory?

"So if I told you that I want to rest tomorrow, that I want to be lazy, and that I absolutely do not want to go to the recording studio, how would you, Tazaki-kun, try to persuade me?"

"I'll let you rest well at home. I'll cook whatever you want to eat, and I'll go out and buy whatever you want."

"How could you say it so sweetly?!"

To be honest, even Hina Aoki was starting to waver.

Fortunately, her resolve was firm, and she was not fooled by Tazaki Toru's unknowingly sweet words.

If it were Rin-nee, she would have lost her bearings long ago.

In this respect, Hina Aoki considered herself to be a cut above Rin Tachibana.

"What if I said I don't want anything, I don't want to eat anything, I just want to go to the movies?"

"Didn't we just watch it today?"

"Answer me first."

"Then... I'll buy you a ticket?"

Why is it a question?

How many tickets do you want to buy?

"Buy as many copies as you want to watch."

Aoki Hina sighed helplessly, biting her lip slightly, and decided to be more blunt.

"Will Tazaki-kun always stay with me?"

"If Miss Hina wants to be alone, I will not disturb you. But if you want someone to accompany you, I am willing to stay with you and am always at your beck and call."

That sounds so nice.

Hina Aoki increasingly agrees with Rin Tachibana's viewpoint; he must be like that with everyone.

"Tazaki-kun, you must say that to everyone."

"Of course not, otherwise wouldn't I become a lackey that anyone can boss around?"

"Could this be a special treatment reserved for me?"

"Not really."

She knew it.

He could easily make her happy by simply nodding and saying yes.

He wouldn't even tell such a simple lie.

"At the very least, if any MyGO member encounters problems in life or work that they cannot solve on their own, I will do my best to help."

After thinking for a moment, Tazaki Toru added another sentence:

"Everyone in Mujica too."

Rin-chan called him a "master of balancing things," and she was absolutely right.

But Aoki Hina couldn't complain at all; in fact, she felt a little pleased.

I feel that Toru Tazaki is really clueless about romance in some ways, but if he's like this even with himself, he must be the same way with girls like Hina Hitomi and Koko Kobayashi.

Aside from Mika Kohinata, there's probably no need to worry about him being lured away by some sweet-talking female voice actress.

Hina Aoki took a slight breath, looked into Toru Tazaki's extremely sincere eyes, and slowly spoke:

"If it were Rin-chan, she would definitely say that."

"Appreciate further details."

Hina Aoki took a slight breath and imitated Rin Tachibana's troublesome tone and sharp voice.

"Since you like MyGO so much, why don't you just marry MyGO!"

"...She would definitely say that."

Tazaki Toru couldn't help but laugh at her.

"how?"

"Extremely lifelike".

Hina Aoki immediately revealed a smug little expression.

"Miss Hina is quite good at imitation."

"Well, I'm a voice actor, so I'm pretty good at imitating other people's way of speaking."

It's truly unbelievable.

Even though I was just talking to him, as the conversation went on, I couldn't help but smile at him without even realizing it.

Even though her inner turmoil remained unresolved, just chatting with Tazaki Toru felt as if her broken heart was being healed little by little by his gentleness.

Perhaps she was truly beyond saving, to the point where no one could save her.

He could only soothe himself and alleviate his pain by absorbing his face, his voice, and his music every day.

As Aoki Hina gradually smiled, Tazaki Toru couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth as well.
