Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

"I didn't mean anything by it, I'm just afraid that you might get tired of living here someday and just leave, leaving me with no income from rent."

"Sixty thousand yen a month isn't much, but it's enough to eat out at a decent restaurant twice."

"You agree, right, Hina?"

Hina Aoki ignored her.

After saying that, Tachibana Rin realized that her tone seemed awkward and inappropriate, as if she were begging him not to move out, so she quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Of course I won't feel lonely. I'm mainly worried about Hina. Without you teaching her to compose at night, she might bother me every day."

Upon hearing this, Hina Aoki felt utterly helpless.

In her opinion, Rin's acting skills are still a bit lacking.

He can't convincingly portray any character.

He's the most convincing monkey actor.

In the past, Tachibana Rin could have used her wealthy and powerful image to boss Tazaki Toru around.

But now that she discovers that Tazaki Toru's family doesn't seem to be what she thought, and that they might move away at any time, Tachibana Rin immediately reveals her true colors.

She's clearly terminally ill, driven mad by her desire for men.

Although Hina Aoki herself wasn't in a position to say it.

She also understood that Tachibana Rin's concerns were not unfounded.

If one day, Tazaki Toru completely reconciles with his family and moves away from Tsukishima...

Then their once-proud advantage of being in a privileged position has completely collapsed.

When that time really comes, what will the two of them have to compete with Mika Kohinata?

Unexpectedly, Tazaki Toru shook his head at that moment.

"Initially, I did move in here because the rent was cheap and the music room was well-equipped."

"And the piano in the living room, I always miss it."

"But as time goes by, people always develop strange feelings about the things around them, and I am no exception."

"To be honest, every day when I come home and see Ms. Hina and Ms. Tachibana being so close, I feel incredibly warm and fuzzy."

"It seems that without realizing it, I've come to regard you all as important as family."

"It might not be impossible for me to have the thought that I would like to stay here for a long time."

"Of course, I know there's no such thing as a free lunch."

"I don't know where I'll go from here, but at least for this moment."

"My home is only here."

The two girls froze, staring at the handsome man in front of them, listening to his heartwarming words.

Her lips parted slightly, her mind in turmoil, but she remained silent for a long time.

Tazaki...

Tazaki-kun...

Potato ki.

444. Now, a threesome is really just around the corner.

night.

After taking a shower, Tazaki Toru talks to Kohinata Mika in his bedroom.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Toru Tazaki brought up the incident from earlier that day and expressed his sincere apologies.

Mika Kohinata was quiet for a while before saying, "Toru-kun, you sound a little tired. Are you troubled?"

"Hmm, maybe."

This is how Toru Tazaki answered.

So far, Toru Tazaki has never made any mistakes at work. Even Toru Tazaki himself finds it unbelievable that such a basic error was so unexpected.

He knocked on the door, but still pushed it open and entered without thinking.

He silently composed himself, not wanting to affect Mika Kohinata's mindset because of himself.

Tazaki Toru changed the subject and said softly, "The stage outfit is very beautiful."

"Um... thank you."

"Actually, that turtleneck was a bit hot to wear, and I was worried that it would make my neck look shorter."

"No, I think it's beautiful."

"Hmm..." Mika Kohinata said in a slightly shy voice, and said thank you again very softly.

Suddenly, the girl asked, "Tou-kun, have you praised everyone yet?"

"what?"

"Performance costume."

"I think everyone would be very happy if Toru were to give me some generous praise."

"I originally wanted to say it, but after experiencing that accident, it became difficult to say it."

"If someone mistakenly thinks I'm implying something else, then this would probably constitute harassment."

After witnessing girls changing clothes and seeing their various lingerie poses, he can still compliment their outfits without batting an eye.

No matter which angle you look at it from, it appears extremely sleazy.

Tazaki Toru could never do something like that.

Mika Kohinata was amused by this statement, but at the same time she could feel the helplessness of Toru Tazaki at this moment.

"You're overthinking it. Girls will always be happy if they're complimented on their clothes."

Tazaki Toru didn't quite understand this: "Is that so?"

Of course.

"And I don't think people would think that way."

"Thank you. Hearing you say that makes me feel a little more at ease."

Mika Kohinata sat quietly on the floor of the rented room, hugging her knees, gazing at the dim living room light above her.

Hearing Tazaki Toru say "thank you" over her ear, she just wished she could be by his side.

When he sounds incredibly tired, pat his head and then muster the courage to hug him.

Would he feel better if he did that?

I wish I knew how.

"I'm not smart and I can't come up with any profound truths, but I just feel that everyone is a very kind child, and if I talk to them nicely, they will definitely understand."

"and……"

"and?"

"I have a feeling that no matter what happens, in the end, Tou-kun will definitely be able to resolve everything."

"Am I really that powerful?"

"Who told you to be this kind of person in my heart?"

Even if you encounter something that seems impossible at first, it will eventually end perfectly.

Tazaki Toru, who had no recollection of being such a flawless person, couldn't help but ask, "Where does this blind confidence of yours come from?"

"Hmm... calling it 'confidence' isn't quite right, it's just my expectation."

"expect?"

"Ok.

"No one will feel sad, everyone will have a happy ending, and they will be happy forever. How wonderful that would be?"

These are words that perfectly match her personality.

Just as Mika Kohinata said, she wasn't the kind of girl who could offer advice or suggestions to Toru Tazaki. At most, she could only comfort or encourage him from his side, and couldn't do anything more.

Tazaki Toru, however, felt that this was enough.

Even if he is not the perfect person that Mika Kohinata describes, he will do his best to show his true feelings.

Then, let them be able to form a band that is always happy, without any worries.

……

……

The second floor.

The room was dark and quiet.

Hina Aoki lay blankly on the bed, staring silently at the dark ceiling.

There was no sound around her, so she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.

Recalling what Toru Tazaki had said, she couldn't help but smile, unable to calm down.

dong dong dong.

The door was pushed open a crack, and the faint light from the motion-sensor lights in the hallway slightly illuminated the silhouette of a person at the doorway.

Rin Tachibana, dressed in pajamas, stood silently at the door, clutching her pillow tightly.

"Hina, I... can't sleep."

Clearly, Ms. Tachibana was also too excited to sleep because of the same thing.

Hina Aoki slowly sat up, moved her body slightly, and patted the bed.

Upon seeing this, Tachibana Rin smiled and eagerly climbed onto Aoki Hina's bed.
