Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

The feelings she had were indeed slightly different from ordinary "likes".

If I were to define this feeling as "like" without my consent, I would appear too shallow and unworthy of the expectations he has placed in me.

She did indeed long for Tazaki Toru's response, but even more so, she craved Tazaki Toru's approval.

Like a gluttonous beast that can never be satisfied and is in a state of constant hunger, finally being filled to its belly, it says with a happy expression, "I'm full."

Trust, gratitude, and hope.

There are countless words that perfectly capture her feelings, each one fitting perfectly, as if they were tailor-made for her.

But if she had to choose one of these to express her feelings at this moment...

It's not that I like it.

……

……

It's my favorite.

453. Tazaki Toru, are you really a sheep? (Seeking monthly votes)

Just as Kobayashi Koko was about to continue questioning Tazaki Toru about the other girls in the band,

The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside, and Yang Gongfei walked in slowly.

This prevented Kobayashi Koko from raising the subsequent questions.

"There's a free water bar outside, so I... just poured some drinks and came back."

Yang Gongfei's voice was somewhat hesitant, and her breathy tone was several times heavier than usual. Her hand holding the tray trembled slightly. She immediately placed it on the coffee table and retreated to Kobayashi Koko's side.

Throughout the entire process, she didn't dare to look into Tazaki Toru's eyes at all.

Fortunately, the indoor lighting was dim enough that even if the lingering blush on her face was visible, she could still feign innocence and say:

It was illuminated by the light.

Yang Gongfei Na had also requested a song.

But when it was her turn to sing, not only was her singing off-key, but her voice was also incredibly soft, and she would occasionally stare blankly at the screen.

If it weren't for the lyrics scrolling on the screen, Toru Tazaki would have thought she had forgotten the lyrics.

Tazaki Toru became even more certain that she must have over-practiced and lost her voice, so he took the microphone from her hand.

Hina Himegami kept her head down, completely ignoring what Toru Tazaki was saying.

For some reason, the moment Tazaki Toru's voice entered her ears, it became completely indistinct, as if a sharply defined hand was tickling her pericardium.

As for Kobayashi Koko, although she couldn't find out anything about the other girls, she at least confirmed that Tazaki Toru and Hinami Hina were innocent.

And it sounds like Tazaki Toru is a sheep gachi.

They are partners who stand on the same front as her.

Just obtaining this information makes today's trip worthwhile.

So much so that she no longer cared so much about the fact that Tazaki Toru had seen her naked.

We're brothers.

After leaving the karaoke bar, the three people's positions underwent a subtle change.

Hina Himegami didn't dare walk next to Toru Tazaki, so she switched places with him and let Kobayashi Koko walk between the three of them.

Tazaki Toru maintained a reasonable social distance from the opposite sex, keeping a certain amount of space between himself and Kobayashi Koko.

The three were discussing having dinner at a nearby family restaurant, but Yang Gongfei hadn't mentioned their plans for the afternoon.

Today, the two girls are in charge, and he's just an accessory, so Tazaki Toru didn't interfere.

Moreover, he has already accomplished his main purpose for coming today.

After explaining things to Kobayashi Koko, his unease dissipated, and he felt much more at ease.

But he didn't want that kind of thing to create a rift between him and MyGO.

We arrived at a family-run restaurant near the station.

The three of them had just sat down when Toru Tazaki's phone started buzzing.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Upon reaching the vicinity of the restroom, Tazaki Toru answered the phone, and Tachibana Rin's voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Tazaki."

Upon hearing this, Tazaki Toru frowned immediately.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you still outside with Little Sheep and the others?"

"Yes, a family restaurant near the recording studio."

"Why did you go to a place like that? Going to a recording studio on your day off?"

Tazaki Toru listened carefully for a long time, and his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

I wonder what tricks Tachibana Rin is up to this time.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing cough came from the other end of the phone.

"I was just asking casually to see if you had done anything rude to the lambs."

"If there's nothing else, Ms. Tachibana, I'll hang up now."

"Eh?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by another heavy cough.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You guys have fun, I'm really okay."

Tazaki Toru was both amused and exasperated. He shook his head helplessly and ended the call with Tachibana Rin.

……

……

Staring at the phone that had been hung up, Tachibana Rin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a surge of anger.

impossible!

Sister Lin, I acted so perfectly that I even lowered my voice so much!

He'll definitely think I have a cold, and then he'll get anxious.

I wanted to go next door to talk to Hina Aoki, but I found that she had already left.

Rin Tachibana then remembered that Hina Aoki had mentioned that she had work on "Revue Starlight" today.

Useless fellow, utterly useless.

Rin Tachibana was sulking alone in bed.

Then, she took out her phone again and started tapping on the screen to send a message to Tazaki Toru.

[Hina has gone to work. Bring me some cold medicine when you come back.]

Sister Rin, I refuse to believe you can remain unmoved after all this!

Upon receiving the news, Tazaki Toru felt increasingly helpless.

During the previous phone call, he noticed that Tachibana Rin's voice sounded different from usual the moment she opened her mouth.

His voice was much hoarse and rougher than usual.

However, Toru Tazaki's ears were so sensitive that he drew a conclusion after listening to just a few more sentences.

She was faking it.

She even coughed loudly on purpose, as if afraid that people wouldn't know she had a cold.

The fact that such a message is being sent at this moment speaks volumes about what it signifies.

Although Tazaki Toru couldn't figure out what Tachibana Rin was up to, he replied with "Okay" and then said nothing more.

Rin Tachibana was eagerly anticipating a response, but upon seeing those two words, her heart sank.

You, Toru Tazaki, don't you care at all whether I live or die?

Could it be that she really has been bewitched by that Yang Gongfei Na?

When did you really become a sheep?

Rin-jie grew angrier and angrier, feeling more and more aggrieved, as if all her strength had been drained away. She angrily buried her head in the blanket.

Fine, so you're all ignoring me, huh?

Don't talk to me when you come back.

If I say even half a sentence more, I'll be a puppy.

……

……

"Dong dong dong..."

After some time, there was a knock on the door.

After a long while, the door was pushed open a crack from the outside, and Tazaki Toru entered the room after confirming that Tachibana Rin was lying securely in bed.

"Miss Tachibana, I'm back."

The girl on the bed slowly lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing a pair of bright, large eyes, filled with a faint resentment, staring intently at the appearing Tazaki Toru.

"Weren't you on a date with the lamb? What are you doing back here?"

"I'm worried about you."

Rin Tachibana snorted: "Don't try to fool me. It's probably because the little sheep found being with you boring, so she kicked you out."

Tazaki Toru shook his head helplessly, picked up a plastic bag containing cold medicine and ice cream, and went to Tachibana Rin's bedside.
