Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

She smoothed her sweat-dampened long black hair while looking at her phone, took a slow, deep breath, and went to the entrance to open the door.

As soon as Tachibana Rin opened the door, she widened her eyes and forced a stiff smile to show that she had no guilty conscience.

"Mom, you're here."

The mother, who had just entered the door, was startled.

"You silly child, who are you trying to scare by staring with those big eyes?"

Rin Tachibana felt extremely wronged.

Am I not cute when I smile?

Rin Tachibana glanced furtively at her mother's side; there was no suitcase, only a handbag.

This discovery, which indicated that they had already booked a hotel, brought a slight sense of relief to Tachibana Rin.

"Where's my dad?"

"I'm at the hotel. Come with me in a bit, I'll take you to eat."

Rin Tachibana was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Then let's go now!"

"What's your hurry? I need to see how you're doing."

"Mom, you don't trust me." Tachibana Rin pouted.

Don't give me that.

Ignoring Tachibana Rin, the mother walked straight into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

"I brought some handmade snacks, they're in the refrigerator. You and Miss Aoki can share them later."

"Know it."

"Are you home alone? Where is Miss Aoki?"

"She works at night and comes home very late."

"Look at other people, how come you're so free all day long?"

Rin Tachibana wanted to retort, but considering that her mother's lecturing would go on and on, she decided to hold back for the time being.

She wasn't sure when Tazaki Toru would return, so it was best to send her mother away as soon as possible.

The kitchen in the house was kept very clean and had a warm, homey feel to it.

The mother touched the kitchen stove, then looked at the neatly arranged pots and pans, and the carefully sealed seasonings, and was very surprised.

It's obvious that someone is cooking regularly.

The mother asked in surprise, "Miss Aoki usually cooks for you?"

"Can't I be the one to cook?"

"Don't make your mother laugh, you don't know anything about this."

hateful.

In fact, neither Aoki Hina nor Tachibana Rin knew anything about cooking.

Aoki Hina is a bit better off; when she has free time, she also does some baking.

However, she has been busy with work lately and hasn't had much time to tinker with it.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the actual person in charge of the Kubo family kitchen was Toru Tazaki.

Besides the daily breakfast, if all three of them are home in the evening, Toru Tazaki often cooks for the two voice actress ladies himself.

Although Tazaki Toru's cooking skills weren't particularly outstanding, they were still quite popular with them.

After all, Tazaki Toru only rented this place for 60,000 yen a month. From any perspective, Tazaki Toru got a great deal. Putting in a little more effort in other areas is in line with his personality.

"Yeah, yeah, the rice might be dry." Tachibana Rin forced a laugh and tried to smooth things over.

He was extremely anxious and wished he could push his mother out the door as soon as possible.

However, the mother showed no sign of being in a hurry. She first went upstairs and glanced at Tachibana Rin's bedroom.

Seeing that her blankets were messy and her plush toys were scattered everywhere, he lectured her while smoothing out the bedding for her.

Rin Tachibana had no choice but to accept it obediently.

Then the mother took another look at the music room, which was exceptionally clean, and nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems you're doing quite well living alone, which puts my mind at ease. I'd be even more pleased if you could make the bed properly."

Rin Tachibana nodded her head repeatedly, like an obedient little chick.

After going downstairs, Tachibana Rin immediately picked up her coat that she had left on the sofa.

"Mom, let's go quickly, don't keep Dad waiting."

"I know, I know."

The mother went to the French windows, drew back the curtains, and the dazzling sunset light spilled golden-red hues into the room.

"Why are you keeping the curtains drawn? When you go out to work, remember to open the curtains and let the room get more sunlight, otherwise some places will get moldy."

"I understand, let's go quickly," Tachibana Rin urged.

Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes, delay will only lead to unforeseen changes.

However, things still took an unexpected turn.

Several pairs of men's underwear hung on the clothes rack outside the balcony, swaying freely in the setting sun.

From this angle of the living room, the view is unobstructed.

Rin Tachibana's eyes widened instantly; she wanted to shout to the heavens:

Whose men's underwear is this? Who hung it out to dry in our yard?

Rin Tachibana couldn't help but swallow hard, her eyes trembling as she glanced at her mother beside her.

"Mingyou, what do these lines mean?"

Rin Tachibana immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thinking, "What are you trying to do by hanging your underwear in the yard, Toru Tazaki?"

Don't you have a dryer at home?

Faced with her mother's questioning, the girl was too embarrassed to speak, her heart pounding wildly.

"That, that is..."

"That is……"

Rin Tachibana racked her brains, a glint of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she gritted her teeth and shouted:

"That's Japanese food!"

"what?"

The mother looked incredulous, completely believing she had misheard.

“Those are the underwear Hina wears to bed,” Tachibana Rin insisted.

"What nonsense are you talking about? What girl would wear something like this to bed? This is a men's style, isn't it? It's so embarrassing!"

My mother is a very traditional woman. She believes that underwear and similar clothing should not be worn indiscriminately regardless of gender.

"This is Hina's quirk; she finds it more comfortable to sleep in oversized boxer shorts."

"Mom, you see, pretty girls all have one or two weird quirks, it's not unusual."

The more Tachibana Rin spoke, the more confident she became.

Anyway, Aoki Hina isn't there, so saying a few words won't hurt. Let's get through this first.

The mother's expression was complicated: "She looks like a cute girl, but I didn't expect her to be so...so individualistic."

"That's really impolite. Let's draw the curtains and go out."

"Good! Good!"

As she pushed her mother out of the house, Tachibana Rin glanced back before hurrying away with her.

I finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

466. Come sleep in my room tonight.

At night, Toru Tazaki walks alone on the street.

He politely declined the requests for contact information from several young women who came in groups, leaving him feeling quite tired.

Not long after, he received a message on his phone from Tachibana Rin, saying that he could go home.

Tazaki Toru was naturally completely confused.

Take the tram back to Tsukishima.

When I got home, I found the house completely dark and empty.

Tazaki Toru went straight up to the music room on the second floor to prepare to write a song.

When you're focused on composing, time often flies by.

Until Aoki Hina finished work and went home, Tazaki Toru never stepped out of the music room.

Before entering the house, Aoki Hina was still a little worried, but when she saw Tazaki Toru composing in the music room as usual, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seems that Tazaki Toru did not run into Tachibana Rin's parents.

"Tazaki-kun".

"You're back, Ms. Hina."

Hina Aoki deliberately said, "I haven't seen Rin-chan."

Tazaki Toru said he wasn't too sure either.

Hina Aoki nodded and sat down next to Toru Tazaki.

"Tazaki-kun, let me tell you, I'm almost finished writing my song."

"We made a promise that you would arrange the music for me after I finish this."
