Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

The emotions in my heart seemed to have finally reached a critical point at a certain moment.

She heard it clearly.

The taut string in my heart suddenly snapped with a crisp sound.

It was approaching evening.

Tazaki Toru glanced at the time.

"Miss Hina, next up is the stage play rehearsal, right?"

"I'm sorry for making you waste so much energy."

"Tazaki-kun, why are you saying such things again?"

Aoki Hina looked dissatisfied, her gaze towards Tazaki Toru carrying a hint of lingering dissatisfaction.

"In fact, thanks to my date with Tazaki-kun today, I'm full of energy now, and I can work even harder during rehearsals."

"Thank you, Tazaki-kun."

A faint blush rose on the girl's face, revealing a cute smile that Tazaki Toru was familiar with.

That lost confidence seems to be making a comeback.

"It seems my worries were unnecessary."

"Hey, Tazaki-kun, can you tell me why you wanted to come and help me with my promotional tour?"

"Miss Hina, you haven't seemed very energetic these past few days."

"When I'm relaxed, I feel like playing the piano, and I thought you might have the same idea."

"Did I go to unnecessary trouble?"

Tazaki Toru never considered himself a good comforter.

He doesn't have outstanding eloquence, and sometimes he worries that he might say the wrong thing and unintentionally touch someone else's sensitive spot.

If he were to openly express his concern, it might actually damage Hina Aoki's self-esteem.

That's why he chose to perform on the streets.

Just as Aoki Hina understood what kind of man Tazaki Toru was, Tazaki Toru revealed that Aoki Hina was a girl full of music at heart.

Compared to weak, flowery words.

Music is a better way to convey their message.

"I'm sorry, I must have worried Tazaki-kun about my behavior lately."

“Everyone has times like this, and I am no exception. This makes me even more convinced that Ms. Hina is the same kind of person as me. Even when we are at our lowest point, as long as we hold onto our beliefs, we can always get through it.”

"I'm so sorry, I panicked and had to lie the day Rin's parents came to our house."

"Because I really don't want Tazaki-kun to move away."

"I can feel it, thank you for valuing me so much."

Tazaki Toru maintained his gentle smile, completely unaware that the girl's words contained an even more special and unspeakable emotion.

"I'm so happy today because Tazaki-kun is by my side. I'm really happy."

Suddenly, the girl paused, and gently lowered her head.

When she looked up again, her clear, bright eyes reflected the gentle face of Toru Tazaki.

“Hey, Tazaki-kun.”

"I also...have something I want to say to you."

The air was crisp and clear, and every breath carried a cool, slightly salty sweetness that seeped deep into my lungs.

Under the pale, yellowish May sky, on the streets at dusk, pedestrians walked in their own directions.

Only they remained standing still.

The flowing wind seemed to be frozen into transparent jelly, and soft jazz music could be faintly heard coming from a nearby music store.

The deep bass and melodious saxophone drifted out like wisps of smoke, enveloping them without warning.

"You, come closer to my ear."

The girl said this.

"Lower, lower still."

Tazaki Toru bent down, adopting a listening posture.

Ah~ Ah~~ Tazaki-kun, you're such an unsuspecting person.

Knowing that I'm a girl who lies all the time, why do you always trust me like this?

Didn't you see the way the girls looked at you when you were on the roadshow?

They wish they could devour you whole.

But I can't bring myself to despise them.

I think the thoughts in my mind are definitely more dangerous, more filthy, and more difficult to extricate myself from than theirs.

I know in my heart that I may hold an important place in your heart, but I am far from what I truly want.

I also know that once you learn of my secret thoughts, you will be disappointed in me.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't become the ideal Hina Aoki in your heart.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't be a girl who was 100% passionate about music.

Even so, I don't want to lie to you anymore.

If I don't tell you these things, my body might explode and leave nothing behind.

The girl stood in the wind, tiptoeing.

Her pale pink lips approached his ear.

Unexpectedly, my pounding heart calmed down at that moment.

The words she had held back for countless days and nights seemed to slip out more easily than she had imagined.

"Tazaki-kun, I like you."

The girl smiled faintly.

Slowly, I took a few steps back.

She looked at Toru Tazaki with a smile.

He took in the astonishment and blankness on his face.

Hina Aoki continued to back away, then turned and ran off.

A pure white long dress and jet-black hair fluttered wildly in the air, as if she were running freely in a golden wheat field.

After running several meters away, the girl turned back again, the golden sunset shining on her lovely cheeks.

Ignoring the astonishment of passersby, she brought her hands to her lips like megaphones, leaned forward uncontrollably, and shouted loudly.

It was as if they wanted the sky to hear it.

"Tazaki-kun, I like you!"

Tazaki Toru gazed at the girl in the distance.

The girl's cheerful smile made him momentarily lose his composure.

Hina Aoki stood still, completely oblivious to the surprised looks from passersby.

Many times, Aoki Hina always acted timid and submissive when facing Tazaki Toru.

Unauthorized expectations, unauthorized anxiety, unauthorized breaches of defenses.

She didn't know when it started, but she no longer felt as comfortable as before when she was with Toru Tazaki.

It's not that Tazaki Toru has changed.

Tazaki Toru is still the same Tazaki Toru, but Aoki Hina has become unrecognizable.

If Tazaki Toru hadn't invited her out today, hadn't performed on the street together, and hadn't run around Shimokitazawa in a disheveled state together...

Hina Aoki will still be that timid girl, only daring to hide in the shadows and spy on his tenderness from afar.

She seemed to have rediscovered the original aspirations she had once lost.

When her suppressed emotions broke free of their cage, she discovered that the feeling wasn't as terrible as she had imagined.

Hina Aoki walked step by step toward Toru Tazaki.
