Do I really have a thing for female voice actors?

Thinking of this, Tachibana Rin carefully examined Aoki Hina.

Was it just my imagination? This woman looked exceptionally radiant.

Rin Tachibana thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible.

Aoki Hina and Tachibana Rin were such close friends that Aoki Hina could tell what Tachibana Rin was thinking just by looking at her.

He immediately let out a soft sigh.

"I said okay, nothing happened between me and Tazaki-kun."

Rin Tachibana didn't believe the woman's nonsense: "You're all hugging each other."

"If you want to hug me, go ahead, I won't stop you."

Tachibana Rin was taken aback upon hearing this, and a restless thought immediately stirred within her.

I thought to myself, if even Sister Yang can do it, then I, Sister Lin, am definitely better than her.

Immediately, seeing Aoki Hina's teasing expression, Tachibana Rin coughed and quickly denied it, saying, "I'm not as unreserved as you."

Aoki Hina was speechless for a moment. What was that guy who stole a kiss while others were asleep saying?

Rin Tachibana looked sullen and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yang-nee, you're secretly grinding progress behind my back like this."

“Wa da shi, an unsettling desu”.

The girl was unusually frank for once. Aoki Hina glanced at Tazaki Toru's bedroom and quietly covered Tachibana Rin's small hand.

"Rin-chan, have you ever thought that we could try a different strategy?"

"Change your tactics?"

Rin Tachibana was completely confused and subconsciously felt that Yang-nee was up to something again.

Does this woman really never learn?

Having learned so many lessons, how many of your schemes, Aoki Hina, have ever succeeded so far?

Even Rin Tachibana understands such a simple principle, so why don't you?

Hina Aoki cleared her throat and carefully analyzed their current situation.

Tazaki Toru's attitude is already very clear.

He likes little Hinata Mika, and little Hinata Mika also likes Toru Tazaki.

From an outsider's perspective, this is a beautiful thing where both parties are in love and willing.

There's no room for Hina Aoki and Rin Tachibana to get involved.

Indeed, if that were all there was to it, then Aoki Hina would have no room to maneuver and could simply have Tachibana Rin surrender.

But the wonderful thing is that Tazaki Toru truly loves them from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps this is due to the composer's emotions, who regarded them as symbols of dreams.

Putting aside these complicated matters, Hina Aoki understood a certain principle.

Her place in Tazaki Toru's heart was far more important than she herself imagined.

Presumably, Tachibana Rin felt the same way in his heart.

"As an opponent, Mika-chan is indeed incredibly strong, and she holds a special place in Tazaki-kun's heart."

Rin Tachibana was somewhat displeased, and since Hina Aoki was telling the truth, she was even more displeased.

"Don't say things that embolden others. That's not like you. Besides, you can't stand up for yourself."

Rin Tachibana patted her chest: "I'm here for you, aren't I?"

I don't know where she gets her confidence from.

Hina Aoki put down her chopsticks, her expression becoming slightly more serious.

"Hey, Rin-chan, I've been thinking about this all night. I can't make up my mind on my own, so I think it's necessary to ask for your opinion."

"What's the matter? Why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

"If, I mean if... Mika-chan is our partner, wouldn't we be invincible?"

Rin Tachibana blinked blankly, not understanding what Hina Aoki meant.

“Sometimes, taking a different path might actually lead to a better outcome,” Hina Aoki said meaningfully.

"Sis, could you say something I can understand? I just woke up and my head is still spinning. Please explain it clearly."

Hina Aoki sighed softly, leaned close to Rin Tachibana's ear, and whispered:

"If three people can do it, then four people... can't they too?"

"........."

Rin Tachibana was stunned. The octopus sausage she was holding with her chopsticks fell onto her plate with a thud, her eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

She quickly reached out her palm and touched Hina Aoki's forehead.

My temperature is normal; I don't have a fever.

How come it was burning so badly early in the morning?

"No way, Yang-jie, you mean..."

Hina Aoki nodded emphatically.

"Rin-chan, do you dislike Mika-chan?"

"I hate her... Of course not, she's a really nice person."

Rin Tachibana paused, her eyes widening: "Yo-nee, you're going to beg her? Isn't that too humiliating!"

Hina Aoki snorted, "I'll make her beg me."

Are you sick? Are you still half asleep?

Hina Aoki remained silent, simply watching Rin Tachibana quietly.

Rin Tachibana was completely stunned: "Are you serious?"

"If things continue like this, we'll just be kicked aside like sardines on the street."

"I've tried many tricks, but I've never won against either Mika-chan or Little Sheep."

"If there are only winners and losers in relationships, then in the end, Oshima Haruna will definitely be the loser."

"But if, if no one loses in this relationship, am I...?"

"Could we win just once?"

Rin Tachibana was speechless.

Aoki Hina's eyes revealed determination and resolve.

Rin Tachibana suddenly realized that this was probably Hina Aoki's last elaborate scheme.

Suddenly, Tachibana Rin picked up the sausage again and put it in her mouth.

After finishing her meal, she put her hands together and said she was full.

Hina Aoki gazed at her silently the whole time.

Rin Tachibana slowly turned her head.

"I told you long ago, I will always be with you. What you long for is what I long for."

Hina Aoki smiled.

She knew that Tachibana Rin would say that.

The weight on her heart seemed to have been lifted completely, and the girl slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

“However, there is one thing I’m worried about,” Tachibana Rin said nervously.

"What is it?"

Rin Tachibana counted on her fingers: "One, two, three, four... Can he handle it? You really don't treat Tazaki like a human being."

"Where did the fourth one come from?"

Rin Tachibana pouted: "With Yang-nee's Xingyu, wouldn't one of you be worth two?"

"........."

487. Mika-chan, I confessed my feelings to him.

When Tazaki Toru woke up again, it was already noon.

Fortunately, he didn't plan to go out today, so he didn't have to worry about being late.

Stepping out of the bedroom, he found the house empty; both female voice actresses had gone out to work, which made him feel a little relieved.

Given his current state, Tazaki Toru would feel extremely uncomfortable if he continued to spend time with Aoki Hina.

To put it more bluntly.

Tazaki Toru is unsure whether his "liking" for Aoki Hina hides something else entirely.

If his "love" was truly pure enough, why didn't he push Aoki Hina away immediately when she hugged him?

Tazaki Toru rubbed his head as he walked out of the bedroom. He passed the dining table, where a breakfast wrapped in plastic wrap was placed with a sticky note with some writing on it.

"This isn't a breakfast made with love, so please enjoy it without feeling guilty."

Tazaki Toru lifted the plastic wrap and saw a sausage cut in half and skewered into a heart shape with toothpicks. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

After finishing this breakfast, which wasn't exactly a loving breakfast, Toru Tazaki went upstairs to the music room.

After MyGO's rehearsal ended, Hina Aoki sat alone in a cafe near the station.

Sitting by the window, the world outside is filtered through a soft-focus lens; the red brick walls of the old buildings across the street absorb the last rays of warm light before sunset.

Gently stirring the coffee in the cup, the twilight, like a piece of melting honey, seeps through the glass into the black coffee.
