C772 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2025-09-02 09:37:59 +0000 UTCIt was not like usual where Eiji would eat Grayfia's bento with his other women.
This time, he deliberately did not eat his bento for lunch.
'I hope Grayfia doesn't get mad, but don't worry, I'll eat it later!'
He went to the cafeteria alone but by pure coincidence, he saw one of the protagonists walking in the same direction as him.
With black hair and eyes like those of a dead fish— who else but Hachiman Hikigaya?
"My friend, Hachiman. What a coincidence, let's go to the cafeteria together."
Hearing the familiar voice and the touch on his shoulder, Hachiman was startled and reflexively jumped to the side.
"Eiji, why are you here?!"
{Friend? I'm not sure we're friends. Damn it, what other nasty things does Eiji want to do to me? I didn't provoke him, why would he want to bully me?!}
The heroines found Hachiman pathetic.
Eiji winked his eyes and casually said, "How rude. Hachiman, I'm a student at this school and we're in the same club. Did you forget? You're still young, but I didn't expect your memory to be so bad."
Hachiman felt offended but said, "I mean why don't you have lunch with your women? Even if you don't bring a bento, a boy like you can ask them for lunch, why are you going to the cafeteria?"
He looked at Eiji's handsome face with a suspicious look.
Talking about his girlfriends including Yukino and Yui. It would be a lie if Hachiman said he wasn't jealous.
Damn it! Why hasn't a Riajuu like Eiji been stabbed or exploded until now?!
Knowing what Hachiman was thinking, Eiji smiled amusedly. Hachiman, do you think my level is the same as the protagonist from School Days who was stabbed to death for being a bastard?
You're naive.
After all, I'm a responsible bastard.
[Host, it's just a little better. Is it okay for you to feel proud of it?]
'It's fine, Miss System.'
Eiji silenced the commentator inside his head and replied, "Hachiman, just like you, I'm also a boy who wants to enjoy high school. Having lunch with my women is fun, but sometimes I also want to go to the cafeteria for lunch alone like you."
"Ehem. No offense, okay? Since I saw you on the way to the cafeteria, having lunch with my friends is also part of enjoying high school, so why not?"
"Gugh!" For some reason, Hachiman staggered slightly as if suffering from a mental attack and his expression became ugly.
What, have my words touched his sensitive spot?
Eiji was confused but then, he realized that 'enjoying high school' or talking about the beauty of youth was something that Hachiman seemed to have not really felt.
Unlike in the original work, now Yukino and Yui had become his women. So Hachiman had never experienced the beauty of friendship and love that gave so much color to his boring life.
Eiji looked at the dead fish-eyed boy with a hint of pity in his eyes.
{Don't...}
The heroines: Don't what?
{Don't look at me with those eyes! I don't need pity from a Riajuu and real-life harem protagonist like you, Eiji!}
{You really just want to bully me, don't you?! Enjoying high school? You've clearly done it more than someone like me! How dare you tell me that you want to eat alone in the cafeteria like me?}
{I want you to explode in front of me right now!}
Hachiman was angry in his heart.
Many of them couldn't help but laugh. Eiji was really mean, he liked to bully the protagonists.
[Hachiman was too sensitive as usual. How could I have the heart to bully my friend?]
Eiji pretended to be confused.
The heroines rolled their eyes.
Just for something like this, they couldn't believe what Eiji said.
"Eiji, you... I know you're mocking me." Hachiman pointed at Eiji's face with a slightly trembling finger.
Eiji shook his head, "Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter. Let's go to the cafeteria before the lunch break ends."
"Tsk!" Hachiman clicked his tongue but after that, he walked along with him.
Although the stares of the students looking at them made an introvert like him feel uncomfortable.
He was not refusing to eat lunch with Eiji. Don't misunderstand, he was just afraid of something bad happening to him or his little sister if he didn't agree.
Eiji wondered if Hachiman was a tsundere?
It was fine if he was a pretty girl, he would look cute.
But a boy like him acting tsundere? Sorry, that's disgusting.
In fact, bullying the protagonist was just a bonus for Eiji. There was another reason why he went to the cafeteria.
A while later.
In the crowded cafeteria.
Like a follower, Hachiman followed Eiji to choose a table while holding the tray containing the food he ordered.
Eiji carried his own tray of food while looking around. And sure enough, he saw a black-haired boy with a bowl-like hairstyle— protagonist Futaro.
The boy was standing and looking at the five beautiful girls who were eating together at one of the tables with a complicated expression.
He seemed to hesitate before walking towards their table.
The five girls were the Nakano quintuplets. According to his Future Insight, Eiji knew this was the scene in the original work where Futaro should have accepted the offer to become a tutor.
However, there was a difference of course.
That was because since a few days ago, Eiji had asked Mio to be on good terms with Itsuki.
Currently, Mio was also having lunch with the quintuplets and waiting for her man's arrival.
"Excuse me, um..." Before Futaro was about to make first contact with the quintuplets and introduce himself as their new tutor.
I should at least give them a good impression of me first. That was what Futaro thought however, he himself was not very good at socializing and the way he did it was awkward.
"Eiji, here!" Mio waved her hand and spoke quite loudly.
Futaro froze. Damn, why does it have to be now? Girl, you're making my situation even more awkward.
The Nakano triplets naturally followed the direction of Mio's gaze, they ignored Hachiman and only looked at Eiji.
Except for Yotsuba and Miku whose first reaction was to wonder who the extremely handsome boy was. Itsuki, Ichika and Nino were surprised because they recognized Eiji just from his appearance.
Itsuki, Ichika and Nino:
Eiji-kun/Eiji/Male God?!
"Mio, you're also eating lunch at the cafeteria? Why didn't you tell me so we could go to the cafeteria together?" Eiji stopped walking and stood beside protagonist Futaro.
Hachiman had a bad feeling. Just like Futaro, he was also cursing in his heart because he and Eiji would probably be sitting with those pretty girls.
Wait, he might be told to eat alone at another table.
However, the latter possibility was definitely a good thing he was.
He didn't want to be a light bulb and see Eiji flirting with the girls in front of him.
"I'm having lunch with my new friends. It's all girls, wouldn't it be awkward if I invited a boy?" Mio was pretending.
In other words, operation wingman was in progress.
From the quintuplets' point of view, her and Eiji's relationship was definitely unusual.
This was even the first time Itsuki saw Mio smiling flirtatiously at the opposite sex. As far as she knew, she was usually always cold to all the boys in the class.
"How about now? Can't I have lunch with you and your friends?" Eiji glanced at sheet five with a friendly smile that would make girls blush.
"I don't mind but..." Mio glanced at Itsuki and her sisters whom she had just gotten to know.
I must say that except for their hair color, their faces and body shapes are all similar to Itsuki.
Being quintuplets is really interesting, each of them is also beautiful. No wonder perverted men like Eiji want them.
[Mio, I feel like you're thinking rude things about me.]
Mio: Hmph! Your guess was right.
The quintuplets: ???
They could also hear Eiji's inner voice and some of them who met him for the first time finally realized something.
Eiji was the one whose inner voice they often heard!
"We don't mind." Among them, Nino was the first to agree to Eiji eating with them.
There was a slight blush on her cheeks.
"Ichika-nee is happy to welcome you to have lunch with us." Ichika blinked her eyes at Eiji.
She pretended not to recognize him in order to keep the secret of their first meeting involving her secret.
Eiji-kun, do you understand?
Don't let my sisters know about my acting career.
"....." The other quintuplets fell silent.
They knew Nino was easily tempted by handsome men, her defenses were weak because of that. But Ichika, why did you agree so easily?
Of course since Eiji had something to do with Mio, they didn't refuse either. Hearing the girls' answers, Eiji glanced at Hachiman while pretending not to notice Futaro's presence.
"Hachiman, sorry. It's okay for you to eat lunch at another table, right?"
Hachiman's lips twitched. Although I know you'll probably tell me to eat at another table. Is this what you call a friend, Eiji? Tsk!
"It's fine, I like to eat alone."
He immediately walked towards another empty table quite far away from them. Worthy of being a loner protagonist, his movements when doing so were so natural.
Eiji sat next to Mio and introduced himself to the quintuplets, "Let me introduce myself, I'm Eiji Seiya from class 2-A."
"I'm Nino Nakano. I'm a second year student from class D." Nino said while twirling her reddish pink hair with her fingers.
She wasn't in love with Eiji yet but because his appearance was her type and she could hear his inner voice.
Among her sisters, she was the most attracted to him. Her attitude towards Eiji was more friendly than her attitude towards the protagonist in the original work when they first met.
Eiji was happy to be handsome.
"Miku Nakano."
"Hey hey! Seiya-san, my name is Yotsuba Nakano. Nice to meet you!"
"Fufu, I'm the oldest among my sisters, Ichika Nakano. You can call me Ichika-nee if you want, Eiji-kun."
Except for Mio and Itsuki, each of them introduced themselves.
Just from that, Eiji could see that the personalities of the quintuplets were different. Nino was supposed to be outgoing but also sharp-tongued, she was quite friendly to him just because of his appearance.
Just like in the original work, Miko was quiet.
Yotsuba was cheerful and Ichika... It's not their first time meeting. She likes to flirt but her acting skills still haven't improved.
When will she ask her future husband for help?
"No, I will call you Ichika. The same goes for your other sisters, I will call them by their first names since you all have the same last name."
Eiji rejected Ichika.
Ichika made a disappointed expression. "Too bad, I failed to get a handsome younger brother."
"Ichika, instead of making me your younger brother, why don't you become..."
Eiji wanted to tease the eldest girl among the quintuplets.
But Ichika hurriedly said, "Just kidding. Hehe, Eiji-kun. Please don't take my words seriously. I don't want to make Mio misunderstand."
She glanced at Mio who was no less beautiful than her and her sisters. Isn't Eiji dating Mai? Why did he seem to have such a good relationship with Mio?
Come to think of it, Ichika remembered Eiji's inner voice often mentioning that he was doing things with other women.
Eiji didn't seem like a loyal boy, he liked to play around.
Mio just smiled and didn't say anything for now.
Still, her other sisters did not pay attention to their conversation and glanced at Itsuki who was busy eating.
"Itsuki, that's rude. Why don't you introduce yourself?" Nino frowned.
Her chopsticks stopped moving, Itsuki awkwardly glanced at Eiji shyly saying to Nino. "I've gotten acquainted with Eiji-kun about a week ago."
"Huh?! Why didn't you tell your sisters before?"
"Ehh... I didn't think it was necessary."
Itsuki bowed her head at the bowl of udon with many toppings she ordered.
She was a little afraid of Nino's sharp gaze. Even so, when looking at Eiji, she couldn't help but remember his bento that she had tasted before.
It was so delicious that she wondered if she could taste again the bento that Eiji brought from his home?
While they were eating and talking to each other. On the other side, Futaro felt he had become air.
Have none of you noticed my existence?!
I was standing right beside the table.
He couldn't take it anymore and said, "Excuse me! Can I have you guys' attention for a moment?"
Hearing this, Eiji and the others turned to the bowl-haired boy. They made surprised expressions as if they had just realized his existence.
Futaro was annoyed. These people really didn't realize my existence in the first place!
"You heard wrong. None of us want to add more water or order anything else."
Miku said coldly.
She misunderstood and thought Futaro was a cafeteria waiter.
"I-I'm not a waiter! And this is the school cafeteria, not a restaurant. From my uniform, I'm obviously a student like you!"
Futaro retorted, he did not hesitate to reply to Miku harshly. After all, that was his personality.
However, he immediately regretted it because now Miku looked upset and the expressions of her sisters were not very good either.
Oh no! At this rate, it'll be hard for me to teach them as the tutor hired by their father.
Eiji seized this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "So what do you keep standing there for? Don't tell me you just want to eat while standing and looking at pretty girls from this close a distance? Bro, that kind of thing isn't appropriate."
Futaro's face looked grim, he recognized Eiji and even heard him introduce himself earlier. "Of course not! I'm Futaro Uesugi, I'm one of the scholarship recipients and an honor student in this school. I just wanted to tell something to the girls of the Nakano family."
"Is it a confession of love? Wow, you're very bold. Not just one, you also want them all."
Eiji said that while rubbing Mio's plump thigh.
Mio bit her lip. Eiji, you... You are shameless. You yourself want those quintuplets.
Hearing what Eiji said, the quintuplets looked at Futaro with unhappy expressions.
They almost believed that Futaro was one of their suitors, they instinctively rejected him and had a bad impression of him.
"What?! Seiya, don't slander me, I'm actually..."
Futaro glared at Eiji, the most popular boy in school was really annoying.
He seemed to have evil intentions towards him.
And since the Nakano quintuplets were his students, he could not let them be tricked by that bastard.
At the other table, Hachiman could hear Eiji and the others' conversation. He couldn't help but think Futaro was pathetic.
Was he crazy? He's competing with Eiji for girls! I advise you to apologize and leave before you end up tragically.
"You what?" Nino aggressively interrupted Futaro's words, especially since she realized his name was familiar to the protagonist of her original work. How could she possibly love a boy like that? "You look moody and your hairstyle is weird. I don't care if you're an honor student or not. You better not have any ideas about me and my sisters. Hurry up and leave before I report your lewd actions to the teacher right now!"
Nino's voice was loud so many students in the cafeteria glanced at Futaro.
Futaro's face turned red with embarrassment and anger. Wasn't it too much to say that to him?
[Is this Nino's legendary sharp tongue? I don't know how many times Futaro had to receive such sharp words in the original work.]
Nino froze, she was suddenly a little worried about her image in Eiji's eyes.
Her gaze on Futaro became sharper. This was his fault!
"Listen, you completely misunderstood. And I'm just standing here looking at you guys, how is that called a lewd act? You're not making any sense."
"But fine, I'm leaving now."
Futaro spoke calmly and his face looked grim. He walked away but since he still had to finish his lunch, he just sat at another table that was quite far away.
It happened to be the table occupied by Hachiman. He ate while studying and ignored the gaze of the dead fish-eyed boy in front of him.
Still, he had not completely given up and was thinking of talking to the quintuplets again later.
After all, he was their tutor! In order to pay off his family's debts, he must not give up on this high-paying job.
"You creep..." Nino was not happy with what Futaro said before he went to eat at another table.
Yotsuba calmed her down and after that, they continued eating.
Eiji couldn't see Nino's positive level towards protagonist Futaro. But he knew her liking for the boy was now in the negative.
It was even worse than the beginning of their meeting in the original work. Of course, that must be because he had told Nino and her sisters about Futaro's identity as their protagonist.
Now having seen Futaro's personality somewhat matched what he described in his inner voice. None of them tried to stop Nino when she insulted the boy.
Eiji wanted to laugh but restrained himself. After lunch, Mio continued her wingman operation by suddenly asking Itsuki.
"By the way... Itsuki, have you started studying for the semester final exam?"
"S-Studying? Ugh... I-I haven't." Itsuki groaned and looked sad even though a second ago, she looked happy after eating a lot.
Nino, Miku, Ichika and Yotsuba's expressions looked strange.
They were not interested in the topic of studying because they were not good at it! Just like Itsuki, their grades in all subjects were below average. Or rather almost zero in all subjects.
With grades like that, they were destined not to be able to go to college! However, except for Itsuki, none of them cared about that.
After all, their father was rich. After graduating high school, they could be whatever they wanted to be.
At least that's what they thought.
"I remember you could never answer a single teacher's question in any subject correctly. Itsuki, do you need help studying?"
"Mio, are you willing to help me?!"
Itsuki looked at Mio as if she was an angel and not a demon.
However, Mio shook her head. "Unfortunately I'm busy so I might not be able to help you. But Eiji might be able to! In the previous semester's exam, he ranked number one among all the second year students."
"...!" Although Itsuki was disappointed that Mio could not help her. She was surprised and glanced at Eiji drinking casually with an incredulous look.
Nino and her other sisters were also doing the same.
Eiji humbly and not arrogantly said, "Why are you guys so surprised? Do you think that even though I'm very handsome, I'm a bad student and don't really excel?"
"Eiji-kun, we don't think that way." Ichika said softly, but there was an amused expression on her pretty face.
Eiji rolled his eyes, "If Itsuki or any of you want my help to improve your grades. I don't mind but you have to go to my club, the Service Club to make a request first."
[The president of my club, Yukino will also be happy that I brought students who need help in studying. I remember that even though Yukino isn't as smart as me, her grades are above average and she's one of the top students in this school. In teaching, she's better than the protagonist Futaro.]
Yukino: What you said is true but Eiji... I'm upset right now.
How could she not be? In the previous semester's exams, she who always got first place in every subject can now only be number two.
Who was first? It was Eiji!
Although she didn't know when that boy ever studied because he was always busy wooing other women and having sex with his harem.
He was actually smarter than her!
Yukino gritted her teeth, he could probably beat her because he was using his superpowers.
In other words, Eiji was cheating!
Quintuplets: ???
They hesitated but compared to Futaro, Eiji and Yukino seemed more reliable to teach them.
