C602 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 10:34:42 +0000 UTC"Miss, do you recognize me?"
He decided to use his acting skills even though he really did not know why the woman recognized him.
More precisely, one of the heroines of the Rent-A-Girlfriend franchise, Ichinose Chizuru nodded.
"You are Kazuki Eiji, right? Although it's the first time I've seen your face and I'm surprised because you're so handsome, you yourself said in the rental girlfriend app chat that you would come in a brown coat and black sweater."
Chizuru explained how exactly she recognized Eiji and did not forget to add sweet words. Still, she was not lying when she said she was surprised by the man's appearance.
With that kind of appearance. Is it necessary to hire a rental girlfriend like her?
"Ah though you probably already know, I am Chizuru Mizuhara. You are free to call me by any name because until sunset, I will be your girlfriend, Eiji-kun."
She changed her way of calling him to be more intimate like a girlfriend and even took the initiative to hug his arm.
Most men including the herbivorous protagonist in the original work would blush if they received an approach like this from a beautiful woman like Chizuru, but Eiji was just confused and was sure that the woman had completely misunderstood!
Kazuki Eiji? That's the guy who hired Chizuru but for unknown reasons, his halo romcom protagonist made Kazuki unable to come so Chizuru met him around here.
"Um... Chizuru, right?"
Even so, Eiji would not reject the woman's approach and immediately called her by her first name. However, he knew Chizuru Mizuhara was just a fake name Chizuru used in her work as a rental girlfriend.
Her real name as he thought earlier, was Ichinose Chizuru.
Eiji pretended not to know nor did he immediately explain Chizuru's misunderstanding. Compared to when he was with Miko earlier, he was now acting awkward and rather cold.
This was the routine he chose to deal with Chizuru!
Chizuru was smart or perhaps stupid?
She concluded that the reason Eiji hired a girlfriend like her even though he was very handsome and easily got an actual girlfriend, it was probably because he was a guy who was not good at communicating with women.
So she made her smile softer and said, "Yes Eiji-kun. How's my hair? Actually I came late because it took me a long time to do my hair."
She held the braid on her head carefully and with a slight blush on her cheeks.
If Eiji didn't know the original work, he would probably think she really wanted to be praised by him. Her acting skills were much better than his other women.
But Chizuru was still naive, she didn't know the handsome man she was hugging was also acting like her.
He looked at her face and said, "You are very beautiful, Chizuru."
"....." Chizuru was dazed although this was not the first time a man had complimented her beauty, none of them said it as straightforwardly as Eiji.
Was this man really not good at communicating with women? Why did she feel he was an expert?
At first she thought Eiji would be shy but instead, he looked calm.
She wanted to test him by saying, "Really? You're not lying just because you're worried about me being sad, right? Eiji-kun~"
[Tsk, tsk. Not bad, this heroine's skills are not bad! In the original work, I remember that besides working as a rental girlfriend to earn money, Ichinose Chizuru actually had aspirations to become an actress like her grandmother.]
[No wonder her acting skills are only a few times worse than mine. She must have practiced them a lot while working as a rental girlfriend.]
The heroines: "....."
There was no need to say more as they knew Eiji seemed to meet a new heroine.
This woman seemed to be the type of heroine who pursued the ideal of becoming an actress.
They didn't know the details but Mai who was an actress since childhood and had played in several movies was a little interested in Chizuru.
She might make a good sister addition. So Eiji, this time I'm rooting for you!
"No way. I'm sure many men on the street who are looking at you right now are thinking the same as me."
Inside his heart, Eiji was hot. But outside? He continued to praise like a veteran with a straight expression at Chizuru.
And what he said was not wrong. Besides him, many men on the street could not help but glance at Chizuru because of her stunning appearance.
However, not a few of the women on the street were also glancing at him. The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"Eiji-kun, are you sure you need a rental girlfriend like me?"
"...? Sorry, what did you say?"
Eiji pretended to be deaf because at the moment Chizuru said that, there was also a truck that happened to pass beside them.
Thank you Truck-kun.
The world itself seemed to help him in conquering this woman and gave the protagonist a green hat.
Chizuru hurriedly shook her head, she needed money to pay for her grandmother's treatment and pursue her dreams so she thought she just needed to do her job.
Eiji had hired her, that was all that mattered. And unlike her previous clients who had trouble finding a girlfriend so hired one due to lack of confidence in their looks and social skills, Eiji was very handsome and he was good with words so she was quite happy.
'Huh? What was I thinking?'
Chizuru panicked slightly as she was almost swayed by her own client and hurriedly pulled Eiji's arm.
"Eiji-kun, I mean thanks for the compliment. I heard there's a good cake shop around here, how about we go there and taste it?"
Chizuru forgot to ask why Eiji was inside the small alley earlier, she had no suspicion she had misrecognized her client.
"Cake? Well I happen to be a little hungry."
Eiji just went with the flow.
The two pretenders were soon walking together while ignoring the stares directed at them.
On the way, Chizuru did something she didn't usually do to her clients. She was really curious and could not help but glance at the side of Eiji's face because he was too handsome, right?
With looks like that, she could even become an actress and play the male protagonist in a movie.
Eiji noticed Chizuru's gaze but he didn't know what she was thinking. He secretly enjoyed the softness and warmth pressing against one of his arms.
The woman's body was very fragrant.
It was natural but with all that, she really deserved to be the first heroine in the original work and make the protagonist crazy about her.
Speaking of that guy, Eiji didn't know how far the plot had gone. But looking at Chizuru who was still accepting other clients besides the protagonist. Just like in the manga version that had reached 350+ chapters, the protagonist in the original work still had no real relationship development with Chizuru.
That was actually the reason why in the past Eiji was in no hurry to woo Chizuru even though he had already seen her. After all, with a herbivorous protagonist and always blushing in every chapter like Kazuya, what did he need to worry about?
Well, there were a few things but as a person who knew the plot in the original work, Eiji did not panic at all.
...
In a fairly crowded cake shop, the two sat at one of the tables.
At first they ate as usual until Eiji took a fork, stabbed the piece of cake on the plate and aimed it at Chizuru's mouth.
"Eiji-kun, this... I can eat by myself."
"It's fine, isn't it normal for girlfriends to feed each other? And don't worry, I only used a spoon before and never used my fork."
What Eiji said made sense.
And there was no need to worry about an indirect kiss that she would instantly reject.
But, Chizuru had never even fed her clients before, especially doing the opposite!
And usually she was the one who would lead their date, but now she felt Eiji had taken over their date.
'This is bad, should I refuse and say I don't accept excessive requests?'
Eiji should have known this from the terms of renting her on the rental girlfriend app, had he forgotten?
However, seeing the faint smile on the man's handsome face that somehow gave the illusion of spring around him, Chizuru unconsciously opened her mouth and ate the cake from his fork.
Her face feeling hot, Chizuru knew she was blushing and wondered if she was going crazy? This was her real reaction as she felt embarrassed.
She chewed the cake in her mouth while trying to calm down.
This was just work, and her current reaction also seemed to be good so that Eiji would like her and give her a five-star review after the date was over.
"How was it? Is my cake good?"
"Delicious! But I didn't expect that a guy like you would choose strawberry cake, Eiji-kun."
"My body is made of strawberries so it's only natural that I like strawberry-flavored cake."
Chizuru did not realize that Eiji's words were ambiguous. After all, she didn't know he had strawberry flavored yogurt.
She would only find out that Eiji was not joking when the time came. So right now, she was actually laughing because wasn't this guy quite funny?
Honestly, why would he even hire a rental girlfriend with if he had this kind of ability?!
Chizuru repeatedly asked this in her heart and was surprised by what Eiji said next.
"It's my turn now."
"Eiji-kun, you also want me to feed you? Sorry, but I've already used my fork and spoon. Besides, my cake is also strawberry flavored."
Chizuru refused on such grounds, Eiji should have given in but she didn't expect him to be such a shameless man.
"I don't mind."
You don't mind but I do!
It's an indirect kiss, okay?
You want my indirect kiss?
If it was any other man, even the protagonist who had only been on a few dates with her, Chizuru would most likely refuse and endure the disgust in her heart.
But because of that man, Eiji. Strangely, Chizuru did not feel disgusted and was only reluctant because she was embarrassed and hesitant when thinking it was too much for a rental girlfriend.
Although other rental girlfriends might not mind doing it.
But for Chizuru who had been in the industry for four months, this was really her first time.
'Perhaps it would be good to get used to it from now on? Think of it as a hidden service that my clients can get.'
Chizuru convinced herself but she didn't know she could think that far ahead because of the two invisible halos shining above the man's head in front of her.
She took actions that would make the protagonist feel extremely jealous and green. Before the gazes of Eiji and the few customers at the other tables, she cut the cake on her plate with a fork, her movements were graceful and she aimed it at Eiji's mouth.
"Here, Eiji-kun."
You better not give a bad review after our date is over! Otherwise, I'll...
Chizuru smiled sweetly like a perfect girlfriend on the surface but inside? She was quite fierce.
Eiji knew this but shamelessly, he ate the cake from Chizuru's hand and slightly regretted that none of the protagonists saw the scene.
After finishing eating at the cafe and actually Chizuru was quite mentally exhausted because it wasn't just once, but Eiji wanted them to feed each other until their cake ran out.
At this moment, the two had walked out of the cake shop and Chizuru suggested another date location.
"Eiji-kun, how about we watch a movie together next?"
"Okay, at your house or mine?"
"...Eiji-kun, you're funny. It's at the movie theater inside the supermarket of course. It's not far from here."
Chizuru smiled but her eyes were not smiling at all.
She now had a new understanding of Eiji. The man was shameless and he seemed to have hired a girlfriend just because he was probably bored after being dumped by his girlfriend.
Chizuru could not believe Eiji had not dated other women before because if he were to ask the women who glanced at him on the street, many of them would probably agree to be his real girlfriends.
"Too bad, but sure."
Eiji did not refuse and when they watched horror movies together in theaters, neither of them were scared.
Chizuru only pretended to be scared to look more cute and Eiji took the opportunity to hold her soft hand as if to say "Don't be afraid, your husband is here!"
"....." Chizuru again felt wronged although she didn't know what Eiji was thinking at the time, she was a little embarrassed by it.
When the sun began to set, not only watching movies. In their first meeting, Eiji had also gone shopping together with the first heroine of Rent-A-Girlfriend.
"Wow! Miss, your boyfriend is so handsome!" A female clerk at a clothing store said with a nymphomaniac-like gaze when she saw Eiji.
Currently, Eiji had tried on the scarf Chizuru recommended. Although it was only a gray colored scarf, it increased his good looks by several points.
Not only the female clerk of the clothing store, but many other women in the store couldn't help but glance at Eiji with hot gazes that made Chizuru uncomfortable.
Although she had also been dazed at Eiji's current appearance.
"Chizuru, what do you think?" Eiji asked calmly.
Chizuru gasped slightly and clapped her hands. "Eiji-kun, you're very handsome. Let's take this one."
You are my most handsome client so far.
Chizuru added in her heart and suddenly she had the desire to make Eiji try on more of the clothes she chose.
So, not just scarves. Eiji ended up making the clothing store crowded with female customers just because he tried on various men's clothes.
Chizuru didn't even realize that she got carried away back then.
"Sorry Eiji-kun."
"Chizuru, why are you sorry?"
Eiji was really confused.
Chizuru glanced at the several large grocery bags in Eiji's hands. She herself did not expect that he would buy all the clothes she chose for him so casually, she thought he was forcing himself to buy them all.
He even offered to buy her clothes but she refused firmly because after all, she was only Eiji's rental girlfriend.
She would only receive payment for her rent.
"I've made you spend too much money."
Chizuru did not know how rich the handsome man in front of her was, Eiji smiled amusedly.
"Oh... It's fine, it's only a few million yen, Chizuru. By the way, how much should I pay to hire you for half a day?"
They were now standing outside the supermarket when they spoke.
Hearing what Eiji said, Chizuru took another glance at the man up and down and it seemed that not only was he very handsome, her client this time was so rich that he couldn't remember how much it cost to hire her.
If it was another woman, they would probably add a few zeros. But Chizuru honestly showed her rates through her rental girlfriend app.
Seeing the numbers on Chizuru's phone, Eiji took out his cell phone and secretly told Jarvis to hack into Kazuki Eiji's account that made transactions with Chizuru's account. He changed the anime profile picture on the account to his before paying Chizuru online.
"I transferred the money and gave you a five-star review."
"Thank you Eiji-kun!"
Chizuru smiled brightly, this time not a fake smile, but a genuine smile from her heart. She was happy that Eiji not only paid for her hard work and gave her a five-star review in front of her, he also did not overestimate the money he gave her just because he was rich.
Otherwise, she would have returned the money that exceeded her rate and lowered her assessment of him a little.
Eiji knew this because he knew Chizuru was a hardworking woman who was honest but also very stubborn.
She would not accept money or excessive favors from someone unless it was equivalent to her value.
It was troublesome for men who wanted to seduce her but if you managed to conquer her, she would become a very loyal wife to her husband.
How could Eiji let this woman fall into the hands of the protagonist? Even in the original work, Chizuru had not really fallen for the boy and was still undecided about her feelings.
He hoped that in the original work Kazuya would be rejected at the end of the date.
As for Chizuru in this world? Eiji had decided that she was his wife!
[Shouldn't that be future wife, host?]
'Miss System, it's the same thing.'
[I'm sure it's different.]
Eiji ignored the woman and said to his wife.
"Wif... Chizuru, I can still hire you again next time, right?"
Was it her hallucination or did Eiji almost call her his wife? Chizuru wondered before nodding kindly.
"Of course, you can hire me again, Eiji-kun. At that time I'll play with you again as a girlfriend."
"That's great but before we part ways, can you help me carry these grocery bags to my car?"
"Okay."
Chizuru easily agreed to Eiji's request and took some of the grocery bags in his hands.
She thought the man's hands were sore even though he seemed to have nice muscles under his clothes.
She didn't know it was just an excuse just so she would be surprised to see Eiji's car.
Although Chizuru did not know what kind of sports car it was, she knew it was very expensive!
She wondered how rich Eiji was at his age?
Still, she didn't even know Eiji was several years younger than her. After all, he was actually a high school boy!
"Thank you, Chizuru. Would you like me to take you home?"
"No, Eiji-kun. I'll go home by myself."
Chizuru politely declined.
Eiji knew one date was not enough to make Chizuru tell him where she lived, but it did not matter to him because he knew she happened to live next door to the apartment the protagonist was renting.
He secretly smuggled one of the shadow soldiers into her shadow. After that, he said goodbye and started driving.
In the car, Eiji also did not forget to contact Aurora and said, "Aurora, can you buy the company that released the Rental Kanojo app?"
"My lord, I can do it."
"Good, buy it and pay attention to the woman named Ichinose Chizuru who works as one of the employees."
"As you wish, my lord."
Aurora was excited because Eiji was counting on her!
For Shadow Garden members, other than having sex with their lord, being relied on by their lord was the happiest thing.
And although her lord did not explain the details of what she should do with the woman named Ichinose Chizuru, she naturally understood that the woman interested her lord.
Her lord's woman could of course only belong to him, she must not be touched or get too close to other men.
Aurora was a little jealous but as a loyal subordinate, she would do what Eiji wanted.
...
A/N: The next chapter will show the protagonist Kazuya and don't worry, later Chizuru will be able to hear the inner voice like the other heroines.

What about other girls in rent a girlfriend ??
KristofferXxXxX
I expected no less, for if Chizuru couldn't even hear Eiji's inner voice, then I wouldn't even consider her to be a heroine at all. Hehe Chizuru has no idea just how wealthy Eiji is, for if she knew that Eiji is a trillionaire, then she would never ever let him go. Sure it may make her sound like a golddigger but honestly it doesn't really matter because it is only a matter of time before Chizuru will fall in love with Eiji for real. Tftc! :3
