C177 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2024-01-01 07:22:18 +0000 UTC"I'm fine." Mio said.
Basara breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that except for looking tired, the girl did not look injured.
But what confused him was...
"Eiji, why are you also here?"
He narrowed his eyes, he honestly thought Eiji had left the school a long time ago. But apparently not, even when many wild demons came to school, that boy was somehow here with Mio.
Even though they were friends, Basara couldn't help but be suspicious of Eiji.
After all in his impression, he only knew the boy was an ordinary person. But seeing the battle marks on the roof and that boy also looking relaxed as if he was fine like Mio, he also at least knew something about the supernatural, right?
What worried Basara was which side was Eiji on? Did he have an ulterior motive to approach him and the people around him from the start?
Mio frowned, she was a little unhappy with the way Basara looked at Eiji. Eiji had just saved her, how could Basara suddenly suspect his own friend as if he had bad intentions?
As someone who could hear Eiji's inner voice, she of course knew Eiji was not what Basara thought at the moment.
Before Eiji could answer Basara's question, Mio stepped forward in front of him and looked at Basara.
"Basara, Eiji is here because he saved me. If he hadn't come before you two, I would've been kidnapped by that demoness."
Basara didn't know who the demoness Mio was referring to was, but hearing that Mio was actually almost kidnapped by someone if Eiji hadn't come, he squeezed his fists and gave Eiji an apologetic look.
Looks like he misunderstood.
"Sorry Eiji, I thought you were..."
Eiji waved his hand. "It's okay, Basara. I understand you must be very worried about your younger sister. It's natural for you to suspect me of having bad intentions or something, after all I hid my power from you. But just like you and Yuki, and even the other students. I'm not an ordinary person either."
As he said the last, Eiji released a bit of magic in his body. He was restraining himself of course, but from Basara, Yuki, and Mio's point of view. They saw his body enveloped in a purple-colored aura that was slightly ominous but so powerful that Basara was sure Eiji was no weaker than him.
Mio and Yuki were not surprised because before this they had long known Eiji was not an ordinary person.
But Basara? He was a little surprised.
"So are you a witch?" Basara knew that besides people from the hero clan like him and Yuki, demons like Mio, and succubus like Maria. There was also the existence of people with other supernatural powers who hid and even pretended to be ordinary people in this world.
For example, at school, besides them, his father once told him that this school was actually controlled by a devil. Basara didn't know the details, but his father told him not to worry about those devils because they weren't bad people as long as they weren't provoked of course. Also, other than the school, Kuoh town itself was a territory owned by devils from the underworld.
Even so the humans living there were not treated as slaves or anything like that, the devils were friendly and they controlled Kuoh town just for business and even guarded it from wild demons or invasions from evil supernatural beings.
Basara had also seen the proof, not too long ago, precisely when he and Yuki exterminated the wild demons that came to the school. On the other side of the school, Basara saw girls and boys in the same school uniform as him fighting with the wild demons.
Seeing some of them flying with black wings while shooting magic, Basara was sure they were the devils his father was referring to.
But put that aside.
He wasn't sure if Eiji was a devil or a human? Or some other race?
Whatever it was alright, Basara asked just because he was curious.
Eiji nodded and said, "You can consider me a witch. I'm also not a demon or anything, I'm a human."
[The peak of the human race also counts as a human, right? I'm a Human Saint-Galaxy after all.]
The peak of the human race?
Human Saint-Galaxy?
This was the first time Mio and Yuki had heard this so they were a little surprised.
The other heroines too.
They just found out Eiji's race. Previously they had indeed heard Eiji say that name, but this was the first time the man said clearly about his race.
So what was the difference between ordinary human and Human Saint-Galaxy?
"Human Saint-Galaxy... Isn't this the top of the human chain? There are few records of this race, they are rumored to be extinct and some of them roamed the vast galaxy."
"With their power and strong bodies and being able to breathe in space, this race that can adapt to various climates and energies has never settled down in one place."
"Eiji is one of them, can I get some of his blood for research materials?"
A shoulder-length brown-haired woman with a very curvaceous figure said with an interested smile inside the research room.
Eiji somehow shuddered a little, but he didn't regret saying his current race. If it made beautiful women more interested in him, why not?
After explaining a few things to Basara and making the protagonist not misunderstand him. He also didn't forget to say a few words to Yuki, the girl was a bit cold as usual but her attitude towards him had clearly become better than before.
Even so, she didn't seem happy to know that Mio was fine because she was saved by him. Not because she was jealous, but because Mio would still be living with Basara.
If it wasn't for the butterfly effect that changed the plot, Eiji remembered Yuki in the original work trying to kill Mio on the roof. So the scene on the roof before was supposed to be Yuki fighting with Mio before Lars showed up and Basara did a heroic beauty save to the point of letting himself get hurt.
That dramatic scene made Yuki no longer want to hurt Mio because he was worried that Basara would hurt himself to save the girl. Mio will feel guilty and start to fall in love with Basara.
The two girls will become even more attached to Basara.
Fortunately there was a change in the plot and Eiji also managed to cut off the protagonist's chance in this plot.
Eiji originally wanted to go home immediately and give Sona, Rias, and Akeno a reward for being his wingman tonight. Because not only Mio, but Yukino and even Yui Yugahama were also moved by his action to save them.
That was what he wanted to do, but he remembered there was still something he had to do first before returning home.
That is...
In the Demon Realm, inside a castle where there was a large and luxurious throne room.
A man in red robes and shoulder pads sat on a throne looking down at his 'daughter' or 'servant' who was kneeling not far in front of him.
That man was Zolgear, one of the demons in the Demon Council and at the same time Zest's master.
Hearing the report from Zest about the failure to kidnap Mio and what happened before. An already ugly Zolgear with a bald head, a bit of white hair, pointed ears and horns. When angry his expression changed and there was no need to say that he was getting uglier.
"Trash! Trash! You failed to kidnap Mio because you couldn't defeat a human, your actions also attracted the attention of a few eyes from the Demon King Faction."
"Not only are you useless, you're also making trouble for me!"
Zolgear shouted at Zest angrily, some saliva even spurted from his mouth as he was sitting down.
Zest's body was trembling slightly, her face pale, she obviously hadn't healed since she received Eiji's attack earlier. Now that she had reported her mission failure, she was scolded by her master.
The Demoness who previously looked cold in front of Mio and Eiji, now that woman looked pitiful.
She looked at Zolgear expressionlessly and said, "Zolgear-sama, I'm sorry."
"That's it? You didn't even make an excuse to assuage my anger? That's why I said you were useless! As expected of a defective product! It's good that I made you my servant instead of my daughter."
"...." Zest's expression did not change, even so she felt her heart pierced hearing what Zolgear said.
Zest was indeed arguably Zolgear's daughter, to be precise she was a product or demon created by Zolgear through forbidden magic based on the prototype of Zolgear's deceased wife.
Zest's appearance was exactly like Zolgear's dead wife. If not for the fact that preserving her virginity was a requirement to maintain her power, with Zolgear's lustful and depraved personality, he would have long ago raped Zest and satisfied his sadistic hobby on her body.
Unfortunately, Zolgear who still needed Zest's power could only look at her sexy figure without touching her at all which at this moment made him even angrier.
He repeatedly cursed the woman to vent his anger and finally came to a question.
"You said you were defeated by a human named Eiji Seiya. Is that person from the Hero Clan or just a random person?"
"That... I'm sure Eiji Seiya isn't from the Hero Clan."
"So it was just a random person? You, a rank S demon was defeated with just one punch by him?"
Zolgear laughed, his anger rising so that his demonic power leaked out, this made Zest who was kneeling on one knee even more pressed to the floor.
Zest gritted her teeth while enduring the pressure on her body, she wanted to say that Eiji was not a random person, that man was much more powerful and dangerous than the Hero Clan. The so-called protagonists in this world too, some of them were just children who were easily toyed with by that man.
However, every time she wanted to say the things she knew about Eiji from his inner voice to her master. Zest always felt that her mouth could not say anything, there seemed to be a force preventing her from saying what she knew from the inner voice to others.
Seeing that she did not argue and could only nod in response to his questions, Zolgear must have gotten even angrier and looked down on her for being defeated by Eiji.
"You... How could a forbidden magic product like you be defeated by a random human."
"How?!"
"How? You just don't see the world enough. You'll know how strong the random human is now."
Although Zolgear couldn't do anything to Zest's virginity, that didn't mean he couldn't punish the woman in other ways. He got up from his chair and was about to walk towards Zest with the whip in his hand.
But he stopped, Zest was also stunned.
They clearly heard someone's voice earlier and they naturally turned their heads towards the entrance only to see it was already open and there was someone standing there with a relaxed posture.
It was a man who walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his handsome face.
While Zolgear was puzzled as to who was the madman who dared to infiltrate his castle, Zest recognized who the man who suddenly entered was.
Of course, after all it was the man who had recently defeated her with a single punch!
"Eiji Seiya, how did you get here?"
"Eiji Seiya? So it's you."
Hearing Zest recognize that person, Zolgear understood and laughed out loud with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Hahaha! Good! Very good! I originally wanted to punish my servant for being defeated by a human like you. But that seems unnecessary."
Zolgear's expression turned cold, his gaze looking at Eiji who continued to walk closer. "As Zest said, you seem to have some skills indeed. You were even able to infiltrate my castle without being stopped by the guards."
"But so what? Because you dare to enter my house, I kill you! No, I'll capture you and torture you for thwarting---"
Eiji, whose gaze had been fixed on Zest who was kneeling, turned his gaze to Zolgear. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him with disgust.
"You're noisy, I happen to be here to kill you. So die for me."
"Giginuvenuens."
!!!
"Zolgear-sama!" Zest, after all was still Zolgear's servant, it was her duty to protect her master regardless of her personal feelings.
However, she didn't understand either. After Eiji said the last word which seemed to be a spell. With just a word, Zolgear who was previously babbling and saying classic villain-style words suddenly froze.
A black tattoo-like collar suddenly appeared and wrapped around Zolgear's neck. After that, a five-meter tall figure that looked like an angel of death with a black robe and a giant black scythe appeared behind him.
The angel of death swung his scythe towards Zolgear's neck marked with a black collar and beheaded him neatly.
Zest could only scream without doing anything during the process because she was immobilized and scared, the fear of death made her freeze as she watched the figure with the huge scythe kill Zolgear.
Even after being decapitated and his head rolling on the floor, it didn't just end there, within a few seconds Zolgear's decapitated body also perished without leaving any trace as if his existence had disappeared from this world.
Watching the huge figure of the angel of death slowly disappear, Zest stared blankly at Zolgear's final spot. She didn't feel sad or angry, she just turned her gaze on the man who did all this in a daze.
Seeing the man who killed a demon as powerful as Zolgear with a single word smiling gently at her, although Zest was still expressionless, deep in her heart she felt afraid.
She was very afraid of the man in front of her and wondered if he had also come to kill her?
