[Rewrite] C169 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2023-12-24 14:54:46 +0000 UTC"If not what?" Eiji smiled, his smile seemed harmless to both animals and humans. The protagonist was no exception.
"You..." Even so Tobio was annoyed, he always felt that Eiji's gaze looked very dismissive of him. It felt like the other party didn't take him seriously which made him angry.
"Tobi, stop!"
Lavinia shouted, she was panicking at what Tobio was doing. She had just finalized the deal with Eiji, and now you want to find trouble with the other party. To be honest Lavinia was not satisfied with what Tobio did, originally she was trying to find out for herself if Tobio was right as Eiji said. But now... Tobio's actions, which were very impatient and possessive of her, were very different from usual.
Her suspicion of Tobio was increasing.
"Reni, I'm just worried about you. You and Eiji just made a magician contract, no need to stay with him for 24 hours, right? With your magic, you can go back and forth here easily."
What Tobio said was quite reasonable, Lavinia's suspicious expression eased as she felt it was natural for Tobio to worry about her this much. After all, they had known each other for a long time and were in the same group. So there must be concern for each other as friends and teammates.
But at this moment.
{Good! Looks like Reni believes what I'm saying. From the first glance, I already know this boy named Eiji Seiya is not a good person. I don't know what happened, but the protagonist Issei who was supposed to get girls like Rias and the others was never seen. The plot changed a lot, Grayfia even divorced Sirzechs and served other men like Eiji.}
{It's a pity that a woman like Grayfia is following this boy. Right now, that woman is even looking at me very coldly as if ready to attack me anytime if I do anything to Eiji. Tsk! I'm so jealous, how can this boy make a cold woman like Grayfia like him so much that she left her husband!}
{I wish I had come sooner... But put that aside. Heroines from other franchises are fine if they get away from me, but Lavinia is impossible! She's the heroine of my franchise, that beautiful and curvaceous woman can obviously only belong to a protagonist like me!}
Eiji mentally clapped his hands.
Grayfia looked at Tobio strangely.
As for Lavinia? Her face paled slightly, she looked at Tobio in disbelief.
It seemed that what Eiji said was true, the Tobio beside her was not the same Tobio she had first known in the past. Where did it start? Lavinia didn't know, but she knew Tobio had been a little different since she met him at the bar a few days ago. At that time she saw that the way Tobio looked at and treated Azazel had no respect at all, he seemed perfunctory even though he was usually quite respectful of Azazel.
Even Azazel noticed Tobio was a little different from usual, but Lavinia didn't think much of it at the time. Now after hearing the inner voice whose sound clearly belonged to Tobio. Lavinia finally knew, the man standing beside her was the man pretending to be Tobio.
[My guess was right. Tobio's current protagonist is a transmigration protagonist. It's the same type of protagonist as Sakuta's previous protagonist. It's just that unlike Sakuta who was just an ordinary protagonist with no superpowers, this guy is lucky enough to be Tobio's protagonist who has one of Longinus.]
What Eiji said didn't help, Lavinia's head was a little dizzy hearing it. Tobio... Even after knowing all this, Lavinia honestly didn't know what she should do with this fake Tobio. She was sad to know that the real Tobio might have disappeared. But certainly, after this she could no longer treat Tobio as she used to.
Hearing Tobio think of her in such a way, Lavinia felt a little disgusted. It was normal for a man to be attracted to and greedy for a beautiful woman, but to hear firsthand what the man was thinking. There was no way Lavinia didn't have some bad opinions about the other party.
"I understand your concern, Tobio. But you don't have to worry, I can take care of my own problems. It's about my and Eiji-san's contract anyway, so there's no need for others to interfere."
"Uh... O-Okay, Reni. I understand. I'm just worried about you."
"I know, Tobio. So let me talk to Eiji-san."
"...." Tobio didn't know why, the tone Lavinia used on him felt cold. The way she called him was also different, she no longer called him "Tobi", now she just called him "Tobio".
Something is wrong here!
Obviously he had acted well, he was genuinely worried about her even though there was also a sense of possessiveness because he already regarded Lavinia as his own woman.
But!
What's going on?
Seeing the confusion on the protagonist's face, Eiji chuckled which made the man glare at him. He ignored him, looked at Lavinia's beautiful face and said: "What your friend said is not wrong. Reni, you don't need to be with my women for 24 hours."
"That's too much. And as I said before, I'm not in a hurry. I'm not forcing you to stay here, I'm just offering to save you the hassle of going back and forth using teleportation magic or something."
"Thank you for your concern, Eiji-san. But I'm fine going back and forth as long as the deal we made goes smoothly. So sorry, I can't stay here." Lavinia smiled, her tone was also gentle, very different from the cold tone she used on Tobio earlier.
Tobio clenched his fists, he felt very uncomfortable and jealous seeing the contrasting scene before his eyes. But he was relieved that at least Lavinia had actually rejected Eiji's offer.
He became calmer now and looked at Eiji with a mocking gaze.
"You refused? What a pity..." Eiji shook his head as if disappointed, but he didn't look angry and said: "But it's okay, I understand."
"Really?"
"Yes, didn't I say I didn't insist? And about your organization problem too, I'll take care of it as soon as possible. You just need to wait and do your part."
[Actually I was just a little worried about leaving Reni with Tobio. It was fine if it was Tobio in the original work, but now... I don't know what the purpose of this fake Tobio is. I can't push Reni too much either, after all our relationship isn't that close.]
[I could have told Reni that the Tobio beside her is not the Tobio she knows. But would she believe me? If I eliminate the fake Tobio now, Reni will definitely misunderstand and hate me.]
[This is troublesome... At least I have to wait and see if this Tobio protagonist is dangerous or not.]
Lavinia was happy to hear what Eiji said, the boy really didn't push her and was only worried about her. What she heard from his inner voice too...
---
Obviously we just met for the first time, but this boy really cares about me. He could have killed that fake Tobio easily given his power, but he didn't do it out of consideration for my feelings.
---
Lavinia felt warm in her heart, she now really didn't have a bad impression of Eiji. She felt that although the boy was a bastard for having many women and was often rather perverted, he was very kind at heart and cared about others.
He did not regret making a magician contract with such a person.
Looking carefully at the gentle smile on the boy's face as he looked at him too, unlike before, he now felt somewhat dazed.
Thinking of the fake Tobio beside her, she had not yet decided what to do to the other party, but that did not mean she would not do anything. Lavinia thought she should at least look for a way or some magic that could restore the real Tobio to his body.
Maybe there was, she was a witch, so she should try.
After Lavinia and the protagonist Tobio said goodbye and left Eiji's house.
Eiji didn't forget that before Tobio left, he used the "Misfortune Card" on that man without anyone noticing. That man was nice, he hadn't been able to kill him out of consideration, but that didn't mean he couldn't teach him a little lesson, right?
¶{Host, you are so vindictive.}
"I'm just worried that the thing called Misfortune Card in the inventory is rotting from not being used for so long. So why not use it on the protagonist who comes to the door?"
¶{That's a pretty good reason, but all the items stored in the inventory belonging to the system will never rot. Host, just admit the truth, okay?}
"No, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Eiji was too lazy to argue with the system, obviously the other party was also happy when he stuck the card on the protagonist Tobio. Now, on his way back to the organization, Tobio must have had a lot of bad luck. Even though it didn't kill him, Lavinia who was with him at that time must also have been bothered by Tobio's misfortune.
Eiji didn't know what the woman was thinking after finding out Tobio was no longer Tobio, but with that woman's character, she would at least find a way to bring back the original Tobio first. Of course, Eiji was sure that the woman would not succeed because he himself had seen firsthand that in Tobio's body, there was no soul other than the transmigrator's soul. It seemed that the first time the transmigrator seized Tobio's body, the original Tobio's soul was devoured or something like that by the other party so that he inherited all of the original Tobio's memories.
The process of people transmigrating, Eiji was familiar with because he had read many novels on that topic and many of them were indeed true. So that was most likely what happened to Tobio.
For now...
"Grayfia, where are Lala and the others?"
"They're still at school." Grayfia said, looking at him with her beautiful red eyes. She had just cleaned up the glasses she had used for the guests' drinks earlier.
By the way aren't you also supposed to be at school?
Eiji smiled awkwardly, he could somewhat understand what Grayfia was thinking, especially after the other party established a Master-Servant contract with him. He suddenly remembered he used that magic on Irina and Xenovia, that magic would definitely be very helpful in increasing their power. But the two of them were busy practicing breathing techniques right now, so just do it later.
As for school? He skipped school today. The reason was because he wanted to reward Irina and Xenovia, then he didn't expect a certain heroine and protagonist to come to his house.
The last was because of Azazel, the man seemed to be trying to please himself by sending Lavinia to make a magician contract with him. The man did well, he did a good thing without being told to which made Eiji think of a few things about him.
Eiji was confused, what should he do? Is there another plot today?
Ding!
A beeping sound was heard, it was not the system sound, but the sound of someone sending a message to his cell phone.
The message was from Mai.
"Eiji-sama, I'll go grocery shopping out." Grayfia suddenly said.
Eiji nodded at the woman and said, "Okay, go."
After the woman left and left him alone in the living room, he read the message from Mai.
Mai: Eiji, do you have time?
Eiji: Aren't you still at school right now?
Mai: I'm not, it's been three days since I took time off from school because of work. Now I just finished work and went back to my apartment. I was wondering if you could come over to play? Lately I've been learning how to make pizza and plan to make that for dinner.
If asked who were the women who did not live in the same house as Eiji, besides Haruna and Yui, Mai was one of them. Haruna and Yui originally wanted to live in the house like Lala and the others. But both of them had people in their families who were quite fussy if an unmarried girl lived in a man's house. It felt a bit inappropriate. Sometimes the girls could only stay at his house to play like last night once a week.
As for Mai, the girl was more comfortable living in her own apartment. She liked to be alone after work or school. Eiji didn't force the girl to live with him of course.
Eiji smiled, he suddenly thought of the fruit he got from the system. Isn't this the right time?
Eiji: So Rabbit Senpai wants to play with me tonight? He even learned how to make pizza for me.
Mai: So narcissistic as usual! I learned to make pizza just because I wanted to! As expected from my boyfriend. If you don't want to, that's fine! (Emoticon grunt)
Eiji chuckled, he snapped his fingers to change his clothes and even made himself clean as if he just finished showering.
He was deliberately silent and did not reply to the message for at least 1 minute.
Mai: You! Do you really not want to?! Smelly man, reply to my message, otherwise... (Picture of a threatening dog. Jpg)
Eiji: Sorry, Mai. There's a teacher coming to class. So it's hard to reply to your message.
Mai: Huh! Did you think I didn't know you skipped school today? You're obviously at home and playing with some pretty girl over there! What are their names? Irina and Xenovia. Then there's also a new girl named Lavinia!
Eiji: How did you know?! (Shocked emoticon)
Eiji didn't even forget to add his inner voice to make the girl feel happy and proud. He was willing to do this just to cheer up the girl and the other girls who could hear his inner voice.
[I didn't go to school today. But Mai, how would this girl know when she didn't go to school either? Could it be that Lala and the others told her? Even so, about Lavinia, there's no way Lala and the others knew she was coming to my house when they were at school.]
[So how does this bunny girl know? I'm honestly always confused as to why these girls often know things that they shouldn't be able to know.]
[This is weird.]
In a certain apartment.
Mai who had recently finished bathing, got dressed, and lay down on the sofa while playing with her cell phone.
She giggled at Eiji's inner voice.
"Of course you don't know."
"Your inner voice is heard by us anyway."
Mai wasn't really angry, she was actually happy whenever she heard her smelly boyfriend's confusion. She knew this morning the boy had spent such time training the other girls. Irina and Xenovia, she had never met those girls, but she knew they were also heroine.
There was also Lavinia Reni, that woman was also recently mentioned. She roughly knew the woman visited Eiji's house with the protagonist.
Mai actually wasn't too interested in heroine and protagonists from other franchises unless they were her sisters (Eiji's harem members) or Eiji's friends.
Wait does Eiji even have friends other than his girls? Mai suddenly remembered the protagonist named Basara who was mentioned the last few days, could he be called Eiji's friend?
Even though Eiji said so, somehow she still wasn't sure.
But whatever it was.
She started typing the message again with a smile on her pretty face without realizing Eiji was squatting beside the sofa. He was right behind her head and was looking at her who was typing a message with her fingers with a funny look.
Mai: How would I know? Maybe I installed a lot of small cameras in every corner of your house. (Emoticon grin)
"My Senpai Rabbit, I didn't expect you to do such a thing. I wanted to make sure, you're not a yandere girl, right?"
Mai widened her eyes, she naturally jumped to the other side of the sofa and was surprised to see Eiji suddenly already inside her house.
"Eiji!
"Yes it's me."
"Why are you here?!"
"Didn't you send me a message to play at your house and taste your homemade pizza? I came why are you so surprised?"
"How can I not be surprised? You suddenly used your magic trick to get into a girl's house!"
Mai threw a sofa cushion at Eiji's face in annoyance, the boy picked up the cushion she threw and smiled at her.
"Sorry, but I'm your boyfriend, so isn't that okay?"
"At least knock on the door. If I were a yandere girl, I'd tie you up and lock you in the restroom."
Especially with that smile. Why was this smelly man's face so handsome and so nice when he smiled?
Mai's little heart couldn't help but skip a beat at the sight of it.
Ugh! Why was her boyfriend so handsome?! A girl should be happy about this, but Mai was also sometimes overwhelmed by having a boyfriend who was too handsome.
Eiji feigned fear, he stepped back and seemed to be planning to run out.
"Mai, I remember not turning off my bathroom light yet. So I have to..."
"Stop joking around and sit down!" Mai's lips trembled, she honestly wanted to laugh seeing the big man scared. She of course knew Eiji was just pretending to please her, she knew besides being very strong like an anime protagonist, her boyfriend also had a not bad talent for being a comedian.
Eiji shrugged, he sat down as Mai said and he sat right next to the girl while hugging her and kissing her hair.
[Very fragrant. Did this bunny girl just finish bathing? It seems so.]
[Her white t-shirt and short hotpants too. Hey... Why is my girlfriend so pretty?]
Why? Isn't it because I'm a heroine? No, it's because I'm Mai Sakurajima!
Mai originally wanted to pinch Eiji's waist, but heard what the boy said in his heart. She smiled as beautifully as a flower and leaned lazily on his large body.
"If only this man didn't have many women and only had me in his heart..."
"He must be the perfect boyfriend..."
"Ahem! Mai, you seem to have accidentally said what you were thinking." Eiji smiled wryly, sorry for being such a bastard.
Mai rolled her eyes. Of course, she did it on purpose and was glad that at least this guy felt guilty judging by his expression.
"By the way did you hear what I said earlier?" Mai asked while holding back the nervousness in her heart. She didn't know when Eiji came to her house, so she wondered if he heard when she said something about his inner voice?
"What did you say? Which one?" Eiji gave her a confused look.
Mai let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she wanted to keep her secret, it was just that she couldn't even say it if she wanted to. But if Eiji accidentally knew her secret and the girls could hear his inner voice, she was worried that the boy would be upset or at worst angry with her.
"It's okay, do you want to try my homemade pizza now?"
"Now is good too." Eiji smiled, he saw the bunny girl walk into the kitchen and put on a pink apron before starting to cook.
It was such a nice sight that his gaze couldn't help but become soft at the sight of her.
But while beautiful moments like this were taking place, there were always things he had to do that made him sigh.
Fortunately he had beautiful and strong subordinates, so for the things he promised Lavinia, it was better to get Alpha and the other shadows to do them.
..
Somewhere, precisely in New York City located in the United States.
A blonde woman with pointed ears suddenly raised her head slightly as she slashed at a lost soul the size of a building.
With her slender sword, she moved very fast. Her body was enveloped in a blue aura and she performed hundreds of slashes in just seconds.
The lost soul screamed, the woman, Alpha whose face had never smiled since the battle suddenly smiled.
Although the lost soul had a very strong physical defense and was easier to seal or purify with the magic that Eiji had taught her.
With her power, she had no trouble killing a creature like a lost soul with a direct hit.
And that was exactly what she was doing right now.
In less than a minute, the lost soul died under her sword and burst like a balloon.
Landing on the ground silently, she put her sword back into its sheath. With her golden blonde hair still looking neat and her tight black clothes still clean. Alpha looked very cool and sexy.
The place where she fought was actually right on the highway. There were many people passing by there. Unfortunately not only could they not see the lost soul because they were just ordinary people, they also could not see the elven beauty like Alpha standing beside the road because the woman hid her presence with magic.
"That's the 72nd one." Alpha said as another woman who was no less beautiful than her approached her.
"That was fast as usual. I've finished my part too. Where do we go next?"
"Zeta, Eiji-sama just contacted me. He said we have a new target."
The other woman was Zeta, a cat-eared beauty with silver hair whose expressionless face became serious upon hearing Eiji's name mentioned.
"Who is the target this time?"
Alpha who had known each other for a long time with Zeta was used to the woman's cold and serious attitude that surpassed her own. She was still smiling slightly, she was in a good mood after Eiji contacted her and she said: "That's some group of evil witches who often make trouble in this world. They're affiliated with an organization called the Khaos Brigade. I don't know the exact location, but with your abilities..."
"Zeta, can you smell... I mean search for the witches hiding in this town? There might be some of them here."
"...." Zeta knew Alpha had accidentally interpreted her ability to be similar to a dog or cat that was good at finding things.
If she wanted, she could smell everyone in this town. But she limited her nose of course because she didn't want to accidentally smell people who were rotten.
But looking for witches? Zeta's nose twitched slightly, the odor on everyone's body was different, but he already had the experience to distinguish the body odor of ordinary humans, animals, monsters and even witches. He could distinguish odors according to categories and he found them.
Zeta looked back, Alpha also naturally followed where she was looking.
"What a coincidence. Aren't those the people we're looking for? They seem to be robbing a jewelry store."
"....."
