C133 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2023-11-17 05:31:23 +0000 UTC"Well... Rias, can't we just teleport to your parents' house?"
"No, Eiji. We'll take the transportation."
"Why?"
"Because I want to. My fiancé has never asked me out once, so we can use this opportunity to do so."
"Sorry."
"It's okay, I know you're often busy."
Eiji smiled wryly, feeling guilty and incompetent as the harem protagonist. Except for Lala, so far he had indeed not asked any of the other girls in his harem out on official dates. This was not normal, he knew. After all, to get the girls' hearts, he didn't take the normal approach but rather utilized the plot, inner voice, and buff of the harem halo... There was also slapping the face of the protagonist of the original work so that the girls would rather be with him than with their respective protagonists.
That's manipulative, he's definitely no worse than the evil and hypocritical protagonists in those novels. In addition to the protagonist, he might as well be called a villain, right?
'Ugh.... Damn, I'm starting to feel disgusted with myself.'
¶{Host, hold on. You can't be depressed because of that! You've come this far, better keep going and make those girls happy! Isn't that enough?}
Miss System comforted him properly, usually except about rewards, she always said useless things.
Eiji didn't answer his system, he just let the brightly smiling Rias drag him into the carriage.
It took less than 10 minutes for them to walk from Sona's house to a station while holding hands. As he said before... Wait, what else did he say? Well the level of technology in the underworld is not inferior to the technology in the human world. So here too there are modern trains like the electric trains in Japan but instead of using electricity, these trains seem to be driven by magic and have strange shapes.
It's still long, the number of carriages varies from 15 to 20, but what's with the sharp design that looks a bit like Batman's stuff? Every train has a different color, especially from the magic patterns or magic circles like stickers on the body of the train.
Of the many patterns of trains bearing the symbols of Sitri, Bael, Astaroth, Phenex, etc. that he himself forgot the names of. He and Rias boarded the carriage that had the Gremory Clan logo.
They sat in the first carriage, which seemed to be the executive carriage because Rias had shown her ID to the attendant and the attendant respectfully allowed them to board the first carriage.
[As expected of a young lady of the Gremory Clan. Many people in the underworld knew her and must have treated her specially.]
As if responding to his inner voice, the red-haired girl seemed to remember something.
"I forgot to tell you, but by now many people of the underworld must already know your identity as my fiancée and Sona. There's also the nickname you got after saving the three faction leaders and the people at the Peace Treaty conference. They call you ...."
"What? They didn't give me a weird nickname did they?"
Rias chuckled, oh no... Anyway Rias and him were sitting side by side on the seats facing the movement of the train.
With the modern and fantasy scenery of the city and the underworld flashing through the windows, the train was like its emblem, it was traveling to the station in the Gremory region.
Still on its way, the train had only been running for a few minutes.
But put that aside. Eiji was a bit worried!
[Wait! Do they even know my appearance?]
"Other than your name, and your appearance that was spread by Serafall-sama. Many of them, especially the devils in DevilNet call you the Silver Demon King. Some even call you Lucifer's Third Coming after the original and my brother."
"This... Isn't this too much?"
"Did you forget? When you fought against Diodora, you released enough power to envelop everyone in the underworld."
Leaning her head and fragrant red hair on his shoulder, Rias also took out her cell phone and opened the underworld search engine "DevilNet". Top trending there seemed to be a photo of his handsome self exploding with purple light killing Diodora.
From the shooting point of view, it seemed like the one who took the photo was Serafall.
Eiji only realized this, but saw many comments about him. There were many people who praised him, there were also those who doubted him and couldn't believe a human like him...blah blah blah. Many devils were also arrogant of course, and some were jealous that he became the future son-in-law of the Gremory and Sitri families simultaneously.
While walking and getting into this carriage too, Eiji certainly realized that besides the devils staring at Rias, there were also people staring at him and taking photos of the two of them from a distance.
It felt like being a celebrity, but whatever. Not that he really cared.
Time unconsciously passed quickly as they chatted in the train and the train finally stopped.
The doors automatically opened, Rias and he got out to see the so-called Gremory Clan territory in the underworld.
But before that---
"Princess Rias has a good relationship with her fiancé. I wish you and your fiancé a pleasant journey."
A cool conductor-looking old man appeared, he had the look of a grandfather who was happy to see his granddaughter having a good relationship with her fiancé. This old man seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Rias.
"Eh y-yes, thanks for the ride."
"Ho-ho-ho, is this Eiji Seiya-sama? Please take care of our little princess."
Rias' face flushed, she was not ashamed of sleeping and walking naked in her house, but she was embarrassed to hear this kind of thing.
Eiji looked at the old man who already knew his name and nodded.
"Don't worry. I'm taking good care of her."
"Young man, I believe in you, especially after seeing what you did yesterday."
Seriously, did this guy know? Was his battle with Diodoros broadcast live without him knowing? By the way he felt this old man was familiar...
Taking off his hat, the old man bowed his head to them.
"I'm Reynaldo, conductor of Gremory's private train, nice to meet you."
"Ah... Your name is Reynaldo? Nice to meet you too. Although you already know, I'm Eiji Seiya."
Eiji remembered, this old man had been mentioned in the original work. He was not an important character, just a passing character mentioned in one chapter.
The old man was very friendly, after a short talk in front of the train door, they naturally immediately continued their journey.
"Eiji, what do you think?"
Rias who hugged his arm asked, she was of course asking what he thought about the Gremory region, right? Not about the crimson-haired female devils that were more commonly found on the road.
Although not as beautiful as Rias, many of them were undoubtedly above average beauties, with sensual, voluptuous, slender bodies, and seductive gazes.
[The Gremory Clan's genes are very good. Are these the people of the Gremory Clan?]
Rias pinched her cheek. Oh, are you jealous? Weren't you fine serving me with your two best friends like Sona and Akeno last night?
The red-haired girl clearly noticed his gaze, there was also his inner voice. Eiji pretended to cough before turning his gaze to the buildings around him.
"The scenery here is nice. I feel like I'm walking in a devil-style medieval town that's a bit like in anime."
"Really?!"
Rias' eyes lit up at the mention of anime. As someone who knew the original work, she certainly knew the girl's fondness for Japanese culture including anime.
Eiji smiled, he managed to distract Rias.
"Wait, don't distract me! I know you're paying attention to those women."
Or not?
There was a smell of vinegar, Rias' gaze looked sharp, she was pouting a little because she was glancing at the other girls while with her.
"Rias, I'm just a little interested in seeing people with the same hair color as you. Other than your brother, this is the first time I've seen the others. So I'm a little curious, okay?"
"Really? I think you're tempted by them. In Gremory territory there are many women with good figures."
"They do look good, but compared to you. They are far behind."
[And actually if they are not heroine, even if they are very beautiful, I am too lazy to take action other than staring a little to satisfy my curiosity before losing interest.]
Really? Rias blinked her eyes. Come to think of it, all the girls in Eiji's harem were indeed just heroine. She believed what the man said in his heart, but still...
Although she didn't mind sharing with those heroines because she knew Eiji had a task regarding them that she didn't know the details of.
She wanted to ask the details of course, but this was tantamount to revealing that she could hear his inner voice and that his voice would always be censored by a mysterious force whenever he wanted to do so.
In the end Rias gave up on asking about it, but certainly she objected to Eiji also paying attention to random women on the street, especially when he was with her.
She wouldn't hold back her sour feelings like the other heroine, she was jealous! If she could, she even wanted to monopolize Eiji alone, but it was a pity because she knew it was impossible.
After all, last night she, Sona, and Akeno actually had fun serving Eiji together.
If it was girls she knew, Rias also felt less jealous and was fine sharing the man with them.
If it was still the heroine, okay she could still hold back her jealousy from exploding.
Besides Sona and Akeno, there were Lala, Yui, Run, Asia, and a few other girls she only knew by name but had yet to meet them in person.
But put that aside.
She looked at Eiji whose hand she held tightly with pride.
"So does that mean I'm prettier than them?"
"You're still asking?"
"So does that mean I'm prettier than them?"
"Yeah. You're prettier than them. My fiancée, Rias Gremory is so beautiful that it's hard for me to flirt with other redheads!"
Eiji spit out the sweet words mixed with sugar. Otherwise, he knew this girl would keep repeating the same question.
But of course what he said was true, he wouldn't waste time with other red-haired or crimson beauties.... As long as they were not heroine of course.
Even so Rias looked happy after hearing this, the corners of her lips raised, her smile looking very sweet.
As she walked while hugging his hand, she scattered dog food that made the devils on the street, be it male or female, feel sour.
But they recognized Rias' identity and even Eiji, they too seemed happy for her.
In the Gremory region, Rias was practically a princess like Lala who was also a princess on the planet Deviluke. The people there naturally flattered and respected her.
On the way, Rias also explained things about her family's territory that since they were still on the train where it had been running for a few minutes. A view of mountains, rivers, trees, cities and oddly-shaped houses....
That area was already Gremory territory.
To be precise, the Gremory family owned 132,323 square kilometers of land.
In the human world, this size already exceeds Hokkaido, which is the largest prefecture in Japan.
If it wasn't for the fact that the train they were traveling on earlier had the ability to create dimensional passages to shorten the distance to less than half an hour.
It would have taken much longer for them to get to the heart of the Gremory region where the royal-like castle that was the home of Rias and her family was visible in front of them.
"Eiji, let's go inside. My mom and dad must be waiting."
Looking at the gate and the castle in front of him which was slightly larger than Sona's parents' house, Eiji certainly couldn't refuse, right?
"Okay, I can't wait to meet your parents either."
Eiji was excited, but Rias seemed to be able to see the real reason why the man was excited.
"Right, Grayfia and Onii-sama also live here."
"Um... Rias, I think you misunderstood. I didn't come here for that."
[Do you think I came to pick up your brother's wife? I purely came to visit my future in-laws.]
You didn't come for that either? Rias couldn't believe it... Sometimes she knew this man also liked to lie to himself in his heart.
It made her recall her worries about what was happening in the near future.
'Onii-sama... I hope you don't fall out with Eiji even though I know it's impossible because in this case...'
...
"Eiji-sama, from today I, Grayfia Licifuge swear allegiance to you and serve you as your personal servant."
"This..."
Eh?
Looking at Grayfia who pinched her maid's skirt gracefully at Eiji and swore allegiance.
Rias felt that something was wrong with this world. After introducing Eiji to her parents and meeting Grayfia and her brother.
Her parents and even her brother were busy chatting with Eiji, they talked about some things that made her face hot with embarrassment.
But that wasn't the point, the point was that the scene she was thinking and worrying about didn't happen. That was good, but her brother now seemed to pat Eiji's shoulder kindly as he saw what his wife was doing.
He didn't look angry or even resentful towards Eiji for that.
Eh?
Her father and mother also didn't look surprised to see this.
Seriously, you guys don't have a problem with this either?
Rias felt her worldview being shaken.
Actually not only Rias, even Eiji was also confused what was wrong with this people?
"Eiji, I already know the agreement you had with Grayfia before reviving me. I agree with this, I hope you treat Grayfia well."
"No, Sirzechs... Brother-in-law, sorry, what are you saying? Are you crazy?"
Eiji really couldn't resist calling the red-haired man crazy because of what he said.
Sirzechs was fine wearing a green hat?
Originally he thought Sirzechs would at least be secretly dissatisfied with him, oppose him, or something. At that time he would also pretend not to be pushy, but the current scene left him shocked.
"Hahaha. No, I'm not crazy." Sirzechs laughed and said, "From the beginning, Grayfia and I got married because of political matters. Although I love her, unfortunately after being married for so long she only respects me as her master."
"She likes me, not loves me. She is more like indebted to me because I saved her by marrying her in the past."
Grayfia seemed to feel guilty hearing this and said, "Sirzechs-sama, I'm sorry."
"It's fine, Grayfia. We've talked about it before. Besides the deal you made with Eiji, you also don't seem to mind being his person."
So you guys have talked about this before? Even so Eiji was confused and couldn't help but babble using his inner voice.
[This plot is wrong. I don't know how Grayfia convinced Sirzechs, but this setting is also different from what I remember in the original work.]
[That boy named Milicas doesn't exist in this world either. The only one who is the same is Sirzechs, this man has no problem giving up his wife to another man! In the original work, he let Grayfia serve the protagonist in the bathroom... Well forget that.]
[What is certain is that this is okay? And Grayfia, actually since when did I agree to this deal before? Previously I saved Sirzechs because he was my future brother-in-law, you really don't need to do this hey.]
You said that but I remember you made a difficult expression when asked to revive Sirzechs until Serafall and I made an offer. By the way who was that Milicas boy until you mentioned it?
In this world Grayfia and Sirzechs never did that even though they have been married for many years.
So it's natural that she doesn't know.
Grayfia: "...."
The silver-haired woman gave him a doubtful and slightly disappointed look, but she did not withdraw what she said and waited for his reply.
Grayfia, seriously? Not that Eiji was narcissistic, but did this woman really like him after all the tricks he had pulled on her so far?
"Fufu, Eiji-kun. My son is fine, why don't you accept Grayfia?"
This elegant and very seductive sounding voice belonged to Rias' mother, Vanelana Gremory whom he had recently met for the first time.
A face similar to Rias, but exuding the temperament of a Milf instead of an Onee-san. Not only that, she also had waist-length brown hair and beautiful violet eyes. Her figure under the white dress with brown accents was just as voluptuous as Rias, with D-Cup breasts, a perfectly round ass like a ball, and a slender waist that was good for bearing children...
Cough, the other party is her beautiful and lovely future mother-in-law.
¶{Catch her, host!}
'Miss System, don't be an immoral system. How can you tell me to take someone else's wife?'
¶{What about Grayfia? Isn't she someone else's wife?}
'... There are special circumstances for that, so it's an exception.'
¶{As expected of you, host.}
Is that a compliment? Whatever...
"Mother-in-law, what do you think?"
Eiji looked at the brown-haired woman strangely. I mean your son gave his wife to me literally. You're okay with your son having a green hat?
Eiji wouldn't say this directly of course, but the meaning is clear, right? You have to understand this rather wrong situation.
Mother-in-law, please have some common sense.
At least create a little tension.
"I don't mind. That's my son and Grayfia's problem. Actually, I've known for a long time what their relationship is like."
"It's not good to force such a relationship for so long. If they're fine splitting up why not? With your power, Eiji-kun. It won't be a problem if Sirzechs divorces Grayfia and the women become yours."
What do you mean? Isn't this too beautiful? Eiji suspected it was so easy because of his halo harem, but there was no way. That thing so far had no sense of existence at all.
He still has trouble dealing with heroines like Yukino, Shizuka, and Nana.
Even so Eiji knew there was a certain reason why Grayfia married Sirzechs in the first place when she didn't even love that man.
He didn't want to bother remembering it, it wasn't important for now anyway.
Looking at this magnificent living room containing six people.
His gaze fell on Rias' father, Zeoticus Gremory who also had long crimson hair like Sirzechs but a beard.
He was handsome, and young like Vanelana. As devils, age did not make them look so old. Vanelana looks like a woman in her twenties while Zeoticus looks like a man in his thirties.
That man also didn't seem to have any problems with his future son-in-law, he seemed to support him and Rias.
Especially after learning he had revived his son. Not only Zeoticus, Venelana was also very grateful to him for that. Perhaps it was also because of this that they didn't really mind the situation their son was in?
"Eiji-kun, I heard you have a harem. Rias's best friend Sona is also one of your women. So adding one more shouldn't be a problem for you."
Father-in-law also said that, Eiji is actually not that complicated. He just wants to acting a little to maintain his image and...
[Rias, you see that? It's not my fault, okay? Your parents and brother pushed Grayfia on me!]
Rias who was watching from earlier didn't know whether she should be happy or sad. No, she should at least be happy that her brother wasn't at odds with Eiji, right?
Her brother also seemed sincere, so this situation wasn't so bad.
Although Eiji sounded shameless, he glanced at Grayfia and wondered what she was thinking? Is it true that she didn't love her older brother all this time?
What did her brother and mother say about Grayfia.
This was the first time she heard it!
