C398 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2024-08-12 13:18:58 +0000 UTC"So the shop you're referring to is a ramen shop?" Utaha asked Eiji who was sitting beside her.
They had just sat down inside the shop. The inside matched the outside appearance which was mostly made of special wood to make the atmosphere all brown, the shop wasn't too big or small. It wasn't too fancy, but before they came, there was a long line of queues by the roadside.
Just from seeing that scene, Utaha knew this ramen shop was popular. There were many customers who were willing to queue up to eat here even though there were other ramen shops around that looked more luxurious.
And the reason why they could sit here without queuing, Utaha felt a little guilty for the people who were now still queuing outside. Eiji was abusing his superpower, he said he only asked those people to let their group cut the queue politely. Those people listened to what was said obediently.
She and the other two girls clearly couldn't believe Eiji didn't use his superpower for that. They didn't know the details but if Eiji had to explain what he did, he activated his Sharingan and spread the effects of his genjutsu through a very gentle release of Reiatsu.
So without having to look at the people's eyes one by one, he only needed to look at one person and the people around him who were basically ordinary people and without superpowers would obey his orders.
This was the same trick Eiji had used to buy Kunou's favorite food in the past.
"Yes, Utaha. Don't you like ramen?"
"It's not that I don't like it. I'm just asking because the front of the shop doesn't mention that it's a ramen shop."
What Utaha said made sense.
Even Eriri who would usually look for Utaha's every mistake agreed with what the girl said and added. "I didn't know it was a ramen shop either before I went in and saw people eating ramen. And this is actually my first time eating ramen in a shop."
Utaha slightly glanced at Eriri... she did not say anything and looked back at her boyfriend. If it was her normally, she would have mocked the blonde girl and said sarcastically. For example "Wow... I remember Sawamura-san is a young lady from a wealthy family. She is a noblewoman, so naturally she has never eaten food in a store like this."
"...." Looking at Utaha who did not say anything to mock her, Eriri felt a little uncomfortable.
But isn't this good? She also did not need to swing her twintail hair like a whip at the girl.
"Ah if it's me, I already know this is a ramen shop from my friend." Miko joined the conversation, she sat next to Eriri. Why not sit next to Eiji? It was because it was impossible!
At least in this situation because the boy was sitting between Eriri and Utaha.
And of the two girls, Miko also chose to sit next to Eriri. Unlike the sexy and voluptuous senior Utaha, Miko felt she was more comfortable sitting next to Eriri.
Both of them were petite though her chest was bigger.
If Eriri knew the reason for Miko sitting next to her, she would definitely take offense.
By the way Miko also joined the date... Eiji called it a meal together to convince the girl who could now see ghosts again. Of course, Eiji had already told the girl that he would think of a solution to solve her problem later.
Miko was happy to hear this, she happily joined the group which initially left Eriri and Utaha speechless. Now Eiji was indulging himself by eating with three beautiful girls.
"That makes sense after all the shop front just says Yamada Shop." After Eiji said that.
"The order is ready."
A man in his thirties who sold the ramen served the three ramen they had ordered on the table. Eiji and the girls naturally glanced at the ramen they each ordered. There were actually not many ramen menus in the shop, only two menus that allowed customers to choose whether they wanted original ramen or spicy ramen.
Eiji and Miko ordered spicy ramen, they happened to be people who both liked spicy food.
Utaha and Eriri ordered the original ramen because they both disliked spicy food. One more thing they had in common but strangely they fought a lot.
They stared at their ramen. Miko's eyes lit up, the other three just nodded mentally because the aroma of the ramen and its appetizing appearance looked good.
"Now I understand why Hana recommended me to try the ramen at this shop." Miko who had sipped her noodles and ramen soup said happily. She mentioned her friend's name, Eiji was not familiar with the girl's name at all.
She was definitely not a heroine.
"This turned out to be very... Not bad."
"Eriri, no need to be tsundere. Just say that this ramen is very good."
"Kasu-, ugh... Alright, it's very good."
Eriri almost exploded just because Utaha called her tsundere, but fortunately she managed to restrain herself just because Eiji was sitting next to her.
She did so while gnashing her teeth.
Utaha found another way to mock the blonde girl. She ate her ramen gracefully even though when Eiji told Leme to eavesdrop on her inner voice...
He heard something that was not surprising.
["Fufufu as long as I don't mock this golden retriever so obviously, even if it's in front of Eiji, I can still make her have an ugly expression and she can't get angry because of that."]
"...." Eiji would pretend not to hear what Utaha was thinking.
As long as the two didn't fight and kill each other, this level of cat and dog was still acceptable.
Still, as he also tasted his ramen which he thought was decent. A girl's voice from the next table was heard.
"Excuse me. A pile of vegetables, garlic, pork fat, and spiciness, please."
"Oh it's you, Ojou-chan? Sure, same as always, right?"
"Un."
"Okay wait a minute!"
The ramen seller seemed to know the girl who had just ordered ramen. He eagerly accepted the girl's order even though it didn't match the presentation in the menu.
But that wasn't important.
What was important was when Eiji glanced at the appearance of the girl at the next table. He was stunned because the other party looked familiar. With a petite body that was almost the same size as Eriri, she also had blonde hair. But unlike Eriri, her long wavy hair was down and her eyes were red like Utaha.
Her skin was very fair and her face was undoubtedly as beautiful as a heroine's. Her figure was slender type but her chest was quite large.
And considering they were now in a ramen shop.
Eiji remembered that the girl was not a heroine. Just like Miko, she was the female protagonist!
[This is quite surprising. When I was eating ramen with Utaha, Eriri and Miko. There was another female protagonist who was also eating ramen here.]
[What is this girl's name? I only know that people in anime often call her Koizumi-san. She is the protagonist of the anime titled "Ramen Daisuki Koizumi-san".]
[Well should I greet her?]
The heroines:
Hearing what Eiji said, they were a little surprised. But that's just it after all how many protagonists and heroines have they heard from that man's inner voice so far?
They couldn't count it properly that there must be too many of them for one more female protagonist not to make them react so much.
The only one that made them react was... Eiji. This guy must have been attracted to the female protagonist because she was pretty!
Utaha, Eriri and Miko who were at the scene naturally stopped their ramen-eating movements. They followed the line of sight of Eiji who was actually peeking at the beautiful girl eating at the next table.
Their lips twitched.
"Eiji, is she pretty?" Utaha pinched the boy's waist.
Eiji pulled back his gaze. He was just curious, okay? It was the female protagonist after all even though she was from a slife of life franchise that was not too serious and not suspenseful.
Still, he wasn't stupid enough to be tempted by another girl while dating the three girls he knew better.
So to deal with Utaha's question—
"She's not prettier than you, Utaha-senpai." He said honestly.
[Not only prettier, my Utaha is also sexier than the female protagonist.]
"Oh? Your tongue is slippery as always." Utaha smiled and nodded in satisfaction. Not because of what Eiji said from his mouth, but his inner voice.
She stopped pinching the boy.
But there was still another girl who was dissatisfied.
"Eiji, she's also a blonde girl like me. Heh... I wonder which one is prettier, her or-"
"Eriri, you're cuter than her."
[Not only cute, Eriri also has beautiful hands.]
Eriri was very weak after receiving double penetration
..double compliments from Eiji, she blushed.
She also just found out that Eiji actually likes her hands hehe~
"Hmph! It's good that you know." Still, as a tsundere, in contrast to her silly heart, on the surface Eriri snorted and continued eating her ramen again.
Eiji shook his head. Fortunately he was a veteran, he knew how to handle these situations well and avoid cliché scenes like getting slapped or abandoned by these girls.
He wouldn't stammer and stupidly get dazed just because of the pretty girl he had just seen. Earlier he had even just looked at Koizumi curiously.
The girl was beautiful but he had seen many beautiful girls of various ages in this world and many of them had joined his harem. Eiji was not so lustful as to see the new female protagonist, he just appreciated her beauty as if she was a wild flower he accidentally saw on the street.
[That's what you're thinking right now, host. But earlier before Utaha asked, you seemed to be thinking of seducing her.]
'Miss System, don't slander your host. When did I think about seducing her? Do you think I'm a guy who can't resist capturing all the heroine, female supporting characters and female protagonists I see?'
[You're not?]
'I'm... I'm not.'
There was an unconvincing pause there!
Miss System rolled her eyes.
[My king, are you sure you don't want to seduce that girl? She might have a Heart Key suitable for unlocking my subordinates.]
Leme joined in the dialog, she was throwing carrot baits and sticks.
She thought with her king's greed it would work but she forgot except for the feature to display the girls' positive level, in her king's eyes King Solomon's so-called power was actually just...
'Leme, I haven't even used the Heart Key I previously received from Lilith and have barely used the divas' powers since the last time I used them in the underworld. They exist only for my collection.'
'So forget it, at most I'll only greet her if there's a chance and the rest depends on what happens.'
When Leme was mentally attacked by her king's answer and Miss System had to send her some snacks to cheer her up.
Eiji continued eating his ramen quietly while occasionally talking with Eriri, Utaha and Miko.
Miko thankfully did not wonder like the other two girls because she was staring at Koizumi. After all unlike the other two girls, she was not Eiji's girlfriend yet. Still, she was somewhat envious of Utaha and Eriri who became Eiji's girlfriends.
There were also other girls in the group chat during this time, Miko actually always watched and listened to things that happened in the group chat. For example the livestream featuring the porn videos of Eiji and certain women, she had also been watching it secretly!
Miko of course knew how big Eiji's sword was and how good his naked figure was which even made her drool while watching it every night in her bedroom.
She wondered if Eiji was interested in her? He had done her as many favors as he did the women who now joined his harem. Miko thought Eiji was also greedy for her body which excited her.
'W-Wait, Eiji-senpai is my Senpai and my benefactor. How can I have dirty thoughts for him?!'
Miko who was sipping noodles couldn't help but blush when thinking this. She almost choked when Eiji suddenly put his hand on her forehead.
"Miko, your face is red. Do you have a fever?"
[Vomit!]
Miss System... I know you don't like hearing beta protagonists who usually misunderstand that the girl whose face is red is running a fever.
But hey I'm acting here. This is a good opportunity to make Miko's heart skip a beat by touching her.
Eiji mentally explained to the woman who was vomiting inside his head. Damn, did she really vomit? You're joking, right?
[I'm joking, host. Please continue.]
Well...
"S-Senpai? I'm fine. I don't have a fever. It's just that the ramen I ate was too spicy." Miko stutteringly said. Her heart was pounding with embarrassment and sweetness.
"...." Utaha and Eriri. They weren't jealous, they just thought this girl named Miko Yotsuya had fallen into Eiji's hands.
And Eiji, you really think that girl has a fever?
As a novelist and a doujinshi artist, they suspected that he was doing it on purpose just to seduce Miko!
What should they do even if they realized it? Nothing.
On the other side, ignoring the four noisy people at the next table. Koizumi enjoyed eating ramen as if it was her life with a very happy face.
"Hnnn~!"
She even groaned just because of the ramen which made the male customers including Eiji glance at her.
The girl didn't care about other people's views at all.
Looking at the little remaining noodles and the thick reddish-gold ramen soup due to the chili oil and lard in her bowl, Koizumi whose white skin was dripping with sweat due to the spicy food she ate began to tie her blonde hair into a ponytail.
This exposed her white nape and made her look sensual.
The scene was erotic, especially every time the girl sipped her ramen soup, her cheeks would turn red and her expression looked like a girl whose insides were pounded by a man's sword.
Even though she was just eating ramen, she made a face full of enjoyment. The male customers feasted their eyes on it.
Normal girls would usually have fear and embarrassment to eat alone in a ramen shop that usually had many men. But Koizumi? Her favorite food was ramen and her greatest source of happiness was eating ramen.
Her goal is to taste every new ramen dish around Japan. Therefore if it's for ramen, she's willing to do anything. Even if she has to stop socializing, have no friends, have no boyfriend even though she is a popular high school student because of her beauty, refuse all confessions from men, and climb mountains!
She's not interested in hooking up with anyone because of her obsession with ramen which makes her worthy of being the protagonist of a ramen anime.
Even so after she finished her ramen, she couldn't help but glance at the next table where there were four people staring at her. Normally she would ignore the gazes of others, but she turned her head because their appearance was unusual.
"...."
There were three girls who were each beautiful and unique, but what intrigued her the most was that the three beautiful girls were sitting with a boy and eating together with him. Although Koizumi had no interest in men because her brain was full of ramen, she even thought that the boy was very handsome.
But that was it, they had nothing to do with her.
"Thank you for the food." She paid for the ramen she had eaten and thanked the ramen vendor uncle who recognized her face.
It wasn't the first time she had eaten ramen at this shop, she had done it several times every time she came home from school.
"Haha don't forget to come again, Ojou-chan!"
Nodding slightly in response, Koizumi immediately picked up her school bag and left the shop.
However, when she had walked two or three meters away from the ramen shop. From behind, she heard a boy's voice calling her.
"Koizumi!"
"Hm?"
Koizumi naturally turned her head only to see the boy she had previously seen at the ramen shop already standing in front of her.
So fast? Was he running? His voice when calling her sounded far away but when she turned away he was already in front of her with a familiar object in his right hand.
"Here, you dropped your wallet after paying at the shop." Eiji handed over the girl's wallet which actually did not fall normally. Cough, there was a magic trick behind the incident that didn't need to be explained.
Koizumi certainly didn't know, she thought she really dropped her wallet and took it from the hands of the boy in front of her.
Except when eating ramen, her face was expressionless as usual but she politely said, "Thank you for returning my wallet."
"You're welcome, be careful next time."
"Un."
Koizumi was ready to turn around and continue on her way home because she thought there was nothing more to say to the boy. After this, they would probably never see each other again.
But—
"By the way take this too. If you're interested, you can come to my company. I happen to be looking for a ramen food tester."
Eiji didn't play according to routine. What he gave Koizumi was his business card.
"Eh?" This was the first time Koizumi was confused by someone to say 'Eh?' and unconsciously took the boy's business card.
Of course she asked. "Why me?"
Eiji smiled and explained. "Of course it's because you really like ramen, right? You've tasted a wide variety of ramen so far and if we're talking about ramen, you're a pro. I'm willing to give you a lot of money for that."
"I..." Koizumi hesitated to answer. She was a high school student, and as for the money she usually used to buy ramen, it all came from her parents.
Hearing that her hobby would be paid a lot of money, she was dumbfounded.
But before Koizumi could answer, Eiji interrupted her and said, "There is no need to rush, you can contact me or come directly to my company if you agree. Although my name is on the business card, I will say it— my name is Eiji Seiya."
"See you soon, Koizumi."
He waved his hand and ran towards the previous ramen shop where there were three beautiful girls waiting for him.
"Wait... Why do you know my name?" Koizumi suddenly realized that the boy named Eiji Seiya already knew her name, even before she introduced herself even though he looked like a high school student from another school. And a boy like that was the boss of a company?
Still, it was too late to ask because Eiji had already gotten away and left with the three pretty girls who had eaten ramen with him earlier.
Koizumi stared at the business card in her hand curiously.
