C119 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2023-11-03 07:47:47 +0000 UTCAfter dinner.
While lying in bed, Eiji fiddled with his cell phone and called someone.
[Eiji-kun?]
This soft, pleasant-sounding voice belonged to Ai.
"Ai, what are you doing?"
[I was just resting.]
"At home?"
[At agency.]
"At this hour?"
Eiji looked at the clock on his cell phone showing that it was already 20:50.
The life of an idol was hard enough... Just like when he offered to help Run, he could also help Ai's career to be easier for her.
Eiji could bribe the boss of the agency Ai worked for or directly give the girl money so she wouldn't have to work so hard.
But considering a heroine like Run refused even the shortcuts he could provide, what about Ai? With that girl's personality, he was sure she wouldn't accept his help easily either.
[Un, for the next concert. The other girls and I are practicing new dance.]
Ai's voice sounded tired, yet at the same time excited. Good girl, you're very hardworking.
Eiji smiled.
"Am I disturbing you?"
[No! Ah right, did you call me for a dinner appointment? Sorry! Now I...]
Ai panicked, her panicked idol voice sounded cute. Eiji wondered how her moaning sounded? Cough, what was I thinking.
"It's not that. Take it easy, you don't have to rush about our appointment. I actually called you for something else. I wanted to ask you a little favor."
[Of course! Eiji-kun! You can ask me for any favor! As long as I can, I'll definitely try to help you!]
Alright calm down... Don't say something like "ask for anything" so easily. Gosh, this girl... If I asked you to dance naked in front of me, would you be willing? Do it?
You said you were resting after dance practice. Now that you must be sweating, it would definitely be a good sight if you danced naked.
¶{Host, host, please calm yourself! Watch your image!}
'...It was just a joke.'
¶{Really? }
'... Yes.'
The pause sounded unconvincing.
That must be her host's deepest wish!
[Eiji-kun, are you still there?]
"Cough, I'm here. Sorry, there was bird noise earlier."
[You keep birds? At night, the birds are noisy?]
"No, forget it. When do you have free time? At least for one day?"
[Hm... Weekends I'll have free time for a few days.]
"That's great! I have someone who wants to meet you. Can you introduce yourself to her later? She's also one of your fans and is interested in becoming an idol."
[Eh! Who? Is it someone in your family or your friend, Eiji-kun?]
"Yes...she can be considered my family."
It's actually one of my girlfriends. Should I say that? The person Eiji is referring to is of course Run.
Because Ai could only hear the inner voice of server 1 yesterday after Miss System updated. That girl must not know he has many women.
Although he wasn't worried about his bastard personality being exposed, but it was better to let Ai know this naturally after she met and chatted with Run.
As the saying went that he himself could not remember where he knew it from. The saying goes that to prevent a backyard fire, you have to get the people living there to know each other first and have a good relationship before you drop the bomb.
With that, the worst possibility can be avoided 80% and you don't have to worry about a fire.
[Okay then! Let me know where we can meet on the weekend. Your family... That girl is interested in becoming an idol? Although I'm still a beginner too, I'll definitely teach her some things.]
You said you're a beginner? Who is the most popular idol these days, please. Besides being beautiful, Ai is also a very humble girl.
Eiji thought it was very good that he had eliminated a bastard like Hikaru Kamiki from this world. In his original work, if it wasn't for that crazy person who killed his own ex-girlfriend. Ai's career in the idol industry would have reached new heights. Not only was limited to the most popular idols in Japan, but the girl could also become an international idol.
With her talent and beauty, he believed it was not impossible for Ai to do so.
"Thank you Ai. That's all, I don't want to disturb your training time."
[You are not disturbing...]
Ai seemed to still want to chat more with him, but the girls' voices in the background urged her to practice some more before going home.
They were saying things about choreography.
"Your friends are waiting for you. Good night Ai."
[Ugh... Good night, Eiji-kun.]
Hanging up the phone after hearing Ai's reluctance, Eiji felt that he could have sweet dreams tonight.
By the way, I just remembered that I haven't checked my reward today.
"Miss System."
¶{Ding! It was detected that the host had changed the plot in the [Oregairu] franchise.}
¶{Successfully changed the plot of [Oregairu] by 6% by joining the Service Club and slightly affected the way Heroine Shizuka and Yukinoshita view Protagonist Hachiman.}
¶{Ding! Congratulations host, you gained a god-level drawing skill.}
"Why did you give me a useless skill like this..."
Eiji complained, but if people in the painting industry like Mangaka heard this they would probably vomit blood.
¶{Hey it's random, okay?}
"How many times are you going to say this? After coming this far, do you think I'll believe it?"
¶{Oh come on. Host, you can use this skill to seduce a heroine who is good at drawing and slap her face with your drawing skills so that she falls in love with you.}
"And who is that heroine?"
¶{Who knows~}
Eiji rolled his eyes. This woman is pretending to be mysterious, damn it. Speaking of drawing skills, actually his drawing skills from his previous life weren't bad either.
However, who made the system so cheating? I feel like this system is desperate to raise all my parameters to the highest level just to do something stupid.
...
The next day.
"Guys! Take the tables and chairs out into the hallway! Be careful not to get hurt!"
As the class president, Kotegawa Yui went to the front of the classroom and gave instructions while clapping her hands, crackling sounds began to be heard from inside the classroom.
It was the sound of students moving quickly to simulate an earthquake evacuation. Japanese schools sometimes do random things like this in case a real earthquake happens while students are at school.
The students looked panicked at first glance, but they were actually faking it to get good grades from the teacher. Eiji helped them quietly move the desks and chairs into the hallway, actually this was done to create a little obstacle for the students who wanted to escape outside.
How stupid. If you guys want, I can create a real earthquake at school to make this situation more fun. Other than their class, other classes were actually doing the same thing.
At this moment, every hallway of the school had many students running around and they seemed desperate to run out of the school building.
"How boring, why not make a real earthquake instead of doing this stupid thing?"
Not just me, even the protagonist Rito who had enough superpowers to make a small earthquake complained. The boy also helped lift desks and other random items from the school warehouse to be placed randomly in the hallway.
You said that, but you still did it, right? Even though we have superpowers, we still pretend to be normal high school students at school.
"Rito, stop complaining. You're blocking the way, get out of the way."
Eiji bumped the boy's shoulder while carrying the table in his hand. Rito staggered slightly to the side and screamed.
"You...! Eiji, what do you mean?"
"I said stop complaining and do as instructed by Yui, ah I mean my girlfriend."
"Bastard..."
Did the last one need to be said? Not really, but it was nice to see Rito's expression turn a little ugly when he called Yui his girlfriend.
Eiji was happy to see the protagonist's ugly expression, yet he was disappointed that Rito didn't explode, he just grunted and chose to ignore him.
{Hmph! Eiji, do you think I don't know you're provoking me on purpose? I won't be fooled! So what's with Yui and all that bitch? Women only affect my speed, I don't care!}
Wow... Are you really the protagonist of the harem? You mentioned it yourself and you made those girls unhappy by calling them bitches.
Yui glared at Rito. Lala, Run, Asia and the others also silently sent offended looks at the boy.
Rito certainly felt these stares, he was confused and looked a bit sad. But he persisted, and looked smug with "Women only affect my speed".
Eiji shook his head. It seemed that he had to think of another method to deal with the protagonist Rito. If not for caring about Mikan, Rito's younger sister. He must have made the Gluttony Ring devour Rito.
Thinking about the Gluttony Ring. Eiji suddenly remembered the items he had gotten from the protagonist Issei.
Just now he wanted to check something, but in the hallway while the students were busy doing the earthquake evacuation scene with running and jumpingI obstacles.
"Get out of the way...! Get out of the way...! Ah...!"
A blonde girl seemed to be too excited to do the earthquake evacuation simulation, she ran, making her two ponytails flutter in the wind and was about to crash into him with a panicked expression as she had trouble braking.
If it was another guy or a protagonist like Tomoya, they would definitely freeze or try to catch the girl.
But Eiji? He's...
Thud-!
"Why don't you catch me?! Are you still a man...?!"
The blonde girl shouted miserably while holding her forehead which was slightly reddened from hitting the floor.
Her blue eyes were slightly wet and glared at him in annoyance.
Eiji glanced at the girl indifferently.
[Yesterday Utaha, now I'm also meeting another heroine from the same franchise as that girl.]
[Troublesome... This girl, if I'm not mistaken she's a childhood friend type heroine. She's Tomoya's childhood friend and her name is...]
[Eriri Sawamura Spencer.]
[This girl is also a losing dog like Utaha.]
"Believe it or not I'm a man. Do you want to check it out? Mine is bigger than average."
Eiji shrugged, he didn't even bother extending his hand to help the girl up. Why? Eriri's appearance was undoubtedly very beautiful as one of the heroine.
She had straight blonde hair tied into twin tails with ribbons, pale white skin and light blue eyes inherited from her parents. She had slender body proportions and rather long legs with a slight minus in the small breasts.
However, unlike Shizuka or Yukino who he was attracted to and didn't mind wasting time on them.
Eriri Sawamura Spencer was no worse than girls like Nana.
"W-What are you saying? You pervert! Stay away from me!"
Eriri hurriedly stood up, hugging her disappointingly flat chest while glaring at the silver-haired boy in front of her with small fangs in her mouth. She was surprised that of all people she almost bumped into Eiji, the boy whose inner voice she could hear all along.
Knowing she was one of the heroine, she was actually not too surprised because ever since Utaha and her childhood friend Tomoya were mentioned in the inner voice, she already suspected that she was also one of the heroine.
It's just that she didn't expect the current situation to happen.
Upset, how dare this boy call her losing dog!
He didn't even bother to help a pretty girl like her who fell before his eyes.
So this is Eiji Seiya? I'm pretty sure he's treated many heroine gently so far.
Except Utaha, Shizuka-sensei, and that girl named Yukino.
But what's with that indifferent gaze and disinterested expression?
Hey, I'm definitely not less beautiful than the other heroine! Especially from that cow-like Kasumigaoka Utaha!
Is it because of the size of my chest? Hmph! All men are the same, they're crazy about fat!
Eiji didn't know Eriri's brain activity, he didn't bother trying to guess. This girl is not my type. I also slightly understand why the protagonist Tomoya didn't choose this girl as his girlfriend in the original work.
In short Eriri is too troublesome, she also has tsundere attributes with violent tendencies that may be a little lower than Nana's but basically equally gives people a headache.
Eiji was too lazy think hard to conquer a heroine like this.
[Protagonist! Where's protagonist Tomoya? Come and take this childhood friend of yours away...she's a troublesome girl.]
[Eriri, are you calling me a pervert? I don't want to hear that from the mouth of a famous doujinshi artist who likes to draw R18+ adult illustrations! with various genre tags!]
[Especially the netorare genre!]
[Her family and even her friends at school don't know except the protagonist Tomoya. Eriri, one of the prettiest girls in school is actually a secret illustrator of a famous doujinshi circle called "Egoistic Lily" under the pseudonym Eri Kashiwagi!]
[Aren't you embarrassed? Hey aren't you ashamed of calling me a pervert? Hehe! Eri Sensei..! You're amazing!]
"Gugh-! No way! How could you..."
Eriri's face immediately paled at this, she was now looking at Eiji with fear in her eyes.
That man knew her secret!
Wait, she already knew that man knew about the plot, he even knew a lot about Kasumigaoka Utaha and Tomoya because he had watched their anime called "Saekano"!
So it made sense that she, as one of the heroine of that anime also had no secrets in Eiji's eyes?
It's over!
Eriri's shoulders were shaking, she seemed to have offended Eiji and wondered if the boy would threaten her with her secret?
For example... For example... She would be blackmailed using her secret and made to do lewd things.
If I had realized this earlier, I would have been polite to the other party and not gotten angry just because she didn't help me when I fell.
Seeing the faint smile on the handsome boy's face, Eriri felt that smile was frightening.
Surprisingly her heart was pounding and without realizing it her face was flushed because she was a little excited.
'No, no... How can I feel a little excited because Eiji might blackmail me with my secret?!'
'Eriri, Eriri, what are you thinking!'
Seeing Eriri shook her head, and made her twin-tailed hair swing like a whip that almost slapped his face.
Eiji frowned, damn this girl is crazy! She's using her hair as weapon!
Anyway I've been raving a lot about that girl in my heart, I've already bagged one reward. There's no need for me to keep wasting time with her.
"I don't know what you're talking about. You seem to be doing well, that's good. Goodbye."
He continued running out of the school building, and passed the girl with a slight nod. However, somehow the girl looked very frightened and her slender arms moved to catch his shoulders.
"Wait!"
[I feel like this scene is familiar... Damn it! You romcom heroines really don't care about breaking the taboo of touching men other than the protagonist, right? Utaha has done it! And you did it too!]
[I feel a little sorry for your childhood friend, protagonist Tomoya, he was already green before and now he's getting greener.]
"What else?"
Eiji raised his original and looked at Eriri with a displeased expression on his face.
Eriri who heard Eiji's inner voice and expression, she wanted to explode, especially when she heard the boy mocking her childhood friend.
Actually ever since Eiji first met Tomoya that day, she had disliked that boy. That afternoon, she saw Tomoya presiding over the club meeting with a miserable expression after seeing Utaha wasn't in the meeting. The two seemed to be having an argument.
Although Eriri disliked Utaha because she felt that the girl was a vixen who chased Tomoya. She knew the girl's existence was quite important to Tomoya which made her jealous because she actually also had feelings for her childhood friend which she never admitted because she a tsundere.
Eriri knew the split between Tomoya and Utaha was caused by both of them meeting Eiji.
That boy, she knew Eiji didn't know others could hear his inner voice. He didn't realize his inner voice made the heroine and protagonist's relationship broken, but it didn't make her feel Eiji was innocent.
Eriri blamed Eiji for that!
But knowing that boy also actually knew her secret. She held back her dissatisfaction with that boy because she was afraid the other party would threaten her.
Seeing the displeased look on Eiji's face as she stopped him, she quickly removed her hand from the boy's shoulder and nervously said...
"Sorry."
"Oh? Why are you apologizing?"
"That... I... Earlier... Scolded you. I know it wasn't your fault."
"Heh... Eriri Sawamura Spencer, right?"
"Un, me."
"You're not curious why I know your name?"
"I... No, I also know your name is Eiji Seiya. You're also a second year student just like me."
Eiji tilted his head slightly, he squinted his eyes and looked at Eriri's appearance from bottom to top.
Eriri who saw his movements was trembling like a rabbit being stared at by a wolf, she brought her thighs clad in black stockings together and looked very humble compared to before.
Seeing the girl who was previously very arrogant suddenly being humble to him. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, he knew she must be worried that he would blackmail her with her secrets, right?
In the original work, except for the protagonist Tomoya and girls like Utaha in Blessing Software. No one knew Eriri's secret as a Doujinshi Artist... Oh there was her family who later found out, but that was fine for Eriri because she wasn't worried about her secret being leaked by those people.
But what about other people like him who knew her secret? Eriri was afraid, she was very afraid of her secret being leaked because it would affect her image at school. That girl really cared about her image at school. Otherwise, she wouldn't pretend not to know a famous otaku in school like Aki Tomoya even though they actually had a childhood friend relationship.
Eiji wondered what he should do? Try scaring the girl using her secret? That would definitely be funny, especially when looking at the humiliated expression on her face.
Unfortunately he wasn't interested in doing that to Eriri.
"Okay I accept your apology. Is that enough?"
"Uh but..."
Eriri could not believe what she was hearing. That's all? She couldn't believe it! She was just worried that the boy would do something with her secret! Seeing Eiji was about to leave again, she reached out her hand again, this time she held his hand.
"Sawamura-san, what are you doing?"
It wasn't Eiji who said that, but the voice of the girl from the other side who saw the two of them.
Whether it was an illusion or not, they heard a slight barb from her charming voice.
Seeing who the girl was, Eriri was dumbfounded and her expression immediately changed like a cat meeting a dog.
As for Eiji? He sighed, looking around as if searching for someone.
[This kind of troublesome thing should only happen to the protagonist. Protagonist Tomoya, you're useless... Aren't we having a simulation? Why do these girls seem to want to keep me here!]
