C109 - Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice
🕑 Added 2023-10-24 05:38:05 +0000 UTCUtaha Kasumigaoka.
She is a young up-and-coming novelist and a 3C student who has a secret identity as a writer.
Not long ago when most students were busy with the Sports Festival, she did not participate in the event and preferred to utilize this time to sit quietly in her classroom while writing her novel entitled "Koisuru Metronome" or in English it could be called "The Metronome in Love".
From the title alone, one can tell that it's an urban romance novel.
And so far the novel has sold over 500,000 copies!
In the past two months, Utaha has completed two volumes of the novel and she is currently writing the third volume.
She is so excited about it that she is sleep-deprived this week, especially as the sales of her novel continue to increase day by day.
However, when she had just returned from the school's printer room with a stack of drafts of her novel that she planned to review herself before she sent it to her editor, Sonoko.
As she was on her way back to her class, she bumped into a junior on the school stairs.
The boy is handsome with silver hair and blue eyes like the protagonist in an anime.
In her school there are many unique people with various hair and eye colors, including herself who has red eyes.
But the boy with silver hair and blue eyes was the first time she had seen him.
She was stunned for a moment as she looked at the boy's face because he was too handsome, right? But that was it, she wasn't a girl who would fall in love instantly just because of a face and she thanked that silver-haired boy for helping her collect her draft novels that were scattered on the floor.
If it was any other boy but the boy she liked, she would have no interest in getting to know the other party and would have ended their interaction right then and there.
But somehow, she was quite interested in getting to know the silver-haired boy and asked which class he was from? However, unlike her, the boy did not seem interested in her and found her troublesome.
She clearly saw the boy sigh instead of answering her question!
That junior had no idea how many boys in the school would want to scramble to replace him in this situation.
However, her shock did not stop there as she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her head.
It had actually been 2 months since she could hear these voices in her head, she had heard a lot of crazy things coming from those voices such as the existence of the protagonist and the heroines in her school.
She didn't believe it at first and sometimes she got some plot ideas for her own novels from the voices. Although the voices were noisy at first and annoyed her because they often interrupted her while she was writing her novel, but now she was used to it.
It didn't bother her much anymore until the voice in her head mentioned things about her being the heroine. She was surprised to hear this, but it was still unfinished because she was actually the defeated heroine in the anime!
Already gave the first kiss and spent the night in the hotel with the protagonist and in the end the protagonist chose another girl as his girlfriend!
And that protagonist's name, she of course knew and it was actually the boy she had a crush on right now, Rinri-kun! The things that the voice in her head said were even true that she joined the group created by him.
Actually it was a group called "Blessing Software" that aimed to produce visual novels and a week ago she was invited by Rinri-kun to be a screenwriter in the group.
If it was an invitation from someone else, she would refuse to join such a group because it would definitely interfere with her productivity as a novelist.
And it was true that it bothered her quite a bit too this week, but because the person who invited her was Rinri-kun, the junior who was actually secretly likes of because that boy was the one who helped promote her novel on his personal website.
She didn't refuse his invitation and agreed to help him create a visual novel with two other girls who of course she knew both of them were also heroine.
But putting that aside, things like the kiss and the hotel stay with Rinri-kun did not happen at all, but there were other things that happened that were enough to prove that the voices inside her head were indeed telling the truth.
This meant that in the future, if she continued licking Rinri-kun like now, she would be loss by the most inconspicuous girl in the group, she could guess who that girl was.
It was just that knowing what Rinri-kun was like in her original work, she felt a little sad and even disappointed that even after she gave the other party that much, she was still rejected? It made her think again about her feelings for that boy.
By the way she was also a little upset that the boy in front of her was secretly mocking her, he called her a losing dog and a girl with brain problems
Who's the loser? I haven't even gotten that far!
Who has brain problems? I'm a novelist whose novels have sold over 500,000 copies!
And what's with the disgusted tone? You're really disgusted by a pretty girl like me?!
After hearing that voice which seemed to be an inner voice because the boy didn't open his mouth when his voice was heard.
Utaha of course knows who the boy is.
"I'm a second-year student. I will leave now, Senpai." The boy said briefly, without introducing his name at all and turned his body around. He seemed to be in a hurry as if he wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Utaha's lips twitched. This boy... He's really avoiding her, right? She snorted and extended one of her hands to hold the boy's shoulder.
"Wait!"
[What's wrong again? Is this girl still not satisfied after I apologized and helped her? As expected of a heroine who is crazy about the protagonist. Except for the protagonist and her parents, she is so vindictive towards other men].
Eiji was done with this heroine, the things he said were purely to make the girl dislike him. So the other party wouldn't be interested in him and wouldn't give him any trouble so he could get away with it and claim the reward from his system, right?
But what happened here? According to Utaha's personality, he originally thought the girl would have doubts about the protagonist which made the plot change and she also didn't want to bother with him anymore.
But what happened here and now? I'm clearly trying to get this heroine away from me! Why is she stopping me and breaking the Anime Romcom taboo of touching men other than the protagonist?!
Utaha, you greened the protagonist!
"Senpai, I have other things to do. So I can't stay here for long."
"Oh? Aren't you free? You even took a stroll to the third-year student building when the others were busy participating in the Sports Festival. Eiji Seiya, Seiya-kun, can I call you that?"
Utaha smiled slightly, her slender hand still gripping the boy's shoulder as if preventing him from running away.
That boy seemed to have a misconception about her, and she somehow felt uncomfortable and wanted the other party to know that she was not the girl he thought she was.
Eiji widened his eyes slightly. "How do you know my name?"
[Wait a minute! I know! I just forgot that...]
The girl obviously knew his name because she had long heard his inner voice which he would not express of course.
However, Utaha thought Eiji didn't know she could hear his inner voice based on the reaction on his face so far and she wasn't planning on telling the other party that she could hear his inner voice.
With her novelist brain, she quickly came up with a plausible reason.
"Who doesn't know Eiji Seiya, the second year student at this school who is famous for being the number one playboy?"
[Playboy? Me? Hey I'm definitely not that kind of person! Although I have many women, I don't like to throw away the old ones and replace them with new ones. I keep them all and take good care of them all!]
Utaha rolled her eyes, she certainly knew what kind of person Eiji was after hearing his inner voice all this time. What his heart said was true, she even knew those girls were the heroines who had previously been hunted down by the perverted protagonist and Eiji saved them all.
In the end Eiji made the heroines fall in love with him and become his harem.
If this is a novel, Eiji is the fanfic protagonist that exists in the real world.
Wait, is this also the real world? Utaha didn't want to think about it, for sure she knew she was a living person, it was just that she had a plot with the protagonist because she was the heroine.
"...." Eiji didn't know what to say from his mouth. Should he refute what Utaha said? No, it's better to agree with her so that she loses interest in him!
With a somewhat narcissistic smile, he turned around, held a slender hand on his shoulder and looked at the beautiful senior in front of him.
"I'm quite flattered that a beautiful senior like the famous Utaha Kasumigaoka Senpai in the third year knows me. That's right, I'm a playboy, I like beautiful girls like you."
"Looking at you again now, I just realized how beautiful you are, Utaha Senpai. I wonder if you have a boyfriend?"
[The playboy line I used to see in novels in my previous life! I can't believe I actually said it! But this is good, with this Utaha must feel a bit disgusted with me, right? Maybe even angry that I dared to touch her soft hands that the protagonist has never touched at all!]
[Come on! Utaha, you must be angry. Slap my hand and kick me out because I don't want to stay with you any longer either! I'm done here damn it! My harem is full! I refrain from provoking heroines like you!]
However, instead of reacting as he expected, Utaha blushed, her previously rather sardonic face taking on a blush.
He did not even slap her hand and let him continue to hold it.
[This is wrong! Why are you blushing! Don't you like protagonists? Aren't you worried that if your Rinri-kun sees this, he'll feel green and date another girl in his group faster than the original work? Girl, I'm warning you for your own sake, I'm not a nice guy!]
Eiji really didn't understand what this girl was thinking.
He felt like Utaha's character collapse.
If it was him before, he would be excited in this situation.
But now? I tried to make this girl dislike me but the opposite happened!
¶{Pfft! Ahahaha host!}
'Miss System, damn it. Don't laugh! You did something to Utaha, right? That girl isn't right!'
Eiji scolded the woman inside his head.
¶{Host, other than doing my usual inner voice work. I swear I didn't do anything to influence the heroine!}
'Really?
¶{Yes! Isn't that you? You and your inner voice did it.}
'What? But I definitely mocked her in my heart, and said bad things about her. I even deliberately told her my situation, and scared her with the protagonist so that she would really stay away from me.'
'However, what happened instead...'
Miss System wanted to say some points that her host seemed to have forgotten. Perhaps because her host had stopped being so manipulative, she seemed to have forgotten the things that are usually in novels where a girl gets more and more attracted to a guy who is cold and tries to avoid her.
For example, although her host currently seems to be acting like a playboy on the surface to disgust the heroine, his heart says things that make the heroine react otherwise.
There's also the harem halo and her host's looks that can easily make a girl's heart flutter.
Although she can tell this, she chooses to keep quiet because she finds it interesting to watch.
It's not like it's hurting her host anyway because he's getting a pretty girl.
"Utaha Senpai, why are you silent? Answer me."
With more dominating tone.
Eiji took a step forward while holding the girl's hand which made her step back and hit the wall behind her.
Eiji could not believe Utaha would not scold him and felt disgusted at him after he did this, he even slapped the wall on the side of her face to make her even more overwhelming.
"....." Utaha.
As the girl stared at Eiji who was doing "Kabedon" to her in a daze. Her heart was beating like there were deer running around in it, she even felt excited because this scene was like the one in the novel she had made!
If it were any other boy, she would indeed slap the other party's hand and push him in this situation.
But... But... When Eiji did it, the boy's extremely handsome appearance completely broke her defenses and she felt like she was looking at the male lead in her own novel!
Eiji obviously didn't know these details even though he knew the plot, and Utaha felt that Eiji was deliberately disgusting him with his actions. From his inner voice, she certainly knew that boy was deliberately pretending to act like a bastard.
So instead of feeling disgusted, she was confused and fascinated by his actions. Things like this, even Rinri-kun had never done to her, with his personality, it was almost impossible for him to do things like Eiji did on his own initiative.
Unconsciously, Utaha started comparing Eiji and Tomoya in her head. As for what the latter would think if he saw her with the current Eiji? If it was Utaha before hearing her own plot from Eiji, she would definitely be worried that Tomoya would misunderstand.
But now? Utaha who knew Rinri... No, Tomoya had ultimately rejected her in favor of the other girl she knew to be Megumi in his group. She was no longer as excited about Tomoya as before.
Seeing the confusion in Eiji's eyes, Utaha couldn't help but smile and said with coquettishly.
"I don't have a boyfriend yet. What? Is Seiya-kun interested in making me one of his girlfriends? If you beg me... I might consider it."
Eiji naturally cursed in his heart.
[Begging you? In your dreams! Girl, do you think I'm interested in you? Bah bah! Don't put gold on your face!]
[I did this just to disgust you, but what did I get? You seem to be really considering being my girlfriend!]
[Hey what about the protagonist? Aren't you in love with him and crazy about him? Damn, could it be that the Utaha I know in the original work actually has a dark side to give the protagonist a green hat like this? It's possible!]
"...." Utaha.
I don't know what I look like in your head in the original work you mentioned.
But am I really that crazy about Tomoya? Hmph! Even if I like him, there's no way I'm going to give that boy much my first time before we actually officially date!
I don't why I was so stupid in the original work.
Utaha over there must be stupid because the dog writer forced the plot on her. If it were me, I would definitely make a better plot!
How could a girl as beautiful as me lose to a mediocre girl? Even in the real world, what kind of man would be unmoved after being given a kiss and a wonderful night with her at the hotel!
Well that's Tomoya. He misjudged that boy, he...
At this moment, while the two were still in an ambiguous position where Utaha was leaning against the wall with Eiji stretching one of his hands against the wall as if preventing her from escaping.
"Hey you! What are you doing to Utaha Senpai? Let her go right now!"
