Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Nakiri Mansion.

As the name suggests, this is the Nakiri family's mansion which is still located in Totsuki Academy.

Only Nakiri family members and invited guests could stay in the building.

Of course Eiji was no exception because right now, he was already there.

Or rather after what happened in the parking lot. Erina and Alice invited him to go to their family mansion at school.

Eiji didn't refuse and on the way here, he enjoyed the curious looks given by the students and teachers.

Some people whispered. Hey who is that handsome boy?

He's walking with Erina-sama, Alice-sama and even Leonora-sama!

What's that boy's relationship with them?!

At that moment Eiji wanted to say that he was their future husband but didn't do so for fear of making Erina cry from embarrassment.

After all, all tsundere girls' faces were very thin and their emotions...

"Eiji, have you thought something rude about me?"

"No, I didn't."

"Hmph! I believe you!"

Erina snorted and folded her hands under her beautiful breasts.

She uttered sarcastic words.

Meaning she didn't believe what Eiji said.

The sixth sense of women as usual was very sensitive.

Currently, the four of them were sitting in the living room with tea prepared by a pretty girl with short red hair who if I'm not mistaken...

In the original work, Eiji remembered her name was Hisako Arato.

She was Erina's secretary.

Unfortunately they only looked at each other with a smile as the girl gave him tea before politely leaving for another room.

[There's no need to rush. I can get acquainted with her later.]

Erina: This guy... Is he thinking about Hisako?

Eiji ignored the sharp gaze the blonde girl was giving him. His gaze was fixed on the mother and daughter who were sharing stories with each other.

"So that's it... Alice. You and Erina have known Eiji-kun since a week ago. You two have even visited his house to thank him for saving Erina?"

"Eiji-kun, why didn't you tell me that you know my daughter and niece?"

Leonora asked Eiji in confusion.

Eiji pretended to be confused and said, "How do I know Leonora-san is Alice's mother and Erina's aunt? Although your last name is the same as theirs, you look so young that I didn't think in that direction at all."

"Gosh... Eiji-kun, I'm actually much older than you. Do I look that young?"

Leonora held her cheeks with both hands.

She was obviously pleased with what Eiji said.

Eiji knew he was successful and said, "Yes I think you're more like her older sister than her mother."

"Is that so? Fufu~"

Looking at Eiji who was teasing Leonora so that woman looked happy and laughed.

"....." Erina and Alice were silent.

They felt something was wrong here. Especially Alice, was it just her or Eiji trying to seduce her mother?

That's not possible, right? Maybe Eiji was just having a friendly conversation with her mother.

Yes, that must be it.

Although Alice still remembered Eiji's inner voice earlier that said something like compared to her daughter, I'm more interested in her. Was he talking to her mother at that time?

In short...

I treat you as my friend but you want to be my father?!

Alice was dumbfounded.

"Ehem! Mom, what about you? How did you get to know Eiji-kun?"

She pretended to cough and hurriedly interrupted their sweet talk.

Not just worried that Eiji was really trying to seduce her mother.

She was also worried that her mother was seduced by Eiji.

If that really happened what about her?

"Ah... About that. On the way here, mom's car broke down on the road and Eiji-kun's car happened to pass by. I stopped the car so I could get a ride."

Leonora didn't know what her daughter was thinking, nor did she think there was anything wrong with Eiji talking sweetly to her because she enjoyed it.

Alice and Erina were not surprised.

It was because before this Eiji had said about a woman whose car had broken down and asked for his help in his inner voice.

That confirmed that the woman he was referring to was Leonora.

"I see. Eiji-kun, thank you for driving my mom safely."

Alice said that to Eiji.

Although she had a complicated feeling hearing that the boy was more interested in her mother than her.

Eiji waved his hand casually and said, "It's just a small matter, no need to mention it."

"....." Alice's lips twitched. When talking to my mom, you're so excited but when talking to me?

Aren't you too casual?

Alice puffed up her cheeks because she was upset so her eyes turned into a more cartoonish shape.

Eiji wondered if the girl realized how to do it?

At this moment, there was the sound of a teacup being placed hard onto the table. Fortunately the cup didn't break.

Who did it? It was Erina who looked upset over something.

[What's wrong Erina? Is it jealousy?]

I'm not!

Eiji, you're narcissistic!

In fact, unlike Alice who was quick in detecting the ambiguity between Eiji and her mother, Erina was slow in this regard.

She doesn't even understand much about love between men and women.

I don't know why I was upset when I saw Eiji and my aunt talking so pleasantly.

I think it's because...

"Stop with this boring conversation. Eiji, what did you come to this school for?"

Erina started being arrogant because of her tsundere personality.

It was annoying but Eiji knew how to handle this one species. He looked at the girl with a strange look as if to say you're asking me about that?

This confused Erina but then realized the answer to her own question.

A blush colored her cheeks.

After all, she was the one who gave Eiji the special permission letter to enter Totsuki Academy so that he could prove his cooking skills and god's tongue to her.

At least that was what Erina could think about the boy's intention to come to her school.

"Erina, weren't you the one who invited me to—"

"Okay enough, I remember. Sorry, I forgot."

Really?

Eiji couldn't believe it. He was sure it was asking for the reason why he came to her school just because she was upset.

That tsundere girl was troublesome.

But since Erina was pretty, he looked forward to what expression she would make when they exercised together later.

He would be a little harder on her.

"Erina, why are you speaking so harshly to Eiji-kun? After all, he's the one who saved you."

"A-Aunty? That's... You misunderstood. It's just that, you don't know Eiji very well yet! He won't be sad just because of this!"

Hearing Leonora's gentle question but Erina knew she was reprimanding her. She pointed at Eiji's shameless face from her seat.

Did that man look sad and emotional because of what she said?

[Erina, you are naive.]

When Leonora turned to him, Eiji immediately entered acting mode and pretended to drink tea with a sad expression on his handsome face.

Erina was dumbfounded when she saw this. From his inner voice that sounded mocking, she knew Eiji was pretending to get her aunt to side with him.

This cunning man...!

Auntie, don't be fooled by him!

Unfortunately, Leonora was fooled by Eiji's Oscar-winning level skills. She glared at Erina before looking at the handsome boy gently.

"Eiji-kun, don't take Erina's harsh words to heart. She doesn't mean any harm just that she's a bit... You know?"

"I know Leonora-san, don't worry. Erina isn't a bad girl and even though she often says cruel things to others, I know she's just an arrogant and tsundere girl."

"You really know? Fufu. That's good, I'm happy and relieved to hear it."

"Eiji, you, you.... And auntie, how did you say that in front of me?"

Eiji said softly to the silver-haired woman.

He ignored Erina who stammered with a face red with anger. Moreover, neither of them answered her question.

Leonora elbowed her daughter's arm as if signaling to comfort Eiji. Alice understood and looking at Erina who looked upset, her eyes lit up.

She stood up from her seat and sat beside Eiji while hugging his muscular arms.

She did so under Erina's dumbfounded gaze.

"Eiji-kun, ignore Erina! Why don't you come with me? I can show you around this school and show you my molecular gastronomy style cooking skills!"

"Sounds interesting."

Although Eiji wasn't too interested in the latter part. However, he was interested in cultivating a relationship with Alice.

Once he made the girl completely fall in love with him.

He could get her consent to date her mother and her at the same time.

It was tantamount to getting two birds with one stone.

Still, he was a little surprised that his other arm was currently embraced by something warm and no less soft than Alice.

"No! Eiji will come with me! He came here because of my invitation, Alice. You don't need to go to the trouble of showing him around the school. Let me do it and I've promised to cook a dish for him!"

It was Erina!

Did the sun rise from the west?

The tsundere girl took the initiative to hug a guy's arm.

Leonora covered her mouth with one of her hands.

She felt like she was watching a love triangle that was usually in Korean dramas.

However, she didn't know the guy the two girls were fighting over was more interested in her. Isn't it actually a love quadrilateral?

[Hahaha! My king, you're good at putting yourself in situations that are fun for a guy.]

Leme, you understand me.

Eiji was happy even though his arms were currently being pulled from both sides by two beautiful girls.

"Erina, don't think I don't know you got the invitation you meant from grandpa! Grandpa is also my grandpa, I can also do it for Eiji!"

"What kind of logic is that! Alice, don't make trouble."

"You're the one making trouble, Erina!"

"You...! Let go of Eiji, the girl he saved is me! The stuff about being grateful clearly has nothing to do with you, Alice!"

"No, you're wrong. Erina, you are my cousin! I have something to do with every single thing you have!"

"Crazy, you're crazy! I don't have a cousin like you! Auntie, look at your daughter's behavior!"

"Hmph! Erina, you're really naive. My mom will obviously side with me!"

Hearing what Alice said and Leonora who didn't say anything, Erina ground her teeth.

This was not fair.

Alice brought her mother with her. Whereas her?

Erina's expression darkened. Even so, her grip on Eiji's arm grew stronger because she didn't want to be defeated by her cousin!

She didn't want that girl to steal something that should be hers.

Although she knew from Eiji's inner voice all this time that he seemed to have relationships with many women.

Erina didn't know for sure how she felt about that boy but she was a possessive girl. At least in this school which could be considered her territory, she would not let Alice become a cat who stole her fish.

Unnoticed by anyone except Eiji who had super perception.

Behind the pillar on the second floor.

Hisako was peeping and even eavesdropping on the conversation in the open living room on the first floor.

"Erina-sama... You really... Fight on! I'm rooting for you, don't let Alice steal the boy you like!"

Erina would argue if she heard what her secretary said.

Who liked a shameless boy like Eiji?

She didn't!

After all, she was a tsundere.

Still, Hisako was surprised when she first saw Eiji because she had to admit that his looks were worthy of her young lady's favor.

I don't know how his personality is but as far as I can see, he looks good although when he teases Leonora-sama, he is very skillful.

I'm a bit worried that Erina-sama was deceived by a playboy.

I have to find out more about Eiji Seiya!

Even so, seeing Erina hugging the boy's arm and trying to snatch him from her cousin's grip.

"Hiks... Erina-sama, you're finally interested in romance between men and women and want to experience it yourself..."

Hisako took out a tissue to wipe her tears, she was like a mother who was happy to see her daughter grow up.

As Erina's secretary, she should help the girl succeed in her romance, right?

She took out her cell phone from her skirt pocket and sent a message to the principal for the sake of one of her granddaughters.

...

At this time when Eiji was enjoying himself being contested by Alice and Erina with a gaze that could not be separated from Leonora's figure.

Wait a minute. He just realized that he was on a boat that was being tossed around by a storm in the middle of the sea and the only way to save himself was ...

I mean there are several ways.

But if he wanted to do it without opening his own mouth and saying something.

Someone should throw a life preserver at him so that he could swim to shore safely.

"Erina-sama! Alice-sama! Sorry to interrupt, but the director asked you two to come to his office."

A girl walked into the living room and said in a loud voice.

That's what I meant.

Hisako, thank you.

"Hisako? What did grandfather call me to his office for?"

"Secretary, explain."

Alice and Erina released Eiji's arm from their grip. The latter hurriedly did so because she was embarrassed to let her secretary see what she was doing.

Leonora was also curious about the purpose of her father-in-law calling her two granddaughters to his office.

"Sorry, I didn't know."

Hisako said but then she looked at Eiji before adding. "Even so, the director asked me to take Seiya-san around the school and introduce things about this school to him."

"What?!"

Alice and Erina said in unison. They looked at Hisako in surprise and even a little unfriendly.

[What?! Hisako, want to ask me out on a date at school? It's fine since Alice and Erina will be busy meeting their grandfather. I'm a reasonable person, I won't refuse.]

You're a reasonable person? A date? What nonsense are you saying?

Don't think I don't know you also seem to be interested in my secretary, Eiji!

Erina roared in her heart.

Secretary... Is this a coincidence?

Alice narrowed her red eyes at the girl who was her cousin's secretary.

She suspected this was not a coincidence but a girl deliberately telling something to her grandfather.

Hisako who was being stared at intently by the two girls felt nervous.

She was also surprised to suddenly feel a large hand grabbing her shoulder.

"You two better not keep your grandfather waiting. I'll wait for you guys to come back while walking around this school with... Sorry girl, what's your name?"

Eiji who had suddenly disappeared from the sofa and appeared beside Hisako took everyone by surprise.

Leonora rubbed her eyes because for a moment, she thought Eiji had just teleported a short distance.

Perhaps she was a little tired so she was hallucinating?

Only Alice and Erina actually believed that Eiji had just used his superpower.

But they didn't care about that.

What they cared about was how shameless that boy was!

"My name is Hisako Arato, Seiya-san. I am Erina-sama's secretary."

Hisako introduced herself to Eiji and refrained from brushing the boy's hand off her shoulder.

She was a little uncomfortable at suddenly being touched by the opposite sex.

And was it just her or was the boy Erina liked slightly squeezing her shoulder in front of the girl?!

How dare he...

How pervert.

Although he's very handsome, he seems like a bastard!

Don't misunderstand. Eiji was actually just a little curious about Hisako's shoulder because it was too small.

[I'm sure it's not the girl's shoulders that are too small but your hands that are too big, host. Although you're not a giant, your size is above the average man.]

Miss System commented.

Oh, okay.

Eiji just answered like that.

Ehem! He was relieved that Miss System didn't detect a hint of his evil intentions.

Miss System: You think I don't know? I just didn't say it so that what I said wouldn't be too long. That doesn't mean I didn't know you were doing it because you're a pervert!

"Then Hisako, let's go. Leonora-san, see you soon."

"....." Hisako. Excuse me, did you just call me by my first name casually and shamelessly?

"....." Alice and Erina. What about us? You didn't say goodbye to us!

Leonora giggled and nodded. "Have fun, Eiji-kun."

In her heart, she felt Eiji was a very interesting boy.
