Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 561: Slapping Hisako



When Alice and Erina dealt with their grandfather in the principal's office.

Eiji himself had no idea what the old man wanted to talk to his two granddaughters about.

He refrained from using Future Insight so as not to ruin the surprise factor. Right now, he was walking after Hisako who was giving him a tour of the school although compared to this school, he was more interested in the information of the girls in this place.

Of course, he did not say so and feigned interest when the girl walking beside him told him the function of each building or facility they passed during the trip.

So far they had even passed by the dormitory where the protagonist lived called the Polar Star Dormitory. It was a western-style building that looked a bit abandoned but he knew besides the protagonist, there were some beautiful girls living inside.

Eiji noted and memorized the location of the building before walking past it with Hisako.

As for the other buildings and facilities? He simply nodded and did not really care but remembered exactly where they were located.

He did it so that in the future, he could walk around Totsuki Academy as if walking in his own home. Especially after marrying Erina and the other two women, all the land and buildings here would...

Isn't this his property?

"This is the building where the first year students study."

"The first and second floors are filled with classrooms while the third and fourth floors...

"There are several kitchens where students can practice cooking there."

"After coming this far, do you have any questions to ask, Seiya-san?"

Hisako stopped walking and looked at the boy standing beside her. Just looking at his face alone, she felt a little dazed and frantically immediately thought that she must not be fooled!

Eiji's appearance was undoubtedly too good and she knew he was a rich young company boss, but what about the inside?

Hisako who did not want Erina to be fooled by the bastard felt the need to reevaluate about the boy's character.

This was actually the purpose of her convincing the principal to allow her to get to know Eiji Seiya more.

"Hm... Okay. I have a question but I'm not sure if Hisako can tell me."

Eiji held his chin with one hand while looking at Hisako's face.

Hisako raised her eyebrows and said, "It depends on what you want to ask, Seiya-san. If it's not a secret, I can tell you."

"By the way, can you stop calling me by my first name? We just met and don't have such a close relationship."

"Sorry but no, I have a habit of calling pretty girls by their first name. So Hisako, you should be patient with me. Oh and, you can also call me by my first name."

Eiji said with a smile on his face.

"You..." Hisako was annoyed and thought Eiji was too unreasonable! But since he said that, does he think she is a pretty girl?

Suddenly, embarrassment filled her heart and she did not notice the slight blush appearing on her cheeks.

Wait, don't be fooled!

Immediately, she looked at Eiji warily as he could easily make her lose her composure.

Eiji did not care about Hisako's defensive attitude and said, "About what I want to ask you. I wonder if you could give me your contact information?"

"Seiya-san, I'm sure this has nothing to do with school. So I politely decline your request."

Hisako glared at him.

Eiji sighed. "That's too bad. Then I'll ask Erina for your contact information later."

"Y-You can't do that!"

"I'm sure this has nothing to do with Hisako. It depends on whether Erina wants to give it or not. But don't worry, I'm sure I can persuade her to do so."

"....."

Is this revenge?

Hisako gritted her teeth and decided that Eiji was not a nice guy!

Erina liked him but he was still flirting with Alice and Leonora.

He even flirted with the secretary like her by asking for her contact information.

This... Was he really interested in her?

Hisako's current expression was a mixture of 50 points of annoyance, 30 points of embarrassment, and 20 points of guilt towards her young lady.

Eiji nodded in his heart. He was actually testing how far Hisako could tolerate him because previously he had always been professional and it was hard to see how good her defenses were.

Now that he knew.

He already had some routines for dealing with Hisako.

So he covered his mouth with one of his hands as if stifling a laugh before saying, "Just kidding. Hisako, don't get angry. I just wanted to tease you because throughout the trip, you kept a serious expression on your pretty face."

"Eh really?" Hisako was confused and lost her annoyance at Eiji. In its place, embarrassment surged in her heart which made another blush appear on her white cheeks.

In the original work, she often scolded the protagonist but there were times when she felt embarrassed because of the boy's words.

The conclusion was that if there was a man as handsome as Eiji who often teased her, she would not find it hard to fall in love with him.

"That's right. I don't like forcing girls to do what they don't want to do."

"I-I understand. Actually... If one day Seiya-san needs my help and I need you regarding Erina-sama's matter. It might be good if you have my contact information."

Hisako took out her cell phone and showed the QR code.

Eiji naturally took the phone out of his pocket and scanned it.

"Thank you Hisako. This will definitely help me in the future."

"I hope so, Eiji-kun."

The two stood in the hallway and looked at each other without noticing the gazes of the few students passing by.

Hisako felt something was wrong here. Had she been fooled by Eiji?

Perhaps and she increased her positive evaluation of the boy slightly.

She reluctantly called out his first name.

[Host, wonder what your skill level is in seducing virgin girls?]

'Is there such a thing? Well you'd better keep it to yourself, Miss System.'

Eiji refused to know how good his skill was in that regard because he knew his level must be quite high.

Otherwise, the number of women in his harem would not be close to reaching the three-digit mark. The number was already over 80 and that did not include women who had not officially joined his harem.

Since when did the number become that much? Eiji was a little confused.

[Host, should I remind you of all the things you've done in the form of short videos?]

'No, you don't need to.'

Or rather, Eiji didn't want to see how lustful he was to pursue that many women.

He would feel a little bad.

"Even so, I don't feel you're worthy of Erina-sama yet!"

Suddenly, Hisako added.

Eiji did not get angry when he heard this and still smiled. "Oh? There seems to be a misunderstanding here. My relationship with Erina hasn't reached that point yet. That girl invited me here as gratitude for me saving her before."

"But you're interested in her, right?"

"Of course. After all, Erina is very beautiful."

"What about Alice-sama and Leonora-sama? You flirt with them and seem to have a good relationship with them."

"They're both very beautiful too. How could a young man like me not be interested in them?"

"Hmph!" Hisako reverted to her secretary mode of being overly serious and protective of her young lady. She glared at Eiji and said, "Eiji-kun, you're too flirtatious with other women even though Erina-sama might like you!"

[Hisako says Erina likes me. Really? I'm glad.]

No, I don't like you at all!

Hisako, what are you saying behind my back?!

Erina who heard Eiji's inner voice almost fainted and did not focus on hearing what her grandfather was saying.

Her face was flushed and Senzaemon wondered if the girl was alright?

"Erina, do you have a fever or did my words make you angry?"

"I didn't! Grandpa, quickly finish what you want to say!"

"Haha well, I understand. You really can't wait to meet that boy again. Don't worry, I'm doing this for your and Alice's sake too."

"What nonsense is grandpa saying? Why does everyone seem to misunderstand that I like Eiji?!"

In the principal's office.

Erina cried out like an angry lioness because her tail was stepped on.

Senzaemon and Alice looked at the girl with speechless expressions.

"Don't you like him, Erina?"

"Grandpa, didn't I tell you many times? I..."

"If Erina doesn't like Eiji-kun. Grandpa, just leave him to me!"

"Alice! You... I won't let you do it!"

"What? Erina, you're not making sense. Didn't you just say..."

"No, I didn't say that!"

Looking at his two granddaughters who started fighting again as usual.

Senzaemon massaged his forehead and felt a slight headache.

Originally he wanted Alice and Erina to accompany Eiji in turns to prevent the two from fighting like before where Hisako had texted him for help.

After that, it was up to Eiji whether he liked Alice or Erina more.

He could choose either of them to be his fiancée.

But before he could say most of his ideas, Alice and Erina would interrupt him with their cat and dog fight.

Senzaemon thought...

Perhaps he should let these youngsters solve their own problems?

As the saying goes, old people should not meddle in the affairs of the young.

...

"If Erina really likes me, I would definitely be very happy and not hesitate to date her."

Eiji casually replied. Now that they were no longer in the corridor, they entered into one of the empty kitchens because when Hisako said in a quite loud voice, it attracted the attention of the students who heard her.

Hisako panicked and hurriedly dragged him into this room.

Right now there was definitely a rumor spreading that Erina liked a boy.

They learned this information from her secretary's own mouth.

Hisako who guessed this felt guilty and apologized to Erina in her heart.

The girl would probably scold her if she found out about this.

Even so, she could not help but think it was not just her fault. Eiji was also guilty because he made her say it out loud!

Moreover, he dared to say he would date Erina casually!

Putting aside his flirtatious attitude towards other women.

But...

"Eiji-kun, what you're saying is too casual. You only seem to know how beautiful Erina-sama is. You don't know how great her status is in Totsuki Academy and the culinary world that you can say that."

Hisako looked at the boy in front of her with a serious gaze.

Eiji refrained from rolling his eyes. Of course, he knew very well Erina's status in this school and the culinary world as the owner of God's Tongue.

After all, he had watched the original work.

Even so, he did not feel himself inferior to the girl.

Hisako said that because she herself did not know how great the handsome boy standing in front of her was.

I even have the same God's Tongue as Erina.

Should he say that to make her surprised and show an expression of disbelief?

"In addition to being known as the owner of the famous God's Tongue in the culinary world and earning the honor of deciding a chef's career with just a comment on their cooking."

"At Totsuki Academy, Erina-sama is one of the Ten Elites. Do you know what the Ten Elites are? It is a student council group in this school consisting of the ten best students with master-level cooking skills."

Master level? That's their level?

Isn't that still several levels lower than god level?

Eiji was still smiling and did not show any nervousness on his face.

He still looked confident which annoyed Hisako.

Still, the Elite Ten? In the original work this group was indeed as the girl said.

However, Eiji did not take them seriously except for the few beautiful girls in them who caught his interest.

"Each seat of the Ten Elites has a very high level of authority in Totsuki Academy, second only to the principal and their level of authority is sorted by their seat number."

"Although Erina-sama is only the 10th seat which is the lowest seat for now, she is just like a Queen and this school is her kingdom. Eiji-kun, do you now understand who the girl you want to date is?"

Hisako said all that and felt her throat go a bit dry.

She hoped this was enough to make Eiji take seriously the matter of Erina possibly liking him and he should not play with her feelings.

However, instead of answering her.

Eiji walked deeper into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator where the students' groceries were stored and several cabinets where cooking utensils were kept.

"Eiji-kun, what do you want to do? Don't tell me you want to cook?"

"Please don't joke!"

Hisako raised her voice.

She felt Eiji was still belittling what she said and not taking the chefs in this school seriously which made her a little angry.

She knew that boy was no ordinary boy. He was extraordinary because he had a very handsome appearance and abundant wealth at his young age.

But cooking at Totsuki Academy and the two things he had were different.

Did he think he could cook something not inferior to the Ten Elites' cuisine and make her change her mind about him?

Hisako thought Eiji was too naive.

Especially when she saw the boy just haphazardly throwing some foodstuffs onto the table and randomly selecting knives.

She thought the boy did it without knowing much about the ingredients and cooking tools.

But what she didn't know, Eiji knew everything well and wordlessly started cooking in front of the girl who doubted his ability.

"!!!"

Hisako shuddered when she saw Eiji's cutting speed and she could feel the boy's aura change.

The pressure he exuded was no worse or even greater than Erina and the other members of the Ten Elites she had seen when they cooked.

It had to be just her hallucination, right?

Hisako's heart skipped a beat due to feelings of nervousness and anticipation.

From her position, she could see that every piece of leek, garlic and mushroom that Eiji was cutting at high speed was exactly the same size.

If it was just that, it would be fine. But the key was that he was doing it too fast, so fast that she only saw the shadow of his hand holding the kitchen knife and cutting the ingredients in the air.

Was that something a human could do?

For a moment, Hisako doubted her own vision.

Even the Ten Elites' cutting skills were not as fast and absurd as Eiji's.

'Still, what dish will he cook with those ingredients?'

She wondered in her heart.

On the table, besides the ingredients already mentioned. There was salmon meat, rice, butter, red chili, green chili, oregano, dried chili powder and some other ingredients.

The main ingredient is definitely salmon.

After cutting the ingredients that had to be cut, Eiji skillfully washed the rice and put it into the rice cooker but not only that, he put butter into the rice that had been mixed with water and stirred it first with a spoon before cooking it.

'Butter rice?'

Hisako knew what kind of rice Eiji was going to cook.

Then, she saw the boy turn on the stove and start sautéing the garlic pieces over low heat with a fifteen-second pause before putting in the red and green chilies simultaneously.

'He knows the order of cooking the ingredients like a good chef.'

At this point, Hisako felt a little embarrassed because at least Eiji knew how to cook even though she doubted his cooking tasted as good as the members of the Ten Elites.

After finishing sautéing some of the ingredients. Eiji began heating butter on another pan and started putting in the salmon fillet...

Hisako did not know when Eiji had cut the fish meat. Her eyes were unable to follow the boy's cutting movements and she only saw him seasoning the salmon meat he was frying with pepper, a spoonful of lemon juice and coarse-looking rock salt.

He flipped the salmon meat until it flew into the air without worrying about letting it fall.

Eiji actually did that just because it was troublesome to flip the salmon meat with a spatula.

After the color of the salmon meat looked bright and slightly browned, he cooled it on a plate. After that, he reused the same skillet that contained the butter oil used to fry the salmon meat.

He put all the ingredients that he had cut earlier in there and stirred them over low heat.

After that, he started making the bread dough and arranged the fried salmon meat and the ingredients he had stir-fried in it.

The buttered rice had even been cooked and made into porridge without Hisako realizing because she was too focused on Eiji's handsome cooking face and his hand movements.

The boy coated the ingredients on top of the dough with the buttery porridge and sprinkled some oregano and three types of chili on top. Then, he folded the dough into a roll.

"That... Is it going into the oven?"

She subconsciously asked and Eiji didn't say anything.

The boy just smiled and actually put it in the oven.

A while later.

"I don't know the name because it was an experiment and I made it based on makeshift ingredients. I call it Butter Salmon Bread."

[Host, your taste in names is not very good.]

Miss System commented.

'Should I add Golden? Golden Butter Salmon Bread?'

[Adding the word "Golden" doesn't make it better.]

'Oh whatever. The name doesn't matter, what matters is the taste.'

Hearing this, Miss System doubted what her host was saying.

Eiji placed the dish that had been made on a plate placed on the table, it was right in front of Hisako.

The dish looked like brownish bread but the aroma it emitted filled the kitchen and was so strong that Hisako involuntarily swallowed her own saliva.

"You said this dish was an experiment? Really?!"

"Yes, what's wrong? Hisako, there is a saying not to judge a book by its cover. Eat before you comment on my cooking."

"....."

Hisako's lips twitched.

She picked up the dinner knife and fork before cutting the so-called Butter Salmon Bread on the plate.

At that moment, an even stronger delicious aroma seemed to explode and anyone who smelled it would be drooling! Except Eiji of course because he was the creator of the dish and had an extremely high resistance to being affected by it.

But Hisako?

She was drooling and not only that, she did not realize that the aroma in the kitchen even extended to fill the corridors and classrooms of the students on other floors.

Many students and teachers were shocked. Who was it? Who cooked food with a delicious smell this strong?!

Unfortunately they didn't see the scene. As if there was an illusion, just as Hisako cut into the Butter Salmon Bread, she also saw the inside of the dish glowing with a golden light as if adding an effect that made people want to taste it.

Hisako doubted whether this dish was still the same dish with the same ingredients!

It seemed like she had missed some of the ingredients Eiji had put into it. She wanted to ask but hearing what the boy said, she refrained and decided to taste the food in front of her first.

And when she did.

"Aahhh~!"

Hisako let out an obscene moan and her entire outfit was torn off so Eiji could see two white mounds that looked soft and beautiful.

He gave a thumbs up.

"Thanks for the view!"
