Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Instead of wearing boys' clothes like at school, this time Tsugumi was wearing girls' clothes. She wore a light blue blouse, a short white skirt and white shoes with medium heels, she looked so feminine that many men on the street glanced at her especially her thighs.

Tsugumi of course noticed the many stares that were directed at her, she felt uncomfortable.

And if it wasn't for Chitoge forcing her to wear this outfit, she wouldn't have wanted to do it.

"Huh?! W-Were you mocking me?!"

Still, she did not expect to meet Eiji here. Hearing words that sounded like compliments from him, Tsugumi blushed.

She was a little happy but also suspected that the boy was mocking her.

"....?" Eiji made a confused expression and his inner voice sounded.

[What's wrong with Tsugumi? I'm trying to compliment her because she looks really pretty in the clothes she's wearing.]

[Even so, she got angry and thought I was mocking her.]

So he really complimented me?

Thinking of this, Tsugumi was more embarrassed and pinched her skirt uneasily.

"No, I'm an honest man. There's no way I'd lie when I compliment a woman."

Eiji said that but so far, the words that came out of his mouth and his inner voice often contrasted.

Tsugumi knew this and thought the boy was shameless before snorting. "Hmph! You haven't answered my question yet. Why are you here, Eiji?"

"Do you think I followed you, Tsugumi?"

She nodded. "Yes."

Eij's lips twitched and said, "I happened to be shopping around here. You see the shopping bag in my hand? It's proof. What about you, Tsugumi? Why are you here?"

Eiji showed his shopping bag with a famous brand logo in his hand.

At the same time, he continued his inner voice routine.

[I wouldn't be surprised if Tsugumi is secretly following me. It's natural for her to be interested in a handsome boy like me, but there's no way she'd admit it.]

Slander! Eiji, you're slandering me!

Who's interested in you? You narcissist!

Tsugumi complained in her heart and showed her shopping bag filled with groceries. "I'm also shopping around here. Eiji, don't misunderstand."

"Oh."

"You don't believe me?!"

"Tsugumi, when did I say I don't trust you?"

Eiji pretended not to know that his inner voice sounded like usual.

Tsugumi longed to say that she could hear his inner voice, but every time she wanted to do so, something prevented her from speaking.

She didn't know what it was and was a little annoyed. Seeing Eiji's handsome face that she often thought about since the perverted accident last time didn't help either, her heart beating faster.

According to Asia, she was in love with that boy. However, she didn't believe it.

There was no way she was falling for Eiji!

"I just guessed it."

[Just like the protagonist, the heroines are very sensitive. Tsugumi knows I lied to her.]

Eiji, you...

Tsugumi clenched her fists, she refrained from hitting the boy in front of her because Chitoge forbade it.

She felt helpless.

Weapons such as knives and pistols that she usually hid under her clothes had even been confiscated.

"Forget that, for now... Your face is red, do you have a fever?"

It was a clichéd question that dense protagonists usually asked.

Eiji refrained from grinning because he did it on purpose, he approached Tsugumi and was about to put his hand on her forehead.

Tsugumi panicked and out of embarrassment, she stepped back but at that moment. Eiji used probability manipulation to make her slip.

"Oops! Be careful, Tsugumi. You don't have to be afraid of me because I just want to check your body temperature."

"I-I'm not afraid and I'm fine! Let go of me!"

At this moment, people on the street saw Eiji hugging Tsugumi who was about to fall. The scene was like a scene in a movie, especially when they were both handsome and beautiful.

Tsugumi's face was almost as red as Rias' hair, she pushed Eiji away from her but when she did, she felt a pain in one of her legs.

"Ugh..."

"One of your legs seems to be sprained. Sorry, Tsugumi. It's my fault and as an apology, I'll carry you back to your home."

Without waiting for her reply, Eiji immediately turned around and carried her on his back.

Tsugumi was dumbfounded.

She didn't know from the moment they met until this moment, her steps had been predicted by Eiji.

After all, in the original work, she also experienced more or less the same thing as the protagonist Raku. However, instead of that boy, this time it was Eiji who got the chance to carry her!

"What are you doing?! You're my enemy, put me down!"

"Eiji, are you deaf? You don't have to do this, I can walk by myself!"

Tsugumi protested many times.

But Eiji who continued to carry her and ignore her finally said, "No, a real man like me would not leave you to walk alone in your current condition."

"You're a real man but you didn't ask my permission to carry me."

"Tsugumi, just shut up."

Hearing Eiji's serious-sounding voice, Tsugumi fell silent. She felt embarrassed and slowly leaned her body against his broad back.

This was her first time being carried by a boy and it was Eiji. It felt very comfortable and the masculine smell she smelled made her a little drunk.

'We were enemies and I tried to shoot him many times... Why is he so nice to me?'

'He's even said I'm beautiful many times, he's really an idiot!'

'A-Am I really beautiful and attractive in his eyes?'

Tsugumi didn't know that while she was thinking all that, Eiji was smirking because he was using Rasiel to know what she was thinking.

So right now, he was using his inner voice to attack.

[Not only is she very beautiful, although Tsugumi has received harsh training since childhood, her body is soft.]

[I can feel the men on the street looking at me with envy for carrying Tsugumi.]

[Heh, sorry. But this woman is my future wife, there's no way I'm going to let any man including Raku touch her.]

"...!!"

Future wife?!

Eiji thinks that way about me?

Does that mean he likes me?!

Instead of feeling disgusted and upset, Tsugumi blushed again and felt very embarrassed. She didn't expect the boy that her Ojou seemed to like, to like her and want her to marry him. She felt a little guilty for Chitoge but more than that, she felt excited.

She knew Eiji was a bastard because he had a harem, she definitely wouldn't be his only wife. But after staying with those women in his house, she felt it wasn't bad.

Tsugumi wondered what she should do?

"Hmm..." Eiji seemed to want to say something.

Tsugumi nervously asked. "Wh-What is it Eiji?"

She didn't realize her voice had become softer than before.

Eiji was pleased with this development and said, "Tsugumi, how long have you been Chitoge's bodyguard?"

"Hm? Actually, I'm not her bodyguard, I'm her friend who will protect her from anything including bastards who want to trick her." Tsugumi said with a smile on her pretty face.

"Tsugumi, who is that bastard? You're not talking about me, are you?"

"Eiji, are you a bastard?"

Eiji shamelessly answered. "I'm a responsible bastard."

"You're not denying it?!"

Tsugumi was surprised because she thought the boy would deny. But remembering a few days ago he let her, Chitoge, Onodera and Yui stay at his house filled with women who were members of his harem.

He actually never hid the fact that he was a bastard.

Even Chitoge knew Eiji had a harem but she didn't hate him, she became more attracted to him.

This...

"Didn't I say it before? I'm an honest man."

Tsugumi rolled her eyes and couldn't help but laugh, she didn't realize the time passed faster as they talked on the way and arrived in front of the house she bought since she moved to Japan.

The location of her house was actually not far from Chitoge's.

Still, she forgot to ask how Eiji knew where her house was? He even left his car and continued to carry her to get here.

"We're here." Eiji reluctantly lowered Tsugumi from his back.

"Thank you Eiji." Tsugumi was still speaking softly to him. She hesitated to ask if Eiji wanted to go in for a drink first?

Or maybe the boy would ask her if he could visit for a while and she would agree.

However, what made her a little disappointed was that Eiji said, "You're welcome, I'll leave now. Ahh..."

"What's this?"

Tsugumi was confused as Eiji handed her a shopping bag.

"For you, Tsugumi. I originally bought it for someone's birthday but I just remembered I have other things I can give her."

The person Eiji was referring to was clearly a woman.

Even so, Tsugumi no longer acted on it and instead asked with the shopping bag in her hand. "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

"Yes, but if you don't like something feminine like a necklace. You can refuse it, Tsugumi."

So what's inside is a necklace?!

Tsugumi could see the fancy little box inside the shopping bag and felt a little jealous of the girl who was originally going to be given this by Eiji.

But now it was hers!

She was happy and said, "Thanks again, Eiji. I don't hate necklaces... I'll accept it."

[This is a little surprising. I thought Tsugumi would refuse because I gave her a necklace.]

[After all in the original work, she once mentioned that she had discarded her feminine side.]

[Although I know after she fell in love with the protagonist Raku, she started to accept her feminine side.]

Tsugumi was no longer surprised that Eiji knew such details about her. But, she felt disgusted when thinking of her in the original work falling in love with Raku.

To be honest, she was confused as to why that boy could be the protagonist?

[By the way, my little date with Tsugumi is over. However, wondering if I can get a reward after escorting her back to her home?]

[For example... A kiss, maybe?]

Not only did Tsugumi's positive level increase in this encounter, he suddenly thought of using the same trick he used on Chitoge earlier.

He just wanted to test but he didn't expect this moment, Tsugumi's dark blue hair tickled his cheek and he felt her lips against his.

That girl was really kissing him!

A few seconds later.

"It's just a reward for you taking me home and even giving me a present, Eiji."

"Y-You can't tell my Ojou, Chitoge about this, okay?!"

After separating their lips, Tsugumi covered her mouth with the back of her hand.

Just like the color of her eyes, her cheeks were flushed.

She looked very cute.

"Okay." Eiji agreed not to tell Chitoge, at least from his mouth.

Tsugumi was relieved, she immediately turned around and ran to enter her house. After that, she leaned against the door while holding her lips with her finger.

It was her first kiss and she couldn't help but smile.

What Asia said was true, she seemed to have fallen in love with Eiji. Tsugumi was curious to open the small box in the shopping bag the boy had given her.

She opened it and saw a dazzling ruby necklace.

"How beautiful... and it's the same color as my eyes. Is it a coincidence or did Eiji buy this for me from the start?"

Whether it was true or not, Tsugumi felt sweet in her heart and her positive level increased again.

...

After Eiji teleported back to a location not far from his car. He couldn't help looking in the mirror of a shop, and he thought himself undoubtedly very handsome.

[Host, stop. Don't do this.]

'Why not, Miss System?'

[A lot of people are looking at you, aren't you embarrassed when you act narcissistic? Wait, I take back my question.]

'Why?'

[You are shameless.]

"..." Eiji stopped looking in the mirror.

Miss System was rude as usual, she couldn't be like Leme who always felt proud of her host.

But whatever, the wingman that Asia and her other women did when Tsugumi was still staying at his house was very useful.

Otherwise, he doubted Tsugumi would have kissed him earlier since she knew he had a harem.

"For now, let's go home."

Still, this time his attention was distracted by his throbbing thumb. That meant his heroine detector detected something within a 100 meter radius.

It was only 2 pm so there was no need to rush home, right?

Eiji used his magic to teleport again and saw two people who looked familiar. The location is in a fairly crowded shopping district.

One was a girl with silver hair and blue eyes and the other was a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.

In the original work, he remembered the two of them were...

"Kei-chan, I think my current outfit is already good. We don't need to waste money on buying new clothes for me."

The protagonist of Love Is War, the transmigrator version of Miyuki Shirogane persuaded his younger sister.

Since in his previous life he was not good at dressing, he really resembled the original Shirogane.

Kei Shirogane looked at him coldly. "Shut up and follow me, and don't misunderstand me. I'm doing this so that my older brother doesn't embarrass me when he comes to someone's birthday party in that outfit!"

She glared at Shirogane's outfit which consisted of a black bomber jacket with random drawings, torn jeans, sneakers and a sling bag.

With clothes like that, he seriously wanted to attend the birthday party of his friend who he said was from a rich family.

Was he crazy?

Kei cares about her older brother but she gets easily offended whenever she talks to him.

Shirogane said she was in a rebellious phase.

When they arrived at a clothing store and Kei herself was having a hard time choosing men's clothes.

"Excuse me, you seem to be having trouble choosing men's clothes, want me to help you?"

"Hm? You..."

Kei turned to the source of the voice and was surprised to see a boy with silver hair and blue eyes.

He was so handsome!

The way he was dressed also looked better than her older brother. Or rather with an unbuttoned short-sleeved beige shirt over a plain white T-shirt, long black pants and plain white shoes, he was very cool.

"Ah, my name is Eiji Seiya. May I know your name?"

Eiji asked as if he didn't know who the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him was. He started his routine.

Kei who was a little dazed by the appearance of the boy in front of her gasped and blushed slightly before saying, "Kei. My name is Kei Shirogane... Then, I'll trouble you, Eiji-san.

Eiji nodded and asked. "What theme of clothes do you want?"

"Actually, my older brother wants to attend the birthday party of his friend who comes from a rich family. So it should be at least something luxurious, but not too expensive because we... We don't have much money."

Kei lowered her head slightly when saying the last part, she was obviously a little embarrassed because of that.

Eiji remembered that in the original work Kei and protagonist Shirogane's family situation was not good. Their father went bankrupt in the past and divorced their mother due to financial problems.

Except for the mother, the three of them lived in a small house that was a bit shabby. Putting aside the protagonist and his father, but Kei is pathetic.

[As the Harem King, I can't ignore a beautiful girl living in poverty!]

The heroines fell silent.

They were a little surprised not because Eiji seemed to have an ulterior motive to help a beautiful girl. But, did the heroine or female character this time have such a bad financial situation?

With Eiji's finances, he could obviously help her easily.

[Still, I shouldn't be in a hurry so that she doesn't reject me.]

As expected of you, Eiji. You are very good at this.

Many heroines shook their heads.

"I see, the theme is a birthday party. Leave it to me."

A short while later.

Shirogane who had been waiting near the changing room was surprised to see his younger sister returning with a very handsome boy.

His expression became ugly when he saw them walking while smiling and talking to each other.

He felt a little green.

"Kei-chan, who is he?" Shirogane asked harshly while glaring at Eiji.

Kei frowned and her rebellious phase reactivated, she looked at her older brother coldly before saying, "He's my friend, Seiya-san. Don't be rude to him, he helped me pick out clothes for you, Miyuki."

"Kei-chan, how can you call your older brother's name like that?"

"And this boy... This is the first time I know you have a friend like him."

Shirogane was confused and looked at Eiji warily because in the original work, he had never seen a character like him appear.

With his appearance, he doubted he was just an ordinary pedestrian.

"You yourself keep calling me Kei-chan, how many times have I told you not to add '-chan' to my name?"

"And I have no obligation to tell you who my friends are."

Kei was stubborn and was getting angry with her older brother's actions that embarrassed her in front of Eiji.

Eiji pretended to cough and kindly said to the protagonist Shirogane. "Hello, I'm Eiji Seiya. Naturally you just found out about me, me and Kei-san just got to know each other half an hour ago."

"So you two just got to know each other?! This..." Shirogane disliked Eiji even more because his instinct said he was deliberately approaching his younger sister!

However, seeing Kei whose face was colder, he hurriedly smiled a fake smile. "Hello Seiya-kun, I'm Miyuki Shirogane. I'm sorry that my sister has troubled you."

Eiji waved one of his hands. "It's okay, I happened to be there and can help her easily. Why don't you try on the clothes I recommended first?"

"O-Oh, okay."

Shirogane wondered if he was thinking too much?

Eiji seemed nice enough.

However, he somehow felt that he would not be able to be friends with him.

He still disliked him because he dared to approach his younger sister!
