Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 536: Thank you from Erina

[Host, you lucky bastard.]

Miss System suddenly said that to her host who was entertaining two beautiful guests.

Eiji didn't know the woman was talking about Haruno's wingman operation. He thought she was talking about his current situation.

'Miss System, are you blind? Alice and Erina only came to my house to thank me.'

'Our relationship is pure and I have no evil intentions at all.'

He denied.

Miss System was clearly slandering her host. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, none of them who knew Eiji and heard what he was thinking would believe him.

Miss System was even too lazy to continue this topic and chose silence. Only Leme was being a good girl, she was watching without insulting her host, she wasn't like a certain woman.

Miss System: "...."

Host, you dare to insult me? Good. The next reward has already been decided.

Eiji didn't know the threat from Miss System. At this moment, Erina was already sitting on the sofa with Alice beside her.

The two were obviously from the same family but they kept their distance to some extent.

And unlike before where Erina looked angry and Alice was happy. The current situation was reversed with Erina smiling as if in a good mood and Alice looking unhappy.

This happened since Eiji's confession was heard and both realized they could hear the boy's inner voice.

However, they decided to keep this a secret and pretend not to know.

Erina even tried to suppress her embarrassment when sitting across from the boy who secretly liked her.

"Have a drink, Erina-san."

"Alice-san, do you want to refill your teacup?"

Asia had just made tea for Erina and placed it on the table.

At the same time, she did not forget to ask Alice if she wanted to refill her teacup? Perhaps out of annoyance at her cousin's smug face, moments ago Alice drank her tea in one gulp.

"Thank you, um..." Erina was tsundere but that didn't mean she didn't know how to thank and be polite when being a guest in someone else's house, especially if it was Eiji's house. Still, she had no idea how to address this beautiful blonde girl in a sexy maid uniform.

Or rather...

Weren't the maids in this house so beautiful that their appearance wasn't much worse than her and Alice?

Erina had gotten acquainted with Noel who had previously escorted her into Eiji's house.

The orange-haired maid was already beautiful and had a good figure.

But this blonde maid was even more beautiful with large breasts and plump thighs under her short skirt.

"My name is Asia Argento. You can call me Asia. I hope Erina-san doesn't mind me calling you by your first name since you and Alice-san have the same last name."

Asia politely introduced herself and her smile looked as innocent as an angel.

Erina who usually looked down on others, especially if it was a maid who dared to call her familiarly. However, this time she couldn't get angry and nodded with a faint smile.

"No problem, Asia-san."

[Isn't this not a little unfair? I remember when I called Erina by her first name when we first met, she didn't immediately agree and was even a little reluctant.]

[I had to trick her into agreeing.]

Luckily Erina hadn't drunk her tea yet. Otherwise, she might have choked from hearing what Eiji said in his heart.

She couldn't say that because Asia seemed like a very kind and innocent girl, right?

That girl was different from the boy who dared to tease Erina Nakiri when they first met...

Wait Eiji. You tricked me that time?!

Erina glared at Eiji but the boy pretended not to notice.

"Asia-san, please refill my cup! My throat is a bit dry from talking with Erina."

"Alice, I should have said that!"

Alice casually made Erina angry just because of her words.

Asia did not refuse and refilled the tea in Alice's cup. Alice ignored Erina's sharp gaze and gracefully drank her tea before commenting.

"Now I just realized... What kind of tea is this, Eiji-kun? It's really good."

"It's the instant tea my company sells. As for the type? It's just Matcha Latte."

Eiji humbly said and didn't bother to hide the identity of his company boss.

The two girls already knew it anyway.

Just looking at the color of the tea in the cup, Erina and knew it was Matcha Latte and sneered at Alice.

"It's just Matcha Latte, Alice. Is this your first time drinking it? As a chef, your knowledge of drinks is very low."

Alice's lips twitched, of course she knew it was a Matcha Latte. In Japan, this type of processed tea was very popular and she herself had tried it before.

However, that was not what she meant!

"Erina, don't underestimate me! Of course I know it's a Matcha Latte but what I mean is that it tastes better than any other Matcha Latte!"

"Oh really?"

"You don't believe me? Then use your God's Tongue that you're so proud of to taste it."

Alice began to puff up her cheeks again while glaring at Erina.

Erina was still underestimating Alice. The girl thought this instant Matcha Latte was very good, but for a God's Tongue owner like herself? It's not that she underestimated the tea products sold by Eiji's company which was Mitsugoshi Company if I'm not mistaken.

However, Erina was sure that for her this tea tasted mediocre.

She took a small sip of the tea under everyone's gaze and...

Erina was a little surprised.

"Hehe Erina, are you surprised? Tell me it's really good!"

Alice mocked her tsundere cousin.

By the way, Erina would definitely be more surprised and show her shameful side if she also ate the Golden Beef Ball Rices made by Eiji.

Alice's eyes lit up. She suddenly had an evil idea but she then remembered that the food had already been consumed by her, Eiji and Asia.

There was nothing left.

Damn, if I knew it would be like this. I would have left some for Erina!

Erina didn't know why Alica who was mocking her suddenly looked a little depressed.

She was reluctant to admit it but she had to say her honest opinion about the food and even drinks she tasted. Otherwise, her God's Tongue credibility would be diminished.

However, unlike usual when she criticized other people's dishes, the tone she used this time sounded a little soft.

Don't misunderstand, it's definitely not because this tea is produced by Eiji's company!

"I admit that this is the best Matcha Latte I've ever tried even though it's an instant tea that only needs to be brewed with boiling hot water."

"The matcha flavor in it is still authentic and the milk cream feels very smooth on the tongue. The quality of the ingredients inside is very high and good, but..."

Erina looked at Eiji in professional critic mode. But before she continued her words, Eiji basically said what she wanted to say.

"There's too much milk powder and sugar. Most people will think the sweetness is just right. But for some people with sensitive tongues, it's too sweet because of the excess 2 grams of cream and sugar."

"And the best way to enjoy this tea is with hot water at 50 to 60 degrees Celsius."

Any chance to show off, Eiji certainly wouldn't miss it.

But Asia who heard what Eiji said hurriedly said, "Ah sorry! It must be my fault for making the water too hot."

"It's okay, Asia. It's just a small detail that most people don't usually notice and didn't Erina say it still tastes good?"

Eiji calmed down his blonde maid. If not for the existence of Alice and Erina, he wanted to hug Asia's curvaceous body and put it on his lap.

Fortunately he was good at restraining himself.

[....]

I said I'm good at restraint.

[....]

Miss System, don't you have anything to say?

[No, I don't. I don't need to say anything because many people know whether it's true or not.]

Eiji was silent. No, there's no way what Miss System said is true.

Many people must think it's not.

While Eiji was deceiving himself so that he wouldn't feel bad and Asia felt relieved.

Alice and Erina were dumbfounded because was it a coincidence? How exactly did Eiji know such details about the tea produced by his company?

Even Alice who knew Eiji's cooking skills didn't think the boy had God's Tongue. Especially Erina, she thought it was because Eiji knew very well the composition inside his instant tea since it was his company's own product.

"Eiji-kun, how did you know?"

Still, Erina couldn't help but ask curiously and she called Eiji by his first name.

Eiji's previous confession seemed to affect her.

Alice was also as curious as her cousin.

Both girls were curious about a man. That was what Eiji wanted who now only had to say, "Well... I happen to know a lot about my own company's products."

[Just kidding. If I said I also have the Tongue of God. Would you two believe me? Especially Erina, she would definitely be very surprised and shout "No way! Eiji-kun, you're too arrogant to think your tongue is God's Tongue. At most it's only slightly better than an ordinary person's tongue." She thought the God's Tongue could only be obtained from genetics like her.]

[In Erina's view, there couldn't be a God's Tongue owner who didn't come from the Nakiri family. In the funniest case, she would think I'm her mother's illegitimate child because that woman had an affair with another man and is sad that we can't get married.]

[After all, we are siblings.]

[However, if that's true. Incest won't be a problem for me. As long as there is love, everything is fine!]

The other heroines who happened to be drinking or eating out there could not help but choke.

It wasn't because of the God's Tongue because unlike Alice and Erina, they didn't really understand about that.

However, many of them laughed at hearing that Eiji was the illegitimate son of Erina's mother.

Moreover, Eiji shamelessly said incest wouldn't be a problem as long as he and Erina were in love.

[Mai: Hahaha!]

[Yukino: Shameless man...]

[Yui: Why is that guy so immoral?]

[Utaha: Girls, don't laugh at Eiji-kun... Pfft!]

[Rias: Utaha, you're laughing too.]

[Akeno: Rias, you're holding your stomach.]

And there were many other heroines who couldn't help but laugh.

Even Asia bit her lip to hold back her laughter.

They would 100% believe it if one day Eiji said he had worked as a comedian in a previous life.

Only Alice and Erina didn't laugh at the scene because they were shocked. Eiji had the God's Tongue?!

But Alice immediately calmed down and trusted this information enough because she had seen Eiji's cooking ability which was at a supernatural level.

Come to think of it, it wasn't impossible for Eiji to have the God's Tongue.

However, Erina was different. She hadn't known the boy who had saved her like a prince on a white horse was actually so good at cooking.

She thought he was just a very successful young businessman.

So just like Eiji thought, Erina couldn't believe the boy had the same God's Tongue as her!

She would have screamed more or less the same as Eiji said in his heart if he had spoken from his mouth.

However, this was Eiji's inner voice. Erina thought why would Eiji lie in his own heart? So most likely everything he said including him and Alice were heroines...

That's all true.

Still, really?

Erina was confused and became even more curious about the handsome boy sitting in front of her.

Curiosity killed the cat.

This was a saying that suited Erina and Alice.

Eiji was using this method intentionally. And with his inner voice, he didn't have to worry about the heroines screaming and saying they didn't believe what he said.

Because what was he saying? He was very humble on the surface and didn't say anything.

At least from his mouth that made the women only work harder to find out more about him.

And sooner or later...

They will all fall.

[Host, let's register yourself as a certified villain.]

'Miss System, that was a bad joke.'

[I'm serious.]

'No, you're not serious.'

Eiji refrained from rolling his eyes. He's not not a villain, he's clearly... He's the protagonist, right?

[You're not even sure if you're the villain or the protagonist.]

"....."

The atmosphere in the room became quiet for a while.

Everyone except Asia was in deep thought.

"Eiji-kun, are you serious?" Erina finally asked again.

Eiji tilted his head slightly. "Yes, why would I lie?"

You lied!

Are you trying to be humble in front of us or what?

Alice and Erina complained in their hearts. But without realizing it, this rather strange humble attitude made Eiji even more pleasing to the eye.

Alice who had tasted Eiji's homemade cooking snorted and said, "Eiji-kun, there's no need to be humble. After seeing your very strong cooking skills."

"I don't think it's unusual for you to have super-level taste buds like Erina."

"You have the God's Tongue!"

Erina wanted to refute what her cousin said. Do you think my God's Tongue is like a cabbage that you can easily find in the market?

But, she didn't say anything because her attention was drawn to the other information that mentioned Eiji had cooking skills?

And because the person who said that was Alice.

Are Eiji's cooking skills really that strong?

Erina became even more curious.

Eiji gave a thumbs up to Alice in his heart. It was not in vain that he showed off to that girl before. She was potentially an accidental wingman and could help him to get her cousin.

Tsk! Tsk! Isn't this the same as killing two birds with one stone?

Still, at this moment—

"Alice, you're overestimating me. My cooking skills just aren't bad and my tongue? It might be pretty good but it still can't compare to Erina's very famous God's Tongue."

Hearing this, Alice pouted.

On the other side, Erina was happy. An arrogant tsundere like her ate this set well. Not only did it not offend her, she felt that Eiji was just being humble and maybe he really had the God's Tongue!

His cooking skills are also as strong as what Alice said!

Of course, this still needs to be verified.

"Ehem!" Erina pretended to cough.

After everyone stopped talking and looked at her.

She smiled faintly and said, "If what Alice said is true. Even if it's only half true, Eiji-kun."

"Yes Erina." Eiji said.

But unlike before— when he called Erina's first name. The girl in question had a slight blush on her cheeks. How cute.

Erina felt unable to look at Eiji's face for too long because he was too handsome and dangerous for her heart.

So her gaze on the boy was not too focused and she said, "That can be proven by the thanks I have prepared for you."

Actually one of them was from her grandfather but Erina did not mention it. It definitely wasn't because she wanted Eiji to feel she liked him that much.

Ehem! Don't misunderstand.

[Can these people stop coughing on purpose?]

[Miss Neighbor, what do you mean?]

[No, it's okay.]

Leme who had been watching curiously asked her neighbor.

Miss System didn't want to tell the truth to the legal loli who lived in the next room.

Alright Erina, say it.

"First, as my thanks, I will cook you a dish that I cooked."

"How about the second one?" Eiji looked less interested in the first and asked about the second.

Erina's lips twitched. She felt what Alice felt earlier.

But she continued and said, "Second, I'll give you this. With your cooking skills, this will be a great opportunity for you."

Erina put down the envelope which looked luxurious as it had a golden seal with the emblem of Totsuki Academy.

While Alice was surprised and Asia who was still there was confused.

Eiji blinked his eyes several times.
