Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 484: Hayato's jealousy

{Hayama did a good thing to stop Eiji and Yukino. He saved the singles in the cafeteria from eating dog food. But...}

The heroines: ???

Eiji: "...."

{It's a pity Hayama provoked the wrong person! Provoking Eiji is not a good thing.}

{Hayama, you're pathetic.}

Hachiman sighed and continued eating while silently watching.

As one of the protagonists, he acted as if he had nothing to do with this situation.

Although that was true, many of the heroine were a little surprised because was it just them or did the protagonist Hachiman know Eiji's character very well?

However, considering the miserable things the boy had gone through because of Eiji. They understood.

Eiji smiled, Hachiman had learned from his experience. Instead of being angry, he was actually glad Hayato Hayama was trying to stop him.

So under the blonde boy's gaze, he continued his movement to eat the noodles from Yukino's chopsticks.

"...!" Hayato widened his eyes.

"Um, this is really good. What kind of ramen is this? Besides being savory because of the spices, there's also a sweetness that reminds me of Yukino." Eiji said an ambiguous thing while stroking the soft thigh covered with black stockings under the table.

"Eiji... W-What are you saying? Don't say things like that." Yukino blushed and rebuked Eiji weakly.

Where did the iceberg beauty go? The students in the cafeteria can only see the melting iceberg!

Many men were mesmerized and at the same time very envious of Eiji. However, if they saw what that boy did to Yukino's thigh under the table. Their reaction would definitely be even crazier.

Hayato's lips twitched, his good guy smile almost crumbling. He didn't expect Eiji to not only not stop after he interrupted him, he dared to say such things to Yukino!

And Yukino even made a face like that? Although Hayato only wanted to take care of Yukino because she was Haruno's younger sister, the uneasy feeling in his heart increased.

Was he jealous? No, he was worried about Yukino!

A boy who dated many girls in school like Eiji was definitely not a good person. Yukino must have been tricked by him.

Hayato tried to control his emotions but he couldn't resist clenching his fists under the table. He didn't realize his movement was seen by Yumiko who was sitting next to him.

Yumiko's expression looked complicated.

At this moment, Basara finished queuing and carried a tray of food and drinks in his hand. He walked over to the group's table.

"Eiji, here's your order. Should I sit at another table?" Basara asked as he realized how full the table was. Although there was one more empty seat, but it was next to Eiji and two girls.

Basara was a very sensitive protagonist, even though he didn't recognize the two girls beside Eiji. He knew the two of them might have a relationship with Eiji, especially the black-haired girl.

He saw Eiji put his hand on the girl's thigh.

Yukino panicked, she pinched Eiji's arm hard because someone saw what was happening under the table!

"No, why are you sitting at another table? Isn't the seat next to me empty?"

[I'm not a stingy person. Yukino and Yuigahama are sitting to my left. And you Basara, you can sit on my right. As long as you don't touch my woman, you're safe.]

The heroines: "...."

With words like that, you say you're not stingy?

You're so possessive!

Still, about Eiji saying 'my woman' made Yuigahama blush because didn't that mean...

Eiji put himself on the list that other men shouldn't touch? It meant that he also felt possessive of her!

Does Eiji like her? Yuigahama held her cheeks with both hands.

A while after Basara finally joined the dining table.

"Now I just remembered. Shouldn't we get acquainted? This is our first time sitting together. Why are you guys silent?" Eiji asked while looking at the four people including Hayato.

His question made everyone except Basara silent.

Didn't Hayato ask more or less the same thing earlier?

You're ignoring him!

By the way, Basara really didn't hold back for a lot of food for himself and had just eaten a few bites. Although he was not a shy protagonist, he had just nodded politely to Yumiko and her group.

Still, he didn't know why the bespectacled girl sitting in front of him started panting and her face flushed when he sat next to Eiji.

"Ehem! Yahallo~! I'm Hina Ebina from class 2-F! Eiji-kun, Basara-kun, I know you both. After all, you guys are the most famous boys in school! One of them is nicknamed Demon Lord because of his relationship with many beautiful girls and the other one... Hehe, he's nicknamed Hero because he once defeated a group of mischievous students who often cause trouble at school."

Ebina said excitedly, her breathing quickening and her face turning red.

She hadn't finished speaking yet. "Eiji-kun and Basara-kun... No, it should be Demon Lord x Hero! You guys— buha!"

"...." Eiji

"...." Basara.

"...." Everyone.

"Ebina, you idiot. Don't get too excited! Hurry up and plug your nose!"

Ebina did not finish her sentence as she had a nosebleed. Yumiko who was sitting next to the girl was worried and took out a small box of tissues from her pocket to plug her nose.

Ebina casually pinched her nose. From her relaxed movements, this did not seem to be the first time she had a nosebleed.

"Is she alright?" Basara asked in a voice that only Eiji could hear.

"Well as that pretty blonde girl said. She's just too excited." Eiji said and his voice could be heard by everyone at the table.

Of course, Yumiko could also hear what he said and the girl was stunned. She was a little embarrassed by what Eiji said until her face heated up because it was a compliment, right?

She glanced at Yukino smugly. After all, her boyfriend had just complimented her. She wanted to see the jealous expression on the girl's face.

However, Yumiko was disappointed because Yukino looked indifferent.

She played with the curls of her blonde hair and said to Eiji, "I heard what you said, thank you."

"Oh you're welcome."

"Hmph! My name is Yumiko Miura, class 2-F."

Yumiko snorted, she was an arrogant girl just like in the original work. Eiji wasn't surprised and he blessed, "Yumiko Miura? What a beautiful name. May I call you Yumiko?"

"D-Directly first name?! You– aren't you too impatient? Seiya-kun." Yumiko stammered, she was surprised by Eiji's shameless attitude.

If it was any other boy, she would have been disgusted. But since Eiji was a very handsome boy, more handsome than Hayato. Yumiko asked with a blush on her face.

"....." Everyone at the table. Seeing Eiji easily made the arrogant Yumiko show such a side. Tobe looked at the boy with admiration.

Only Hayato inexplicably felt green— I mean he felt his head getting heavier.

Although he knew Yumiko liked him and he always pretended not to know because he didn't want to ruin the atmosphere in their group.

He felt uncomfortable seeing her being flirted with by another boy.

Yumiko even blushed!

Hayato disliked Eiji even more.

Sure enough. That boy had a playboy nature! Yukino and even Yumiko should not be fooled by him.

"Too impatient? Sorry, it's just my habit. Yumiko, you can also call me Eiji."

"Yukinoshita, you're just going to shut up listening to what your boyfriend says?"

Instead of responding to Eiji, Yumiko looked at Yukino and asked the girl. She wondered if Yukino wasn't angry seeing her boyfriend flirting with other girls?

However, Yumiko forgot something.

Hayato's eyes lit up. He praised Yumiko's question in his heart. Wasn't it this time that Yukino could finally see clearly what kind of person Eiji was?

He's a playboy!

Even in front of his girlfriend, he dared to flirt with other girls.

Hayato also forgot something.

Yukino smiled wryly, she raised one of her hands to tug on Eiji's ear. She didn't do it hard of course although Eiji pretended to be in pain so she said "Ouch! Yukino, do you want to pull out one of my ears? If you pull it out, I can't hear your cute voice anymore."

Bah! Pretend! You're pretending! Can you shut up? Why is your tongue so sweet?

Yukino's cheeks were slightly colored again by a blush and she complained in her heart.

She looked at Yumiko calmly and said, "It's okay. It's Eiji's habit to flirt with every pretty girl he meets and I don't mind. After all, I'm not his only girlfriend."

"!!!" Yumiko was stunned, Hayato was surprised that Yukino actually knew? And she doesn't mind sharing her boyfriend with other girls?!

Basara shook his head. Just like Hachiman, he was also enjoying watching while eating.

Speaking of Eiji's girlfriend. He couldn't help but remember Mio, Maria, Yuki, Kurumi, Celis and Chisato. Those girls and even his aunt had been Eiji's women.

So, not like the others. He was not surprised by what Yukino said. Although Eiji looked like a playboy, he was actually in a relationship with all those women openly.

Those women even agreed.

Basara was already so numb about this that he at most only felt his food was slightly bitter.

{Sometimes I wonder what kind of medicine Eiji gave Yukino and the other girls? Is being very handsome and strong enough to choose a harem in the real world?!}

{I... I'm not jealous at all! Instead of having a harem, having a rich woman willing to marry me is enough.}

Hearing what Hachiman said, Eiji only believed the last part. He knew in the original work, Hachiman had once told Shizuka that his dream was to marry a rich woman and become a house husband.

Unfortunately it was difficult for him. But don't worry, Hachiman!

In this life, you will realize who is best for you.

Compared to Shizuka, Yukino and Yuigahama. Isn't Tostuka more fragrant to you?

In the original work, I don't know how many times you blushed and your heart skipped a beat when you were with Totsuka.

While Yumiko and Hayato were still processing what they had just heard, and Ebina seemed to be thinking about something else with a somewhat wrong expression.

Tobe raised one hand excitedly and said, "My turn! My name is Kakeru Tobe from 2-F. Eiji, I admire. May I worship you as a teacher? Please teach me how to seduce beautiful girls!"

Kakeru Tobe. He was a long brown haired boy with a hair tie. Eiji honestly didn't remember many things about him.

He didn't even remember the boy's name if not for him introducing himself. Although vaguely, he remembered Tobe having a certain plot with Ebina.

But that was it.

Yukino stopped pulling his ears and he said, "No."

"Eh? Why, Eiji, please!" Tobe put his hands together with a pleading expression. For a moment, his gaze peered at Ebina's cute face.

"No, it's troublesome." Eiji indifferently refused again and ate his curry rice casually.

"Ah, but..." Tobe wanted to plead again, but he closed his mouth because he was intimidated by Eiji's indifferent gaze. To be honest, the reason why he dared to ask Eiji for help even though it was the first time they met was because he thought the boy was easy to befriend.

After all, so far Eiji seemed like a handsome boy who casually flirted with girls.

He seemed friendly and not scary.

But now? Tobe felt so scared that his back was drenched in cold sweat.

"...." Yukino, Yuigahama, Yumiko and even Ebina were silent. They felt that Tobe was very pitiful.

However, Yukino was not surprised because she knew that although Eiji was always friendly and kind to the opposite sex.

If it was to the same sex. Unless it was the protagonist, he seemed to have a contrasting attitude!

It wasn't without reason why the boy had no friends other than the protagonist.

[Hmm? Why does it feel like Yukino is thinking something rude about me? The reason why I refused to teach Tobe how to woo pretty girls is because it's troublesome. We've only just met and gotten acquainted. I don't want to waste my time with irrelevant people.]

[But if girls like Yumiko and Ebina ask for help with something... Well, it's not impossible.]

The heroines: "...."

[Liese: I understand. So as long as it's a girl. Darling won't mind helping them.]

[Utaha: Especially if it's a beautiful woman. He'll be very enthusiastic to help them like he did me.]

[Anastasia: Come to think of it, Eiji was very enthusiastic when he helped me.]

[Asia: Eiji-san is so nice!]

[Mai: Asia, you're ignoring the other point that Eiji doesn't want to help men except the protagonist.]

[Asia: Eh Mai? It's okay. Isn't it just another male besides Eiji-san? I don't care. Does Mai care?]

[Mai: Not really. But Asia, aren't you a former nun? You're kind of...]

While the group chat was in full swing.

"I'm Basara Toujou from class 2-D. Nice to meet you all."

Basara broke the awkward situation with his self-introduction.

"Basara? I've also heard of you... You're very popular among the girls. Can you-"

Because Eiji was too scary, Tobe shifted his gaze to Basara and wanted to ask for his help.

But before he could finish his words, Basara interrupted him.

"Sorry, but no. Actually, it wasn't me who seduced those girls but they themselves..." Basara smiled wryly.

"That makes me even more jealous!" Tobe shouted and looked like he wanted to cry because he was jealous of the two boys in front of him.

One of them had a harem at school and even managed to conquer a cold beauty like Yukino.

The other was naturally popular because his looks were there.

"Um... Tobe, you're whispering too much. Please calm down, okay?" Hayato tapped Tobe on the shoulder. Many students in the cafeteria were staring at their group. Although ever since Eiji and Basara sat down at their table, many gazes were on them.

But Tobe's noisy whining even made him a little embarrassed.

"...." Tobe was successfully silenced after Hayato said that.

Hayato looked at Eiji and then Yukino before looking back at Eiji.

Yukino frowned. She always felt Hayato glanced at her several times which made her uncomfortable.

"I'm Hayato Hayama from the same class as Tobe and the others. By the way Eiji, Yukino might not have told you yet."

Huh? What did Hayama want to say? Yukino had the urge to beat up that boy.

And since when was our relationship so good that you called me that.

I don't want Eiji to misunderstand!

Although in the past, Hayama did...

"Oh? What's that? I'm curious." Asked Eiji with an amused smile.

Hayato smiled falsely and said, "Yukino and I have actually known each other since elementary school. We're childhood friends and our relationship-"

*Bang!*

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't Eiji who slapped Hayato to death in the cafeteria.

But, it was Yukino who had just slapped the table with one of her hands until everyone's bowls were slightly thrown into the air and the students at the other tables gasped.

They were shocked of course.

Hachiman shuddered, he looked at Hayato who was looking for death with sympathy.

Right now, Yukino even had a cold gaze that looked very scary. The temperature in the cafeteria felt even colder even though it was the middle of the day and sunlight was coming in through the windows.

If it wasn't for Eiji secretly using the Enchant Spell to strengthen the durability of the table before Yukino went berserk and slapped the table.

The table would have split into several pieces and the cafeteria would have collapsed. After all, now Yukino was no ordinary girl. She had been eaten by her and had a Master-Servant tattoo on her neck.

Her physical strength was at a supernatural level.

Despite not having learned magic, Yukino had magic energy with an ice attribute inside her body that made the temperature in the room drop by several degrees.

Eiji smirked in his heart. Yukino was already beautiful— but when she wanted to slap other men for her, she looked even more beautiful.

"Y-Yukino..."

"Shut up! Don't call me by my first name. We're not even that close, Hayama-san."

"...."

Hayato stammered, he was of course surprised and frightened by Yukino's violent reaction. The girl's piercing gaze even made his body feel cold.

Was it a hallucination? No, it was real because his body was shivering.

"Do you still want to meddle with my affairs? I already told you when you visited the service club a week ago... Did you forget? You're not worth it. Although we could be called childhood friends- that's in the past." Yukino said coldly and emphasized her every word so that Eiji wouldn't misunderstand.

"B-But Yukino, I'm just worried about you. Haruno-nee would be worried if she knew you were dating a playboy like Eiji."

Hayato said what he wanted to say.

Yumiko, Yuigahama, Ebina, Tobe and the other students in the cafeteria were stunned. They just found out Hayato doesn't like Eiji and it's because of Yukino?

Yumiko's expression became ugly. Her suspicion about Hayato having feelings for Yukino was getting higher.

She was sad and at the same time jealous of Yukino. But, she didn't dare to glare at the girl because she was now very scary.

"Speaking of my older sister. She already knows and doesn't mind."

"No way! Yukino, you're lying. Haruno-nee loves you very much. How could she approve of you and Eiji's relationship..."

Hayato couldn't believe it.

Yukino sneered and looked at the blonde boy with disgust.

"Enough! Whether you believe it or not, you can ask that woman. Did you hear me? Don't call me by my first name! Hayama-san, you and I now can't even be considered friends. We're nothing more than acquaintances. I don't want you to interfere with my affairs, especially my and Eiji's relationship."

Although Yukino said all that more calmly. Her calm voice was like a knife that pierced Hayato's heart.

If before Yukino was nice when he called her by her first name and acted like they were quite familiar.

Now the girl was drawing the line from him clearly.

Of course, Hayato knew since he didn't help Yukino when she was bullied by her classmates in elementary school. He knew his relationship with the girl had grown cold even though they sometimes crossed paths in junior high and high school.

But it didn't reach the point where Yukino looked at him with so much disgust like now.

There was also hatred in the girl's eyes that confused her.

Why?

Why did Yukino like Eiji so much? He was obviously a playboy!

Hayato's good guy mask sagged, his expression looked very ugly and he looked at Eiji jealously.

[Now I remember it. Didn't Hayato like Yukino's older sister Haruno? But right now, he's jealous seeing Yukino loving me so much.]

[This is somewhat different from the original work.]

At this moment, Eiji reached out his hand to hug Yukino's slender waist and pulled her to sit on his lap.

Yukino's cold face immediately changed, she looked embarrassed and blushed. Even so, she did not resist which made Hayato's breathing unstable.

He stood up from his chair and wanted to say something to persuade Yukino.

However, a hand suddenly grabbed his shoulder so he couldn't move. He thought it was Tobe, but he was wrong.

Eiji even widened his eyes because he didn't expect it before he moved—

"Hayama, you'd better stop. That girl clearly said that she doesn't want you to interfere with her affairs and relationship with Eiji."

Don't know when, Basara was already standing behind Hayato. His voice wasn't too loud or small, but it was enough to intimidate Hayato.

To be honest, Basara was not happy when Hayato spoke badly about Eiji. Although Eiji was not a very nice person, he was his brother!

Insulting him was the same as insulting Basara Toujou.

Basara's narrowed gaze made Hayato feel weak. Previously Yukino and Eiji. Now Basara? Why did he feel these people were abnormal?

Is that even a gaze that high school students have?!

"I... I understand... I'll stop."
