Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 368: Helping the protagonist’s mother

Chapter 368: Helping the protagonist's mother

Hearing that familiar voice, Sapphire turned her head only to see her son's friend.

Although Basara and Eiji were the same age... There was a wide gap between the two. Be it in terms of appearance and power, Eiji was superior.

Of course, Sapphire did not mean to compare her son because no matter how bad he was, she would love her flesh and blood in her own way.

However, it was inevitable that when looking at Eiji who was also wearing the traditional Japanese-style clothes of the inn that somewhat resembled her...

With a face that was more handsome than Basara and Jin, black hair that blended with the darkness of the night and golden eyes that seemed to be able to see through her clothes to make her feel naked.

This was probably just her feeling, she was not sure if that boy really had the ability to see through her clothes.

Even so, the usually cool-looking Sapphire stared at the man much younger than her dazedly.

Her cheeks felt a little hot. Was she blushing?

"...."

"Miss Messenger?" Eiji called out the woman's name again. Or rather that was how he called the protagonist's mother who seemed to have been mesmerized by his appearance.

It's not that Eiji is narcissistic. Well, maybe a little. But his current appearance does qualify him as the Harem King.

Because, despite losing his Saint-Galaxy Human bloodline after he became a Poison Primogenitor, Eiji still carried his peak human appearance as a Saint-Galaxy Human.

He was basically the handsomest human in the world. If there were no other male Saint-Galaxy Human as handsome as him out there, then he was the most handsome man in this universe.

His Poison Primogenitor bloodline, J?rmungandr did not increase his good looks, but it did increase the oppression that his appearance exerted on other beings far inferior to him.

Eiji was World Serpant, Primogenitor of Poison. In terms of racial seniority, the demons in this world are still inferior to him.

There is also the character card of Anos and the King of Heroes that is currently active, it makes the aura he exudes resemble a handsome and domineering Demon King and King.

Oh and let's not forget the harem halo that Miss System gave.

Whether they realize it or not, most men will naturally have a feeling of inferiority towards him.

As for the women? Many can become nymphomaniacs just because they see him. It was easy for females to be mesmerized and fall in love with his looks.

Protagonist Basara's mother, Sapphire.

[Sapphire +6]

She was also no exception.

Eiji smiled, his extremely handsome smile and the moonlight shining on his face from the side was a deadly combo for the opposite sex!

"I'm ...." Sapphire had just opened her sexy lips to reply, but saw Eiji's smile. She became dazed again and forgot to answer.

The woman's heart rate increased.

Poor Jin... Fortunately he wasn't here, he was busy traveling the world in search of the protagonist's mother. However, if he saw the scene of the woman he was looking for looking at Eiji with such an expression, he wouldn't go crazy...

The protagonist's father would at least feel green first due to the green hat placed on his head before he went crazy depending on how far Sapphire and Eiji progressed.

By then, Eiji would look back and be proud of all his green hat masterpieces. It was too late for him to retreat, he could only keep moving forward to walk the path of the Harem King.

"You, what?"

"!—" Sapphire gasped, she finally regained her sanity. She... She was almost seduced by her son's friend! Suppressing the slight guilt in Jin, she smiled faintly and said. "I was just getting some fresh air."

"Really?"

"That's... I we're in the Village of heroes after all. Even though the demons and heroes have agreed to a truce, I'm still a little worried about the safety of Demon Lord Wilbert's daughter, Mio and all of you."

She continued, "So I decided to take a walk around the inn just in case."

Hearing what Sapphire said, Eiji almost rolled his eyes.

[I believe you, Miss Messenger! Should I say that? You think I didn't see you glance at Basara's room door many times before I called you? You obviously want to talk to your son, but you're hesitant to do so.]

[But I can understand, after all it's been years since Sapphire left her son Basara and only watched him from a distance secretly. Today, she even hides her identity as a mother and introduces herself as a messenger from the Demon Realm to everyone.]

[I wonder how Basara will react when he finds out that Miss Messenger is his real mother! Sapphire must be worried about this matter.]

"...." Sapphire widened her eyes in surprise. Eiji knew?

Wait, come to think of it now she wasn't wearing her black robe and showing her face. But Eiji instantly knew she was Miss Messenger and called out to her.

She only realized it at this point!

Previously Sapphire still had doubts that Eiji knew many things that no one else in this world knew because of something called "the original work".

That boy knew the dirty things that the elders and supreme leaders of the Hero Clan were hiding, he knew the future that might happen to Celis Reinhardt...

Her son Basara is called the protagonist.

And now her true appearance and name that at least the people in this inn including her son and niece would not recognize...

Eiji really knew it!

All this time the boy had pretended not to know that she was the mother of his friend.

Sapphire looked at Eiji complicatedly. By the way Eiji understood the problem she had right now and earlier he offered his help. The help he meant was definitely about this.

Sapphire was moved...

Then, her eyes lit up.

"Is that so? I believe in you, Miss Messenger." Eiji said, he saw the protagonist's mother smile wryly.

"Eiji, you know my true identity, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't recognize my face."

"Indeed." Eiji nodded with amusement on his face. Basically he had been pretending to be stupid all this time which made Sapphire feel embarrassed.

When she became the messenger and pretended to be cold to everyone including Basara to do her duty, in his heart Eiji must be laughing at her!

Even so, Sapphire quickly calmed down and her pretty face stopped blushing. After all she was a demon who survived the great war in the past, she was a woman who had gone through many waves in her life.

Generally she wouldn't even blush like a girl from seeing the smile of a man much younger than her. However, that man was Eiji.

The opposite sex's defenses in her heart became very weak in front of him and without realizing it, she let him sneak up and threaten Jin's position in her heart.

"Then will you help me?" Sapphire stood closer and raised her head. Eiji was taller than her, she naturally did this.

However, Sapphire didn't realize her actions made Eiji more excited, especially when her fragrant smell reached the boy's nose.

Eiji observed Sapphire's beautiful face, red hair, red eyes from a closer distance. He naturally shifted his line of sight downwards, the layer of cloth covering the woman's figure unable to block his wolfish gaze, he was amazed...

The protagonist's mother is amazing!

Combined with her appearance, she had a plump and voluptuous body, her breasts were not as big as Mio's, but they were still very large...

Her smell is also very fragrant, it's somewhat similar to Mio's.

... Tsk, sorry for Basara and his father, but I will keep this woman in my harem.

[Host, please calm down! Your thoughts are almost clearly visible on your face, at least hide them well!]

[Capture this woman my King! She's so sexy, worthy of being one of your concubines.]

The women inside his head were noisy, Eiji pretended to cough and said. "I offered my help earlier. You are my friend Basara's mother. Depending on what kind of help you need from me, I'm willing to help you."

"...." Sapphire blinked her eyes. Although it was only for a moment, there was no way she could miss Eiji's heated gaze on her body.

'This boy... Don't tell me he's interested in me? I'm Basara's mother, his friend's mother, how could Eiji...!'

Sapphire was dumbfounded, but with her current positive level, instead of feeling disgusted by Eiji's interest in her, she was just dazed.

There was a slight sense of pleasure in her heart that would make Jin's expression out there ugly if he found out.

Sapphire knew from the intelligence she had gathered so far about the people around Basara, Eiji was a very lustful young man because he had a harem. Her niece, Mio was one of his harem members.

Putting the girl aside, although she didn't think much of her, she certainly didn't hate her and quite liked her because she had grown that strong at her age. Mio was truly worthy of being the daughter of her older brother, Wilbert who was known as the Strongest Devil.

... Actually, Sapphire was not too surprised when she saw Eiji's interest in her body.

She herself was aware of her beauty, even if her age... cough, no need to mention it. Demons were an ageless race and could live for thousands of years.

Before she fell in love with Jin in the past, she who was known as the Strongest Female Demon in Demon Realm certainly had many male suitors.

It was just that Sapphire rejected them all except Jin who had fought a series with her many times in the Great War, she only liked men who were stronger than her. And Jin actually won her heart because she saw him defeat the ancient dragon Fafnir in another dimension.

If not for that, Jin was actually only slightly qualified to be her man. After years of disappearing from everyone and them not seeing each other, Sapphire did not find another man...

It wasn't that she didn't want to have an affair and loved Jin so much. Yes, she loved him in the past but after years of separation and only now she had the solution to solve the problem of her son Basara's true identity with the help of Eiji who dominated the elders with his power and the ceasefire letter from her older brother.

Jin was of no help whatsoever, she knew he was busy traveling the world in search of her, but she was actually disappointed in him.

If only Jin was like Eiji who could instantly subdue everyone in the Hero Clan in no time with just his power...

Sapphire's face heated up.

In hiding for so many years, she was naturally lonely and sometimes thought about dating other men. However, it was hard to find a man handsome and stronger than her other than Jin.

At least until now where she had felt Eiji's strength in the confrontation with the elders and the four gods before. Not only was he extremely handsome, Eiji also had a power that fascinated her.

Before she was only fascinated. But now after seeing the boy's attraction to her, feeling her heart skip a beat and the passion in her body ignite like a fire burning the bottom of her stomach, Sapphire felt guilty for Jin and at the same time embarrassed to meet Basara.

After all as a mother, she was actually tempted by her son's friend!

'Wait, what exactly am I thinking?! Even if I'm interested, it's not the right time!'

Eiji didn't know his hot gaze made the protagonist's mother think so much of him.

He only knew that the woman's positive level increased again by a few points from the notification Leme displayed.

Looking at Sapphire's positive level, Eiji was even more excited that he was almost there.

"Basara really has a good friend, I'm happy for him." Sapphire smiled softly. That smile would make any man who knew her surprised.

Especially Jin... Ahem, forget about him.

For now Eiji had the urge to open a new room at the inn and talk about things about lonely men and women with Sapphire.

However, he had to be patient... At least don't show a depraved expression and drool like some certain protagonists.

As Miss System often said.

Watch your image...!

So he just smiled wryly and showed a cool yare-yare protagonist expression.

[Host, do you like yare-yare protagonists?]

'Miss System, be quiet for a moment. Don't interrupt your host's conversation with the protagonist's mother or we'll never finish. I'm being serious here.'

[...]

"So, what kind of favor is that?" Eiji asked.

"Ah that..." Sapphire wanted to say shouldn't you already know? After all, you just said it in your inner voice. However, she was stunned as she felt a certain force preventing her from speaking.

She seemed to be forbidden to tell things that would let Eiji know she could hear his inner voice. Such information magically flowed in her brain.

Why?

Sapphire didn't know, nor did she know why she could even hear Eiji's inner voice.

Maybe this was fate? Well...

Actually Sapphire rather believed there was a third person out there.

Whatever it was, it didn't seem to have any malicious intent on her and Eiji.

And Eiji, he still wanted to pretend not to know. She had to say it herself and at the same time play along.

"Since you already know my identity, then it will be faster, I don't know how much you know about me. But let me introduce myself first, my name is Sapphire. I'm Demon Lord Wilbert's younger sister, his aunt Mio and mother Basara."

Sapphire placed one of her hands on her large chest as she said that.

Eiji nodded and teased the woman. "I already knew that. But Sapphire huh? Your name is pretty."

"...."

Sapphire's lips twitched, now she was 100% sure Eiji was interested in her. 'Oh my! What am I supposed to do about this? Also, I'm obviously the older one. This boy dares to call my name intimately and even flirts with me...'

She pretended to cough to hide her embarrassment before saying, "This is about Basara, actually he has never met his mother. All this time he was raised by his father... I had a conversation with him when he was 7 years old, but I did it under another identity... and erased his memory so that he would forget my appearance back then."

"You erased your son's memories? What an interesting plot. Basara has a protagonist template."

[Although he really is the protagonist.]

"Eiji, are you mocking me? Let me tell you, back then the demons and heroes were just pretending to have a truce. The situation wasn't as good as it is now. So my identity as Basara's mother had to be hidden for the boy's safety." Sapphire narrowed her eyes, she was not angry but annoyed which made her frown.

And that face actually looked cute. For an older woman to show such an expression...

Eiji wanted to hug Sapphire, but that action was too shameless... This level was not enough, he still had to increase further first.

"No, I understand your difficulty. Continue."

"...." Sapphire glanced at the door to Basara's room before turning her gaze that now contained a hint of sadness back to Eiji. "Since you're Basara's friend and I've seen you two have a good relationship..."

Sapphire had no idea Eiji was so good to her son because of her.

Eiji wasn't planning on telling that woman of course. Being an honest person was good, but in this life, some things also had to be kept secret sometimes. As long as it was fine and didn't harm others and oneself, let the misunderstanding continue to flow until it became true in everyone's eyes.

"I remember asking for your help to introduce me to Basara. I thought if it was through you, Eiji. Basara wouldn't have been so surprised and wouldn't have reacted so badly to the mother who had abandoned him for so many years."

"Are you able to do it?"

Eiji didn't answer right away, but held his chin while enjoying the nervous gaze of the protagonist's mother.

Right now, he felt like he had taken the villain script from a certain novel.

He smiled and said, "I can do it, but I..."

"But what?" Sapphire looked at Eiji in confusion. Could it be that he just didn't want to help her? It wasn't like he said before!

However, before she was disappointed, she noticed the boy's heated gaze on her body.

Sapphire widened her red eyes, the expression on her beautiful face seemed to have guessed something.

This boy... Don't tell me he...

"If I help you. What will I get? Don't get me wrong, I don't mind helping my friend's mom, even without any reward. But if there's a reward, I'll be more motivated to do it."

[How old is Sapphire? Even though she's the protagonist's mother, she looks like a woman in her twenties. She's very pretty and hormone-filled teenagers like me can't help but be attracted when looking at her figure, especially her red hair which is similar to Mio's.]

[I feel a little guilty for Basara, but... I'm interested in his mother. I wonder if Sapphire likes younger men? I know over the past years she's been separated from the protagonist's father, Jin Toujou.]

[So... Isn't this alright? I won't force her like a hentai protagonist of course. I just want to offer her a mutually beneficial deal if she agrees.]
