Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 430: The blackened protagonist

Chapter 430: The blackened protagonist

Five seconds passed since a loud explosion occurred right in front of her, Sora who naturally closed her eyes was confused.

Why?

It was because she didn't feel the slightest pain.

And what was most surprising when Sora opened her eyes was that she saw the back of her mother who had blocked Ilia's attack with a magic barrier.

For an original Astil Manuscript like his mother, blocking a full-level attack from the third Chapter of the Ilias Fragment was a piece of cake.

But...

"Mother, you're here?" Sora was dumbfounded! Today was full of surprises.

It was true that before Ilia's attack was unleashed, she heard her mother's voice that seemed to be talking to that Demon Lord from another world, Eiji.

Normally it was impossible for a gremoire like her to mishear. But who knew that the black cube holding her hands, feet and magic was making her hallucinate? That sneaky Ilia probably mixed some drugs in her magic.

Turns out she was wrong. Her mother was really coming to help her! But how? Before they teleported to the Royal Liber Academy with everyone else.

Sora didn't see the woman.

She thought Radix was still being held at the Royal Biblia Academy and was heavily guarded by the girls in Eiji's group because of what she did yesterday.

Sora didn't know at that time she didn't see her mother because that woman only appeared by Eiji's side after she, Arata and Mira were teleported to another dimension. Eiji used Anos' magic that could connect two spaces simultaneously to teleport Radix from the dorm room.

By the way besides his mother. Not far from them were also Eiji and the tsundere girl, Mira.

"Yes my daughter, I came here. How did you end up in such a miserable situation just because of the Third Chapter of the Ilia Fragment?" Radix turned around and gave Sora a flat look. She waved her hand and instantly all the black cubes sealing the girl's hands and feet shattered into pieces.

Sora who fell to the floor blushed. She was like an elementary school child who got a bad grade in her school exam and her mother was angry because of it.

"That..." Sora suddenly pointed at Ilia who was standing stupidly, "That's because Ilia is sneaky, mother. She did a trick that caught me off guard so she could seal me away!"

"Eehh!" The pointed and blamed Ilia screamed and wanted to refute Sora's accusation. But what Sora said was true, she couldn't defeat the girl honestly because she was a support-type gremoire.

She had to use cunning methods to win against Sora.

She almost succeeded unfortunately she failed. Now not only Sora's mother, the real Astil Manuscript came.

Ilia's gaze fell on the handsome boy staring at her from the side. That guy, he has the same magic fluctuations as the one who froze her dimension.

Seeing Eiji smiling at her. Instead of blushing and feeling in love, what Ilia felt was only fear.

Hijiri, help me! Ilia shouted with despair in her heart.

After a little talk with her daughter, Radix turned her gaze to Ilia.

Ilia stepped back with a slightly trembling body. "I didn't expect the original Astil Manuscript to come and she seems to have gotten a new master."

As a fellow legendary gremoire, she knew Radix was a gremoire created by the True Magic King.

That woman was like a senior among seniors among gremoire.

Radix raised her eyebrows, she wanted to argue and say that she was only following Eiji.

That boy wasn't her master yet! Wait, not yet? Does that mean he will become the master later?

Radix was confused by her own thought process. Before she answered—

"Eiji, you came too! And Mira... You, what are you wearing?"

Arata was certainly happy that Radix had come to rescue Sora. Even though that woman was previously their enemy. She seemed to have sided with Eiji because she followed the boy's orders which made him feel uncomfortable.

The feeling was subtle, just like the first time he saw Lieselote kiss Eiji.

But put that aside. What was more important and made him feel more uneasy was....

The clothes Mira was wearing. It was a boy's shirt, right? And underneath she didn't seem to be wearing anything...

Normally Arata would have perverted thoughts but when he saw Mira not only wearing such clothes but also hiding behind Eiji.

Huh? What was going on? Why did he feel that both of them seemed ambiguous?

Perhaps because the Magic King Element inside his body was unstable and almost out of control, Arata's heart was pounding so hard that his blood flow was running abnormally.

"Impure man, stop staring at me! About my clothes... I-It was torn, so Eiji lent me his clothes." Mira was a little annoyed that Arata was staring at her without blinking.

She didn't want to let her body that wasn't wearing anything but Eiji's school shirt be seen by other men. Eiji was fine because he had seen her naked before and she only felt embarrassed about it.

Isn't this unfair to Arata and other men? Mira didn't care.

She blushed when she remembered what happened in the hallway, and didn't want to explain the details to Arata.

Mira didn't realize her words and blushing face when she said the last part made Arata think of all sorts of things.

The protagonist's expression looked ugly, Eiji tried to hold back a smile.

[Host, you're smiling from when you saw Mira naked in the hallway.]

Miss System, be quiet for a moment. You don't need to explain that. Otherwise, people will think your host is a pervert.

[.....]

Miss System wants to say that many people know her host is a pervert. But this guy is pretending to be stupid as usual. So forget it, she was too lazy to continue this topic.

"Well Arata, there were some accidents that happened between me and Mira. As a man, you shouldn't ask sensitive things to a girl like you did to Lilith yesterday." Eiji added with words that were ambiguous and easy to make people misunderstand.

Mira's face was getting redder she pinched Eiji's waist. However, her actions made it even easier for people to misunderstand that she and Eiji had done something fun!

Eiji also reminded Arata of the scene where the boy asked what happened between him and Lilith yesterday morning.

There was no way Lilith would say that she swallowed his yogurt, right? She didn't want to tell Arata.

"S-Sensitive?! Eiji, what exactly happened between you and..."

Arata, whose hands and feet were still restrained by Ilia's black cube, stared at Eiji and Mira blankly. Eiji's words were very effective in stimulating something inside him.

He lowered his head until his bangs covered his eyes.

"...." Ilia wondered if she could use this opportunity to escape? Although she was the villain in this drama, she felt neglected.

Instead of being happy, she felt a little uncomfortable. Ilia felt it would be better if these people scolded her and beat her until she gave up.

If Hijiri knew what Ilia was thinking. She would probably wonder if her gremoire was stupid? Don't just stand there, run! Use the back door or your teleportation magic, Ilia!

At this moment, Sora suddenly shouted in panic. "Master, stay calm! Don't think of anything strange! I'm sure the tsundere girl and the Demon Lord from another world are just..."

Just what? Sora honestly wasn't sure what happened between Eiji and Mira before they came here either.

She looked at her mother as if asking for her help to explain because the woman probably knew what really happened.

After all, Radix came with Eiji, but it was too late...

*Boom!!!*

Another explosion for the day.

Everyone except Eiji gasped. They stared at Arata who suddenly exploded with the Magic King Element around him in horror.

[I suddenly want to eat Grayfia's apple pie.]

For the sake of justice. Eiji, this is not the time to think about food!

And who is that woman named Grayfia? Your other lover?

Mira gritted her teeth, she didn't realize that she was a little jealous...

Radix barely reacted to Eiji's inner voice, she was staring at the Magic King Element that swallowed Arata's body with the gaze of a thief.

Magic King Element! If only she could get it for her master...

On the other side.

*Ding!*

The kitchen of Eiji's house.

The sound of the oven that had finished baking rang out.

A beautiful silver-haired woman in a maid uniform, Grayfia put on heatproof gloves and opened the oven door. Then, she took out the apple pie that she happened to have just made when Eiji's inner voice of wanting it

was heard.

"What a coincidence, I just made an apple pie for the others. Should I cut some pieces for Eiji-sama?"

"But how do I send it?"

That guy is playing in another world anyway, he hasn't been home for three days... Cough, sorry. I mean he's on a mission to save the other world.

"Hnn~ What a delicious smell. Forget about the guy who's on an adventure with my daughter and the others. Grayfia, can I get two pieces?"

Sheila used her spatial ability and suddenly appeared in front of the table. She asked Grayfia while standing on tiptoe because it would be rude if she teleported on the table, right?

Grayfia was not surprised by the appearance of the legal loli succubus, she professionally cut the pie into pieces and served it to the plate.

The pie was big enough for more than 10 people to eat.

With the number of people living in Eiji's house. Any meal was made with larger portions. This was a normal thing in the Seiya household.

Even more so if Eiji continued to increase the number of women in his harem. Grayfia and the other maids had to work hard.

Grayfia did not forbid Eiji from wooing the women in the other world.

But...!

At least add women who are ready to join the maid corps to lighten their workload.

Although Grayfia liked doing her maid work because it was her hobby that didn't need to be paid. Ladies like Jeanne, Meredith, Nyx, Lucia, Noel and others were different.

...

When Sheila was busy eating Grayfia's apple pie in the living room while watching TV with Ophis and several other women.

Eiji didn't know Grayfia's handmade apple pie that he wanted was being eaten with gusto by the women in his house.

Did none of them tell him? If there was, he could teleport to his house to take one piece before continuing the plot!

"Arata-san... W-What's wrong with you? Is that you?"

Looking at Arata's now bleached hair and his clothes that changed into black-robed armor and a mask covering his face.

Ilia was so shocked that she lost her balance and fell to the icy cold floor.

Above the sky, there was also a black sun that appeared and slowly sucked in the ruins of the Royal Liber Academy and made the dimension he created unstable.

That was the breakdown phenomenon.

Arata's breakdown phenomenon!

"We're too late, my master's body is being taken over by the Astral Trinity." Sora said with nervousness on her cute face.

"Astral Trinity?" Mira asked in confusion, she was still hiding and looking at Arata from behind Eiji. She didn't realize that now she could use her magic again and could create new clothes because the barrier created by Ilia had been destroyed by Eiji's magic.

Sora's lips twitched. Whose fault was this? It was clearly Mira and Eiji's fault for making her master's mind filled with negativity.

Even so, Sora didn't dare say it directly, especially when Eiji was there.

"That is the entity of the Magic King residing inside the body of the Magic King Candidate whose destiny is to destroy the world. Not all Magic King Candidates have such an entity, but this Arata Kasuga is rather special. He seems to have inherited a small part of my master's power."

Before Sora could answer, Radix replied with a hint of surprise in her voice.

"So Arata suffers from multiple personalities?"

"...."

The harsh question came from Eiji which made them silent for a moment. What he said was not wrong but the way he said it made Arata look like a mentally ill person.

Of course Eiji was just pretending not to know, he knew a lot about the Astral Trinity from the original work.

At this moment, Arata... No, Astral Trinity took off his mask and looked at everyone coldly.

Not only had his hair turned white. His eye color had also turned silver and his skin was extremely pale. Below his right eye was a vein crack that extended to his claw-like hand.

The dark-looking Magic King Element swirled around him but the energy was perfectly controlled.

This man's control of the Magic King Element was clearly better than Arata's.

Astral Trinity raised his eyebrows, he seemed to be annoyed at what Eiji said.

"What gremoire said is true. Compared to that boy, I'm the real ruler who will surpass the True Magic King. I don't suffer from multiple personalities because from now on this body belongs to me." Astral Trinity said coldly, especially when his gaze fell on Eiji.

Ilia's face paled when she heard what Astral Trinity said. "No, there's no way Arata-san has..."

Radix snorted, "Arrogant! You are indeed strong. But compared to my master and this man, you're just-"

"Oh Radix, you finally recognize me as your master? You called me 'master' twice, I'm very happy." Eiji said shamelessly, he immediately ignored Astral Trinity and looked at Radix.

Radix was stunned, her face slightly flushed with embarrassment at what she had spontaneously said. "No. I'm just telling the truth according to my analysis. When did I call you master twice?"

"You just said it."

"Huh? That was...?"

Radix's algorithm was messed up, she was at a loss for what to say.

Seeing the woman being toyed with by Eiji's words. Sora couldn't help but be amazed at Eiji because this was the first time she saw her mother not know what to say.

"You guys... Can you guys be more serious! That impure man's body, Arata-san is being controlled by the Astral Trinity!"

Although Mira didn't particularly like Arata, her theme and personality made her unable to simply ignore him.

Astral Trinity who felt the existence of being ignored by Eiji and Radix felt humiliated. He glanced at Ilia, Mira and the other women with a smirk on his face.

Astral Trinity had just woken up, so he didn't know how strong Eiji was from Arata's memories. The two were different individuals.

"You say I'm arrogant, gremoire? Then I'll let you all feel my power."

Astral Trinity raised his gaze slightly arrogantly.

Just from his gaze, anti-magic power was released.

Not only magic, since Arata was the protagonist of the harem, he also had a unique ability similar to Issei. This means that the women who are hit by his anti-magic, their clothes will also be torn off!

However, how could Eiji let Mira and Radix be stripped naked by other men? Sora and Ilia too...

As a somewhat decent man, he should protect them.

"!!!"

At this moment, all the women and Astral Trinity himself were shocked.

The air in front of them exploded as invisible anti-magic and anti-magic collided.

However, in the eyes of the mages and legendary gremoire, they could see black and white colored magic colliding and obliterating each other.

Black magic is the Astral Trinity's Magic King Element.

While the white colored magic...it belonged to Eiji who stood in front of the women.

"That anti-magic technique. You... why do you have it too?" Astral Trinity asked in confusion.

Their magic colors might be different, but the technique the man in front of her used was definitely the same as hers!

He released anti-magic from his gaze which then made their magic obliterate each other.

Astral Trinity didn't know. But if Eiji got a little serious and unleashed more of the Varvatos magic power he used this time, all the magic including this dimension would vanish.

By the way, Astral Trinity just realized that the black sun he created in the sky had disappeared. His breakdown phenomenon had vanished!

Realizing something was not in his favor, a bead of sweat dripped down the Magic King's forehead. Especially when his gaze met with Eiji's eyes that were glowing red like the moon now appearing in the sky.

Mira, Radix, Sora and Ilia realized Astral Trinity's breakdown phenomenon was not destroyed, but had been replaced!
