My Inner Voice Heard By Heroines

Chapter 12 The Heroines Took The Initiative

?[Host, you did it on purpose, right?]

On the way, the car Riser was driving drove leisurely on the road. There was no rush as Riser himself seemed to be enjoying the view of the city from inside his car.

He even hummed occasionally and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

"What do you mean, system?" Riser asked with a smirk on his face.

[You obviously weren't embarrassed enough to immediately leave Sona before.]

"As expected of you, system. That's right, I did it on purpose."

[Why? Wouldn't it be nice if you were more excited when Sona thanked you? You could use that opportunity to make a promise date or something. It's a good chance to snatch one of the heroines from Issei.]

Is it just me or is this system becoming more talkative?

Riser realized this and he also felt that the sound of the system became more human, less mechanical as before.

[Cough, just forget about my question, host.]

"...How could I forget it? My memory got better after becoming a rank five martial artist." Riser said seriously.

[.....]

[Host... Please don't joke. Can you just forget about this matter?]

Riser chuckled at what his system said. Don't know why, but this system seemed to want to avoid being considered a living being.

"Well system, it's hard to forget your question. So I'll answer it honestly." Riser's smile grew wider as he said that and continued, "I don't want to be a dog licker, I want someone else to do it to me."

System was stunned for a moment, he understood what his host really wanted.

[Host wants to make the heroine chase you?]

Riser nodded, not denying that. It was actually because of this that he ignored Rias, feigned reluctance when invited by Grayfia, and wasn't too enthusiastic when Sona thanked him.

This was just psychological training, he wanted to psychologically train the heroines to take more initiative to contact him. Basically he wants the heroines to be his dogs and prove their loyalty first.

After all, with the protagonist's halo, it is not impossible for the heroine who has a good impression of him to suddenly turn her back halfway through. It is possible that heroine could betray him at any time for Issei.

Riser hasn't let his guard down and he is the careful type. If this were a novel, readers might be annoyed at his passive actions.

But so what? He, Riser, lives in this brainless novel world. There was nothing wrong with being cautious for fear of someone stabbing you in the back, especially if it was the heroine who was originally set to become an Issei woman.

He should at least look at the situation first, he wanted to see how far heroine disliked protagonist.

And see if there was any chance of them getting back together? If the possibility of that happening is still great, it's better to hold off until you're absolutely sure.

There's also the heroine's behavior that doesn't fit the plot, even though Issei did his part right.

Riser doesn't know why these heroines differ from the plot. While that's good, there will always be a sense of curiosity in his heart when thinking about this.

[Host, you're too paranoid.]

Riser rolled his eyes. "It's okay that being a paranoid person can make you live longer than other people."

The system was speechless about that, so she changed the topic to something else.

[Host, want to grab a reward now?]

"Oh? I almost forgot about that. Hurry up and give me my reward, system!"

Riser was as excited as if he was about to open a Christmas present from Santa. He parked his car on the side of the road and opened the system interface.

[Ding! You successfully survived the plot, you obtained god-level medical skills. Congratulations! You are the first rich second generation to have god-level medical skills. Now besides you, no one in this world can match your medical skills, including the protagonist Issei and his master.]

Before Riser was about to react, his head was suddenly hit by a lot of information about medical skills. This included knowledge of medicines, plants, and various treatment methods including acupuncture techniques stronger than Issei's.

It took 5 minutes for Riser to digest all that knowledge. Now he blinked his eyes a few times and muttered.

"System, I love you."

[Sorry, but system is actually a boy.]

"WHAT!!!"

Riser almost hit his head on the steering wheel, he probably heard wrong. Yes, there must be something wrong with his ears. Being a rank five martial artist does not mean you are immune to deafness.

"System, you're joking, right?"

[Pffft! Hahaha yes, I'm joking. System has no gender, please don't say your affection for me, host. You'll make people misunderstand and they'll meow.]

Riser sighed, he was relieved that his system wasn't a man who was actually just talking remotely to him. If it was a woman it would be fine, but if it was a man. He might not want to get too close to him and would keep his distance from him.

By the way this system was becoming more and more humanized, she even knew how to joke now.

What really happened to my system?

Did she secretly upgrade herself?

As Riser wondered about the strangeness his system, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Someone was calling him and seeing the name of the person calling on the screen, he made a slightly surprised face.

This woman finally took the initiative.

He pressed the call accept button, but he didn't speak first and let the other party do it.

"Hello Riser... Um... where are you?" Rias' voice came over the phone.

Yes, the person calling him was his fiancé, Rias Gremory.

Riser smiled slightly and answered in an indifferent voice. "I'm outside. This is the first time you've called me, is there something important?"

"I... Can't I call you when there's nothing important? I'm your fiancé..."

"Oh..." Riser made little sound at the last part. It was clear that his voice did not sound happy or sad at all.

In a certain company in Kuoh city that has a 24-story building with a beautiful and elegant design.

It is a well-known multinational cosmetics company in Japan. Apart from domestically, the cosmetic products produced by this company have also spread overseas. In just 2 years, this company that started from scratch has grown into a company worth over 400 million.

The name of the company is Rhitea and the founder and CEO of the company is Rias Gremory.

It is rumored that the daughter of the Gremory family has started her own business without the help of her family connections. Not sure if it is true or not, but many people believe that it is.

Especially when you look at Rias Gremory's very beautiful and classy appearance, people often say "As expected of Gremory's daughter, apart from being beautiful, she is also very talented".

Something like that.

Now inside her company's office.

Rias had a stiff expression on her face as she had a phone call with Riser.

This was when she had taken the initiative to call her fiancé for the first time and the other party's response to her sounded indifferent. Very different from the response she expected.

The expression on her face reflected her current sad and complicated mood. The uncomfortable feeling of hearing Riser's indifferent tone left her not knowing what to say.

After all, it was usually people who often took the initiative on her, especially the previous Riser where he was still her dog licker. So she had always been on the receiving end all this time and when her position was reversed she became confused.

What should I do after receiving such a response from Riser? If it was before she wouldn't care to think too much and would hang up because she didn't like talking to Riser.

But now? Now she was confused and didn't know what to do. Actually the reason she called Riser was because of her insecurities, especially when she found out that Riser might be close to a woman other than her. And that woman was most likely the heroine! A woman who has the same heroine status as herself and has a beauty that is not inferior to her.

This made her feel a sense of crisis and feel like someone was going to take something away from her. Obviously she doesn't want that to happen!

"Is there nothing else you want to talk about? Then I'll hang up." Riser's still indifferent voice sounded from the phone.

Rias panicked hearing Riser about to hang up and hurriedly said, "Wait!"

"Yes?"

"That's... I... Ugh, why haven't you contacted me lately?" Rias asked about this subconsciously, and she regretted it.

Because after she asked that Riser hung up at that very moment.

The ringtone of the disconnected phone was clearly heard in her quiet office.

Rias was dumbfounded and she looked at her phone in a daze.

"Did I say something wrong and make Riser angry?"

Her nose was inexplicably sore.

She needed someone to tell her what was wrong, and what to do to keep Riser from being cold to her.

At this moment the employees in the company had no idea what expression their boss was making in her office.

If they knew, they would be dumbfounded.

...

[Host, are you not overdoing it?]

After hanging up from Rias, Riser laughed and shook his head.

"Rias should start learning that one should not just accept, she should also take the initiative if she really wants something."

[But what if Rias hates you after this?]

"Then so be it. There are many beautiful women in this world anyway, why should I tie myself to a tree that doesn't suit my tastes."

His predecessor had pursued Rias for 3 years and was always coldly rejected by Rias. Since Riser received the memories of his predecessor, he also felt what his predecessor had experienced as he was rejected many times by Rias.

This naturally made him uncomfortable and perhaps a little resentful of Rias. But since it was the setting of the plot that Rias was supposed to dislike Riser because she was the heroine, while Riser was the villain.

Now that Riser is going to give Rias a chance to redeem herself, he wants her to learn how to please him. And this is also a small revenge that Rias should receive from him.

At least he wasn't cruel enough to kill Rias or perform violent acts on her just because of his predecessor's rather painful memories.

"System, as a villain am I still too soft?"

[Host, being a villain in a novel doesn't mean you have to do bad things. If you're too evil, eventually someone will meow. So please just do it in moderation.]

"...."

Riser nodded at the villain's lecture from his system.

He understood.

*Ding*

His cell phone suddenly rang again, Riser raised his eyebrows.

"Is Rias already learning so fast?"

"Hah, it's not Rias."

Looking at the name of the person calling.

"It's Grayfia! Oh, right, I almost forgot about that meal together." Riser said jokingly.

Of course he actually remembered the appointment with Grayfia, he was just deliberately waiting for the other party to call to remind him.

Receiving the phone call, Grayfia's voice was immediately heard.

"Mr. Riser, you didn't forget about our dining appointment, did you? Are you available tonight?"

"Tonight... Okay, I can. Where is the location?" Riser asked hesitantly.

"It's at the Blue Star, 7pm. I'll send the address via message." Grayfia said calmly.

"Okay, I'll come there later."

"Then I'll wait for you there, Mr. Riser."

After the call ended, Riser immediately drove his car to his house.

He had to get ready to go to dinner with Grayfia later.

On the way home, Riser somehow felt himself using the template of an scumbag who had dinner with another woman even though he already had a fiancée.

Feeling a little guilty, but he would still do it as planned.

...

Night.

Blue Star Restaurant.

This is one of Japan's famous five-star restaurants located in the eastern part of Kuoh city.

At this time, inside the restaurant.

Grayfia had reserved a table and was waiting for Riser who had yet to arrive.

Her presence there was already making a lot of eyes on her.

Why? Of course because Grayfia's appearance is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Grayfia wore a blue evening gown that looked beautiful, revealing her slender arms and slightly exposed thighs. Her silver hair was down and untied, making her beauty even more mesmerizing to the audience.

Seeing such a beautiful woman sitting at the dining table alone, the men in the restaurant had certain thoughts in their heads.

Grayfia checked her cell phone clock and it was already 10 minutes past the time she had agreed with Riser.

"Maybe he's on his way and got stuck in traffic." Grayfia muttered without realizing that someone was approaching her table.

When she realized it, she frowned.

"Hello pretty lady, why are you eating alone? How about I accompany you?" said a rather handsome young man in an expensive suit.

It was obvious from his appearance that the man was a wealthy second generation.

Looking at the man's fiery gaze that was not hidden when looking at her.

Grayfia was naturally unhappy and wanted to drive the other party away.

"Go away, I'm waiting for someone." Grayfia said coldly and her gaze was cold as she looked at the man.

"Alas, pretty lady, why so cold? Maybe the person you're waiting for won't come. How about I take his place? I can accompany you better than the person you're waiting for." The man said with a fake polite smile that hid his perverted smile.

Grayfia could see it clearly, seeing that the man was about to sit in Riser's chair.

She was angry and wondered what happened to the security guards in this restaurant? Usually such things never happen.

Grayfia was about to scream to call restaurant security and forcibly remove this disgusting man.

But before she did, she heard someone familiar scream.

"Bastard, stay away from my wife! Otherwise, I'll break your dog's legs!!!"

Grayfia was dumbfounded to see who was coming.

Why was Issei here?!
