Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice Chapter 1104: Shiniki no Campioness

A day has passed since Alice joined Eiji’s harem. She’s even moved into Eiji’s mansion and gotten to know Erica and her other sisters better. She’s also joined the group chat and found out that the steamy night she spent with Eiji earlier was watched by a lot of people!

Although she felt very embarrassed at first, Alice soon calmed down because it wasn’t just her—Erica and the other women in the chat group all had their own embarrassing videos.

At that moment.

*Clang! Clang! Clang!*

Two beautiful women were dueling with swords in the mansion’s backyard. One of them is Erica, and the other is Makoto.

A short while ago, the former asked the latter to spar with her. Erica knew Makoto was a swordswoman, so she wanted to see how their skills compared.

That’s why, dressed in sportswear consisting of sports bras and tight pants that accentuate their respective alluring curves, the two are currently fighting.

Using pure physical strength, without magic or spiritual power, both moved incredibly fast and looked like shadows.

However, Eiji, Liliana, Alice, and the other women watching from the second-floor balcony could still see their movements clearly.

Every time Erica attacked with her family’s sword techniques, she unleashed a barrage of lightning-fast thrusts aimed at Makoto’s vital points.

Makoto moved with great grace and agility. She managed to parry each of Erica’s rapid thrusts with minimalist, circular movements of her katana. She didn’t waste any energy; each parry was efficient and calculated.

“A beautiful and passionate technique,” Makoto praised between the clangs of the swords. “But your attacks are too rushed by your desire to win.”

Feeling that her attacks were being read, Erica changed her rhythm. She took a step back, then executed a feint—pretending to aim for Makoto’s leg, but quickly redirecting a lateral slash toward her neck. It was an advanced technique she often used to outwit experienced knights.

Makoto’s eyes widened slightly, admiring Erica’s improvisation. However, instead of stepping back to dodge, she stepped forward toward Erica’s blind spot.

With a smooth yet incredibly fast hand movement, Makoto twisted the blade of her sword. The back of her katana struck the side of Erica’s rapier with just the right amount of pressure, deflecting her slash so it whizzed harmlessly into the open air.

Erica was startled as she felt her balance falter. Before she could regain her footing to counterattack, a silver shadow had already flashed before her eyes.

*Wush*

The world seemed to stop spinning for Erica. A gentle breeze blew, carrying strands of her cut blonde hair.

Erica froze. A sharp, icy sensation ran down the skin of her neck. The sharp tip of Makoto’s katana had come to rest exactly one millimeter in front of the artery in her neck. Just one more small movement from her, and this battle would end fatally.

The title of Raiden Shogun is more than just a name.

It represents a nation’s ultimate combat power.

Erica’s breath came in gasps; her full chest rose and fell with exhaustion and shock. However, slowly, a look of awe spread across her face. She lowered her rapier to the ground as a sign of surrender.

“Amazing…” Erica stared intently at the katana blade pressed against her neck. “I was completely defeated. You didn’t even move a single step from your starting position, Makoto-san.”

If that had been a real fight, Makoto would have already beheaded her. Even with the buff from the Master-Servant contract, which had boosted her strength and speed, she was unable to defeat the purple-haired woman in a pure sword fight.

“Good fight, Erica. Your technique is truly extraordinary and suits you perfectly. If you can combine your composure with your speed, your sword will be unstoppable. You lost only because of the difference in experience between us.”

Makoto hadn’t broken a sweat. Like a senior, she pointed out some of Erica’s shortcomings.

She slowly drew her katana, sheathed it again with an elegant click, then smiled warmly.

Erica sighed, then wiped the sweat from her cheek. “It seems I still have a lot to learn.”

*Clap! Clap! Clap!*

The sound of applause rang out, and both of them turned to look at the only man sitting on the balcony.

“My women aren’t just incredibly beautiful—they’re also incredibly strong!”

It was Eiji.

Throughout the previous fight, his gaze had actually been fixed only on the curves of Erica and Makoto’s bodies.

It was a beautiful sight.

“Erica, your fencing technique just now was truly deadly. But to be honest, the best part of your entire attack was how your blonde hair fluttered along the curves of your body as you spun. That was so… sexy.”

Before Erica could reply, Eiji had already shifted his gaze toward the first Archon of Inazuma. “And Makoto… the composure you showed while parrying that rapier just now was so elegant. But seeing how your purple hair remained flawlessly neat even after moving that fast? You’re truly a goddess—your beauty makes it almost impossible for me to look away.”

Just like Erica and the other women, Makoto fell silent.

She was pleased to hear his praise, but why did it seem like his focus was solely on her beauty?

Makoto felt a little embarrassed.

She also refrained from arguing about the first thing Eiji had said earlier.

When did she become his woman?

“Eiji, you’re shameless. Makoto-san hasn’t agreed to join your harem yet, has she? Don’t go claiming she’s your woman.”

Erica folded her arms beneath her breasts and scolded Eiji. Even though she was also pleased by his compliment.

“That’ll happen sooner or later, right, Makoto?” Eiji unashamedly asked the woman who was the subject of the conversation directly.

He wasn’t the shy or tsundere type of protagonist.

If he likes someone, he’ll say it straight out, just like he’s doing now.

Makoto’s cheeks flushed slightly; she stared at Eiji’s handsome face from where she stood, dumbfounded. “This… Maybe?”

For some reason, she couldn’t bring herself to say no firmly. Instead, she gave the man hope that she might become one of his women.

If Ei knew this, she’d be surprised.

“Did you hear that, Erica? Makoto gave me the green light; I just need to sweet-talk her again later.”

“You… My king, the way you pursue a woman is way too obvious. But I like it.”

Erica made a helpless expression, and suddenly said something that sounded flirty.

Compared to a tsundere like Godou, Eiji was her type. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so easily won over by him in the past.

For Eiji’s sake, she was even willing to share him with other women and have group sex.

[Erica always knows how to say things that are beautiful and pleasing to men’s ears. Any man who gets to marry her is lucky.]

[Wait, isn’t that me? Hahaha, I’m so lucky.]

The women: “….”

You’re so cheerful, Eiji.

Erica smiled charmingly.

That’s right, Eiji. You’re so lucky to have a fiancée like me.

As a seductive atmosphere enveloped the courtyard and the second-floor balcony, some women—like Liliana, Mariya, and Ena—even felt resentful.

Ena wanted to jump off the balcony to challenge Makoto to a sparring match with her too, so that Eiji would praise her. But before she could do so, Arianna’s voice came from behind her.

“Eiji-sama! Eiji-sama! You have a phone call!”

The maid had somehow grabbed the cordless home phone from another room and walked back to the balcony.

“A phone call? From whom?” Eiji had no idea who was calling him.

This morning, he hadn’t even used Future Insight or Rasiel to find out what plots were available starting today.

“The other party said he’s the governor of Hyogo Prefecture.” Arianna said with a somewhat strange expression.

A governor!?

Mariya, Ena, and Liliana were a little surprised.

Alice, Luo Hao, and the other women fell silent. They wondered what a governor from another prefecture could possibly want that would make him call Eiji.

Eiji took the phone from Maria’s hand and held it to his ear. “You’re now speaking with the head of the Seiya family, Eiji Seiya.”

“….” The women.

Calling yourself the head of the family…

Does that mean we’re your wives, Eiji?

Their lips twitched.

As for Eiji’s casual tone when speaking to a governor, none of them gave it a second thought.

After all, a governor is still just an ordinary person compared to a Campione like Eiji. Even if the president of a country himself were to contact Eiji by phone, it would be the other party who must be humble and polite first.

Otherwise, they’d have to worry that a Campione like Eiji, Luo Hao, and the others would destroy them.

{Your Majesty, I apologize for disturbing you.}

The governor’s voice on the other end of the line sounded polite; he addressed Eiji as if he were the president of his own country.

“When you called me, I was enjoying my time with my women. So, whether I forgive you or not… that depends on what you want to tell me.”

Eiji wasn’t humble at all; he displayed the same arrogance as the other Campiones.

{That…! I’m truly sorry. Your Majesty, I contacted you directly because I wanted to ask for your help regarding an unusual problem in my territory.)

The governor panicked; he hurriedly explained why he had contacted a Campione.

“Oh? What kind of problem is it?”

Eiji pretended not to know, even though he already had a hunch. However, he hadn’t expected someone like the governor to take the initiative to inform him about it.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the city of Kobe was one of the municipalities in Hyogo Prefecture.

Alice raised an eyebrow.

She had a guess that was more or less the same as Eiji’s. The issue the governor was referring to was likely related to her prediction from a few days ago.

{Early yesterday morning, a spatial distortion appeared on Harbor Island, an artificial island in the city of Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture. Its diameter was about 100 meters. So far, there have been no signs that the spatial distortion has disappeared… At first, I wanted to ask for help from this country’s Ministry of Defense, but I realized that this isn’t something ordinary humans can handle. I need the help of a Campione like you, Your Majesty.}

{I beg you.}

The governor pleaded with Eiji.

He was so humble.

“Hmm…” Eiji rubbed his chin; he didn’t agree right away, which made Mariya want to pinch him.

She certainly wanted her man to agree to tackle the supernatural problems plaguing her country. But she held back.

“I’ll forgive you for the problem you’re referring to. I don’t mind helping, but can I get something in return?”

Mariya: Eiji… I’m glad you agreed, but what kind of payment do you want from a governor? Money? You don’t seem to be short on that.

[Thank you, Your Majesty! Of course, as long as I’m able, I can give you anything you want!]

The governor sounded enthusiastic.

He then offered Eiji money, assets, land, and even his own daughter to be his concubine.

That last part made Mariya freeze.

Liliana, Ena, Athena, Luo Hao, and Alice narrowed their eyes. This governor is asking for trouble with them!

How dare he offer his own daughter to Eiji?

Does he want to get beaten up?

On the other end of the line, the governor of Hyogo Prefecture suddenly shuddered. He wondered if he had offended Eiji.

He didn’t know that the women who were with Eiji were listening to their conversation.

“I’m not interested in anything you’re offering.”

When Eiji said that, the women around him sighed and looked at him tenderly.

Ena kissed his cheek.

*Muach!*

[Yare-yare. I’d be happier if each of you kissed me right now.]

Please be reasonable.

The other women on the balcony looked at him blankly; Eiji rubbed his nose with a smile on his face.

His women love him so much, don’t they, Miss System?

[Don’t ask me—I’m busy.]

‘Busy? Busy doing what?’

[Watching Ranma ½. The protagonist of that series is pathetic—he doesn’t realize his fiancée could give him the green-eyed monster at any moment because she’s being too nice to the other male characters. Idiot, total idiot. If only he had even a fraction of your possessiveness, host… I probably wouldn’t get so annoyed watching it.]

Eiji was surprised.

Is Miss System complimenting him?

Tomorrow, the sun might rise in the west.

Still, he didn’t expect that woman to be watching anime. That was tantamount to admitting that she wasn’t just an AI—she was clearly a woman with otaku hobbies.

{Then… Your Majesty, what do you want?}

The governor on the other end of the phone sounded anxious.

Eiji coughed under the gaze of Mariya and the other beautiful women before saying, “I just want you to refuse any help from a young woman if she actually comes to you before I get there.”

{A young woman? Who?}

Not only the governor, but Mariya and the others didn’t know who the woman Eiji was referring to was.

Eiji acted mysterious. “You’ll find out when she approaches you to ask for permission to resolve an issue in your district. You’d better refuse her, just as I said—otherwise…”

{I’ll do it! I’ll do exactly as you say, Your Majesty.}

The governor didn’t dare to refuse or ask any further questions.

Eiji was satisfied.

He hung up and handed the phone back to Arianna. In his mind, a plan to intercept the heroine had taken shape.

As for the protagonist? He would end up with a green hat in the process.

“Eiji, what happened in Kobe… Is it the same as what I saw before?” Alice asked.

Eiji casually replied, “Yes.”

[More precisely, that’s the first plot of Shiniki no Campioness. The protagonist and the new heroine will most likely appear in the city of Kobe.]

[I certainly can’t let them be together and fall in love like in the original work.]

Is that what you’re worried about!?

Alice and the other women there were stunned.

Eiji seemed to agree to resolve the issue in Kobe not because of the issue itself, but because he wanted to do it to steal a woman away from the protagonist.

Poor protagonist.

His fate might not be much different from that of the protagonist Godou.
