Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice Chapter 1115: Eiji's Daughters
Previously on Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice...
The chaos caused by Damocles was, to put it mildly, massive. However, Eta can easily repair buildings and all other objects.
She has developed a magical technology whose capabilities are somewhat similar to Eiji’s Time Matter and which takes the form of a cube the size of a basketball. That technology is still several levels below Time Matter, but it’s enough for her to turn back time for a city and the surrounding areas.
As for the tens of millions of ordinary people who have witnessed those supernatural scenes? Their number wasn’t an issue; the magical technology Eta created was also capable of casting a mass memory-erasing spell.
It’s more efficient than the devils who usually do such things to cover up their supernatural activities.
“I forgot to mention it, but this high-level technology is the Shadow Chronometer.”
Standing in an alley within the housing complex, Eta proudly introduced the technology she had created to Alpha and the others.
“Wow! Delta wants one too!”
Delta stared at the black cube with purple stripes in Eta’s hand, a gleam in her eyes.
Eta quickly hugged the cube close, keeping it away from that greedy wolf.
“This isn’t something every member of Shadow Garden can have… But don’t worry, I’ll make a simpler version for you and the others, Delta.”
“Uh… Delta wants the best version! Eta, you’re so stingy!”
Delta puffed out her cheeks; she looked so adorable that anyone would feel sorry for her.
However, Eta firmly refused to hand over the object in her hand.
Delta pouted.
The atmosphere in the alley got pretty noisy.
Alpha sighed and said, “Good job, everyone. Now, let’s return to our respective posts. For the sake of Lala-sama’s safety and everyone else’s, we mustn’t let our guard down.”
“Understood, Alpha-sama!”
“Okay, Mom!”
Except for Delta, who called Alpha “Mom,” the other Shadow Garden members responded respectfully.
And what about Tohru? She had flown back to Eiji’s house. Upon arriving there, she wanted to report her success in driving her father away to Eiji.
But just then, the door to the delivery room opened, and it looked like Eiji had already gone inside. Without anyone telling her, Tohru knew that Eiji’s daughters had been born!
All she could do was wait in the hallway with the other women. If Chisato hadn’t forbidden them all from going in at once, they would certainly have wanted to go inside.
“Gyahaa!”
The sound of a cute baby could be heard.
It wasn’t just Tohru—many women who weren’t yet pregnant felt envious! Some of them rubbed their own bellies, wondering when they would have a daughter of their own?
Especially Freya from Danmachi—she bit her finger and fought the urge to force Eiji to get her pregnant right then and there.
Inside the delivery room.
“A-Are they angels!?” Eiji asked with the corners of his mouth turned up very high; he was grinning so widely that it looked ridiculous to Lala, Rias, and the other women.
“They’re your daughters, Eiji.” Sona replied seriously, but there was a tenderness in her expression.
She knew Eiji was complimenting his daughters’ angelic appearance. In other words, they were incredibly beautiful.
Eiji’s gaze was fixed on his daughters, who were now lying in the long crib. Because of that, he didn’t have to walk back and forth to see them all.
Unlike most babies, who don’t have much hair when they’re first born, his daughters’ hair had grown long enough that he could tell which one belonged to which mother just by the color of their hair.
The baby who had been laughing happily earlier was Lala’s daughter. In the middle row, she looked almost exactly like her mother. She has pink hair, milky white skin, a Deviluke tail swaying in the air, and an ahoge on top of her head. But unlike Lala, who has green eyes, her eyes are sky blue, just like someone else’s.
That’s right—her father, of course!
Eiji almost burst out laughing.
Each of his daughters had such a cute face that he couldn’t help but reach out to one of them.
“Wawoo!”
Lala’s daughter wasn’t scared or crying when she saw the man standing right in front of her bed. She cheerfully reached out with her tiny hands to grab her father’s big fingers.
*Drip*
“Eiji, you’re bleeding from your nose!” Lala was startled.
The other women standing next to Eiji felt the same way. They hadn’t expected to see blood dripping from Eiji’s nose.
They looked at him with concern.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. It’s just… My daughter is just too cute!!”
Hearing Eiji say that enthusiastically, and wiping his nose with his other hand,
Lala and the others were relieved.
Still, can you really get a nosebleed just from looking at your daughter?
That’s pretty worrying.
“Eiji… Wait a second.” Standing on the other side of Eiji, Rias pulled a handkerchief from her storage magic and helped Eiji wipe the remaining blood from his nostrils.
Her natural gesture caught everyone’s attention, including the babies in the room.
They watched Rias’s actions with curiosity in their eyes.
Come to think of it, Rias and the other women still looked full of energy after giving birth.
They didn’t just lie in bed; they stood up to see their daughters together. Eiji asked why.
“Have you forgotten about my blessing, Eiji? It also has an instant recovery effect after a woman gives birth.” Chisato explained the ability possessed by her blessing, Maternal Link.
Eiji gave her a thumbs-up. “Chisato, we’re all lucky to have you here.”
Chisato smiled and humbly said, “Grayfia and the other maids were also a great help during the birthing process.”
“They’re MVPs just like you.”
Chisato rolled her eyes.
Grayfia shook her head with a playful look in her eyes, and the other maids giggled. The ones I’m referring to are Noel, Le Fay, Meredith, Sheila, Radix, Okto, Illia, Momo Sakuraba, and Runa Kusami.
Eiji’s attention returned to his daughters before he said, “Allright. It’s time for your dad to give you some cool names.”
“….” The daughters. For some reason, they felt anxious.
“Ahem! About that… Eiji.” Rias pretended to cough and said, “I’ve already picked out a name for our daughter. You don’t need to go to the trouble of thinking of a name for her.”
“Huh? You’ve already picked out a name for our daughter, Rias?” Eiji was a little disappointed and asked curiously, “What’s her name?”
He glanced at his daughter, who had crimson, wavy hair and an ahoge on top of her head just like Rias. But unlike Rias, who had green eyes, her eyes were golden with darker shades.
His and Rias’s daughter was also very cute.
Still, whether it was just his imagination or not, when her mother said she’d already picked out a name for her, she was overjoyed.
When her father wanted to name her, she actually looked anxious, as if she was worried about him choosing a bad name.
Hallucination.
It must be a hallucination.
[I saw that too, King.]
‘Leme, I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear what you said.’
In this situation, Miss System would usually chime in. But right now she’s still offline, which made Eiji a little unhappy for a moment.
He wondered what that woman was up to.
His mood improved again when he saw his daughters.
“Our daughter’s name is Scarlet. Scarlet Gremory. She could also be called Scarlet Seiya, but the first one seems more suitable as her official name. Eiji, you don’t mind, do you?” Rias asked as she wrapped her arm around her husband’s.
“Scuale! Scuale!”
Scarlet seemed happy with the name her mother had given her. She shouted with a lisp and an adorable voice.
“Scarlet Gremory? Nice. That’s a name that suits her.”
“Thank you, Eiji.”
Rias sighed in relief and looked at her daughter with a gentle smile.
Did you hear that, Scarlet? At least your name isn’t Red Gremory or Golden Gremory.
Eiji looked at his daughter and Lala. “Little pink, what about you? Your dad…”
“Eiji, I’ve also picked out a name for our daughter. Her name is Lyra Seiya Deviluke!” Lala said excitedly.
Hearing her own name, Lyra also looked excited.
There was no way Eiji could refuse—the name was even many times better than the one he’d thought of.
“That’s a good name. I agree.”
“Yay! Lyra, we did it!”
“Yay-yay-yay!”
Lala and her daughter seemed to be working together to convince him.
Eiji’s lips twitched.
He turned to look at another baby whose hair and face reminded him of Sona. The baby stared at him silently with its purple eyes.
Strangely, none of his daughters cried like most babies do.
[Just as I’d expect from my daughters! They’re wiser and smarter than other babies!]
Rias, Lala, and the other women thought so too. They were certainly proud and believed their daughters would grow up to be great people.
Before Eiji could say anything about the baby he was looking at, Sona interrupted him, saying, “Her name is Seraphina Sitri.”
“Sona, I haven’t even asked yet.”
“But that’s a nice name for our daughter, isn’t it?”
“I can’t help but agree.”
Hearing her husband’s approval, Sona was satisfied and glanced at her daughter.
Seraphina gave a small smile, as if pleased with the name her mother had given her. She was one of the quietest babies in the room.
In the future, she might become a cool and strict student council president just like her mother.
By the way, aside from having the same hair color as her mother, she also had straight black hair.
Before asking about the names of the remaining babies, Eiji glanced at the women standing beside him.
“Let me guess—you’ve all already picked out names for your daughters?”
The women smiled. “That’s right.”
Eiji felt numb; he gave up on naming his own daughters and immediately asked what their names were.
Starting with Akeno.
“Our daughter’s name is Akane Himejima. What do you think, Eiji?”
Akane’s appearance is almost identical to her mother’s. She has black hair and big purple eyes. There are also two strands of ahoge sticking up on top of her head.
“You named her something almost like your own name, Akeno. But of course, that name suits her.”
“Ufufu.”
“Ububu!”
Akane imitated her mother’s laugh.
Akeno was startled before smiling gently.
Next, Ravel.
“Eiji-sama, Ravel has decided that our daughter’s name will be Ravella Phenex.”
“That’s a nice name, Ravel.”
“Yes!”
Ravel was glad that Eiji also thought the name she’d chosen for her daughter was nice. Ravella even giggled.
She also has wavy blonde hair like her mother’s, and brighter blue eyes like her father’s.
Eiji wouldn’t be surprised if Ravella ended up with a double-bun hairstyle like her mother’s in the future.
Even Lady Phenex has the same hairstyle.
Next, Mio.
“I think Mirai Naruse is a nice name. Eiji, you don’t mind, do you?”
“No, I don’t mind at all, of course.”
Just like the other babies in the room who looked like mini versions of their mothers, Mirai was no exception.
She looked more like Mio than her father.
A few moments later.
Eiji was told the names of his other daughters.
His daughter with Yuki was named Yuka Nonaka.
His daughter with Kurumi was named Koharu Nonaka.
His daughter with Tsubaki is named Tsubame Shinra.
His daughter with Koneko is named Kohaku Toujou.
His daughter with Zest is named Zenia Seiya.
His daughter with Xenovia is named Victoria Quarta.
His daughter with Irina is named Asuna Shidou.
His daughter with Utaha is named Uta Kasumigaoka.
Those are the names of all the daughters born that day.
After that, Chisato allowed the other women waiting outside the room to come in if they wanted to see the babies.
Not a single one of them refused; even though the babies weren’t their biological daughters, they were very enthusiastic. Even the goddesses—such as Diana, Vulcan, Apollo, Hera, Aphrodite, Artemis, Demeter, and the others—were no exception.
Some of them even wanted to bestow their blessings upon the babies. However, the babies’ mothers refused and did not allow it for the time being.
“What a shame… If your mother hadn’t forbidden me, I could have made you many times more charming than you are now, and many men out there would…” Aphrodite said as she cradled Mirai and gazed at her with amusement.
Mio glared at her, “Aphrodite, don’t even think about doing that. And if Eiji hears what you just said, he definitely won’t be happy.”
“Huh? I was just joking… Mio, don’t take it so seriously.”
Aphrodite laughed awkwardly and handed Mirai back to her. She also looked a little flustered.
Mirai giggled.
On the other side.
Serafall’s excited scream echoed throughout every corner of the room.
“Kyaaa!! So-tan, I mean… Sera-tan is so cute!! She looks just like So-tan did when she was little!!”
“Her name is Seraphina. Don’t give my daughter such a weird nickname, Onee-chan.”
Sona sighed and looked helplessly at her older sister, who was rubbing her cheek against Seraphina’s.
Seraphina furrowed her brow; she looked unhappy and gave her mother a pleading look.
“Onee-chan, Seraphina seems uncomfortable. Give her back to me.”
“No way! I still want to hold Sera-tan!”
“You…”
Sona gave her daughter an apologetic look. Sorry, but she could only be patient until Serafall got a little bored with her.
“!?” Seraphina.
The other women who witnessed Serafall’s actions could only shake their heads.
However, many of them also couldn’t resist reaching out to touch Scarlet, Lyra, and Eiji’s other daughters.
They were just too adorable.
Even their father could only remain silent as he watched his daughters being surrounded by his own women.
A few moments ago, he’d only had a chance to hold Lyra and Scarlet before Sephie and Venelana took them from him.
The two women wanted to hold their granddaughters, so their son-in-law had no choice but to give in.
“Hey, can you give me one of those?”
“Eiji, you have to wait in line.”
“We’ve been waiting outside for a long time.”
“Eiji, don’t be so stingy.”
[I’m the father of those babies, okay?]
Eiji’s inner voice rang out.
However, the women pretended not to hear what he said and continued playing with the babies.
Eiji fell silent.
At that moment, Tohru approached him and seemed to want to say something. He had no choice but to distract himself with something else.
“Tohru, come with me.”
“Yes, Eiji-sama!”
…
In the third-floor hallway.
Tohru immediately told him the reason why her father had come to this world, and apologized for the fact that it had happened because of her.
Eiji gently stroked Tohru’s head and smiled at her. “It’s not your fault, Tohru. I myself almost forgot that your father would come looking for you and cause a commotion, and I didn’t take any precautions.”
Something like that also happened in the original work.
However, he didn’t know why the old man seemed to know about him before meeting his daughter. He found this out from the report Alpha had sent via magic communication.
“Huh! Eiji-sama, did you already know my father would cause trouble looking for me? Just as I’d expect from you!”
Tohru gazed at the man in front of her with love and admiration in her eyes. His touch also made her cheeks flush, and her breathing quickened slightly.
Seeing that, Eiji quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, has he returned to the other world yet?”
After all, his daughters were not far from where they were. He didn’t want them to think their father…
In other words, he had to restrain himself and maintain his image as a good father from now on.
“Yes! Eiji-sama, I’ve already sent him away, even though he seemed to want to meet you after finding out that you’re my partner. I asked him to visit you later if I take the initiative to contact him.”
“You handled that well, Tohru.”
“Mhm! So, Eiji-sama, may I ask for a reward?”
Tohru looked at him shyly, her plump dragon tail swaying from side to side.
“What? You want a reward? Tohru, you’re shameless. But let me make sure what kind of reward you want first?” Eiji asked.
Tohru threw herself at him and hugged him tightly. She looked up and flashed a smile that wasn’t exactly appropriate for his daughters to see.
“Hehehe… Eiji-sama, can you give me a baby dragon?”
Eiji didn’t answer right away and let out a sigh. He was trying to restrain himself, but this woman was only provoking him.
[You’re so popular, King!]
‘Leme, I don’t really want to be popular right now.’
Still, how long is a certain woman going to stay offline?
