Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice Chapter 962 962: Dating with Hestia

Once Tsubaki had placed the requested weaponry onto its designated rack, she decided it was time for a momentary respite. As one of the esteemed blacksmiths within the Hephaestus Familia, her days were frequently occupied by the intense heat and labor of the forge. It was only after customer orders were fully completed that she found herself with unscheduled leisure.

However, a thought occurred to her: Eiji was currently within her goddess's office. Considering his blacksmithing prowess, which Hephaestus herself had proclaimed to be on par with her own, Tsubaki harbored a desire to learn from him.

"Would it be appropriate to inquire now? Or perhaps, I should wait until he has concluded his business with Hephaestus-sama," she mused.

Filled with anticipation, Tsubaki resolved to wait for Eiji. Yet, as she happened to walk past Hephaestus's office, sounds of an unusual nature reached her ears, thanks to her Level 5 hearing.

These sounds were the audible moans of her goddess, intermingled with the distinct rhythm of physical contact.

"Ahh... Ahh... Eiji, why don't we relocate to my chambers? While still in my office... Ohh~! What if members of my familia were to overhear?"

"It is quite alright; I feel no embarrassment."

"It is I who feel the blush of shame. Hnnn... Ahh... please moderate your pace, your fervor is rather pronounced~ I fear I shall be unable to contain my vocalizations."

"In that instance, allow me to muffle your voice, Hephaestus."

"What is it you intend–mmmm~!"

The exchange between the two individuals inside the room was clearly audible even to Tsubaki. She stood there, utterly stunned, her face flushing a deep crimson.

Hephaestus-sama and Eiji-sama...

It appeared they were engaged in the act of intimacy within the confines of the office!

'Astonishing! This is quite audacious! It is merely midday, yet they are...! '

Tsubaki halted her steps, remaining rooted before the entrance to her goddess's office, an intense curiosity gripping her heart.

And whether by fate or design, the door before her creaked open slightly. The other members of the Hephaestus Familia, oblivious, passed by without a second glance, nor did they question Tsubaki's unusual stillness before the office.

The unfolding situation hinted at something amiss, as if Eiji were orchestrating events from the shadows. Or perhaps, he was employing his probability manipulation skills to ensure that all members of the Hephaestus Familia, save for Tsubaki, remained ignorant of his activities with their goddess.

Curiosity, as the saying goes, could be perilously engaging.

Tsubaki cautiously peered through the narrow gap in the door, a dry gulp escaping her throat.

How could she not?

Within the office, her goddess—Hephaestus—was perched atop her desk. Clad only in her simple white shirt, she was virtually unclothed. Behind her, Eiji, sans trousers, was positioned astride her. He embraced Hephaestus tightly, their lips locked in a passionate kiss, his hands exploring her breasts while engaging her intimately.

They resembled a pair of wild creatures locked in a primal mating ritual.

Tsubaki's eyes bulged, her jaw hanging slack. Her gaze was irresistibly drawn to the powerful thrusts of Eiji's form as he entered and exited Hephaestus.

She observed Hephaestus's flushed, ecstatic expression, and the way her tongue danced with Eiji's.

This was an entirely unprecedented facet of her goddess that Tsubaki was witnessing.

'I should not be privy to this spectacle, yet... it is too late! This scene is so intensely charged, I am utterly captivated!'

Tsubaki bit her lower lip, pressing her thighs together instinctively. One of her hands found its way between her legs.

A wave of arousal washed over her.

*Plap! Plap! Plap!*

"Hnn... Ahh... Mm..."

Hephaestus, unaware of her captain's clandestine observation, continued to emit soft moans, lost in the throes of ecstasy.

She reveled in Eiji's presence and his uninhibited passion within her office.

The palpable sense of his desire and possessiveness only intensified her pleasure, propelling her towards a powerful climax.

Eiji's eyes narrowed. His initial intention had been to subtly provoke Welf. However, how could he resist when Hephaestus radiated a beauty and sensuality far surpassing any fictional depiction?

It was undeniable.

As a gentleman, he felt compelled to take responsibility and express the depth of his affections.

[You refer to raw desire, do you not, Host? Your lust for Hephaestus becomes unrestrained when you are alone with her.]

Disregarding the System's interjection, Eiji finally climaxed within Hephaestus. Releasing her mouth from his kiss, he allowed her to cry out while gripping her short, vibrant red hair.

"Aaaahhhh~! I can feel it... Your essence is filling my being, Eiji~"

Hephaestus's tongue lolled out, a glistening trail of saliva adorning her lips, her stunning features contorted in an expression of pure bliss.

Any man beholding her in this state would undoubtedly be overcome with desire.

And simultaneously, they would harbor intense envy towards Eiji!

Especially Welf, who had recently departed from the Hephaestus Familia's headquarters. He would likely be beside himself, possibly vomiting blood, if he discovered the woman he cherished was currently engaged in intimacy with another.

The crux of the matter was his recent confession to Hephaestus. Not only was it met with a firm rejection, but shortly thereafter, she unhesitatingly sought Eiji's company.

Hephaestus had shown little regard for Welf's feelings!

Welf felt like a mere pawn, insignificant in Hephaestus's affections.

[Jajaja. My decision to visit the Hephaestus Familia was indeed correct. Not only do I witness such enthralling spectacles, but Hephaestus also lavishes attention upon me.]

The heroines: "...."

Fulfilling Eiji's desires too much, Hephaestus found herself rolling her eyes. She acknowledged that her doting on Eiji was undeniable, and she was fortunate he couldn't perceive the specific thoughts within his heart. That would have plunged her into utter embarrassment!

Especially now, knowing that numerous women could indeed hear his inner voice. Even at this moment, her predicament was one she had to endure with mortification, as many viewers were tuned into the livestream within the heroines' chat group. There was nothing she could do to halt this exposure.

In the past, she had allowed many women to witness Eiji intimately with her, exploring various positions. Her intimate areas—her pussy, her backside, her mouth—had all been thoroughly experienced by his large cock.

[Demeter: My, my. Hephaestus, you certainly make me envious.]

[Hephaestus: Then, perhaps you could come and offer some assistance!]

Hephaestus nearly swooned, Eiji's insatiable urges being far too much for her to handle alone. Sadly, Demeter's words were merely playful teasing, with no genuine intention to aid her. The other women within the chat group, surprisingly, found amusement in watching the Goddess of Smithing face such vigorous treatment, even urging Eiji repeatedly for more.

Tsubaki was no exception; her panties were already quite damp from witnessing her goddess being so thoroughly dominated. She had never anticipated Eiji possessing such a perverse nature! Yet, rather than feeling repulsed, she found herself increasingly drawn to him. She longed to know what it felt like to be in Hephaestus's position.

Eiji's sizable penis, both thick and long, entering and exiting Hephaestus's body, including her rear, caused Tsubaki to intensely imagine herself in that very scenario.

Three hours later.

Eiji emerged from Hephaestus's office, but Tsubaki was nowhere to be found. "How peculiar," he mused, "Didn't that woman wish to speak with me? Why would she depart so soon?"

[She has been waiting here for nearly three hours, and you expect her to wait even longer, host?]

"Indeed, is there an issue?"

[...Never mind, it is nothing.]

The Miss System seemed disinclined to argue further with her host.

Leme let out a small laugh. [Our King, that woman Tsubaki is currently changing her undergarments in her chamber. Given her current high arousal, her resistance to a sudden advance would be minimal! Shall we take advantage of the situation?]

"Truly? Ah well, I shall refrain... for now."

Perhaps another time, he considered, still feeling quite satiated from his encounter with Hephaestus.

As Eiji departed from the Hephaestus Familia residence, fate, or perhaps mere coincidence, led him to Hestia. The twintail-haired goddess, waving enthusiastically, called out to him, "Eiji!" Her considerable bust swayed with her movement, a sight that brought a smile to Eiji's face.

"Hestia, this can't possibly be a coincidence, can it?"

"Um, well... That is to say... I was actually waiting for you to finish at the Hephaestus Familia residence."

Unlike many other twintail-haired individuals who exhibited tsundere tendencies, such as Eriri, Hestia openly admitted her patient wait for him.

Eiji feigned surprise, though his usual all-knowing awareness had been occupied with his pleasure with Hephaestus, making him oblivious to everything else within his senses.

"Oh? And for how long?" he inquired, curiosity piqued.

"Perhaps... about an hour?"

"An hour? Hestia, you should have come to me directly."

What if Hestia had glimpsed his intimate activities with Hephaestus?

Eiji felt no concern, nor did he experience any shame about it. Miss System: It's precisely because you are shameless, host. Leme: Hehehe.

Hestia appeared slightly flustered, replying, "That's because I didn't want to intrude upon your time with Hephaestus, Eiji." A hint of envy, a feeling a protagonist like Bell could never truly grasp, tinged her voice. Eiji, however, merely let the corners of his lips curl higher, his gaze softening as he looked at Hestia.

Hestia found herself mesmerized by the man before her, her cheeks warming, and she nearly forgot the reason for her wait. "You are far too considerate, Hestia. So, what is it you require from me? For you, I would do absolutely anything."

Any other man might have boasted or spoken with only half sincerity. Eiji, however, possessed the genuine capability to fulfill any wish for Hestia. This wasn't born from affection or lust, but simply from his overwhelming power.

[As expected of our King! Your approach to charming a woman is far from crude.]

Eiji fell silent. Leme, what exactly are you implying? Do you find my methods still somewhat lacking?

[Heh.]

Miss System, I am aware you are mocking your host. A proper wife would not behave this way!

[I am not your wife.]

Eiji paid little heed to Miss System's retort, dismissing her as merely being tsundere. As soon as he returned to Draconic Deus, he might just add her name to his family registry.

Miss System: Have you lost your mind, host? Stop this at once!

The focus shifted back to Hestia's face, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. Moved by his words, she softly asked, "A-Are you serious?"

"I, Eiji Seiya, am a serious person. I don't like to joke around, especially when offering help to others," Eiji shamelessly declared.

Miss System rolled her eyes. Anyone who truly knew the man would understand that the words escaping his lips weren't entirely factual. Her host was far from a serious person and absolutely reveled in joking!

"Eiji, you are truly kind. You've aided me immeasurably; I don't know how to adequately repay your immense kindness," Hestia said, her smile radiant and the tenderness in her eyes nearly overpowering.

Bell-kun, gomen! (Sorry!)

Eiji couldn't help but imagine the scene of Hestia uttering those words to the protagonist, a chuckle threatening to escape him.

"Don't bestow upon me the 'good guy' status. In reality, I am quite greedy and rather wicked."

"Hehe, I refuse to believe that."

"You don't believe me? Hestia, how about this: I'll tell you to repay my favor this time... I want you. If you refuse, I won't assist you!"

Eiji adopted a villainous expression, gazing at the beautiful woman before him with an almost predatory intensity.

Yet, Hestia found his display amusing, though his words also caused a blush to creep onto her face. Really? Eiji desired her?

Just moments ago, he claimed to be a serious individual. But clearly, he was anything but!

Nevertheless, given Hestia's current positive disposition, she didn't feel repulsion. On the contrary, his boldness endeared him to her even more.

"I agree! Eiji, help me again, and I shall be yours... Y-You can do to me what you did with Demeter and Hephaestus..."

Hestia's face burned crimson, her voice trailing off into a mere whisper at the end of her sentence. Eiji, however, heard her perfectly clear.

Yare-yare.

He felt the urge to run a hand through his hair but restrained himself. In this moment, there was no way he would retract his words like those overly 'yasashi (kind)' and gentle protagonists!

As Miss System frequently pointed out, he was the villain!

A villain must adhere to the villain's script.

Miss System: You are truly inconsistent, host. Didn't you always proclaim yourself the protagonist, not the villain?

Due to his imposing height, Eiji had to stoop slightly, placing a hand on Hestia's shoulder and offering a thumbs-up.

"Agreed. I will help you deal with Apollo and his familia. From this moment onward, you are my future wife."

"I-I'm your future wife, Eiji? Hehe..." Hestia giggled, seemingly delighted and unsurprised that Eiji understood the nature of the favor she desired.

However, she seemed to have overlooked something, though the memory eluded her. Shortly thereafter, Eiji proposed a date, to which she eagerly consented. Hand in hand, they strolled towards the shopping district.

If one were to ponder what Hestia had forgotten, it was the protagonist himself. To be precise, Bell Cranel was engrossed in his struggle to enhance his power for the impending War Game. He had even feigned affection for Apollo and pursued him solely to activate his unique skill.

Had he known Eiji would intervene to aid his goddess against Apollo, he would never have undertaken such a perilous gamble!

He risked not only his life but also his very sexual orientation within the dungeon!

Cruel! It was overwhelmingly cruel for the poor protagonist!

...

As Eiji and Hestia enjoyed their date, a cloaked figure with silver hair observed the scene from a hidden vantage point.

It was Freya, who had intended to seek out Eiji herself not long ago. However, encountering the man she sought unexpectedly, her mind became consumed with thoughts of him since their last encounter.

She had been wracked with near madness, experiencing agonizing pain whenever she was in the presence of any man other than him.

And yet, him?

Despite having been intimate with her (in her other Syr form), he seemed utterly indifferent, dedicating his attention to other women!

And now, he was even out on a date with Hestia!

Freya's eyes turned a furious red. She bit her lip until it drew blood and clenched her delicate fists. Anger surged, but what consumed her most was jealousy!

"Eiji... I can understand if you dallied with Demeter and Hephaestus, but what relevance does that midget Goddess have!?"

"Compared to me... Hestia is vastly inferior! You belong to me... Only I am permitted to defile you."

Utterances befitting a yandere escaped Freya's lips.

Such a renowned Goddess of Beauty, stalking a man and consumed by such infatuation. Those aware of this would undoubtedly be scandalized, and many would mock. Of course, a significant number would also envy Eiji. For instance, unbeknownst to Freya, Hedin followed closely, his heart filled with intense jealousy and rage upon overhearing her words.

He didn't fault the goddess, but...

Hedin shifted his gaze towards Eiji, who was currently purchasing Jagamarukun for both himself and Hestia.

"Eiji Seiya, this is your fault... You've made Freya-sama desire you so intensely, yet you trifle with...
