My Inner Voice Heard By Heroines

Sumiredori Shopping District

This is a shopping district located in Kuoh\'s neighboring town called Sumire town. This town is much smaller in size than Kuoh, but it is visited by many people from outside the town.

Why?

It is because Sumire town is famous as one of Japan\'s Culinary Towns where there are many food shops or restaurants. Many grocery or food merchants choose to open their small businesses in this town because they feel that they will get a lot of benefits instead of selling elsewhere.

One of the most popular areas in the city is the Sumiredori Shopping District. Although this is the most unassuming area in this city, but here there are small street-side restaurants that are very popular.

Riser\'s goal was to have dinner with Grayfia here.

"So this is the place?" Grayfia asked while staring at a small roadside restaurant with the signboard "Yukihira Restaurant".

Riser nodded as he locked his car door on the side of the road.

"Yes, it\'s a bit small. But the food here is really good."

It was actually Riser\'s first time coming to this restaurant, but he knew and recognized the owner of this restaurant from the anime he had watched in the world before.

Just last night when he was idly browsing the internet, he found Yukihira Restaurant in this world.

And he happened to have the opportunity to try eating here with Grayfia.

So here he and Grayfia were now.

Grayfia looked at the young master of a super-rich family standing beside her with a new light in her eyes.

She just didn\'t expect Riser to take her to eat at a small Japanese-style restaurant on the side of the road instead of a fancy-looking and expensive restaurant.

Grayfia of course didn\'t mind eating at a place like this, because she was also curious about what the food tasted like in a small restaurant. After all, usually when she ate out, she would only eat at fancy restaurants or at least five-star restaurants.

So eating at this small restaurant could be a new experience for her, making her a little excited even though she didn\'t show it on her face.

"I didn\'t expect young master Phenex to like eating at a place like this. Alright, let\'s go in right away."

With an interested look in her eyes, Grayfia extended her hand to pull Riser into the restaurant.

Riser, who was looking around to make sure Issei didn\'t follow here, was suddenly a little surprised to feel a warm and soft sensation in his hand. Grayfia pulled his hand to enter the restaurant while holding hands.

Riser did not complain about this and followed Grayfia happily.

Sitting at a small dining table, Grayfia looked at the inside of the restaurant like a little girl filled with curiosity.

Some people who were eating inside the restaurant were surprised to see Grayfia and Riser\'s arrival. It was because both of their appearances were very beautiful and handsome, the clothes they both wore also looked very expensive.

Obviously it looked like rich people, but the two of them came to a small restaurant like this to eat. But when recalling the taste of the food in this place, they all secretly understood as if they understood each other. So they continued eating and didn\'t make a scene just because of the two rich people who had just arrived.

Grayfia noticed this small detail and felt a little strange.

"These people don\'t seem to have an overreaction when they see us enter. If it was in a five-star restaurant, some people would usually whisper when they see my appearance or know my identity."

Riser chuckled at Grayfia\'s comment.

It was true that if it was a five-star restaurant, many people would definitely notice Grayfia because of her outstanding appearance and status. He as the heiress of Phenex would also experience the same thing, although not as much as Grayfia because his predecessor was not an outstanding person personally. People would only notice his status as the heiress to Phenex from one of the seven great families in Japan.

"Well that\'s because the people who eat here are not from rich families, most of them are just ordinary people from simple families. Some may be rich, but not as rich as the people who like to socialize at noble family banquets."

"These people don\'t know your identity as the president of a company worth over a billion. And they also don\'t know you\'re the daughter of the famous Lucifuge family."

"And aside from your status, your extremely beautiful appearance tonight doesn\'t really affect them either. They\'re probably just thinking about you in silence and are more focused on enjoying the food at this restaurant."

After Riser finished saying all that.

Grayfia was secretly happy to hear Riser praising her beauty, it was not in vain that she dressed up tonight. Compliments coming from Riser were somehow more pleasant to hear than compliments from other people.

Perhaps it was because the other party was a villain who knew the plot of this world that he felt Riser was more special than anyone else, even the protagonist was not more special than him in this world.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Riser. You are also very handsome tonight." Grayfia said honestly while looking at Riser who was wearing a dark blue suit with a black shirt.

Riser\'s appearance looked very handsome and filled with a noble aura. With blue eyes, golden blonde hair and very handsome facial features. Riser\'s appearance was worthy of being the young master of the Phenex family.

Actually Grayfia felt that Riser was the most handsome man she had met so far. There were many handsome young masters from various rich families, but their looks were not as handsome as Riser\'s.

"But Mr. Riser, what do you mean about the people eating here being more focused on enjoying their food than paying attention to my appearance? Is the food in this restaurant more interesting than me?"

"Cough, it\'s not that I\'m narcissistic about my appearance, but I\'m just curious why these people are more focused on their food." Grayfia hurriedly added.

She didn\'t want Riser to think of her as a narcissistic woman who wanted everyone to notice her appearance.

"Well if you want to find out, you should try the food in this restaurant right away." Riser grinned and waved her hand to summon the chef in this restaurant.

"???"

Grayfia was confused, but she quickly turned her gaze to a short red-haired teenage boy in a restaurant uniform who came to their table.

The teenage boy was initially a little surprised when he saw her appearance, but he soon turned his eyes towards Riser with a small note in his hand.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

Riser glanced at the food menu on the table and said, "I\'d like Mapo Doufu and plain water."

The teenage boy nodded noting Riser\'s order, then turned his gaze to Grayfia.

"What would you like to order, miss?"

"I..."

Grayfia was confused, she actually didn\'t recognize the names of the food on the menu. It seemed like every food name in this restaurant was modified so that it was not the same as common food names. The only food name she knew on the menu was fried rice.

"I want Fragrantless Fried Rice and drink plain water."

"The order has been recorded, we\'ll make it right away!"

Answer the red-haired teenage boy excitedly.

After waiting for less than 10 minutes, the dishes that Riser and Grayfia had ordered were served on the table.

The red-haired teenage boy then wished them a good meal and returned to the kitchen.

Riser picked up his spoon and immediately tasted the Mapo Doufu that looked red in the bowl. This was a spicy food and Riser liked this kind of food.

As he ate one mouthful, he couldn\'t help but widen his eyes. It was very spicy, but very tasty and addictive. Sweat started dripping from his forehead, and he felt like he had the illusion that he was swimming in a sea of lava with giant Mapo Tofu all around him.

If it wasn\'t for his cultivation that made him immediately come to his senses and made him hold back the foodfgasm. Now he would have groaned as the taste of this food made him feel a sense of euphoria and high satisfaction towards the food he was eating.

Having familiarized his tongue with the taste of the food, Riser now ate his food normally although there was still sweat dripping down his forehead.

Then he realized that Grayfia had not eaten her food, but she was staring at his face.

"Is there a flower on my face? Miss Grayfia, why don\'t you eat your food right away?"

Grayfia smiled faintly, she shook her head and looked at the red-colored food in Riser\'s bowl with a hint of horror in her eyes.

"It must be very spicy, but you seem to enjoy it very much. Mr. Riser must like spicy food, right? You continue to eat voraciously, even when you have a lot of sweat on your face."

After saying that Grayfia immediately took out a handkerchief from her small bag and handed it to Riser.

Riser immediately took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face.

"Thank you. By the way Miss Grayfia, you should eat your food while it\'s warm."

"Un, of course I\'ll eat it now."

While eating his food, Riser did not take his eyes off Grayfia\'s beautiful face who was about to eat her food.

He was looking forward to the reaction Grayfia would make when she first ate her food.

Grayfia put a mouthful of simple-looking, odorless fried rice into her mouth. At first she thought the taste of the fried rice would be ordinary because of its simple-looking appearance, but when she ate it.

The silver-haired woman was astonished and widened her eyes.

"Ahn~!"

Her sense of taste exploded and she couldn\'t help the moan that escaped her mouth. The people who were eating, Riser, even the red-haired teenage boy and his father who were in the kitchen turned their eyes towards Grayfia.

They heard a moan that was so beautiful like heavenly bells that it stunned them for a moment.

Riser deliberately coughed to wake up the people watching and looked at them as if telling them to stop staring at Grayfia.

People immediately took their eyes off Grayfia and focused on doing their own business. It was just that they were secretly trying to keep that beautiful moan in their heads.

Grayfia, who had just realized from her foodgasm, looked around and stared at Riser with a red face.

So red that you couldn\'t see the image of the iceberg president that had always been on that beautiful face.

Now that beautiful face was only filled with shame and did not dare to look at Riser\'s face.

Riser grinned and pressed the stop button on the recording of his cell phone under the table. He feigned innocence and continued eating as usual.

"Mr. Riser, please forget what you just heard."

"...."

Riser just nodded while eating his food, he didn\'t say anything that would make Grayfia even more embarrassed.

At least not from his mouth.

[It\'s hard to forget that exquisite moan. Even while sleeping tonight, I\'ll probably dream about it.]

Grayfia blushed and remained silent bowing her head while eating, but she was secretly complaining in her heart.

Liar!

You obviously don\'t want to forget it!

And this fried rice... Why does it taste so good? It\'s better than the fried rice cooked by the chef of a five-star restaurant!

Although it was this food that made her do such an embarrassing thing in front of many people, but she couldn\'t stop eating it.

The other heroines were confused by what Riser said.

They suspected that Riser was doing something perverted with someone.

Some heroines reacted.

Rias, who had just returned from her company, gritted her teeth in annoyance as she got out of her car.

"It must be that silver-haired woman again!"

Akame who was about to park the car into the garage had a strange look at Rias who was suddenly angry and shouting.

The young lady was somehow often in a bad mood these days.

But what made her a little worried was when her young lady suddenly yelled like now.

I mean on the way everything seemed fine, but suddenly her young lady was yelling and scolding the silver-haired lady.

"Young miss isn\'t going crazy from overwork, is she? Maybe I should recommend her to go for psychological therapy."

Sona who was reading a book in her room could not focus on reading after hearing Riser\'s inner voice earlier.

"That villain isn\'t doing anything bad, right?"

"Maybe I should ask him when grandfather and I visit his house."

...

After Riser and Grayfia finished eating. It was Grayfia who paid the bill for the meal as she was the one who originally invited Riser to dinner as a thank you.

Riser of course had no objection to that. After the two of them got back into the car.

Grayafi had recovered the composure on her face, but there was still a hint of embarrassment when remembering the moan she had made during the previous meal.

She now understood why people were more focused on enjoying the food in that small restaurant than paying attention to her.

It was because the food was so good!

When she ate there, she also felt that there was nothing more important than focusing on enjoying the food made by the chef of Yukihira Restaurant. When paying the bill, she even took the initiative to invite the father and son at the restaurant to work as chefs at her house.

She had offered them a high salary, but she was refused and could only give up reluctantly.

"Where do you live, Grayfia? I\'ll take you home."

The way Riser called Grayfia became closer after eating together earlier. Grayfia also called him without honorifics.

"Um... Before going home, there\'s actually something I want to talk to you about, Riser. In short, I need your help."

"Oh? What favor? Are we talking about business?" Riser had actually guessed what Grayfia wanted to talk about.

It must be about her company\'s problems.

As the only man close enough to Grayfia, he was naturally a suitable candidate to be asked for help by her. Especially when he had a fairly high status as the heir to the Phenex family.

Grayfia must have been tempted to ask him for help, even though she was not sure if he could help her.

But there was no harm in trying.

In the original work, the first person Grayfia asked to help with her company\'s problems was Issei. By then Issei had become the captain of security at Grayfia\'s company and with the help protagonist halo. Issei managed to convince Grayfia that he could help her with her company\'s problems, even though he was just a security guard and an unwelcome fiancé in Grayfia\'s eyes.

Grayfia\'s IQ dropped due to the effects of the protagonist\'s halo, so she accepted help from Issei because Issei might actually be able to help her. And Issei did not disappoint her, he actually managed to help solve the problems in her company.

As expected of the protagonist.

The author deliberately creates a brainless plot and makes the protagonist Issei a tool person to help with every problem the heroine faces in each chapter. Even so, it is effective in gaining the affection of the heroines and Issei also benefits from his hard work.

In the end, not only did he get a harem, Issei also managed to unite many wealthy families and became the number one authority in Japan.

But unfortunately Issei probably won\'t get the same ending as in the original work.

There was villain with a system here, how could he let Issei rise and reach the pinnacle of life.

Everything that would belong to Issei in the future, Riser would take it all from him.

And this opportunity will also be his.

As the one who knew the plot, he could solve the problem Grayfia had.

And with his current cultivation, he was also becoming more and more confident to solve Grayfia\'s problems.

But of course he didn\'t want to work for free without being paid, he was different from the protagonist who prioritized the heroines\' bodies and hearts.

Hearing Riser\'s seemingly positive response, Grayfia took a breath and began to explain her company\'s problems.

Or rather it was about the project her company was working on.

Although she knew Riser was pretending not to know and probably already knew the details of the problem because he knew the plot.

But seeing that Riser wanted to pretend, Grayfia accompanied him and did not expose him because she did not want to be suspected that she could hear his inner voice.

After a few minutes of hearing what Grayfia had to say.

Riser nodded and began to recall the plot.

[Sure enough, it\'s about the construction of a half-finished house in the Lucifad Housing Complex in Tokyo.]

[It\'s a large-scale project where one company builds many houses in one housing complex.]

[All the people who want to build houses there are rich people with a fairly high status in Japan and abroad. A few months ago, after learning that the Lucifuge family had purchased 1,892 hectares of land in a Tokyo forestry area. Many people in Japan were shocked.]

[And when it came to the news that the land would be turned into a luxury housing complex. Many wealthy people were naturally interested in building houses there and many of them contacted the Lucifuge company.]

[Grayfia as the president of the Lucifuge company naturally got many orders for the construction of houses in the Lucifad Housing Complex. From then on, the large-scale construction began which is still ongoing today.]

[To be precise, it is already half-finished and many luxurious houses occupy more than 500 hectares of land. But a week ago the people who have been living there started complaining that their houses have many problems.]

[It\'s not a matter of their houses being too weak and easily damaged or anything like that, but the people who live there were often bothered by ghosts.]

[At first the people didn\'t believe in the existence of ghosts, but there was a lot of evidence, and even many ghost sightings were recorded by CCTV cameras which made many people scared. Especially people who live in the Lucifad Housing Complex.]

[Many people living there have complained to the Lucifuge family and company that they want a refund of the house construction funds and want to move out. They don\'t want to live in the Lucifad Housing Complex anymore.]

[Grayfia certainly had a problem with people asking for the refund. She could have given a refund, but that would have cost her more than what her company\'s workforce had done to build the many houses in the Lucifad Housing Complex. Basically, the Lucifuge company will suffer a huge loss that will affect the value of the shares.]

[This was quite problematic. That\'s why Grayfia was looking for a solution other to solve her problem. Until now, she only found me to ask for help, which actually doesn\'t make much sense. Grayfia seems to be just idly asking for my help. Although I can really solve her problem, but what will I get after that?]

So the next plot has a horror theme?

The heroines who are afraid of ghosts suddenly get goosebumps and cover themselves with blankets in their respective homes.

Isn\'t this an urban harem novel with an added no brains tag?

Why is the horror genre also included?

That dog author must have been stimulated by something while writing this plot!

Author note

I was saddened when I saw that my power stone count was low. Even though there are more than 400 people registered as fans of this book, but those who cast power stones only reach 25%... Please throw your stones at this dog so that he can crawl into the top 10. When that happens many people in this universe can easily find my book, I will wag my tail vigorously.
