Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice

Chapter 965 965: Butterfly effect, Enyo starts his plan early

*Ding dong~!*

In the morning, the gate bell of Seiya Familia's house rang. The person who rang it was Asfi.

The morning light shone on her light blue hair, there was anticipation and a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

In the past few days, she was at a loss as to how she could woo Eiji and make him take the initiative to revive Lidith. Although she had asked the women of the Hermes Familia for advice, of course—she did not mention that the person who needed advice was herself.

She said 'I have a friend who is confused and needs...'

Asfi thought herself a genius, she didn't realize Lulune and the others weren't stupid enough, they knew she was talking about herself!

However, they pretended not to know so that she wouldn't be embarrassed.

Poor Asfi.

Her image in the eyes of the other Hermes Familia members was already ruined. She now had the label 'A woman in love and somewhat infatuated with a man' over her head.

Hermes even laughed out loud when he heard the gossip from his own familia. It wasn't hard for him to guess that the man Asfi was pursuing was...

"This is a pleasant surprise. Asfi, did you miss me this soon?" The person who walked up to the gate to greet Asfi was Eiji himself.

His appearance looked refreshing, and he was still very handsome. Last night, he had exercised so much that he had not slept at all.

But—he was very energetic now. It was different from Haruhime, who was now still resting in his bedroom.

Asfi did not know this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't feel embarrassed just because of what Eiji said. She hurriedly said, "Eiji-sama, it's true that I missed you, but I also came here because I have important business with you."

"Oh?" Eiji did not expect Asfi not to argue, she just admitted that she missed him. She wouldn't have done that in the past, but now?

Interesting.

Asfi threw the ball back!

The way she looked at him even looked flirtatious, and her smile was gentle.

[Hiss!]

Why are you hissing?

Asfi was confused.

[Today, Asfi is different from usual. She seems to be really serious about making me her husband.]

That's the first thing you thought of after seeing me again!?

Asfi tried not to blush, but she didn't argue in her heart either. The corners of Eiji's lips lifted higher, in a natural gesture, he put his arm around the beautiful woman's shoulders.

"Then, let's go in and talk inside. This morning, I've also made pancakes for breakfast. You might want to taste it?"

"Pancakes? Mhm, alright..."

Asfi did not know what kind of food pancakes were, but the sudden physical contact made her a little surprised.

Her heart rate increased,

Even so, she did not refuse. For the sake of reviving her mentor, Lidith. She would let that man take advantage of her!

Asfi bit her lip, and followed Eiji into her familia's house. A few minutes later, after she had thoroughly tasted Eiji's pancakes and found out how delicious they were, she had also told him the important business she was referring to.

Actually, this was a coincidence.

She was using that so-called business as an excuse to meet him.

"So that's it..." Eiji held his chin while crossing one leg while sitting on the sofa. From his point of view, the business Asfi had with him was a plot. However, it had nothing to do with the main story. "The Hermes Familia lost some of its members, who were on an investigative mission on the 24th Floor. So, Hermes asked you to ask my familia for help personally, Asfi."

This plot is connected to a spin-off of Danmachi, Sword Oratoria! In the original work, the story focuses on the adventures of the Loki Familia, one of the strongest adventurer factions in the city of Orario. The story takes the point of view of Ais Wallenstein (the Sword Princess) and Lefiya Viridis (a talented mage), showing their struggles, internal crises, and covert operations happening alongside the main Bell Cranel story timeline.

To be honest, Eiji did not remember many details about Sword Oratoria. However, Rasiel told him. Although in this life, there were some things that did not go according to the original work.

For example, instead of asking Loki Familia for help in their secret mission, Hermes Familia now asked Seiya Familia for help.

"Yes, Eiji-sama. Of course it's not free, Hermes-sama said he..." Asfi's cheeks were flushed, she seemed hesitant to say something embarrassing.

Eiji wondered what Hermes was offering him?

That man must not be stupid enough to think he was interested in Valis or magic items.

He was probably...

"What did Hermes say Asfi? He seems confident that I won't refuse to help his familia." Eiji smiled slightly.

Asfi sighed, she no longer cared about the shame she would bear because of what she said. "He said you can make me yours completely, you can make me a member of your familia if you want, Eiji-sama."

"Tell Hermes that the Seiya Familia will help his familia!" Eiji without hesitation said.

That's right. Hermes really knew what could interest him.

Previously he had thought of asking him to hand Asfi over to him, but he did not expect him to take the initiative to hand her over to him.

Asfi's lips twitched, even though she was upset that Hermes sold her; if it was Eiji... She did not have much resistance to joining his familia.

This made it easier for her to woo him.

Ahem! This was for Lidith's sake of course.

"Thank you Eiji-sama, the Hermes Familia owes you a favor."

Eiji ignored Asfi's slightly tsundere mindset, it was only a matter of time before she confessed her love for him. "No need to be so polite. After all, Hermes Familia, to be precise Hermes himself has already given me what I want most from him."

He said that while casting an amused glance at the woman sitting in front of him.

Asfi could not help blushing, and lowered her head slightly. In another room, Artemis saw Eiji, who seemed to be flirting with another woman with a frown.

'That man is so flirtatious! Last night, he had eaten Haruhime and now... He has targeted another woman!'

The Goddess of the Hunt was jealous.

At the same time, she was also increasingly regretting her choice to flee to her bedroom last night.

On the other side, Scáthach shook her head and sipped her tea. Today also seemed like a good day.

Especially for her man, Eiji.

He practically got another beautiful woman to add to his harem. He wondered to what extent his family size would continue to grow?

"Well, tell me the details including what kind of mission the Hermes Familia is on?" Eiji asked as if he didn't know.

Asfi happily explained the details about the secret mission that Hermes Familia was carrying out. Two days ago, Ouranos' right-hand man, Fels, came to the Hermes Familia house to give a secret mission. The mission told Hermes Familia members to investigate an incident where the monsters on Floor 24 were not acting as usual. Instead, they often gather in the Pantry (certain rooms on a floor in the dungeon, where monsters gather to eat). Not only that, the Hermes Familia members were also told to go there to retrieve a mysterious magic gem called Jewel Fetus.

"Jewel Fetus? What is that?" Artoria asked.

"Stupid lion. It's definitely a gem that sounds quite valuable." Morgan immediately replied in a mocking tone.

By the way, Eiji had told his familia members, except for Haruhime, and even the Artemis Familia, to gather together. They heard the details about the secret mission from Asfi together.

Artoria glared at Morgan in annoyance, "You know I'm not talking about that, Morgan. You just want to mock me."

"That's right."

"You...!"

Before the two women argued further, Eiji pretended to cough and gave them a signal to calm down.

Artoria and Morgan were silent.

They knew their husband.

Good women.

"According to what Fels said. Jewel Fetus is a green crystal jewel-shaped parasitic object that contains the fluid and fetus of a female monster. This object is the origin of the Demi-Spirit, one of the deadliest monster threats in the dungeon."

Asfi slowly continued, "This object acts like the "egg" or "seed" of a monster. It was deliberately placed near the quartz pillar in the Pantry to absorb nutrients from the liquid of parasitic plants and the magic stones of other monsters in order to grow."

"Once it grows big enough, the Jewel Fetus will launch itself to attach and parasitize the host, be it a powerful monster or a human, and either they die or live."

"After successfully fusing with its host, its form will change into a Demi-Spirit—a giant monster with the lower body of the original monster, and the upper body of a beautiful woman with power said to be at the level of a god."

Hiss!

Artemis and her familia members were shocked. However, Eiji and the women in his familia did not change their expressions.

"Such a monster cannot be allowed to be born! If possible, my familia and I would also like to help." Artemis said with a heroic expression.

Asfi struggled to answer.

Eiji glanced at Artemis gently and said, "My dear, Artemis... There is no need. You and your familia will guard my familia's home for me. And have you forgotten who was recently almost eaten by an ancient monster? Unless you are as strong as I am, a goddess like you should not follow your familia members into battle."

Artemis froze, she felt embarrassed when remembering her experience a few moments ago. But the way Eiji had called her didn't help either, it made her face flush instantly.

Her image as a Virgin Goddess was destroyed in the eyes of everyone in the room.

"Eiji, don't say that! But fine, me and my familia members will just wait here."

Eiji nodded in satisfaction, "Good wife."

"I-I'm not your wife! We're not even married yet!"

"Ah, you're right. I forgot." Eiji innocently said. But his expression said that he was teasing the other person.

Artemis squeezed her dress, and glared at the man.

In the eyes of others, they seemed to be flirting with each other. Asfi felt sour.

Come to think of it, why would a goddess like Artemis live in a Seiya Familia house? This woman...

She was also her rival?

It seemed to be true.

"Is that all, Asfi?" Eiji returned to the subject.

Asfi said, "Yes, for now... We don't know yet what caused the unusual movements of the monsters on the 24th floor, and who was the party who placed the Jewel Fetus on the quartz pillar."

She hesitantly asked, "Eiji-sama, do you know anything?"

"Maybe."

Eiji did not deny that he knew who was the mastermind of the unusual things that were happening in the Dungeon.

[If I'm not mistaken, the plot this time involves the remnants of Evilus. Those people still have plans to destroy Orario.]

!!!

The heroines in Danmachi couldn't help but react when they heard 'Evilus' and their plan to destroy Orario.

Especially a green-haired elf who thought she had completely wiped out the group that killed her friends in the past. Ryuu clenched her fists, and narrowed her eyes coldly.

Right now, she really wanted to rush over to see Eiji and ask about the details.

Of course, this was also one of Eiji's calculations. He didn't use his inner voice for nothing.

The opportunity to woo the other heroines behind the protagonist had appeared. How could he just miss it?

Jie jie jie.

[Host, can you stop laughing like that?]

Then, how should I laugh?

[Laugh normally.]

Jajaja.

[You call that normal laughter?]

Eiji and Miss System had a small argument, just because of a very trivial thing.

As an observer or the third person between them, Leme said that she was used to watching it. From her point of view, the two of them were teasing each other.

"Maybe? Can you say it more clearly, Eiji? Tell us the details." Artemis complained, even though she heard Eiji's inner voice, he still had not told them much of what he knew about Evilus' plans.

Eiji didn't mind telling the women directly. "It was most likely the work of the Evilus Faction, or rather the remnants of them."

"...?" Everyone.

Alright, what else?

You've already said it's your heart before!

Actually, can you stop pretending that you don't know for sure about what they're going to face?

This guy really likes to pretend, and makes others curious.

"As far as I know, they should be hiding in the man-made dungeon, Knossos. That dungeon connects the original Dungeon and the Deadalus Street."

Eiji casually told the women where Evilus' secret headquarters was.

The people hiding in that place would definitely panic if they heard what he said.

He also revealed that the mastermind of the big plot was a god who called himself Enyo.

"Enyo? I don't remember there being a god with that name in Heaven. Eiji, don't you remember wrong?" Artemis asked.

It was natural for her not to know, as Enyo was the pseudonym of a certain deity. That god even had his own familia in Orario.

But Eiji replied, "Maybe."

"....." Everyone.

Feeling the annoyed stares from the women who could hear his inner voice, Eiji still had no intention of revealing any further spoilers.

That would ruin the fun, he didn't want to do that. In his mind, he thought of several plans and ways to torment 'Enyo'.

He had no grudge against him. But, if certain things went according to the original work, that man would make Demeter the scapegoat when his identity was about to be revealed.

[Demeter is my lady, whoever dares to slander her will not have a good ending!]

The heroines were confused. Why was Demeter's name suddenly mentioned?

Demeter was also confused, but she felt sweet in her heart. Should she visit the Saiyan Familia's house tonight? Then, let Eiji plow her fields again and give her plenty of high-quality fertilizer.

...

In a certain familia house, which was located on Deadalus Street.

A god who was sitting while drinking his homemade wine suddenly shuddered.

"This is just my feeling... It can't be that my other identity has been revealed. Maybe there was a slight problem in my plan?"

He wondered, there was no anxiety on his face and he just smiled faintly. He was not as handsome as Eiji, but as a god—he was more handsome than most gods and exuded a prince-like aura.

He is tall, slender, has shoulder-length blonde hair and green eyes. With an appearance like that, he is indeed suitable to be a villain.

Although in the eyes of the gods and goddesses in Orario, he was a good god, friendly and easy to get along with. However, that was just a mask to cover his true self.

He doesn't care about others, and regards others as trash to the point where he wants to spit on them. As a deviant God by nature, his favorite and greatest pleasure is seeing "orgia", people filled with despair, fear, and pain as they scream and run for their lives, which he regards as "beautiful madness".

It was his true identity.

Enyo, or rather Dionysus, was such a person.

"Dionysus-sama, should I check the situation downstairs?" Asked a female elf named Filvis Challia. She was the captain of the Dionysus Familia.

Dionysus took another sip of his wine before saying, "No need, there are others of you, Ein to be precise who are watching Revis and the others. For now, you should keep an eye on the movements of the Loki Familia, or any other families we should be aware of... Especially the Seiya Familia."

He had certainly heard of Eiji and his familia, he had even seen them at Apollo's party. However, out of caution, he chose not to talk to him and only saw him from a distance back then.

After knowing all the things Eiji had done in his short time in Orario, he was also surprised and thought he would be the biggest obstacle in his plan.

Before Filvis could reply to his words, he interrupted her. "Correction, you just need to keep an eye on the Seiya Familia's movements. If possible, try to establish a good relationship with one of their members, or someone else who is on good terms with them. Get more information about the Seiya Familia."

"Understood, Dionysus-sama. I'll do it for you."

Filvis did not refuse, even if she wanted to refuse, she could not do so.
