Inner Voice: All Heroines Hear My Inner Voice-Chapter 654: The foolish man who delivered his head to be given a green hat

Chapter 654 - The foolish man who delivered his head to be given a green hat

After the battle ended with Team DxD's victory.

The rebel exorcists could not help but admit their defeat. From now on, they must also not oppose the Alliance anymore.

If they did, Gabriel would represent Heaven to punish them with death. Hearing this, many of the rebel exorcists including Teodoro gulped. They didn't expect the most beautiful woman in heaven who was famous for being innocent and gentle would say such cruel words.

However, what could they do?

They could only swallow their dissatisfaction unless they wanted to die. Still, it was hard for Teodoro to forget his hatred for the devils, especially Eiji because he made Vasco lose one of his hands.

But shortly after that, Eiji snapped his fingers and instantly all of Vasco's wounds were healed. One of his hands had even grown back which made Teodoro widen his eyes.

"This... Eiji, thank you very much." Vasco was surprised and bowed his head. Unlike other rebellious exorcists, from the beginning he did not actually have any hatred for devils.

He had his own goal and that was to find any traitors among the people of the Church. Whoever they were, they must be the ones who incited the exorcists and even Ewald to rebel.

That was none of Eiji's business of course. "You're welcome, Vasco-san. You've provided me with entertainment so consider it a gift from me."

Several girls giggled.

But Teodoro and the other exorcists were silent. It seemed that in Eiji's eyes they were his entertainment.

From the beginning he didn't take their rebellion seriously.

If it was before, Teodoro would have been angry and yelled at Eiji. But now? He realized they were weak and weak people had no right to complain. At least Eiji had healed Vasco's arm which made him relieved.

"Hahaha! Honestly, it's been a long time since I've fought as seriously as before. It was fun for me too." Vasco responded to Eiji's words with laughter. He also looked at Xenovia and Irina. "You young people are very strong. With you as the symbol of the Seven Faction alliance's Peace Treaty, peace in this world will be more assured."

"Vasco-san, does that mean we..." Teodoro was still very reluctant.

Vasco looked at the boy and said, "Teo, there are still other things exorcists can do besides hunting down devils and other supernatural beings. Do you still not see it? These young devils are not as evil as you think. Just like humans, many of them are good people."

[Including me, right?]

The heroines: Eiji, you're a gray man. You're nice to your women but to the men, especially the protagonists...

You like to bully them.

Eiji ignored the flat stares from his girls and thought that even though he wasn't a nice person, he wasn't too bad.

'The key is that I'm not too dense like Yuuya so I realize the feelings of the girls around me and respond to their feelings. I'm also not too cold like Ayanokojii and don't consider the girls my tools.'

[Host, your illness has returned. Please don't say things that may offend many people.]

'I'm just stating the facts.'

[Host, shut up. Instead of thinking about that, why don't you think about pretty girls?]

"..." Eiji.

It seemed like Miss System told him to be a pervert who only thought of pretty girls and sex.

He would reluctantly do it.

[I'm sure I didn't tell you to do that and haven't you been a pervert for a long time?]

Miss System complained.

Eiji pretended to be deaf and thought he became like this because someone spoiled him too much.

Miss System: This man is so shameless, he blames me for him becoming a pervert.

"Ewald-san, what about you?" Teodoro tried to find his like-minded companion and that person was Ewald.

He thought the old man would argue with what Vasco said but...

"Teodoro, we lost and must accept the rules of the victors." Ewald said that after thinking twice about what Rias and Sona had said to him earlier.

Of course, it wasn't the first time he thought that not all devils were evil. But only after Team DxD defeated the rebel exorcists, he gave up on defending his ideas and ego.

Teodoro was desperate and bit his lip. However, no one cared about him except Eiji— before the exorcists were expelled from the replica of Kuoh city, he secretly poisoned him.

[Who not long ago thought he had a heart as wide as the universe?]

'Miss System, I don't know who you're talking about.'

[It's you.]

Eiji was about to leave the replica city of Kuoh with Rias and the others and return to the real city. But at that moment Ilia who was assigned to guard the barrier with the other girls from Trinity Seven suddenly appeared.

"Eiji-sama, there is someone who wants to meet you and is now waiting outside the barrier. Should we allow that person to enter?"

"Who is it, Ilia? A man or a woman?"

"....." Ilia was silent. Normal people didn't ask questions like that but after being Eiji's grimoire so far, she had gotten to know him well.

The question was actually normal if it came out of his mouth.

"It's a man."

"Oh, what's his name?" Eiji looked disinterested and even lazy which made some girls' lips twitch.

If it was a woman who was not yet known what he looked like, they were sure he would at least be a little excited.

Ilia smiled amusedly. "He said his name was Diehauser Belial."

Rias and Sona's eyebrows raised, they recognized the man Ilia was referring to.

And Eiji? Although he usually didn't remember information about male characters who weren't protagonists. Unfortunately for this time he remembered who Diehauser was.

[What did the Rating Game's number one ranked champion come to see me for? Heh, I don't know if he's stupid or overconfident in his abilities. Does Diehauser think I don't know he's one of the devils who collaborated with Lord Bael and the Devil Council members to kill me before?]

Actually Eiji wasn't surprised because he had checked today's plot with his Future Insight.

But the women?

On the other side, the forest behind Kuoh Academy was the entrance and exit of Kuoh City Replica.

Diehauser felt that the way the girls in front of him looked at him suddenly became very unfriendly.

He even sensed killing intent in each of their eyes!

Among the girls guarding the barrier, Hijiri wondered should she cut the white-haired man in front of her into pieces? The thoughts of the other girls from Trinity Seven were no less terrifying.

After all, Diehauser was one of those people who wanted to kill their man.

"I heard you wanted to see me. What do you want?"

Diehauser did not know he had survived death because Eiji came before the yandere girls killed him. He looked at the boy in front of him with a fake smile and a hypocritical expression.

"How are you heiress Gremory, heiress Sitri and the others. And Eiji, this is our first meeting. I know you may have heard my name from the girl who told you of my arrival earlier. I—" Before Diehauser continued his words.

Eiji made a confused expression and said, "Who are you? Ilia did mention your name earlier but I forgot. If I'm not mistaken, your name is Diddy Belial?"

Except for Lala and the girls from the Romcom franchise who returned to school first. Rias, Sona and the other girls who were there giggled.

Diehauser's smile froze, he knew Eiji was mocking him. However, Rias and Sona who should recognize identities well even joined in laughing at him with the other girls.

He felt humiliated and a little angry but he was patient and answered. "I'm Diehauser Belial, Eiji."

"Ah, it's you." Eiji snapped his fingers as if he just remembered something and said, "You are one of the rebel devils that Barbariccia forgot to kill. I thought the Four Great Devil Kings imprisoned you or something but no, why can you still come here?"

He knew it was because Serafall did not prevent Diehauser from escaping his punishment, but he himself told her to do that.

This was one of Eiji's ideas to trigger a plot.

"That's... Eiji, I think you misunderstood." Diehauser panicked slightly and hurriedly made excuses because Eiji clearly knew he was one of the people in the group who wanted to kill him not long ago. "Back then I had no choice to join the rebel group led by Lord Bael. He and the Devil Council members forced me to join their plan. But believe me, I haven't taken any action of my own to help them."

That was a lie.

He was never forced to join the rebels after hearing the incitement from Rizevim.

It was almost the same as in the original work. Eiji knew this but said, "Really? I believe in you. So what did you come to me for?"

While Sona and the other girls didn't believe what Eiji said and thought he had evil ideas.

Diehauser was happy because he thought Eiji really trusted him.

"I know this is shameless considering it's our first time meeting. But Eiji, I hope you can help me. I heard you have the ability to revive people?"

Ever since the rebellion led by Lord Bael failed, he had changed his ideas. He didn't need anyone else to investigate the unexplained death of his cousin in Kuoh City because in the past before Rias— Cleria Belial was the devil who ruled this city.

Actually now Diehauser already knew that Cleria's death had something to do with the Bael Clan and the Great King Faction, Lord Bael himself had told him about this.

At that time he refrained from killing that man and his clan members. Now that Lord Bael and even the Devil Council members were dead. That left only the Great King Faction.

However, instead of taking revenge which he found difficult, Diehauser had another idea. He had heard that Eiji had revived the former wife of the Deputy Governor General of the Fallen Angels, Shuri Himejima.

That was why now Diehauser chose to ask Eiji for help! He was shameless but he didn't know the young man in front of him was even more shameless.

"Hoh, I understand what you want. Dieha... I'll call you Diddy to make it easier to pronounce. Diddy, you want to ask me for help reviving someone?" Eiji asked.

Diehauser's lips twitched, was his name that hard to come up with?

Even if Eiji mocked him, he could only bear the humiliation in his heart. "Yes, I want you to revive my cousin, Cleria Belial."

"Cleria Belial? Isn't that..." Rias recognized her cousin Diehauser's name. Sona did too but she was silent and wondered what Eiji was planning? She couldn't believe her fiancé was so kind to the man who had once conspired to kill him.

Diehauser nodded as if he knew what Rias was remembering. "That's right, Rias Gremory. The woman I'm referring to is the one who once ruled this city before you and Sona Sitri."

"Oh." Rias said.

Is that all you have to say? Diehauser complained in his heart but remembered Rias was one of Eiji's fiancées. He swallowed his anger and knew this time he had to lower himself to curry favor with Eiji to get him to agree to help him.

[Rias, where did you learn to behave like that?]

Rias looked at Eiji and the answer was obvious.

She was influenced by her fiancé.

[Still, speaking of Cleria Belial. I remember she was the unfortunate woman who died because she knew the secret about King Piece's existence. Knowing this, the Bael Clan and the Great King Faction teamed up with the Church to kill her, especially when learning of her romantic relationship with a certain exorcist.]

[Before the peace treaty, love between a devil and a person from the church was definitely not a good thing. But the Bael Clan and the Great King Faction were less concerned with this and more concerned with protecting the secret of King Piece's existence.]

[That's why they killed Cleria Belial on the pretext of separating the relationship between her and her lover.]

[In the original work, Diehauser cooperated with the Rizevim and the Khaos Brigade to investigate this. And after he found out, he naturally wanted to take revenge on the people who had killed his cousin.]

The heroines clapped their hearts out because it sounded like a bloody drama.

One of the dark sides of the Devil and the Church was exposed in this plot. However, Rias and Sona were not embarrassed at all. After all, Cleria's death had nothing to do with them.

Still, what would Eiji do? Was he really going to...

"Okay, I'll help you." Eiji agreed to help Diehauser.

Diehauser did not expect Eiji to easily agree to help him. "Really? Eiji, thank you!"

He thanked the young man sincerely but the words he heard next made him freeze.

"It's just a small matter to me but Diddy, you don't think help from me is free, do you?" Eiji began to show a smile similar to that of a devil.

Girls: Sure enough, Eiji had an evil idea! There was no way he was so kind as to help Diehauser!

"Of course not, I'm ready to pay. However, I don't know what you want in exchange, Eiji. Is it money? If it's money, I'm sure you're not lacking since you have Rias and Sona as your fiancées."

Rias and Sona were the heirs of the Gremory Clan and Sitri Clan, respectively the richest clans in the underworld. In comparison, the Belial Clan was the poorest clan that had prospered in recent years only because of Diehauser's earnings as the Rating Game's number one champion.

Diehauser was starting to get anxious even though he knew Eiji's help wouldn't be free, he actually hadn't thought about what he could give him.

He was confident in his power as the Rating Game champion who could potentially become the new Great Devil King, but he was actually stupid. That was the main reason why he was easily incited by Rizevim to rebel.

Eiji had forgotten about this, but it didn't change his plans. "You're right, I'm not short of money. So how about you fight with me?"

"I don't understand."

Diehauser stared at the young man who was so famous in the supernatural world for his power in confusion.

Even with his own special abilities, he still had the confidence to fight with him.

"As long as you manage to hit me once, I will revive your cousin." Eiji explained in a simpler way because Diehauser was stupid.

However, what he said was very arrogant and underestimated his opponent. Diehauser thought that way and held more contempt in his heart. But his eyes lit up because wasn't it easy? He thought this was also a good opportunity to show Eiji that even though he was very strong and had anti-magic, he himself had no less ability than him.

"You won't take back your words, right Eiji? I agree!"

Sona and the other girls shook their heads as Diehauser was basically dead.

The man had no idea how strong Eiji was because even though he had been showing off a lot, his women knew he had never shown his full power.

Diehauser was clearly overconfident.

Forget beating Eiji, did he think he could hit him just once?

Eiji laughed and said, "I never take back my words."

[But host, you have several times...]

'Miss System, not now.'

...

Sona and Rias and their peerage teamed up with the girls from Trinity Seven to strengthen the barrier inside the Kuoh City Replica.

They were doing this just in case Eiji beat Diehauser so badly that his father didn't recognize his corpse.

However, Diehauser thought the girls were doing it out of consideration for his power as the Rating Game champion.

"Diddy, are you ready?" Eiji asked while twisting his wrist.

"I'm ready." Diehauser enveloped himself with the special ability he inherited from his clan, Worthless.

This was an ability that could negate all abilities of people and objects as long as he understood their properties. He was able to become the Rating Game's number one ranked champion because he relied on this ability and his extraordinary demonic power.

Eiji was very strong but with Worthless, he was confident that he could still—

*Boom!*

Diehauser was dazed and couldn't help but scream from the pain in his stomach.

Eiji had just hit him with a fist that was enveloped by a drill-shaped Spiral Power. Not only was the movement so fast that Diehauser was unable to react, but the force of the punch pierced through Worthless' defenses and perforated his abdomen.

The light green power release even destroyed buildings within a radius of several kilometers meters behind him.

The barrier that had been reinforced by Sona and the others cracked because of that.

"Eiji, you... Ugh! What is that power? It's not the magic and anti-magic you've shown! Why can't I..." Diehauser's face was pale and he knelt down while holding his stomach which was bleeding profusely. He raised his head only to see Eiji's indifferent gaze which made him shudder.

By the way, he's dying!

"You're confused as to why your abilities can't negate my attacks, right Diddy? Even though you've probably tried to understand the properties of my power that you've seen."

Hearing this, Deahauser felt that Eiji knew that he had been watching when Barbariccia and the other members of Malebranche attacked him.

Had he been tricked?

Eiji seemed to be planning to kill him from the start.

"That's because I'm using a type of power you've never seen."

"N-No way... Eiji, do you want to kill me?! You want revenge for what happened before?"

Eiji looked at Diehauser with amusement. "You're only realizing it now? You fool... But don't worry, even if you are unable to land a single blow on me before you die, I will revive Cleria."

Diehauser was dumbfounded, he was happy but at the same time scared and panicked because he didn't want to die! Especially when Eiji grinned and said, "Actually I know a lot about your cousin, one of them is about her beautiful appearance."

He was lying because the original work didn't even mention how Cleria Belial looked. However, his guess seemed to be correct as Diehauser reacted violently.

"Pffft!" The white-haired man vomited blood and pointed at him with a trembling finger. "Eiji, you bastard! If you dare to revive Cleria and touch her, I..."

"You what? Diddy, I'll take good care of your cousin."

Eiji didn't even let Diehauser finish his words and killed him by punching him in the head.

The scene was like him blowing up a watermelon with his fist.

The Rating Game's number one ranked champion just died. Even so, Eiji suddenly remembered one of the abilities he had and suddenly had an interesting idea.

He saved Diehauser's soul for the things he would do to his cousin later. With White Ichigo's character card related to souls, he could do something like that.

[Host, your hobby is getting worse.]

'Ahem! Miss System, I don't understand what you're saying.'

Eiji pretended not to know and immediately told his girls to hurry back with him.

This guy...

Miss System shook her head. At this point, any man who became her host's enemy would end up in a miserable way. More so, if they had a woman they liked or cared about like Diehauser felt for his own cousin.
