"Eiji-kun, where are we going?"
After the car started moving, Chizuru glanced at the young man beside her and asked about where they were going on this date.
Before coming here, she had only been told that Eiji rented her again and pointed out his location.
"Chizuru, I haven't had breakfast yet. How about we go somewhere to eat?"
Eiji lied naturally even though he had breakfast with Yuigahama and her mother earlier.
"I don't mind. Do you want a recommendation for a good restaurant or cafe around here?"
"Oh, do you know?"
"Yes."
Chizuru was being very nice, she spoke humbly and not arrogantly to make her clients feel at ease when dating.
However, she was a little more excited than usual because it was her first time receiving a date order again.
Do you know since the last time she went on a date with Eiji?
Since then, Kanojo Rental Company changed their policy to not only accept dating services. They added some additional services such as accompanying the elderly or some other services that could be considered positive.
Chizuru had no problem with this, she had even received orders from some lonely women to accompany them shopping or just talk to each other.
Even so...!
She felt something was wrong as there were no more men who wanted to rent her except Eiji today.
Usually in a month there were enough requests that she had to choose between them but now? Her order list was only filled with Eiji and many women.
Chizuru wondered if her charm had diminished so much that men except Eiji were no longer interested in her?
Wait, there was also Kazuya who had tried to talk to her many times since they fought that night but she continued to be cold to him.
"Well, let's save that for another time. I actually already know which eating place I want to visit."
Eiji refused because he already had plans for his date with Chizuru this time. He did not remember many details of the original work, but Jarvis could help him to know the things he wanted about people's information.
Protagonist Kazuya was no exception.
As a good girlfriend, Chizuru followed the arrangements made by Eiji so she changed the topic and talked about other things on the way.
The atmosphere in the car was quite lively but sometimes Chizuru's expression was a little unnatural when Eiji's inner voice was heard.
[Chizuru was very beautiful. She was wearing a dark red sleeveless top that accentuated her curves. Her blue and purple plaid skirt also looks very suitable for her. I can see her thighs and white legs.]
[If it was the protagonist Kazuya, he would probably blush and couldn't control his gaze on Chizuru's body.]
[But me? It's fine... I'm still staring straight ahead while driving and occasionally using my perception to see things around me.]
Isn't that almost the same?
You're basically peeping at Chizuru secretly, Eiji.
The heroines out there shook their heads.
Chizuru was even amused and but at the same time relieved because her charm did not seem to have diminished.
The proof was that Eiji was secretly peeping at her.
Although she somewhat did not understand how he did it with his perception. But after hearing his inner voice so far, Chizuru knew Eiji was no ordinary person because from his point of view, Kazuya was the protagonist and she was the heroine.
She remembered hearing that Eiji called himself a god and he seemed to have relationships with many women.
Except for the latter part, Chizuru was skeptical that the young man driving the car beside her was a god!
Although in terms of appearance, Eiji was very God-like handsome but was he really a God? Real or fake?
Why would a god with many beautiful women like him even bother to rent her as his girlfriend?
Chizuru was confused but she did not ask and chose to do her job professionally.
She did not know this was what Eiji expected from her in this situation.
Soon they arrived at a place and rented one of the rooms. Eiji ordered food and drinks from the tablet there online. Of course, he did not forget to ask Chizuru if she wanted to order food and drinks too?
Chizuru did not refuse, she ordered food and drinks even though she had already had breakfast this morning. Still, when they were waiting for the order to arrive— Chizuru could not resist asking the young man sitting beside her.
"Eiji-kun, instead of a restaurant, why did you choose to have breakfast here?"
Chizuru knew this place also served some heavy meals but this was a Karaoke Box!
Did Eiji want them to sing together after breakfast?
If so, that would make sense.
However...
"Huh? Is there something wrong if I choose to have breakfast here? This place is more convenient than a crowded public restaurant and we can rent a room to eat together, Chizuru."
[Although it's not impossible for me to have breakfast at an expensive restaurant and rent a VIP room.]
Then why don't you do it?
Chizuru refrained from replying to Eiji's words in her heart because even if she did, there was something preventing her from telling Eiji that she could hear his inner voice.
"I see. This place is indeed cozy and we can do many things besides eating together."
Chizuru could only pretend not to hear Eiji's inner voice and returned his words with a sweet smile.
Still, she did not expect him to misunderstand in his heart.
[Doing things other than eating together? Chizuru, are you hinting at something to do something perverted with me?]
I'm not!
Chizuru's lips twitched, it had actually been a few days since she realized that Eiji was more perverted than his polite and calm appearance on the surface.
However, she thought it was natural since Eiji was a man and now he was alone with a beautiful woman.
As long as he did not do perverted things to her, Chizuru did not mind Eiji thinking that way about her.
She didn't know she could think like that just because it was Eiji whose looks and charm affected her.
There were also halo harem and halo romcom protagonist that were now active.
If it was another man whose inner voice was heard, Chizuru might not have such a high tolerance.
*Knock knock*
At this moment, the door of their room was knocked and a familiar voice was heard.
"Excuse me, we brought your order. May we come in?"
Eiji smiled, no. He actually refrained from grinning. "Of course, you may come in."
...
Hearing this, a man with disheveled orange hair in a karaoke staff uniform opened the door.
There was a slight blush on his cheeks.
It wasn't that he was embarrassed, but he often looked like this when he was with beautiful women.
The girl standing behind him with a tray of food followed him with a strange expression.
It was because she was familiar with Eiji's voice.
She even heard his inner voice a moment ago which made her feel uncomfortable.
"Thank you, here's your order- huh? Chi, Chi, Chizuru?! Why are you here?!"
The man who worked as staff and waiter at the cafe, Kazuya was surprised to see the woman he knew in the room.
Or rather it was the woman he loved who a few days ago was inexplicably cold to him.
Chizuru was beautiful as always but now she was sitting next to a very handsome blond man.
They looked good together.
Were they dating?
Although it might have something to do with Chizuru's job as a rented girlfriend— Kazuya felt his chest hurt and his expression looked very ugly.
Eiji could see the illusion of a green hat on top of the man's head which made him laugh.
[Hahahaha! What kind of coincidence is this? The world is so small that the place I chose to eat with Chizuru is where Kazuya works.]
[Oh, there's also Ruka who seems to work part-time at the same place as Kazuya. It's the same as in the original work, I wonder how far their relationship has gone?]
Really?
Is this really a coincidence?
Many heroines including Chizuru doubted Eiji.
But just like Kazuya, Ruka was also surprised to see the boy she knew and her face was a little pale because she somehow felt caught cheating.
Although she wasn't dating Eiji, she was worried that he misunderstood her and Kazuya's relationship!
However, she herself was still pursuing Kazuya today to prove her loyalty which made her expression complicated.
"E-Eiji, are you here?"
"Yo Ruka, we meet again. I didn't expect to see you here. Do you work part-time here?"
You know that but still ask?
Ruka forced a smile but answered his question. "Yes! I work here part-time every Saturday and Sunday. Eiji-kun, here are your and Chizuru-san's orders."
She placed the plates of food on the table and looked at Chizuru with jealousy in her eyes.
Previously Kazuya, now Eiji. Why was this woman flirting with all the men who had once made her heart skip a beat?
Is she doing it on purpose?
"Hello Ruka-san." Chizuru said with an awkward smile because Ruka seemed to misunderstand her!
She just found out that Eiji also knew Ruka.
Actually, at the request of her host, Miss System had restricted some inner voices that could be heard by certain heroines.
That included Chizuru and Ruka since they had not fully heard Eiji's inner voice in the past three days.
As for the purpose? Obviously it was so that they wouldn't know the shameless things her host did.
At least before they actually fell in love with him.
"Ruka, you know Chizuru too?" Eiji pretended to be surprised.
"Ah yes, I know her. We've met a few times because of work." Ruka did not say that she had actually also worked as a rented girlfriend and Chizuru was her senior. However, that was in the past.
Ever since she fell in love with Kazuya, she immediately quit the job.
Eiji knew this from the original work.
And not only him, currently Chizuru and Ruka were ignoring Kazuya.
"....." Kazuya was sad but also surprised that Ruka knew the handsome guy Chizuru was dating?
{Who is this guy? Ruka even knows him? What is their relationship?! Is it just me or did Ruka get jealous when she saw him with Chizuru?}
{No way! Ruka, haven't you said many times that you love me? I haven't accepted your love but that doesn't mean you can fall in love with another man! Especially this man you call Eiji, he looks like a playboy and the reason he rented Chizuru must be for evil intentions!}
The corner of Eiji's lips lifted higher.
He had already activated the halo he had just gotten earlier and the effect seemed to have worked.
The protagonist Kazuya instantly disliked him and said things that made no sense in his heart.
Chizuru and Ruka frowned and naturally looked at Kazuya with a gaze that could not be described as friendly.
In his heart, Kazuya was more bold and outspoken than he was on the surface. He even immediately judged Eiji just from his appearance while saying very selfish things.
Especially for Ruka who seduced him many times but he always rejected her. Even so, she shouldn't change her mind and fall in love with another man?
Isn't that unreasonable?
Is this how Kazuya thinks about her in his heart?
Ruka was disappointed.
Chizuru was not too surprised because she only regarded Kazuya as an acquaintance and neighbor.
"Um... Why are you all looking at me now? By the way Chizuru, you haven't answered my question yet."
Kazuya was confused and uncomfortable with the gazes of everyone in the room that were now only on him.
The blush on his cheeks grew thicker.
[My king, why does this guy keep blushing since he entered the room?]
'Leme, protagonist Kazuya is often like this. It's his normal reaction.'
[That's his normal reaction?! Leme understands. Whatever it is, you should give him a big green hat hehe!]
Leme then laughed wickedly.
Eiji nodded in his heart.
'Leave it to me.'
[.....]
Miss System didn't say anything about the two people's conversation and continued to watch while eating popcorn.
"Kinoshita-san, do I have to tell you?" Instead of answering, Chizuru asked back coldly.
"That..."
Kazuya bit his lip, he wanted Chizuru to say she was only dating her client because it was her job.
That would have relieved him a little.
But he just remembered after they fought last time, Chizuru no longer treated him kindly.
Her cold demeanor now made him want to cry.
"Chizuru, who is this? Your friend?"
Although Eiji already knew a lot about Kazuya, he still asked who that man was which made Chizuru and Ruka speechless.
Kazuya wanted to introduce himself but Chizuru answered first by saying, "Eiji, he is Kinoshita Kazuya. He's not my friend, but a neighbor who lives next to me. We're just acquaintances."
{A-Acquaintance? Chizuru only thinks of me as her acquaintance?! Although that's true because we never made it clear that we were friends before. But isn't our relationship a little better than that? Ughh...}
{Is this the end? Chizuru really hates me? But why?! Until now I still don't understand why Chizuru's attitude towards me changed!}
{It's bad, grandmother even kept urging me to arrange a meeting with her because she misses her. But, I still haven't said that Chizuru and I have broken up! From the start, we were even just pretending to date!}
Kazuya's inner voice sounded pitiful as if he wanted to cry at any moment.
The heroines couldn't help but think that this protagonist was pathetic in a negative sense.
I mean you're a guy, can't you be more manly and just admit your lies to your grandmother?
Otherwise, Chizuru will continue to be misunderstood as your girlfriend. You're making trouble for others.
Chizuru sighed. She had told Kazuya to tell his grandmother about their relationship since a few days ago. She had even done it to her own grandmother but Kazuya? Until now he still hasn't told his grandmother.
This man is troublesome.
"So this is your neighbor. Hello Kazuya, I am Eiji Seiya. I am currently on a date with Chizuru. I would appreciate it if you immediately put our orders that are in your hands on the table."
Eiji shamelessly mentioned that he and Chizuru were dating.
Chizuru did not dispute what he said because that was the fact even if the details were not mentioned.
"S-Sorry, here's your order."
Kazuya just remembered about the remaining order in his hand and he hurriedly put it on the table.
Still, he felt humiliated and very jealous that Chizuru did not refute what Eiji said. And even more pathetic, he had to serve food and drinks for them.
He was like a victim of NTR that he was helpless and could only watch as the woman he liked would eat together with another man in a private room.
{Aaahhhh! Eiji, right? I'll remember your name! Chizuru is dating you just because of her job and you rented her for that!}
{I don't know what your relationship with Ruka is but she loves me! Even if you were more handsome than me, I'm sure she would choose me over you!}
Kazuya's eyes turned red and he hurriedly walked out of the room because he was worried he would cry in front of everyone.
Ruka bowed politely to Eiji and Chizuru even though she was also jealous and reluctant to leave the two of them together.
And to be honest, she herself was not sure who she should choose if she had to choose between Kazuya and Eiji.
However, one thing was certain.
Her heart was beating faster since she met Eiji again.
'Sorry Kazuya, but I might...'
After Kazuya and Ruka left, Eiji ate with Chizuru in the private room. They didn't mind what happened before even though a moment later Chizuru asked curiously.
"Eiji-kun, where do you know Ruka-san?"
"At school." Eiji answered honestly while deliberately smearing some sauce on his lips. "More precisely three days ago when my school held the School Festival. Ruka was a student from another school visiting at that time and we accidentally met and got acquainted before I showed her around the school."
"Oh..." Chizuru did not expect Eiji to give her such a detailed answer, she was a little happy but also surprised. What did she just hear? "Wait Eiji-kun, you said school? You... Are you a high school student like Ruka?"
"Don't you know yet? Ah, I haven't told you yet, right? Well, I'm actually a second year high school student attending Kuoh Academy."
"...!"
Chizuru was surprised because she thought with Eiji's appearance and the wealth that radiated from him, he was a young businessman in his twenties.
But no, he was a high school student?!
Meaning he was a few years younger than a second year college student like herself.
"Ahem! By the way, Chizuru. Did you see something on my lips?" Eiji coughed while gesturing for the woman he was referring to to do her duty as a girlfriend.
Chizuru realized what the boy wanted and her lips twitched. But as a professional even though this was the first time she was doing it to a client, she took a tissue on the table and gently wiped Eiji's lips.
She was giving the boy a mouth service she had never done to any other client.
Just then they looked at each other and from such a close distance, Chizuru could not help but think Eiji was very handsome.
And knowing he was younger than her, she looked at him more tenderly like an older sister.
That sight fell into the eyes of Kazuya who was now peeking at what was happening in the room from the CCTV monitor!
He bit the napkin in his hand to hold back the envy in his heart but it was useless, he couldn't stop himself from crying like a loser.
{Uwaaaah! What is this? This is the first time I've seen Chizuru doing such intimate things with her clients. In the past, she never did it to me!}
{But when the client is Eiji, why is she spoiling him so much?! I watched them from the CCTV monitor to ensure Chizuru's safety because I was worried about Eiji doing something bad to her.}
{Even so...! Waaah! Why? Why do I have to see this?!}
Eiji: Heheh. Kazuya, did you enjoy it?
Chizuru: That guy... Doesn't he know what customer privacy is?
While Eiji was happy to hear Kazuya's cries.
Chizuru was annoyed and glared at the CCTV camera in the corner of the room.
