Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

Nitch and Sera left the tavern right after their church work, and when they did they gave me a hugging kiss as thanks. They left with happy faces.

After finishing the tavern’s preparation, I headed to the inn to check on the twins.

When I entered the residence space, Elycia had also come and the twins were clinging to her from both sides.

“Are you feeling well?”

“Yes…”

“I’m fine…”

Elycia smiled gently and hugged the twins tightly with both hands. When she noticed me entering, she tilted her head happily.

While watching the twins’ condition with a pleasant expression beside Elycia, I told Nimi about the tavern’s preparation situation.

When Nimi heard my report, she smiled gently and thanked me, then asked Elycia to take care of the twins and headed to the tavern.

Today was a school holiday, so Elycia would come to check on them later, and I told the twins that.

The twins smiled happily despite my worries, and I and Elycia both smiled with relief.

While watching the twins, I noticed something slightly concerning.

It was their way of acting spoiled toward Nimi and Elycia.

It was spoiled as if they had no mother, and I tilted my head to myself.

They didn’t seem to be living apart, but I couldn’t figure it out from the game profiles.

…I’ll ask Croana later.

If they have parents, they should be precious, and I must apologize for putting them in danger.

While thinking that, I left the twins with Elycia and went outside the inn. When I did, I spotted Erika walking toward me.

Behind Erika, the song princesses and Porte were following with worried faces.

They said they had come because they were worried about the twins, and I smiled and bowed my head.

When I told them the twins were with Elycia in the residence space, Erika entered the inn at a quick pace, but Erika herself stayed behind with a slightly dissatisfied expression and folded her arms.

When I tilted my head asking what was wrong, Erika let out a large sigh and said,

“I asked Croana to contact a relative, but the response was terrible and I’m angry.”

“…May I hear it?”

“Yes, I came to tell you instead.”

With a reluctant gesture, Erika lifted the chest on her arm and told me.

The twins’ mother had died of illness when they were young, but their father was alive and lived in the capital.

However, when the twins were little, the father had given them only the house and money and separated, and now he had remarried.

Croana had contacted him yesterday, but the reply felt like “such a thing,” so she responded that way.

I thought it was the least I could do to provide school fees and living expenses, but… it was too cruel.

It was like saying “If you don’t want them anymore, don’t have children in the first place,” and it was even worse than a slime.

From my perspective, the evaluation was below slime level because they could be used effectively.

While thinking that, I felt my cheek gently stroked and looked up to see Erika with a troubled smile.

“You really show your feelings on your face.”

“I wonder if there’s anyone who wouldn’t get angry after hearing that. But I see… If that’s the case, there’s no need to return it, right?”

“Haa… Even I understand what you’re thinking, you know?”

I rubbed my chin with one hand while laughing wryly, and when Erika saw that smile she smiled exasperatedly.

Erika smiled exasperatedly, but it seemed she was thinking the same thing as me and hadn’t stopped what I was about to do.

With that kind of response, under the logic of the Overworld world, it was fine for me to take care of them.

Originally, Croana and I had been considering the parents’ worries.

If they weren’t worried and only said it was a nuisance, it would be fine to never let them see each other again.

If they were remarrying, they probably wouldn’t be worried, right?

When Erika and I finished discussing countermeasures, Erika was reluctant to enter the inn and tilted her head.

Was she tired from today’s talk? I tried to guide her to the tavern, but her expression looked reluctant to enter there too.

When I asked if she was feeling unwell, Erika let out a sigh and said with distant eyes.

“I had already expected the reaction from you, but I still have to report to Nimi-san and her mother from now on, don’t I? …Do you think you can predict how those two will react after I report to them?”

“…They’ll definitely get angry.”

“Haa… right? That’s why my legs feel heavy. Or do you want me to have you report for me?”

“That’s fine, but if you ask if I can report calmly, I’m not confident.”

“Right.”

When I said that, Erika let out a large sigh, and I smiled wryly at her.

I thought Erika, who could make calm judgments, was more suitable than me, who showed her feelings easily.

With heavy steps, Erika first headed into the tavern to report to Nimi.

Somehow… sorry. Next time I’ll spoil you a lot, so please forgive me.

When I saw Erika smiling wryly at the tavern entrance, adventurers were walking toward the entrance of the estate in my peripheral vision. When I turned my face there, I saw Sagua and the adventurers who had attacked during the meeting.

When Sagua spotted me, he waved one hand large, and the adventurers behind him looked exhausted.

It wasn’t supposed to be such a tiring request, though… what happened?

I tilted my head and approached Sagua, who handed me four magic bags and said with a full smile.

“Teacher! The request is completed!”

“Ah, thank you. I already submitted the official request to the guild, so take this to the guild and report. …More importantly, why are you so exhausted?”

“Hmm? Ah… no, that’s… it’s something…”

I handed Sagua the paper with the completion sign from the magic bag. Sagua looked at the tired adventurers behind me and smiled wryly while explaining.

We had been doing well since we left the capital, but after arriving at the gathering spot the difference in skill between the [Bell House] adventurers had appeared.

When I listened, apparently they hadn’t done many long-term outdoor requests, so they couldn’t sleep because of tension and the fatigue hadn’t gone away.

When I heard that from Sagua, I folded my arms and rubbed my chin with one hand while saying to the adventurers who had negotiated.

“You said you’re C-rank like Sagua, right? From the way you look, you’re like D-rank.”

“Wait, Sagua and the others are the ones who are wrong. It’s only natural that hunting and skinning Big Boars every day and collecting until you’re exhausted is wrong.”

“…Hmm? That’s normal. Gather food on-site and complete the request. Where’s the problem?”

“It was Big Boar!”

The other adventurers who heard my words looked distant with tired eyes while looking up at the clear sky.

The average size of a boar was around a person’s waist, but Big Boar became about human size.

The name changed simply because of size, and the behavior of Big Boar was exactly the same as a normal boar except for the name change.

If they had properly learned how to hunt boars at D/E-rank, a Big Boar would just be a bigger one…

Sagua watched the adventurers’ situation with a wry smile and suddenly came up with something.

“Sagua, how about training them? We were planning to take on many requests from now on, but…”

“Teacher, can I do it?”

“Rather than that, why don’t Sagua and the others organize the [Bell House] adventurers? If there’s no work like this, they make mistakes because there’s no leader.”

“Teacher? Teacher? Are you listening? What if I do it!?”

“Hahaha! It can’t be helped? Sagua was your acquaintance, right? Is there another suitable person?”

“It’s not a laughing matter! We’re already a clan!!”

“It’s fine, just make a clan.”

Sagua sat down holding his head, and I laughed loudly at that.

If you can’t do it, just make it. If you’re going to make mistakes, just surround them.

A clan, simply explained, is like a large party.

Either way, we’re receiving requests through the guild, so it doesn’t change; only the management of the members who belong to the clan as a clan increases.

I thought that if we could handle more requests, it wasn’t such a bad idea.
