Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

I came out of the inn and smiled wryly alone.

Nimi and Elycia had asked me to leave so they could talk, so I had stepped outside like this.

What should I do… While thinking that, the good smell of baked bread came to me.

Rinelle must have gone to the Filim Fountain as well, so Eima should be running the shop alone.

I hadn’t been able to help much, and this was a good opportunity, so I entered through the bakery’s back door to help.

The lights on the shop side in the back were off, which made me curious, but I peeked into the kitchen where the smell of baking bread was coming from.

There was Eima, concentrating on the stove without even noticing me entering.

She had a cloth wrapped around her head, but looking at the sweat flowing down the side of her face, it must be hot.

Standing in front of the stove, of course…

I took out a clean cloth from the magic bag, approached beside Eima, and wiped her sweat.

Eima reacted with a start and turned this way vigorously, but when she realized it was me wiping her sweat, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you…”

’Fufu, it’s fine. Thank you for wiping the sweat.”

“Don’t worry about it. More importantly, is the shop closed today? The lights in the back were off.”

“Today is a regular holiday. That’s why I was developing a new bread.”

“I see…”

…Eima is quite a hard worker too—I respect that.

Eima took the baked bread from the stove and placed it on the cutting board.

Then she cut the bread into bite-sized pieces and smiled as she put one into my mouth.

The heat of the freshly baked bread and the faint scent of Ichi spread through my mouth.

I was surprised that the bread was fluffy both outside and inside, but I was even more surprised that it was flavored with Ichi.

Ichi is a strawberry-like fruit often used in desserts, but this was the first time I had eaten it flavored into bread since reincarnating into the Overworld world.

Just adding the fruit’s flavor to the wheat’s taste made me feel so moved—I hadn’t expected that.

While softening my cheeks at the deliciousness and looking at Eima’s face, she sensed from my expression that it had succeeded and smiled happily.

…Being cute is cheating.

Eima placed the bite-sized bread pieces on a plate, tilted her head slightly, and smiled saying, “Shall we have some tea?”

We sat at a four-person table, with Eima sitting opposite me.

When I took a sip of the tea Eima had prepared and told her I had come to help, Eima tilted her head and asked about the twins’ matter.

She said Rinelle had talked about it and she already understood the situation.

As I explained what I had heard from Erika today to Eima, gradually her face became a subtle mix of anger and sadness as she said,

“Is that… is that something a parent would do?!”

“The feelings Eima is holding right now are the general, normal feelings of parents.”

“…Are you going to return them?”

“No way—will you listen?”

I explained the same thing I had told Nimi and Elycia to Eima as well.

Eima, Nimi, and Elycia’s reactions are normal… healthy.

Even if it’s seen as arrogance, I’ll let myself swear on my own that I won’t make the late mother of Scon and Micon suffer.

After hearing the story, Eima made a slightly surprised expression just like Nimi and the others, then immediately smiled happily and said,

“That’s so like Raide-san, isn’t it?”

“Maybe so. A method like this could be criticized if one step is wrong. But the other party’s father thinks of the twins as a nuisance, so no one will criticize from any side.”

“Would it be criticized? On the contrary, you’ll be praised!”

Eima raised her voice volume a little as she said that, and I smiled and nodded.

I talked about Rinelle and the others heading to the Filim Fountain and about making the shampoo.

I shifted my gaze to Eima’s glossy chestnut hair and wondered how much luster would come out if she used shampoo and rinse.

…There should have been a metaphor about quite a lot of hair luster, but I can’t remember what it was.

When I stared intently at Eima’s hair, Eima blushed faintly with a little embarrassment and looked away.

“I’m sweating… so, don’t look too much.”

“Sorry, but I was looking because I thought it was beautiful hair. I’ll give you a small bottle, so will you try using it?”

“Does that mean you want to see me after a bath?”

“Of course I want to see. But I still haven’t received an answer, you know.”

“…You’re still a sly person, aren’t you?”

I smiled wryly at Eima, who blushed, tilted her head, and smiled troubledly.

Indeed, it might have been sly of me to press like that?

I feel like I’ve waited enough, so I think it’s fine to hear the answer.

And besides, I never said I wouldn’t take any action…

While thinking that, Eima kept smiling and looking into my eyes, then narrowed her eyes and said,

“The answer is prepared.”

“…May I hear it?”

’Fufu, but first make Rinelle a lover? I know Raide-san doesn’t care about the order. This is my parental feeling.”

“That way of speaking is almost like stating Eima’s answer… is that rude to say?”

’Fufufu, yes~ Maybe a little rude.”

While Eima and I were laughing happily together, there was a knock on the back door. Eima answered, stood up, and went toward the door.

I didn’t say it to Eima, but I didn’t press about her also stating Rinelle’s answer.

Even so… no matter how many times I experience it, I can’t get used to the tension when becoming lovers.

I was pretending to be calm, but my heart was noisy and I was sweating strangely.

Having calmed down a little, I folded my arms and rubbed my chin with one hand while thinking.

Just words would be a bit plain, so maybe I’ll go shopping…

While thinking about what would be good, Eima returned and smiled wryly saying,

“I was called by Nimi-san, so I’ll go. Also, it seems there’s someone waiting who came to ask about Raide-san?”

“Hmm? For me?”

“Yes, a person named Hilbyid… a student?”

“He’s scheduled to become one directly.”

I stood up, approached Eima, and gave a kiss that only touched her lips.

As expected, I was told “sly person…”, so I smiled, kissed her once more, and went outside through the back door.

When I came out of the bakery, I saw Hilbyid standing with arms folded, staring at the tavern’s exterior.

…No one would think that pear-like breasts are stored in a place that only looks like a male chest.

When Hilbyid spotted me coming out of the bakery’s back door, he smiled, unfolded his arms, and approached.

Eima passed by my side and headed toward the inn… with her face looking down in embarrassment and walking at a quick pace, Eima’s figure was still cute.

Hilbyid glanced only with his eyes at Eima’s figure, and when he came right in front of me, he smiled wryly and said,

“I had heard from Erika-san… but Raide has a lot of lovers.”

“The woman who just entered the inn isn’t a lover. Not yet… More importantly, what’s up? Did a reply come?”

“A reply came, but it’s under consideration. I came here because I wanted to see the place where Raide lives.”

“Haha, reconnaissance?”

’Kukuku, you could say that.”

Because Hilbyid said it mischievously, I laughed, and Hilbyid also laughed happily.

After laughing for a while, I brought my mouth close to Hilbyid’s ear and asked if there was any problem with the chest condition.

Then next, Hilbyid approached as if sticking close to me and told me in a small voice.

He had been introduced to Marika-san’s place by Erika and went while half-doubting.

But contrary to expectations, Marika-san’s skill was good, and she had been caring, so he told me happily.

“Lucian-san is also Raide’s lover, right?”

“…Did you talk?”

“A little. When talking about Raide, if someone makes such a happy face, anyone would notice.”

I felt embarrassed at Hilbyid’s words and rubbed the back of my neck with one hand.

Perhaps that figure was interesting, because I was laughed at happily by Hilbyid.

To change the topic, I asked Hilbyid about today’s schedule, and he told me that today his whole day was free.

“If my schedule wasn’t free, I wouldn’t be able to come to Raide’s place, right? Even so, I’m seriously doing the inspection.”

“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it that way. I was thinking of going out from now, won’t you come along?”

“…That sounds like it could also be an inspection. Yeah, I’ll go with you.”

“More than that, Hilbyid.”

“Hmm~? What is it…”

I smiled and brought my mouth close to Hilbyid’s ear so no one could hear, saying “That slightly sulking face was cute.”

Hearing that, Hilbyid’s cheeks didn’t redden, but his ears rapidly turned red, and he lightly poked my side and looked away.

…With this, how has he been living as a male? The cuteness isn’t completely hidden.
