Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

After closing the tavern and finishing the cleanup, I gathered the lovers and explained the skill.

I wanted to ask why Relia and Tia, Karinal and Hilbyid were there, but I stopped myself.

If I asked that, I would also have to ask why the twins were there.

I told them it was not to be spoken of elsewhere and then explained, so it should be fine.

I conveyed my own interpretation of what happened when I touched Senai and Merry.

That it probably activates when both sides are in that kind of mood, but that it also sometimes activates even when they are not in that mood.

Everyone’s reaction was surprise, but they didn’t seem to dislike it that much, which surprised me.

While looking around at the lovers letting out sighs of relief, I involuntarily tilted my head.

Isn’t climaxing just from being touched normally something they would dislike?

Look, the twins’ faces are bright red, aren’t they?

At the end I told everyone I would investigate the skill’s effects and activation conditions soon, then we dismissed.

The escort for Maya and the others, Lucian, Aurora and the others, and Porte on their way home was taken on by Croana and the other two.

When I said “sorry,” I was begged for kisses by Croana, Fia and Lea; even with the skill I had no choice but to give kisses that only touched.

At that time the skill did not activate, and my head became even more full of question marks.

Relia and Tia returned together with Hilbyid under Karinal’s guard and with the fairy species escorting them.

When I asked if walking was all right, the two puffed their cheeks together and protested, which troubled me.

I received the words “You’re too overprotective” and “We cannot live if we are only frail,” but… they are princesses in the first place, right?

I returned to the inn’s residence space, ate a little dinner, then took a bath and prepared for sleep.

Judging that sleeping together was dangerous because of the skill, I decided to sleep on the sofa.

I was told it was fine, but this time I had them let me refuse.

I woke to the sensation of someone stroking my head.

When I opened my eyelids a little, faint sunlight was coming in from the window, telling me it was early morning.

Turning my face toward the person stroking me with blurry vision, I thought she laughed softly and then she said,

“The effect is a little too strong.”

“Pafa…?”

“I adjusted it for you, you troublesome one.”

I sat up, wiped my eyes with the hem of one sleeve, and looked at Pafa with clear eyes.

Pafa was sitting in front of the sofa, smiling softly and gently at me as usual.

I had heard from Nimi once before that Pafa’s condition had been strange, but after that she had been normal so I hadn’t paid it much mind…

While stroking Pafa’s head with one hand, I asked in a gentle voice.

“Pafa, what do you mean by adjusted?”

“Nnn~? What about it? Good morning, Raide~”

“No… it’s nothing. Good morning, Pafa.”

I caught Pafa’s body as she jumped at me with a soft laugh, wrapped both arms around her back and hugged her gently.

Pafa’s existence is certainly mysterious; unraveling it is probably impossible, but it still concerns me.

Fia had explained it as the embodiment of Nimi’s wish, but… I don’t understand.

My knowledge isn’t enough, so maybe I should ask Fia today.

Thinking that, I stroked her head with one hand while hugging Pafa; she narrowed her eyes as if it felt good and looked up at me.

When I released Pafa and stood to get ready at the washbasin, Pafa poked the hem of my clothes with a finger and I tilted my head.

“Raide, I want to eat sweets.”

“…Hmm, then I’ll buy some on the way home today.”

’Fufu, thank you~”

I smiled at Pafa who had come to beg, thinking it unusual, and stroked her head.

Pafa concerns me, but my own skill also concerns me.

More than anything, not being able to hug the lovers freely is… painful.

I avoided Hilbyid’s event; at this period it should be fine even if I move a little.

While getting ready at the washbasin I confirmed the time was 6:00 in the morning; Nimi and the others would be waking soon.

After Nimi and the others woke I told them about Pafa, and they said something similar had happened in the kitchen yesterday as well.

I should definitely ask Fia today.

Deciding that in my heart, we all ate breakfast, helped at the inn, then headed to the academy.

While heading there I suddenly noticed… I had hugged Pafa, but there had been no change?

Immediately after arriving at the academy I headed to the principal’s office.

Feeling apologetic for coming in the busy morning hours, I knocked on the principal’s office door.

After Croana’s voice came from inside I opened the door, and immediately Lea jumped at me.

I gently hugged and caught Lea, smiled troubledly and said,

“I said it yesterday too—I don’t know when the skill will activate, you know?”

“Ahahaha! If it’s Raide I don’t mind no matter how many times!”

“Lea~~”

’Kufufu, it can’t be helped.”

Saying that, Lea left me and floated softly through the air toward the sofa where Fia was sitting.

I smiled troubledly at Lea’s condition and rubbed the back of my neck with one hand, then turned my face to Croana who was smiling happily and said,

“Sorry for coming at a busy time.”

’Kukku, I’ve said it many times, haven’t I? Who would dislike their lover visiting. So what is it today?”

“I wanted to ask Fia about Pafa.”

“Did something happen with Pafa?”

While I was explaining to Croana, Fia placed her cup on the table, floated a glossy smile, tilted her head and asked.

Fia indicated the facing sofa with her palm; I followed and sat on the sofa opposite Fia.

Then I explained what had happened yesterday and Pafa’s condition this morning.

Fia smiled a little troubledly, folded her arms and said,

“It’s difficult. First I want you to know that existences like Pafa don’t use magic power.”

“Not magic power?”

“Yes. Even if you ask what power it is then, I don’t know—I’m sorry. That it isn’t magic power is certain because I have watched a friend. I also learned a method to affect it a little with magic power at that time, which is why I can become Pafa’s power. And if there is something I can say, it is a power that can do rarer things than magic power.”

“Rarer… things.”

Fia lifted the cup, took a sip, thought a little then began to continue.

Looking at Lea quietly sitting beside Fia, I was made to reconfirm that one must not judge by appearance.

“That’s right~, for example creating something new, perhaps.”

“…Hey hey.”

“It’s an example. And even if she could, she wouldn’t do it. Her own power would run out and she would become unable to exist. In other words that kind of power—a power that does things magic power cannot. Well, I’ve only seen her using it a few times though.”

“…It’s difficult.”

’Kusu, I said it was difficult, didn’t I.”

“No… thank you for telling me. It helped.”

“It’s fine.”

When I lowered my head to Fia I was looked at with eyes that look at someone precious, became embarrassed and rubbed the back of my neck with one hand.

After finishing a little casual talk and reports I thanked Croana and the others and left the principal’s office, then after closing the door I started walking toward the instructor’s room.

Fia had said a power that does things magic power cannot… create, huh.

Pafa did say she adjusted it—could it be about the skill? Did she involve herself with my skill?

If so, how much power did she use…

When I return to the inn I have to immediately impress on her not to use it, even if I don’t know whether it will get through to the current Pafa.

Pafa disappearing is something I must absolutely avoid; I have no intention of trying to do something even at the cost of family lives.

Worrying about Pafa’s body, I let out sigh after sigh until I reached the instructor’s room.
