Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

I was sitting in a chair in the instructor’s room, regulating my rough breathing.

Continuing from yesterday as today’s escort, Miina held out fruit juice with ice made by magic.

Sitting opposite, also continuing from yesterday as escort, Hurlin had both cheeks in her hands and was smiling troubledly.

“Raide-sama, you overdid it too much~”

“Haa haa, sorry… haaa, but I was worried.”

“Even so, running back to the inn at full strength and then coming to the academy again… Raide-sama is earnest, aren’t you?”

“Even so, I’m an instructor…”

At my words the two floated troubled smiles and looked at each other’s faces.

I had left the principal’s office and arrived at the instructor’s room, but Pafa’s condition concerned me so much I could no longer work.

If I had said it earlier at that time… the words I hate circled my head, and before I knew it I was running toward the inn.

If I was going to think that, I should go and tell them—I had been far too cautious.

When I returned to the inn with ragged breath, Nimi and Pafa who saw my figure were surprised and ran up.

By the way, when Nimi learned why I had returned she hugged me while floating a smile overflowing with motherhood.

At that time the skill wasn’t even in my head; I cautioned Pafa a little strongly not to use her mysterious power, not to use it too much.

That if she used it too much she would disappear from before us, that there was a possibility she would disappear even with the effect of [Kuro’s Bracelet]—I conveyed it slowly, strongly and surely.

Pafa herself seemed to understand somehow; at my condition she smiled softly and happily and nodded “Un, promise,” which relieved me.

I hugged that Pafa, and there I finally remembered the skill and separated our bodies.

From there, as Miina had said, I ran at full strength again and returned to the academy.

Thinking that slipping out of the academy even though I’m an instructor is as expected bad, I cooled down and felt a little chill…

My breathing finally settled and I drank the fruit juice Miina had prepared.

Perhaps because it was Rene fruit juice, a moderate sourness spread through my body that had sweated and lost moisture.

The fruit called Rene, to put it simply, is something like a grapefruit.

I expressed it as something like a grapefruit because you can taste not only sourness but also sweetness equally.

When it reaches full ripeness the sourness hides and the sweetness stands out—that is Rene.

I know a shop that makes it into jam; it’s a fairly popular shop and I often see women lining up.

…Shall I buy sweets from there for Pafa on the way home.

While doing such things the time had passed 12:00 before I knew it, and I started organizing documents even if just a little.

Seeing me start organizing documents, Miina and Hurlin said it was dangerous because the skill would activate, yet they came sitting on my lap or hugging from behind, which troubled me.

“Both of you…”

“Sorry, but I was a little envious of Senai and Merry…”

“Even if it activates, we’ll just be happy.”

“…Don’t blame me no matter what happens, okay? It’s not that I don’t want to touch either…”

“”Raide-sama…””

No, that’s why I said don’t hug so strongly…

Fortunately for me and unfortunately for the two, the skill did not activate until training time.

There’s also that I tried not to touch from my side… honestly, it’s really hard.

When a precious person is right in front of you, is there anyone who wouldn’t hug them?

I don’t think there is, so I want someone to praise me for finishing organizing the documents while enduring the impulse to hug.

Time: past 16:00 at the training ground.

While folding my arms I looked around at the students training, confirming whether there were any abnormalities in the students’ bodies or whether they were worrying.

Posu posu…

Near the academy wall Relia and Tia were raising their magic mastery, and nearby Karinal and Hilbyid were hitting the wall raising the mastery of their proficient weapons.

Posu posu posu…

When I taught them how to raise mastery the four made quite surprised faces; when Hilbyid tried hitting the wall and showed raising mastery they began training earnestly.

Posu posu posu!

I had thought the four’s mastery was high, so I was surprised confirming it was lower than imagined.

Relia and Tia aside, that Karinal and Hilbyid were low truly surprised me.

Posu! Posu! Posu! Posu!

“…Erika?”

“Muuu~!”

“That, even if it’s light it actually hurts, you know…?”

“It’s punishment! Punishment for making your lover cry!”

“Ah~, I said from next time I’ll consult properly, right? Forgive me…”

Erika had been hitting my back so the students couldn’t see.

When Erika stopped hitting she puffed her cheeks and averted her face.

Looking only with my eyes at that Erika I smiled wryly and recalled yesterday.

The reason Erika became like this is the clan matter I told Sagua; the money management reached Erika’s ears before I could convey it.

I was also at fault for forgetting, but when she entered the tavern, stared at me teary-eyed and silently trembled her body, I as expected reflected and felt apologetic.

By the way hitting my back has been since this morning, and even so the strength she hits with is gentle and a little heartwarming.

When I lightly cleared my throat, Erika looked at me sideways while still averting her face.

“How about a café with delicious sweets or something on the way home today?”

“…Passing grade. Really, really~ consult next time. Even late at night is fine, understood?”

“Sorry, I was certainly too hasty. I’m reflecting. Next time I’ll definitely consult Erika first, and then let’s slowly increase the funds, okay?”

“That’s fine. …Wait a moment, increase? Even more? Do you really understand my feelings?!”

Grabbing the clothes of my back tightly with both hands, Erika started shaking my body.

Aurora and the others training at an angle where they could see Erika’s figure were looking at that Erika and smiling troubledly.

I laughed a little at Erika’s reaction, and noticing that Erika gently hit my back again with a posu!

If I don’t escort her properly on the way home I’ll really be disliked…

After confirming the students had headed to the Filim Fountain I was still standing at the academy’s main gate.

Then Erika slowly walked out from inside the academy; when she found my figure she puffed her cheeks cutely.

Wanting to ask if she was doing it on purpose from how cute the reaction was, I approached Erika and, though afraid of the skill, hugged her gently.

“You’re playing with me too much!”

“Haha, Erika’s reaction is cute… I’m sorry.”

“It’s not that I’m seriously angry—please consult… nnmuu, nhaa… enough!”

“I’ll consult, my partner.”

“Please say lover there!”

Contrary to her words Erika smiled happily, wrapped her left arm around my right arm and pressed her chest against me.

…If I don’t unravel the skill soon I’ll end up like an ascetic monk.

After letting out a tired-looking breath I conveyed what I had just thought while smiling wryly; Erika said in a small voice “Everyone is waiting, you know?” with slightly flushed cheeks and a glossy smile.

At the provocation as if saying it’s revenge, I smiled troubledly and rubbed the back of my neck with my free left hand.

Perhaps she had at least taken a shower; a good scent of soap and roses came from Erika.

In that state I escorted Erika to the café.

“This is the capital…”

“Please wait!”

“Your voice is loud, you know?”

“I’m sorry. But please stop acting alone.”

“Haa… I had been looking forward to sightseeing, but it seems impossible?”

“A hole will open in my stomach… please forgive me.”

“Well, fine. So which way is the church where Maya and the others are?”

“…This way, Pope Mirishu.”
