Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

A little after I sent Aurora and the others toward the classroom, Erika, who for some reason had been talking with Pope Mirishu and Kuna-san, was giving me a dead-eyed look. If it were only Erika it would be fine, but when Relia and Tia gave me that look too I could not stand it. We were too far to hear the voices so I did not know why I was getting the look. I tilted my head. Pope Mirishu looked like her cheeks were actually red, which was truly rare, and she had her face down in embarrassment. Kuna-san was smiling wryly at Pope Mirishu’s state, but I felt like her cheeks were a little red too. Erika sighed at me and had Pope Mirishu and Kuna-san go back to the carriage. Then Erika and Karinal got in as well, but Relia and Tia did not. They watched the carriage slowly start off. As the two of them passed beside me they said with troubled smiles,

“Raide-sama is a sinful man… you really are a ’handful.’”

“The nickname ’handful’ was not that far off, was it.”

I did not know what they were talking about. I rubbed the back of my neck with one hand and followed behind Relia and Tia.

…There should not be a flag like that with Pope Mirishu and Kuna-san, of all people. The suspicion did not even seem fully cleared yet… Hm. Well, if that time comes, that time comes. I decided that in my heart, switched over, and tightened my feelings. After all, I had to go to the classroom now and apologize to the students for making them worry.

Back in the instructor’s office I sat at my desk, leaned into the backrest, and let out a big breath. Result only, they forgave me, but I had not thought I would be told for a whole hour not to overdo it. Being worried about by students was not an unhappy thing in the instructor job, but I had not thought Felica would jump in halfway through… Hilbyid talked to me about one human’s limits, Roy talked about safety, and Lucy talked about Lucian. I smiled wryly and looked up at the ceiling. A teacup was set on the desk. I thanked Ruu who had prepared it and she smiled happily. Today’s escorts were Ruu and Mimine. While I was surrounded by students they had sent me warm looks the same way they always did.

Ruu went behind me, wrapped both arms around from the back, and hugged me with my head caught between breasts like melons. The fresh spring-breeze scent and the softness of her chest gave me a sense of relief. I smiled in a troubled way and took a sip of tea. Mimine was sitting on the three-seater sofa Croana had set in the instructor’s office at some point, looking this way, watching me with a happy smile. When I set the cup on the desk Ruu tightened her hug a little more, buried my head further in her chest, and started talking.

“Raide-sama, I heard from Lady Croana. Are you heading to Santony soon?”

“Hm? Yeah, also as training for the students. I explained it to Croana so she may know, but there’s a person there who examines skill effects. I can control it now, but I still want to know the effects.”

“I didn’t know there was someone like that in Santony… why isn’t that person famous?”

“Because you can’t meet them easily. For the record, I think Sharle and the others know up to the entrance. It’s where we met again.”

“Eh… does that mean maybe…”

“Raide-sama, is that in a back alley?”

Instead of answering Mimine’s question I laughed happily and got a troubled smile. For the record, the Kuro’s Bracelet I gave Pafa this morning had also run out of stock, so I wanted to restock. In the game it made you think about how to use it. In reality I had realized there were all kinds of ways to use it. If another child like Pafa was in trouble I did not want to regret not having the item. Then the best thing was to stock it quickly and keep it on hand, and as outdoor training for the students the distance was just right.

…I should call Taylor and have him arrange an inn. To say more, I wanted the students to hear the thinking of Taylor, who had been vice-captain. He was one of my teachers since I reincarnated into this world. I thought there was nothing to lose by listening.

I had Ruu, who was hugging me, take letter paper from the shelf and wrote a letter to Taylor. I would arrange to have it delivered on the way home today. A letter would arrive in a few days. For small things this world had something called transfer devices, and for mail it was set up to arrive in a few days. I knew the size for transferring people, but that was classified, and only royalty would know it existed. Because it was classified I could not talk as if I knew it existed, and I could not say I knew. Considering Pope Mirishu had visited from the quite distant Holy Kingdom of Kail, she might have used a transfer device, but… the reason they kept it classified was here. If word spread that you could easily come to a distant place from another country, troublesome cases would increase. I must not forget that there were many in the world who would use it for bad reasons.

When it was almost noon the instructor’s office door was knocked and I answered. I thought Erika had come back and looked at the door, then saw the people who entered and almost held my head. The ones who came in were Pope Mirishu and Kuna-san wearing the academy-designated student uniforms. I smiled in a troubled way and stood from my seat. With a bra on, Pope Mirishu’s chest no longer needed to be cinched. You could call it a weapon just by being shown. On top of that the embarrassed face, faintly red cheeks, and mysterious atmosphere were drawing out Pope Mirishu’s charm.

Kuna-san had apparently stopped wrapping cloth too. I could confirm the large chest matching the profile. I could, but… she could make that face? When Kuna-san confirmed it was me she closed the room door, smiled faintly, and her cheeks were faintly red after all. I walked over to the two of them and prompted them to sit on the sofa in the room. Pope Mirishu smiled and nodded while looking around the room as if it were novel. I sat on the sofa across from where they sat, rubbed the back of my neck with one hand, and asked,

“Um, the two of you, that appearance?”

“Fufu. Everyone was wearing it and I became interested. So I imposed on Lady Erika and had Principal Croana prepare them.”

“I see… Pope Mirishu? Kuna-san, what are you doing too?”

“Eh… I really thought it was good underwear.”

“…? Did I give my name?”

No, no. Even so, please do not knead your chest right in front of me!? Pope Mirishu had buried both hands deep in what you could call weapon-chests and started squishing. Kuna-san undid about two upper buttons of her blouse and was playing with one hand too… I looked away from their blank faces, pressed my forehead with one hand, and said,

“Please give me a break. I am a man, you know?”

“Um… I was taught that if they are too large people will not take an interest…”

“Isn’t beauty what people put more weight on?”

“There are also people who take an interest in chests. I am a human on the side that ends up taking an interest. Please stop… I am asking you.”

“Eh… eh?”

“…Fah?”

At my words both of them went bright red, stopped touching their chests, and went quiet. I kept looking away with a troubled face. Who taught them that… what in the world was the Pope’s education. The Pope, or rather the Holy Kingdom of Kail, but Maya and the others had been embarrassed, right? …? Had they not made some huge mistaken interpretation? For the record, silence continued for a while and I ended up looking up at the ceiling.
