I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 100
After a while, the hunt for the Silver Wolves was over.
The adventurers who had been hunting further away gathered with us.
There were easily more than ten, which should be enough for the students to work with.
Familiar faces from the tavern were there, storing the Silver Wolves in magic bags.
Normally, dismantling is done after descending the mountain.
The scent of their comrades’ bl00d draws others in, making dismantling dangerous.
What’s interesting is that even if you butcher them outside the mountain, no wolves follow.
They only come out during a stampede, making their behavior rather mysterious.
The important thing to remember is that only the Silver Wolves on this mountain behave this way. Other Silver Wolves follow different patterns.
Looking over the students, they were utterly exhausted and sitting on the ground.
The adventurers told me there were no injured students, and I thanked them.
In reply, they just smiled and patted me on the shoulder a few times, making me smile wryly.
A female adventurer who fought beside us came over, glanced at the students, and spoke.
“I’d say that’s enough for one day, don’t you think?”
“Hmm… you’re right.”
At my words, the students looked disappointed. Roy, in particular, had his head down next to Lucy.
Thinking the students misunderstood, I began speaking with a slightly exasperated look.
“This was an excellent first battle for all of you. And don’t forget, this is part of your school training. There’s no need to risk your life for real.”
“But still…”
Roy looked up at me with a frustrated expression, and seeing him like that, I let out a long sigh.
The students must have been confident in their abilities and felt they should have gone further.
When I looked at the adventurers, I saw them smiling at the students with nostalgic eyes.
What the students are experiencing now is something the adventurers have all been through, including me.
“Do you know how many novice adventurers make it back alive?”
The students shook their heads in response, and Erika tilted hers with a thoughtful look.
I turned my eyes to Roy, and he responded with a quiet shake of his head.
“According to the guild’s research, the survival rate is about seventy percent. …Roy, how many students are with us today?”
“Thirty…”
Roy mumbled the number, then his expression shifted and he looked around.
Thirty students. With that number, having some injured or even dead would not have been unusual.
Naturally, we focused on safety, and the adventurers also helped ensure their safety.
Even so, the fact that there were no injuries is incredible. We cannot ask for more from a first battle.
The adventurers here have all been wounded multiple times, and some have even lost companions.
Compared to that, this is an excellent outcome. And this is only the beginning.
I looked around at the students and explained in a slightly firmer tone that they should use this experience next time.
They nodded in understanding and began to examine their own bodies to make sure they were okay.
Once I confirmed the students had caught their breath, we started descending while the adventurers guarded us.
Someone gently tapped me on the back while I walked in the rear. I turned around, saw who it was, and smiled.
It was Foria standing there. Her eyes still held a trace of sorrow, but her smile was calm.
Feeling a bit relieved, I spoke to Foria as she began walking beside me.
“You came. Thank you.”
“Hmm, I wanted to get some exercise too. … Sorry for the late thank you, but thank you for that time.”
“Don’t worry about that. What matters now is healing your body and mind. An adventurer’s body is their most important asset, right?”
“…Yeah, that’s true.”
I smiled at Foria and spoke, and she looked slightly surprised before gently returning the smile.
Turning my gaze forward, I saw Synk wrapping her arms around Lucy from behind as she walked next to Roy.
Seeing Roy and Lucy’s surprised reactions and Synk laughing joyfully, I narrowed my eyes and smiled.
It’s so much better to see them laughing happily than wearing a pained expression.
It’s all right to feel down, but I believe that smiling brings good things.
I didn’t realize that Foria had been watching my profile.
After passing through the trees and heading down the mountain, I saw the adventurers on the plain and let out a wry smile.
In front of them lay several boars, laid out on the ground.
They were significantly larger than normal, it was obvious they had gone after big boars on purpose.
When the students saw the boars, they let out joyful cheers mixed with surprise.
“Come here, we’ll teach you how to skin it!”
“It’s the most basic of the basics!”
“Once the butchering’s done, the instructor’s going to cook for usssss!!”
“Geez, guys are always only thinking about food. Girls, it’s fine, go learn from them, okay? …Wait, why are you pulling me!?”
“Eh~~~ Me too~~~~~?”
The male adventurers stood in front of the boars, holding up knives and blades for skinning and butchering.
Meanwhile, two female adventurers who had been providing magical support from behind were being pulled away by the students.
The big sister-type and the laid-back one seemed to have won over the hearts of the students.
I chuckled to myself, thinking that if I didn’t invite them for the next outdoor training, we’d get complaints.
I felt I should say something, not as a warning but just to mention it, so I raised my voice.
“You’ll get dirty, so wear an apron or change clothes before starting! If you change, have the ladies help you cover up from view! …And I’m sure you know this, but male adventurers, don’t peek, okay!?”
“I’m too scared to do that!”
“I don’t want to die, you idiot!”
“You idiot instructor~~~!”
The female students started calling out to the women adventurers nearby, while the male adventurers loudly complained to me.
I smiled brightly and asked if they wanted to do a mock battle since it had been a while, but everyone quickly looked away.
When I placed my hand on a nearby male adventurer’s shoulder, he immediately ran away at incredible speed.
Meanwhile, Roy quietly approached me and hid himself from the female students.
Watching Roy’s actions, I couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
Thanks to the adventurers, six or seven boars were fully butchered, and the students looked exhausted yet happy.
While some were guiding the butchering and skinning, I and a few adventurers prepared the campfire nearby.
I had actually planned to teach them how to handle the gamey smell of Silver Wolf meat and what to do in such cases.
But they brought in so many boars, so I got inspired to really do my best to reward the students and adventurers.
That said, outdoor cooking boils down to two choices: grilling or making soup.
While stews can work during overnight stays, I opt for meals that demand minimal preparation time in the field.
When the students placed the boar meat on a simple stand, I sliced it into pieces about a finger’s thickness and scored the surface.
Then I dunked it in seasoning placed in a barrel beside me, and immediately started grilling it in a frying pan.
The reason for the cuts was to allow the seasoning to soak in during that time.
In no time, the scent of cooking meat spread around, and the students were swallowing loudly in anticipation.
…Alright, I’m gonna grill this until there’s nothing left to grill.
“Don’t just watch. If you’re ready to eat, come get some. Got it? There’s more than enough meat. And make sure you thank the adventurers!”
[Thank you very much!!]
“That’s embarrassing…”
“…This could get addictive.”
“I’m going, don’t pull me along!”
“Wait~~~ Don’t pull me~~~!”
The adventurers laughed shyly at the students’ words, and one after another, they came forward to get some grilled meat.
I couldn’t manage it alone, so Roy offered his help, with Foria lending a hand too.
Once I confirmed that the meat was roughly distributed, I handed some to Roy to eat.
As he began to eat, Roy stared at the meat in surprise, then looked at me intensely and said.
“Huh? Why is the flavor so rich?”
“Is it really? Must be thanks to the freshness and seasonings.”
“…Is it that barrel?”
I nod and show Roy the contents of the barrel, and he tilts his head, staring at it.
The barrel contains a clear liquid, even though it’s been used to marinate meat several times.
Actually, this is a seasoning made by using a large amount of White Tokens, combined with white wine and fruit.
It was something I managed to create by chance, and it used almost double the amount of White Tokens I’d use to make steak at the tavern.
If I told them how many White Tokens I used, I can already foresee my lovers sighing and looking at me with exasperation.
Someone, probably coming for seconds, stood in front of me, and while preparing the meat, I looked at their face and sighed.
“…”
“Teacher, I’d like some more meat!”
“Rolle… weren’t you supposed to be hiding?”
“Impossible! Meat!”
When I looked behind Rolle, who was holding the plate with both hands and offering it to me, I saw Minty, smiling awkwardly, walking toward me with Satur in the distance, who was holding her head with one hand.
Erika, upon spotting the three adventurer girls, approached with a surprised expression and said.
“Rolle-san?”
“Erika, you were so cool! As expected of our employer… Is there any more meat?”
“Eh… uh? Thank you?”
It was such an amusing sight that I couldn’t help but laugh out loud while cooking the meat.
The surrounding adventurers also spotted Rolle and the others, understood the situation, and laughed.
The students were tilting their heads, but they seemed happy as they ate the meat.
But I have to say, isn’t the amount they’re eating a little too small?
I asked the three songstresses who came to return their plates, “Is that really enough?” and they looked at me with surprise.
…Is it because of the adventurers that it feels like too little?
Since the adventurers keep coming for more, my perception of the amount might be skewed.
