I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 105

The current time is 2 PM., the time for training.

As I told the students, today’s training is a lesson in the library.

The plan was to let them read books in the library to make up for the outdoor knowledge.

Some students seemed listless, maybe because they were still feeling yesterday’s exhaustion.

…Maybe I should think about tomorrow’s class as well.

There’s a difference in how seriously the students read the books depending on whether they experienced it firsthand or not.

The students asked me questions a few times, and I responded carefully.

Then Roy walked over with Lucy, and with a troubled expression, he asked me a question.

“Instructor Reid, there’s one thing that bothers me…..”

“Something that’s bothering you?”

“Yes. Instructor Reid, you’re teaching us to use weapons and to prioritize safety, right?”

“…That’s right.”

“Um… Instructor Reid, why didn’t you use weapons in the mountains?”

Roy asked with some difficulty, and the students quietly directed their attention to me.

In other words, everyone was as curious as Roy about why I fought with my bare hands.

I glanced around at the students’ reactions and chuckled, then looked at Roy’s awkward expression.

…He must have been really curious and couldn’t help it.

Letting out a small breath, I folded my arms and started my explanation.

“It’s not a complicated matter; simply put, my mastery of hand-to-hand combat(Taijutsu) is the highest.”

“…Taijutsu?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Unlike everyone else, my mastery is higher in hand-to-hand combat than with weapons. So the most reliable weapon is my own body. It’s not that I can’t use weapons, but on a battlefield where lives are at stake… The weapon you can trust most is the best. …Anyone who’s experienced real combat would understand, right?”

When I glanced at the students, they were nodding strongly at my words.

If their proficiency with their preferred weapon is already high, it’s more efficient and safer to improve that.

But in my case, Taijutsu is my specialty, and my proficiency has grown several times more than with other weapons.

If that’s the case, I feel less anxious and can trust myself more if I use martial arts.

After explaining that to the students, they seemed convinced and returned their gaze to the books.

Roy bowed slightly and smiled as if he understood, and Lucy also bowed before returning to her seat.

…Well, I guess it’s something they’d naturally be curious about.

Honestly, even I was surprised when I checked the status screen after reincarnating.

Watching the battle, it’d be strange not to be surprised, I thought to myself with a wry smile.

“Why are you laughing strangely?”

“…Erika, what’s wrong?”

“Come over here, please…”

Erika, who had been next to me without me noticing, smiled with slight exasperation, and I laughed awkwardly to cover up my embarrassment.

When I asked why, Erika gently tugged at my sleeve and pulled me behind a bookshelf.

Erika leaned against the bookshelf, crossed her arms, and began to speak with a troubled smile.

She rested her br3asts on her arms and they jiggled, as expected but as her lover, I wondered whether I should caution her.

…If asked whether I don’t want to see it, the truth is I do want to.

“Is that mountain where the white tokens can be gathered?”

“…Yeah, that’s right, why?”

“Why? That’s not good. I can’t go to see it in my current state. Though, Merine might be able to go with you…”

Erika was probably talking about the promise I made to show her the white tokens.

We hadn’t set a date to go show them because of all the busyness, so I was a bit surprised Erika brought it up.

Shrugging, I spoke casually as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“If I carry you, Erika, then we can go, right?”

“…Are you stupid?”

With a slight sigh, Erika looked at me with a deadpan expression.

Chuckling at Erika’s response, I caressed her cheek, and she gave me a sharp look while blushing slightly.

If you ask whether it’s actually possible, I’d say yes, it probably is.

But I don’t know Merine’s strength, and we’ll have to hire adventurers as guards.

The three adventurers guarding Erika might be enough, but extra preparation won’t hurt.

As I gently stroked Erika’s cheek and explained, she let out a big sigh and smiled in exasperation.

Then she touched my hand that was on her cheek and said with a seductive smile.

“Please wait a little longer; I’ll show you how strong I can become.”

“…I understand, Erika.”

I leaned in and gave the adorable Erika a light kiss, she was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed as she huffed in annoyance.

While stepping out from behind the bookshelf, Erika gently tapped my back and I suppressed a chuckle.

Still huffing, she went back to join the three songstresses, Porte, and Linare.

Folding my arms, I smiled as I watched Erika’s back, then glanced over the students.

With training time drawing to a close, I strolled among them and instructed the students to tidy their books and be dismissed.

I looked toward Roy and saw him picking something up, and I let out a deep sigh.

I went up to Roy, glanced at the Western-style doll in his hand, and asked him.

“What happened?”

“No, just this doll was lying here…”

“I see… I’ll hold onto it. I’ll ask the teachers and instructors if it belongs to a student.”

“Thank you.”

Roy smiled with relief at my words and handed me the doll.

I didn’t put the doll I was given into my magic bag; instead, I held it in my hand as I watched the students leave the library.

While walking out of the library, I looked at the doll in my hand and tilted my head.

It was a Western-style doll with cream-colored hair and a light blue dress, roughly the size to fit in one hand.

…No one said this event would take place in the library, did they?

While staring at the doll, a warm breeze brushed my cheek, despite being indoors.

Smiling to myself, I murmured while glancing around to make sure no students were left behind.

“Sharle?”

“Yes, hello. What’s with that doll?”

“Ah, this… I ‘found’ it.”

“…Again?”

I offered a wry smile at Sharle’s exasperated tone and looked around the library.

By saying I ‘found’ this doll, I must have become the target.

Sharle sighed softly and then began speaking in a serious tone.

“Report. The son of the Dwarf Merchant Guild has been sent to the mines for 30 years. Count Deus has officially been stripped of his title and likewise sent to the mines… well, the former count’s for 10 years, though.”

“…The Eternal Darkness Mine?”

“…As expected, you knew. Right, 30 years and 10 years there… I hope they manage to survive their sentences.”

Sharle smiled in a slightly amused way, and I replied with a wry, exasperated grin.

There’s no way they’ll serve out the term safely, the Eternal Darkness Mine is as dark as its name suggests.

Even using magical tools or lighting fires, it’s still dark; inexplicably so, only your hands are visible.

Though prisoners with the same sentences should be nearby, you can neither see nor hear them.

You can only confirm your own presence at your hands, and you must keep mining.

Any ordinary person would go insane after ten days.

To imagine that stretched over years is enough to drive you mad.

Walking toward the library exit, I spoke to the still-smiling Sharle.

“…I have a favor to ask. Are you busy?”

“Sigh… is this about that doll?”

“Yeah, I think it’ll go well… but just in case things go south.”

“If something happens to you during that ‘worst case,’ I’m the one Erika will scold, you know?”

“…Yeah, sorry about that.”

Sharle let out a long sigh next to me as she agreed while we walked out of the library.

As I walked toward the instructors’ office, I glanced at the doll again and let out a quiet sigh.

TL Note: Debating whether or not to use Taijutsu, hand to hand combat, martial arts, etc. For Reid’s skill, maybe a mix of everything like this chapter, depending on what fits at the time…
