I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 107

The main street bathed in the setting sun.

With only a few people around, we walked toward the Suzuya tavern.

Walking on my right, Croana had a thoughtful, slightly troubled look on her face.

“Hmm… So, Puffa was lured here by some smell?”

“Y-yeah…”

Puffa, the girl clinging naturally to my left arm, responded quietly to Croana’s words.

When I asked for her name, she thought for a moment and introduced herself as Puffa.

At the same time she introduced herself, Croana came to the instructor’s room.

According to Croana, she sensed a strange magic and came to check it out.

After I explained the situation to Croana, she began asking Puffa various questions to make sure she wasn’t dangerous.

When I said we were heading back to Suzuya, it turned out Croana had finished her work too, so she came along.

Since Fia and Lea arrived, they’ve been helping Croana with her work.

Croana smiled happily, saying she could now get things done quicker than when she worked alone.

After hearing Puffa’s reply, Croana glanced at me and gave a wry smile.

“No idea. I’ve never seen a species like Puffa’s before either.”

“Even you don’t know, Croana?”

“Fia-ane-sama might know something, but… if it’s not in my knowledge, the chances aren’t good.”

“…Hmm.”

When I looked to my left at Puffa, she was glancing around curiously at the streets and passersby’s.

Puffa looked like she was seeing it all for the first time, clearly enjoying herself. After a moment’s thought, I asked her something.

“Puffa, would you do anything to hurt us?”

“N-no.”

“I see… I believe you.”

Puffa gave me a gentle smile, then quickly turned her gaze back to the surroundings.

I turned to Croana, and she was looking at me with a slightly exasperated smile.

I tilted my head with a smile, and Croana shook her head and spoke.

“No, I was just thinking how kind you are, Reid.”

“…You think so?”

“Kuku… Normally, someone would turn her over to the guards instead of taking her home.”

“Yeah… That’s true.”

Just like Croana said, she had nearly attacked me.

Maybe the reason I couldn’t leave her behind was because I already knew about Puffa.

If I hadn’t known, I probably would’ve handed her over to the guards or Croana as a suspicious figure.

Unsure how to justify taking her in, I awkwardly rubbed the back of my neck with my free right hand.

Finding my reaction amusing, Croana laughed as she looked at me.

–

When we arrived at the Suzuya tavern, I gently took Puffa’s hand and led her inside.

Inside, I happened to see Fia walking right in front of me, serving drinks.

Fia gave me a graceful smile upon spotting me, then immediately shifted her gaze to Puffa, who was hiding behind my back with just her face peeking out.

Fia gave me a puzzled look and approached cautiously.

“Well now, what an unusual guest you’ve brought.”

“…Do you know?”

“Yes, well… I guess so.”

Fia moved from facing me to standing beside me and gazed at Puffa with a smile.

Puffa looked at Fia with a uneasy expression and tightly grabbed the back of my clothes.

Surprised by Puffa’s first reaction, I quietly watched their interaction.

When Fia extended one hand to Puffa, the girl tentatively reached out and touched it.

As if assessing something, Fia gently took Puffa’s hand and tilted her head.

Then, noticing the bracelet on her wrist, she smiled knowingly and looked at me.

“Ah, that makes sense, no wonder she appeared so stable.”

“Stable?”

“I’ll give you an explanation soon, but for now, sit down. It’s hard to relax standing up, after all.”

“…That’s true.”

Once we sat at a nearby table, Puffa joined me, and Croana headed into the kitchen, entrusting the rest to Fia.

Fia said she’d fetch us drinks and headed into the kitchen.

“Wear this, pleaseeeeeeee!!”

“Wait! Lea-anee-sama!?”

“Ahahaha!! You’re sooo cuuuuute!!”

“Stop, please stop!!”

Voices from Lea and Croana echoed from the kitchen, and the adventurers on the floor laughed cheerfully at what they heard.

I gave a wry smile just as Fia and Niimi emerged from the kitchen, laughing with amused exasperation.

When Puffa saw Niimi, she leaped from her seat and ran over to her.

Taken aback, I also sprang to my feet.

But Fia waved a hand reassuringly, smiling as if to say it was okay.

Puffa threw herself into Niimi’s arms from the front, burying her face in her chest and froze.

Although puzzled, Niimi wrapped her arms around Puffa’s back, returning the hug while glancing at me.

I was just as bewildered by Puffa’s actions and shook my head in surprise.

With Puffa still clinging to her, Niimi held onto her as Fia guided them closer to me.

“Puffa is a being formed entirely from someone’s will and emotions.”

“…Eh?”

“To spare you a complicated explanation, she’s the embodiment of Niimi’s will and emotions. Why her specifically, I don’t know, but such occurrences are extremely rare in this world.”

“So that’s why you brought Niimi here?”

“Yes, exactly. It’s not surprising Croana couldn’t tell. If one hasn’t been around beings like these for a long time, it’s difficult to perceive them clearly.”

Seeing a hint of sadness in Fia’s expression, I held back from asking further.

She must have spent time with beings like Puffa before, I thought.

Noticing my sudden silence, Fia quietly murmured, “Thank you.”

With an indescribable expression, I shook my head slightly.

Hearing Fia’s words, Niimi stared in astonishment at Puffa, still burrowed against her chest.

Come to think of it… I remembered.

At the start and conclusion of the doll event.

It corresponded with the period in the game when Reid had disappeared from the academy for a short while.

In other words, something must have happened to Niimi during that time.

But why has she appeared this time?

With a puzzled expression, I cocked my head while Fia smiled warmly and looked at Niimi.

“She’s the result of Niimi’s daily prayers.”

“…So this child is the embodiment of my prayers…”

Hearing Fia’s words, Niimi tightened her embrace on Puffa and gently ran her fingers through her hair with a loving smile.

When Niimi began brushing her hair, Puffa raised her face a bit and returned the smile with a gentle expression.

Seeing that, I relaxed and finally understood why I felt compelled to protect Puffa.

She bears a resemblance to Niimi.

If you asked me how, I couldn’t explain it, but she just feels similar.

That’s why I couldn’t leave her behind. Why I brought her back with me.

That day, Puffa stayed by Niimi’s side until the tavern closed.

Puffa kept hugging Niimi, as if she had finally met someone she had been waiting for.
