I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 118

While people were evacuating due to the stampede, a building filled the air with delicious smells and the sounds of cooking.

At the tavern Suzuya, Niimi was busily grilling steaks.

Next to her, one of the helpers was slicing the steaks, and another was putting them into paper-made boxes, ten per box.

What Niimi and the others were preparing were rations for the soldiers.

She had once heard from Reid that on the battlefield, sometimes victory depends on whether you can eat or not.

Fia, who was standing by the entrance of the kitchen, smiled and asked Niimi.

“Niimi, when did you make those paper boxes?”

“These are made each day during break time. The two of them helped too, you know?”

“I never thought we would end up having to use them so soon…”

“Really…”

At Niimi’s words, the two helpers exchanged glances and laughed in exasperation.

Looking at the two, Niimi met Fia’s gaze and ended up laughing too.

The hard part was making sure Reid didn’t notice.

He has unexpectedly good intuition and sense of smell, so he picks up on small details and questions them.

Remembering what he asked, with a smile and without pausing her steak-grilling, she told Fia.

“When he told me my hands smelled like paper, I was startled.”

“What’s that? Isn’t he way too sensitive?”

She widened her eyes in surprise at Niimi’s words, then broke into laughter.

Even though he cares about his lover, to ask about a paper smell from the hands when it usually isn’t there.

Reid might actually be overprotective, Fia thought with a laugh.

But when Fia looked back, there were several instances where Reid asked her similar questions a few times.

After flying in the sky during the day, when she met Raid at the academy, he would ask, “Were you flying?”

Recalling that, Fia laughed in exasperation and said to Niimi.

“Thinking back, I had a similar experience too.”

“Fufu, having too good a nose can be troublesome, right?”

“Yes, really.”

“Niimi-san, Eima-san is here…”

While Niimi and Fia were laughing together, Aurora peeked her head into the kitchen and spoke with a troubled expression.

Puffa and the three songstresses are also taking part in [Cuddle Bell], helping out.

They were working on placing the paper boxes into the magic bag in the main room.

Niimi tilted her head along with Fia, stopped grilling the steak, turned off the fire, and stepped out into the floor.

Niimi was a bit surprised that they had come to the tavern, as she had thought they had evacuated.

There at the tavern entrance stood Eima and her daughter, both with worried faces.

“Eima-san and Linare-san too…”

“Niimi-san, is there anything we can help with?”

“Niimi-san, you all are working for the instructor’s sake, aren’t you?”

Looking at their expressions and eyes, Niimi instantly understood.

Being a woman herself, she understood that the two also held feelings for Reid.

So the question of why they hadn’t evacuated vanished from Niimi’s mind.

Fia, who had walked up beside Niimi, must have felt the same. She smiled wryly at the two and murmured.

“Creating [Cuddle Bell] was the right call, wasn’t it?”

“Yes… Eima-san, Linare-san, could you help us out?”

At Niimi’s words, Eima and her daughter smiled warmly and nodded happily.

Linare headed toward the three songstresses, while Eima approached Niimi, averting her gaze with a hesitant look.

Niimi could tell what Eima was trying to say.

“Neemi-san… I…”

“Let’s support him together, okay?”

“Eh…”

“No point overthinking it, Reid won’t let you go, you know?”

As Eima looked up in surprise at Niimi’s words, Fia continued with a wry smile.

Eima looked momentarily stunned by their words, but soon gave a soft, indescribable smile tinged with happiness.

Fia took Eima by the hand and pulled her into the kitchen, while Niimi, watching them, pulled out a letter from her apron pocket.

Then she opened the envelope, muttered something, and sealed it again before putting it back in her pocket.

Niimi also walked toward the kitchen with a smile, muttering to herself.

“Everything’s going smoothly, Erika-san.”

–

The location was inside a carriage.

Erika opened the letter, read it, and smiled wryly as she muttered to herself.

“He really is a troublesome man.”

“Erika, what’s the matter?”

She put the letter into her magic bag and turned her gaze to her mother sitting across from her.

Elysia, dressed in a white party dress, rested her hands on her lap and looked at Erika with a gentle smile, tilting her head.

Even Erika, her daughter, couldn’t help but sigh in admiration at her graceful presence and aura.

With a puzzled smile and a shake of her head, she wondered aloud if she’d ever reach her mother’s level.

“It seems Eima and her daughter have fallen for Reid-san.”

“Fufu, is that so?”

“Mother, is that all you have to say…?”

“You knew this would happen when you brought them into Suzuya, didn’t you?”

“That’s true, but…”

“You can’t let something like this rattle you. Right, Lucienne?”

“Fufu, I agree.”

Prompted by Elysia, Lucienne brought a finger to her lips and smiled pleasantly.

Erika turned her gaze to Lucienne sitting next to Elysia and gave a troubled look.

Lucienne wore a light brown party dress, radiating elegance

She usually had the air of a kind and gentle mother, but seeing her today reminded Erika she was a noblewoman.

Looking at the two older women, Erika couldn’t help but compare herself.

Though she was feeling nervous about where they were headed, the two looked completely at ease.

One could say it’s due to the difference in experience, and they’d be right.

Still, Erika envied the composure that the two possessed, something she lacked.

Elysia, seeing her daughter Erika’s expression, smiled cheerfully and spoke.

“Erika, you’ll gain plenty of experience from now on, so think of today as a learning opportunity.”

“I’ve been away from these kinds of gatherings for quite a while, but I hope I can still be of help.”

“Fufufu, but you’re not nervous at all, are you, Lucienne-san?”

“Perhaps… it’s because I’ve made up my mind.”

“To stay by his side, forever?”

“Fufu, don’t you feel the same, Elysia-san?”

Watching the two chat cheerfully, Erika was reminded of her own inexperience.

Anyone watching them now would never guess they’d been away from noble society for long.

She wondered if it was because she lacked experience, or if it was a difference in determination.

Every time Reid helped someone, his network of connections grew.

To unify them all, she borrowed the name Suzuya.

But in truth, her real goal was to support Reid without him noticing.

When the new Suzuya was launched, [Cuddle Bell] was founded at the same time.

Its members consisted entirely of Reid’s lovers, and the goal was to keep him from noticing Cuddle Bell’s existence.

Naturally, those believed to be in love with him were added after discussions with the existing lovers.

Wanting to support him and repay his kindness, they formed Cuddle Bell.

..Well, Erika wasn’t the one who brought it up, though.

It was Niimi and Elysia who brought up the idea.

It all started when Niimi proposed the idea during the discussion about borrowing the Suzuya name.

Thanks to Reid, they had everything, funds, connections, and information.

That’s why she seriously negotiated with Reid back then.

They needed the new Suzuya as a front to operate Cuddle Bell.

As the carriage stopped, the door opened and the butler appeared.

Elysia took the butler’s hand and stepped down, followed by Lucienne.

Erika also stepped down with the butler’s help, and saw a mansion standing before her.

It was the home of a certain viscount, where a particularly inconvenient lady currently resided.

Noticing the umbrella above her, Erika turned and saw Minty smiling beside her.

The three adventurer girls had changed into fine clothes for meeting nobles and were now guarding Erika and the others.

Erika smiled back at Minty, took out a letter from her magic bag, muttered something, then put it away again.

With a serious look, Erika gazed at the mansion and followed Elysia and Lucienne ahead.

–

Elysia and Lucienne exchanged a glance to check Erika’s expression as she followed behind them.

Seeing the resolute look on her daughter’s face, Elysia exchanged a smile with Lucienne and looked ahead

It was thanks to Reid that she, who was once bedridden, had a chance to leave something behind for her daughter.

Normally, her body would have withered away without leaving anything behind, but he saved her.

Though they appeared calm, Elysia and Lucienne were also nervous.

Elysia sorted through various information in her head, while Lucienne focused on the intel she got from the brothel.

Thanks to Croana, information sharing among the lovers was smooth; all that remained was someone to use it.

Those who volunteered for that role were Elysia, Lucienne, and Erika.

They only looked calm because of their experience and because a young girl who admired them was watching.

Elysia whispered with a smile, loud enough for Lucienne walking beside her to hear.

“It’s Cuddle Bell’s first mission, we can’t let it fail, right?”

“Absolutely not.”

They exchanged small smiles while bracing themselves internally.

Returning to negotiations after a long time, Elysia and Lucienne advanced with calm smiles.

She is one of Croana’s older sisters and the one responsible for the destruction of the Criella tribe.

Like Croana, she underwent experiments by the Criella tribe, resulting in abnormally high knowledge and magical power.

She can use magic to see through lies, but it is limited to once a day for a few hours.

She has a strong compassion for others and even visits the families that helped her.

She had worked at a brothel, and thanks to a customer there, she was able to contact the kingdom.

Now, she lives a peaceful life with aid from the kingdom.

However, perhaps due to feeling it’s too easy, she still goes out to work.

She has a slender build, with a chest size about the same as an apple.

She is the leader of the three songstresses who are starting to gain popularity in the region.

She usually doesn’t complain or show any vulnerability.

However, with Winn and Rain, whom she trusts, she sometimes shows weakness and relies on them.

After being helped by Reid, she has started to confide in him and show her vulnerability.

Perhaps because of her serious nature, she seems to struggle with the idea of being openly affectionate.

Her expression is slightly droopy-eyed, with a calm and laid-back personality.

Her body type is slightly slender, and her chest is a little larger than an apple.

She is one of the three songstresses who are starting to gain popularity.

She may seem laid-back, she is actually quite responsible.

Sometimes, she enjoys hugging Aurora when she comes to her for affection.

She loves to spoil others and often hugs Aurora and Rain.

After being helped by Reid, she has recently wanted to be pampered by him.

However, she knows how to pamper others but doesn’t know how to ask for affection herself, which troubles her.

She has a slender build, with a chest slightly smaller than an apple.

One of the three songstresses who are starting to gain popularity.

She’s often referred to as a mischievous or “little devil” type based on how she acts, speaks, and looks.

She’s unaware that her words and actions can seem like she’s looking down on others.

So even though she’s popular, being called a “little devil” type makes her a bit downhearted.

When she’s feeling that way, she often turns to Winn to be spoiled a bit.

Since being helped by Reid, she’s recently started thinking about being more honest and straightforward with him.

Lately, she’s been becoming more honest, but it still seems embarrassing for her.

She has feelings for Reid or rather, she’s aware that she loves him.

*Linare

Height 160 cm, 16 years old, glossy chestnut hair, with wavy hair flowing down past her shoulders.

Her face is soft and slender; her personality is steady.

Her chest is a little smaller than a melon and firm.

She is one of the students in the grade that Reid is in charge of.

Since her parents run a bakery, she also helps out at the bakery.

Perhaps because of that, she is caring, good at reading the atmosphere, and often mingles among the students.

She feels intense disgust towards her father who tried to sell her and her mother and does not want to see him.

Following the incident, having been saved by Reid, she feels grateful and becomes aware of her fluttering heart.

What was once just a flutter has now grown into love, thanks to him saving her again.

Her br3asts are the size of melons.

She is the mother of Linare, a student in the grade Reid is in charge of.

She runs a bakery with her husband, and perhaps because she works with customers, she speaks in a crisp manner.

She never lets her smile fade and knows how to handle interpersonal boundaries well.

She is devastated that her husband tried to sell her and their daughter, but for her daughter’s sake, she holds herself together.

She is grateful to Reid for rescuing her after the incident.

In fact, she heard Reid’s voice briefly when he saved her.

Though she knows she shouldn’t, she’s aware of the flutter in her heart that feels like love.
