I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 12

The next day, it was the usual training time, and the students began to gather little by little from the changing room, just like always.

By the way, today too, Felica and Erika are standing behind me.

According to Felica, it’s because it’s a beneficial learning experience.

No, she should be more skilled at teaching than I am.

Among the students, three of them run toward me.

Their expressions are somewhat flustered.

…Did an event just trigger?

“Instructor Reid, Lucy-san.”

“We can’t find Lucy anywhere!”

“Someone said she left the academy with someone…”

Other students who gathered around also wore worried expressions.

To my delight, the students all got along well.

Roy, who had already been nearby, listens to the three with a surprised expression.

Judging by his expression, it seems Roy has been told Lucy’s backstory.

The reason Lucy has a high difficulty level is because she frequently encounters problems.

Compared to other characters, Lucy’s number of events is twice as high.

Lucy, her real name is Lucy Desmond.

She is the illegitimate child of royalty from a neighboring country that was at war.

The son of the royal family… the prince, who fathered her through rape.

That’s Lucy. Her mother was the daughter of a fallen noble family.

Her mother decided to keep Lucy and protect her instead of aborting her.

At a time of rising tensions that would lead to war, she sought refuge in this kingdom.

Perhaps because she was seen as useful, she received various forms of aid and is now attending this academy.

After confirming that the students have gathered, I give my instructions.

“Today, we will conduct search training! The target is Lucy, she should be in the city… We’ll focus on 10th Street! Split into teams of three! Roy… Roy!”

I shout at Roy, who is a bit dazed, to get his attention and make him face me.

I understand how you feel, but pull yourself together. This is the event you chose, after all.

“I’ll move with your team… don’t just pack it with magic users! Include some weapon users! Start forming the teams!”

Roy tightened his resolve at my words, nodding with a serious expression.

After confirming the students had started moving, I turned to look behind me.

They looked at me with confused faces; I addressed them.

“Erika, inform Croana-san immediately about me conducting this training and Lucy’s situation. Felica, sorry, but please accompany Erika. …Erika, under no circumstances are you to act alone, understood?”

“Understood!”

“…Understood.”

Erika, who had retorted discontentedly, hurriedly ran into the academy with Felica, who wore a serious expression.

I’m counting on you, this event is time-sensitive.

–

The students, including myself, are at the entrance of 10th Street… on the central side of the royal capital.

I have a reason for choosing 10th Street.

The reason is that Lucy’s home is on that street, and there’s also a gate that leads out of the city.

Looking over the students, I issue orders in a controlled tone making sure not to speak too loudly.

“Team 5, start gathering information here. The rest of the teams will start from the castle gate with me. Don’t bunch up when questioning people. Keep your distance from other teams, but make sure you stay where they can see you… understood?”

“””””Yes!”””””

“Alright, spread out!”

I led Roy’s group and the others to the castle gate, gave instructions, and had the students spread out.

Roy’s team stayed with me.

Come on, think—how did the kidnappers plan to escape the city?

What did the analysis team conclude again?

A carriage heading out of the city suddenly caught my eye.

A merchant’s wagon, used often… that mark… wait, the Dwarf Merchant Guild?

“Roy, we’re stopping that carriage. Everyone, get ready to draw your weapons.”

“Y-Yes!”

“Understood!”

I flagged down the slow-moving cart and approached the coachman with a friendly grin.

While keeping the coachman distracted, I used gestures to tell the others (except Roy) to check the wagon.

Though initially wary, he quickly returned my smile and greeted me.

“Excuse me, I’m looking for someone. Have you seen a man with blue hair?”

“No, no, you surprised me, but it’s fine… No, I haven’t seen him.”

“I see… By the way, how’s the young master doing? Becoming chairman at his age must be tough.”

“…No, he’s doing his best.”

“Roy, cut the reins!”

“Yes!”

“Wh-What are you doing!?”

With nimbleness as his weapon, Roy dashed in from the side, sliced the reins, and threatened the coachman with his blade.

I struck him in the jaw from the side, knocking him out, then made my way to the back of the wagon.

I took advantage of the three’s shocked expressions and quickly subdued them with punches and kicks.

During that, I spotted Lucy along with another woman who closely resembled her.

I ordered the two outside the wagon to fire magic into the sky and call the guards.

We’d agreed on using magic as our signal to reconvene.

I stepped off the wagon and explained Lucy’s condition to Roy.

Hearing what I said, Roy quickly jumped into the cart.

They appeared to have been knocked out, but from what I could see, neither of them had any wounds.

Good thing they fell for such a stupid trick…

The new chairman is in a jail cell now.

For a kidnapper, shouldn’t he have done his research properly?

I was also surprised; Lucy was about the size of an apple… but the other woman was larger than a watermelon.

Despite the tense circumstances, I ended up doing a double-take…

I need to pull myself together…

After a while, the students and guards arrived, and I explained the situation.

The students were overjoyed, and the guards were hurriedly handling the matter, considering the circumstances.

Leaving the rest to the guards, the students and I returned to the academy.

…In Roy’s case, he was given special permission to stay.

Seeing that face, I couldn’t refuse…

Afterward, I returned to the academy and was summoned to the headmaster’s office.

I received a reprimand from Croana-san for involving the students in danger.

Erika, along with Felica, gave me a look of exasperation, staring at me with narrowed eyes.

But after everyone left… Croana-san smiled and praised me for handling the situation well.
