I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 126

When I slipped out of 12th Street holding hands with Aurora, the crowd eased up.

I guess I should say we’re near the royal castle now, in the center of the royal capital.

The time is about to pass 11 o’clock.

I asked Aurora whether she was hungry, and she smiled and shook her head side to side.

With the hand that wasn’t holding mine, she gently grasped the necklace I had given her.

She moved her hand and touched the gemstone, as if confirming its texture over and over.

Seeing her that happy, I also feel glad I gave it to her.

“Aurora, will you stay by my side all day? I’d like to stop by 1st Street now, too.”

“I’m sorry, I have plans from noon, so I can’t go with you. But a replacement girl will come in my place.”

“…A replacement?”

Seeing my puzzled face, Aurora happily smiled and nodded.

Does that means I have to head back to the inn?

I wanted to head to 1st Street just like this, though…

Just as I was thinking that, Aurora gave my hand a tug.

Tilting my head and looking at Aurora’s face, she stopped touching the necklace and pointed lightly.

Turning my face to follow the tip of her finger, I saw a girl with red twin tails dancing among the sparse people.

I saw Rain, looking around restlessly.

No, how did she figure out where I was?

It’s true I told Erika and Niimi I was heading to 12th Street, but is it really possible to pinpoint my location this precisely?

I looked toward Aurora with that question in mind, only to be surprised to find her face right in front of me.

When I tried to lower my face, she pulled my connected hand, and kissed me just like that.

After moving her face back, Aurora’s cheeks turned red in embarrassment, and she smiled at my stunned expression.

“Fufu, it’s a secret. Please wait, I’ll go call Rain.”

“…Ah, I’ll leave it to you.”

Aurora smiled like a mischievous child, let go of my hand and jogged over to Rain.

With a dazed expression, I watched Aurora’s retreating figure and soon gave a troubled smile.

I’m in no position to talk, but I think women can be pretty shrewd, especially when driven by youthful energy.

I never imagined just a change in our relationship would leave me this shaken.

In the distance, I see Aurora meet up with Rain, talk a little, and nod to each other.

Then Aurora gave a small wave in my direction and walked away, as Rain jogged over in her place.

Once Rain arrived, she was breathing heavily and gave me a mischievous smile as she looked up.

“Now, I’m on surveillance duty.”

“Ah~, thank you. But first, take a moment to catch your breath.”

“I’m fine, this much is nothing.”

“There’s no need to rush, so relax.”

“…Alright, I get it.”

After calming down Rain, who seemed in a hurry, I looked at her outfit.

A sky-blue dress accented with white embroidery.

The dress, slightly above the knee, suited Rain’s image perfectly.

Maybe she chose light blue because she said she liked rain.

As Rain caught her breath and looked around, I smiled and spoke.

“It suits you. You look cute.”

“…Thank you.”

“Kuha, hahaha.”

“What’s so funny?”

She looked up at me, surprised by my words, but quickly turned away, blushing with embarrassment.

I couldn’t help but laugh at how cute her reaction was, and she smacked my arm with a red face.

I grabbed the hand Rain had hit me with, made sure she’d caught her breath, then started walking while holding her hand.

I expected her to pull away, judging from her reaction, but instead Rain squeezed my hand back.

Glancing at Rain from the side, I saw a small smile on her face and felt relieved.

Come to think of it, Rain’s hand is pretty small.

I figured someone like Rain would have bigger hands.

When I playfully squeezed her hand, Rain glanced up at me with an embarrassed look and said.

“Hey, Instructor.”

“Well… I just thought your hand was cute.”

“Flirting with a student, what a bad Instructor.”

“…Is it not okay?”

“Huh? Um, it’s not… bad but…”

Rain’s voice got quieter at the end, and she finished in almost a whisper.

Though she looked embarrassed, she didn’t resist, so I took her hand and headed toward First Street.

Since First Street was right beside Twelfth, it didn’t take much time to get there.

We walked toward the blacksmith, passing through groups of craftsmen.

We were on our way to receive the item I had ordered previously.

It was supposed to be ready in seven days, but I was a bit late picking it up.

I might get scolded by Bodok for this.

When I looked at Rain walking beside me, she was gazing around the factory district with curiosity.

“You don’t come to First Street very often, do you?”

“Yeah, I don’t really have any reason to.”

“There’s a glass workshop and stuff, so it’s surprisingly interesting. Look, over there.”

When I pointed to the glass workshop near the blacksmith, Rain’s eyes lit up.

Smiling, I took Rain’s hand and led her toward the front of the glass workshop.

Though mainly a workshop, they do sell things, so glass items are displayed out front.

But since it’s glass, the prices are a bit high.

They don’t use glass cups in taverns because adventurers often break them when they get too rowdy.

If they had to replace the glass every time, they’d go bankrupt.

Bars might use glassware since they have fewer rowdy customers.

Rain let go of our joined hands, crouched down, and looked at the glass cups.

What she was looking at were cups that, when lined up in a set of three, formed a complete flower.

Rain might talk a bit rough, but she’s the type who really cherishes her friends.

Most likely, she’s picturing herself using them together with Aurora and Winn.

I spoke to the clerk, told them I wanted to buy the cups Rain was looking at, and handed over the money.

The clerk at the storefront smiled, took the cups, and began wrapping them.

Rain, still crouching, looked up at me with a surprised expression.

The clerk quickly placed the wrapped cups in a box and brought them over, and I accepted it.

When I offered it to Rain beside me, she took it with both hands with a stunned expression.

“Instructor, this is…”

“Use it together with the three of you.”

“…Yeah, thank you.”

Rain held the box as if it were something precious, then slowly placed it into her pouch-shaped magic bag.

Relieved that she seemed happy, I started walking toward the blacksmith.

Just then, a small hand grabbed mine and when I turned, Rain with her cheeks red, was holding my hand.

I purposely said nothing, just smiled and gently squeezed her hand as we entered the blacksmith.

I entered the blacksmith and walked up to Bodok, who wore a stern expression.

When Bodok noticed me, he let out a sigh and placed the magic bag atop the counter.

“You’re late.”

“My bad. So, this is it?”

“Yeah. Make sure to return the magic bag later.”

“So, the usual then.”

“…For the record, you’re the only one I take these kinds of individual orders from.”

As Bodok spoke with exasperation, I gave a wry smile, thanked him, and took the magic bag.

Leaving the blacksmith, I began walking toward the Suzuya inn.

But something came to mind, so I turned to Rain beside me and asked.

“Rain, aren’t you hungry?”

“Huh? Hmm, maybe a little.”

“…You’re eating properly, right?”

“I am eating, why?”

Why, you ask.

Because you get full too easily, and you’re way too slim.

Hearing Rain’s response, I folded my arms and rubbed my chin with one hand.

As I looked down the end of First Street, pondering what to do, something came to mind.

When I gave Rain a sly smile, she tilted her head with a suspicious look.

Holding her hand, I started heading for the place I had in mind.

She didn’t even ask where we were going and just gave me a flat look from the corner of my vision.

I’ll list below the newly arranged order of chest sizes I came up with.

While I may refer to them differently at times, feel free to use this as a reference table.

[Mound → Orange → Apple → Grapefruit → Pear → Melon → Watermelon]

[Characters]

*Aurora

Height 165 cm, 16 years old, red hair styled in a semi-long cut that’s a bit longer than shoulder length.

Her semi-long hair is cut straight across and neatly trimmed.

Her expression is sharp and serious, reflecting her earnest and straightforward personality.

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.

Due to the stampede incident, she realized how scary it would be if she lost Reid.

She has feelings for Reid, and although it embarrasses her, she wants him to desire her.

Reid’s lover.

*Rain

Height: 158 cm, Age: 16. Red hair, styled into twin tails that go down to her waist.

Her expression still carries a trace of childlike innocence, and she has a bright personality.

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 wants to try leaning on Reid for comfort, but hasn’t told anyone.

Due to the stampede incident, she realized how scary it would be if she lost Reid.

She is in love with Reid and can’t help but want to be spoiled by him.
