I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 160

Galt, the Chancellor, glanced over his shoulder at Reid, who was following behind and chuckled quietly.

When Reid lowers his guard around someone, his mood and expressions tend to give away his feelings.

Galt recalled Reid’s earlier choice of words and almost burst into laughter.

That deliberate misuse of language, when he usually speaks properly, was probably his way of being sarcastic.

Thinking that their few drinks together had helped Reid open up a little, Galt, who is usually surrounded by people he cannot trust, found that genuinely pleasing.

Still, Galt felt he was owed a little payback for all the stress he had endured, and he figured that much was fair.

Reid had clearly shown his displeasure earlier, but that was not going to stop Galt.

He intended to get back at Reid for all the headaches he had caused up to now.

Galt faced forward, laughing silently to himself as he cheerfully continued leading the way.

–

I noticed the Chancellor walking ahead had his back trembling slightly, and I couldn’t help but look at him with disbelief.

It seems like he’s enjoying this… well, good for him.

Seeing Roy next to me with a somewhat tense expression, I lightly placed one hand on his shoulder, smiled, and said.

“Don’t be too tense… though I know that’s easier said than done. Think of this as a rare opportunity and just enjoy it.”

“Haha, I can’t match you, Instructor Reid. But yes. I’ll try to enjoy it.”

Roy gave a small, relieved smile and nodded, and I nodded back and removed my hand from his shoulder.

I couldn’t very well talk to Felica and Karinal behind me, but judging by their state, Felica was talking to Karinal, and her complexion had improved considerably.

We followed behind the Chancellor down a long straight corridor and came upon a single red door at the end.

We opened the door and stepped inside, and Sharle whispered “We have entered” faintly by my ear.

I never expected we’d enter the royal living quarters this easily, though surely the Chancellor must have done something so we wouldn’t be noticed.

This was an area even the game wouldn’t let you access. I can’t believe it’s that easy to just open the door and walk in.

Glancing to both sides, it looked very much like a corridor.

The hallway was carpeted with a dark red that wasn’t too flashy, and ahead I saw several doors.

In front of us stood another red door, and as the Chancellor straightened himself before it, I realized royalty must lie beyond.

Just as I straightened up and readied myself, a sudden voice called from the side and though I hid it, I was startled.

Turning my face to the side, I saw a maid standing there who bowed and then looked at Felica and Karinal as she spoke.

“Lady Felica, Lady Karinal, your change of clothes is ready. Please follow me.”

“Huh, a change of clothes?”

“Yes, by order of Princess Letia.”

“…Understood. Reid, see you later.”

“I-I’ll be going, then.”

Well, if the Princess’s name is brought up, of course you can’t refuse.

I nodded back to Felica’s slightly awkward smile and gave Karinal, who looked worried, a light pat on the shoulder and a smile.

Roy, beside me, already looked tense, while the chancellor in front of us was smiling as if enjoying himself.

I let out a small sigh and nodded to the chancellor, who, seeing that, turned forward and opened the door.

To my surprise, the inside was a garden.

The walkways were paved with stone, while the rest was trimmed like a grassy lawn.

Though it was the center of the castle, sunlight? Or something like it shone down, making it brighter than expected.

But what truly surprised me wasn’t the sight of King Adom sitting at the round table in the center of the garden, looking in our direction.

Nor was it the presence of the queens sitting on either side of King Adom.

No way? …why is this here…

A towering tree standing behind King Adom.

At first glance it looked like a regular long-living tree, but its sparse leaves came in red, yellow, blue, and other vibrant colors.

I recognized that tree immediately. You could only see it by venturing deep into the world during free play.

It is known as the Fairy Tree.

A special tree that grows in the Fairy Village, and among fairies it’s said that places with a Fairy Tree are a safe haven.

It works by forming a barrier around its dwelling area, and the longer it’s been there, the stronger the barrier becomes.

In reality, the Fairy Village’s barrier is so strong that one cannot enter unless they form an alliance.

Each race’s village has a similar sacred tree, likely a method by the Overworld admins to prevent players from ruining the villages.

But this is the royal capital, not the Fairy Village.

That’s when I realized, why the royal quarters were placed at the castle’s center.

To protect the Fairy Tree… they may have prioritized it even over the royal family’s lives.

But that appearance…

Following the chancellor as he bowed to King Adom, Roy and I bowed as well and followed behind him.

As I went to kneel before the ornate round table, King Adom’s commanding voice halted me, just like with the chancellor earlier.

“Alright, enough. Let’s not be so formal today, right, Reid?”

“…Yes.”

“Is that Ryudo’s son over there?”

“Yes, my name is Roy.”

“Hmm… You have a better look than I heard from Ryudo. …Kuku, did you find a good instructor?”

“Yes, someone I can respect.”

“Hahaha, that’s like you, Reid, huh?”

“I’m honored to be thought of that way by my student.”

Without a doubt, the mischievous and tomboyish side is inherited from King Adom.

Or is it from the queen’s genes too? Both are grinning and whispering to King Adom…

On my left sits the first queen, Queen Alyusha, mother of Princess Alerius.

On the right sits the second queen, Queen Leesha, mother of Princess Letia.

They are sisters, originally commoners as I’ve heard.

Since the game profile describes them like that, it is probably true.

It’s amazing that King Adom married commoners, but even more amazing that they rose to such status through study and effort.

…From just looking, they seem like quite the tomboy’s.

King Adom turned his face to the fairy tree behind him and spoke with a hint of sadness.

“Normally, I’d want to show you it in full bloom, but… it seems to be in poor health this year.”

“…May I ask a question?”

“Hmm? Yes, speak. No need to be formal, talk as you like. You know I hate formalities, right?”

“I will do my best. Did you change the position of the table?”

“…It seems it was changed. So, what of it?”

Queen Leesha whispered to King Adom, who rubbed his chin with one hand, furrowed his brow, and looked at me.

…Ah, so that’s why you couldn’t get what you wanted.

As I wore a troubled expression thinking how to reply to King Adom, Sharle gently touched my cheek and spoke.

“Please act as you like.”

“…I’m surprised. Alyusha, Leesha, look. Sharle has such an expression.”

“This is…”

“I’m surprised too…”

Queen Leesha spoke quietly to King Adom, then together they looked around with surprised expressions.

Queen Alyusha also looked around and muttered in language easy for commoners to understand.

I also looked around like King Adom and the others, but could only see the waiting maids.

King Adom and the others must be able to see Sharle’s form…

Well, putting that aside… let’s do something about the fairy tree first.

I quietly asked Sharle to bring something, and in reply, she stroked my cheek.

“King Adom, I would like permission to approach the fairy tree and to take something from my magic bag.”

“…Do as you please.”

“Much appreciated.”

I placed a hand on Roy’s shoulder, who looked worried from the side, smiled reassuringly, and approached the fairy tree.

When I reached the front of the fairy tree, I took out a small one-person desk and chair and placed them as close to the tree as possible, facing King Adom.

I thanked Sharle as she suddenly handed me a bottle of alcohol from the side, poured it into the wineglass she had also brought, and set it on the desk.

I asked for cheap booze, but of course the royal castle wouldn’t have that…

I poured wine into my own glass, clinked it gently against the one on the desk, looked up at the fairy tree and spoke.

“This isn’t Fairindal’s wine, but I hope it’s acceptable. …To the tranquility of tiny-winged Telt, cheers.”

[Ahahaha, cheers!]

Someone picked up the glass I had placed on the desk and gently clinked it against mine.

Smiling at the bell-like voice that echoed in my head for the first time in a while, I turned to the woman enjoying her drink.

Judging from her seated height, she was about 160 cm tall, with softly glowing white hair that nearly touched the floor.

She had a cute, baby-faced look, transparent wings on her back, and her chest was about the size of a pear.

After finishing the wine in her glass, she looked at me with a joyful smile and spoke.

[How do you know how to invite us? I thought no one knew anymore…]

“Well, who can say? Unraveling mysteries is the perfect treat for you ladies, isn’t it?”

[Ahaha, you know that too! I heard about you, but you’re even more interesting than I thought! Ahahaha!]

“Good to see you enjoying yourself.”

As I spoke with her, a petal gently drifted down and landed at my feet, making me look up at the branches.

The branches were now covered in a full bloom of colorful flowers, a stark change from before.

Yeah, when you think of the Fairy Tree, this is exactly what comes to mind…

I took a sip from my wine glass and refilled hers, which was now empty.

I set the glass on her table and looked over to see King Adom had come fairly close.

King Adom and both queens stood frozen, eyes wide, staring at her; the chancellor and Roy were no different.

Suddenly remembering something, I turned to her as she drank and asked,

“By the way, do I call you Tetorin or Tetorinri?”

[Oh come on, that’s too funny! I came up with that name thousands of years ago!]

“Alright, Tetorin it is.”

[Correct! You’re gonna stick with me all day, right? You knew that already, didn’t you?]

“I’d love to, but… the place is a bit…”

“It’s fine, I permit it! Stay here and keep Tetorin company. I’ve got a mountain of questions for you myself…”

“…As you command.”

King Adom pressed a hand to his forehead in exhaustion, while the queens beside him looked on with concern.

Tetorin laughed cheerfully at King Adom’s words, then suddenly went quiet and gently smiled as she stood to face him.

[King Adom, I’m sorry I never got to thank your family all these years. Thank you for protecting me.]

“Those words… I, the 26th king, will make sure they are passed on to future generations.”

[Wait, to future generations? That’s kind of overly formal, don’t you think? I’m not great with stiff talk either. Also! I’ve been looking forward to what happens next, so don’t stop okay!]

“Understood about the tone. And rest assured, I have no intention of stopping anything.”

After saying that, King Adom gave me a tired stare, and I gave a wry smile, realizing I couldn’t escape.

I thought the Fairy Tree issue would be enough of a distraction, but now I remember how much Tetorin loves to have fun.

From my point of view, I have no idea what it’ll be, her idea of a fun punishment is honestly terrifying…

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 → Mandarin Orange → Apple → Grapefruit → Pear → Melon → Watermelon]
