I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 163
[First guess, you’re not human!]
“Pfft, hahaha! No, I’m definitely human.”
[Nnnh~~~~! That’s not a lie~~~~!]
“Galt, Reid really is human.”
“…What kind of reaction do you want from me?”
Tetorin shook her hands in frustration, while the two queens, two princesses, Felica, and Karinal sitting beside her smiled at her with amused expressions.
Opposite them sat us men, with Roy and King Adom sitting on either side of me.
King Adom poured sake for the chancellor sitting next to him and spoke, to which the chancellor responded with an exasperated look.
What’s happening now is Tetorin’s question time for solving the puzzle.
According to their rules, you can ask up to ten questions.
…They asked a lot of questions during the game, too.
I don’t know how, but apparently, they can tell if the person answering is lying.
It seems this ability works only when they’re asking questions, not in ordinary conversation.
I think they put too much effort into puzzles, but it’s their main amusement for enduring long times.
Tetorin pointed at me with frustration and said.
[But it’s weird! Why does a human know the name of the village and the founder?!]
“Because that’s the phrase that summons you all.”
[That’s true, that’s true, but~~~!]
She shook her hands wildly, and at the same time, her chest bounced fiercely as I looked away.
Fairindal is the name of the fairy village, and Telt is said to be the first fairy to appear in Overworld.
Using these two words and offering a ‘cheers’ is how you invite them, as the fairies taught me when I befriended them.
Before I knew that, the way to summon them was simple: when having a feast with the fairies, their leader would call the fairy trees.
After that, becoming friends and learning the words from them was part of the game.
Moreover, the fairy trees love alcohol, so I often gathered drinks from various places…
When I looked away from Tetorin, I met eyes with Princess Letia, who looked like she wanted to ask something.
“Princess Letia, is something the matter?”
“Lord Reid…?”
“…Tia, I can’t get used to it right away. Could you be patient with me?”
“What do you think, sister?”
“I won’t cut you any slack. If you don’t fix your stiff language like this, it’ll just drag on forever.”
“…That’s not the case, Lelia.”
“Sister, it seems you were right.”
“Right, Letia?”
Not exactly wrong, but… It’s just I couldn’t withstand the pressure from the queen’s gaze, you know?
I sighed quietly in exhaustion, and King Adom next to me gave a wry smile and lightly tapped my shoulder.
Tia and Lelia are the nicknames for the two princesses who were fleeing during the war.
Since they couldn’t loudly be called princesses while running, I suggested these names to them… and they really liked them.
Even after returning to the capital, they tried to make me call them that, but it seems I can no longer avoid it…
The pressure from the two queens’ smiling faces is terrifying; I really respect King Adom for enduring it.
Letting out another small sigh, I caught Roy’s gaze at me from the corner of my vision.
When I turned to face him, he looked like he wanted to ask something, so I tilted my head and asked.
“Roy, what’s up?”
“Instructor Reid, I have something I want to ask.”
“Hmm… alright, what is it?”
“It’s about noble titles. You said Instructor Reid lacks the qualities, but I don’t think so. I believe you have enough merit to be granted a title…”
I see, that’s what has been bothering you all along.
Felica smiled helplessly at Roy’s question, while Karinal nodded slightly in agreement.
I glanced sideways at King Adom and the chancellor for confirmation, and they exchanged a look over their drinks saying, “It’s fine.”
I took a sip from my glass, smiled awkwardly, and asked.
“Roy, can you tell me what nobles are meant to protect?”
“Eh? …The kingdom and its people.”
“That’s right, the country and its people. But I want to protect those I care about first, my lovers and my friends.”
“Then all the more reason to receive a noble title…”
“Right… let’s say, for example, a village of 100 and a single household are both under attack. If you were a noble, which would you save?”
“…The single house that’s at greatest risk.”
“Would a noble sworn to protect the country and its people abandon 100 citizens?”
Roy looked startled as if something clicked, and lowered his head in a discouraged manner.
Yes, nobles are bound to protect the country and its people. No matter how much you want to save the few, you must choose the many.
You might think it’s possible to handle it smartly, but I know I don’t have that kind of finesse.
Having gone through war and knowing how villages were sacrificed to save cities, I can’t accept a noble rank.
Honestly, I’d rather risk my life to save the ones I care about than the nation or its people.
I gave a wry smile at Roy’s reaction, placed a hand on his shoulder, and continued as brightly as I could.
“I know my thinking is extreme, and I understand there are other views. But I can only choose the few. I only intend to choose the few.”
“If you become a noble… can you not protect those important to you?”
“No, that’s not it. I’m just extreme. That doesn’t mean others are. I told you, I lack the right qualities. You’re still a student, Roy. You’ve got time to figure it out. Look around you, there’s no better group of teachers.”
“…Calling the royal family teachers… only you would say that, Instructor Reid, you know?”
“Kuhaha! Calling us teachers, huh? That’s hilarious, hahaha!”
“…Actually, Adom, maybe this idea isn’t as crazy as it sounds?”
Roy looked up at me with a troubled smile, while King Adom laughed cheerfully.
The chancellor folded his arms with a thoughtful expression, as if he had an idea… I can’t help but admire how quickly he ties things to work.
In reality, there are nobles who manage to protect both, and I want Roy and the students to learn that during their time at the academy.
I explain that, whether they gain nobility or not, having this kind of thinking will be important down the line.
Roy pondered for a moment, then nodded firmly with a serious expression.
“I don’t think I could replicate Reid’s lessons. I’m pretty hardheaded too.”
“I feel the same way, Felica. That’s why I think it’s best to learn from others and put it together in a way that works for you.”
“Does the academy really offer lessons like this…?”
“…This is far too advanced.”
“With all due respect, this only applies to Reid’s class.”
Felica gave a troubled smile as she explained to the two princesses, who then looked at me with amused, exasperated smiles.
…I don’t think it’s really that advanced, though. Is it?
While we were busy talking, time slipped away, and the two queens made their way to their rooms with smiles.
King Adom and the chancellor also said they’d continue drinking in their rooms, laughing as they left the garden with, “Now it’s up to the youngsters, right?”
I silently muttered to myself that he probably just wanted to say that line.
The reason I was left behind in the garden was because Tetorin wouldn’t let me go, and I couldn’t help but laugh at how the questions continued until nightfall.
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.

The protagonist of this story.
He has old war scars all over his body.
The old injuries are fully healed, with no residual effects, but the scars still remain.
He has no intention of removing them.
Possess the skill 【Feint – Extreme】
Essentially, he fights with a high level of proficiency in hand-to-hand combat(Taijustu), but that does not mean he cannot use weapons.
Now that he can see Sharle and the others, he is treated as family by the royal family.
It’s an unspoken rule known only to royalty, hidden from nobles and commoners alike.

Her br3asts are larger than an apple.
One of the fairies saved by Reid in the past, she now serves in the royal family’s covert unit.

Since becoming Reid’s lover, she’s started wearing cute clothes more often.
Since she and Erika are fellow lovers, their relationship is closer to friends than student and teacher.
Since Reid spoils her, she allows herself to be spoiled only when with him.
Reid’s lover.

She’s 170 cm tall, 20 years old, with light green hair tied back in a shoulder-length ponytail.
She has a beautiful face, dark eyes, and a strict personality, but also a gentle heart.
She’s slender. The game says her br3asts are the size of pears, but in truth, it’s more like melons.

She becomes interested in Reid’s strength and requests a sparring match.
In truth, she just wanted Elvin to praise her and acknowledge her, so she asked for the spar.

Until recently, she had been on inspection visits to foreign countries with her younger sister.
She reunited with Reid during the Stampede and is now trying to move their relationship forward.
In truth, Alerias has rejected all marriage proposals and thinks only of being married to Reid.
Her sister Letia shares the same feelings and seems to be doing various things to be married to Reid.
Being royalty, she doesn’t openly express those feelings.
As a result, Reid misunderstands her as being merely tomboyish.

Letia has rejected every marriage proposal, thinking only of being married to Reid.
Her sister Alerias feels the same and is apparently doing various things to be with Reid.
Unlike her sister, she tries to use slightly forceful means that don’t reflect her composed demeanor.
