I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 23

The next day, 8 a.m.

I was drinking tea prepared in the hall on the first floor of the building I rented to Erika.

I looked around and gave a wry smile when I saw the maids standing nearby.

It had become incredibly clean.

This might be an exaggeration, but it didn’t look like there was even a speck of dust.

…Could it be they cleaned the whole night?

On the left side of the table from my view, Felica was sitting with arms crossed and a serious look on her face.

Erika requested the maid to inform Felica of the current situation.

However, Erika laughed in a troubled manner, saying that she never thought the letter would be delivered at 6am this morning.

Across from me, Erika was sitting elegantly and sipping tea.

Elysia is not here; she is resting in the upstairs bedroom.

She is no longer given sleeping pills, so she is not sleeping, but it seems she was still lacking in nutrition and exercise.

Therefore, she will be undergoing rehabilitation slowly.

“I didn’t realize it had come to that…”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s not something Erika should apologize for… So, Reid is going to handle it?”

Felica shook her head at Erika’s apology, then looked at me with a serious expression and asked.

I smiled and nodded in response to Felica’s words.

“Yeah.”

“…You probably know this, but the opponent is nobility. And an Count at that…”

“That’s right.”

“Erika did explain, but… can it actually be done?”

“Elysia entrusted me with this… so I can do it.”

I took out a piece of paper from my pocket and waved it, showing it to the two of them.

Both of them tilted their heads and stared at me.

This paper has the names of eight people written on it.

Yes, they are the names of the nobles who embraced Elysia.

This paper represents Elysia’s will.

She has no power or financial strength… just a solid mass of will to attack.

I lifted the corner of my mouth into a joyful smile and carefully put the paper back in my pocket.

The two of them looked at me and sighed in exasperation.

We discussed the upcoming matters briefly, then Felica and I got up to head to work.

Erika had already notified that she was taking today off, so we parted ways here.

As I was about to step outside the entrance, Erika spoke up faintly.

“What about the butler… what will become of him?”

“…He serves the Deus family. From now on, he will probably live for the Deus family.”

“Yes… that’s true.”

With a solemn expression, Erika looked down and bowed lightly.

Even though the butler worked for the Deus family, Erika and Elysia were grateful to him.

He did everything he could, but…

If it were possible, Erika and Elysia would want him close, but it’s impossible.

He is serving the Deus household, after all.

Having seen that, we went outside and headed to the academy.

Holding Felica’s hand, I sighed as we walked.

Thinking that it’s impossible in the current situation.

–

Three days later in the morning, I am sitting on a sofa in an office room waiting for someone.

Felica, who is next to me, asks quietly with a confused expression.

“You told me to come along, so I wondered where… what’s going on?”

“Well… that’s to be expected.”

This is a room in the royal castle, the chancellor’s office.

Felica, brought here without being told the destination, is completely flustered.

When I was about to open my mouth to explain, the door opened.

We rose from our seats, lowered our heads, and bowed.

“Alright, please sit.”

“”Yes!””

An elderly voice spoke, so we raised our heads and sat down.

An elderly man wearing glasses sat in front of us.

He is none other than Galt Rides, the chancellor of this kingdom, Libetonia.

Galt rested his hand on his chin, looked once at Felica, then turned his eyes to me and started talking.

“Is this a report?”

“Yes… may I take the documents out from my item bag?”

“I don’t mind… do I really need to confirm this now?”

“It is an important matter.”

Galt gave a wry smile at my reply as I took out about thirty documents from my item bag.

Taking them, Galt began to look through the documents.

After looking through the documents for a while, he sighed.

After glancing at me and giving a wry grin, he spoke.

“I wish my subordinates had skills at least like this.”

“…These were written by an amateur.”

“You… if you call this amateurish, my subordinates will cry, you know?”

I lowered my head, and Galt looked at me with an amused yet troubled smile.

Felica remained quiet but tilted her head in puzzlement at the exchange between Galt and me.

Galt looked at Felica and smiled.

“…I never expected the Empress… no, pardon me. You to bring Lady Felica along…”

“No… we have been acquainted for some time.”

When Galt said ‘Empress,’ her face twisted slightly.

…So even in the royal castle, it’s known she dislikes being called Empress.

Galt handed the stack of documents to Felica.

Felica took the documents with both hands and began to look through them, but soon let out a surprised voice.

“This is—”

“Yes… the number of Silver Wolf killed on that mountain, the reproduction rate, the possibility of a stampede… all those monthly details are written thoroughly.”

“But… on a day-by-day basis?”

“You’re surprised, right? And this guy insists an amateur wrote it.”

“…This is amateur work?”

Please don’t give me that look, both of you…

I was fifty years old before my reincarnation, so I can handle simple documents.

I felt the greatness of computers, and at the same time, learned the importance of handwriting.

Especially in this world, because verification is by handwriting and magic power, forging is difficult.

After some casual talk, Galt spoke up with a serious expression.

“So, is Lady Felica here because something happened?”

“Yes… but before that, there is something I want you to hear.”

Without lies or deceit, I spoke about Erika and Elysia.

After finishing everything, Galt folded his arms and wore a troubled expression.

“This is a complicated issue… but what does Reid want to do?”

“I intend to receive remuneration from them for having embraced Elysia.”

“…That would be impossible. Time has passed, and there is no way to prove they have embraced her, is there?”

“Yes, it cannot be proven…”

“If so…”

“Chancellor, this here…”

I took out another document from my item bag and handed it to Galt.

A document I investigated using all my abilities over two days.

Galt glanced at the documents suspiciously, then, shocked, abruptly stood up from his seat.

Seeing Galt like that, I lifted the corner of my mouth and smiled.

He glanced up from the documents, his face showing astonishment as he looked at me.

“For nobles, it seems their preparations are sloppy.”

“It’s not just sloppy… this is—”

“…Now then, Chancellor, from those listed there… we should get them to contribute to the kingdom and Elysia. Don’t you think they must have plenty of illicit funds?”

“…You really… should have become a noble after all.”

“I lack the capability; I cannot fulfill that role.”

Hearing my answer, Galt gave a deep sigh and settled back into his chair.

Now then, let’s talk about the plan.

By the way, Felica was dumbfounded, so I showed her the documents while explaining, but she was a bit taken aback.

She said I had gone beyond the level of an instructor, and I could only laugh wryly.
