I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 34

Dill looked into my eyes cautiously for a while.

Then, one of his older sisters placed her hand on Dill’s shoulder from behind and spoke.

“Dill-chan, why not try trusting him?”

“Meene-nee…”

With wavy black hair down to her shoulders, she smiled gently and spoke to Dill.

Next, she turned her face to me and began to speak with a smile.

“Reid-san… please take care of Meiya-san and the church. As for us…”

“Dill will protect you all. That’s why he will train.”

Dill opened his eyes wide in shock at what I said.

As I stood and looked over, I saw Erika smiling in exasperation.

The three adventurer girls seem to be guarding the outside; they haven’t come in.

I asked Meiya-san to prepare some food immediately, and everyone ate.

By “everyone,” I mean these six children Meiya-san mentioned.

They introduced themselves while having dinner.

The boy Dill, and the girl called Meene.

A girl named Rhin with straight red hair down to her waist.

A girl named Amy with short, curly brown hair.

A girl named Serena with shoulder-length light blue hair tied in a ponytail.

A girl named Saphan with blonde hair longer than her shoulders, styled in a side ponytail.

It’s confirmed. Their names match those of the priestesses. So it really is the Demon Association.

This will alter the story, but I’m not sure how that’ll work out…

There is indeed a route that doesn’t involve the Demon Association.

But usually, players all chose the Demon Association route because of the weapons and armor dropped there.

…It’s too late now, I’ve changed a lot, including the students.

I watch the children happily eating their dinner.

My eyes meet Meiya-san’s happy smile as she observes the kids.

…I can’t leave a situation like this alone.

After finishing dinner, I went out with everyone to the church’s backside… the backyard by the city wall.

There I lit a fire and prepared a pot from the magic bag, one that is fine if it gets dirty.

Then I took out a transparent but slightly white, jelly-like, round object about the size of a watermelon.

Holding it in one hand, I asked everyone.

“Can you tell what this is?”

“…Isn’t it a slime?”

“Eh… It’s a slime?”

Dill answered my question and nodded.

Erika’s reaction of surprise was completely justified.

The reason is that if you destroy the slime’s core, it can’t keep its shape and just turns into water.

But if you don’t destroy the core right away, and instead pull it out before breaking it, it keeps its shape.

Next, I put the slime into the pot and asked while heating it up.

“Have you ever boiled slime before?”

“…No, that’s pretty unusual, isn’t it?”

“What about Dill and you guys?”

“…No way.”

Erika crossed her arms with an exasperated look, and Dill had the same expression.

The five sisters stood side by side behind Dill.

Some of the sisters seemed to be tugging at Dill’s clothes from behind, making the fabric move oddly whenever he moved.

…He’s already being depended on, isn’t he?

No, judging by the way the sisters look at Dill, I think they’re not just relying on him, they’re in love with him.

It makes sense they’d be willing to risk everything to protect him.

Just as I was thinking that, the pot started bubbling as it boiled.

“You know slimes are sticky and viscous, right? So when you boil them…”

“Bubbles are coming out of the pot! Hey, wait!? Isn’t it hot!?”

I reached out with my bare hand and caught the bubbles rising from the pot, putting them inside a white bag about the size of a pillow without letting them stick to the outside.

Erika was flustered, waving her hands in panic, but it really wasn’t hot.

I don’t know why, but while the liquid part was definitely hot, the bubbles only stuck lightly to my hand and weren’t hot.

I filled the bag, tied it shut with a string, then shook it several times to cool it down and checked the feel just to be sure.

It turned out just as I expected, so I lightly tossed the bag to Dill.

I gestured to Dill, telling him to check how it felt.

Though cautious, Dill began to touch it, looked amazed, and shared it with the sisters behind him.

The sisters who received it were also surprised by the texture and gradually started smiling happily.

“What do you think? Doesn’t it look comfortable to use as a pillow?”

“It does look comfortable, but…”

Dill gave a puzzled look and replied with concern.

His doubt was understandable, he was probably wondering if this could really make money.

You see, Dill, many money-making ideas actually come from play and fun.

Seeing Dill and his sisters puzzled, I gestured for Meiya-san and Erika to try holding it.

Meiya received it and was shocked by how it felt, then gave it to Erika who shared the same surprise.

It felt soft and squishy like water, springing back immediately after being squeezed.

I had thought about making one myself someday, but if someone else makes it, that’s quicker.

After the surprise, Erika seemed to have a sudden realization and mumbled while gazing at me in disbelief.

“…This is frightening.”

“There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

“…Well then, say it.”

“Don’t you want to try sleeping on this pillow?”

Erika only gave a dry laugh in response, so I turned my gaze to Dill and the others.

Then the sisters nodded vigorously, and Dill gave a wry smile at that.

Meiya also smiled gently and gave a nod.

You can gather slimes in the plains just outside the castle gate where the soldiers keep watch, so the kids should be fine on their own.

Slimes generally just throw sticky slime at you when they attack.

As long as they’re not ambushed during sleep, they probably won’t suffocate.

I need Erika to take care of securing the bags and the sales channels.

Well, the sales destination is already decided to be Marika’s place.

Suddenly realizing something, I knelt down and beckoned Dill over. He approached cautiously as I whispered something in his ear.

Upon hearing what I said, Dill looked shocked, but then smiled and nodded affirmatively.

It was the first time Dill smiled at me, albeit it was a wry smile…

He headed to the sisters and started talking.

His sisters listening to Dill laughed excitedly, and seeing that, Dill approached Erika with a proposal.

After listening to the suggestion, Erica gave a defeated smile and murmured while gazing upwards.

“So frightening…”
