I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 4

I enter and guide them to a table near the counter.

I ask Miss Erika to get the butler who was trying to remain standing and somehow manage to sit him down.

I sit down across from her.

“Well then, should we start with talking about skills?”

“…Yes, please do.”

“That said, it’s not that complicated. How many mock battles have you fought against a specific opponent at most?”

“Hmm… I don’t think it’s even 20 battles.”

“Then, have you used this yourself?”

I take out a transparent crystal ball, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, from the magic bag wrapped around my waist and show it to Miss Erika.

“Is that a… Dolperl?”

“That’s right.”

“…How did you manage to buy this?”

I can’t count how many times I’ve given a wry smile at Miss Erika’s words.

No, it was seriously expensive. I never thought it would cost 3 gold coins.

10 copper coins for 1 silver coin, 10 silver coins for 1 large silver coin, 10 large silver coins for 1 gold coin, and 10 gold coins for 1 platinum coin.

Commoners usually only use coins up to the large silver coin.

Gold coins are used for buying houses or land, and platinum coins are probably only used by nobles or merchants, right?

Well, no matter the price I would have bought the Dolperl.

This was something I needed no matter what.

Its effect is to create a duplicate with the same strength as yourself, which you can fight.

However, perhaps due to the limits of the magical tool, the Dolperl stops mimicking after a certain point.

When that happens, you can easily defeat the weaker version of yourself one-sidedly, and most people stop using it.

“May I touch it? I honestly don’t remember it.”

I nod and hand the Dolperl to her.

Amazingly, the Dolperl shows the number of battles fought when you touch it.

That means, it’s already a magical tool for that purpose.

A magical tool for acquiring your own skills.

“It’s 99 times.”

“You’ve trained quite a bit, haven’t you? That means you don’t have any skills… Am I right?”

“…It’s frustrating to reveal my hand, but I don’t have any skills.”

“Then, you should go fight once more.”

“???”

I replied with a smile to Miss Erika, who looked dissatisfied.

Slowly, she tilts her head and looks at my face with a puzzled expression.

If I may say so, what a convenient number of times you’ve trained.

With this, there’s no need for long and troublesome persuasion or explanations.

Miss Erika, looking genuinely upset, stands up and walks out with her butler.

In the meantime, I guess I’ll help out at the store.

–

While I was serving drinks and food to the adventurers, Miss Erika burst through the tavern door.

As soon as she spots me with her gaze, she approaches me quickly, her chest swaying with every step.

“Instructor Reid!? Why, how do you know about this!?”

“Looks like you’ve acquired a skill, congratulations.”

“Thank you. But that’s not it, why…?”

“How about sitting down and having a leisurely chat?”

Before I knew it, Niimi was by my side, gently smiling and pointing to the table where we had been sitting.

“You must be thirsty, so I’ll bring you a drink.”

“…I’m sorry, I’ve lost my composure.”

“No, it’s fine, please wait at your seat.”

I lightly laugh and follow Miss Erika, who is heading to her seat with an awkward expression.

You have quite the expressive face, I’m starting to like you more.

The butler quietly hands a towel to Miss Erika, who has taken her seat.

She takes it and lightly wipes the sweat and dirt from her face, and I think as I watch her.

Is she really 16? She’s too seductive.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, is something fruit-based okay?

“Yes, thank you very much.”

“… Reid, you take good care of your students, right?”

“I do try to take care of them, but…”

Smiling awkwardly, I shifted my gaze from Niimi-san, who was returning to the kitchen, to Miss Erika.

What’s wrong, looking at me with such a disbelieving expression?

Miss Erika drinks the fruit water, looking surprised, then takes another sip.

Well, I’m sure she’ll point it out, but let’s move on with the conversation.

My apologies, Miss Erika.

“Huh, why is it cold?”

“Skills are obtained by having 100 mock battles with the same person.”

“Eh? The drink is cold…”

“The reason many nobles have skills is that they own Dolperl, which lets them fight themselves 100 times to get it.”

“…I’ll mention the drink later. But why hasn’t this been figured out yet? The kingdom’s knights train every day, after all?”

“It’s because it has to be ‘one-on-one’ with the same person, and you can only obtain one skill from one person.”

“…From what you’ve explained, it sounds like you can have multiple skills, Instructor Reid?”

Miss Erika places one hand on her forehead, looking like she has a headache.

Hmm, that’s right.

I call out to one of the adventurers, who is laughing and making noise at the next table.

“Hey, mind if I ask you something?”

“What’s up, instructor? Are you drinking!?”

“No, I’ll pass today. How many skills do you have?”

“…What’s up with that girl?”

“She’s my student, is that a problem?”

“Oh, if she’s the instructor’s student, then it’s fine! I have two, thanks to the instructor!”

He slapped my shoulder a few times, laughing happily, and then returned to his companions.

I move my gaze to Miss Erika, who is left stunned by the adventurer’s words, and speak to her with a soft chuckle.

“This is how it is.”

“…I have a headache.”

“How’s it? I’ve been giving you special treatment, haven’t I?”

“You’ve done more than enough, I owe you more than you owe me…”

“No, it’s fifty-fifty. I do have a few things I want help with… well, maybe quite a bit?”

“…There’s been so much going on, I need to clear my head for a bit.”

“Well, the academy is closed tomorrow, so would you accompany me on a shopping trip?”

“…Understood. I’ll come by tomorrow morning.”

Miss Erika stands up and heads for the exit.

I follow her to see her off, accompanying her to the entrance of the premises.

Suddenly, Miss Erika looks at me, gives a graceful bow, and says.

“I forgot to thank you.”

“It’s fine, but from now on, bring something to cover yourself, alright? Whether it’s on purpose or not, Miss Erika should be a little more mindful of people’s gazes.”

“…I’ll be more careful.”

Miss Erika responded to my words and began walking with her butler.

I tilted my head as I watched her from behind.

It seemed like she had slightly flushed cheeks.

Eh, no way, you didn’t notice? That’s too dangerous.
