I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 43

Amid the overwhelming killing intent, I slightly turn my head from the girl and glance at Erika and the others.

A short distance away, I spotted Erika standing behind the three girls who had armed themselves, as if they were guarding her.

“Wow, you can actually look away from me?”

“…Since you asked me for a reason, I thought you’d give me some time.”

“Mhm… I’m done being generous.”

With eyes devoid of light, she gave a perfect smile and directed an even fiercer wave of killing intent and magical pressure toward me.

From her reaction, there’s no doubt. She’s an older sister Croana told me about.

She’s clearly furious. She must think I did something to Croana.

…Still, I didn’t expect her to confirm things by smell.

I never expected to run into her so soon, especially here in Santoni.

The girl raised one hand toward me and said.

“Why do you smell like Croana?”

“…Croana is my lover.”

When I said that, the girl looked shocked.

She leaned in slightly and peered into my eyes, trying to read any falsehood in my eyes.

My back was slick with cold sweat, and it felt awful, but if I looked away now, I’d probably lose my life.

That’s how much killing intent, magical force, and terror she was pressing onto me.

“Lea, he’s not lying.”

“…Fia-nee, is that true?”

A voice similar to the girl’s came from inside the house, behind Freyr-san.

The girl called Fia spoke from behind me to the girl in front of me, Lea.

“It’s true. There’s no color of a lie in him.”

“…Alright. I believe you.”

Trusting Fia’s words, Lea lets go of her killing intent and magic.

The moment the pressure vanished, it was like a thread snapped, and sweat and fatigue hit me all at once.

Lea, standing before me, looked amused. Her eyes had regained their light, and she smiled as she spoke.

“Sorry, okay? …Um.”

“…I’m Reid.”

“Reid, huh? I’ll remember that.”

Saying that, Lea dashed past me and ran to Freyr-san’s side.

When I noticed Freyr looking at me in confusion, I figured that the girl beside her, Fia, who looked just like Lea, had done something.

With a sheepish grin, Fia looked at me and spoke.

“I’m sorry, alright?”

“Compared to you all, I’m basically a newborn… Please go easy on me.”

I couldn’t do much to get back at her, so I just answered with a tired sigh.

Fia gave me a troubled smile at my reply, then motioned for Freyr to head inside.

Once Fia also went further inside, Erika finally ran over to me.

“Are you alright?”

“…I’d love to claim I’m alright. Honestly though, I was ready to die.”

“Same here…”

“Being around you, Instructor, is never boring~”

“What a rush…”

I got responses from the three girls, though none of them made me feel better.

Before entering the house Freyr-san was inviting us into, I pulled a jacket from my magic bag and changed.

I was soaked in sweat, after all.

–

Once inside, I was asked by Freyr-san to take a seat at the big table, and I complied without hesitation.

Freyr-san sat across from me, with Fia and Lea taking seats on either side of her.

Erika took the seat at my side, and the three girls made themselves comfortable on a sofa further back.

Freyr gave me a slightly troubled smile and began to speak.

“Sorry, it looks like those two caused some trouble.”

“No, I brought it on myself.”

In response to my words, Fia smiled warmly and narrowed her eyes, while Lea grinned with delight.

…I hadn’t noticed it earlier because of the tension, but this is the first time I’ve seen such small hills in this world.

Yes, their chests were shaped like small mounds.

Both of them had long, beautiful black hair just like Croana.

They were both beautiful, but their facial features were quite different.

Fia’s appearance leaned toward alluring elegance, while Lea had a mischievous sparkle in both her looks and demeanor.

I explained the situation with the three songstresses to Freyr, then let Erika talk about the patron offer.

Freyr was surprised by the idea of Erika becoming her patron, but when we talked about the details…… in other words, the parts she could actually support, she was pleased.

What really made her happy was the lingerie from Flower Mist.

As a singer, it’s always tough to find clothes and underwear that don’t show lines.

She also mentioned that without guidance, selecting the right outfits herself took quite a bit of effort.

The conversation flowed smoothly, and it was decided that Erika would become her patron.

Oh, and by the way, she had also firmly turned down Baron Tegagusa’s offer.

Once Freyr finished speaking, Fia spoke up.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Fia, Croana’s older sister.”

“I’m Lea. Nice to meet you!”

“I’m Reid, Croana’s lover.”

“…I’m Erika.”

When they looked at Erika, Fia and Lea gave her awkward smiles.

Being looked at made Erika tremble slightly.

Well, after what happened earlier…… you can’t really blame her.

With her head tilted, Fia continued to smile gently.

“So Erika is a lover too, huh?”

“W-well… yes, that’s true.”

“Oh? He has others too? One? Two? Three? …Two, right?”

“H-how do you know that…?”

“I wonder why.”

Fia smiled mischievously, while Erika looked a little tense.

Like when I talked with Lea at the door earlier, she probably senses it through color.

I braced myself, expecting Fia to say something to me.

Instead, she raised her index finger to her mouth and made a shushing motion.

“Let’s talk more later, ‘Different Color-san’?”

“……”

I nodded when she called me ‘Different Color’, flinching a little.

It wasn’t fear that I felt.

Nor had I been hit by magic.

An indescribable feeling came over me. the phrase ‘Different Color’ only made me think of my reincarnation.

Do they know? Or are they testing me?

If colors come from feelings, then I’ve been found out.

As for words, since I haven’t answered, I might still get away with it.

I let out a deep sigh.
