I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 54

Four days have passed with the carriage moving along without issue.

The time is probably just past noon.

It would usually take three days to reach the royal capital, but for the sake of safety, this was the best speed.

Even so, we bought vegetables and fruit at villages along the way, and tried not to create a tense atmosphere as much as possible.

Minty, who is acting as the driver, raises her voice from the driver’s seat so it can be heard in the wagon bed.

“Instructor~! It’s coming into view~!”

When I stuck my head out from the wagon bed toward the driver’s seat, the royal capital’s walls came into view in the distance.

The royal castle can also be faintly seen beyond the city walls.

Looking at it like this, it’s clear that it was built quite far from the city walls.

…Looking at this kingdom’s castle, I don’t feel like waging war.

Still, people end up fighting. I understand it’s inevitable, but its painful.

It would be fine if the ones at the top did it on their own, but for the commoners and adventurers dragged in, it’s unbearable.

It was truly something tragic; I can say that precisely because I was one of those sent to war.

I remembered that time, reflected on everything I had done until now, gave a wry smile, and let out a sigh.

–

Passing through the gate, Erika and the others went to hand over the carriage to the storage area.

The three Sisters and I were let off partway and decided to start walking to the church.

Since we arranged to meet Erika and the others at the church later, there’s no problem walking ahead.

Niche and Sera are chatting while smiling together, looking fascinated by the royal capital’s streets.

While she’s smiling, Attra isn’t showing the same level of enthusiasm.

My curiosity got the better of me, so I turned to Attra walking at my side and asked.

“Have you been here before?”

“Yes. Originally, I was at the royal capital’s church with Meiya. But not long after, I received word of a transfer…”

“So you went to Santoni after that.”

“That’s right. Honestly, I wanted to stay with Meiya a bit longer… but I met these two in Santoni, so I wasn’t lonely.”

“…It’s important not to feel alone.”

“Yes, it really is.”

Attra, who had been looking at me, smiled happily and looked at the two walking cheerfully behind us.

Just like Meiya, the Sisters always show gentle expressions.

Do they have composure in their hearts, or have they trained daily to avoid panic?

Despite what they went through, they’re incredibly strong.

Feeling impressed, I looked at the three, including Attra, who had begun talking with the other two.

–

I walk leisurely down 6th Street with the Sisters, taking a break as we go.

The size of the royal capital can be a bit exhausting if you are not familiar with it

Since we were walking so slowly, Erika and the others, who were meeting us at the church, caught up to us.

They are a trained student and adventurers, so it is natural that they would catch up just by walking.

Just as I think the church should be coming into view soon, someone calls out from behind.

“Instructor Reid!”

When I turn toward the voice, Roy comes running over with a smile.

Behind him were Lucy and a female student with black hair in a ponytail, Shirin.

Upon seeing the last girl, my eyes open wide and I mutter.

“Why is she…?”

A mature-looking female student with wavy purple hair long enough to hide one eye was following behind the two.

Her name is Runen, the girl who attacked Lucy and Shirin in the story.

That’s right, she is the one who caused the incident I advised Roy about.

Roy came up to me, greeted Erika, the three adventure girls, and the three Sisters, then bowed deeply to me.

Raising his head, Roy looked at my stunned expression and spoke happily.

“It’s thanks to your advice, Instructor. I was able to save them!”

“Sorry, but can you tell me what happened?”

Shifting from a cheerful face to a serious one, Roy began to explain what had happened.

Lucy and Shirin were attacked by a person who suddenly appeared while they were on their way home together.

The attacker was a member of the group that attempted to abduct Lucy and her mother before.

Roy, who happened to be passing by, fought the attacker in order to save the two.

But the attacker’s magic was powerful, and it was difficult to rescue them.

Their power was evenly matched, and in the end, the attacker took Lucy and Shirin as hostages.

The attacker was a controlled Runen, whose strong magical power let her stay conscious while her body was manipulated.

Up to this point, everything was unfolding the same as in the original story.

In the original scenario, Roy would have to defeat Runen and make a choice between the two hostages.

In the game, you could only save either Lucy or Shirin, not both.

The one who couldn’t be saved would be kidnapped by the person controlling Runen and suffer emotional trauma.

After that, she would drop out of school and disappear from the story.

So how can you save both of them? The analysis group’s answer was to raise Roy’s longsword proficiency to 20 or higher.

Why? The answer is simple. It lies in Roy’s skill [Tirable].

This is a rare skill only Roy has in the game, it allows him to strike twice at the same time.

Its weakness is that the attack power of [Tirable] depends on proficiency.

Following the story, Roy has only just passed proficiency level 10.

As a result, only one of the two, Lucy or Shirin, can have the magic binding removed.

Therefore, the analysis group wrote this on the bulletin board.

They reasoned that if at proficiency 10 you can release one restraint, then at 20 both should be freed, right?

Therefore, I taught Roy how to improve his proficiency.

Right now Roy should easily be above 20.

That’s all good, it really is, but…

Roy looked at Runen behind him, turned to me with a smile, and said.

“I couldn’t choose either, so I chose both.”

“…What were the options?”

“Lucy and Shirin, or Runen.”

“Fuhahaha.”

I couldn’t help but laugh at Roy’s unexpected answer that went one step beyond.

Though it was meant to be either Lucy or Shirin, he went so far as to add rescuing Runen as an option.

I did say if you can only choose one, then choose both…

I never thought he would surpass the thoughts of me and the analysis group.

Roy tilted his head in puzzlement at my laughing face, and Lucy and the others behind Roy also looked puzzled.

I put my hand on Roy’s shoulder and said with a smile.

“Good job.”

“…Yes!”

Roy was momentarily stunned but then smiled and nodded firmly.

By the way, Erika and the others were watching Roy and me, having this kind of conversation.

“Erika-chan~ That kid~”

“Please don’t mention it…”

“They resemble his teacher.”

“They didn’t look alike before, really. It’s only since training started that they grew similar… sigh.”

“By the way, those kids behind him. They’re his lovers, no matter how you look at it.”

“That’s probably true. They don’t have to be so similar in every way though…”

Erika and the others had this conversation with exasperated expressions, while the Sisters wandered around.

As expected of adventurers, one might say.

Even while talking with Erika, it seems they kept the Sisters in their sight.
