I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 67

The discussion ended around 7 PM.

The capture of the slimes was left to Dill and his group, who were asked to bring them to the Bowers’ shoe shop, and then Diene would pay them their reward.

It was decided that the slimes would be captured in this manner.

It seems that Erika and Diene will visit the church to greet them at a later date.

Since it’s uncertain whether the shoe project will succeed, Erika will invest to prevent Bowers from bearing the cost.

In return, if it succeeds, they will divide the profits 6:3:1.

The distribution ratio was set as Diene: Erika: mine.

I said I didn’t need it, but both of them told me no.

…Well, actually, the distribution for Marika and the church alone is quite a bit.

To give you an idea of how much, within 10 days, three platinum coins and a little extra will find their way into my pocket.

I have savings for when something happens to my loved ones…

To be honest, I wonder if I should really take it when I haven’t done anything.

I could understand if I had no other job, but I’m also an instructor at the academy and the owner of Suzuya.

In terms of income, I make a pretty good amount.

I crossed my arms and thought for a bit, then decided to use it for my lovers and students.

The renovations at Suzuya have been completed, and there’s nothing else I can think of to renovate… for now.

Come to think of it, Diene said she would come to the academy tomorrow to measure the students’ feet.

It was the same with Marika, but their actions are impressively quick.

By the way, after we left Bowers, the three adventurer girls were waiting for me and Erika.

So, what happened as a result?

“Erika-chan~! If Rolle hadn’t been tracking you, we would’ve had no clue where you were~!”

“I’m sorry! P-please, stop it!”

“I~ wonder why you keep forgetting~!”

“Ah! I’ll be more careful next time, so please don’t rub me!”

“You’ve said that before, haven’t you~?!”

Unusually angry, Minty groped Erika’s chest roughly from behind, and Erika gasped slightly while apologizing.

I’d made eye contact with Rolle a few times before arriving at Bowers, so I assumed she knew about it.

However, it looks like she had forgotten to mention it, and now Minty is scolding her.

Satur watched the two of them with a wry smile, while Rolle kept an eye on the surroundings.

I quietly approached Rolle and asked her in a whisper.

“How is the butler doing?”

“Mm, he’s doing well.”

Rolle smiled at my words, and I returned the smile, ending the conversation.

I was being considerate of Erika, but I’m sure she’d want to see him in good health.

Also, Rolle mentioned that she has conveyed a little about the butler’s condition to Erika.

It seems like Minty was no longer groping her chest, as now she’s standing right in front of Erika, seriously talking about the dangers.

While Erika bowed her head repeatedly to Minty, I caught sight of a group of three people out of the corner of my eye.

It was the three songstresses: Aurora, Winn, and Rain.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed like they were being approached by a young man and looked like they were getting annoyed.

Rolle, who was nearby, lightly tugged on my clothes and whispered to me.

“Teacher, those girls are in trouble.”

“Got it, thanks.”

I thanked Rolle, who smiled and shook her head.

I signaled to Satur with a glance and made my way over to the songstresses.

The closer I got, the more I could hear the voices of the songstresses and the young man with black hair.

“I’ll protect you!”

“No, it’s fine.”

“It’s safer for all three of you to stay by my side!”

“You’re being persistent, I’ve already said no!”

“Beautiful girls like you should be by my side!”

“…What’s someone who wasn’t there during the tough times saying?”

The young man looked at me suspiciously as I spoke, while the songstresses showed expressions of relief upon seeing me.

I stood with an exasperated expression between the young man and Aurora, who was standing in front to protect Winn and Rain.

The young man spoke in an irritated tone as I stepped between him and the songstresses to protect them.

“Who are you?”

“I’m their academy instructor.”

“Could you not interfere? I’m trying to protect them.”

“…Ha ha ha, as objects?”

He said something so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh.

From his earlier words, it was clear he had no intention of treating them as human beings.

The young man, irritated by my laughing, raised his voice and said.

“That’s not it!”

“To begin with, as I said earlier… why didn’t you protect them when they needed it the most?”

“I was watching, and I was protecting them!”

“…Oh, you were watching, huh?”

I crossed my arms with a serious expression, keeping a wary eye on the young man desperately trying to explain himself.

I didn’t know what the pressured young man might do, especially because he looked like he was about to confess.

Around us, a crowd of onlookers had gathered after hearing the commotion.

Frustrated that things weren’t going his way, the young man stamped his feet and raised his voice at me.

“That’s right, I was always watching!”

“In that case, you’re also one of Baron Tegagusa’s associates, right?”

“I’m the one… eh?”

I whispered to Aurora behind me, telling her to join up with Erika nearby.

With a concerned look, Aurora nodded at my words and took Winn and Rain with her as she walked off.

The young man froze in surprise at my words, and I sighed before continuing.

“Why are you frozen? If it has nothing to do with you, you wouldn’t normally stop the momentum.”

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“You’re late, fool… Sharle.”

When I whispered Sharle’s name, the young man suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.

The young man’s body, on the verge of collapsing, was gently laid down on the ground.

The gathered crowd of bystanders was shocked and started buzzing as the young man fainted suddenly.

Shortly after, the guards arrived, and I explained the situation to them and had them take him away.

Letting out a tired sigh, Sharle whispered in my ear.

“I’ll pass along the information about him and tell them to investigate carefully.”

“I’m sorry to trouble you…”

“Fufu, it’s my job, don’t worry about it… well then.”

When the guards took the young man away, the gathered onlookers scattered.

Then, I saw Erika and the songstresses, surrounded by Satur and the others, standing guard.

When Erika saw me, she smiled with relief, and the songstresses, smiling in relief, rushed to hug me.

I braced myself and held on tight to absorb the shock from all three of them hugging me.

“I was really scared!”

“Thank you, Instructor!”

“Uuu~ Instructor~”

“…I’m glad nothing happened.”

The three of them pressed their apple-sized chests against me, clinging tightly enough to change their shape.

Perhaps because of fear, all three of them were trembling slightly.

I found out something unexpected when I spoke to Erika, who lifted her head and gave a faint smile.

“It seems that man was in their homes …all three of them.”

“…That’s the worst.”

“Yes, and then the three of them ran outside and he followed them… Here’s the story.”

Breaking into their homes and stalking… those are serious crimes.

I patted the heads of the three holding onto me and thought for a moment.

They’d probably be scared to go home and sleep like this. I remembered that the guest room at Suzuya was available.

I told the three of them to stay at Suzuya for the night, and they each bowed in gratitude.

I stroked their heads once more, and they smiled in relief, looking happy.

Meanwhile, Erika, watched the scene with her arms crossed and her chest shaking, smiling and whispered in an exasperated voice.

“It seems like it’s going to increase.”

“…Really?”

“Geez, I won’t comment on it anymore okay?!”

I laughed at Erika, who said she wouldn’t comment anymore, yet emphasized the end of her sentence in a strong tone.

We all headed toward the songstress’s house, grabbed what they needed, and then walked toward Suzuya.

…Anyway, it was just like something out of a picture-perfect confession.

I remembered the young man and let out a sigh with a wry smile.

[Profile]

*Aurora

Height 165 cm, 16 years old, red hair styled in a semi-long cut that’s a bit longer than shoulder length.

Her semi-long hair is cut straight across and neatly trimmed.

Her expression is sharp and serious, reflecting her earnest and straightforward personality.

She has a slender build, with a chest size about the same as an apple.

She is the leader of the three songstresses who are starting to gain popularity in the region.

She usually doesn’t complain or show any vulnerability.

However, with Winn and Rain, whom she trusts, she sometimes shows weakness and relies on them.

After being helped by Reid, she has started to confide in him and show her vulnerability.

Perhaps because of her serious nature, she seems to struggle with the idea of being openly affectionate.
