I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 79

The next day, around 6 o’clock.

Niimi and I are having breakfast and drinking tea after the meal.

Niimi puts her hand to her cheek and sighs softly, looking exhausted.

Seeing Niimi like that, I lower my head with a troubled expression.

“Truly, I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s not really Reid’s fault… I mean, it is… but… I’m happy, you know? I’m just tired.”

“But…”

“I am happy, truly. Being loved makes me glad, you know? But… if you could go easy on me a little, I’d be grateful.”

Niimi, with a troubled expression, blushed and smiled, then I bowed my head once more at her words.

Since I embraced Niimi early on, Niimi’s physical condition was able to recover by this morning, however.

Afterwards, I did things like cleaning and bathing, but the one who had it the hardest was Niimi.

I had experience reading such manga before, but no… I didn’t think the follow-up story would be this troublesome.

I could only stay by Niimi’s side, and I was more flustered than Niimi.

If Niimi hadn’t smiled softly and comforted me many times, I would have remembered it the next time I held a lover.

No, I probably will remember it, but I mean in a traumatic kind of way.

Niimi’s tiredness is because she hardly slept, so I begged her to take the morning off after seeing her condition.

Niimi gave a wry smile at my insistence and finally consented, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

I vow in my heart that the next time we try for a baby, it will be on a day when she has the next day off.

…I guess there’s something strange going on with my body after all.

Even though I checked my status screen many times, there were no strange skills, and the proficiency levels were fine.

I’ve never heard of hidden statuses in Overworld, and it was never brought up in any of the analysis team’s discussions.

While thinking, ‘There’s no way…,’ I trace a certain part of the status screen with my finger.

But nothing happened, and I gave a wry smile and shook my head.

It was just a dubious rumor like an urban legend, and the analysis and verification teams never tried it, so there’s no way it could be true.

I carry Niimi in a princess carry to the bedroom, lay her on the bed, tell her to rest slowly, and give her a kiss.

Niimi answers with a smile full of maternal warmth, and I tell her, “I’m leaving,” then head out to go to the academy.

At that time, I briefly explained to the two helpers that Niimi was tired and asked them to take care of her in the morning.

They readily agreed, but I was met with their grinning faces as they looked at me.

–

The academy’s training grounds.

Since the weather is clear today, sweat comes out immediately when you move your body.

While watching the students training and sweating, I was about to tell them to hydrate but stopped.

…Come to think of it, was water the only thing they used for hydration?

It’s dangerous to underestimate it just because it’s not that hot, so I call Erika, who was training nearby, to check.

Erika approaches while wiping her face with a cloth and tilting her head.

“What’s wrong?”

“Sorry, it’s sudden, but what do you drink for hydration?”

“…Water, or fruit juice?”

“Hm…”

Erika wipes her neck with a cloth, thinks for a moment, and then answers with a puzzled expression.

Come to think of it, after embracing Erika, her rose scent floats closer to me whenever she approaches.

It’s not that I dislike it, but it feels like it’s gradually getting stronger.

This isn’t limited to Erika, I feel like the scent of my lovers are becoming stronger.

The scent of my lovers, so pleasant that I want to keep smelling it forever.

I gave a wry smile, shook my head, and started rummaging through my magic bag.

…It’s simple, but it’s better than nothing.

I take out a wooden mug, add sugar and salt, and pour water using a water magic tool.

Then, I stir well with a stick and season it with a lemon-like fruit called Leemon.

Leemon is a fruit similar to lemon, it’s sour like a lemon, but the aftertaste is quite sweet.

I take a small sip to test the taste, forgive me for the flavor as I’m not an expert.

I hand the mug to Erika, who was watching my actions with a tilted head and a puzzled expression, and tell her to drink.

Cautiously, Erika puts her lips to the mug, takes a sip, then pulls her mouth away and hides her mouth with one hand, showing a surprised expression.

“It’s delicious!”

“…Is it really good?”

“Huh? Ah, yes, it’s delicious, but… is something wrong?”

Even though I added sugar and salt by eye, it shouldn’t taste good if it’s healthy.

It’s far from the ready-made products of my past life, but to put it simply, it’s like lukewarm seawater with a low salt content.

It might be a good idea to make arrangements to have it prepared before the heat really sets in.

…Come to think of it, what about the person who mixed the white tokens I gave to Rolle for the butler to drink?

Deciding to ask on the way back, I take the mug from Erika.

After quickly explaining that it’s an experiment for hydration, she crosses her arms, places her chest on her arms causing it to sways gently, and gives me a pointed stare.

“…Am I going to invest again?”

“Well… I don’t know about that.”

“My assets have already surpassed those of a baronial noble, you know?”

“That’s impressive.”

“Geez, you treat it like it’s someone else’s problem… Oh?”

Erika, who had been giving me a cold stare, looks behind me with a puzzled expression.

I tilt my head and turn around to see Porte running toward me with a cheerful smile.

The fact that she’s running means her feet must have completely healed.

When she reaches in front of me, placing both hands on her knees and breathing heavily, I smile and speak to Porte.

“It seems like your feet have healed, huh?”

“Yes, thanks to you, instructor!”

“Me?”

Porte looks up at me and takes out the cream I gave her from her pocket.

She didn’t apply it to the wounds, but used it on the hardened areas of her soles, and it seems to have softened them quite a lot.

Also, she told me happily that she applied it to her hands out of curiosity, and now her hands feel smooth.

Her smile, which shows no signs of sadness, fills me with happiness, and I gently stroke Porte’s head with one hand.

She probably wiped her sweat, but I smile while running my hand through her slightly damp hair.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. If you start feeling down, just come to me right away. I’ll praise you as much as you need.”

“Uh, ah… Yes, I understand.”

When I removed my hand from Porte’s head, who had blushed with embarrassment, she looked a little disappointed.

…Does she like having her head petted? If so, I’ll pat her head when she does her best.

Then, from beside me, Erika peeks her face around and smiles, waving her hand at Porte.

When Porte notices Erika, her expression brightens, and she approaches Erika.

She also went on to explain the cream to Erika.

As she listened to Porte’s explanation, Erika smiled, but her eyes were on me.

Her eyes were already a cold stare. I was surprised to see her glaring while smiling.

Erika’s eyes were saying, “Again, huh?”

I gave a wry smile, scratched the back of my head with one hand, and scanned the training grounds to check on the other students.
