I Was Reincarnated As An Instructor In An R18 Game... - Chapter 98

School was over, and we were on our way back from Flower Mist.

The reason I headed to Flower Mist was because I had heard that Marika would be staying there.

I was able to meet Marika-san without issue, she agreed to my proposal cheerfully.

Lucienne, who was there, gently stroked my cheek like lovers do, and I thanked her.

When I thanked her, Lucienne smiled, kissed me, and said, “Please don’t make me worry, okay?” I smiled and nodded.

Holding Erika’s hand, we walked toward Suzuya as I gazed ahead down the street lit by the streetlights.

Satur and Minty were leading the group, and Rolle wasn’t around since I had asked her to be elsewhere.

Suddenly, I glance at Erika’s profile as she walks next to me. She notices and turns to me, her blonde hair flowing.

Smiling and tilting her head, she touched her hair with her free hand and said,

“Is something wrong?”

“No, I just felt like looking.”

“Feel free to look whenever you want. Being… looked at by someone I like makes me happy.”

With a bashful look and slightly red cheeks, Erika averted her gaze and said.

I stopped walking, pulled her hand closer, embraced her, and kissed her.

She showed a startled expression but gently closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

I placed soft kisses on her lips over and over, enjoying the sensation each time.

“Mmm, smooch, nnnh, kiss, kiss, haa… I told you this morning to be mindful of the location.”

“There weren’t many people around, and it’s night, so I figured it was fine.”

“There are, there are people around~”

It’s true, there are a few people walking by here and there.

Erika presses herself against me, as if trying to hide her figure from the passersby.

With her face flushed red and her chest pushed against me, Erika trembles softly, and I can’t help but find her absolutely adorable.

I wrap one arm around her waist, pressing her chest even more firmly against me, and while enjoying the sensation, I run my fingers through the back of her hair as if brushing it.

I enjoyed the silky feel under my hand, lifted my face to look at Erika and kissed her again.

Maybe out of embarrassment, Erika lightly tapped my chest in little rhythmic pats while I began to laugh.

Satur and Minty were watching us from a short distance, and it was clear they were grinning.

As we flirted our way toward Suzuya, Erika froze when she saw someone standing in front of her doorway with Rolle.

With a surprised expression, she covered her mouth with her free hand and kept staring at the person.

Smiling, I let go of Erika’s hand, moved closer to the person, and said.

“Have you made up your mind?”

“Reid-sama is a terrible person.”

“Haha, I know, I know.”

With a smile, I responded amusedly to the butler’s bitter chuckle.

Rolle looked up at the butler with a happy smile, then turned to me and nodded.

Nodding in return, I smiled at the butler and began to speak.

“If you are ready to swear loyalty to the Bl00d of the Deus Family… will you kindly notify my girlfriend standing behind me?”

“…The day I call Reid-sama “Master” seems near, does it not?”

“…You look good right now. Please live a long life… I never want to see my lover’s sad face again.”

“It looks like I won’t be having any leisure time for the foreseeable future.”

The butler sighed softly, but his face wore a delighted smile.

I smiled and gently touched the butler’s aged but sturdy arm before letting go. Then Erika covered her mouth with both hands and timidly approached.

The butler turned his gaze and body toward Erika, bowing respectfully.

Erika lowered her hands from her mouth and, in a slightly trembling voice, said.

“You are safe… I am so glad you are safe.”

“I apologize for making you worry… I am ashamed to say I am looking for a job. Could you please hire me?”

“To me… sniffle, to my mother and me, you will serve us again?”

“…If you will forgive me, I vow my loyalty to the Deus family bloodline.”

“You are forgiven! You are forgiven! Huuuuu…”

Erika hid her face in her hands and began to cry. I gently stroked her back, then looked at the butler, who was standing upright with a troubled expression on his face.

Indeed, I do not want to imitate the butler’s methods, but Elysia and Erika felt a deep gratitude toward him.

He was someone so important to Erika that tears of joy spilled over.

Rolle came out of Erika’s house, perhaps having called Elysia and Merine-san, and they showed a slightly surprised expression upon seeing the butler.

Elysia approached the butler with a joyful smile, while the butler grimaced and bowed with a pained expression.

Elysia gently smiled and told the butler to raise his head.

“I am relieved you are okay.”

“Madam…”

“Please continue to take care of us, okay?”

“…Leave it to me.”

Elysia nodded at the butler’s demeanor and smiled happily at me as she approached the crying Erika.

Erika hugged Elysia tightly and buried her face in Elysia’s chest, crying even more.

Elysia stroked Erika’s head with one hand while rubbing her back with the other.

I watched that scene with a smile along with the three adventurer girls.

Elysia and Erika entered the house with the butler, and at that moment Merine-san gave me a deep bow.

When I told the adventurers at the tavern about tomorrow, they became excited and started making noise.

It was not because they were happy to escort the students, but…

“It’s the instructor’s meallllll!”

“How many days has it been!?”

“Don’t be stupid, you had steak, didn’t you?”

“That’s not the same thing!”

Yes, they are excited just because of my lunch.

…I think Niimi’s cooking is much tastier though.

Muttering that quietly, Niimi came out of the kitchen, drawn by the commotion.

I explained the situation and she smiled and nodded in understanding.

Wondering why they were so happy, I asked Niimi and she told me.

“Cooking in a restaurant seems hard, but outdoor cooking looks easier to imitate.”

“Oh… that makes sense.”

“Besides, everyone’s happy to go with you, Reid-san.”

“With me…?”

When I tilted my head in confusion, Niimi smiled happily and went into the kitchen.

Rubbing the back of my neck with one hand, I wondered if they really wanted to go to the mountains with me, then went into the kitchen to help.

The tavern’s business ended without any problems, and the cleaning was finished smoothly.

While having dinner with Niimi, I talked about what happened today, and Niimi listened with a gentle smile.

Suddenly, I thought that Niimi is exactly the kind of person called a good listener.

She doesn’t offer her own opinion, but she doesn’t give off the impression that she doesn’t want to be listen either, always smiling gently as she listens.

Occasionally nodding, she waits for me to finish before responding.

I tried to imitate Niimi a few times, but I always ended up interrupting.

…Maybe Niimi’s atmosphere is the most important part.

After taking a bath, I sat at my desk and began drafting plans for the building I plan to buy from Thomas.

Though it’s just rough drawings with notes written beside them.

But whether or not I do this makes a big difference when it’s time to act.

I’m aware that I’m the kind who acts physically before thinking things through.

So, I jot down what I want to do and plan it out like this.

Suddenly I realized this might also be part of Erika’s Suzuyа plan.

If that’s the case, I need to talk it over early or she’ll end up giving me cold looks.
