Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game

Sagua held his head with both hands and led the adventurers toward the guild.

I was told to join the discussion tonight with the adventurers gathering at [Bell House].

Is there any point in me joining? Well, I can occasionally be an opponent in mock battles...

Since taking the academy instructor position, I’ve been too busy to watch over them, so maybe I’ll show my face once in a while.

More importantly, I lowered my gaze to the magic bag in one hand containing the items from the request.

I had wanted them, but the gathering spot was two days away from the capital, so I had given up.

Now that the opportunity had come and I could obtain them, I was quite happy inside.

I had searched thinking they might be sold as medicinal herbs, but as expected, they weren’t being sold—perhaps because the knowledge hadn’t spread.

Why the Overworld world is so mismatched like this, I still don’t understand.

No matter how much I think about it, an answer probably won’t come...

I took out a single thin, deep-purple grass from the magic bag and nodded in relief that it was the same as what I had requested.

Normally one would avoid such a grass, but this is actually a medicinal herb.

Honestly, if the effect hadn’t been listed in the game, I probably wouldn’t have touched it either.

There’s something like a rinse for hair luster... so it would be strange if there was no shampoo.

The herb’s name is Shipua grass; its effect is cleaning dirt from the hair.

It’s funny that it’s limited to hair, but there are body-only herbs too, so I don’t worry about it deeply.

For the body, soap exists for now, but every time I saw people washing their hair with soap, I felt unbearably frustrated.

Men are fine... but the sight of women washing their hair with soap is truly unbearable, knowing the grooming habits of women from my previous life.

While gazing at the Shipua grass and thinking that, I was gently hugged from the left and turned my face that way.

Shuna was looking at the Shipua grass while gently hugging my left arm, asking with a curious face.

"Raide-sama, what is that?"

"You don’t know either, Shuna? This is a medicinal herb. If I asked you to help..."

"I’ll help!"

"The reward is... head pats are fine?"

Shuna cut off my words, and Furlin, who had hugged me from the right, also agreed.

Furlin took advantage of being invisible to the surroundings and strongly sandwiched my arm between her breasts, moving it slightly, which troubled me.

Since she was expressionless, I couldn’t tell if I was being seduced or teased, which was troublesome.

I thanked the two and decided to start the work right away.

I really wanted to make the girls, who must be in a dark mood, happy even a little.

I took out a pot from the magic bag, had the two produce water with magic, and lightly washed the Shipua grass.

I placed the grass on a colander to drain and washed it one after another with magical water.

This is a special herb that doesn’t show its effect if washed with ordinary water; every step must be done with magical water.

If Shuna and Furlin weren’t here, I would have asked Folia, so I’m extremely grateful to the two.

While washing the Shipua grass, I asked if there was anything they wanted me to do.

"I want you to hug me tightly."

"Stroke... my body."

"Once this matter settles down, I’ll do my best."

"I got a verbal promise!"

"I won’t let you escape, ’promise’..."

I smiled wryly at Furlin’s seriousness in casually using ’promise’, but it wasn’t a lie that I intended to do something.

Rather, since I’ve even made a promise to hold them, there’s no way I’d break it.

How many people am I making wait... Even though events are involved, I feel a bit of self-loathing.

I let out a small sigh, steeled myself again, and next had them produce a water sphere.

I threw the cleaned Shipua grass into it, had them knead it, and gradually the water sphere’s color turned purple.

It looked a bit like the water sphere was foaming, but it was only due to magical power—not actual foam.

If I tried this with ordinary water, it would foam too much and couldn’t be made.

After a while, I placed a large pot under the water sphere and had them collapse it; the pot was filled with purple water and Shipua grass remnants.

I filtered this several times with a colander, removing the remnants.

What was completed was a transparent, slightly purple liquid.

This is what is called shampoo in the Overworld world, and players used to mix various herbs here to arrange it.

In other words, it’s the basic form of shampoo.

Shuna and Furlin peeked curiously into the pot’s liquid, and when I told them it was detergent for washing hair, they looked up at me with sparkling eyes.

Their reaction made me reconfirm that hair is important.

Since the stock of small bottles in the magic bag was gone and I was troubled, I asked the two to call Erika, who should be at either the tavern or the inn.

The two went happily and extremely quickly to call Erika.

...Ah, I might have created something troublesome.

After a while, a tired-looking Erika came out of the inn, spotted me, and walked this way.

Behind her were a cheerful Shuna and Furlin, who looked excited despite her expressionless face.

Erika came beside me, looked alternately at the liquid in the pot and my face with a curious expression, and said,

"What is this liquid...?"

"Ah~, Erika, do you have any small bottles?"

"Yes, I do. They’re in this magic bag, so use them as you like. So, what is this liquid?"

"Detergent for washing hair."

"...Huh?"

"It’s like liquid soap. Though even as liquid soap, it can only be used on hair."

At my words, Erika’s face went blank with distant eyes.

When I continued telling her that I had arrangements to obtain it by requesting the adventurers from the meeting from time to time, Erika muttered with a dry laugh, "It’s impossible~" "It’s beyond tolerance~."

As if to add a finishing blow, Furlin remembered something and handed a letter to Erika from somewhere, saying,

"Erika-sama... the final donation money."

"D-donation money~?"

"Final" means all the nobles involved in Elycia’s matter are finished.

I won’t say it out loud, but serves them right...

Erika carefully opened the letter sealed with the royal seal using a paper knife from Shuna and looked at the contents.

Gradually her body began to tremble, and I hurriedly hugged and supported her as she was about to collapse.

Since the posture was bad, I princess-carried her and peered into the flustered Erika’s face, asking,

"Erika, what on earth happened? What does the letter say?"

"Nihya, 200 white gold coins..."

"Fuhah, hahaha! This is amazing—they’ve completely crushed those involved!"

"Impossible~, it’s really impossible~..."

Erika strongly gripped the letter with both hands in front of her chest, looking up at the sky with distant eyes while trembling.

Moreover, with a half-laugh... Well, but.

This is money that Elycia and Erika should originally have obtained, so receiving it is no problem at all.

The former Deus Count had monopolized it, and other nobles had been sucking that sweet juice.

Shuna and Furlin gently told me what happened to the remaining nobles, and I laughed at them being stripped of titles and exiled abroad.

They should be grateful it wasn’t capture and capital punishment.

Hearing their end made me quite satisfied, and when I told her to just accept it without saying anything, Erika froze solid.

"Erika?"

"..."

"This might be impossible~? Erika-chan, have you abandoned thinking~?"

"Erika, as expected of our employer."

"...Uwa~, I can understand Erika’s feelings~"

The three adventurer girls who had been guarding nearby approached and smiled wryly at Erika’s condition.

Shuna and Furlin hadn’t revealed themselves to Sateur and the others, so they stayed a bit away; instead, Minty peered into Erika’s face.

I felt sorry for Erika, but I laughed when I saw Roll puffing her chest proudly.

I can’t continue work like this, so I smiled wryly and asked Roll and the others to put the liquid into small bottles.

When I said the reward would be sharing some of the bottled product, they accepted happily.

...Seeing it’s not steak, hair really is life for women.

Still princess-carrying the frozen Erika, I entered the inn and opened the door to the residence space.

Because I entered carrying Erika, everyone including the twins had surprised expressions.

The beds had been put away when we woke up and the table was out, so everyone was sitting at the table.

I had a seat opened next to Elycia, sat Erika there, and she quietly clung tightly to Elycia.

Elycia tilted her head not understanding the situation, but gently hugged back the clinging Erika.

"Raide-san, what happened to Erika?"

"Ah~, there was a notice of the final donation money from the royal castle."

"Donation money..."

"Mother~..."

Erika moved slightly and handed the letter she was holding to Elycia while murmuring.

...Somehow I started feeling apologetic.

Elycia confirmed the letter’s contents while hugging Erika, and as expected, only smiled wryly.

Then, stroking Erika’s head gently with one hand, Elycia looked up at me, tilted her head, and said,

"It’s over, isn’t it."

"Yeah, looking at the amount there’s no mistake. But for the time being, it’s better to stay cautious. You never know what might happen. Everyone too, okay? If you notice or think something’s strange, tell me immediately. I’ll deal with it right away."

’Yes~!’

I smiled and nodded at everyone’s reply, then looked at Nimi who was being hugged from both sides by the twins and received a gentle smile.

When I smiled back at Nimi, Erika whispered something to Elycia, and hearing that, Elycia looked at me with a blank face and asked,

"Raide-san, Erika is talking about hair..."

"Hmm? ...Ah, I obtained the herb I mentioned at Setenia’s place and was making it."

"Eh, that means... washing only the hair?"

"Teacher~! It’s bottled~!"

At perfect timing, Minty opened the entrance door and entered, raising the magic bag in one hand with a smile.

Everyone except Elycia and Erika tilted their heads at Minty’s condition, so I smiled wryly and began explaining the herb I had obtained earlier.

As they listened to the explanation, everyone’s eyes gradually sparkled, and even the twins’ eyes sparkled, so I laughed.

When I told Minty to distribute the small bottles to everyone, she started distributing enthusiastically, and everyone looked happily at the bottles they received.

...As expected, women look better with happy smiles.

If I can see this expression, I’ll work as hard as needed.

In the residence space, I was drinking the tea Nimi had prepared together with Elycia and Nimi.

The Auroras who received the shampoo said they wanted to try it, and took Erika, Pafa, Rinelle, and the twins to the Filim Fountain.

By the way, Sateur and the others also went along excitedly.

Not just as Erika’s guards, but thinking of trying it themselves.

Even if something happens, as long as Sateur and the others are with them, the worst won’t occur, and there are adventurers at the Fiera Dormitory.

After seeing off the Auroras with a smile, I had Elycia and Nimi stay behind to talk about the twins.

Elycia took a sip of tea from her cup, then furrowed her brows a little sadly and said,

"I heard from Erika... How cruel. I don’t want to return them to such people."

"...Raide-san, I feel the same as Elycia-san. I don’t want to hand those children over..."

"I feel the same. That’s why I thought of something—will you listen?"

I explained what I had thought of to the two who had sad expressions.

Then the two were a little surprised, then smiled happily and nodded in agreement.

I have zero intention of returning the twins to a painful and sad place.

Rather, even though I still remember the anger, there’s no way I’d just hand them back.

...By the way, what are Croana and the others doing?

Since the academy is on holiday, I thought they would visit first thing...

Nimi must have read my expression, because she smiled wryly and told me.

Apparently we weren’t the only ones angry about the twins’ matter.

That makes sense—Croana’s love for her students is quite strong... and moreover, Fia and Lea are by her side now.

Those two are just as good at looking after others as Croana, and they’re adored by the students within the academy.

I’ll give the twins’ parents a little sympathy... really just a little?

When I smiled wryly at that thought, Elycia and Nimi looked at each other and began laughing happily.

Wondering why the two started laughing, I tilted my head, and Nimi tilted her head slightly, putting one hand to her cheek and said,

"I was talking with Elycia-san about wanting to remodel the house and make it wider?"

"The house... this residence space? But it’s already being used to the limit, so isn’t it impossible?"

’Fufufu, Raide-san. May we leave it to me and Elycia-san?"

"Ah, ah... I don’t mind. But the contents..."

""It’s a secret.""

"...Understood. Just don’t overdo it, okay?"

...Apparently I won’t be told the contents.

When I smiled wryly and nodded, the two nodded happily and looked at each other.

What is it... I’m really scared of seeing the result.
