Reincarnated as an Instructor in an Adult Game
Chapter 237: Don’t trust themWe passed through the castle gate on 10th Street and went outside the royal capital. I intended to do the camping training on the wall side, and I already had the gate soldiers’ agreement. Until we got here the students had not made too much noise. When I pricked up my ears to their conversation they were talking about camping. Hearing that I was proud they were eager to study, and at the same time I felt the tension of them looking up to me.
I did not intend to teach anything wrong, but thinking my words could put the students in danger, I felt like I would be hit by an indescribable fear. The unit captains and Taylor who had done this kind of thing on the battlefield were, after all, nothing but amazing. Watching the students come outside while greeting the gate soldiers in loud voices, I tightened myself so no one would notice. It was not that I had gotten weak. I steeled myself again. The resolve not to let the students die. When I confirmed with my eyes that the students and the female adventurers were outside the capital, I folded my arms, looked them over, and raised my voice.
"Here’s a problem. If the royal capital’s gate closed, where do you think is best to camp?"
At my words the students got noisy and started acting, consulting with friends or asking the female adventurers. That’s right. If you don’t know something you should ask people who came before. It was far better than straining strangely, not asking, and failing at the last minute, and more than anything it trained the power to think for yourself. The action of asking someone something unexpectedly required using your head. Word choice... and so on.
"Bushes you can hide in~!"
"A place you can look around...?"
"Where other adventurers are camping!"
"Good! You’re on a good line. The truth is it depends on time and situation, but all of them are correct."
Answers came out here and there from the students. I smiled, nodded, looked them over, and spoke. Yes. All of them were correct, not wrong. The most important thing when camping was judging the situation. If there was information that thieves were appearing nearby, you should stop bushes the other side could hide in too. Then a place you could look around was convenient. But if the other side was a large number of thieves or monsters, an open place had the fear of being surrounded. Then you would think camping bunched up where other adventurers were camping was safe. I explained that far, smiled in a troubled way, looked over the students, and raised my volume a little.
"But you must not trust adventurers!"
I glanced at the older sisters with an apologetic meaning. They laughed as if it was nothing and flapped one hand. It was easy to forget because the adventurers gathering at Bell House were decent, but basically adventurers did not do things that did not involve money. Especially when lives were on the line they did not care about anyone besides their own party members. Of course there were exceptions like Folia and Shinku, but most adventurers were self-centered because their lives and bodies were their capital.
"Having people around will make you feel safe, but if combat starts the surroundings are full of enemies!"
"Then what should we do?"
Erika folded her arms with a difficult face and asked while tilting her head. I looked at Erika with my eyes, grinned, turned my face toward the older sisters, and asked with my gaze for them to answer. The older sisters’ smiles twitched. They took a step back and started whispering with the people around them. Don’t make such reluctant faces. I’m expecting a good answer, you know?
"Um, ah~, the direction of the tents, someone take over!?"
"Like this... so you don’t get attacked... um... how do I put it!?"
"The easiest is contracting with money~. The kind of tacit understanding that doesn’t go through the guild."
"The tent exits~~, so you can run right away~, you point them outward~~~~~"
I almost laughed at some of the flustered older sisters, but the two popular ones gave useful answers. Among adventurers with no guild watch there were several tacit understandings, and among those a lot related to camping. There was no loss in knowing, and when I said they should have them teach later the students nodded with serious faces. I looked those students over, smiled with satisfaction and nodded, then explained that today we would camp with our backs to the wall.
"Have the older sisters teach you how to pitch tents! Like always, if you wonder about something or notice something, ask right away! Got it!?"
"Yes!"
"My heart hurts from the nerveeeess"
"Aah... don’t look at me with such expectant eyes. My stomach started hurting..."
"Hey!? I’ll teach in order so don’t pull!"
"Uwaa~~, wait wait~~~, don’t puuull~~~~"
I looked over the students pulling the older sisters’ hands with a warm feeling and saw Shinku clinging hard to Lucy’s waist. Aaaah, Lucy’s waist looked like it hurt... well, they both looked like they were enjoying it so I would call it fine. Roy looked at that and laughed in a troubled way. Konru was the same. Watching everyone I saw Relia, Tia, Karinal, and Hilbyid not moving. I thought it was strange, tilted my head, and walked over. The four of them had dumbfounded faces. I did not understand and spoke.
"What’s wrong with you four? Making those faces?"
"Isn’t Filim Academy’s training too advanced?"
"It is combat training, but I could not have predicted this."
"Raide-sama’s training... it’s too different from knight training..."
The three of them were just used to knight and soldier training so it looked fresh. I was not teaching anything that advanced, I said, smiling wryly. Even now I was borrowing the adventurers’ strength, and the only thing I could teach was surviving, I continued. The three of them gave me dead-eyed looks. Hilbyid and Folia, who had come over, looked at me sideways and laughed together in a troubled way. I got a little unable to stand it, smiled wryly, rubbed the back of my neck with one hand, and walked over to check on the students.
I headed to where Erika and the twins were grouped. Sateur and the others were teaching the three while assembling a tent. Today of all days Minty was teaching seriously, and as for Roll she taught the points to watch in a matter-of-fact way. I folded my arms and watched the three’s serious state. Sateur noticed me and quietly came close. She stood beside me, watched Erika and the others, and asked in a voice too small for the surroundings to hear,
"Instructor, this training isn’t only for the students, is it?"
"...As expected. You noticed."
"We did. A few others have probably noticed too..."
I smiled wryly, rubbed the back of my neck with one hand, and looked at Sateur sideways. She was smiling happily. The biggest purpose was for the students, but now that the adventurers had founded a clan there was a chance they would train new adventurers. If you sought rank and strength, joining a clan was a shortcut, and the more famous you became the more new adventurers would join.
As I explained earlier, adventurers thought of themselves first and were not good at teaching something to others. Even if you had strength and knowledge, if you did not have the skill to teach people would leave. The students could be taught knowledge by the adventurers, and the adventurers could get the difficulty and experience of teaching. Two birds with one stone was this.
"The landlady is kind, but the instructor doesn’t lose either."
"Hahaha. I might be planning to put out a painful request later, you know?"
"If you really put one out, I’ll take it."
Sateur put on a happy smile, glanced at me, and went back to Erika and the others. The smile that said you don’t really intend to put out a request like that, right? I could only smile wryly. I checked on Rinelle, Porte, and the three songstresses. Work was proceeding with no problem, and Roy’s spot seemed fine too.
...Roy, could you not look at me so awkwardly? It can’t be helped. Roy is the only male student... there was the option of acting together with me, but I was scared I could not imagine Lucy and the others’ reactions. I remembered asking Lucy about the tonic and walked over.
Result-wise she did not have it and I was relieved, but she had not known it existed and I got asked in detail. Roy had a distant look and a half-smile. I felt sorry and apologized over and over. Um... I’m really sorry... I thought you knew.
