Chapter 94: ☆What Should I Dooo~
A little while later, I woke up to the feeling of someone stroking me.
When I opened my eyes, Lucia was looking at me lovingly with a melted expression while hugging my head.
The sensation of her large breasts against my body felt good. I turned my body sideways, hugged Lucia, and spoke apologetically.
"It seems I fell asleep... Sorry."
"No, I got to see your cute sleeping face."
I kissed Lucia many times as she wiggled to press her breasts against me, then buried my face in her enormous breasts.
Enveloped in the sweet scent, I felt my heart being healed.
During that time, Lucia continued gently stroking my head.
I took Lucia’s hand, stood up from the bed, and the two of us entered the bath.
The innkeeper must like baths; this time it was a Western-style bathhouse.
We washed each other’s bodies, flirted, and came out of the bath.
Surprisingly, the time was already 10 PM — earlier than the time I had felt.
After discussing with Lucia, we decided to return home and left the inn.
At that time, I told Lucia we should take it slow next time, and she blushed and nodded happily with a smile.
After escorting Lucia home, by the time I arrived at Suzuya, the tavern cleanup was mostly finished.
I showed my face in the kitchen where Nimi was cleaning, hugged and kissed her, then started cleaning and tidying up the finer details.
I heard from Nimi that Foria’s condition had improved considerably.
I smiled at Nimi, who spoke so happily, and told her it was thanks to her and Elysia.
At my words, Nimi smiled softly and hugged me from behind for a while.
The next day, at the training grounds.
Today there were rain clouds directly overhead, so training was under dim light.
I had already told the students before training started that we would cancel if it rained.
No matter how much you train your body, you can’t beat illness — complacency is forbidden.
While watching the students train, I glanced sideways at a certain scene.
A female student talking to Roy. Behind Roy, Lucy was tilting her head with an expression as if seeing something strange.
...So this is that event, huh.
I muttered in my heart and approached Roy and the others in a non-suspicious way.
In this event, Roy is invited out by the female student Rinaar.
Rinaar has glossy chestnut-colored wavy hair longer than her shoulders, and a solid personality.
She is good at looking after others and reading the room, so she often mediates among the students.
Above all, Rinaar has the second-largest breasts in this year after Erika.
Rinaar’s invitation is actually a trap — if Roy goes along, he will be attacked.
That alone would be fine, but it will worsen his relationship with lovers who have high favorability with him at that time.
It’s only for three days, but within those three days another event that lowers favorability even further will definitely occur.
No matter how careful players were in the many gameplay videos I watched, it always happened.
Once it occurs, several lovers will leave Roy.
If Roy refuses Rinaar’s invitation next, for some unknown reason Rinaar will drop out of the academy.
Then her family’s bakery will be shut down and she will go missing.
I approached Roy and the others while pretending to check on the students. Roy had a troubled expression.
Lucy was pinching the back of Roy’s clothes with her finger and had an anxious look.
I let out a small sigh and called out to them.
"What’s wrong?"
"...!?"
"Instructor Raide... No, it’s nothing. Sorry, Rinaar. I have plans with Lucy today, so I can’t."
"U-um, I understand!"
At Roy’s reply, Lucy made a relieved expression, took Roy’s hand, and they walked away.
Rinaar was smiling, but with a dark atmosphere she bowed to me and turned to leave.
I didn’t miss the look of despair on Rinaar’s face when I spoke to Roy.
"Rinaar."
"Eh... Yes?"
As expected, she was smiling but the atmosphere was dark.
I knelt on one knee on the ground, looked up at Rinaar’s face with a serious expression, and asked.
Even the analysis team doesn’t know the details, so I have no choice but to ask her directly.
"Your atmosphere is dark. What’s wrong? Won’t you tell me? If things stay like this, I have a feeling you might disappear somewhere."
"...What should I do... Instructor, what should I dooo~"
"Nn!? Wait, wait, calm down a bit... Kgh, sorry!"
At my words, Rinaar’s face crumpled and she burst into tears as if a dam had broken.
Rinaar covered her face with both hands, but tears were falling to the ground.
I apologized to Rinaar, princess-carried her, and started walking toward the inside of the academy.
At that time, I appealed with my gaze to Erika, who was watching me with a suspicious expression, to follow.
Erika noticed my gaze, let out a big sigh, wiped her sweat with a cloth, and followed.
At a corner of the academy out of sight of the students, I set the still sobbing Rinaar down on the ground.
Rinaar leaned her back against the wall, hugged her knees, and cried uncontrollably.
Erika, who had caught up, saw Rinaar’s state, hurriedly approached, took a cloth from her magic bag, and wiped Rinaar’s tears. While doing so, she looked at me with a puzzled expression and asked.
"What on earth happened?"
"I don’t know. Her atmosphere seemed off, so I tried to ask about the situation..."
"And she started crying?"
"...Yeah."
Erika tilted her head and looked at the still-crying Rinaar with a worried expression.
I knelt on one knee on the ground, peered at Rinaar’s face, and asked gently.
Not interrogating, but encouraging her to speak.
"Rinaar?"
"I couldn’t... invite Roy-kun, guju, I couldn’t do it aaaah!"
"...You’re sad because you couldn’t invite him?"
"My mother and I will be sold aaaah! Uwaaaaa!!"
"...!? Where is your mother right now!?"
At Rinaar’s words, I stood up vigorously and spoke strongly with a serious expression.
Erika also made a stern face at Rinaar’s words, stopped wiping her tears, and stroked both of Rinaar’s cheeks with her hands.
Rinaar, with her crumpled crying face, answered Erika and me.
"She’s still... at home, guju, at the bakery..."
"Erika, I’m counting on you for the rest. You can cancel training. Take Rinaar to Croana’s place and explain the situation."
"Understood... Please take care of Rinaar’s mother. Just... don’t do anything reckless, okay?"
"Yeah, thank you!"
I smiled a little at the worried Erika, immediately returned to a serious expression, and started running.
If it’s inside the academy, Croana’s place is the safest, and Fia and Lea are there now.
While running toward the main gate of the academy, I muttered.
"Sharle."
"...Yes."
"Roy was targeted. Targeting the hero’s son is no small matter."
"My comrades were watching too. They’ve already gone to investigate."
"...Will you help?"
At my question, Sharle laughed a little, and I felt a gentle hand stroke my cheek.
I touched the stroked cheek with one hand and looked with just my eyes toward where the voice had come from, surprised.
Of course, there was nothing and no one there.
There had been indirect signals before like warm breezes or sounds.
But this was the first time I had been touched directly, so I was surprised.
Sharle seemed to find my expression amusing and spoke with a laughing tone.
"I’ll help. Do you know the location?"
"...Yeah, I know it."
I knew the location of the bakery even without borrowing the power of the analysis team.
I put strength into my legs and increased my running speed.
Wishing I would make it in time, I ran at full speed.
