Part 2

“Ugh! W-what should I do?”

The instructor began to look aghast.

“Well, that’s not good. ……”

The reason for her exaggerated reaction is that the instructor is a bad alcoholic drinker.

Alcohol — transforms the instructor.

The instructor herself knows this, and is ashamed of it, so she does not drink alcohol except on special occasions.

Nevertheless, she has just consumed it by accident.

That’s why the instructor looked panicked.

She was on the verge of resignation and had to accept the events that were about to take place in a mature manner.

“Wh-why is there a cooking sake here?

“I saw that Erza had put in secretly this morning…… so I had it confiscated.”

But I never would have thought that this was going to happen. I should’ve been prepared.

I checked on the instructor and saw that her face was slowly starting to turn red. Her eyes were spinning and was beginning to lose her sanity.

“I-instructor? Are you okay?”

“……”

No response.

No, I think the instructor was feeling good and fluffy.

It is safe to assume that the switch was already flipped.

“…. Shall we resume cooking, then, Theo-kun?”

The instructor said as if nothing had happened. It is clearly seen that she is no longer the usual instructor. It was not because of the redness of her face nor it was not because her eyes. What was strikingly different about the drunk instructor was that–

–Her psyche is slowly building up.

“Ah, but I’ll wipe the eggs off your face before I start cooking. I’m sorry, I’m a no-good woman who can’t even crack an egg properly… I can’t provide for you like this, Theo-kun.”

“No, no, you don’t have to provide for ……”

The instructor, who began to wipe my face, said something strange, but still remained close to her usual attitude. I wish it would stay that way.

“Yes, here we go. It’s looking clean. Good, good.”

“I-Instructor, why are you suddenly patting my head!”

“It’s because Theo-kun is such a cutie. — or not. Fu~fu~fu.”

She removed her hand from my head and smiled mischievously.

I was thunderstruck by the cuteness of it, but the difference from the usual instructor made me break out in a cold sweat.

The drunken instructor’s seriousness disappears. Her playful side appeared. And she started spoiling me.

It’s still a very minor change, but if you ask the sober instructor, it’s a plunge into her black history – so she’s not drinking anymore. Whenever she drinks alcohol, her personality changes drastically.

“However Theo-kun, you smell a little bit of eggs. You have to take a proper bath later. Ah, you can also go in with me if you want?”

“That’s…”

“Just kidding. Fu-fu-fu.”

The instructor smiled wickedly while saying it.

“But if you really want, I can go in with you later, okay?”

“—Eeh??”

I know that this is also a joke, but it really is an irresistible offer coming from the instructor.

The instructor looked at me in amusement as she moved to the kitchen table.

“But before we talk about the bath, let’s start making omelets first, shall we? ”

“Okay, I guess we’ll start from breaking the eggs.”

We returned to cooking but since we’re dealing with heat, I can’t let down my guard on her. I don’t hate the drunk instructor, but in this situation, I’ve got no choice but to take the initiative.

“Hurry up, Theo-kun, you’re my teacher now, right?”

Look, you’re starting to say some crazy things right off the bat.

“I’m your teacher?”

“Yes. Egg-cracking teacher.”

“It’s only a simple instruction. Why go to lengths to call me a teacher?”

“But a teacher is a teacher. Right? Theo-sensei?”

Ugh… It’s a strange feeling of immorality to be called a teacher by the instructor…

“Se-n-sei, can you quickly teach me how to crack an egg?”

After whispering that to my ears, she immediately let out a seductive breath.

“Ara… A nice response. Is Theo-kun’s ear his weakness?”

“It doesn’t matter what it is. Please wait a minute, I’ll get an egg.”

“Ye~s. Then will you teach me how to crack eggs again?

“Of course I’ll teach you, but It’s not that difficult. You just need to be careful.”

“I don’t know how much strength you have to put into, so it would be nice if you could guide me from behind. I want to become a better cook to feed Theo-kun.”

She then wiggled her as* as an invitation to me.

It’s not ‘THAT’, right… That thing you do from behind.

Does she want to teach or hug her from behind…?

“Let’s go, Theo-kun, give me some enthusiastic instruction, will you?

“I-I u-understand.”

I can’t ignore it. In fact it seems to be the most efficient way to teach, so I agreed. I moved to the back of the instructor, and put my hand on top of her hand. The instructor’s hips were snugly attached to mine, which made me somewhat uncomfortable.

“Kya~ … So suddenly from behind Theo-kun…? You’re quite bold.”

“Y-you t-told me to do it, didn’t you!”

“Fu-fu-fu-fu, that’s right.”

She said that, and as if to tease me.

“I think… I’ve gotten carried away a little. This is surprisingly embarrassing…”

Apparently, the drunk instructor was embarrassed when she asked me to teach her from behind.

“I’ll move away then.”

“D-don’t. I can endure this much if I want to be able to provide for Theo. But you won’t turn into a wild beast all of a sudden, will you?”

“You don’t need to provide for me! And I’m not going to transform into a beast that’ll devour you!”

“Hmm… I don’t know. Theo-kun is a boy at that age. Maybe you’re keeping that beast in your heart?”

“I am not keeping anything of that sort!”

“He~h?”

The instructor looked back with a skeptical half-smile.

“Even though you’re a guy who’s fallen in love with this older woman, won’t you suddenly become an animal and attack me?

“N-no, I am not an animal and I won’t attack you.”

“Maybe you’re just hiding your fangs? Theo-kun’s really such a spoiled brat, aren’t you? ”

“I am not a spoiled brat!”

“But when I do this sort of thing, you look so happy. You’re such a spoiled brat. Pat- pat-.”

Instructor Miya lovingly stroked my head.

Maybe I’m unconsciously showing a look of joy right now.

“So what now, spoiled Theo-sensei? Can we proceed with the lessons on how to crack eggs again?”

Instructor Miya turned her back on me again and took the teaching posture just like before.

Hurry up and return to the normal instructor! I’m getting tired of being pushed around!

I decided to start teaching the instructor, praying that this would end safely.

“Uh, okay. Actually, there’s nothing hard about cracking an egg.”

Our hands overlapped as I began to teach the instructor. Then I moved our hands to smash the egg against the rim of the bowl and succeeded in breaking it open.

“Ara, it broke so easily.”

“That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

“Yes, thanks to Theo-sensei. Thank you.”

She then turned around, winked and gave me a light hug.

I’m scared by this kind of touchiness that only the drunken instructor can provide.

“Ara, was that too much for you, Theo-kun?

“N-no, I don’t think so…”

“That’s a roundabout way of saying we should do more than that, isn’t it? Theo-kun’s a pervert!”

The instructor lightly touched my leg, while saying seducing things to me. She was far from being sober, and it seemed to be getting out of control. I have no choice but to endure it.

“Then Theo-sensei, please teach me a lot of things from here on out, okay~?”

That’s why we continued the omelet process moving like a two-person inside a single haori. We went through the process of cracking, stirring, and baking the eggs. We finished the plain omelet, albeit awkwardly.

Even the soup and salad were made in close proximity with each other, and when we brought it to the table, that was the time I was finally freed. This was definitely more exhausting than training exercises.

“Finally, we somehow made it…”

“Fu-fu-fu-fu, this is the fruit of our love.”

“C-can you please not put it like that?”

“But it’s the truth, isn’t it?

“S-such a thing!”

“Ara, why are you all red in the face? Fu-fu-fu, Theo-kun’s really so cute.”

The instructor sat next to me, still drunk, and started patting my head again. It’s kinda nice. I’m an abomination, so I don’t have a family, but precious moments like this are when I can feel love like having one. I’d like to get this done by the sober instructor, but I guess that would be difficult.

“Well, let’s eat before it gets cold. –Itadakimasu.”

Following the instructor, who started the meal, I began to take the meal as well.

“It’s ugly, but it’s delicious if I say so myself. What do you think, Theo-kun? Which tastes better? This or Erza?”

“No doubt it’s Erza’s.”

“Wh-what’s the matter with you? You just can’t tell me this is delicious, can you?”

“But that’s why I think there’s so much room for improvement. Let’s make more stuff together in the future.”

“D-doing more stuff together in the future— ”

The instructor was surprised and looked down quickly.

“That line of Theo-kun…. really took me by surprise.”

“Eh?

The instructor was blushing. I’m sure she was touched by my words, but did I go that far?

“You really are dense, Theo-kun. It’s a good thing that you’re not aware of the fact, but because you’ve made me feel so embarrassed, I’m going to let you feel it too.”

“Eh?”

After that abrupt declaration, the drunk instructor smiled mischievously.

“Here you go, ~ahhn.”

As soon as she said that, she cut up a piece of omelet and held it out to my mouth.

Force feeding for sharing the embarrassment.

It seems she’s trying to embarrass me by doing that. The drunk instructor is kind of cute, well, it’s not that I don’t like it, but I’m not good with it! She’s way too aggressive! Is she okay with it? Maybe she doesn’t feel embarrassed because her feelings are now being pushed onto me.

“What’s wrong? Hurry and eat it. A~hhn”

“Ugh…”

Giving in to this would definitely be embarrassing, but I didn’t want to miss the instructor’s spoon-feeding.

So I decided to give in. I want to be fed by the instructor. Shame is only a moment. Don’t mind it, don’t mind it.

“I-Itadakimasu…!”

I opened my mouth, ready to take a bite out of the omelet in my fork.

At that moment, the instructor’s wicked grin deepened and then — whoops.

The fork with the omelet was pulled away, and disappeared in front of my eyes, me biting into the air.

“Eh?”

She pulled a feint on me!?

While still shocked, the instructor started laughing as if she can’t take it anymore.

“Theo-kun… fu-fu (laugh)… is cute like a koi flocking to the food” .

“Tch… Stop teasing me instructor! I’m going to be very angry!”

“Fu-fu-fu… I’m not afraid even if Theo-kun is angry. But I don’t want you to be angry, so let’s do it one more time, okay?”

Then the omelet was offered again.

I put my face close to it warily, to make sure it’s not going to be quickly pulled, and then open my mouth.

Immediately afterwards, I was delighted when I succeeded in biting it up after she offered it with “ahhn”.

Maybe “dreaming” is an exaggeration, but a spoon-fed from an instructor is too good to be true! Of course, there was a certain amount of embarrassment, but the joy was worth it.

“Muu (pout) — … Theo-kun’s not ashamed. I wonder if this strategy was a mistake.”

Then the instructor showed signs of thinking, and after a while.

“– Ah.”

And soon after, she smiled devilishly as if she thought up with a good idea.

I have a bad feeling about this.

And just as I was about to brace myself.

“Wa-mp.”

The instructor sat next to me, and sweetly bit my ears.

“— !?”

For a moment, I couldn’t understand and moved away. Immediately after, I realized the current situation, and with immense shame, I said.

“W-What d-do you think you’re doing instructor !?”

“I was wondering if you’d be embarrassed if I did this, and it worked out, right?”

The instructor said this with a satisfied smile, while biting my ears, but–

“But wait… it’s kinda embarrassing for me too…”

I’m not sure if “caught in her own trap” was the correct word or not, but — it seemed to have been the case.

After that, just after finishing his dinner, the instructor sobered up.

“… Are? What am I doing?”

I was cleaning up when I noticed the sudden change with the instructor. I approached her, who was resting in a chair after I had finished cleaning up. I brought her a glass of water as a wake up call.

“Instructor, are you okay now?

“A-ah, Theo-kun, what was I doing? Was I sleeping?”

The instructor asked me while rubbing her eyes. The memory of her being drunk has always been fuzzy. It seems that her memory is not completely forgotten during her drunken state, and she can remember a little bit of it when told what happened.

That’s why she’s a bad drinker and usually refrains from drinking alcohol.

“No, the instructor was not asleep. You drank the cooking sake while we were making dinner, so your memory of what happened next has blurred.”

“–Ah.”

As I told her, the instructor seemed to remember that she had mistakenly drunk the cooking sake. She then begin to blush deep-red due to embarrassment.

“…… Did I get you in trouble for being drunk, Theo-kun?”

“No, it was fine. So you don’t need to worry about it.”

I chose not to report the details.

Even if I told her, it would be a black history for the instructor.

And it doesn’t matter since it’s not bothering me in the slightest.

“Really? Then I’m glad.”

The instructor sighed as a sign of relief and then drank the glass of water I had placed on the table.

“Fuu … it looked like it was okay this time, but when I drink alcohol, I sometimes go crazy. I really have to be careful …”

Let’s just keep the details from the sober instructor.

With that in mind, I resumed cleaning up.

“Speaking of which, you said earlier that you were going to give me more freedom. So what does that mean?”

“Before I answered that, has Erza arrived?”

“No, she’s not here yet.”

“I’ll explain it to you when Erza arrives.”

Then I heard a knock at the door.

Could it be Erza?

Theo-kun, would you go and take a look?

I nodded, “Okay,” then moved to the front door and called out to the person on the other side of the door.

“Who is it?”

“Theo’s Future Bride”

“Please go home.”

With that said, I unlocked the door and opened it.

And sure enough, there was Erza, standing there —

“You …… What are you doing?

For some reason, she was wearing the ‘naked apron’. I kept making eye contact for a moment, then resigned myself to figuring out why, then quickly closed the door and pretended I didn’t see anything.

“Theo, why did you close the door!?”

“…… Because there was a suspicious person.”

“There is no one else besides me. I’m the only one here so open up!”

“You’re the suspicious person!”

“Open it. I’ve accomplished Miya’s errand… so this is unfair.”

“What’s up with your terrible outfit?”

While saying that, I opened the door again. Naturally, Erza’s naked apron jumped into view again. What a sight to behold.

“Did you get excited by my appearance?”

“I’m not excited, I was just surprised. And please stop flapping the hem of your apron!”

Her moderate b*****s were peeking out slightly and her lower body which was probably not wearing anything was also very dangerous.

There are many more things I should say to her, but for now, I’ll ask her to come in.

“It was Erza after all… but what’s with the stylish-looking outfit?”

The moment I went back to the living room, the instructor looked at Erza with a dumbfounded look on her face.

Elsa proudly puffed out her small chest.

“This is a move to seduce Theo (flap-flap).”

“So please stop flapping it up and down.”

After I said that, I turned to my instructor.

“Anyway, since Erza is here, can you explain how you would give me a little more freedom? Is it related to your earlier conversation with Erza this morning?

“Yeah. — Have you brought what I asked for Erza?”

“Unn, here it is.”

Erza is carrying a vertical black case. It looked like it could be a musical instrument. Erza put it in front of the instructor and the instructor nodded with satisfaction.

Thank you Erza, I have indeed received it. Then this is the payment.

Instructor Miya then took out a bunch of bills from her wallet.

That’s a lot of money. I wonder what’s in the package?

Elsa receives a bundle of bills and begins to slowly count them.

“It’s too much.”

“That’s for all the troubles with this errand.”

“Then I won’t hesitate. I’m happy to have this much money for my future baby with Theo.”

“You really should stop saying such vulgar things. You’re a girl aren’t you?”

The instructor scolded Erza. I’m glad she’s back to her tightwad-self, so why does she do that when drunk? I’d want it to be recognized as one of the three greatest mysteries in the world.

While thinking of this, Erza turned to the instructor and said.

“I’m just expressing my honest feelings. This outfit is also an expression of my affection for Theo. But Miya, don’t do what I do. It’ll only hurt for an aunt like you to dress like this.”

“Ah, is that so…. I’ll let your superiors know how you’re a very good talker.”

“No, please don’t.”

“If you want me to stop, put on some clothes first.”

She can’t beat the instructor in an argument, so Erza took some clothes out of her bag and reluctantly began to change out of her naked apron.

“Oi… why are you changing here?”

“It’s the least I can do to fight back against Miya”

“Why are you still looking at Theo-kun? Close your eyes!”

“Y-yes…”

“I don’t mind if he stared at me. He can look every inch of it if he wanted.”

“–E-R-Z-A? You’re having a really good time, aren’t you?

At that moment, the instructor let out an intimidating voice. I quickly hid behind the dressing room. I’m sure she sensed that, so she stopped bothering me and began to quickly put on her clothes.

She then left the black tights she hadn’t worn on purpose at the end of the day.

She went home with a regretful look on her face after fulfilling her protests.

“What will I do with that child… Theo-kun, please get rid of those tights later.”

“I understand.”

That said, I’ll return it to her next time. It’s a waste of time to throw it away.

“By the way, what’s with the black case that Erza brought?”

” This is a sniper rifle.”

“Sniper rifle?”

Musketeers are basically divided into a vanguard position and a rearguard position. The rearguard position is chosen by those with little physical ability. Some willingly choose the rearguard, but they are probably in the minority. In any case, the sniper rifle is a weapon often used by the rearguard position.

Why will Instructor Miya use a sniper rifle? The instructor is a vanguard who fights with bayonets.

“This sniper rifle is a gift from me to you, Theo-kun.”

“…Eh?”

“Actually, I was going to give it to you a little later, but since Theo-kun seemed to be strong enough to take down Galesciano, I thought it would be better to give it to you sooner than later.”

“So this is what you meant by a little more freedom?”

“Yes. I’ll leave it up to Theo-kun to decide what you wanted to do in the end, but my recommendation is to return as a sniper at this point.”

…… so that’s what it was.

But the instructor continued her words in a way that I didn’t see coming.

“Theo-kun, you said that you wanted to make a full comeback to being a vanguard musketeer, but that’s supposed to mean you’re going to be a swordsman again, right?

“Yes, of course.”

“Then how are you going to spend your time from now? Just keep working out steadily? ”

The instructor looked at me with concern.

“I don’t think it’s a bad thing to continue to train diligently. But you should also focus on keeping your battle instincts.”

“By battle instincts, does that mean… real battle, right?”

“That’s right. Training is not enough to keep the battle instincts. If you really want to return as a swordsman, you should first return as a rearguard sniper. From there, rehabilitate yourself to return to the vanguard, step by step, while trying to keep your battle instinct active.”

“I’m a curious instructor. You, who said who wanted me to stay within your jurisdiction, decided to give me that permission? If I’d return into the battlefield as a sniper, I’d be taking on a regular assignment, wouldn’t I?”

“I know ─ I know what you wanted to say. That’s why I planned to give you permission after you’ve reached a certain level of strength, Theo-kun. I thought it would be some time before I gave you that permission, but you are not weak as I thought you would be. You’ve beaten Galesciano, which means you’re fully capable of being a sniper. So I’m giving you now a little bit of freedom.”

“I see.”

The instructor’s idea made sense to me. She was being overprotective, but she’d worked out a scenario that would lead me to a proper and complete recovery. Thank goodness. Then there’s no choice for me but to accept.

I’m a swordsman, but a temporary return to sniper – not that I don’t want to, but it’s a good idea. It’s true that if I only focus on training, I can’t develop a sense for real combat.

I have decided to do everything I can to annihilate the demons and, above all, to get rid of the instructor’s guilt. In order to do so, I am determined to do everything I can to get my old self back.

“I understand, instructor. I’ll try being a sniper first.”

“Yes, you should. I know Theo-kun will be fine. –Then I’ll officially present you this.”

The instructor opened a black case. Inside was a brand new, jet-black sniper rifle.

“This is… the latest model, isn’t it?”

“Really? I don’t know much about sniper rifles, so I left the selection up to Erza.”

There was also a set of ammunition boxes with silver bullets as a countermeasure against the demons.

“Thank you for this, instructor.”

“It’s okay, it’s the least I can do.”

The instructor’s face stiffened as she said it. She’s still carrying that guilt for making me injured and also keeping me away from the front lines as much as possible.

So I have to start with this sniper rifle and move step by step.

With that in mind, I grabbed the sniper rifle and vowed to fight.
