Level 1 Strongest Sage 1

"Saijou? …Yes, I know that Halt-sama, who came to this world 100 years ago, is the reincarnation of Haruto Saijou."

Of course, Kikyou knows that I’m a reincarnated person. But that’s not what I’m trying to say.

"Yeah, I am the reincarnation of Haruto Saijou. But the truth is, I’ve lived in this world several other times, not just as thatSaijou."

That was because of the curse of "reincarnation" placed on me by the Evil God. Even though I was reincarnated in different times and places, I’ve lived six lives in this world. I didn’t always come back as a human, so maybe I shouldn’t even call it "lives."

I’ve been Seiryuu (Blue Dragon) and a goblin too. Once, I became a beastman and fought the beastman king, who would later be known as the War God. As a human who is also a Summoner, I summoned Mei. As an elf, I protected Yggdrasil from demons.

And then, in the cycles of repeated reincarnation, when I became an ordinary human with no special abilities—

"I met you, Kikyou, 200 years ago."

"Tw-Two hundred years ago?"

"Yep. Back then, I used the name Saijou."

"N-No way…"

Looks like Kikyou figured it out.

By the way, I’ve only told Tina, Akari, and Sitri about my six reincarnations since they were with me when I went to deal a punch to the Evil God. I felt so refreshed and good after achieving that goal that I kinda forgot to share the details with everyone afterwards.

I was supposed to check with Kikyou first about that 'Youko’s father’s situation', though...@@novelbin@@

"No way… Halt-sama, you’re… you’re Saijou?"

"Yeah, that’s right."

I should show some proof.

I reached out to touch one of Kikyou’s nine tails behind her, the one with a white tip. Normally, her tails aren’t visible unless you have the Magic Eye, but with a high concentration of magic power, I can force them to manifest.

"H-Halt-sama, what are you doing!?"

Kikyou was shocked by my sudden action.

Sorry, but this is the quickest way to prove that I’m Saijou from 200 years ago.

"St-stop it, not there—hnnn!"

A sweet moan escaped from Kikyou.

My body 200 years ago was created by the Evil God’s curse, so there’s no physical evidence left from back then, so it’s impossible to go that route. The only proof I have is a memory of something ‘I’ did to Kikyou.

However, I only spent a week with her back then. She was injured by human adventurers and, since I was human too, she was pretty wary of me. We didn’t talk much, so there isn’t a lot of information I could use to prove my identity.

The only thing I could remember, which only Saijou would know, is this.

"How… How did Halt-sama know about that particular tail!?"

Kikyou desperately tried to pull her tail away. I didn’t let her go, of course.

"That’s because I’m Saijou’s reincarnation."

I’ve slept next to Kikyo a few times, but the only time I actually touched her bare skin was when I took turns sleeping with all my wives before going to take down the Evil God. Back then, I noticed that she made sure not to let me touch one particular tail… but I just assumed she didn’t want me to, so I didn’t push it.

The ‘me’ who went to the Evil God didn't know anything.

I didn’t know that Kikyo has a favorite tail. Or that when she’s embracing someone, she would bring that one tail to her mouth and gently bite it.

“Kikyo, this is the tail that feels the best, right?” “N-No, Halt-sama, you can’t!”

She might be saying no, but I’m not stopping. I already made sure there’s no one else around.

So yeah, I’m going for it ~ ──＊＊＊── For almost ten minutes, I kept teasing Kikyo’s weak spot—her tail.

She looked so cute all flustered that I couldn’t help myself. She’s probably going to be mad at me later.

But then, she did give me the green light to sleep with her earlier. Ahh, I’m really looking forward to it.

And even if she tries to back out now, I’m not taking no for an answer, okay? We’re definitely sleeping together tonight.

After all, 200 years ago, she stuck with me until her very last breath, after all.... Now, it’s my turn.

I supported Kikyo as she slumped weakly against me while these thoughts ran through my head.
