For the fourth incarnation, he became a man of the human race.

　Naturally, he has no family because his body was created by the curse of an evil god.

　Checking the status board...

　State: curse (reincarnation: 3 reincarnations left)

　It was.

　The previous one seems to have been able to die properly.
　That's kind of weird, isn't it?

　Well, that's okay.

　One thing that bothered me a bit about the status is that for some reason, I can now read the occupation field.

　Until now, I couldn't read items other than status because they were garbled.

　My profession is a spirit user.
　It is an occupation that summons spirits and uses them.

　Why is it only this time...?
　I tried to think of many reasons for this, but I don't know.


　But since I can summon a genie, I decided to try it.

　What kind of genie will come out of it?

　Ordinary spirit users would automatically produce a magic circle for summoning just by chanting.

　But as a level 1 sage, I couldn't produce a summoning magic circle just by chanting, so I had to manipulate my own magic power and draw the magic circle myself.

　Because of that habit, this time when I became a spirit user, I used my magic power to draw a magic circle as I always did.

　Apparently, rather than using a magic circle that automatically appears due to chanting, the magic circle drawn entirely with my own magic power is able to summon stronger spirits.


　The one that appeared was a water spirit.
　As for the rank of the spirit, it's about a medium rank.

　But he(she) has the potential to reach the Spirit King level.

　How do I know that?

　That's because she is the (daughter) of the (daughter) of the (star) spirit(s) king(s).


The water spirit, my name is Mei.

　It was May who I called.
　She is the sister of the fire spirit Mai, one of my wives.

　It has been about a month since I fell under the curse of reincarnation.

　I was happy to see my wife's face for the first time in a long time.

　I look different from Hurt now, and it was hundreds of years before May had ever been summoned in the first place, hundreds of years before she met me.

　She hasn't signed a contract with anyone since she met me.

　In other words, this is May's first summoning contract.


　.........Huh?

　I've heard May tell me about her first summoning, but I think she said she had some problems... or was it my imagination?

　I was the first person to sign up for Mai, but I was the second person to sign up for May. May's first was this guy.

　But this guy is me, so May's first time is mine.

　Hmmm... I'm so happy.


"My Lord. What am I doing here?

Uh, uh...

　Oh, my God. I wasn't thinking.

　Hmmm, what am I going to do?


Can May be humanized?

It is possible.

Okay, just humanize me.

　I wanted to see the way you normally interact with me, not the spirit body.

''I'm in awe.''

　The water that had surrounded May's surroundings gathered around her and disappeared.

　When all the water converged, May appeared in the form I was used to seeing.

　The spirit body is beautiful, but I still prefer the humanized form.

''May!''
"...?

　I hadn't seen my wife in a while, and I couldn't resist.
　So I couldn't help but hug her.

"Mae, I don't want to...

　It's Hurt.

　Just as I was about to say this, a tremendous killing spirit fell on me from above.

"Keep your hands off my daughter!

　He must have thought that his beloved daughter was being attacked.

　The Star Spirit King's serious blow made the spirit user's body disappear in an instant.


　─ ─ ─ ──***──.

...I see. I see.

　I remembered May's story.

　She told me that the first time she was summoned, she was attacked by a summoner, and she's been reluctant to summon ever since.

　I also heard that the summoner had been severely punished by May's father, the Star Spirit King.

　It was more like a punishment, or rather, a complete annihilation.......

　In other words, the one who attacked her was me.

　Mei. I'm sorry that I frightened you.


　But this is the fourth time I've finished dying.

　This time I was reincarnated as a man.
　I'm in a bamboo forest somewhere.

　The only place in this world where plants like bamboo grow is in Phonost, the home of the yoko and the bellflower.

　So this is somewhere in Phonost.

　After a short walk through the bamboo forest, I saw what looked like a temple in the distance.

　I don't have anything to address, so I walk towards the temple anyway.


　Along the way, I saw spots of blood that hadn't dried up yet that had fallen to the temple.

　Is there an injured person in the temple?

　We walked a little faster to the temple.

　As we approached, we found out that the temple is quite old and has not been touched for a long time.

　There's someone hiding in the uninhabited temple, someone who is wounded.

　I'm not a status fixer now, should I run?

　I thought about that for a moment, but then I remembered that it's okay for me to die.

　I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I've been thinking about it for a while now.

　If I am killed, I am one step closer to lifting the curse of reincarnation.

　I decided to enter the temple.

　The one inside the temple was...


Kikyou?

　Yoko's mother, Kikyou, was lying on the ground, covered in blood all over.

'Hey, Kikyou!　You okay?

....

　She had a pulse, but was unconscious.

　When I examined her, I found a large cut on her stomach. From that wound, I could sense something like a curse that inhibited the release of Kikyou's magic power.

　The nine-tailed fox is a life-force demon race.
　As long as I can manage this wound, she can be saved.

　My current physical body couldn't use the heal.
　To begin with, I'm also under a curse, so I can't just use heels.

　But this phonost has a herb that can both heal the wound and lift the curse.

　And I knew how to find that herb.

You'll have to wait a bit, Kikiou. I will definitely help you, I promise.



　***


Hmm.....

　The day after Hurt found the wounded Kikyou, Kikyou woke up on the floor of the temple.

　Halt found the herb and succeeded in healing Kikyou.


"As I recall, my mistress was an adventurer...

　When she was moving near a human-inhabited area, an adventurer happened to find her and attacked her.

　As luck would have it, the adventurer was carrying a breaker weapon.

　As a nine-tailed fox, Kikyou had gained near-perfect power, but he was powerless in front of the breaker's weapon, which had special effects against demons and demonkind.

　Although he managed to escape from the adventurer, the wounds inflicted by the adventurer did not close. He lost blood, his strength was drained, and he lost consciousness after coming to this temple to risk his life.


'Oops. Did you come to your senses?
"...?

　Harto came over with some fruit.
　Naturally, Kikyou didn't know about Hurt.

'Here, can you eat it?'

　Harto breaks the fruit and offers it to Kikyou, but she refuses to take it.

　She has just been attacked by a human adventurer and nearly died.

　She didn't think to touch the food offered to her by the stranger.


　Normally she would.

"You're the one who cured the mistress?

That's right. Eat this fruit, it will restore your strength.

Well, thank you for that.

　For some reason, he felt like he could trust this man, so Kikyou took the fruit from Hurt and sipped it.

''It's ... good.''

Good. There's plenty more to go, so eat as much as you can. And you can suck a little magic out of me if you want.

What?　You. You're not going to...

Yes, I know you're a nine-tailed fox. I know you're a nine-tailed fox. I also know you've never hurt a human being before.

　Kikiou increased his vigilance, but he could not sense any will to fight from Hurt, and there was no sign of a trap, so he decided to focus on recovering his strength first.


　Then a week.

　Until Kikyou's wounds healed, Hurt continued to carry food and herbs to her.

　For Hurt, it was simply a natural act to help his wife, but Kikyou felt it was his fault.

　From the perspective of the human race, a nine-tailed fox was nothing more than a bakemono.

　This man who would do so much for such a (bakemono) of his (bakemono), Kikiou thought, must have been unconsciously attracted to him.

　I have to repay the favor that was given to me.
　But at this moment, Kikiou had nothing to give to Hurt.

　Except for one thing.
　That is...


Oh, wait a minute, Kikyou!

　Hurt was truly mesmerized by Kikyou and was unable to move.

　There was no way that Halt, who was not a status 》fixing person, could resist the fascination of Kikyou, the highest-ranked demon race.

　You'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your time.

''I can't wait. This is the only thing I can give you to repay you for saving my life.

You're not suggesting...

I'm proud to say that I'm more than just a succubus when it comes to s*xual skills to make a man happy. Well, I don't have any real experience with it.

　Harut thought the embarrassed Kikyou was cute.


''Mistress (straw), I will do my best. Please enjoy it, Tokuto.
