Reincarned with a deities Harem (Tome 1)

Confessions with Genbu

He turned and I thought my heart would break into a thousand pieces.
Genbu had tears in his eyes and seemed so desperate.

“All this time, we waited patiently but nothing. After fifty years without a sign, we started to think that you really hated us and after a hundred years Byakko had almost gone mad. He  started to kill every human that crossed our path.  Then Suzaku decided to get down to it, he hated humans and only wanted one thing to destroy them, distorting his reason for being which is compassion... for them if all humans disappeared you would perhaps be satisfied and come back... They wanted to believe it... that's why Seiryu said that they were the two who would be an obstacle to the fact that you wanted to be around male humans for your plan... even if I don't like them looking at you with envy, even less that they touch you, you are ours... Anyway, we tried to calm them down but it was hypocritical of us because we felt the same way as them. I too had let myself be devoured by this hatred and I had caused the massacre in an entire city by cursing their water which gave them all sorts of diseases, each one as deadly as the other."

  I sat between Genbu's thighs and rested my back against his chest, the latter wrapping his arms around me as my small figure was swallowed by his large stature.
He folded his legs, crossing them to give me a cozy place. He made a book fly towards them and gave it to me. I opened it directly.

“Seiryu decided to live in bodies devoid of the ability to remain, that is to say that he possessed these bodies for a fixed duration. He was no longer going to infuse them with his aura so that they would last like his astral body...it was actually to protect himself. If he remained in astral form then he might not feel the centuries passing too much…”

I raised my hand and gently caressed Genbu's cheek, the latter closing his eyes to enjoy it.

“For centuries, we have missed you so much Mylène... we ask you for forgiveness for what happened four hundred years ago. Even if today, we will do it again especially with your appearance and what binds us now... you are ours Mylène, we do not want and cannot share you with any human male.”

“You are the only ones I want and my body has never reacted to anyone but you... these men that I want to use do not have any effect on me... Genbu tell me what happened centuries ago?”

“Mylène... during all the times you were reincarnated, you were a male and it always ended in suicide because of the greed of humans... deaths that always resulted when these wretches heard about your existence... these dirty sons of shit... yet they are the ones who killed you to have your powers... and the worst is that these nobodies dare to invent an idiotic story about the possessors of light magic... you do not appear every century and there can only be one holder of this power per appearance because you are unique... I had to annihilate a sect thirty years ago because a mage had proclaimed himself the holder of light magic just because his mastery of magic was quite considerable... the kingdoms began to celebrate him. When we heard that, we were surprised because we had not felt anything at all... mad with anger, I drowned them all in poison, they deserved it these miscreants.”

I swallowed... damn, thank goodness I was the true holder of this power otherwise I didn't know what would have happened to me... but when I thought about it, if they could sense me, why didn't they come for the other Mylène?

“Listen, before we continue, I want to tell you something you should know...”

“I'm all ears.”

“Nearly twenty years ago, Seiryu cursed my parents, or at least their descendants, so when I was conceived, my soul was taken elsewhere and another person sheltered my body for over 22 years. But surprisingly, she had discovered that she had light magic but had refused to use it until her death... why didn't she sense it?”

“Even if she had used it, it would have been just the basic use of a mage, it would have been useless to her.  Just like those who use light magic today, she wouldn't have been more different than them. This power didn't really belong to her. Know Mylène that this power is both physical and spiritual, it's a link between you and us. And as for the humans who use this magic, not having spiritual links with us, this power disappears or diminishes over time. Reason why we couldn't locate her and since it wasn't you, it was obvious that she would have been killed for usurpation... she did well to never proclaim herself heir of the light."

"I see... well you can continue why feel guilty?"

"We killed with our own hands the person you loved the last time you came to us, your wife, the mother of your son"

"What ?"
