Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old

-Susanoo’s POV-

It’s been almost over 200 years since I returned to this world with this body.

Kindred….I don’t know if I can say that I’m one but not many variants live this long.

Many of the weak are defeated by their appetites and hunted by those from the “organization”.

Even the wise find no pleasure in anything other than eating and over the years, they rot in loneliness and boredom.

Those who live long are all eccentric.

Given that situation, I am lucky.

Kushinada, whom I took for as my wife in the mythical age, manifested as a variant.

Since my body became like this, I have never had the feeling of loving anyone.

However, the memory of the time we lived together gave light to those of us who only live to eat.

We have no feelings for each other. No sexual desire too.

However, we were never bored just by being with each other.

It took me decades to realize that in addition to eating, the desire to live was born.

Kushinada is a woman and even though she’s a variant, she still retained a strong physical human part.

If she mimics a human, theirs is a high chance that she’ll be eaten by our kind.

That became her weakness.

If she was to be eaten, there would be nothing for me to pass time with.

I must protect her.

Though who knew my strength would never dare touch Kushinada.

However, that logic did not apply to those who were screwed up by drugs.

They drugged and ate Kushinada while I was out fighting against the “organization”.

When I returned, Kushinada’s body was already reduced to only her head and heart, which they called “dessert”.

Of course, I killed everyone who was there.

I had lived a long time and was strong and for that reason, I was in a good position among the Japanese variants who follow “that person”.

I forbade the drugs.

However, the drugs did not disappear.

Eventually, I learned that it was humans who were distributing the drugs.

I would find them and kill them.

Is this what you call revenge?

I don’t know.

However, if someone destroys something that belongs to you, you will naturally be angry, right?
