Level 1 Strongest Sage ~

Book 10: Chapter 43: Welcome to Isekai!

How dangerous.

That was close, thank goodness I made it on time.

Shes my wife, so please dont kill her.

I called out to the girl who was about to slash Sitris head off with the huge, black sword she was holding.

Are you the person of the statue?

Hm? Statue?

I couldnt make heads or tails of what she was saying, but I just kept the convo rolling.

Im Halt. Halt Ernol. YoureAkari, right?

Eh!? H-How did you know!?

Of course I knew.

It had been 10 years, but she still looked the same.

You know someone called Saijou Haruto, right?

Y-Yes, I know him.

Thats me.

...What?

Im Saijou Haruto. I transmigrated to this world, so Im Halt now.

......

E-Eh?

Thats oddAkari froze.

O~y, Akari? Akari-san?

N-No way, did I make a mistake?

I was pretty sure Akari is Saijou Akari, my little sis

Was I mistaken?

No. No way thats true.

10 years might have passed, but I wouldnt mistake Akari for anybody else.

W-Wait, did she forget me!?

.................

.................

Eh, thats quite a shock.

Akari was only 5 years old when I died, but before that I had been the one constantly taking care of her in place of my busy parents.

Akari was also extremely attached to me.

Always calling me Haru-Nii

A-Are you Haru-Nii?

!! T-Thats right! Thats right.

Really?

Yeah. Its true! Theres a towel that Akari really loved. Akari always

Aaaarghhh!! Dont say that!

She scolded me a bit.

S-Sorry. But you know now that Im really Haruto, right?

YupBut, its amazing how Haru-Nii knew it was me.

Of course I know. Im Akaris Nii-san, after all.

Well, thats also because Akaris appearance didnt change that much even after coming to this world.

So maybe its not transmigration?

Id been thinking about it, when

Haru-Nii!!

Ugh!

Akari jumped at me and hugged me with an outrageous amount of force. The floor of the dungeon was gouged out, leaving a huge, gaping hole.

T-this force If it was someone other than me, it wouldnt be odd for that person to be obliterated on the spot.

It was a Tackle, and with that speed, to boot.

Killed after being hugged by your younger sister when you reunited with her after 10 years thats not even funny, seriously.

Thanks, Evil God-sama!

At any rate, I decided to instill awareness of her own strength to Akari.

I see. So Akari is also a transmigrator.

Yup. Ah, but Megami-sama made my appearance almost the same as it was in our previous world.

I explained the situation to Sitri, and she went back first to the mansion.

I took Akari with me to a place a little farther away from the magical academy, and we took our time walking to the mansion while talking.

I see Then that means you were as big as you are now when you were there. Youve grown up, Akari,

Ehehe. Its been 10 years already, after all.

Yeah. 10 years, huh.

...Hey, Haru-Nii.

Hm?

That woman earlier. Shes Haru-Niis wife, isnt she?

Yeah. Her name is Sitri.

A-Are you living together?

Yup. Im the third son of an influential noble in this world. Thats why I got my own mansion built within the magical academys premises, and were living there. Are you familiar with the Ifrus Academy of Magic?

Yeah, I know that! I went there to play before. I met Sitri there.

Heh. So you also went to the academy, huh.

Eh?

Were outsiders allowed in our school?

Yup. The woman who was with Sitri back then agreed to trade her bread with me. She was also gorgeous!

With Sitri? What was she like? Er, like, whats her hair color, or something.

It was a beautiful azure hue.

Ahh. So Luna, huh.

Is she someone you know too?

Yeah. Shes the second friend I made at the academy of magic.

Really!? Then, can I see her again? I want to thank her for the bread, and I want to be friends with her! I dont know why but she has this familiar air with her.

Did Akari sense that Luna came from the same world as us?

I also wanted them to get along with each other.

Youll meet her. Shes also at the place we're going to.

Eh?

Akari can teleport, right? What countries did you visit aside from Glendale and Vestier?

Ah. Hmm. I also went to the Elf Kingdom of Alheim. And the country I landed on was a kingdom called Apristos. I made my guild card there!

Heh. Apristos, is it?

That place apparently stopped waging wars on its neighboring kingdoms ever since they waged war against Alheim

Would it be alright?

A person named Eliza helped me a lot when I was there. Ah, it also seems Haru-Nii is being worshiped there!!

...What?

Haru-Nii stopped the war with Alheim, right? Thats a certified transmigrator for you. So, Apristos established Halteism, a cult worshiping Haru-Nii.

Eh, are you serious?

Yeah, yeah! A super huge statue of Haru-Nii stood smack center in the royal capital. You didnt know, Haru-Nii?

Y-Yup. I had no idea.

What the heck?

Didnt even think Id have a statue in Apristos.

Well, its already there, so it couldnt be helped, I guess.

MIght as well be more proud of myself, then.

By the way, its already the second time I came to this world.

Eh!? H-How did that happen!?

First time was when I came here to defeat the Demon King. After that, I returned to our previous world, only to be killed by the Evil God immediately after, so now Im here.

...Seriously?

Yup.

Sorry. I-Im sorry. But, anyway, let me say thisHaru-Nii, its okay.

Yeah. Thanks.

So, did something happen when you saved the world the first time around?

Like statue?

Yup!

There is.

There is!?

Theres a town called Gareth in the kingdom of Riggorln, and theyre making stone statues of me. Oh, and there are also a lot of books left with my previous worlds face printed on them.

Haru-Nii, youre living your Isekai life to the fullest, huh.

Yeah, now. Theres no demon king so the worlds at peace, after all.

It had been quite hard back when I was still the Guardian Hero, with days spent risking my life. Then, I almost died right after being teleported

No, Sitri is the Demon King, right!?

Former Demon King. I already obliterated her demon kings power, so shes now an ordinary woman who could tamper with souls.

Obliterating the demon kings power Ah, is that it? Haru-Nii, are you a Kami-sama of this world?

No way.

Ahaha.

Akari, what nonsense are you saying?

Theres no way Im a deity, right.

So, hows Alheim? Yggdrasils really huge, right?

Yup! It was amazing!!

Im friends with Yggdrasils personification, a spirit named Sylph. Lets climb the summit together next time.

I also wanted Akari to experience Sylphs special elevator for herself.

EhAh, y-yup. Ill climb.

Yeah, as for the Elf race, there are a lot of gorgeous men and women, right?

Yup, yup! I also met a stunning Elf named Leaffa, and she helped me.

Ooh, you also met Leaffa, huh.

...Haru-Nii, I wonder if...

Yeah, Leaffa and I are also close. Shes also at the academy of magic were heading to.

So Leaffa is also in the academy, huh.

Yeah, and you also met Tina, right?

Ah, the black-haired beauty! I met her at the H&T Corporation, and she bought the items I made.

Shes our teacher at the academy, and she teaches magic to Luna, Leaffa and me.

Then, does that mean you heard about me from Ms. Tina?

Yes! She told me a girl just brought some cool items like that. Akari, you made this, right?

I showed the brooch I got from Tina.

Oh, this one! Yup, Im the one who made that. Look, Haru-Nii. Create Arms!

Akari suddenly made a black sword in front of me.

I sensed a tremendous amount of power.

If my status wasnt fixed, then if I still had the same status as when I was the Guardian Hero I had probably been halved when I tried to protect Sitri.

Haru-Nii broke mine, but look, this is pretty strong.

Yeah, thats right.

Youre absolutely right.

Akari, wait a sec.

What?

Thats a pretty terrible weapon you have there. Thats why you shouldnt make it recklessly, alright?

Eh, really?

Really.

If Haru-Nii says so, then so be it!

Thanks, Akari.

Akari listened to my advice obediently, so I patted her on the head.

Ehehe.

Her happy reaction was still the same as it was in the past. Truly adorable.

After that, I helped Akari register her mana using the magical tool I got from Headmaster Luarno, then we entered the academy of magic together.

As expected, I have to register first.

Well, Ill go with you later to apologize to the headmaster for trespassing.

Sorry, Haru-Nii.

Its fine. Oh, look, we can see my mansion now.

EhI-Is that your house, Haru-Nii!?

Huge, isnt it?

Well, it became a bit cramped recently since my family became bigger.

Its way too huge!! Youre living alone with Sitri in this huge house!?

Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, thats right, I guess.

HmMaybe I should just tell her.

ErHey, Akari.

What?

Your Onii-chans wife isnt just one.

....What?

This place is Isekai, right? Thatsyou see right?

Eh, d-dont tell me

Aside from Sitri, theres Tina, Luna and Leaffa that you met before.

You have FOUR wives!?

Nope. Fourteen in total.

Eh.

By the way, I also have a Divine Beast for a pet, and two of my classmates also stay there with their wives. So, 19 people and 1 beast live in this mansion.

Your harem is wayyyyy too ugh!! Just how on earth did this happen!?

Thats, how to put thiswell it just happened?

Just happened!? You let things happen, but thats way too many wives for crying out loud!!... Eh? Ah, but wait. You have 14 wives already, so one more wouldnt matter now, right?

Hm?

Okay! Haru-Nii, I have a question for you!!

Yes, Akari-san. What might it be?

Is there a slot open for a sister-type wife?
