Chapter 8 - Reincarnation Lead
One day, when I was able to move my spiritual
power up and down, left and right, I felt a strange sensation.
It was a new sensation, neither like the
erosion of strange creatures or from an increase in spiritual power.
"Ehhhh (Is this the separation of ...
spirituality?)"
I was just a few moments ago moving the
spiritual power I had gathered around my tanden up and down, left and right.
It didn't mean anything, I was just practicing
to move it.
However, at the moment the highest speed I had
ever achieved, I felt a blurring of the spiritual forces that were moving as
one.
When I moved it again, I still felt that if I
reached a certain speed, the spiritual power would be divided.
In response to this phenomenon, I intuitively
understood what had happened.
Maybe because it's literally happening inside
my body.
I knew that the spiritual power, something that
constituted it, was separated by a difference in density.
Just as blood is composed of plasma and blood
cells, spiritual power can actually be classified into something of a
microscopic level.
If it is the same as blood, it is an unknown
substance that corresponds to blood cells ... tentatively named Reigen. By
moving it quickly, this was separated from the substance that corresponds to
plasma.
And what does this mean?
I did it because I can, but I have no use for a
tiny bit of separated spiritual elements at the moment. Moreover, this Reigen,
even when I stop moving the spiritual power, stays in the tanden.
Huh, I don't know what to do with this.
"Ahhhhhh! (Hey, did my spiritual power go
down?!)"
The spiritual power in my body decreased
dramatically due to the removal of the Reigen.
The sensation of a drop in vitality, something
I have never felt before, is inexplicably disheartening.
Maybe I've committed a terrible sin.
Such anxiety comes over me.
"Oh my goodness, what's wrong Saint. Did
you see something scary?"
Mother picks me up and soothes me.
But that doesn't make my anxiety go away.
For the first time, my body felt an uncontrollable fear, and I had no way to stop the tears from spilling out.
Eventually, I was so tired of crying that I
fell asleep before I knew it.
"You, during the day, Saint seemed to have
seen something scary and was crying. Are there any ghosts in the ward?"
"There is nothing wrong with the wards. It
is working properly and was created by powerful ancestors long ago. They are
much more powerful than mine."
"So ... then I must be wrong about this
..."
When I woke up, I found that my father, a rare
occurrence for me, had come home.
Before I knew it, it was nighttime, and the
light from the lanterns faintly illuminated the bedroom.
"You're awake, Saint. Your father is home.
It's going to be all right now."
"Hmm ... I don't feel any impurity at all
... It must be my imagination. Or I'm looking at it wrong. No need to
worry."
You have no right to worry about me.
You almost murdered me, you know, over there.
No, I don't even know if you die in the ritual.
At least I had a good night's sleep and was
free of that uneasy feeling. No more crying..., or rather, my spiritual energy
is back to normal.
Huh? The separated Reigen remains in the tanden
as it is.
Then where on earth did this spiritual power
come from? Did I crunch another mysterious creature in my sleep?
No, this amount is not an overnight increase.
Then, this phenomenon can be seen as a result
of...
While I was thinking, my parents were still
talking.
"So, it's possible that it's not a yokai,
but a disease…"
"You worry too much. I have heard from
Shiraishi-dono that babies are startled by the slightest thing and begin to
cry."
"I'm so anxious and worried."
Then the mother beside the shitty father said
so.
Oh, wait, aren't you starting to use me as an
excuse to make out?
No kidding, the baby is watching. In a place
like this, eh, wow, kissing is so erotic.(T/N – Didnt expect this…)
I stopped thinking that night because the scene
was so stimulating.
The only thing I understood is that in the not too distant future I will have a little brother or sister.
----
I can't get the shocking scene from the other
day out of my head.
It was so much more graphic than the porn I was
treated to in a previous life, but now is not the time to be thinking about
that.
"Ah (After all, it's back to normal. It's
about the same spiritual power as before taking out the Reigen)"
It is a feeling, hence it is a piece of cake.*
Still, who knows if the diminished spiritual
power will be restored to its original state.
Based on this occurrence, I think that even if
the spiritual power is reduced, it will be restored after a night's sleep.
In game-like terms, the maximum MP increases by
absorbing mysterious creatures, MP is consumed by taking out the spiritual
element, and MP is fully restored after a night's sleep at an inn.(T/N – MP –
magic points or mana points)
Something like that, huh?
In reality, there is no such thing as a full
recovery, so I would say that a good night's rest will help you recover enough
to do so. I am afraid that when I get older, I may not recover fully after a
night's sleep.
In fact, that was the norm in my previous life.
I'd almost forgotten about it because I'd taken
for granted the daily routine of being a baby and making a full recovery every
day.
If it comes to that.
"Ahh (Shouldn't I collect this spirit
element while I am still young?)"
It's a spiritual power I have no use for
anyway.
It would be better to convert it to a spiritual
element that I might find a use for someday than to just keep it in my
possesion.
Besides, I am a shadow game lover*, and I have
a tendency to think that the overflowing stamina from my previous life is a
waste of resources.
And this makes the absorption of mysterious
creatures even more vital.
Needless to say, though, this means that
increasing maximum spiritual power is of tremendous importance. If one has more
maximum spiritual power, he/she will be able to use more powerful onmyojutsu.(T/N
– Onmyojutsu in this context means Onmyojo techniques)
And what's more, it's strange that adults don't
have this important training. At least I've never seen a fucking father absorb
a mysterious creature. The wonder creatures never appear or seem to see the
adults in the first place.
The answer I derived from this is that the
means to increase maximum spiritual power can only be used now, in the time of
infancy.
"Ahhhhhh (A means of rapid growth for a
limited period of time. This has to be earned while it lasts)"
I know very well from previous life experiences
how important it is to work hard while you are young.
If you struggle now, it will definitely help
you in the future.
Then there is no other way but to do it.
And I would actively incorporate the mysterious
creatures based on my hypothetical theory on top of theoretical assumptions.

it as Spiritual element?
