Conclusion: Spirit Power Tank State

"Who are you calling a spirit power tank?!"

As for Chitose, who only has an excessive amount of spirit power, she is currently organizing her thoughts about herself and this city at a park on a hill overlooking the unfamiliar land she manifested in—"Tengu City."

A few days have passed since then, and having (I think) mostly sorted out my current situation, I was taking a break sitting on a railing on the hill—while eating a hamburger.

Even if the world changes, the deliciousness of hamburgers doesn't! Chitose thinks this is a really good thing.

By the way, where does everyone like their hamburgers from? I'm a Mo〇burger guy! ...But for fries, it's Ma〇c's. I like the thin ones, you see.

...Huh? You're asking where I got the money to buy the hamburger? I never said I bought it. But that doesn't mean I stole it either, okay?

Since then, I've been using 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉 to get a better grasp of my powers, and I realized it has a surprisingly wide range of uses.

First, the powers I can currently use can be broadly divided into "three" categories. The Instant Movement ( Teleport ) from before falls into this too.

And furthermore, I discovered that there are other hidden powers as well.... It seems I can't use them right now, though.

How should I put it... A limiter? Something like that? I don't really get it, but it seems like there are powers in a state where they're currently unusable. I don't know the release conditions, though.

Well, the powers I have now are more than enough, so I'm not complaining. There must be some reason for it, and in the end, things will work out as they should, so I'll try not to worry about it too much. I'd be in trouble if my original powers awakened just because I got greedy.

I'll say it again—I have no intention of using my original powers because they're way too outrageous. This is important.

This is important.

But still..."Angel," huh...

I wonder if there's some meaning behind a Spirit's weapon being called an Angel? Spirits and Angels feel like they're different races... I don't know much about that area so I'm not sure.

Anyway, let me explain about my 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉!

...Well, it's not like I can explain it with enough confidence to boast about it though.

〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉

In terms of shape... simply put, it's a bracelet.

Appearance-wise, it's dyed the same deep green color as my current hair color... uh... geometric patterns? That kind of thing is carved into the bracelet.

Texture-wise, it feels metallic. But it's light enough that I don't feel much weight. To put it simply, it's as light as a feather.

I wear this bracelet around my left wrist area, but since it fits almost perfectly to my wrist size, it doesn't seem like it'll come off unless I make the 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉 itself disappear. If this were around my neck, I'd feel like I became a slave.

"Master~♪ ...Nah."

Thinking about slavery, I tried saying something like that as a test... but regardless of my voice, there's just something weird about me saying it. I should stop thinking about it.

By the way, last time I summoned it, it was hidden under my clothes so I didn't notice it. Well, thanks to that, that pervert group... maybe I should think of some name for them soon? It's probably not good to keep calling them that.

Mainly because if I accidentally said it in front of someone, it would be bad. If that white-haired girl heard it... I'd seriously get my life hunted. Gasp.

Shaking and trembling... for now, I'll name them "A" "S" "D" for "That" "Group," yeah (Chitose-san Near Pin Award).

I don't think that ASD noticed the Angel's true identity either, so all's well that ends well.

Now, about this completely non-offensive bracelet-type Angel - only when I'm wearing it can I use the following three powers.

First, Spacetime Transfer Ability (I tried saying "teleportation" in a cooler way).

This is the power I used last time. Simply put, it's the ability to "instantly teleport to places within my field of vision." And it ignores time and space too.

I think I already talked about this before, so I'll just report what I tried to confirm with it.

First, I tried the usage method I learned when I first manifested the Angel.

As expected, I couldn't go to places that don't exist in reality like inside manga~ or the world of anime~. Well, that's obvious.

Ah, it's not like I was disappointed or anything? I totally wasn't depressed or anything!?

...Sorry, I lied. I was pretty期待していた. And I was pretty depressed.

"...Ah, remembering it brings tears..."

Dammit, going to the world of anime is a romance that any guy dreams of... well, I'm a girl now though.

Sigh, let's get back on topic. Anyway next, I was able to teleport to places shown in photographs.

Over these past few days—or rather, in one day. I went sightseeing to various countries.

America, England, France, Germany... I looked at photos of various places, teleported, and went sightseeing.

In my previous life, I never went to foreign countries, so it was quite a good experience. I really felt the cultural differences firsthand.

—No matter where I went, I couldn't understand the language though!

I had no idea what they were talking about! Seriously... are we really the same Earthlings? The conversation didn't work out at a level where I couldn't believe we were the same living beings just because the language was different. Chitose-san thinks Japanese should be the world's common language. Japanese is great.

And so, since I couldn't communicate with foreigners anyway, I just went on a gourmet tour locally and came back.

Forgive me... I went there but didn't have any particular purpose, so I didn't know what to do. Given that, it's only natural that eating was the only thing I could think of. Plus, I'm not the type to sightsee valuable buildings anyway.

Also, it's true that I was somewhat curious about the taste of each country's traditional dishes, so I think this was the right choice. Even if I bought souvenirs, I don't have a house to put them in.

...What? My thoughts on the gourmet tour? Ah... well, it's like this.

I fully enjoyed the authentic local flavors. But... well. I really felt that the food we eat in Japan has its seasoning adjusted to Japanese tastes.

Even if it was the same dish, locally it was either too bland, had extreme seasoning, or in the worst cases, there were dangerous things that completely ignored health concerns...

Yeah, that's it. I no longer feel the need to leave Japan.

Second, Object Manifestation Ability (I tried saying it in a cool-sounding way again).

The condition for this power is the same as the first one - things within my field of vision are the target. The difference is the effect.

Simply put—it's "the power to summon things within my field of vision to my hand." Since I have the chance, let me actually try using it now.

For example, if I capture a plastic bag flying in the wind in front of me within my field of vision—

—instantly, the flying plastic bag appears in my hand. I put the wrapper from the hamburger I finished eating inside.

For example, if I capture the hamburger listed in the M〇s Burger advertisement I'm holding in my hand within my field of vision—

—instantly, the same thing appears in my hand. Since there's no wrapper, my hand got dirty with sauce.

For example, if I capture the wig of a middle-aged salaryman walking below me within my field of vision—

—instantly, the same thing appears in my hand. It's dirty so I throw it away.

...And so, no matter how far away it is, or even if it's something in a photograph, I can summon it to me across space and distance! Amazing, 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉! Thanks to this ability, I can get whatever I want without needing money!

It's truly the perfect ability for living a lazy yet fulfilling life with ease! Thank you, God! And my Angel is truly an angel! I seriously love it!

—Phew. But I can't just summon anything. After all, I couldn't summon things like fictional weapons.

Once again, my manly romance was shattered... my expectation that I might be able to use legendary weapons from anime and such didn't come true.

Well, compared to teleportation, as long as it exists in reality, it worked even from illustrations and such, so it's still better...

—Somehow, I feel like I've been hearing a man's anguished voice from below since earlier... eh? My fault? I know.

Third, Target Transfer Ability (somehow it's starting to sound similar to the first one).

This is almost the same as the first Spacetime Transfer Ability. The difference is the target and range.

This power seems to allow me to forcibly transfer others—or rather, other living beings, not myself.

For example, if I capture a pigeon resting its wings on the handrail I'm sitting on within my field of vision—

—instantly, it appears on that salaryman's head from earlier. As the surprised pigeon flaps its wings, his thin hair gets tangled and falls out.

—And so, it seems I can move living beings within my field of vision to another place also within my field of vision.

However, I can move locations but apparently can't move through time.

To begin with, even by myself, I can't go back that far in time transfer. At most, I think about ten years ago is the limit... eh? That's plenty far back? I know.

Well anyway, there's currently no need to go back to the past, so it's fine. For now, my Angel knowledge says that's about as far as I can go back.

As for that time transfer, it seems impossible to send others.

This isn't a matter of spiritual power or anything, but rather the 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉 becomes important.

To put it simply, for time transfer, it seems you need to possess the 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉.

The 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉 is like a pass. The prerequisite for time transfer is that the transfer target possesses the 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉, so naturally, no one but me can perform time transfer.

Well, even if I could, transferring multiple people at once would probably use too much spiritual power.

Anyway, that's about it.

But still... I understand the abilities, but somehow... saying "~ ability" every time I use them lacks impact, doesn't it?

So with that! I decided to give names to these three!

After all, if you're a guy, you want to shout technique names when using powers, right!? Something like "I awaken as the embodiment of chuunibyou—!"?

While there are cases where people get so into their chuunibyou that it becomes a black history and source of shame later... I'm different.

Let me say it—

—What is there to be ashamed of when showing off your magnificent self!!

With your own soul and pride, what's wrong with exposing your burning, boiling desires!? From my perspective, showing a pathetic, hesitant, embarrassed appearance is unbearable!! That's not being a man!! That's just being weak!!

So with that, it's name creation t~ime!!

Hmm~... anyway, rather than long phrases, it's more impactful to just go with a word, right? About one or two characters.

Should I start with 〈 Heart-Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉? If so... then supplement with a word afterward. Something like "So-and-so style, such-and-such!"?

Hmm...

And after several minutes of implementation, after thinking about it, this is what I came up with.

First ability: 〈 Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉—【Drive】

Second ability: 〈 Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉—【Manifest】

Third ability: 〈 Eroding Mausoleum ( Iroueru ) 〉—【Control】

For now, this should be fine. Yeah! Chitose is satisfied!

Well, it's still unfinished though? I haven't added ruby text. For now, it's just like this.

So with that, I gained new powers (names).

...But still, well.

—This really has no physical attack methods, doesn't it?

Anyway, having finished eating the second hamburger, this is Chitose with a full stomach.

Since becoming a Spirit, perhaps because I have too much free time, I've developed quite an appetite. Well, since I don't get fat, I can let loose.

Actually, you know what? It seems Spirits are always maintained in peak condition.

My body doesn't get dirty, I don't get hungry, and I probably don't age either. I can keep being lazy without starving to death. How happy is that!? "I am a happy Spirit"—or something like that?

Anyway, God, thank you for making me a Spirit (popopopoon).

...Well, even so, I was originally human. Emotionally, if I don't eat meals or bathe, I feel uncomfortable, or rather, emotionally unsettled.

It's not like I'll face situations where I'm troubled for money now anyway. So I do eat meals and bathe.

—So with that, I use 【Manifest】 on an advertisement showing someone grabbing 500-yen coins to immediately get money in my hand. I took out about ten coins, so around 5000 yen? Well, that should be enough.

I put that money into the wallet in my shoulder bag that I prepared over these past few days and set off!

My destination is—the public bath!

After all, I'm Japanese, so I have to experience the blissful time of soaking in a bath, otherwise it would be a waste. ...Well, there were a few moments where I hesitated though.

Because, you know? Since I became a girl, I have to enter the women's bath, right? As someone who was originally male, it's impossible not to feel conflicted. I was a healthy high school boy, you know? It's impossible not to be curious!

But... well, to give you the result, that was only at first, and afterward I naturally stopped caring.

At first, since I was originally male, I had expectations (I won't say of what) but... when I actually entered, it was different from what I imagined.

To be clear—I didn't feel anything special.

That male-specific excitement didn't well up. No matter how many women I saw in the women's bath, I remained completely calm throughout. And in the end, Chitose-san finished bathing without any incidents.

Strange... was my sense of romance this numb? Admittedly, in my previous life, I never had that kind of experience even once... but still, I can't help but feel something is wrong with this. I mean, I saw female naked bodies and remained calm? Even as a former general male, what's up with that?

Could it be some side effect of becoming female? It's not like it's particularly troubling... but I don't feel satisfied.

On top of that, I bathed without feeling any discomfort with my own appearance either. This is also strange.

I was able to handle all the bathing routines without conscious effort. My body moved naturally, and the fact that I could do it as if it were completely normal gave me a slight chill. It felt a bit like horror, as if I was never originally male. My face apparently turned pale enough that a woman who happened to pass by pointed out that "your complexion looks bad." Of course, I couldn't tell her the reason.

Anyway, I'd say I've gotten used to this female body over these past few days. Both externally and internally.

As for me... I think I've undoubtedly lost something important as a male. For a while, Chitose-san was crushed by this fact...

...Eh? Humans should know when to give up? I know. But I'm still indecisive.

—Splaaaaaaaaaash

"What's with this?"

On my way to the public bath I go to every day, it suddenly started raining.

Hey hey, what kind of joke is this? It was clear until just now even though there were rain clouds... huh? Rain clouds? Then there's no problem?

But still, since it started suddenly... I don't have an umbrella, so I'm continuing to get drenched in the rain.

Well, with this outfit—my Astral Dress—there's no problem!

My Astral Dress—〈 Divine Authority Astral Dress・Final Number ( Masak Mavdil ) 〉's basic appearance is that modified military uniform.

However, I realized that by removing the defensive functions related to combat aspects, I can freely change its shape! Therefore, I've currently transformed into a hoodie and pants outfit that looks like "The・Casual Clothes."

While it looks nothing like an Astral Dress, I'm wearing a genuine Astral Dress. For now, I'll call this casual clothes form "Pseudo Astral Dress."

...Eh? What about last time's clothes? Those were made with spiritual power, but they were actually just regular clothes. They weren't an Astral Dress.

More importantly, they consumed spiritual power so the efficiency was bad, and they probably emitted spiritual power reactions like crazy, so the disadvantages outweighed the benefits.

By the way, this Pseudo Astral Dress, while its durability is no different from regular clothes, however! This Pseudo Astral Dress can maintain a spiritual power membrane that repels interference from the surroundings!

It naturally repels rain so I don't get wet, and it provides ironclad protection from dirt in the air too! This means no laundry needed and maximum cleanliness!!

Wow, this is really incredibly convenient. I don't need to change clothes either.

I have something I want to say to such a high-performance Pseudo Astral Dress-sama!! Please listen!! To my feelings—!!

—At this point, don't I not need any clothes other than Astral Dress-san?

"..."

"..."

Since then, I've been walking leisurely through the rain while fully utilizing the Pseudo Astral Dress's performance.

And the bunny-eared girl who somehow ended up walking beside me... who could she be?

"Fue..."

"Sorry, I was joking, please don't cry or my heart will crack."

The girl beside me reacted as if she sensed something, and when she turned to look at me, her face quickly became tearful.

Once that happens, you know what to do, right? —Apologize with all your might.

Ah, but if I apologize too deeply, the timid her might overthink it, so I should apologize with appropriate moderation! Chitose-san's one-point advice.

—Here's one thing. I like children.

It's not about being a lolicon or shotacon or anything like that. Absolutely not. I'm not that kind of pervert who feels such impure desires. Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

...Ahem. In my previous life, I had twin younger brother and sister, but perhaps because our parents were busy with work, they rarely came home. So instead of our parents, I decided to take care of the two of them when I was about 5 years old.

It was tough at first, but watching the two of them grow up made me as happy as if it were my own achievement. Because of that background, I came to enjoy watching children grow.

………………

It seems like I died but... are those two doing well? If I have any regrets from my previous life, that would be the only one.

It's not about being a siscon or brocon or anything like that. Absolutely not. I'm not that kind of pervert who feels such impure desires. Absolutely not.

Absolutely not.

Too persistent? I know.

Keeping this in mind, let's continue the story.

First, I met her on my way to the public bath earlier.—It happened suddenly.

In the rain, I was getting a little excited seeing how water wasn't soaking into my clothes at all—or rather, how they were repelling water like a raincoat. Thinking back now, I don't know why I was so excited about that.

Anyway. I was in a good mood and heading to the public bath with light steps.

—With backsteps.

Somehow, seeing the scenery gradually moving away was an unfamiliar sight, so I was feeling somewhat fresh and playful. Everyone feels some excitement toward fresh experiences!!

In other words, since I was walking (stepping) while facing backward... it was almost inevitable that I would bump into someone.

—Though falling from the sky was quite unexpected.

I think the line "Boss! A girl fell from the sky!" would have perfectly matched the situation. But I think when actually encountering that scene, the most I could say in the moment would be "Pare—" or something.

I mean, in that case, there was a flo〇ting stone so they could make that joke with composure, right? This time it was free fall, and there was no composure whatsoever. It can't be helped that I couldn't say it, right?

...Eh? You never intended it as a joke to begin with? I know.

So with that, I don't know the circumstances, but the one who suddenly fell from above right onto me is this girl beside me— Yoshino-chan.

To describe this girl's character simply... she's a really good kid.

She's an extremely good kid. After the fall, when Yoshino-chan realized she had landed on top of me, she apologized while being nervous. She reminds me of my sister somehow...

Please enjoy the scene of our first conversation with such a girl.

—or so I thought, but that's for next time.

Anyway, I'll be heading to the public bath while holding Yoshino's left hand.
