I Was Reincarnated in a Modern Day Onmyoji Family Chapter 29: The Hidden Power of Body Strengthening

A few months have passed since Kana's little brother was born and I turned 3 years old.

So children go to preschool at the age of three, but our family seems to have an educational policy of enrolling children in kindergarten at the age of four. Well, I have been practicing Onmyojutsu and it is more convenient for to stay at ho.

Although there has been no progress in spiritual power refining, the efficiency of the first through the second refining that I have discovered so far has increased. There is not any particular reason for this, but simply thanks to the fact that I have beco accustod to it. I am now able to refine at the sa ti as I go about my daily life.

My practice of Onmyojutsu is going well, and I am now able to write beautiful letters, and I am also able to make my own "glowing and flying talismans," which my father prepared for at the beginning.

It was difficult to handle the sumi ink, but my young body was like a sponge, absorbing new things. I am now practicing the 10 different patterns needed to make the talismans.

However, things are not going well with the mysterious creatures. They started to run away from more and more.

Even when I set traps, they disappear like spiders when I approach them.

The number of creatures I catch is decreasing day by day. anwhile my tentacle-handling skills are improving in inverse proportion.

Now I can move so delicately that I can do such and such things to the princess knight.(T/N - I was waiting for him to say sothing like this)

There were many changes, but most important was my physical capabilities.

The technique I call Body Strengthening was awakened.

The Body Strengthening, which until now had been activated by intentionally manipulating spiritual power, is now always activated without any particular awareness. Yes, if I were to use an analogy, it would be a state like the breathing always-on state of Zenshu0.

A more accurate example would be the intracellular symbiosis theory of mitochondria and chloroplasts.

The theory is that mitochondria and chloroplasts, which are eukaryotic cells, were originally independent organisms, but survived through symbiosis by being incorporated into animal and plant cells.

Until now, I had been activating my cells by applying spiritual power to my entire body, but I thought it might be possible to apply my spiritual power to my cells, so I tried to insert a spiritual elent into my cells and the reaction I got was unexpected.

It remained in the cell for a long ti and did not disappear. Moreover, it had the sa effect of strengthening the body even inside the cell.

Cells should be dying every minute and every second, but the Body Strengthening has not disappeared. In other words, along with cell division, the spiritual elent is also dividing and multiplying.

It was as if I was demonstrating the intracellular symbiosis theory.

I am not sure if it is true or not because it is all based on my senses, but I know my body well. Through a process like that, the Body Strengthening was awakened.

I wonder if I can still call myself a homosapien.

I beca obsessed with Body Strengthening after trying it out on a whim and achieving great results.

I wondered if there might be so other hidden potential.

Six months passed.

I was now three years and six months old, and my body was getting stronger and stronger.

I replaced the spiritual elents that had been injected into my cells with heavy spiritual elents, and my robustness increased. My hand doesn't hurt when I hit a stone, and the tip of a needle crushed when I tried to stick it in.

I think I might have ceased to be a human being after all.

Although I was a little worried, this is the Onmyoji world where you are not even able to combat Ykai at this level.

After I started practicing Onmyojutsu, the damn father started talking to about his work.

From what he told , Ykai far exceed human's physical strength and move at an unbelievable speed.

To counter them, Onmyoji use Shikigami, and they also use talismans and rituals.

And it is the Samurai who compete with such Ykai of inhuman strength with their physical abilities.

......Onmyoji are an anachronism, I wonder who the Samurai are and where is the decree on the abolition of the sword.

The only thing I can think of is that the "Gokenke" (the family of the sword), in which my father works, is also a Samurai family.

If Onmyoji are the rear guard, the Samurai are the vanguard.

I heard that they fight against non-human enemies by sharing roles.

I wish I had been told about this earlier.

Incidentally, I heard that the Samurai family mbers use not "spiritual power" but "internal energy" to strengthen their bodies and gain superhuman strength.

Another unknown source of energy was discovered.

It was this mont I began to wonder if this world was really the Japan I used to live in.

With these new facts, I decided that it was safe for to train this Body Strengthening for real.

In addition to the traditional Samurai, I heard that a type of onmyojutsu master called a Warrior Monk has a technique similar to Body Strengthening, so I decided that it was too late to worry about becoming a non-human.

It is obvious that a professional Onmyoji should be able to deal with lee combat.

"Nunununu, Gugugugu, Nungaaaaaaa"

I didn't realize it until I was reincarnated.

I discovered that when I'm passionate about sothing, I get into it so much that it becos a little too much.

In my previous life, I had literally lost my life because I didn't know that I could have such fun.

Now I'm trying to push the limits of my physical strength.

I'm going around with spiritual power all over my body, moving my spiritual elents as well, mobilizing all the heavy spiritual elents in my cells. I always stop when I feel sothing like a wall, but this ti I want to go beyond that wall.

It is well known that human muscles are instinctively put on a limiter, as in the phrase "foolhardiness on fire".

Which ans, I bet I could exert my physical strength beyond its limits, too!

This was the concept that had roaring in my house while my family was away from ho.

The ti limit is until my mother and Yuya return from shopping.

By then, I'll sohow.....woooooooooooow!

I hate the sports club atmosphere, but I couldn't help but let out a yell of enthusiasm.

Perhaps it worked, but the Body Strengthening showed a new effect.

--- with the consequence of a phase shift to the underworld.

"Where am I?"

I had been ditating to get myself in the right fra of mind, but when I opened my eyes to a pleasant breeze caressing my cheeks, I found myself in a different world.

I was standing alone in a town with a nostalgic atmosphere and a sunset sky.

I was standing alone in a place I had no recollection of.

The bedroom I was in earlier was also dimly lit, but it would have still been bright in the late afternoon.

In the first place, there was no way I was standing outside barefoot.

Looking around carefully, I found that the place where I was standing seed to be in a cramped compound.

Behind is a shrine building enshrining sothing, and the deep shadows of the building create a strange aura.

Outside the compound are rows of one-story houses, so I guess this is a small shrine in a residential area.

It is so dimly lit that it cannot be explained simply by the fact that it is evening, and the air is filled with a sticky feeling as one breathes, creating an inexplicably unsettling atmosphere.

It's a strange situation that could be upsetting, but as soone who has experienced reincarnation once, I can't help but think that sothing like this could happen.

Because I know the reason.

"No doubt it has to do sothing with the Body Strengthening technique. I don't know how in the world it got here though."

I know the cause, but I don't know how to deal with it.

I wondered where I was, how I could get ho, and if I could do sothing before my mother and the others returned.

As I was thinking about these things and looking around, my head began to throb without warning.

"Ugh, what is this? My whole body is aching, what in the world is going on?"

Even though I have experienced severe pain from cancer, I don't think I can endure this headache.

I don't have any dicine on hand, and I don't know how to get ho, and this is too hard to endure.

As I was holding my head in pain, a voice suddenly called out to from behind.

" `>` _>"! * _*%#&? "

There was a shadow of a child in that place where there should have been no one when I looked back earlier.

The shadow does not an a trace, but the figure of the child standing there is pitch black, as if the shadow of the child had floated up,...... and it is hard to believe that it is a human being.

However, I could sense the child's characteristic poor speech.

In addition to that, the call I had just heard.

I felt a strong sense of discomfort, as if the aning of the word was forcibly etched into my brain, even though I did not know the language at all.

The streets were the sa as in the normal human world, but after encountering this child, I understood clearly that this was not a world where humans lived.
