Achilles-san pointed a finger to point in the sky between the mountains .

–I look there .

Certainly……the two shine brightly .

“I see them . This north connected pole star . ”

Angular from the horizon, a little up, is it in that area?

If I compare it with earth, here is the northern hemisphere, above the equator .

If it really means what polestar does on earth, the correct latitude can be calculate from the angle of the star .

Seeing it, the position here is around 20 degrees?

This work is hosted on mananovel.com

In Tokyo, Japan it was about 35 degrees . Naha should have been around 26 degrees .

Hmm, here is another world, the position of precession and the pole star will be different from on earth, and there’ll be no help if I think about a thing with the standards of earth……

I’ll assume in the end that we’re in the northern hemisphere . (TN: Oi oi, don’t go gestimating the angle of the stars . )

“……Travelers everywhere would see it too……”

Achilles-san mutters something looking at the binary starts that could be missed .

Apart from the binary star I open my mouth while matching my eyes with the moon .

“What are the names of the two moons?”

“Ah . The Big Splintered Moon, Soutsuki God Uraniri It’s Osuki Kami The small moon is Soutsuki Kami Uriou . Ozuki Kami . They’re called . ”

“Mm……”

Cold icy wind hits my cheeks .

“It’s cold . Did it become colder? It’s spring now, but is it the high altitude? I’ll go to my own bed . ”

Spring . Ah, I mean I’ll hear about the bath .

“Ah, let me see, where’s the bath shed?”

“I’ll show you . Come . ”

“Ah, okay . ”

The place I’m guided to is a private use bath shed made with a wooden frame connecting to the hut next to it .

When I open the door of the hut and enter, I was met with wet steam .

Tepid air escapes outside .

I, while inhaling the warm steam look into the room .

There was a large kettle there .

It’s an iron cauldron enclosed by a wooden frame with black iron fittings attached . There’s three cauldrons in all, there’s a pot that hot water was put into and the pot which large and small stones were put into in large quantities .

“Already, you may enter because it’s heated . If fire is applied to this iron pot and stone are added this way it becomes a Tandart type sauna . ”

It’s a sauna .

“Ah, there’s a sauna too?”

“With that reaction, you must know what a sauna is . By any chance, maybe you’re from Tandart?”

Of course I can’t know .

Even if there’s a bath lover in the area is tandart a thing?

“……I, don’t know . However, I know of steam baths . ”

“Umu? There’s only the knowledge? Well it’s fine . As for how to use it, you only pour water on the stones that was just heated from the pot? Be cautious not to burn, but the room becomes warm when heated by the moisture . ”

“Okay . ”

“Now, you may use it freely because everyone has already entered . ”

“Okay, thank you . ”

“Relax, see you tomorrow . ”

After Achilles-san says so, he left the bath shed .

Right away I soak in the bath .

It’s extremely different from the water a short while ago .

Warm . It’s a bath after a long time . It feels good .

With a *fuuuu* I exhale .

While relaxing I let my eyes swim, and the cauldron with stones comes into view .

This is a good time for a sauna . I’ll enter sometime .

Well, Achilles-san said that I was anxious before .

The season is spring .

Spring……that means there are four seasons .

If that’s the case, I can assume the rotation of the planet is similar to earth, with earth’s tilted axis .

The precession will be similar too .

Well, even if the form and size of the planet are inferred there’s no helping it……

An astronomer of ancient Greece found the volume of the earth using calculus, surveying with trigonometry, and calculating the size of the earth using the angle of the stars…… If there was Wikipedia I could understand it in detail, but there won’t be such a convenient thing as the internet . (TN: We have it though . )

But, I may be able to make use of casual modern knowledge in this other world……

I loved the drama where a present day doctor time traveled to the Edo period . I remember that I investigated how to make penicillin under the influence of the drama .

It seems there will be trouble cultivating the bluish green mold here .

Or how should I say it, if there’s magic there’s no need for penicillin……

I’ll seal modern knowledge for a while . And, even if I say that, the knowledge is only superficial . As a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, let’s give it up .

Now that I understand this world, I’m living in it .

So I’ll forget about the knowledge from my previous life .

While engaged in such delusions I leave the bath .

I thoroughly enjoy the cool night sky outside .

After doing this for a while I returned to the hut .

I plop myself down on the bed . A feather touches my back, it’s itchy .

While my hand behind to scratch my back, I’ll look a little . And,

“Status . ”

Name: Shuya Kagari

Age: 20

Title: Divine Beast Contractor

Race: Rusivault

Battle Occupation: Chain User

Strength 6 . 3 – Agility 8 . 0 – Stamina 6 . 0 – Magic 9 . 2 – Dexterity 6 . 3 – Spirit 2 . 4 – Luck 4 . 0

Current Condition: Healthy

The two titles Different World Castaway and Blood Oath Holder became Divine Beast Contractor .

The spiritual strength decreased sharply……the evidence of the contract with Rollodinu .

Without delay, I touch the title .

Acquired Title: Divine Beast Contractor

※Divine Beast Contractor※

When the Divine Beast grows benefit is given to the contracted party .

All ability values will receive growth revision .

Growth Revision .

I touch again .

※Divine Beast Contractor※

→???

???Even if I touch it, it’s not displayed .

I don’t understand it .

I touch the Rusivault race .

※Rusivault※

Rusivault is the rare endemic species with the perfect flow of blood of the Mazoku Vampire lineage . It’s isn’t the same race . It’s human visually, but the form is a proper evolution from Lucivault . The race does not evolve anymore .

There is a property that it is easy to be influence by the spirit of light and darkness .

All grow revision is great .

I don’t seem to be able to evolve anymore .

All ability values except the spirit value rise considerably .

Is it because I was eating black rabbits and black grass for a long time underground?

Is it when I absorbed the soul of the white monster?

The apostle seems the have been inhabiting the area underground……

Well, let’s confirm the various skills I learned .

Skill Status

Acquired Skills:<Throwing>:<Cerebral Demon Speed>:<Hidden Body>:<Night Vision>:<Smell Secretion Technique>:<Bloody Chain Feast>

Permanent Skills:<Power of True Ancestor>:<Natural Demon Ability>:<Torrent of Light Darkness>:<Soul Sucking>:<Undying>:<Darkness Adaptation>:<Blood Magic>:<Head of Household>

Extra Skills:<Language Comprehension>:<Crest of Light>:<Chain Factor>:<Cerebral Demon Spine Revolution>

First from Blood Sucking, I check that it changed to Soul Sucking .

※Soul Sucking※

When blood is sucked from a human with a lower spirit value a strong hypnosis naturally occurs, it has an effect of creating a strong suggestion . Ability improves slightly whenever blood is sucked .

If no blood is sucked for seven days then ability will fall . If no blood is sucked for 20 days then mummification will slowly progress .

When sucking blood magic element is absorbed, it’s possible to absorb the soul . In the case of drowning the soul of the partner can be absorbed quickly . When a soul is absorbed, one’s own spiritual strength jumps up, there’s an effect in the brain that gives pleasure .

If I’m not wrong it should have been five days .

With this it’s one week, even if there’s no supply of blood it’s OK .

Even if the period is prolonged if I not careless, without forgetting I have to replenish blood .

Next, is the details of the pheromone <Secret Smell Technique> .

※Smell Secretion Technique Pheromone Touch※

Minute pheromone particles are emitted around oneself, searching for enemies in a fixed range . Through pheromones living things moving the area can be distinguished, position of blood vessels can be grasped by smell, and appearance can be vaguely distinguished . Moreover, by the smell of sweat, sensation of fear may be inferred to some degree .

Intention is shown by a vampire using this, human, it will be possible to distinguish monsters from far away . There’s no magic consumption, the radius for the enemy search is more than 100 meters .

This is convenient . Presence Sensing Skill .

The other is <Bloody Chain Feast> .

Touch .

※Bloody Chain Feast※

The second barrier is derived specially from Extra Skill <Chain Factor> and Skill <Blood Magic> .

Extra Skill system special derivation “Armor” Skill .

Allow creation of blood chains . Specialized in destructive power .

When bleeding in large amounts the amount of blood chains increases and the destructive power of the blood goes up .

This is an extremely usable skill .

When I killed the white monster, for a moment, the skill could be used restricted .

It’s big that I learned this and am able to use it .

Well, As the wound is recovered immediately there won’t be much meaning unless there’s a powerful enemy .

An injury is painful and I don’t want to receive one .

When I think that……tsu, s-subtle……

But the Permanent Skill <Blood Magic>, is newly learned .

I don’t understand how to open the first barrier .

I’ll look at the explanation .

I touch Blood Magic .

※Blood Magic※

To open the first barrier, a vampire handles their unique blood magic .

The explanation was only this little .

The first barrier, what is it?

Is it Vampire’s unique blood magic?

I understand at least a sense of what blood magic is, but because I can’t understand it all I’m troubled .

Even if I touch it no explanation is given .

There seems be a time when the skill isn’t natural understood and has to be discovered .

To begin with magic, I don’t understand it yet……

Even if I say magic, I think this “Blood Magic” isn’t ordinary magic .

Let’s postpone it .

Finally, is the <Head of Household> Permanent Skill .

※Head of Household※

Direct descendants of the suzerain household who have the genealogy of the true ancestor given to an intellectual creature the blood of suzerain produces a <Head Servant> vampire .

Even though it says <Head Servant>, the suzerain is an existence more absolute than god . You as Head of Household will become able to tamper with a unique part of the <Servant> .

The <Head Servant> is a humanoid type creature that retains self-consciousness, by the experience acquired so far and the current state of inheritance, become a vampire by the blood of the suzerain .

A <Servant> which became a vampire, inherits a part of the Blood Magic of suzerain, physical ability, not only does magic ability jump for the <servant> but also peculiar skills will be acquired .

However, large quantities of the blood of suzerain are required for becoming a direct descendent of the household . The first one inherits the of Suzerain’s Blood Magic . The condition is up to three people .

I seem to be able to create a vampire that is faithful to me……

When I think about it again, this is great .

A <Head Servant>, well, it’s only three people, when I choose I’ll need to consider .

If possible a beautiful woman is good .

I want to make it a situation where the <Servant> and I mutually agree .

Though I think that is difficult, I have to aim big .

In the future, when I become an adventurer and a ruler, well ruler, a feudal lord who governs over more than one area as a joke, the subordinate who never betrays me is necessary for me who am a creature sucking blood .

Fufufu……

Well, that skill may be of use for the time being .

I look once more .

<True Shinso Bloodline> became the <Power of True Ancestor> .

※Power of True Ancestor※

The Power of True Ancestor exceeds that of the originator Blood Sucking God Regunad .

Physical Ability, Magic Ability, Hyper Intestinal Absorption, Demon Eyes, fuse .

Physical and Magical ability improve drastically, and every offensive type of <Psychic Waves> and <Abnormal State> can now be resisted .

Furthermore, the rate of digestion and absorption of magic element is fast, Magic recovery speed also doubles . There’s also the possibility that a <title> may be acquired by eating something containing a large amount of magic element . (TN: Titles can be acquired by eating? I can think of a couple MC’s who would like that ability . )

Any kind of toxin is absorbed by specific intestinal bacteria .

Without doing anything you may be given a good impression to any intellectual creature harboring negative feelings with a darkness attribute circumference the whole area . (TN: So anyone who is angry and has darkness attribute will like MC . )

You let a contractor hold a sense of awe due to the result of Magic transfer when contracting with a friendly darkness genus person, in the case that the spiritual power of the partner is low at the same time they’ll fall under your control, to check if they fall under control, they will suddenly become under control .

All ability values, inside growth revision .

The <Power of True Ancestor> is outrageous .

I now have resistance to Psychic Waves and Abnormal States .

It’s the result of the skill fusion, therefore the ability value jumped up .

Also even the domination check……?

It seems to be possible to be put under control if I give a friendly creature darkness attribute magic .

I can’t tell the difference between <Servant> and <Head of Household> but it has a similar feeling?

Repeatedly imagining I look at the ability .

My eyelids become heavy and I sleep .
