Yaritsukai to, Kuroneko - Chapter 5

Episode 5 ~ New Power and Determination

I was able to acquire the <Throwing> skill aswell as the <Cerebral Spinal

Demon Speed> skill.
I was able to understand <Throwing> easily, But I haven’t felt <Cerebral

Spinal Demon Speed> very much yet at all…

「That feeling that my body was changing…」

As I was excited my voice naturally leaked out.
It seems in this world, You can acquire a skill according to your actions.

Picking up the torch I threw, I bring the burning light close to my body,

Looking at my hands and feet, I feel my face.

My appearance hasn’t changed, All I’ve seen is normal.

<Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed>…

This ability raises the limit of my speed.
It feels like I know what kind of skill it is, But I’ll try verifying.

「Skill Status」

A semitransparent screen appears in front of me.

Skill Status

<Chain Factor> : <Cerebral Demon Spinal Revolution>

While playing with the status screen I touch the <Cerebral Spinal Demon

Speed> skill, Which is the derivation of the special skill <Cerebral Demon

Spinal Revolution>.

※Cerebral Demon Spinal Revolution※
→<Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed>
→ ? ? ?

? ? ? That means, It’s the same as <Chain Factor>, Do I have to learn it?

I touch <Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed>. I see the details.

※<Cerebral Spinal Demon Speed>※
Invoking conditions are required for some level of ability.
Constant adrenaline secretion and noradrenaline secretion are required

inside the brain.
By contiunally increasing new blood vessels and nerve networking from

the brain to the spine, Explosive physical speed is achieved.

After use of skill, Physical ability rises drastically for 20 seconds.
It’s impossible to use continuously, Cool time 20 seconds.

An explanation was given for the skill.

The semitransparent window then closed.

It seems to be a speed raising type of skill afterall. Cool time 20 seconds?

Nn, Even so, Blood is sticking on my right hand.
I try to shake it off, But the blood stays.

「Speaking of which, Blood is blood…」

I glance at the wet blood sticking to my right hand while muttering

quietly.
I need “Blood”

「I will eventually mummify if I don’t drink blood」

By chance, Is it possible monster blood is okay?
I try licking the blood on my finger to try.

「… Uh huh」

It’s unexpectedly delicious.

I lick my finger quickly.
That blood is such a treat…

I felt a natural “Taste” for the blood.
As expected, It affects my heart and thinking?

Maybe it will.

Because I was able to drink blood, There is five days until the negative

effects from the ability, I need “Blood” but I can supply it from a monster

or animal.

Speaking of Vampires, I remember there was a condition of drinking

“Virgin Blood” to release the <True Shinso Bloodline> Permanent skill.

Though I checked before reincarnating, I’ll check it again.

I touch the <True Shinso Bloodline> permanent skill.

※True Shinso Bloodline※
→ ? ? ?

※True Shinso Bloodine※ Release condition, Virgin Blood is required.
The power of the Vampire’s true ancestor is released by drinking the

blood of a virgin. During that time two phases of “Maximum Charm”

advance in progress quickly, And you acquire an exclusive skill.

Vampire’s true ancestor, This phrase reminds me of the vampire’s

creator…

During reincarnation, It displayed something about a blood sucking God.

More simple questions pass in my mind.

Is just one drop of Virgin Blood okay?
Does the partner who is drunk from die?
Will the person who drinks my blood become my underling?

Or maybe, Just taking a little blood when I drink blood will be okay.

I have simple questions and various doubts in my mind.
Though, I think I’ll understand when I drink blood.

Oh, Temporarily, I’ll postpone a virgin…
The human who I drink blood from first, Should I try “People who are

prepared to die”…

Hey, The person may die.

「…Haha」

I hold my face in my hands while dry laughter leaked out.

I’m half disgusted that I had such a cruel thought suddenly and naturally.

…Afterall, It seems my mind is changing little by little.

「Is it because I tasted blood?」

Aloud, I asked the dark cave.
Naturally, The dark cave didn’t answer
(TN: Rude)

Oh, It’s too late now. I’m the one who made the first choice.

I widen my eyes, Creasing the middle of my forehead.

I made a tight fist, Throwing all the strength of my body into my arm I hit

the wall to my side with my fist.

A dull sound echoes through the cave.
Small stones fall and patter from the impact.

My hand hurts…

The wall and my fist has a trace of bright red blood, Around the mark on

my fist the veins are split.

It’s enormous. The power of the Vampire lineage.
My race now is Lucivault.

But my fist is painful and bleeding.
I open my fist, Tasting the sense of pain.

… My fist is throbbing and aching.

However, My fist is recovering from the wound steadily.

All of the events occuring are really happening in reality.

I stare ahead in the cave, There’s nothing but darkness.
I extended my hand into the darkness, Again, I make a fist while moving

my hand as if to grasp something.

And, Again, I make a fist once I open my palm again.

Drinking blood is necessary.
I’m not the old me anymore. “I’ll become stronger”

In this dark, Underground world, I am changed.

From what I imagined, Isn’t it quite different?
I’ll adapt to this dark world underground, And I’ll fight…

「– I’ll survive」

I don’t know if it was the result of repeating the same thoughts, But I felt

quite fine.
I grasp the torch and advance to the depths of the dark cave.
