Episode 32: The Condition of the Corpse Ghost

"... you mean you just have to keep up the good work to be?

I'll ask Lorraine.

Because if Lorraine's explanation is correct, basically, if she wants to become a vampire and continues to absorb the power of the demon, she can do so any day.

But to this Lorraine unexpectedly shakes her head.

"I can't tell you that's necessarily true... no, it's not in the wrong direction, but there's a chance it can't be done just that"

"... what do you mean?

"This is where your existential evolution becomes a problem. If you had just defeated the demons, you could have evolved, wouldn't you have done so in the labyrinth?

To Lorraine's question, I do think.

If all you had to do was defeat the demon and absorb its power, the power gained at the time of defeating the bone giant (Giant Skeleton) was considerable, so it could have evolved there.

Maybe that wasn't enough power, but then I usually came back to the city.

On the way home, he defeated a few demons at best, but he wasn't able to evolve in existence either, and this happened between Lorraine and being bored, fainting and waking up.

It's somewhat predictable that it's not just the existential evolution of defeating demons.

I see, so that's what we were talking about...

"I don't know what to do with it..."

"Yes. This time, I thought it was because you did it that you evolved. Well, I still don't know the details, but the speculation is made that demonic existence evolution can have conditions. Anyway, you couldn't have evolved just to defeat the demons as a matter of fact."

So even if you want to be a vampire, maybe you can't just defeat the demons, that's why.

Nevertheless, why could it have evolved with Lorraine's blood and meat...

Asked about it, Lorraine said,

"That's a hard part of it too... because a corpse ghost is, for once, a type of junior vampire. Vampires (vampires) are said to take their magic and chi powers into their bodies by sucking blood. Doesn't mean you'll die if you don't do that, but they'll gradually weaken you. Isn't it the same with corpse ghosts... that you can gain strength by taking in people's blood?"

"Hard, what?

"Wasn't that more of a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul) urge? At that time, you were losing your mind for the most part... but was it such a strong urge by then? When you were a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul), other than then, you didn't feel instinct or something like that?

To be told and think about it, I feel like I wanted to eat people's meat plain, or something like that was constantly on my mind.

No, you can't, I put up with myself scratching, but it didn't feel that way, it was something I could do because it was a mild urge.

But as he fought the demons and gradually grew stronger, so did his impulses.

That time I met Loris, the man in the restaurant, it was a time when such an impulse was getting pretty strong.

After defeating the Bone Titan (Giant Skeleton), it had become so powerful that it had little patience.

Talking like that, Lorraine nodded,

"Speaking of demons, energy intake may be necessary. Maybe my instinct worked hard that I didn't have to eat. And when you came to me, you said it exploded... and as a result you ate my flesh and evolved into a being... I don't know if that's because I happen to meet the conditions, or if the demon has some sort of instinct to try to meet the conditions I said so, but that's roughly the place. So I think you need to work hard to think of something like evolutionary conditions, rather than just defeating demons."

I answered that.

... It's a subtle story to think, I feel, but Lorraine, about this,

"... there will be no choice. I don't even know anything about it. In the first place, everything I just said is hypothetical, paranoid. Oh, I need more samples... so I can know more accurately."

The day will surely not come when that Lorraine hope will come true more than I don't think there are so many like me.

Well, Lorraine calls it paranoia, but it was a sufficiently informative story to think about.

I wouldn't have been able to think this far on my own, and I wouldn't have thought that deep in the first place.

I thought it was me you should have had was a friend of a long-time academician.

"I've said a lot, but at any rate, I'm going to have to do the trick. Maybe this is the first time in the history of mankind that you're walking... and I'll give you that support."

Thankful story.

I tell Lorraine.

"... thank you, Nah"

"Never mind...... so soon, shall I look into all this stuff about you now"

"What?"

I will face Lorraine, who made such a suggestion abruptly, just about to get a soggy air.

But Lorraine,

"What are you doing? Take off your clothes for now. The video crystal is here, so let's shoot you in your current state. Oh, and you can eat? I think you can put something in it at the time you eat me in the state of a corpse eater (ghoul), but try it later for regular food too. Whoa, in addition to that, scrape some of that body for me later. Because if it hurts, I have anesthesia... does anesthesia work for you now? I'd also like to investigate the effects of the drug relationship..."

He suggested various experiments from next to next, and he was going to make me do all of them.

I listened to it.

I'm usually a carefree Lorraine, but once I'm passionate about something, I keep working on it day and night, and that's where I forget to sleep and do it to the point where I eventually pass out.

Every time, I felt like I was taking care of everything around me.

So much so that I've bracketed it in my bed and pioneered it every time before I had the guts to keep doing what I wanted to do without asking.

This time too, the illness appeared.

However, to ask her about her proposed experiments, I also thought it might be better to keep them all together right now, with all the things that she does seem to need.

Whether drugs work for me right now depends on whether drugs work when exploring the labyrinth, and if you seem to be able to eat, you should.

If all of a sudden you're hungry enough to fall, or fall because you couldn't nourish it, you should eat it, though you might be resting.

In the first place, I like the meal itself, because there is.

I want to if I can.

Between being a boner (skeleton) and a corpse-eating ghost (ghoul) and biting Lorraine, she has nothing to say but Lorraine, so she won't have to eat it, or likely won't... it would be worth a try.

"Come on, Lent. Good hurries. I just wanted to say we're gonna start experimenting sooner... but you'll be tired of boulders today, too, so we'll start tomorrow. Hmm... what's that face?

I didn't think that tension was going to make me look odd because I was going to turn the experiment tomorrow, etc.

I tell Lorraine.

"... No, I'm here. At first, I was..."

"Even I have as much common sense as I occasionally do."

Sometimes, is it?

I thought I'd go in there, but, well, sometimes, I immediately thought, so it was me who missed the opportunity to go in.
