Soul Manipulation
After working on combinations, it was time to go to sleep.
Aphrodite, that girl, was totally absorbed in the kedamalo, so it seemed like I was finally able to use the bed all by myself.
I-Its not really lonely, you know?
It was regrettable that I would no longer have the opportunity to gaze upon her magnificent chest, but I was excited at the thought of being able to use that huge bed.
If I considered the state of my health if I continued to lose sleep for a while, this was a good thing.
Now then.
Lets check my current status before I go to bed.

Rare evolution at least 1 time
Mana: over 1000
Under Skills .was the newly added Soul Manipulaion.
Houhou.
It seems I was able to meet the acquisition conditions thanks to the rare evolution of the wolf.
But soul manipulation.
It was a very dangerous skill.
After all, my body would be defenseless while I was using the skill, right?
Fortunately this time Im in bed at the inn so it should be safe, but I feel like this isnt a skill I can use in the middle of combat.
After I selected the soul manipulation skill.
A new window appeared.
System Message
(Please select a target monster)
Aphrodite
Carolina Burton
Sheryl OTelrod
Werewolf
Adamite Golem
Kedamalo
Goblin Knight
Light Mush
Kitsunebi
And then I immediately selected Aphrodite.
D-dont misunderstand.
There isnt really any ulterior motive.
Its just that, by chance, Aphrodite happens to be on at the top of the list of selections. Theres no other reason.
Theres no I was thinking about invading her mind and touching her outrageous chest with abandon. Absolutely not.
System Message
(Your status is insufficient to use Soul Manipulation on that monster)
Guha!
It seems that my status wasnt enough to invade Aphrodites mind.
Damn you, Aphrodite!
Why is she like thisIll only be able to do it at a time when its inconvenient for me.
Now then.
What to do now?
Now that I think about it, since its the first Im testing this skill, I should choose a monster that is safe.
Having decided that, I chose the name of the Mad Mush in the window screen.
If it was this guy with his Disorder Powder skill that causes arousalI might have just one chance to do erotic things.
Even if I cant take over its mind directly, that doesnt mean I should give up hope!
When my consciousness returnedwhat entered my sight was a grassland that continued indefinitely.
Where is this?
I was just laid out on my bed and was attempting to verify the skill, but.
Huh?
The surrounding bushes were extremely big, I felt like my line of sight was getting lower, but.
Noko! ?
And then I noticed the changes that had occurred to my body.
So thats it!
Right nowmy soul is in the Mad Mushs body!?
In that case, perhaps this grassland is!?
It seems thatI have somehow ended up inside the capsule ball that I could only ever view from the outside.
[1]This is one of those really hard to translate Japanese words, . It refers to the mind, spirit, soul, and heart in pretty much every figurative sense of the words. For example, its one of the words that together I translated as mana, literally spirit power. Mind and spirit have different connotations, especially in a fantasy setting, but I thought soul was the closest to getting across the intended meaning, especially after the rest of the chapter
[2]After thinking about it, Im going to change these to Mush instead of Marsh. They resemble mushrooms, and in Japanese both mush and marsh would be . If I get around to it, Ill change the past chapters, but for now this will only be from here on out
