It's been a few months, and I've been adopted!
My 'daddy' is old, but he is big and strong. Plus, he works in a church, and he has lots of children, which means that I have a lot of siblings!
That's right, I've been adopted!... Into an orphanage.
"Yay, you fixed it!" one of the children clapped.
I had just fixed a whole litany of toys that were damaged.
"Wow, you did a pretty neat job," a nun remarked.
I just helped fix the fence that had a hole.
"Hey, you got full marks!" a tutor exclaimed.
It was a standard test for kids... I could do that with my eyes closed.
So what am I doing now?
Well, I am testing my abilities, of course.
You see, the most important parts of your body... are definitely your heart and your brain.
[Body Manipulation] was a gold mine, and it was a gold mine that required intense stamina to do major to even delicate alterations.
So, what have I been doing in the past few months?
This.
Sitting in a library, I was reading through a massive tower of books on biology, anatomy, hormones, science, language, and math.
I was researching sites like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Library of Medicine (NLM), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for drug trials, their results, and any possible long-term effects they may have.
While I wasn't going to use them myself—I have Body Modification to use instead—I still wanted to see what could possibly happen.
One might be wondering, why do this instead of just working out? Which I do. But this does have its uses.
It's to familiarize myself with the parts of the body that I planned on changing.
'It's honestly absurd,' I thought. 'The information from these sites that most people would never even use in their entire lives was overflowing. There were even tragic cases of malpractice with tests due to hormones and bad reactions to certain medicines in the body.'
With this, the first part of my plan was pretty much finished.
I would use [Body Modification] to enhance the existing hormones in my body, and when it alters my growing body, I would change my body to supplement that growing change.
And after I made sure that my body was strong enough, I would train myself to acquire Touki and Magic.
Afterwards, I would absorb it into my body and then regulate it freely from there.
It was a plan I thought of while thinking of magic in this world, that for humans, is mainly composed of formulas that need to be crafted, rather than the imagination-based powers of devils.
For those who wish to be magicians, they need strict training and a preexisting aptitude for magic. However, people like Le Fay were said to have talent so bright that it bypassed the need for testing.
In other words, I would directly modify the existence of talent and hypercompetence into my body.
''Heh, then I won't have to brute force it anymore.''
To tell the truth, I had an accident a month ago where I tried to modify my body without much knowledge of what was happening, and I'd nearly turned myself into a subhuman-looking homunculus with sub-IQ.
So, to avoid that, I used different methods to get things done before I decided to reattempt modifying my body.
Right now, I'm using a very barbaric method of using [Hypnosis] on myself to memorize full textbooks of info and drawing from memory if I need something from it.
---Yes, eidetic memory 1.0.
---And after today, it will probably reach 1.5, if not 2.0.

Just across from me, there were two high school-aged students who were busy reading comics while I was sitting next to a pile of books and a computer, doing research.
'Two Peace, huh...' I thought. 'If I remember correctly, it's 2000... which means they're currently reading about the 'Alabaster' arc.'
Two Peace was pretty popular around this time, alongside Drag-so-ball, not to mention the other manga and anime airing or being written around the time.
And as for Two Peace, well... it was the same as the singular piece, just with different names to avoid copyright—
"Silence!" the librarian barked at a pair of students who were chatting with each other a tad bit too loudly.
She was an older woman and took the job as a librarian seriously, which I liked because it meant that there was peace and quiet that I wouldn't be afforded at the orphanage.
'Not like I hated those kids, though... It's just a bit embarrassing to run around and play with them... sometimes.'
So far, I've altered and enhanced several hormones in my body without throwing it out of balance.
Especially oxytocin, which helps with social bonding and trust, making it even easier for me to use [Hypnosis] on hard-headed individuals after I loosened them up.
Though, it indirectly gave a little boost with older women who had kids, as the androstadienone and androstenone hormones acted like a little pheromone boost that would make it less likely for people to want to bash my face in.
Just a little extra protection, by the way.
"Wow!" I exclaimed, finally finding something to boost my research. It was getting late, and I'd soon need to leave after all.
Though there was a welcome little side effect.
"Daichi-kun, you shouldn't be too loud, okay?" The librarian looked at me with a softer, mushy look, as she struggled not to hug me after patting my head.
---Yeah, the maternal instinct thing.
"What the heck, that brat was even louder than us."
"Yeah, what the hell—"
"Oi." The librarian cut off their complaints, making them go silent quickly.
She then turned to me with a sickly sweet smile that made me realize why so many young men don't take it seriously when an older woman takes advantage of a young man and plays with his body.
To get this kind of affection must feel like heaven to the average man.
'Huh. It's getting dark.'
But unfortunately, it was time to go.
Picking up my bag, I stuffed the books into it as I got ready to go.
"I'll return them by next week, I promise." I came a little closer and whispered into the librarian's ear.
"Hhhnnn!"
Her body jolted as she twisted and turned before taking me into a rather long hug.
"Don't you worry, Daichi-kun," she rustled my head. "When you're coming back, just make sure to come fast, okay?"
'Damn, no girl in my past life ever asked for me to do that, not even my old girlfriend... I'm not even using hypnosis, but these abilities are insane!'
If I were Issei, this would be the part where I remark on her sizeable bust, but I'm not.
I'm definitely not like him.
Also, she had quite the sizeable bust, so it felt great.
Very nice, very good.
I'm a gentleman.
I use adjectives to describe it.
'All right, maybe I do understand his love for it... a little'
I'm also a hypocrite, sure. But I acknowledge it.
"What the heck, she never talks to us like that..."
"Do you think she's a shotacon—"
The two began to complain before quickly being silenced by the librarian's glare.
"It's closing time. Get going," she coldly said.
"So cold!?" the two students said.
And as for me? Well, I'm faster than an athletic man on a bike now, so I was home in no time.
After eating a lot, of course.

"Hey, Daddy Kondo! Sister Kyoko! I'm back!" I said as I walked through the door.
It was a rather nice-looking place, different than the dilapidated orphanages commonly seen in fiction.(or just poorer parts of the world)
There was an abundance of toys and age-appropriate technology, and we were all well-fed.
"It's Father, you brat," Father Kondo said.
He was a typical middle-aged Japanese oji-san, but for some reason, I couldn't shake the fact that he might be an exorcist in secret.
"Ah, you're home, Daichi-kun," Sister Kyoko her brown eyes narrowed in relief as she was dressed in a nun's garb. "Were you at the library again?"
"That's right. Where are the others?"
The living room was never a ghost town like this. Shouldn't they be making a mess right now?
"They're in bed now. They were in the living room with a guest reading stories earlier."
"A guest?" I wondered. 'Who would visit at this time?'
"A real beauty, almost like an angel!" Sister Kyoko remarked.
'What? A beauty like an angel?'
Could it be that those two troublemakers, Murphy and the Butterfly, made a certain angel visit my abode?
'And I missed it? Damn.' Disappointment rushed from within me.
Not only could I see her, but if I could get a strand of her hair or even her DNA...
'Huehuehuehuehue! Wouldn't that give me the chance to use [Body Modification] to gain new angelic powers?'
Light magic, wings, longevity...
The thought of it made me salivate.
'Too bad, too sad...'
"His name should be Michael," Sister Kyoko said, killing my disappointment entirely.
---Michael.
"Michael? Just Michael? no Vick, Jackson, Jordan, or Fassbender?" I asked. '
'It wouldn't happen to be the same blond guy with wings who works directly for The Big G up there heaven, right?'
"No. Just Micheal," Sister Kyoko replied.
'Holy moly!' I thought. 'It's not what I think it is, is it?'
"Anyways, I ate on the way back, so I'll wash up and head in."
"Okay," Sister Kyoko patted my head. "Good night, sweet dreams!"
'Seriously, everyone seriously loves patting my head.' I shook my head. It seems like everyone was slowly getting addicted to doing so, especially older women.
I stopped in front of Father Kondo to see if he would do the same.
"Hmmn? What do you want, kid?"
"Aren't you going to pat my head?" I asked innocently, "This might be your last chance for the rest of your life y'know? Since you're a geezer and all..."
-thwack!-
"Ack!"
I returned to my room with a bump on my head.
I could've dodged, but there was no harm in not doing so, as after tonight, I would gain something akin to a healing regeneration ability.
'Damn, old man,' I muttered, rubbing my head. 'Must be whatever kind of menopause that old men like him get...'
It was a warm environment, to which I was grateful. But the mention of the previous visitor still weighed on my mind.
'Why would he come down from heaven for even a second?' I wondered. 'According to the light novels, he wasn't the type of guy to care about the little things over the 'greater good' or whatever he calls it.'
In the novels, when the banishment of Asia was brought to his attention, he didn't seem too bothered by it, as while he was a bit sad, he let it happen to ensure the stability of Heaven's faction in the wake of a controversy like hers, due to her doing something 'blasphemous' like healing a devil...
'Wow, another 'greater good' 'the end justifies the means' guy... Yikes.'
Anyway, as I entered my room, which I shared with several other boys, I got on the top bunk and began to think about my future.
---My plans, which after tonight, would start in full force.
As the hour passed by, the lights went out, and even the adults turned in for bed. Soon, it was the optimal time to do what I had to do.
'Alright... time to get busy.'
