Other keywords

 * Subeye (Agan)
 * A word that refers to a special eye that sees the soul. Not only dead humans, but also animals, demons, and even the spirits of small worms can be seen, so sub-eyes will spend a restless day surrounded by dead spirits. Therefore, it is said that the sub-eyed person chooses either to enter the church for fear of being involved in the ghost, or to become a ghost messenger with the pleasure of manipulating the ghost. On the other hand, the sub-eyes have a high degree of suitability for necromancy, and it is said that if you become a necromancer, which is rare in the empire, you will be at your disposal. The sub-eye can also see the color of the soul of a living human, so it is very useful for detecting disguise and searching for enemies. In this way, sub-eyes often follow a strange fate due to their peculiar power, so they are also called "blessings" or "curses" depending on the region, and they are treated differently. There are rumors that the viscera with sub-eyes are a good medicine for immortality, so depending on the region, sub-eyes may be targeted for purchase. The sub-eye is considered to be the power that resides in the soul, and even if you lose your eyes, that power will not disappear. Even after the corpse temple reincarnated in the body of Shinoyama Polka, it continues to have the power of sub-eyes, and that power is also being demonstrated on the earth. However, the power of the sub-eyes is also changing, such as the fact that only human ghosts can be seen on the earth, which has almost no magical power.


 * Necromancy (Shiryojutsu)
 * How to handle the soul. The soul of a dead human produces energy from regret and hatred, and uses it to stay in this world. It takes a certain amount of energy for the spirit to stay in this world, and by exterminating it with necromancy, it is possible to exorcise the spirit and at the same time convert that energy into magical power. When the dead spirit continues to have regrets and stays in this world, it gradually loses its sanity and becomes a demon. Shinoyama Polka is gaining power by pursuing evil spirits that cannot be understood. Also, if the spirit has reason, it can be used by contracting, and if it is the contracted soul, it can be transferred to another vessel. Due to its nature, it is a magical technique that has a high degree of sub-eye holding, and because it is rare, there are few people who can handle the technique. A person with high suitability can synchronize the spirit and soul to see and feel the scenery in the distance, but the high suitability is a double-edged sword that erodes one's soul by the ghost. Is regarded as dangerous. However, Easelies Soldfrail dared to extend the high suitability of the corpse temple and raised him to become a ghost messenger specializing in ghost entrainment. In a different world, there were many restrictions on necromancy because it was hindered by the demons that existed in the atmosphere, but since there are few demons on Earth, Polka took advantage of that environment and overflowed with necromancy and another world. He is creating a new necromancy "group of invisible hands" using the flow.
 * Magic stone (Maryuseki)
 * A stone that stores magical power. A stone used by magicians to replenish their magical powers, it is so common in other worlds that even children can easily obtain it, and it is also used in the infrastructure of the city. It also exists on Earth, but most are treated as jewels and are very expensive. Also, if the magical power is absorbed, the stone will shatter into pieces, so it is said that it cannot be reused as a jewel.
 * Eldritch overflow (Ikai Tsuryu)
 * A technique to arrange the space with magical power. By mixing the air of the "higan" into the closed space, it is possible to make the place an easy-to-use space for magic, or to upset the senses of those in that space. However, in order to bring a strong effect to a large space, it is necessary to perform a ritual and take a considerable amount of time, and at most, one-handed work can make a person with a sharp can feel "unpleasant". The corpse temple possessed by Shinoyama Polka is good at constructing a "temple" where it is easy for oneself to manipulate magical power due to the overflow of another world, and built a temple that completely envelops the torture building.
 * A group of invisible hands (Miezaru no Mure)
 * Necromancy was newly created by Shinoyama Polka on the earth. In a different world, the demons that are abundant in the atmosphere disturb the senses, making it difficult to put into practical use. The "dead spirit's hand" that shares the tactile sensation through the dead spirit's entrainment is woven with the "dead spirit's thread" that enables physical interference, and the invisible hand can be remotely controlled. The effective range is in the torture building surrounded by the overflow of another world, and since it is possible to investigate multiple times at the same time, it is a "group of invisible hands" as the name implies. It was used by Polka to support Koyu during the three-way battle between Tengu, Remmings, and Raikoyu. Originally it is invisible, but it becomes visible because it is covered with the tapioca milk tea-flavored smoke screen that Yukigurumamura made playfully, and the powder contained in the smoke screen adheres to it. Not only the snow car villages but also an unspecified number of people witnessed such a situation, and the invisible hand group attracted attention as a mystery of Shinjuku.
