My Parasite Skill System

I appeared back again as a humanoid.

My hair fell back down my forehead and went hindering my seeing eyes again.

"Heh, heh, heh…"

And I didn't brush them back.

A nervous chuckle only escaped my mouth on its own.

Giving a look around, the walls weren't so much blocking off the outside from reaching out to my eyes, with all that had happened.

There were so many tents … with so many orcs around too. There were more tents than there were orcs. I'm sure they were just hustling and bustling up till now that they've come to a stop.

What the hell are we even doing with Old Sipping?

Aren't they all, one by one, as they're finally noticing me, directing their face at me?

Of course, they are.

Err … this does seem complicated.

Will they take me as an enemy?

This seems kind of fun in its own way … though I'd not want that, not gonna lie.

More importantly … where is he even, that old human male, huh?

Shouldn't he be appearing already?

Shouldn't I be frowning, right now, already?

"Sigh…"

The walls collapsed.

The outside saw me and I saw the outside.

Grass, mostly, as usual, we were still in the Very Many Grasses field.

Coming up to my retina with that, were the many tents and other similar cabins to the one I'd been finding myself in all the while.

They were scattered and spread around just like how I'd seen them from up the elevated part of this plateau; before chiming in on the battlefield I simply scanned the place.

Uh-uh. It seems fun. But I don't really like it, for some reason.

These tents obviously were populated with orcs still. Even outside of the tents was to be counted quite a great deal of orcs (they were growing up in number as they noticed their shattered structure).

And I came to sigh yet another time though not entirely; my breath was cut short

And seemingly out of nowhere–the air and space right in front of me gave a change, "Didn't I warn you and taught you carefulness!" and old ringing upset voice ranged out.

I'd had it. Old just appeared before me, just as quick as lightning.

He must've performed the same old sort of quick pace skill he performed back in the forest, showing off his sharp skills.

From my perspective, it was very sudden. I gave a start and stepped back away from it right away.

It was only a reflex, though. Once I'd understood it was only him, I simply tilted my head to the side with a blatant look.

The infamous Old Sipping.

He's finally dropped by here.

Incidentally, that's the exact entrance I was expecting out of him.

But that old man seemed pretty upset?

I don't really know, but he sure seems to be. His face was all distorted with his usual funny, senile, and petty grumbling lips.

Aren't I the one who ought to be upset, though?

"I told you to be careful–you told me you would listen!"

And bending his head at me again, looking down on me from above, he shouted again … sort of telling me off?

Dares he do that, now? I'm not to be told off. I'm strong.

His old funny wrinkled face alongside his white beard stared at me with a slight touch of worry and madness.

"But–"

"It is for you, and you alone, that I warned you; you have to know!–More importantly, was this all you had in you, young lad?–this jumping and playing around … I can hardly call that an assessment, oh, oh."

"Meh."

"Oh, and come on, now." I understood he must've been (maybe, I don't know) worried because of me; he repeated enough times he was fond of me–he went on grumbling again, "Don't simply 'meh' me, young lad."

But 'meh' just meant 'meh.'

And I still meant it.

Meh.

"But–first off; I was being careful!–but they were my friends, Old Sipping!" of course I should, "the orcs were cool boys, y'know! You can't just kill my friends, next time about! And you said I'm the one in charge, didn't you!"

I simply protested, making huge and broad waves, too, with my hands and arms around, indicating to that old human I was the one who had to be upset here.

That ought to calm him.

…

But … what is it with the heavy way he's looking at me right now…?

"What?" I winced at him with slight loathing.

Oh, old man, don't tell me you wanna argue again…?

Duh.

"–No–no 'buts'! I–I–They captured you! And we agreed to do that together! Adventuring! How was I to let my young and fresh peer let go to his own death because of his own recklessness, hmm?" he shouted, still arguing.

Orcs started to get a notice of us. I gathered they were mistrustful about us.

"You killed them!–if you kill my friends; kill yourself, old man!"

"Young lad, you did not even howl as per the plan! And have I to tut-tut you again for yet another time, young man?–I like it better when I'm your uncle, oh-ho!"

"What!–but I did howl, old man!"

"It–It … it was not certainly loud enough, then! I was worried sick … oh, will my poor heart then indeed fail me today, and my little companion will play a role in this; tragedy~! Howl better."

Shaking my head, I noticed orcs were now dangerously working their way slowly towards us two.

But I went back at it strongly and calmly. I never would lose an argument with Old Sipping. Nor would I ever lose to anyone at all. I'm strong.

"Loud enough? Hmph! Only you weren't paying attention, with your old ears, you old human body."

"Enough…! I'm–only … well …–not so old!"

"Old! Old! Old! Old! Old!"

"You … not-so-old…!"

"Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old!"

"Pfft … not-so-old again!"

"Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old! Old!"

And at this point, the tension had reached its climax…

We both stared at each other blatantly, without uttering any word…

Only a silence occurred.

"…"

"…"

"Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah!" I burst out laughing real loud and real hard.

"Oh, hoh, hoh, hoh, hoh!" and, just as per our habits in doing so, Old went on laughing in his own funny way too, embracing his stomach with both arms.

"You're always this funny old man even when grumpy grumbling, huh??"

"Hoh! Funny times bring about funny smiles!"

"Pfft, yeah, right–but anyway, they're our enemies, now, aren't they."

"Hmm."

"And that's because of you.

"Oh."

"How do we do?–I just know what to do."
