I wasn't expecting that result at all. What can I say, they just all left.

My eyes turned to a slit as I was reflecting on that. I just suffered a defeat. I didn't like it.

Quite the enlightening defeat, though. So maybe it hadn't been one. I didn't know. I'd learn from this defeat anyway and grow stronger thanks to it.

I wasn't expecting anything in the first place, either way.

And just like that, it went back to normal. In the alley I was in, all I was left with was the turned backs of their group.

The sound of their distancing voices and chatters was soon to be replaced by the advertising shouts of the different merchants mingling with the other people's nearby blabberings.

They were getting away from me after having rejected me. Somehow, I'd insulted them, I think. Apparently, they didn't quite like it. Thus their departure.

Let's not dwell on that.

I've got greater projects, anyway.

Just accordingly, I went on marching along the road, yet again. And going on with the flow like I first was doing.

What other choice did I even have, to begin with?

I just had to get myself a new host over again.

It was quite troublesome, not gonna lie. But well, this time about, I had something to do at least.

"Yeah, let's just look upon that positively," I tried to say enthusiastically.

I even accompanied that line of mine with a little dart forward.

You know, the kind of thing you do when something gets you all excited and motivated.

Sort of cheering myself up, I even added, "Looking for a new body to dwell in it is, then!"

Yeah, no can do, huh. I shook my head.

It was more half-assed than enthusiastic, unfortunately. Trying to cheer up myself wasn't going to chase away my unwillingness to get all that done.

I mean, damn...

My life's so messed up.

Am I really doing this? I thought as I kept dragging my foot.

That thing, though, the guide … let's call it a guide, yes. Didn't it tell me to find a new vessel to ensure survival?

'Cause, now that I think about it, the first time it told me that it was kinda imminent.

As of right now? I wasn't even undergoing the dwelling procedure or whatever that was called.

Why was the guide even ordering me around, hm? Well, it sure proved helpful at the beginning. As a result, I guess I'll do as it says for now.

But still, wasn't I alright…?

No, I wasn't, huh.

Pains to admit it, but my body's aching all over, and come to think of it, maybe going on a stroll for a couple of hours wouldn't have had these kinds of results on my body.

I stretched my hands in front of me, still walking down the street.

Yeah, looking at these hands, they sure don't look like they've been strained, if not barely at all.

Yes, the strong warrior from the beginning--the one I was dwelling on right now--that man must've done something to me.

I brought my hands to my throat. There's that wound, after all.

The guide wouldn't indicate to me otherwise.

So was that all about it?

I kinda saw all that coming anyway.

I chuckled as I tried to reassure myself, vainly. In reality, no, I hadn't expected any of that.

My stomach growled again. I could smell so many appealing odors. There still were many stands and peddlers on the big alley I was strolling in.

"Argh. That guide's only getting in the way," I kicked one little rock on the ground, sort of taking it out on the little thing.

It was annoying. But there was one thing that bugged me even more. From the way it started, wouldn't I be always considering taking over new hosts and vessels as time went by?

Well, not necessarily but still, I had to prepare in the instance it'd be the case.

I did consider not following its instructions, too, but well.

It's what's permitted me to live, so far.

Well, either way, the guide was something I needed to follow. I understood that.

My thoughts were overflowing with all these ideas. And in the meantime, I kept dragging my foot along my path.

"But still, wouldn't there be a way that'd let me avoid all the trouble…?"

I waited for something to happen, maybe?

"All the trouble of looking for new hosts and whatnot…?"

One second?

Two seconds?

You really won't talk to me, huh.

❮System generating quests: … on❯

Ah?

I hurriedly stopped the course of my walking feet. Was this my moment? I needed to be attentive and careful.

❮Quest found: 'Character's creation'--❯

"Yes … sir?"

❮Failure: the Player's race has yet to meet the requirement needed to proceed.❯

I clicked my tongue.

❮Current race: Parasite; Required race: Demonic parasite.❯

"Uh?"

"And is that it?"

Hmph, and what was I even clicking my tongue for? Did I even understand one bit of what that female-like voiced guide had told me?

"Nah. That's unlikely."

But at least it talked to me, right? I grinned.

"Yeah, I'm satisfied," I nodded, my grin growing even wider. "Mhm-mhm, let's resume our stroll.," I nodded again solemnly as I went on marching back again.

At least, there was a following-up to it. It made me happy.

Indeed, I just had to … Well, let's not mention that for now. I was still ignorant of my situation. Somehow though, I believe I'd come to, maybe, understand something else?

Yes, let's not think too much about it. Wouldn't do me any good, anyway.

"So, so, what was today's theme again?" I asked myself.

"Looking for a new vessel!" I answered myself, playfully.

And yes, yes. That was right!

Or so I'd have replied in normal circumstances.

'Cause, yeah, let's not forget that I didn't even know how to do that. Or rather, I'd need to plan something beforehand.

Plus … there was something else.

"And, oh, let me tell you that this guy," my stomach went on growling again as I rubbed it, "won't stop his soliloquy if I don't step in. That, I'm afraid of."

Yes, there was this stomach I needed to feed once again.

So, for now, I'd go eat.

But, but, what about my little visiting stroll under the sun, you ask?

"Whatever, man. Was just visiting 'cause I was bored, to be honest."

Plus, I was tired.

I was quick to change my mind.

Real quick.

After saying this, I turned over to the opposite side I was facing right now. With one quick spinning movement on myself, I was facing backward.

This stand I first noticed, I'd eat from that one. I nodded.

That was decided.

I walked onwards.
