We weren't in the village anymore.

So I'd have to go all the way back to it, huh.

What a pain.

Where are we even supposed to be right now, anyway…?

I sighed inwardly.

Well, I got more important matters for me to deal with, right now.

Calming, he was waiting for me to speak.

"Rather, maybe should I call you, err, Laerd, right? Well, regardless, Laerd, I got to explain something to you and your friend."

Ahh.

Poor dude.

His face didn't change. Still as anxious and questioning as it could be.

What about Angry, now…?

Nah.

Still nothing from him.

"That's quite simple, but not as quite simple as it'd normally be," he didn't seem to understand a thing of what I'd said just now, but at least I got his attention, "Listen, Laerd, I'm not the … I'm not the one you think I am," I couldn't make it clearer than that.

"Me, I'm, uhh… A sort of insect, I guess? Well, that's complicated actually, but uh … All in all, I just got to get out of here. I've got a family awaiting for me. The inn people, they told me I could stay with them."

Oh??

I paused right there. I had to pause and watch. Was I finally getting a reaction out of Angry…?

He seemed to react, too.

It was good news.

"Me, I'm a parasite, yes. And I just sorta took over your daughter--Is she your daughter, though?" he didn't reply to me.

Still lost, huh.

I can understand that, man.

"Well, for the sake of my explanation let's just consider she is. So, I, got into her body and took over. Now she's mine. But, hey, don't be mad at me or anything, okay? She was just weak, so I just sorta served myself."

Well, hopefully, they wouldn't get mad.

"Pff--Pffftttttt…. Hahaha…" it was Angry, surprisingly.

Ah?

It was faint, but I could hear him laugh.

Was it even a funny moment?

Poor dude. I could see it. He was repressing his laughter.

Well, just laugh, hey, I'll not get mad I promise.

He wanted to laugh.

Something was fun.

Giving in to this hypothetically hilarious ambiance, he just burst.

Angry couldn't hold it anymore.

"Pfffffttt… Kahahahaha! Would ya listen to that, Laerd?!"

Meh.

I get that.

"Hey, Laerd, so, what now?! I ain't hear you talk anymore, huh? She's gone nuts, can't you see? That's what I told you," his hand was resting on Laerd's shoulder as he was abruptly tapping on it with each burst of laughter.

"Take your hand off me…! Shameless…!"

Oh, not the one to mess with, huh.

Laerd's expression changed to a cold and irritated one.

"Ohhh, I mean, it's fine for you to laugh a bit, too, y'know, man. I mean, I'm not hiding it. Even for me, that's surprising," Angry's hand was retracted before he continued, "Ahh, goodness, my stomach hurt, now."

Argh.

Even though I can understand him...

That man's playful smile, right now…

He was blatantly and annoyingly staring at me now. His head was shaking from left to right in little movements.

I sighed, "Look, I get it, it's funny," I decided to face him and to go with plan B.

"I had intended to explain further, maybe it'd have made sense to you at some point, but anyway, laugh all you want, hideous one."

To my line just now, Angry clicked his tongue. It worked.

I tried to keep my composure, "I'll just take it a bit ahead and go with the second plan, if you don't mind … ugly eyes!" I threw at him.

But, oh?

That one didn't quite work. If 'ugly eyes' wasn't good enough, hmm…

"You're just an ugly smelly monkey banana face!" I said as I stood up, taking a step towards him. This effect would be adding power to my words, I think.

Would it work?

Mhm. I was analyzing his expression. And, oh--

Seems to me like it works.

"Tsk," he went on ahead clicking his tongue again, "This time's too much, kid!"

Slap!

Yes!

That quickly, though?

It surprised me, but that was it.

It went a little bit quicker than I had expected. But well, I was expecting these results.

It worked.

And now, according to the script, wasn't it Calming's turn to dive in and dance within my palm alongside his funny friend?

Once again, yes.

My eyes turned to him, I faked a sorrowful expression the best I could.

"You freaking …" Calming's usually so tiny nostrils expanded, he strongly breathed in and out. He was angry, obviously, "I'm telling you not to mess with the princess again, and you?!"

"Oh, will you shut your mouth, Laerd?! She's insolent! I'm educating her!"

Good, good.

Stir up some more agitation, you two, good.

My plan looked good.

Well, the agitation wasn't that high…

Maybe it was still enough.

Both of them were facing each other while yelling at each other. Their words were of hatred and anger.

Their attention wasn't drawn upon me any longer.

And me?

Well, before going on about saying what I'd be doing as they were yelling, let's just first remember a few things.

Me, I have mana.

I know that.

How did I know?

I could use my Four Deadly Black's skill back then.

But it's more than just me, having mana. For some reason, even though I'm from among the monsters, back in Tiny Boy, I couldn't use much of my skills.

My guess is just as follows, Tiny Boy had no mana.

Now, this elven girl, she has mana.

This body I'm dwelling in right now has mana, I can feel it.

The sensation right now is weaker than how strong it felt within Swordsman, but there was still mana.

In Tiny Boy's body, there was nothing.

It must've been another reason for me to have felt this weak when I was dwelling in him.

So, my point being, right now, I've got mana. And to top it off, I could make great use of it.

And how strong was I, when teaming up with mana?

Super strong.

Yes, yes. That much strong.

Which brings us to the moment of right now: The two elves' attention was no longer drawn on me.

I'd just taunted the quick-tempered one, and led him into slapping me.

And so he did.

His wide opened palm didn't take long to come slamming itself upon my left cheek.

It was like a blast.

It hurt, of course.

But it was worth it.

I successfully stirred anger between them.

From what I recalled, they weren't getting along that well, back in the inn.

And I must've seen it correctly, 'cause right now, they really weren't paying me too much mind.

The two of them were probably too busy getting mad at each other.

I glanced at it.

It was in the corner of my left eye.

The door of the carriage.

I breathed in and out.

My senses were enhanced.

And it was time to go.

Slam!

All at once, I rushed and slammed it open.

I didn't even press the handle to open it normally, no.

I just busted it from inside.

And immediately after my foot landed on the ground, "Quick Pace!" I shouted.

Don't ask me why I shouted it.

Woosh!

It just felt like the epic thing to do. So I just sort of did.

Mhmm. And come to think of it, now, I was right about the mana thing I just talked about. But I was wrong at the same time, too.

Right and wrong, in both good ways.

I can feel that there's far less mana in that body--That I was right about.

Swordsman's body was full of energy.

Still, though.

I was wrong to underestimate myself.

The speeds were equally matched.

Does that mean that as long as I have mana points, I can just pull off any of my copied skills, just like that?

Man, being me sure is convenient for once.

I smiled.

And here goes another one, "Quick Pace!"

Woosh!

"What's that?! Did the princess hide her strength ever since the beginning?!"

Sorry, Calming. I tried to warn you at least.

"Shaddap, no matter! We gotta take her back!"

Uh… Take me back, they say?

Didn't they take way too much time, though?

They really took a long time to react to my escape, so it was kind of a lost cause, I am tempted to say.

Heh.

I was long since gone.

"Quick Pace!"

Woosh!
