Chapter 27 - Something's off (Part 1)

Zora and Colville quickly made their way over to Makoto. "Nade are you fine, you don't look hurt, did something happen?!" Colville said sounding more like a worried mother than a friend.

"Yeah I am fine, by ability made sure I wouldn't die." Makoto made sure to slightly alter his voice to sound more like me, but if he could have done it all along why now of all time?

"Let's kill the remaining goblins and all complete the mission, and where is Pasha?" But his answer quickly got answer when Brunilda and Pasha arrived with Pasha seemingly having recovered a great deal in such a short time.

But what was truly the deference between humans and monsters? Was it truly only because Mayur used to be a human I cared? What was wrong with me, I mean, I never had anything against the monsters, but I had to complete the mission and they just happen to be here or was this just an excuse to make me fell better about myself, but I quickly got snapped out of my thoughts when I heard them continue their conversation and I had other things to worry about.

"Yea, let's complete it as fast as possible." Pasha said with an expression you couldn't tell if he was sad, annoyed or angry.

"Pasha! It isn't the real me! Hello?!" I tried to yell and even try to touch Pasha, but he couldn't hear me and I faced right through him when I tried to touch him.

I tried to talk to Makoto, but he just ignored me and started killing goblins with them, it took them a while, but they all eventually got the 100 monster kills they needed and as they all finished off the last monster they needed before reaching 100 monsters killed a message rang in their ears.

I couldn't see what Pasha, Brunilda and Colville got from the message, but I could see what it said on the one me and Makoto got, weird we both got the same message, does that mean the system knows the difference between us or does it treat us at the same?

(You have killed 100 monster and completed your mission)

(Unfortunately your ability "true immortal" can't be upgraded, please choose an ability you would like to unlock)

But before I could even get a look at the abilities I could choose Makoto had already picked one and the system had closed.

I heard Zora and Colville yell out in excitement with both of them yelling. "My ability has been upgraded!" As both of them tried out their new upgraded ability Pasha walked over to Makoto and said out loud. "Let's make out way back to the camp." They all nodded and went back to the camp, while all I could do was follow them, they even made small talk on whatever without any problems getting to camp.

"That was fast, you all killed the 100 goblins each already?" Nyx said looking like she just woke up with Henry having made some food on the campfire, they all sat down and began to chew down on their food, until Pasha noticed something. "Hey Nade, your hair, it seems we need to dye it already."

"Is some of my hair brown?" Makoto said, But Pasha quickly replied with. "No it's blue."

But Zora seemed like she finally had a realisation of something she should already have had. "Now that you mention it, I haven't had the need to dye my hair for some time now, and it should have worn off by now."

"You didn't use any permanent hair color either back on earth, Zora?" Makoto asked.

"No, I liked to change my hair colour a lot, but it's still weird my red hair colour is stil here." They both went quiet with Zora opening her mouth with. "Pasha and Colville have yo-" Before she could finish her sentence, Pasha replied with. "No I don't dye my hair." With Colville following up with. "Yea, I don't dye my hair either."

"But why is my hair going blue then and not brown?" Makoto said.

"Zora have you dyed your hair since you came to this world?" Makoto asked with Zora replying with. "Not since I got transported to this world."

Both Zora and Makoto fell into a wonder about the situation, they were also the only 2 who even cared enough to think this much about it, but they couldn't get an answer about this question they had so they ended up saying that, whatever hair colour they had before coming to this world became their real hair colour in this new world.

"I am guessing both of you were from the north then since you dyed your hair." Colville said with Zora and Makoto nodding along, but after some time around the campfire with all of them talking and me just having to watch, Colville and Zora both decided to return to their respective kingdoms.

"Hope to work together with all of you again!" Colville said before disappearing walking the same direction the sun was in, and before Zora left she yelled out. "You better dye your hair red again Nade or I will come kick your ass!"

But at last it was our turn to make our way home, they quickly packed up their things with me still having to watch everything, Pasha had suggested to get a carriage on their way back so him and "Nade" could rest, with all of them agreeing to it since they were in no big rush to get back.

The sun was setting as they were riding back to the kingdom, they were all in the back while someone else drove the carriage, Nyx and Henry were both sleeping on Makoto's should with Pasha sitting on the opposite side to Makoto with Brunilda sleeping on his shoulder.

"Did you also get to upgrade your ability Nade?" Pasha asked looking down on the floor, with Makoto quickly replying with. "I couldn't, but I got a different ability since I couldn't." Makoto said with a smile on his face.

"I asked Nade, not you, I can tell you aren't Nade." Pasha said looking at Makoto with a serious expression with Makoto returning with a smirk.
