"I-am-Nano-nice-to-meet-you"

"nice to meet you too What did you say about my appearance"

"your-hair-is-changed-to-a-grayish-white-and-your-face-seems-to-have-a-patch of-white-on-it-on-the- right- side"

"Thanks for letting me know"

"How-could-you-not-know-about-your-own-appearance-changing-calculating. calculating.calculating.calculating(ding)-explanation-new-skill-acquired"

"how di- never mind Can you tell Koi-a-Guri I'm ready for the mission"

"he's-ready-to meet-you-now"

"wha-huh tell him I'm on my way"

'luckily there was a bathroom on each floor so right before I got to Koi-a-guriIi was able to check on my appearance and it was just like Nano said there was a white blotch on the right side of my face and my hair changed to a grayish white besides that I looked exactly the same from when I was back on Earth which didn't make sense to me because I didn't transmigrate and I couldn't have reincarnate so what happened to me.'

"Any idea who's on this mission with me Koi-a-guri"

"yeah you're working with Heimushi and Kakure"

"oh okay where are they"

"they're probably down at the front door waiting for you now"

'I was a little mad that Nano didn't just tell me to go to the front door but that could have been my own fault for not seeing them but I also didn't know what they looked like so'

"Nice to meet you HeiMushi and Kakure" In front of the door was a man with long green hair down past his waist and it seemed to be all purple clothing with several weapons hidden inside of the outfit. in the scar on his right eye. Next to him was a robot with a caterpillar at the helm'

"so where are we going?".

"We don't exactly know It's in the middle of nowhere so it could be anything," said the caterpillar man childishly.

"I hate to say it but that kid right," said the man with green hair.

"let's go"

'as we were getting into the carriage I used it as an opportunity to use (beginnings of expertise)'

' trying to have to think about how cool these skills might be later on I asked"How long till we're there"

"Who cares have a little patience," Kakure said with a stern tone.

"Anywhere from 2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes," I said to Heimushi with joy.

' I hesitated a little before I asked" Eyes told me you have to tell me your stories If you don't want to you don't have to I just needed something to take up the time"

"It's fine my story isn't even that sad don't think didn't even last long thanks to the Guildmaster they were experimenting with magical chemicals to see how they react to the brain they tested it on me because I was supposed to believe a rare of caterpillar I just gained my intelligence so when I was freed it was fun I didn't actually have anything that I lost, unlike others. He said with a slight quitter quiver in his robotic voice.

"come on you too"

"I'm going to do this story I had at least going to see if you're anything like those damned nobles" As he said this his body shifted and he was no longer human he was a crocodile man.

"Why do you do that to yourself," I said wondering why you would change to a human in a guild full of freaks already what's wrong with him.'

" even though our kingdom is full of corruption and weird laws that limit the people. They all can tolerate it That's how it works but the problem is the beast kin. See they used to live peacefully with us but over time they kept doing little law after little law until everybody hated us some were separated and some were killed but for the crocodile beast kin it was a massacre an extinction that was supposed to be an extinction if not for me. In order to survive I had to sit at the bottom of a lake for 2 days.

"thanks to this my magic had adapted to the swamp enough that I was able to mold the mud into pretty much anything but that wasn't enough to look human Eventually I got so good at it I got another skill allowing me to look human completely that's when I met the guild, Master. I was at an orphanage aimlessly for a few years dreading everything that was part of my daily life. Sitting there helpless as I had no skill and no why are you even getting my revenge because they were the government what was I supposed to do? Then the Guild Master helped me see out of that darkness"

' their life story is not a joke I have to remember this. And they are not a bag of skills They are people who have been through things that I will never even dream of Why should I use them like this? Better yet why is the government so corrupt in this world What's so fun about these goddamn experiments that they would do these things what's so bad about being a crocodile. What madness drove them to make eyes watch his friends as they were tortured was this just a game to them is everything a game in them?

'looking over at William both of them looked closely as his skin became all pale porcelain white like a vase and the carriage seemed to get a little colder as they saw giant wings on his back folded down barely fitting inside the carriage.'

"Luckily I can turn it off but I wanted to at least show you guys"

'I mostly did this so I could relate to them even if it was just from a skill'
