As a Native, I Resolve to Save the World

At some point, a group of inexplicable people showed up in this world.

Xia Youjie had been surrounded by these weirdos since childhood. They profoundly shaped his philosophy of life. After all, having a bunch of people constantly telling you not to cling too tightly to what is "right" is really annoying.

"We have to save you," they said.

"You'd be better off dying sooner," another group said.

Friends? Enemies?

He couldn't tell.

The only person he could trust was his best friend, Gojo Satoru. But that guy told him, "Our world is a game."

Fate drove him and his friends apart, putting them on opposing sides. Xia Youjie stared dazedly into the distance. How... had things ended up like this?

On a snowy street corner at the end, he said helplessly, "All the choices you made meant something... But, Satoru, this world can't make me smile from the bottom of my heart."

Gojo Satoru took off the blindfold that seemed to have grown onto his face. "I told you ages ago, you idiot, Xia Youjie! This world is actually ***, *********! Hey! Are you even listening?"

Xia Youjie: Am I imagining things? Why does it sound like Satoru is making beeping noises like a telegram?

Xia Youjie: So our world has already become a game. I think my memories have been erased like this many times. But now I can hear...

Gojo Satoru: Probably because the world thinks you're already dead. I'm grateful those players changed your fate, so I didn't lose you, but still...

Xia Youjie: I'll protect my world myself! (I'm not dying, and I'm coming back to life right away.)

On the battlefield where we protect the world, fortunately, we can still trust each other with our backs, just like before.

And there are plenty of other friends, too.

It's not the strong protecting the weak, but the weak making themselves strong. That's my revised version of what's right.

Here, you'll find:

"Why Are There So Many Weirdos in Such an Ordinary World?": Special mention to certain players, a certain elementary-school detective, a certain killer tennis player, and so on...
