The Most Unremarkable True Protagonist

[Third-person narration, with a powerful, carefree heroine] This is a universe where many worlds coexist, but every world follows the same rule: fight for the "protagonist halo."

The player ranked first holds the "protagonist halo" and guides the world's development.

Players ranked 2 through 10 all covet the protagonist halo.

Every protagonist and contender for the title is watched by the entire world.

You ask about me?

Ah, I'm neither a protagonist nor a contender. I'm just an ordinary owner of an audiovisual shop.

Drinking tea, fishing, walking my birds, teasing my cats, and enjoying life.

The only problem is that all my close friends are protagonists from different worlds, which can cause me a little trouble. For example:

Close Friend A complains: Nine contenders have teamed up to kill me. I don't think I can hold out much longer.

Close Friend A works part-time at my audiovisual shop, diligently doing the job and giving me the chance to fish outside all day.

For the sake of my leisurely fishing time...

All right, problem solved.

Close Friend B cries: The uncanny is invading too fast. At this rate, I feel like I'm going to become one of them.

Close Friend B has a gorgeous face. It absolutely cannot be twisted by the uncanny. That would be such a waste.

For the sake of my aesthetic preferences...

All right, problem solved.

Close Friend C sighs: We failed to clear the game, and an endless apocalypse has descended. The world looks like it's about to end. Let's have one last drink together!

I have to admit, Close Friend C is an excellent mixologist.

For the sake of this drink...

All right, problem solved.

Close Friend D comes to confess their love to me...

Hmm? I can kick this one out. That counts as solving it too.

Close Friend E...

All right, I know I have a lot of close friends. But they're all protagonists in their own worlds, and my audiovisual shop is the only safe haven where they can let their guard down.

I'm broke, unkempt, and carefree.

So what?

Life as the hidden true protagonist is just so plain and simple.

Of course, making friends with me won't help you become a protagonist of the world.

If you want to meet me, work hard to become the protagonist of your world.
