The Simulator Tries to Save the World

I can't write a blurb (pigeon buries its head and sobs.jpg)

Blurb:

Ah.

The simulator is really working hard to stop me from destroying the world.

I'm crying so hard.

Plot-focused.

I can't write a blurb, so here are a few snippets~

Snippet One (Naruto world):

A pink-eyed girl stood high above Konoha, looking down at the ninja below. Behind her stood her own Twelve Kizuki.

Nanako, once one of the Uchiha clan's surviving orphans, was now a violent Demon King who ruled with an iron fist and schemed at every turn. She said, "This scene wasn't supposed to be performed by me. But I've grown impatient waiting for the play of Konoha's destruction, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and replace the actors originally cast for the roles."

"Hand over Shimura Danzo. Before the eyes of the entire world, this deeply wicked man will be given the ultimate punishment."

"Or you can try your hardest to fight back. But resistance always comes at a cost, one way or another."

She looked at the civilians who had not yet fully evacuated Konoha. "That cost may be as heavy as a mountain to you, but to me, it weighs no more than a feather."

Snippet Two (Demon Slayer world):

"Nanako, Nezuko, let's go out and explore the streets together later. There's a festival today, so there'll be lots of delicious food and fun things to do."

The eldest Kamado son opened the door and shared the good news with his two younger sisters inside. He had short, dark red hair.

"Yes, brother!"

The pink-eyed girl answered eagerly, then took the hand of the girl beside her, who had the same hair and eye color. "Nanako, want to come with us?"

The girl's expression was as cool as ever, but her aura was completely different from the one she showed her subordinates: peaceful and gentle.

She gazed quietly at the siblings before her and slowly nodded. "All right, Brother Tanjiro, Sister Nezuko."

Kamado Nezuko's eyes curved into happy crescents. She leaned toward her adoptive little sister and hugged her tightly.

The eldest Kamado son gently patted both girls on the head.

This warm life would go on and on.

Demon King Nanako would tear apart any enemy who tried to destroy that warmth, ripping them limb from limb.

Snippet Three (Bungo Stray Dogs world):

On the giant screen outside a high-rise in the commercial district, a film and a new music video starring a black-haired, black-eyed girl played in constant rotation. The people of Yokohama were used to rich fans buying out the screen, and even placed bets on how many days this fan would keep it booked.

"I'm home, Papa Oda!" "And Sakurako, Kosuke, Shinji, Yu, and Katsumi!"

The girl on the screen walked into a detached house, a bright, cheerful smile on her face.

"Ah... you're back, Nanako."

Her guardian opened the door. With stubble on his chin, he rubbed his head and looked listless, as if he hadn't slept well in days. "Sakurako and the others' school organized a trip. They should be in Hokkaido by now."

Nanako, in her human form, nodded in realization. "No wonder I didn't see them."

Her guardian felt the stubble on his chin. "Sorry, let me go freshen up first. The Detective Agency had a case a few days ago. The culprit had a rather troublesome ability, and we'd been tailing him for days. We tried to take him down several times and failed. Then yesterday, a kind-hearted person with impressive skills happened to stop him while shopping in the commercial district, and we finally caught him."

"What a coincidence!"

Laughter rippled through human Nanako's black eyes. She seemed to have no idea that she was the one who had sent someone to the commercial district to buy things for her yesterday.

After tidying himself up, her guardian went into the living room and gently patted the black-haired girl he hadn't seen in a while. "How have things been? You haven't gotten mixed up in any trouble, have you?"

Human Nanako shook her head. "Nope. Things have been very peaceful lately."

Only... remembering her recent discovery made human Nanako's smile even brighter.

Odasaku didn't miss the expression. His hand paused as he gently touched the girl's head. He spoke with a note of helplessness in his voice. "Try to do less dangerous research, Nanako."

"Especially research like the project you were working on before, developing all those dangerous weapons. Try to do less of that. I trust you with those weapons, but it wouldn't be good if they got leaked."

"Yes, Papa Oda! Nanako understands!"

She really hadn't been doing weapons research lately.

Recently, she'd become interested in research related to human cognition.

The black-haired girl smiled brightly. Just thinking about the implications of this theory made her so excited she could hardly contain herself.

"That's good."

But... Odasaku knew every little expression his adopted daughter of many years made. That radiant, delighted smile...

Odasaku straightened up and gently placed both hands on the girl's shoulders, looking into her black hair and deep blue eyes. "Nanako, promise me that no matter what you discover, you'll do your best not to let bad people use it, all right?"

He knew his adopted daughter, who had countless secrets, could do that.

Human Nanako paused. She looked at her guardian, who was like a father and an older brother to her, and saw how serious he was. She nodded gently. Her smile was no longer as radiant as before, but it was far more comforting. This was the normal smile she always showed her family.

"All right, Papa Oda. I promise."

Her slender fingers curled around his rough ones, sealing their promise.

I promise you, I will do my utmost to restrain the deep hatred for the world that returned with me.

Snippet Four (Detective Conan):

The two high school girls in front of the black-haired girl had been defeated one after another by their attackers. A vicious robber was heading her way.

"Hand over your money, or leave your life behind, miss."

The robber gave the impeccably dressed girl a huge grin. "I don't want much, just a billion. That shouldn't be a big deal for you, right?"

The black-haired girl hadn't even turned to face the robber, as if she'd only just noticed someone standing beside her. She turned to look at him, lowered her purple-tinted glasses slightly, and revealed a pair of pink, slit-pupiled eyes.

"Are you... talking to me?"

In the room next door, two male guests paced anxiously. Seeing how calm and composed the white-haired young man beside them was, they flew into a rage.

"Aren't you Miss Nanako's bodyguard? Your employer is in danger! How can you be so calm?!"

"Please don't worry, Mr. Hattori and Mr. Edogawa."

Behind the white-haired young man's dark lenses, his eyes, marked with the number Upper Rank Three, quietly watched the room next door, as if he could see through the thick wall to the pink-eyed girl on the other side.

"Lady Nanako... will be fine."
