[Comprehensive] BE saves the world

Regarding Yumeno's threat, to be honest, my first reaction was not fear, but...

"You really like your sister."

"Huh?" Tokitsuki Yumeno had a look of disgust on his face, "Are you out of your mind?"

I froze for a moment: "But you are not willing to kill for your sister..."

"Who would kill someone for that idiot!" Yumeno raised his voice angrily, "I'm reminding you! Idiot! Funo's 'personality' is—"

She stopped abruptly as if she regretted her slip of the tongue, and turned her head to the side in great displeasure.I stared blankly at her for a few seconds, and suddenly I realized something in my heart.

... Is this man, is he, a good man?

"Whether Funo is willing or not, people who approach her will always be targeted by death. Either commit suicide or kill. That is Funo's 'personality'." Tokitsuki Yumeno said reluctantly, "You still have your own The world needs to be saved, right? If you don’t want to die in this kind of place, stay away from Feng Nao, it’s for your own good and for her own good—although it doesn’t matter to me whether others live or die, but Feng Nao is actually... that idiot is very soft-hearted Yes. She would be very sad if a fellow like you died because of meeting her."

I looked at her quietly. Although the girl's face was full of disgust, she still made such a reminder.

— Indeed, this man is a good man.

The sliver of fear that was still there disappeared without a trace. I breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground, and leaned against the wall with my back relaxed.

Isn't that arrogant?I am proficient in business!

"Um... can I eat in the dream world?" I covered my face in embarrassment, "I... I'm a little thirsty."

Through the cracks of my fingers, I could clearly see that the girl's whole face twitched, and she couldn't help showing an expression of "did your brain fall into the gutter?", which made me even more embarrassed , couldn't help but bury her face even lower.

"...only wave soda."

Tokitsuki Yumeno snorted, and a bottle of pop soda slammed in front of me with a clang. Since it was in a dream world, the glass bottle didn't break, and the soda didn't spill out.The transparent soda has countless crystal bubbles, showing colorful colors under the light, and the glass marbles are floating up and down, like a small fish, flexible and cute.

"Thank you." I thanked the other party in a low voice, looking at this thing that often appears in Japanese comics with some curiosity, "It's so interesting, I haven't seen it before."

"Haven't you even drank pop soda?" Mengye seemed to be trying to hold back a "wow", but couldn't help the pitiful expression on his face, "It's really... Which remote place did you come from?"

"Hmm...another world?" I touched my neck and said a little embarrassedly.

It's not me who said, how did I write the plot in which the heroine nonchalantly told xx and xx that she came from another world? I said this line myself once... It's so embarrassing!What kind of galgame or Japanese light novel plot is this?

I don't know which nerve my answer touched her, Tokitsuki Yumeno's expression suddenly softened, she looked at me for a while, turned her back, and leaned against the wall, drinking the wave soda in her hand, While staring at a certain point in the void, after a while, she uttered two words in a low voice.

"……alike."

"Like...?" I looked over in confusion.

"Really, do idiots all look the same?" She was silent for a while, as if she was in an awkward situation with herself, before lowering her eyes to look at me, "You said you came from another world, and people from that world also Are they all idiots like you?"

"No, no, no——" I waved my hands again and again, and panickedly defended the average IQ of the people in the original world, "There are more people who are smarter than me than me, and I'm the stupid kind of person..."

"Really?" Tokitsuki Yumeno looked down at me, narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed an inexplicable smile, "So, you must have been bullied by those smart people a lot, right?"

I froze for a moment.

There was malice in that smile, but also anger.What was the source of that anger, I knew very well.

It was based on sympathy for those who had the same experience as oneself, and derived from the anger towards the bullying party.

Fragments of memories I thought I had forgotten resurfaced.

I used to... not when I was a girl, but earlier, I was an outgoing and familiar person.An enthusiastic kid who can chat for two hours with someone he doesn't know at all.

Why has it become like this?

Since when did I start to be afraid of getting along with people, and when did I feel so flustered that I didn’t know how to speak when I was in the sight of others?

Since when did I start to feel extremely disgusted with everything I do, and think over every word I say?

If I have to find a node, yes, it is probably from the fact that I will always be ridiculed for what I do, and my eyes will always be rolled when I say it. People who I thought were friends said to others, "I don't care about her. If you want to pester her, tell me how cheap she is"... It probably started at that time.

Like I said, I'm an idiot.

Smart people can handle it well, but stupid people can't handle these things.

So I can only deal with it in a stupid way-curling myself up, building thick walls with books and music, cutting myself off from other people, hiding in a fortress that will crush me to death one day.

Maybe he could see something from my expression, Tokitsuki Yumeno was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and patted my head.

Being comforted by a girl younger than me really makes people feel delicate... I thought about it, but I didn't shake her hand away.

"I had a friend once," she said softly, "that kid was also a fool to be friends with me and my sister."

I listened quietly, and as long as I raised my head slightly, I could see Yumeno's face and her expression at this moment.But instead of doing this, I lowered my head slightly and looked at my fingers.

"She's a bit like you, a guy who often says inappropriate things. Like a clown, ridiculously and pitifully trying to please everyone around her, anyone who denies her will make her sad, even if it's an annoying guy, even if it's Strangers are the same. Sensitive, clumsy, a little inferior and a little conceited... really a big fool."

Mengye's tone was full of hatred for iron and steel, but it also carried an unconcealable sadness.

"Actually, I didn't want to talk to that idiot at all at first, but Funo became friends with her first, so we always meet each other. If I beat her up, she will show that expression... I can't stand it, so I have no choice but to be friends with her." Mengye paused for a long time before continuing, "Obviously don't want to be friends with me."

"At that time, I was targeted. The reason is very boring. She always followed me around, so I was also targeted." Mengye suddenly changed into a rude tone and sped up the speed of speech, "Those guys are very annoying. She, it's even more annoying to see her messing with me, so..."

So what.

Even if she doesn't say it, I can guess it.

So that kid was bullied.

In the original novel, Kazuno Tokitsuki mentioned that the reason she dropped out of school was because her friend committed suicide because of being bullied.

Funo also tried to disguise herself and live in the normal world in a way that conforms to common sense, but this incident made her completely give up this attempt.

I think it might be the same for Yumeno.

I hesitated for a moment, raised my hand, and gently held Yumeno's hand.

"I think she will definitely not regret being friends with Mengye and you."

Tokitsuki Yumeno's breathing suddenly became rapid, she clenched her teeth, trying to pull her hand out.But I grabbed it very hard, and she couldn't break free for a while, so she could only stare at me viciously.

"You bastard...why do you say that?"

I didn't look at her, but at a distant memory.

A distant past that I may not be able to forget.

"Because you said I resemble her." I smiled, but I wasn't sure if the smile was ugly or not. "I want to please others because I really want friends. If I could have Mengye like you My friend, I will be very happy. No matter what others say, I will not regret it."

Yes, at that time, I really wanted friends.

Very good, no matter what the quarrel or whatever, you can still reconcile as before, even if you will dislike me, even if you will say that I did not do well, but you will not hate me, and you will not give up on my friends.

I think that girl must think so too.

"...What an idiot." Mengye sighed as if she was exhausted, she turned her face away, she didn't want me to see her expression, "Forget it, whatever, get out of this dream world quickly, don't Let me see your stupid face again."

Tsundere creatures are so difficult to deal with... When you poke her point, she will probably kick you...

Of course, I didn't say this sentence, not only because I didn't dare, but also because Tokitsuki Yumeno didn't give me a chance to speak at all, and drove me out of the dream with a wave of his hand.

In the weightlessness of the fall, I heard her voice.

"Also, 'double dream' is not used in that way, idiot. Concentrate on it and try to turn the whole dream world upside down - if you can't do this, then don't ruin my 'personality' .”

My eyes widened suddenly.

"Wait, the kind of words that are similar to teaching secrets have to be spoken in a way that monkeys can understand ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Then I saw ai's big face.

They are so close together that they have a face as big as a plate.

Wait, is Xiao Ke's face that big——? ? ?

"You're finally awake." AI raised his face, sat up straight, and yanked my head with his lion's tail, "Also, Tokitsuki Yumeno's favorability degree is 50, and the accumulative reward is the Iron Stake of Night's Cry x300... ...Should I say congratulations?"

I grabbed AI by the tail and threw it to the ground.

"You bastard, why didn't you tell me that the original owner is still alive? Congratulations, congratulations on your size! Do you know how I felt when I saw the original owner standing in front of me when I opened my eyes today?!"

Scared to death, okay? ?

AI tilted his head and looked at me: "I thought you were happy?"

I didn't!

I took a dozen deep breaths back and forth, restraining myself from strangling the stinky thing, and it took me a while before I asked the question I was more concerned about.

"Tokitsuki Yumeno... how did he become an arsonist?"

Ai jumped on my knee briskly, blinked at me with black bean eyes, and stated without any ups and downs.

"Didn't you guess it all? - Her friend committed suicide because of school bullying, so she burned down the houses of those guys who participated in the bullying. It's that simple." The lion puppet tilted its head, and its tone was a bit disapproving , "It's really hard for human beings to understand, since they have such a convenient 'personality', even if they want to kill them in the dream world without anyone noticing, it's easy - why do you have to use arson to be so troublesome and burn yourself the way?"

"So, you can't understand."

I sighed.

As a human being, there is nothing strange about doing such strange things.

Because only by letting the fire burn, can one's heart settle down.

Because I don't want to let everything disappear into the darkness silently, it seems like I have lost.

Because... wanting to punish that, not helping her friend, causing her to fall from the roof of the building with despair in her arms.

The reason why I can still maintain normal interpersonal relationships now... I can only say that society is the best training ground.

— After all, people have to eat, and food has to be bought with money.

No amount of fear and no amount of embarrassment can meet the actual needs. I don’t want to have to overcome my social phobia if I can’t pay the rent next month. This is the reality.

However, this is all based on the premise that I have chosen to compromise with this reality.

I want to live in this reality.

However, there are also children who cannot do this.

After the friend jumped off the roof, both Tokitsuki Funo and Tokitsuki Yumeno gave up this reality.

To be precise, they all gave up and continued to compromise with reality.

The sisters coincidentally chose their own way and obliterated themselves from society.

Tokitsuki Kazunai chose to wear black mourning clothes, pretending to be a dead person, and only avoided crowds in the dark.

Tokitsuki Yumeno chose to run away from home and became a serial arsonist. Finally, she completely abandoned the reality she hated and sank into the world of dreams.

"So, do you want to be like her?" Ai looked at me with indifferent eyes, "It's okay to abandon that reality."

I understand what it means.

Abandon the destroyed world here, and live in this world as 'Tokitsuki Yumeno' or 'Yae Yume'.

but……

"Don't say meaningless words." I sighed, "If I could simply abandon that reality, I wouldn't have followed you in the first place."

Ai stared at me, and after a while, nodded in relief.

"Well, then I can rest assured to let you get in touch with the next incident."

Its tone sounded extraordinarily pleasant.

"Bakugo Katsuki and the others have come into contact with a new case, which is a very weird cybercrime - people who used to live a normal life suddenly left a suicide note and committed suicide. After investigation, they are all related to an online community. The heroes are about to intervene in the investigation. This is a good opportunity for you to capture the explosive power and win yourself, right?"

There was a rather pleasant smile on the face of ai's lion puppet.

"After confirming that your will has not been shaken by thinking about the past, I can safely let you participate in this incident-after all, this incident is quite difficult."
