I was playing alone at home. Then a man appeared and said I was a princess. Even though you say you don't like it, they're dragging you along, right? When I came to my senses, it was already a different world. I asked him what he was doing and he comforted me by saving the world. Ah, what on earth do I want from an adolescent high school girl who has not yet been able to save my life, let alone the world? One girl tells you how to save the world. A story where anyone can save the world, an ordinary but not easy story. **Official Translations:** [Japanese](https://www.comico.jp/comic/8759)
