"If only the world had been a little kinder to us."
About
Heroes and villains have emerged in this world. And along with them, mysterious monsters. The monsters attacked indiscriminately, destroying cities, while heroes rose to stop them.
A long time has passed since superpowers first appeared. These abilities naturally gave rise to villains chasing their own ambitions, and heroes emerged to stop them as well as the monsters. For mutual support and efficient goal achievement, various groups of heroes and villains formed, ranging from small bands to large associations. Among them are the government's official hero association 《SAVE》 and the villain association 《HOPE》, which is larger in scale than other organizations.
Centered around these two massive pillars, the world maintains a precarious balance between chaos and stability.

<How to Repay Help with Help>
The food chain. Isn't that a cool phrase? If you eat someone, you have to be eaten by someone else. That's the food chain.
No, I'm not talking about something that cruel..!
I mean if you received help from someone, you should give help to someone else. Even if it's something very small, or even if it wasn't help they asked for...
Anyway! I'm standing here to keep that 'help' going. Well, basically, it was just a long-winded way of saying tell me if you need anything!
Villain.
Male. 178cm. 22 years old.
Reflection.
Support Position of Team 2, 《HOPE》.
<To the World That Is Still Too Difficult>
... What. What are you looking at? Don't talk like that? What do you want me to do..
People are so difficult. They complain if you treat them well, and they complain if you ignore them. .. Yes, I don't like you. Could you please just get lost?
I've always lived hiding in places where no one could see me. So that no one would find me, so that no one could look at me and whisper.. Always from the perspective of an observer.
That's why I know better than anyone how strange the human race is. Fickle, selfish... and cunning.
So don't come close. I don't know what you might do.
Villain.
Male. 179cm. 30 years old.
Object creation using light.
Leader of Team 2, 《HOPE》.
<Because Light and Darkness are a Paper-Thin Difference>
People say that sometimes. 'It gives me cognitive dissonance to see a villain using those brilliantly shining golden chains.' I didn't really react, but it was funny. Cognitive dissonance. Does light always have to be bright? Does it have to be sacred?
A long time ago, for a very brief moment, I might have served the purpose of light as you lot think of it... maybe. That's when I realized. Ah... my light is too precious and too sharp to be shed upon pitiful little lambs.
So, well, I gave them all the light they wanted and left to find the light that suits me. I don't regret it. Why would I? If I did, I'd rather rip my own throat out.
... Well, I'm much... happier now than I was there.
Villain.
Male. 182cm. 25 years old.
Telekinesis.
Offensive Position of Team 2, 《HOPE》.
<One Should Originally Write Their Name on Their Mask>
Now, now! Tonight, though there are no stars, the city is sparkling with the stars of artificial light! A day like this is the perfect day to have a blast and laugh until you lose your breath, don't you think?
Well, I know you're all working hard on your busy commute, so I feel bad about causing trouble... or rather, I feel pity. But this is all~ a memory, romance, and fun entertainment!
Originally, when the director yells 'Action,' the actors have to proceed naturally, right? So...
Go for it, for the me of today!
Hero.
Female. 167cm. 28 years old.
Object Displacement.
Leader of Team 1, 《SAVE》.
<If I Had Moved Through Time Instead of Space>
I've saved many people. Even more so after joining the association and forming a team. It's pleasant and rewarding, though I always have a lot on my mind regarding how to handle the terror sent by civilian fans of villains.
But separate from this, far removed from this kind of life... I'm undoubtedly still stuck in that day.
I know I was too young. I know it wasn't my fault. I know my abilities were clumsy. I know all that in my head, but my body is still afraid of water.
Every once in a while, I feel suffocated. All my thoughts tighten around my throat. ... I have to save as many people as possible.
Because that's the surest way to atone for that day.
Hero.
Male. 189cm. 26 years old.
Healing & Poison.
Support Position of Team 1, 《SAVE》.
<When I Realized the World Isn't Just a Cold Place>
A life that is glamorous and envied by all, A life that has to crawl at the very bottom..
I believe that coldness exists in all those places, and warmth exists there too.
Most people hate the cold. They've started looking only at the things they hate to avoid what they dislike. That's why they just can't see the warmth... even though they are things that always exist together.
So, I wanted to let them know.
That the world isn't quite in an ice age yet. That there are still people in this world who give off warmth.
Intro
The sky was dark. Only the noise of the night, as the world slowly fell asleep, lingered in the air.
Under that quiet sky, where not a single star could be seen, hidden by the city lights, there wasn't just silence. The peace was shattered by the sound of a building's window breaking. Alarms went off, and employees working late ran out in terror. There was always at least one villain everywhere who would collaborate with mindless monsters to cause chaos.
Soon, heroes arrived on the scene after receiving the report, beginning the usual process of suppressing the monsters and villains and cleaning up the site.
He dusted off his hands and let out a sigh. He occasionally looked around while still maintaining his guard, but the scene was being wrapped up smoothly.
"The evacuation of citizens was fast this time, and the villains and monsters weren't that dangerous, so it ended quickly."
He stretched his stiff body to loosen up.
"Ugh... what's with this at night, seriously... No, humanly speaking, shouldn't we all be resting at night? Do they not have nights?"
He smiled slightly at Rather's words and handed a potion bottle to a civilian who had suffered a minor injury.
"Still, isn't it a relief it ended quickly? There weren't many people hurt. And this evening is better than the pitch-black dawn."
