"Those who live in a world abandoned by the gods, where evolution has stagnated and is slowly decaying."

As I wandered around the university campus, a strange voice suddenly echoed in my head.

However, when I looked around, everything was just as it usually was on the campus.

I decided to sit down at a nearby table in the cafeteria to avoid arousing suspicion.

"I am the one who travels from world to world."

While still seated, I looked around at the faces of the people around me, but none of them seemed surprised or confused.

It seems that this voice is only audible to me (though it's possible others are just as good at hiding their reactions).

"I am the one who brings change to a world that has stagnated."

Still, it appears that the world we live in has been abandoned by the gods.

Indeed, over the past few decades, no new technology has been developed, and issues with food and war have become insurmountable. But to be abandoned like this, I think the gods are pretty irresponsible.

"Ah, yeah. I really don't feel like speaking so formally. So, from now on, I'll be more casual. After all, hardly anyone can hear this voice."

Hey!?

It suddenly became so casual!? And the voice, which was previously of unknown gender and age, suddenly turned into a little girl's voice!

No, no, no. I ended up standing up abruptly, and now people are looking at me strangely.

I pretended to be adjusting my seat and quietly sat back down.

"Well, as I said, I will save this world and interfere with it to advance my research."

... What do you plan to do...? And I have a really bad feeling about this.

"Anyway, those who can hear this voice now. Yeah, that's right. You guys, you guys."

... I'm breaking out in a strange sweat. This is bad. Something is definitely wrong, and my almost non-existent instincts, dulled by peace, are screaming.

"You guys will have to stop being human."

"Whaaaaaat!?"

I completely forgot about the people around me and ended up shouting without thinking.

This is bad. The looks I'm getting are really painful. I need to move from here.

So, while trying to avoid the "What is he doing?" looks from the people around me, I moved to an empty classroom in the university. If I get the chance, I'd like to get back at the owner of the little girl's voice for this.

"Hahaha! You guys are all quite surprised, aren't you? Hey, you, you're driving a car, so pay attention. And you, you're in the middle of a gunfight. Lower your head, you're being targeted. Puhuhu, getting distracted by the voice and messing up your acting, you really lack focus."

...

Ah, yeah. Everyone is indeed surprised. In fact, compared to the people who were just mentioned, my situation is much better. I just got some strange looks.

And don't talk to people in such situations.

"Well, I'll give you the details later, but for now, just click."

"Huh?"

And my vision was enveloped in darkness.
