When I was young, I loved watching.superhero movies. I wanted to be like them one day and save people from evil.But when I grew up,I was struck by the fact that this is a fantasy and being a hero is nonsense.

I'm Natalie Core , your normal otaku girl and my story begin with :
"argh,another normal day"Natalie
"I don't understand how people can live the same day for the million time and stay mentally sane"Natalie
After another boring day at school I stopped at the grocery store to buy some snacks
When I was going to the cashier to pay, I found a masked man with a gun threatening the cashier girl.He has a young boy as a hostage. He seems to be the son of the cashier girl.
"Get all the money out quickly before I unload the gun to the boy's head!!!"kidnapper
I quickly hid before he saw me.The boy is trembling with fear and tears in his eyes, not daring to make any sound. While the cashier girl was taking out the money in fear.
Gathering all my non-existent courage, I slowly crept up to the kidnapper.I grabbed sticks that I got from I don't know where. Not great but it's the best I can do.
The cashier girl noticed me but acted like she didn't see. As she slowed herself down to give me time, I almost reached the kidnapper. I swung the broom as hard as I could at the kidnapper's head.
*crush*
The kidnapper fell to the ground from the blow and his mask fell off.I quickly pulled the boy behind me and prepared to strike again.
but
*Bang*
He was faster than me. I looked down to find a hole in my right breast.After a moment, my mind grasped the pain.I tried to scream, but for some reason, no sound came out.The killer fled in fear afterwards.
So I died, but at least it wasn't useless.For some reason I'm still around like a ghost.What happened was that thanks to the camera in the store, the killer was caught. I saw everything from the murderer's trial to my family's reaction to the news and my funeral.
I went to my funerals - strange thing to say -And I found more guests than I thought.
I found my classmates And my school teachers And the cashier girl and the child and the people of the neighborhood all there.
Why are they here?
"My deepest condolences to you Mr. and Mrs.core"Mr. Arun
Mr. Arun ، my history teacher
"The news of her death was a shock. I considered her like my daughter. I had never seen a good girl like her before My words are the words of all the teachers of the school. She used to help the teachers in her spare time and resolve conflicts between the students"Mr. Arun
"Thanks Mr. Arun for taking care of our daughter"Mr.core
After a few words Mr. Arun left and another person came to offer his condolences.It was a huge person, with a scary face.I knew him from school
"H..Hello, my name is Luther. Natalie's classmate from school. My condolences to you.I will never forget Natalie's kindness to me. When I moved to school, everyone was afraid of me because of my appearance.But Natalie was not afraid of me and took the initiative to talk to me and introduce me to the rest of the class. Thanks to her, no one is afraid of me anymore. I am very grateful to her."Luther
Everyone was afraid of Luther because he look like a gangster, but I saw something in him that no one else saw.
lonliness
It was clear to me as an introverted person. I used to feel lonely a lot in the past because I didn't know how to make friends. Now I'm getting better and I'm starting to come out a little bit from my shell.So I mustered up my courage and went to talk to him and found out that he is actually a shy person.
"She helped me when my son was lost"
"She helped me when I was being bullied"
"She helped me find my lost cat"
"She helped me when everyone refused to help me"
"She helped me..."
"She helped me..."
"She helped me..."
"She helped me..."
l....I do not know what to say.The little things I have done for others....are not small for them.
How did I not notice that?
"She saved me and my mother. She is a wonderful person. When I grow up, I want to be like her. She is my hero."
These words fell like an arrow that pierced my heart.
Am I a hero?
I returned to the dream that I gave up a long time ago.I gave it up because I thought it was unreal. But I was wrong.
[ Do you understand now? You don't need superpowers to be a hero.]????
" who says that!!?"Natalie
[ Consider this a small gift, I'm sure you'll love it,Sera]????
I started to feel my consciousness slowly fading away. It seemed like my time was up.I closed my eyes for the last time...or so I thought.
