Yeah I saved someone, so what?

Okay, okay, you caught me. I have been slacking off. Lately, I don't know why; it's just I have been feeling like not doing much in the past few weeks after my graduation. We threw a party and all, and Master left already. Yet, I'm not motivated or feel any drive now. Don't get me wrong, I wanna do stuff, but the way everyone has been talking about me is comprehensively, slowly turning me off. Dam, you, whoever is in charge of reincarnations! Why did you make me a girl, uh?! You wanted me to have an impossible pursuit of conquering the world, uh?!.

Mom has been changing her attitude as well, not just Dad. She has been recently teaching me how to do more chores. I already knew how to do the dishes and stuff, but now she's preparing me for marriage or something; come on, people, I'm not even 10 yet, let me chill a little bit more! I want to avoid responsibilities!

Today, though, I managed to finish all those dreadful chores Mom wanted to be done, so I now have permission to go outside to play with my friends! Hey, shut up! I'm a kid again, okay?! Do you seriously think I would let childhood go by without any fun?, well think again, pal, back in my original life, I never had childhood friends or ever went to play outside really, since my parents were very busy people, I grew up stuck to a tablet half of the day, so you bet your ass that now that I can redo it I will go outside and play like I couldn't in my previous life!

- Oh, hey, look, guys, it's Yui!

- just on time, Yui. Wanna play hide and seek with us? we need someone to play the seeker

- hey, no fair, I get the worst role!

- ahaha well, that's what you get for getting here late ;p

So I turn around facing a wall and immediately begin to count down from sixty, making everyone else run like the wind, some of the literally, those goddam cheaters! How am I going to find them if they run to the moon?! Dam, well, just keep counting down. I have a plan to find all of them. Hehe, the most recent spell, ahahaha. I will flood those little rats out of their hiding spot, Nyaaa ahahahaha! Well, at least that would be nice; if I do that, though, they will most likely all drown to death, so let's not do that. Wrapping up the countdown, I begin looking for all of them, finding the most boosted players literally within 60 seconds of the match. Oh gosh, they're so dumb to think I wouldn't check right next to me, ahaha. They thought hiding in plain sight was a big brain move, such idiots!

Then, in the middle of the game, I felt a strange feeling of Deja vu; a strange spine chill began going down my spine. As I was looking for the others, I could sense danger, so I stopped seeking refuge next to a rock near the town's river. Keeping quiet, I saw men in knightly armor carrying something inside a big bag, and then the bag started moving. I froze in place. What in the hell? What are they dumping in the river that moves that much?.

The men move quickly. They tie, what is that? Uh?! An anchor?! Whoever was in that bag was in severe danger for sure. Then, while I was figuring out what that thing was, they had already dropped the bag into the river. Oh shit, it's not like I have a moral obligation to help, right? I'm just a little girl with meager strength stats, dam it, but I do know how to swim, and I have magic. No, no, no, let that thing down there. It'll be fine, no, I can't. I won't be able to sleep if I let something just drown to death!.

Having a severe dilemma on what to do, I don't think about it anymore, and so as soon as the men leave, I jump right into the cold water. Oh shit, it's cold! It's freezing cold. Panicking a bit for only a second, I manage to activate low-level mana skin, which allows the user to resist outside weather better; oh, that helped out a ton. There was no way I could withstand that cold water without it. Now, since the river is a bit mushy and dirty, it makes it hard and challenging to find the bag down there, but while blindly touching and sensing, I suddenly grab it. uuuuhgg it's so heavy!!!, I guess the anchor is the main problem, but not only the weight is a problem. Whatever this bag is made of, it's heavy-duty material. I'm gonna have to use an Ice axe to cut it. I'm sorry if I cut you a little, bud! I will heal you, I promise!.

Almost out of breath already, I push myself to my limits, summoning an Ice Axe, which I then use to cut the top part of the bag, letting whatever was inside escape, I then try to push up, but my body doesn't respond, I'm just slowly sinking lower and lower, the air inside my body, has no more available oxygen, oh shit now I did it, wait no. I'm the protagonist. I can't die yet! Author, do something!

  As I start to sink more and more, my lungs begin to fill up with water as my automatic response to breathing betrays me, trying to breathe water! fuck! This is awkward! It seems as though whatever was trapped is already at the surface. I can see it with my appraisal. Everything was going black, and then I suddenly hit the bottom of the river, my vision fading and my awareness vanishing. Was it worth it? I'm going to die. Was it worth trying? Dam, it was a short but good life. Goodbye forever ahhh~

- Dramatic music playing in the background -

My soul then leaves my body, as if this was JoJo's bizarre adventure story, you know what I mean, with clouds and a blue sky on top of me, as my soul becomes golden, as my HP quickly runs down, I don't wanna die but I'm about to! Ahh, ahhg, goodbye, cruel world! nahhhgg

The END?

[ Thank you for enjoying this novel's short run? ]

I wake up from my nonsense and just activate HP auto recovery, which gives me just about enough HP to keep me alive. However, I can't do much without oxygen but fight my HP depletion with HP auto recovery.

- Proficiency has reached the required level, water breathing skill unlocked, skill level 1, proficiency has reached the required level, HP auto recovery has increased from level 1 to level 2, as the holder of skill, seeker of justice, water breath level has increased to level 5.

The divine voice? Ah? Water breathing? Really? You cheater writer, how uncreative! You could've saved me a terrible problem if you had given me this ability before I dove in. For that I hate you, Miss Evil Writer!
