My youth story, a crossover anime, turns out, is FGO!

Makoto Aoki watched the show from the sidelines, having already roughly guessed this outcome.

Regarding the choice of the Lancer, Makoto Aoki had been wavering between Enkidu and Scáthach. He also originally considered Karna, but since Karna had already appeared in this Holy Grail War, he decided to leave it at that.

Both Enkidu and Scáthach are top-tier Servants.

Enkidu even possesses the Purification Noble Phantasm, "Wisdom of the People," which allows him to draw upon the earth's magical energy. He is also powerful and friendly to his Master.

After all, Enkidu likens himself to a weapon, and he will absolutely carry out his Master's decision.

However, now that Makoto Aoki has summoned Gilgamesh, he has to consider whether Enkidu's appearance will cause a chain reaction.

Although Gilgamesh's attitude is to avoid Enkidu, he is still Gilgamesh. What if he suddenly drinks the elixir of youth and insists on fighting? If Gilgamesh goes berserk, he has no confidence in controlling Gilgamesh.

Furthermore, more than the future, Makoto Aoki needs to consider the outcome of this Holy Grail War.

There is a very troublesome Servant in the Outer Holy Grail War, and yes, that's you, Achilles!

This guy with the heel is only lacking in attack power; in every other aspect, he's top-tier. He also has an outrageous Noble Phantasm called "The Unfading Flower of the Hero," meaning that divine attacks of a certain degree are ineffective against him.

Currently, among Makoto Aoki's side, only Gilgamesh and Kintoki Sakata possess divinity. However, Gilgamesh's compatibility with Achilles is not very good. Achilles also has a Noble Phantasm called "Sky Spear Tip," which pulls the opponent into a one-on-one Reality Marble, rendering other Noble Phantasms useless. The opponent can only fight by relying on their fists and feet and their own stats.

In terms of combat skills alone, it's hard to say that anyone could easily defeat Achilles; even his teacher Chiron was ultimately defeated by his own disciple.

As for Sakata Kintoki, firstly, his divinity is only D, so it's uncertain whether it will be effective; secondly, his agility is insufficient, making him a target and unable to keep up with Achilles' pace at all, since Achilles is too fast!

As for Enkidu, Makoto Aoki is mainly unsure of his abilities. As the "Chains of Heaven," he does have the effect of a divine law, but Enkidu himself does not possess divinity. Whether Enkidu's speed can keep up with Achilles is also unknown, since the two have never fought before.

Furthermore, Achilles has an incredible number of Noble Phantasms. His "Encircle the Small World" Noble Phantasm can even block Karna's God-Slaying Spear. Enkidu's "Chains of Heaven" is very strong, but it is not an Anti-World Noble Phantasm, so it is hard to say whether it can break through Achilles' defense.

Conversely, Scáthach has many advantages over Achilles.

Firstly, Scáthach possesses divinity, enough to harm Achilles. Her agility is also at least A-rank. Combined with god-slaying martial arts and rune magic, as well as the magical wisdom that allows her to utilize various skills, and her special attack against gods, she has a significant advantage over Achilles, Karna, and even Semiramis.

Of course, Enkidu also has these advantages. Enkidu can also adjust his own values ​​at will, and all of them are A's.

However, Achilles' "Spear of the Sky" is ineffective against women, meaning it cannot be used on Scáthach.

On the other hand, Enkidu's gender is unknown, and whether he falls within the scope of immunity is something Makoto Aoki is not entirely sure about. As a clay figure, he has the ability to freely adjust values, and whether "Sky Spear Tip" can block it is also unknown.

However, what troubles Makoto Aoki the most right now is the unknown.

In the end, it was Hachiman Hikigaya who made him make the choice.

Even though it's his own disguise, Makoto Aoki usually doesn't interfere on his own; it generally operates according to the Heroic Spirit's own personality.

In other words, the compatibility between the Master and the Master still exists.

Enkidu prefers people who are full of philanthropy, totalitarian, and always put themselves first—Hachiman Hikigaya is the complete opposite of this type.

Even if Enkidu's personality doesn't affect his obedience, Hachiman Hikigaya will probably have a harder time.

If we're comparing the growth potential of Hachiman Higashiya, Scáthach is undoubtedly better.

Hachiman Hikigaya is undoubtedly talented, but he has not made the most of it.

Lacking a bit of courage, he always loved to be a riddle teller; and because he was too self-deprecating, he often achieved his goals by hurting himself.

Coincidentally, Scáthach doesn't particularly like those who lack courage, and she is also an excellent teacher.

Hachiman Hikigaya is her Master, which means that Scáthach, who is known as her Master, will teach (or rather, force) Hachiman Hikigaya to muster up the courage to stop being a riddle teller and become a more popular person (this is probably impossible).

Makoto Aoki nodded inwardly, believing that under Scáthach's (our) guidance, Hachiman Hikigaya would soon become a truly responsible man and change his previous bad habits as a riddle-maker.

After all, the Riddler should get out of Gotham (bushi).

Everyone has a bright future, right? Makoto Aoki thinks he's so talented, he should praise himself a few more times.

Of course, if Hachiman Hikigaya knew what Makoto Aoki was thinking, he would probably be tempted to die with him.

Hachiman Hikigaya was unaware that his tragic fate was partly due to the machinations of his own friends; he simply wore a bitter expression, his dead fish eyes growing increasingly lifeless.

Then Scáthach taught him a lesson.

Then Makoto Aoki saw Hachiman Hikigaya standing straight, trying to make his dead fish eyes look bright, as if he wanted to show that he was happy, and he felt really awkward.

So, Makoto Aoki silently looked away.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who still wanted to ask his friends for help: ...I'm tired, let's destroy it.

Then, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a tremendous force pulling him over. Scáthach grasped his hand, and three bright red Command Seals were drawn on the back of his hand.

Hachiman Hikigaya felt a burning sensation on the back of his hand and instinctively touched it. Was this the Command Seal?

Makoto Aoki was extremely fortunate about this, because thanks to the Greater Grail ritual and Scáthach's proficiency in rune magic, Hachiman Hikigaya didn't need to sign a contract with Eriri and the others by kissing.

Even if it's just a sliver of consciousness, even if it's just his own pseudonym, he hasn't connected with it, but if they actually kissed, Aoki Makoto imagines feeling like ants crawling all over his body.

so weird.

Especially when he himself was right next to them.

Wearing a mask, Scáthach revealed only her crimson eyes, which were filled with indifference. She nodded slightly to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"The contract is established."

"Although I never intended to form an alliance with anyone, I will temporarily protect you during this war."

"Of course, be prepared, I have very strict requirements for my disciples."

Despite his inner turmoil, Hachiman Hikigaya had to maintain a facade of optimism.

"Yes--"
