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

"How cold she is, as expected of a rich family's heiress."

"What indifference? What others say makes sense. What do those androids have to do with us?"

It must be said that while Kaguya Shinomiya's rational thinking is certainly reasonable, it is not very likable.

"Our current strategy is to lie in wait, until both sides are exhausted, and then finish them off."

"The androids are indeed pitiful, but they are located in the castle of Yggdrasil, which is the Black Faction's fortress. It is their most heavily defended place, and we cannot attack it now. After all, once exposed, we will easily be surrounded by both sides."

"Of course, once both sides have suffered heavy losses, we can consider how to handle this matter."

Kaguya Shinomiya's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Hachiman Hikigaya seemed unable to find a reason to refute them.

However, by the time both sides are severely weakened, most of the androids will be dead.

Faced with Kaguya Shinomiya, who was superior to others in every aspect and truly above others, Hachiman Hikigaya subconsciously wanted to retreat.

His past experiences taught him that someone like him could not possibly stand up against the higher castes.

To protect oneself and to maintain the last shred of dignity, avoiding the situation is perfectly normal.

In fact, Hachiman Hikigaya almost did just that.

However, someone is watching him closely.

Hachiman Hikigaya was very perceptive of other people's emotions, and he noticed Scáthach's sudden, sharp gaze just as he was about to back away.

If we run away now, Scáthach will definitely teach us a lesson.

Since he was going to die whether he went forward or retreated, Hachiman Hikigaya gritted his teeth and charged forward with the mindset of committing suicide.

"I know that those androids have nothing to do with us."

Hachiman Hikigaya knew all too well how to strike someone with a single blow and how to hit their most vulnerable spot; he was, in fact, a very formidable figure.

However, he always ran away, always retreated, and always looked down on himself.

However, when he's going all out, that sharp thinking helps him seize the opportunity to win.

“From a rational perspective, saving them would undoubtedly be a reckless act.”

"But what if it comes from the heart?"

Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes gleamed, just like his countless self-destructions before; this time, he was the one who destroyed others.

"Ask yourself, if you can't even hear the cries of these people, what kind of hero are you!"

Kaguya Shinomiya's crimson eyes widened suddenly. Her clever mind allowed her to immediately understand Hachiman Hikigaya's meaning. She instantly turned her head to look at her Servant, Kintoki Sakata.

The blond, blue-eyed boy looked thoughtful, but sensing her gaze, he still smiled at her.

Finished!

Kaguya Shinomiya knew that Hachiman Hikigaya had seen through her.

Sakata Kintoki, the protagonist of the folk tale Kintaro and one of Raikou's Four Heavenly Kings, is the kind of hero who will reach out to those in despair, and he would never ignore those androids.

It was better that Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't unlocked yet, but after unlocking him...

Even if Sakata Kintoki wouldn't disobey her orders, Shinomiya Kaguya would instead support Hikigaya Hachiman's idea.

Kaguya Shinomiya subconsciously bit her lip, not wanting Kintoki to hate her no matter what.

Wasn't the previous statement too cold-blooded?

Kaguya Shinomiya was in a panic and didn't even have the energy to refute Hachiman Hikigaya.

Kaguya Shinomiya's greatest weakness is her rationality; once love and her love interest are involved, she finds it difficult to maintain her usual sharp mind.

Wow, Hachiman Hikigaya!

Makoto Aoki's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected Hachiman Hikigaya to perform so well under pressure. He was truly a talent who could survive against Gilgamesh.

He had a firm grasp on the mentality of the heroic spirits.

"Moreover, deciding what to do is not just about weighing the pros and cons."

Hachiman Hikigaya spoke eloquently: "Our goodwill, our courage, and our will—these are the key elements that make up our actions."

"While it may sound presumptuous, what we've done is to save our place!" Hachiman Hikigaya remained cautious; after all, with Kairi Shishikage present, it couldn't be directly claimed that they were saving the world.

"As saviors, people who bear the weight of so many lives, if they cannot even save these few lives, if they cannot even muster this much courage, how can they face the crises to come!"

"We can't run away from this. Ask yourselves what you really think. Can you really let those androids die knowing they will die?"

"If we stand idly by this time, will we really not regret it?"

Upon hearing this, even kind-hearted Eriri and Nakano Miku fell into deep thought. After all, both King Arthur and Oda Nobunaga were rulers of their own territories, fighting on the battlefield. King Arthur seemed gentle, and Oda Nobunaga seemed lively, but in reality, they were far more ruthless than Sakata Kintoki.

While the heroic narrative of Hachiman Hikigaya could sway Sakata Kintoki, it wouldn't persuade King Arthur or Oda Nobunaga. Therefore, he had to find another angle and achieve his goal by persuading his Master.

"Holy crap, that's amazing, buddy. I'm almost convinced."

"This is a classic case of 'If you can't even sweep your own room, how can you sweep the world?'"

"Wow, that's impressive! How come I never realized he was so good at talking?"

"As expected of my best friend Hachiman! He's really amazing!"

Hachiman Hikigaya's series of actions left everyone present speechless. Even Kairi Shishikage looked at him with a strange expression, indicating that he had never expected Hachiman Hikigaya to perform so well.

He thought that apart from Makoto Aoki and Kaguya Shinomiya, the others were all naive and innocent, since Hachiman Hikigaya hadn't shown anything special before. He didn't expect this guy to have such eloquence.

“I understand, I get your thoughts, Hikigaya-kun.” Eriri took a deep breath. “I agree with you. Perhaps we really should give it a try.”

Nakano Miku smiled apologetically at Shinomiya Kaguya: "Sorry, Kaguya-san."

"I support Hikigaya-kun!" Nakano Miku said firmly. "I don't want to regret it later, wondering why I didn't do something back then."

“Lord Saburo, I…” Nakano Miku looked at Oda Nobunaga, after all, this was his own decision.

Oda Nobunaga said casually, "Isn't this better? You are my master, so do whatever you want. You have the right to do so."

"Mmm!" Miku's gaze was gentle.

Makoto Aoki silently raised his hand: "My attitude is very clear, after all, Hachiman told me that before."

Kaguya Shinomiya almost rolled her eyes. What are you guys doing? Am I the villain?

To improve Kintoki's favorability, Kaguya Shinomiya, who had long wanted to betray him, had no choice but to use words to win him back.

"Seriously, one after another, do I look like someone who is cold-hearted and doesn't care about other people's wishes?"

Kaguya Shinomiya desperately wanted to salvage her image in Kintoki Sakata's eyes.

"I agree."

Thus, the five reached an agreement, and the great operation to save the androids began!
