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

Of course, compared to the individuals involved, the most fans are those who admire the heroic spirits.

For example, the second daughter of a certain tycoon.

"Lord Achilles is the best! So handsome~" Sonoko Suzuki has become a fangirl, completely smitten.

Her blue eyes were fixed on Achilles's heroic figure in battle. The man on the screen wielded his spear, nimbly dodging the stakes that emerged from beneath his feet, and launched a confident and valiant attack on Vlad III.

Confident, flamboyant, fearless, proud.

This heroic demeanor completely captivated Sonoko Suzuki.

"I've decided! I'm definitely going to start a fan club for Lord Achilles! I'll make merchandise and even life-size body pillows!" Sonoko Suzuki said, her cheeks flushing.

"Then good luck, Sonoko." Compared to her previous investigations into Sonoko's various romantic relationships, Ayako Suzuki didn't object to Sonoko's obsession with Heroic Spirits.

After all, they are historical heroes, each with their own outstanding and valuable qualities. For example, Achilles, despite his rather chaotic love life, is still the second most famous hero in Greek mythology.

Anyway, the Heroic Spirit wouldn't deceive Sonoko Suzuki's feelings. If it really did come, it wouldn't be a loss after signing the contract.

In this regard, Ayako Suzuki clearly shared the same thought as the Shinomiya family. The Suzuki family had also suffered considerable losses during the previous monster invasion, and if they could form a contract with a Heroic Spirit like Kaguya of the Shinomiya family, things would improve significantly afterward.

"Sister, come with me too! After all, Lord Achilles is really handsome!"

"Actually, most of the Heroic Spirits look pretty good so far, like Astolfo and Grand Duke Vlad. Only Spartacus and the Black Faction's Caster are a little strange." But to say they're ugly wouldn't be accurate; they just don't fit the aesthetic standards.

"Although Grand Duke Vlad is also handsome, this kind of mature handsomeness isn't my aesthetic." Although Sonoko likes all handsome men, she still has her biases when there's a comparison.

"As for Astolfo, although I know intellectually he's a beautiful boy, he looks completely like a girl!"

Sonoko Suzuki had mixed feelings about Astolfo; after all, this woman was incredibly powerful!

“So, Lord Achilles is still the best!” Sonoko Suzuki said decisively.

However, when the scene shifts to King Arthur and Siegfried fighting, the swift and powerful clash of their swords, and the way Siegfried's muscular physique and bones are accentuated by his extremely daring attire...

"Siegfried is my true love!" Sonoko Suzuki quickly transferred her affections to someone else.

Ayako Suzuki: "..." Whatever makes you happy.

"Why don't you like King Arthur?" Ayako Suzuki asked curiously, because she knew that Sonoko actually liked this kind of gentle guy.

"Because His Majesty King Arthur already has a Master, and she's a lovely girl." Sonoko Suzuki's words fully demonstrate that she was also once infatuated with Arthur. After all, she had personally witnessed Arthur treating Eriri well, and Eriri clearly liked King Arthur. She had no interest in men who were already taken.

"I should have been brave enough to confess back then," Sonoko Suzuki said, referring to when she saw Arthur at the restaurant. "Too bad, all the handsome guys are taken now!"

"So, Siegfried is still the best! Silent and reliable, with a great personality. I've decided, I'll be the leader of the Siegfried support group!" Sonoko Suzuki rekindled her passion.

So, have you forgotten Achilles again?

As the battle progressed, the number of bullet comments on the screen increased.

"As someone who loves battle, I'm completely satisfied! Aww, everyone, you're truly amazing! You are heroes who will go down in history!"

"That's incredible, Achilles! No wonder he's the fastest hero! The title of fastest human foot isn't just for show!"

"I heard we're watching versions that are dozens of times slower. My god, just how good are they?"

"The Grand Duke's Noble Phantasm is so cool! I wish I had that ability too!"

"Who is that black cube's caster? How can they create so many puppets?"

"It seems those famous detectives have figured it out. His real name is something like Avisbro, I've never heard of him before."

"King Arthur is the best! King Arthur is the best!"

"Who is this new Black Archer? Atalanta is completely overwhelmed, so strong!"

"Black Saber and Berserker have appeared! Everyone, guess their identities!"

"That's impressive. Even if we had the same physical abilities, I probably wouldn't have been able to beat Achilles. The national championship isn't the end goal; I need to keep training!"

"Holy crap, this Holy Grail War has so many famous figures! Black Saber is actually Siegfried, the dragon-slaying hero! So strong, she's evenly matched with King Arthur!"

"Thank goodness it was Uncle Shishikai who impersonated the Master! If it were any of the others from our world, they would have been killed. Uncle Shishikai is a good guy!"

May good people live a long and peaceful life, and may nothing happen to them!

"Ah Fu, don't hurt Uncle Lion Robber! I'll go from being a fan to a hater!"

"Can science fiction protagonists become Heroic Spirits? That Berserker is Frankenstein? You're saying Sherlock Holmes is also a protagonist? Never mind then."

All the comments reached their climax after King Arthur and Siegfried clashed with their Noble Phantasms.

"Aaaaaah, why do I have to scream?!"

"Is this the power of Heroic Spirits? It's terrifying—"

"Oh my god, oh my god, I even said bad things about Heroic Spirits before... I was wrong! Please don't hold it against me!"

"This is practically a walking human nuclear weapon!"

"So powerful, so powerful it's inhuman. Okay, heroic spirits aren't human, but to be able to do this much, they would be no different from gods in ancient times."

"Is this a Noble Phantasm? It's incredibly powerful!"

It must be said that modern people have a much higher threshold than ancient people. Even now, after witnessing the power of Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms, the thought of humanity's ultimate weapon, the nuclear bomb, doesn't seem so unacceptable.

There is fear, surprise, and admiration, but not to the point of worshipping it as a deity as in ancient times. This is probably a kind of arrogance unique to modern people.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that the Heroic Spirits participating in Romania were limited in their power output by the restraining force of the Type-Moon world, while the everyday world... the world consciousness was completely unrestrained, meaning that they could reach the level of the original text! It's just that there was no need to use such a large amount of power before.

However, the fact that it seemed to have such power was a relief to many, and those with ulterior motives were both wary and covetous of it.

For example, a winery.

Amuro Tooru welcomes Vermouth, a colleague who appears and disappears unpredictably.

"What do you think of Heroic Spirits, Bourbon?" Vermouth, whose beauty rivals that of the currently appearing Heroic Spirits, shone with captivating charm.

"I remember you received a mission to investigate Heroic Spirits?"

“I had already gathered some information, but then they went to participate in the Holy Grail War, and the battle was broadcast live. All the previous information is now worthless.” Amuro Tooru deliberately showed a regretful expression. “However, the broadcast will also reveal more information, which will be very beneficial to my future actions.”

"Well then, I wish you all the best, Bourbon."

The two men lightly clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
