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

So the androids stealthily planned to slip away.

Siegfried saw this but didn't say anything to warn him, since his Master's order to him was simply to suppress Rider.

Siegfried, who always responds to the wishes of others like the Holy Grail, does not agree with using androids as batteries.

However, the androids underestimated the two magicians. Even amidst their internal strife, they still paid some attention to the outside world.

"Trying to escape again!" Gold was also annoyed. "Honestly, you've caused me unnecessary trouble!"

He easily caught up with the android using enhancement magic, but Serekine maliciously threw a cursed nail at him from behind, forcing the android to dodge.

"Well!"

The android was knocked to the ground.

Because the group hadn't run far, Astolfo noticed this and his breathing became unstable. Siegfried seized the opportunity and sent him flying.

Whether Siegfried did it on purpose or not, Astolfo was fired in the direction of the homunculus.

"Is it okay!"

Astolfo ran towards the homunculus without regard for anything else. Gordes was startled; he dared not fight a Servant. He angrily said, "Saber, what are you doing? Quickly control him!"

"And Serena, you can't even command your own Servants?!"

Serekine's face became increasingly contorted.

Siegfried stood in front of Astolfo, expressionless.

Knowing that he couldn't help the child if he couldn't get past Siegfried's obstruction, Astolfo showed an extremely serious expression, brandishing his lance and displaying his fighting spirit for the first time.

"Get out of the way!" Astolfo's eyes were firm.

"Why do you do this?" Siegfried asked in a deep voice. "Is it because he asked for your help?" Just like him, constantly fulfilling the wishes of others.

"No, I wanted to help him myself. Can't a Servant help others?"

Astolfo's voice was incredibly firm; even though he was outmatched, he bravely launched an attack on Siegfried.

"Do you want me to forget the love, glory, and justice I truly possessed while I was still alive?"

Astolfo was knocked to the ground, but he still refused to admit defeat.

"I am Astolfo, one of Charlemagne's twelve warriors! I cannot abandon that child; I swore I would never abandon him!"

The last sentence was uttered with all his might.

These words undoubtedly angered his Master.

Serekine rushed over and grabbed Astolfo's hair, forcing him to look up and reveal his beautiful yet disheveled face.

"No, you are not. You are just a Servant!"

Serekine's face was contorted in extreme pain, burning with jealousy and malice. She frantically scratched her already disheveled hair: "You're just a corrupted copy of the Heroic Spirit Astolfo!"

“Well, you could say that.” Even though he was treated roughly, Astolfo remained calm, sticking out his tongue. “Although I don’t think so.”

“So, I never considered you Astolfo,” Serekine’s attitude grew increasingly manic. “You’re just a Servant, a familiar, a toy!”

Upon hearing this, even Siegfried subconsciously frowned.

"It's clearly true, it's clearly true, yet you act like an idiot, recklessly making me lose face over a fly buzzing around!"

Serekine went almost insane.

“Rider…” The android noticed the situation and wanted to help him, but was trampled underfoot by Gorde.

He wanted to resist, but with Serekine around, he didn't even have the chance to injure Gorde with magic like in the original story.

“I never imagined that the androids I created would develop a self-awareness that wanted to survive…” Gold’s tone was complicated for a moment, but he quickly shook his head. “Why have such thoughts? Wouldn’t it be painless to die without any awareness?”

"Anyway, no matter how much you struggle, you're doomed." After all, Danic had specifically asked for him.

To a magician, androids are merely raw materials.

He wants to live.

His body was in a lot of pain, but the android's mind was clear at this moment. What should he do?

He thought of the weapons Makoto Aoki had given him—a pistol and a dagger—that were in his arms. Should he take them out now?

No, now is not the best time! His intuition told him that making a move now would be completely useless, and would only lead to the discovery of his weapon and its being taken away.

He needs to calm down! He needs to find the best opportunity!

The android took a deep breath, his fingers sinking into the soil, but he refrained from further reckless provocation of Gold.

His eyes were fixed on Astolfo's direction; he was determined to get Rider out of there, no matter what!

"He's not a fly! No matter what, the will to live is never wrong!"

Astolfo refuted her righteously.

"That's it, defying me for that stuff!" Serekine grew increasingly furious, but in the heat of her anger, a thought popped into her head, and she suddenly broke into a vicious smile.

"That's it, let's do it this way."

She looked at Astolfo with a chilling gaze, making him feel uneasy.

"What, what are you doing?" Astolfo's hair stood on end.

“Isn’t this the purpose of familiars?” Malice spilled from her hair and fingertips. “In the name of the Command Spell, Astolfo, kill that homunculus!”

"what?"

Gordes was stunned by Serekine's bizarre actions. Was this woman insane? Wasting a Command Spell for such a trivial reason?

He completely forgot that he had previously forced Siegfried to use his Noble Phantasm with a Command Spell because of his excessive pride. If it weren't for the seemingly good results and Danic's failure to return in time, his impression of Danic would have plummeted.

The Command Seal instantly and forcibly controlled Astolfo, and weapons uncontrollably appeared in his hands as he walked towards the homunculus.

His body was stiff, undoubtedly because he was using his will and magic to resist the constraints of the Command Seals.

Although he was a lower fourth-tier magic user, Astolfo had an A-level magic resistance, which allowed him to fight against Command Seals entirely on his own.

"Why do this? It...it makes no...any sense?"

Astolfo struggled to control himself from attacking the androids.

But he was still moving in that direction, step by step.

“You will sigh, you will despair! The knight who upholds the glory of justice will become ugly and twisted!” Serekine’s smile was mad and twisted, and she screamed hysterically.

"Serekine, are you crazy? Are you going to disobey Danic's orders?" Gold was at his wit's end. Why did this madman become his colleague?

“I… absolutely will not… do it,” Astolfo vehemently defied the Command Spell.

“He’s just a cyborg, so what if I kill him!” Celechine’s voice was shrill. “Kill him, Rider!”

A red Command Seal flashed by; she had used another one.

The power of the Command Seal caused Astolfo to charge uncontrollably at the homunculus, raising his lance to kill him.

However, Astolfo's face was filled with immense sorrow, and he almost closed his eyes.

"don't want--"
