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

Eriri practically fled in panic.

The golden-haired heroic spirit did not deliberately reveal herself, but silently protected her as she returned home.

He naturally returned to the store, finished his day's work, and then went back to Makoto Aoki's house.

Makoto Aoki was dumbfounded.

"What kind of scumbag are you? How could you reject her?"

After praising Eriri for being cute, Arthur resolutely rejected her, saying things like, "I'm sorry to have bothered you. If it's bothering you, let's not meet again," and "If you find it troublesome, Eriri, I'll find another job."

Makoto Aoki, being a man, found it unbelievable that he wouldn't push her down at this point and would instead resolutely refuse her; he was worse than an animal.

“I don’t have any romantic feelings for Eriri-san. It would be even worse if she misunderstood.” Arthur seemed quite frank. “But Master, your thoughts are the kind that should be judged.”

"Just kidding. The point is, you still said she's cute, the cutest girl you've ever seen?" Aoki Makoto is a talker, but actually, he wouldn't do it.

If this isn't love, then why are you spouting nonsense?

"I'm not lying, Eriri-san is indeed a very cute girl."

Makoto Aoki squinted: "You're twisting the facts. And why did you call her Eriri before, but now you call her Miss Eriri?"

"It would be very impolite for two men to address a woman by her first name, especially since you are not familiar with her, Master."

"...I can't speak to you."

Makoto Aoki wiped his face: "What exactly are you thinking?"

Although it is, in a sense, his own alter ego, it actually operates according to the old sword's personality and a bit of self-awareness, so Makoto Aoki can't understand what he's thinking.

“I am a servant now, and everything should be done with my master first. Eriri-san is not my master.”

"I can't reciprocate Eriri's feelings. After all, we haven't spent much time together, and she's probably just acting on impulse."

"For Eriri's sake, let's keep a certain distance and let her calm down."

Arthur's tone remained calm and collected, yet it was somewhat frightening.

If you didn't talk so much, I would really believe you.

Makoto Aoki stared blankly. Honestly, before he actually met Gudako, if any blonde tsundere girl expressed those kinds of feelings towards him, even if she didn't say it directly, Makoto Aoki felt he couldn't handle it.

Putting himself in others' shoes, how could Arthur, who has his own consciousness, not be tempted at all!

"Then choose Eriri as your master." Makoto Aoki had wanted Arthur to go independent for a long time. Anyway, Arthur going independent wouldn't hurt him, and it would also solve the mana drain problem, allowing him to start his second identity as soon as possible. After all, Arthur, as a Servant, had been extremely busy lately, dealing with no less than ten monster invasions from Type-Moon, but they were all in deep mountains and forests, probably suppressed by the government.

"I am not qualified to choose for Eriri-san, and as a master, she would have to face battle or death, which she probably cannot bear." After all, she is a high school girl who is terrified even when she sees a dead person (or not even when she sees one).

Undeterred, Aoki Makoto pressed on, "Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

Arthur paused for a moment, a rare occurrence.

"Rather than being moved, it's more like feeling a bit of a failure to see a girl cry in front of me."

……

After Arthur's spirit form was restored, Aoki Makoto picked up his phone and started typing.

"I think my version of King Arthur is completely hopeless."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: ? Is it a male King Arthur or a female King Arthur? What happened?

Makoto Aoki: The guy. He actually rejected a beautiful girl so bluntly! And she even has magical talent. Okay, let me tell you...

Fujimaru Ritsuka: As for Arthur, this is indeed his choice. Because he has a strong sense of responsibility, he doesn't make promises lightly, but once he does, he will definitely keep them.

Makoto Aoki: So I think this pairing is over orz. Arthur is too calm and has no intention of taking any action.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: Haha, I think the real key to forming a couple isn't Arthur.

Makoto Aoki: How could that be? Even though it wasn't said outright, anyone with eyes could see that the girl liked him!

Fujimaru Ritsuka: But you still didn't say it, did you? Sometimes words are more important than anything else.

Makoto Aoki: Hopeless. He's a typical tsundere, the kind who'll never be honest in this lifetime.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: I'll make a bet, Makoto. Girls can be braver than you think sometimes.

Even through the screen, Makoto Aoki could imagine the smile in Ritsuka Fujimaru's eyes, and he quickly replied.

Makoto Aoki: Let's gamble.

So what if he lost? He's happy anyway.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: We'll see. Actually, there's a difference between Arthur and Artoria. If Artoria needs the other person to take ninety-nine steps before she takes the last one, then Arthur waits for the other person to take the first step before taking the remaining ninety-nine.

Makoto Aoki: Then I'll wait and see.

After chatting for a while longer with reluctance, Makoto Aoki finally put down his phone.

Gazing at the dim moonlight outside, the black-haired boy sighed deeply, hoping to find a suitable Master soon.

"Have you found a suitable Master?"

A fufu jumped out, startled by the sudden appearance of the golden sword.

"Huh! Are you going to kill me?!" The little paw of the world consciousness, which was being attacked by Fou, patted its chest.

"To arrive without prior notice is not proper etiquette for a guest." The knight wielding the holy sword stood firm.

"You scared me!" Aoki Makoto said irritably. "Besides, I haven't even settled accounts with you yet. Last time you just dumped a mess on me. Do you know how much I was hurt afterwards!"

"Compensation!" A hand was held out to Fufu.

The World Consciousness shrugged: "No! What I gave you before was the last of our stock."

"Oh." Aoki Makoto's expression changed instantly. "You're not welcome here. Get out of here."

"Hey, you're so materialistic!" World Consciousness was utterly exasperated.

"I'm here to tell you the information. If you don't want to know, then forget it."

As she spoke, the white squirrel-like Fufu prepared to crawl away.

"Wait a minute." Aoki Makoto had Arthur stop it. "Tell me about it."

Feeling the sword's edge pressed against its face, the world's consciousness finally yielded: "You did a good job with your previous missions, resolving almost all of them before causing significant damage."

"But things will be different after that. There's a high chance that two waves of monsters will appear at the same time, so you need to hurry up and make a name for yourself. Nobody knows King Arthur yet, your progress is too slow! And you haven't even found your first Master yet, how are you going to create a second identity!"

"Don't tell me the hole you crashed into in the Fate world is that big." Makoto Aoki's eyes were unfriendly.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Fake Fufu's eyes darted around. "This has caused a chain reaction. Have you heard of the spiritual energy resurgence?"

"Heh, let the world end."

"No way!" The world consciousness waved its little paws. "This isn't without its benefits for you either. If you establish the Fate universe in this world, this place will also develop into a high-magic world like Fate. That way, Fujimaru Ritsuka can come and go freely here. Isn't that a win-win situation?"

"What happened to the spiritual vein you promised me?! I don't even know how to set up a magic circle, otherwise I could easily create a second identity! Damn it!"

Makoto Aoki grabbed the fake Fufu and shook her violently.

Originally, choosing a magician as the first Heroic Spirit would have been enough to solve the problem, but Makoto Aoki had too little time, so he had to choose King Arthur, who was specifically designed to counter the Demon Boar.

"I understand, I understand!" The World Consciousness told Aoki Makoto how to set up the magic circle and the suitable location of the spiritual vein, and then slipped away before he could finish reading it.

"Remember to open the second account first, okay?"

"You bastard, don't run away!"
