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

"arrive."

Rikka Takanashi, who accepted Yuta's advances, went with Yuta Togashi to her former home.

"My base, the place where I lived with my father and everyone else."

Rikka Takanashi's eyes sparkled with anticipation and joy as she hopped and skipped, step by step, to the front of her former home.

Her steps faltered.

The home that holds warm memories of my father and family is now just an empty space.

Only the weeds that have grown during this time and the yellow wildflowers sway gently in the night breeze remain.

Under the moonlight, the yellow flowers shimmered with silver light, which was beautiful, but this was not the scene that Rikka Takanashi wanted to see.

"this is the truth."

Toka, who had come here with them, uttered these words in a somber tone.

"Dad is gone, this is what it is now."

Shika cruelly revealed the reality: was she indifferent to her father's death? No, she too had been heartbroken, but as the older sister, she had to be more mature. She could only accept everything and try to change her younger sister's mind.

She is the older sister, so she has to be strong and has no room to be willful.

Rikka didn't react; she just walked in blankly, tears falling silently.

At this point, Toka had to admit that Merlin was right; no matter what, the situation would have turned out this way.

As Rikka pulled out her umbrella, Toka calmly took out her spoon.

Even if it means she feels pain, we must make her realize the truth!

In the world of Rikka, the battle between the Evil Eye and the Holy Healer unfolds once again.

"Utopia Crusher!"

However, her voice was trembling with sobs.

"How long are you going to play this boring game!" Toka replied coldly, her patience reaching its limit. She used a spoon to deflect Rikka's attack.

"Is it fun? Is it fun to always be so willful like a child?"

Without Merlin's special effects, their fight really looked like a child's joke, Toka questioned.

Seeing that Rikka was still rushing forward regardless of the consequences, Toka slapped her hard.

Rikka fell to the ground, her face red and swollen.

Do you hate your mother?

"No." Rikka turned her head away.

"So you're deliberately making things difficult for Grandpa and Grandma?"

"No!" Rikka retorted loudly.

"You should understand, understand that all of this is beyond our control! Understand that there's nothing we can do!"

Even the strong-willed Toka's eyes were brimming with tears. It wasn't that she didn't want to understand her sister, but... what could she do? Should she just watch Rikka continue like this?

Rikka, too, has her own convictions. She has never been able to move on from the reality of her father's departure, and she believes that as long as she finds the invisible boundary line, she will definitely be able to find her father.

“As long as we find the invisible boundary line…” Rikka retorted.

"That kind of thing doesn't exist at all."

"It exists." x2

Yuta Togashi was taken aback. Was there a second voice?

"The invisible boundary line exists." Merlin, who had always been lazy and didn't seem like a serious person, came stepping on the moonlight and flowers.

The silvery moonlight shone down, and his white hair even shimmered with an iridescent glow, like a dream.

"You're too impatient, Toka." Merlin walked past Toka, flowers blooming all around, and said softly, "Leave the rest to me."

Shihua's heart tightened. She shouldn't really trust him, after all, his previous behavior had always been unreliable.

However, when he said those words, Toka couldn't help but believe him.

Merlin, the magician of flowers, may always seem unreliable, but when it comes to important matters, he is never ambiguous.

The several times he saved the day in the main story were all by sheer luck.

He's just a frivolous and scumbag.

"I am the personal magician of the Evil King's True Eye, and I would never lie to my master."

"Come, let us enter the boundary between reality and the other side, and the miracles and encounters that can only be realized in dreams."

He waved his wand lightly, and pink petals floated up with his movements. Amidst the enchanting fragrance, Rikka closed her eyes.

The girl with short blue hair opened her eyes and found herself in her familiar home, a two-story villa.

Here?

Rikka Takanashi dashed into the room and ran upstairs. If this were home, then her father should be there—

The door opened, and the familiar figure turned around with a kind smile.

"Long time no see, Rikka."

……

At this moment, not only Rokka, but also Touka entered the same dream.

She watched as her father spoke to Rikka.

"I'm sorry, Rikka." The man held his sobbing daughter. "I didn't expect that hiding it from you would cause even greater harm."

"I'm sorry, Rikka."

...The father and daughter talked about the years they had been apart, until the very end.

"Daddy is leaving, Rikka. From now on, you must live a happy life."

"I love you, Rikka."

Rikka cried until she choked up, but in the end, she still spoke loudly to her father, saying what she had always wanted to say.

Goodbye, Dad!

Time seemed to be pulled into eternity. Rikka disappeared from the dream, and when the man turned around, he saw Toka's image reflected in his eyes.

"You've worked so hard all these years, Shihua."

The usually cold and strong black-haired woman's vision suddenly blurred.

……

"What was that just now?"

Waking from her dream, Toka's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Merlin by the collar, her gaze stubborn.

It was as if he would smash Merlin's head in if he said he was lying.

“It’s not a deception.” Merlin winked playfully. “As I said, it’s a miracle that can only happen in dreams, since the boundary between dreams and the other side is blurred.”

"It's going to be really troublesome to make this happen," Merlin muttered under his breath. "I've been working overtime for so long, and everyone says I'm not good at magic anymore."

"So...it really is Dad?" Shika's eyes widened, and tears streamed down her face.

"do not Cry."

Long, slender fingers brushed against the corner of Touka's eye, and the white-haired Nightmare smiled faintly: "Because I've been reflecting on my actions too. I am Merlin, the Flower Magician, and I hate sad endings the most. Besides, making a cute girl cry will definitely get me a scolding from Artoria when I get back."

"So, let's leave it at that and take a little responsibility."

Weave a beautiful dream, create a truly invisible boundary line, and let everything start anew.

"have a look."

Merlin pointed to the side, where Rikka was also crying, but her sobs revealed a sense of relief.

"I've fulfilled your request, so I can't tarnish my reputation as a caring older brother."

"...What magician, what kind of caring older brother, she's clearly a fairy godmother." Takanashi Touka wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, not even caring that her eyes were red.

She sighed softly, "How could you deceive Rikka like this?" But there was no blame in her tone.

"But the ending is good, and that's enough, isn't it?"

Merlin smiled gently, her purple eyes filled with tenderness.

"That's right."

Shihua also smiled.

then……

"Dark Destruction Slash!" Rikka Takanashi swung her umbrella, which had transformed into a large scythe, and unleashed a jet-black blade.

"Thunder God Shatters the Moon!" Sanae Dekomori, carrying a giant golden hammer, slammed it down, illuminating the room with golden lightning.

And the result? Nothing changed at all!

"Merlin——"

This is the enraged Ten-Flower.

"Haha, we're in trouble, get out of here!"

This is Merlin who ran away.

Yuta Togashi scratched his cheek and sighed.

"Really, it's still the same."

He smiles.
