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

"another world?"

At this moment, no matter how calm and skilled at disguising herself was, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed obvious surprise. Her usually indifferent scarlet eyes widened slightly, making her look somewhat cute.

"Another world? What are you talking about?!" The blonde with pigtails next to her reacted even more strongly, her face clearly showing disbelief. "You guys must be joking!"

"Don't you always fantasize about doujinshi plots? This is clearly a classic anime storyline, like time travel or something. Why do you look like you can't accept it?"

Eriri couldn't stand seeing her other self acting stupid with the same face as her, so she couldn't help but complain.

"Fantasy is fantasy! Who would believe it can appear in reality!"

Eriri was perfectly justified. She even drew doujinshi plots, fantasizing about a rich girl being humiliated by herself. But if it happened in reality, she would definitely call the police and give a firm "meh" (a euphemism for a violent outburst).

"But isn't our existence the best proof?" Eriri pointed to herself. "We look exactly alike, and our memories even overlap a lot. If you don't believe me, we can exchange some secrets that only we know. For example, the name of the first notebook I read in second grade was..."

Her voice was very low, and only the two of them could hear it.

"I believe you! I believe you! I believe we are one person, stop talking!" Eriri's expression went from suspicion to horror, then her cheeks turned bright red, and she became furious. She waved her arms, and if "Eriri" hadn't stopped talking, she would have rushed up and covered "Eriri's" mouth.

Even so, her fair cheeks turned a bright red, and her eyes darted around, clearly observing whether the two Kasumigaoka Utaha were eavesdropping. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two were some distance away and probably couldn't hear her.

"How can you say that so nonchalantly?!" Eriri said in a low, menacing voice. "Don't you feel embarrassed?" Eriri couldn't believe it; had her other self become so shameless?!

"Of course I won't let them hear it." Eriri said smugly. "Besides, this is a secret only 'we' know. Didn't you believe it immediately? This is the most efficient way." It has to be said that the sure-fire rhetoric she had cultivated as a princess was actually being used on herself, which was quite remarkable.

Eriri looked at her other self with a complicated expression and couldn't help but complain, "What on earth happened to you to become like this?"

Even after accepting the fact that the other person is another version of herself, Eriri still finds it hard to believe that she could one day use her embarrassing past as evidence—shouldn't such a thing, which would be so infuriating, be something that should never even be mentioned?!

Eriri paused, subconsciously touching the bright red Command Seal on the back of her hand, then smiled sweetly: "What happened... Hmph, it has nothing to do with you anyway."

Even if it were another version of herself, she wouldn't want to share the story between her and Arthur.

"Eri" casually glanced at Eriri's snow-white hand, after all, this "herself" was not a Master and probably had not met Arthur.

Maybe she even has feelings for Aki Tomoya? Eriri recalled her feelings back then and almost couldn't remember Aki Tomoya's face, since he looked quite ordinary with glasses on.

Seeing Eriri's strange yet sweet smile, Eriri felt inexplicably uneasy. Why did she feel like something cold was patting her face?

Compared to the two Eriri who dislike each other, the atmosphere between the two Kasumigaoka Utaha is much more "peaceful." Of course, the undercurrents and scheming behind the scenes are much more treacherous than the two Eriri who openly discuss it.

However, in the end, Kasumigaoka Utaha, as the Master, still won. Even though they had the same mindset, Kasumigaoka Utaha in the original work had experienced far more than the Master Kasumigaoka Utaha.

So, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her other, calm and composed self and had the same thought as Eriri: what had her other self gone through to become so cunning and treacherous?

"Alright, I'll assume you're from another world."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tried a few questions, but each one was gently deflected by her other self, so she had no choice but to tell the truth: "But I have a question."

"Why are you so sure that it was you who came to our world, and not us who went to yours?"

"Could it be that there's some difference between the two worlds?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha almost wanted to applaud her other self. Should she say that this is truly her? Unlike Eriri, who was completely clueless, she grasped the key point immediately.

“Of course we have ways to tell the difference.” Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly, but clearly did not want to reveal more. “Specifically, we can talk about it in a more private place. After all, this is the activity room of the Blessing Software Club, so it should be considered a public place.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at her in surprise. At first glance, what the other person said seemed to make no problem at all.

However, this is the Blessing Software club's private activity room, and only club members come and go. Kasumigaoka Utaha, however, expressed her distrust.

It seems this version of myself doesn't trust Ethics-kun... or rather, doesn't have that kind of affection for him...

As a romance novelist, Kasumigaoka Utaha easily noticed something amiss in the words and actions of her other self, but she also sensed a contradiction within herself.

“I have a question,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said naturally, “Are you a member of the Blessing Software club?”

After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha clearly knew the term "Blessing Software" circle.

"What are you talking about? Kasumigaoka, how could you not join?" Eriri didn't understand why Kasumigaoka Utaha was asking this.

“Yes, so far, I am indeed a member of the Blessing software circle.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly.

This is very strange.

It's conceivable that another version of herself might not like Aki Tomoya—after all, without Aki Tomoya's encouragement and promotion before she became famous, Kasumigaoka Utaha wouldn't have fallen for him.

However, what Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't understand was, if her other self didn't like Aki Tomoya, why would she join the Blessing Software club? Surely she couldn't have been swayed by Aki Tomoya's messy and flawed plans, could she?

"However, if this accident hadn't happened, I wouldn't be a member of the club after today. After all, I wouldn't have much time to play house with Anki-kun anymore."

Kasumigaoka Utaha casually dropped a bombshell: "Sawamura-kun probably thinks the same way."

Eriri, who was mentioned, glanced at her and nodded: "Yes, I'm here to apply to leave the club too."

"What?!" Eriri couldn't believe it. She subconsciously questioned her other self, "Why did you quit? You promised to become his exclusive illustrator..." She could say whatever she wanted to her other self, even though she couldn't say it to Aki Tomoya.

"Don't impose your ideas on me. Why should I play this childish game with him? Planning, decision-making, and strategy—he's not good at any of them."

Even though she could understand herself when she liked Aki Tomoya back then, Eriri still felt a sense of loss. After all, once the love was gone and the filter of liking was lost, Aki Tomoya was completely unqualified as a producer and was just a player who acted on impulse.

"For the sake of our childhood friendship, helping him this once is enough... Of course, if he needs help in the future, I wouldn't mind recommending him for a few paintings, though it's impossible for him to become an artist." Having some past connection, Eriri reflected on her past actions and felt somewhat guilty.

“I’m about the same,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said, unusually joining forces with Eriri. She stretched, revealing her voluptuous figure. “I’ve repaid all the favors I owed back then, and it’s time to prepare for the release of my new book.”

Even if it's basically finished, the later proofreading and revisions are a very long process.

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha exchanged a glance, both sensing the same emotion in each other's eyes.

The other self in the other world is different from me. Even if we look the same, our essence seems to be completely different.

At least in his attitude toward Aki Tomoya.

"You...you don't like Tomoya anymore?"

Eriri asked the question subconsciously, after all, she herself was confused by this feeling that had started since childhood and couldn't extricate herself. She couldn't imagine why her other self could let go so easily.

“Yes,” Eriri replied calmly, “I don’t like him anymore.”

"Why?"

Eriri clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her feelings a complex mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.

Accusing her of being unfaithful? That's obviously nonsense. But if you agree... to be fair, Eriri actually wants to let go, but she just can't. It's a whole ten years of feelings.

Why is it that another version of myself can so easily say the three words "I don't like it"?

"Perhaps it's because someone more worthy of my affection has come along."

The sunlight shone on Eriri, echoing her smile at that moment.

It seems like he's been unusually frank this time.

Her fingers tightened unconsciously, and Eriri placed her hands on her chest before speaking after a long while.

"Although I can't imagine that scene, it's still very good."

"You're lucky."

After all, over the past ten years, Eriri had wanted to get closer or stay away from him countless times, but she always hesitated and remained at that distance without changing.

Actually, she wasn't unaware of her own problems, nor did she have the right to blame Aki Tomoya; it's just that she couldn't bring herself to do it.

It is impossible to move forward or backward.

Eriri has remained in the same place, stuck in the same position she was ten years ago.

Eriri had prayed in her heart, "If only things could be changed."

Faced with her own courage to take that step, Eriri chooses to understand, even if it means no longer being entangled with Tomoya.

Anyway, as long as I don't compete with him for the throne, that's fine.

Eriri is hypocritical.

The blonde girl, who had finally taken that step, paused slightly upon hearing her counterpart's words.

Then she revealed a smile brighter than spring flowers.

"Yes, I'm really lucky!"

On the other side, the two Kasumigaoka Utaha are still clashing.

Upon hearing Eriri's confession, Kasumigaoka Utaha almost had a flash of inspiration and looked at her sharply, hesitatingly asking, "Have you also met... someone more suitable?"

In the end, Kasumigaoka Utaha used a more appropriate word.

The black-haired girl instinctively shifted her legs, the smooth black stockings rubbing against each other. She had already guessed the experience of her other self. Perhaps she initially liked Aki Tomoya, which was why she accepted the club's invitation. Otherwise, if it were just a matter of personal favor, she knew herself and might not have agreed to become a game story creator.

As for why he changed his mind later? And what kind of person did he fall in love with?

Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly observed the expression on her other self's face, not out of any other thought, but out of curiosity.

After all, it's another version of myself, meaning that the person Kasumigaoka Utaha would fall in love with is also myself...

After thinking it over, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized something was wrong. Her cheeks flushed with a vibrant color, like summer flowers, and her eyes began to wander.

"I won't say anything."

Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback and looked at the black-haired girl who had said those words. Her similar face was full of indifference.

"You're curious, aren't you? After all, you're me too, so of course I can guess how you feel."

As a writer, she is a girl who loves to fantasize. If she had never fantasized, how could she have written about romance? After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha herself has never had any romantic experience.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gathered some of the stray hairs at her temples, placed her hands on the table with her hands folded together, and displayed her full breasts and voluptuous figure to the fullest.

“So, I won’t tell you.” Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyes, her crimson eyes filled with seriousness. “These are my memories, my feelings, which I can’t share even with myself… or rather, it’s precisely because they are mine that I can’t share them.”

"You should be able to understand, after all, that's the kind of person 'I' am."

Dark, deep, and fond of scheming, Kasumigaoka Utaha is such a girl, even when facing herself, she is always wary.

"what."

Kasumigaoka Utaha pulled out a chair and sat down opposite "Kasumigaoka Utaha".

"Of course I understand."

"But you know perfectly well that this will only pique my curiosity more, won't it?"

Is Kasumigaoka Utaha the kind of obedient girl who would give up easily if advised against it? Of course not!

"It doesn't matter."

Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled knowingly, saying, "Only when facing yourself can you never lose."

Just then, the classroom door opened again, and a rather familiar voice rang out.

"Eri and Utaha-senpai are here... Wait, two Eriri and senpai?!!"

Eriri and Utaha Kasumigaoka exchanged a glance. Oh no, the most troublesome person has arrived!
