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

"Monster invasion?" Kasumigaoka Utaha repeated the phrase, her rich imagination as a writer quickly conjuring up images of bloodshed and carnage.

“Yes,” Eriri said to herself.

"The so-called monsters are not the zombies or aliens you imagine. If you have to say, they are closer to the ghosts, monsters, and demons of legend... Here's the key point: most of the weapons that humans currently have are ineffective against these monsters."

In just a few short sentences, Kasumigaoka Utaha managed to detect a hint of bloodshed within them.

Even a fool would know that those monsters that come to the mortal world are definitely not here to live in harmony with humans. Ghosts, monsters, and demons don't have a good image in human legends.

Now that human weapons are useless against them, wouldn't we just let them run rampant?

"Of course, since there are monsters, there are naturally corresponding heroes." Eriri's eyes softened, as if she was thinking of some scenes that she missed very much.

To be honest, she was the first person to come into contact with a Heroic Spirit, and even without signing a contract with King Arthur, she was still worthy of being remembered in history.

"Heroic spirits have appeared in our world." Eriri thought for a moment, "Have you ever heard of Valhalla in Norse mythology?"

Apart from Kato Megumi, everyone present was a typical anime fan and had naturally heard of her. After giving Kato Megumi a brief introduction, Eriri continued, "In fact, just like Valhalla in Norse mythology, there is also a place in the world called the Throne of Heroes."

"Heroic Spirits are the beings who became legends after their deaths, and who have become objects of worship for their great achievements. Usually, heroic spirits are summoned by the world as a force to protect humanity. And what humanity summons are Servants."

Considering that Arthur used to explain things to them, and now she's the one explaining things to others, this change in her role is quite poignant.

"So that means..." Kasumigaoka Utaha subconsciously covered her red lips to suppress her surprise and excitement, "that famous historical figures will reappear in modern times as heroic spirits? For example, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi?"

"What?" x3

Compared to Eriri's overly serious explanation, which leaves people confused and unable to grasp the concept for a while, Kasumigaoka Utaha's example is much clearer and enough to make people realize its legendary nature.

Even for these young boys and girls, monsters and world peace are too far away and hard to imagine. Heroic spirits are more interesting.

"Really?!" Aki Tomoya was so excited he was at a loss for words. "Like the legendary Shizuka Gozen, Oda Ichi, and the Asai sisters, they'll appear in modern times? They're regulars in bishoujo games!"

They are also famous beauties in history, and Aki Tomoka has played many works about them.

"And there are also Princess Mary, Joan of Arc, Cleopatra..." When it comes to characters from the world of anime and manga, Aki Tomoya can rattle them off like a pro. But rather than saying he genuinely likes these historical figures, it would be more accurate to say that he likes the fan-made characters derived from them. At most, he is captivated by their extraordinary qualities—after all, these are not three-dimensional characters, but definitely two-dimensional ones!

"Shut up!" Eriri wasn't going to tolerate him this time. She shoved Aki Tomoya aside and then excitedly leaned over, "Really? Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin and other famous figures all showed up? What do they look like? Are they handsome?"

This is probably the first thing every girl wants to know. After all, appearance is the primary factor influencing one's success, and everyone has to admit that visual perception is the most direct and immediate first impression, which usually determines everything.

Eriri looked a little annoyed: "Why do you only care about domestic celebrities? What about foreign ones?"

Although she herself had to admit that if it weren't for the first King Arthur she met, she would probably be just like the other version of herself in front of her, primarily concerned with the historical figures of her own country.

After all, although Eriri is of British and Japanese descent, she is essentially a pure Japanese person and can't even speak English well.

"What does it have to do with me if it's foreign?" Eriri asked, puzzled.

"But doesn't the Kingdom of Ying have anything to do with us?" Eriri retorted sharply. She herself didn't understand what she was arguing about, after all, she had never met Arthur or been saved by him.

"Alright, alright, let's skip over someone's personal agenda." Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted, sitting down next to Eriri with her long, beautiful legs crossed. "Let's talk about something else."

"What personal agenda? Don't you care?" Eriri glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha out of the corner of her eye.

"Why should I care? Isn't it better if no one is competing with me for him? As long as I'm the only one who knows how good he is, that's enough." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled charmingly, adding a touch of allure to her delicate face.

Eriri looked left and right, hesitating to speak: "What kind of code are you using?"

"Can't you see it yet, Sawamura-kun?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was very skeptical of Eriri's intelligence. "Considering the contracts they have with Servants, it means they also have Heroic Spirits by their side, which are historical figures."

Moreover, it seems that both of them are interested.

Actually, this is not unimaginable. Being able to leave legends and traces in history already proves that the other party is not an ordinary person. Moreover, they have their own halo. Even if Kasumigaoka Utaha still likes Aki Tomoya, she can't say that she could easily reject Minamoto no Yoshitsune's confession. After all, those historical figures are enough to charm a lot of people just by their names.

However, liking also has different levels. Superficial liking is just liking, profound liking is love, and another self...

Kasumigaoka Utaha secretly observed her other self and saw that her eyes were filled with deep affection. She deeply understood what it meant to fall in love. She found it hard to imagine which historical figure her other self had fallen for.

Judging from their tone, they didn't seem to be from this country? However, if that were the case, the possibilities were too vast, making it impossible to even guess. Kasumigaoka Utaha was momentarily at a loss.

"Who is it? Who is it?" Everyone has a gossipy nature, and at this moment, Eriri was practically grabbing her counterpart by the collar and interrogating her.

Not to mention Aki Tomoya, who was probably excited about something, even Kato Megumi looked curious. After all, gossiping is an indelible human instinct, especially when it's such a big piece of gossip.

"Ahem, weren't you just asking about Oda Nobunaga? He did appear, and he's quite handsome."

Eriri abruptly changed the subject, showing no intention of sharing Arthur with them. Kasumigaoka was right; why should they know how good Arthur is? She could keep it to herself.

"Eh—" the four exclaimed in disappointment, "Why won't you tell us? Of course, hand over what Lord Nobunaga looks like!"

Although disappointed by Eriri's suspense, the four were still drawn to the bait she offered.

Just kidding, that's the Sixth Heaven Demon King, the number one in the Warring States period, Oda Nobunaga who almost became the ruler of the land! He already had the highest popularity and the most talked-about figures in Japan. Even though Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu were the real rulers of the land, in terms of popularity, they couldn't beat Oda Nobunaga combined.

Not to mention Oda Nobunaga's immense popularity in the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) field, with countless works related to him.

"Wait, let me look through this. I have some photos here." Eriri took out her phone and started searching.

As Miku's friend, it's perfectly normal for her to have photos with Oda Nobunaga. Even if she likes Arthur, it doesn't stop her from admiring Oda Nobunaga! That's Oda Nobunaga, after all. No Japanese person dislikes him.

On the other hand, even Nakano Miku, who likes Sengoku warlords, has taken photos with foreign heroic spirits such as King Arthur. This has nothing to do with whether you like them or not. No one would want to miss this opportunity, right?

Sitting on the other side of Eriri, Eriri noticed the photos scrolling by on her phone screen. One of the blond figures appeared several times, and even without seeing his face clearly, Eriri blurted out, "Who is that blond man?"

Eriri was startled, and her phone slipped from her hand, landing on her lap. A photo was displayed on the phone screen.

The handsome and gentle blond youth leaned down, his demeanor noble and awe-inspiring, his blue eyes fixed on the screen, while the blond girl he half-embraced was none other than Eriri Sawamura Spencer.

Handsome men and beautiful women, what a harmonious scene.

"Oh~" Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly picked up Eriri's phone and made a meaningful sound.

She deliberately flipped her phone upside down, showing everyone the image on the screen: "Is this the Servant you were hiding from me?"

Eriri's cheeks were flushed, and she bit her lower lip, revealing her cute little tiger teeth.

Even Oda Nobunaga couldn't stop Kasumigaoka Utaha's strong gossip instincts. She couldn't help but smile like an aunt: "He's really very handsome."

"Give it back to me!" Eriri snatched her phone back, saying deliberately, "Thanks for the compliment. Your guy is handsome too."

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback, then realized what "Eriri" meant, and subconsciously looked at her other self.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha" didn't even blink. Does she have an obligation to explain this to people from another world? Even if they are the same entity, it's not acceptable.

“He…he…he…” Eriri became uncomfortable instead. She blushed and pointed at “Eriri,” or more accurately, at the other person in the phone photo, “Who is he?”

Is that the other person I like?

Even though I've never encountered it before, it still feels strangely odd after I put it on the equation.

Even a single glance reveals that the young man in the photo is exceptionally outstanding, possessing a noble and elegant demeanor and an imposing presence that is incomparable to men of today.

Are these historical heroes?

Eriri was genuinely curious about the other person's identity.

Eriri, who was fiddling with her phone at the time, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then looked up and said, "He is Arthur, Arthur Pandoragon."

King Arthur, King of Knights, King of Eternity, Lord of Storms, King of the Wild Hunt... these titles are just embellishments for Arthur. To Eriri, Arthur is simply Arthur.

"King Arthur?!"

Eriri's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"King Arthur?" Kato Megumi tilted her head; this was a legendary king whom even outsiders had heard of.

"King Arthur!" Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed.

"That's King Arthur!" Aki Tomoya waved his hand excitedly.

It's worth noting that the legend of King Arthur is widely known throughout the world, much like the legend of Joan of Arc in France.

"He, he's King Arthur? He signed a contract with you?" Eriri couldn't help but stammer. The already handsome blond youth, with the legendary life of King Arthur, seemed even more dazzling, making people dazzled and yearning.

Even though Eriri had never met that young man, she couldn't help but fantasize about him, after all, he was another version of herself!

For example, it's like you finding out that you in a parallel world have become the empress of Qin Shi Huang and the wife of Huo Qubing—you can't contain your excitement!

Eriri glanced at her and nodded.

"Aaaaaah!!" Eriri started screaming softly, though she didn't even know what she was yelling... She was probably just too excited and wanted to let it all out.

Unlike in games, he was a real king, a legendary monarch.

"It's unbelievable..." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked Eriri up and down, then looked at Eriri who was in a magical state. What was so charming about this blonde twin tail that she could actually sign a contract with King Arthur?

Honestly, King Arthur's looks alone would be enough to attract a whole company of beautiful women, even without revealing his identity.

Huh?

Kasumigaoka Utaha discovered a blind spot. She looked at her other self, who was calm and composed. Eriri's Servant was King Arthur, so what about her?

Kasumigaoka Utaha's indifferent demeanor seemed to have revealed something. Kasumigaoka Utaha knew herself well; she was absolutely unwilling to lose to Eriri.

The current calm suggests either that "Kasumigaoka Utaha's" status as a Servant is no lower than that of King Arthur, or that she loves him so much that she doesn't care about status... or perhaps both.

Noticing the scrutinizing gaze from her counterpart, "Kasumigaoka Utaha" frowned, but finally spoke up: "You want to know?"

"You're finally willing to talk?" Kasumigaoka Utaha teased.

"Anyway, Sawamura-kun won't keep it a secret for me, so there's no need to hide it." Kasumigaoka Utaha stated the reason directly. After all, Eriri had already been exposed, so she definitely couldn't hide it anymore, otherwise Eriri would have told her too.

"If I had to choose, I'd rather say it myself."

Kasumigaoka Utaha makes no attempt to hide her possessiveness; her crimson eyes reflect the image of another version of herself.

For some reason, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little nervous and her palms were sweating when faced with the gaze of her counterpart.

who is it?

"My servant is Charlemagne, the Holy Knight Charlemagne."
