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

"Charlemagne has come to see me!"

Hearing these words from her other self, even Kasumigaoka Utaha perked up.

Even if people secretly criticize Charlemagne as a scumbag, his achievements as the father of Europe and the King of the Franks are undeniable. His image, along with Alexander, King David, and Caesar, served as the prototype for the King of cards. His historical status and influence far surpassed King Arthur, making him one of the greatest emperors in European history.

Even if Charlemagne doesn't appear in the world as the king, but rather as a figure from the legend of Charlemagne, his grandeur and heroism as a hero are not diminished in the slightest. He is still Charlemagne, perhaps even more passionate and righteous than when he was king.

Who would want to miss the chance to face such a king in the modern world? And King Arthur, even though she and Eriri have always been at odds, does that mean Kasumigaoka Utaha would miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

In modern society, who has ever seen a king as decisive and ruthless as those of ancient times, who could decide life and death with a whim? Basically, all that remains is the title of king and a seemingly glorious and noble crown.

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha could not hide her excitement and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"

When are you coming?

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced around her house and suddenly felt a little anxious: "Should I tidy up the house? Should I entertain some guests?"

Don't think that Kasumigaoka Utaha's attitude is strange. To be honest, in modern times, even if a county magistrate came to your house, you would be trembling with fear.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was initially quite calm, mainly because she already had quite a few summoned Servants, and the Servants and Masters were relatively equal, which allowed her to maintain her composure. Charlemagne, however, was not Kasumigaoka Utaha's Servant, so she naturally felt somewhat anxious and uncertain.

Seeing this, Machida Sonoko's mind became even more confused. When no one paid attention to her, she couldn't help but shout, "Wait, can someone explain to me what's going on?"

Machida Sonoko's shout made both Kasumigaoka Utaha turn around. Their eyebrows and eyes were incredibly similar, and their clothes were almost identical, just like the doppelganger. They were stunning but also a little eerie, since even twin sisters might not look so alike.

"Who is she? Shi, I don't remember you having a sister?" Machida Sonoko's fingers trembled slightly. As Kasumigaoka Utaha's close friend, she couldn't tell the two of them apart at all. After all, sisters usually have different temperaments.

"Also, who is Charlemagne? A foreign friend? Who would have such an arrogant name!"

There are quite a few people named Charlie abroad, but "Mann" means "the Great," so who would name themselves Charlie the Great?

"And is that Charlemagne your friend, Little Poem? It seems like you..."

Machida Sonoko hesitated, after all, she knew Kasumigaoka Utaha's personality very well. To put it nicely, she was individualistic; to put it bluntly, she was self-willed and didn't pay much attention to her classmates at school. So why was she so excited to entertain her now? It was simply illogical.

The two Kasumigaoka Utaha exchanged a glance, and suddenly didn't know how to explain to Machida Sonoko.

Should we talk to Machida Sonoko? Actually, after Charlemagne arrives, there's no need to worry about safety; she probably won't stay here for very long anyway.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha" looked at her other self, intending to hand over the decision to her, since the trouble was with the Kasumigaoka Utaha of this world.

Kasumigaoka Utaha hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "She is actually Kasumigaoka Utaha from another world."

She believed Machida Sonoko. Besides, as Kato Megumi said, no one would believe her if she told others. And once "Kasumigaoka Utaha" left, it wouldn't have any impact; at most, it would just be another topic of conversation.

"What?" Machida Sonoko didn't understand at all. "What other world? Shinobu, you're really joking..."

Then, upon meeting Kasumigaoka Utaha's earnest gaze, Machida Sonoko immediately fell silent. She then looked at "Kasumigaoka Utaha," who seemed to be a copy-paste of her, and considered that Kasumigaoka Utaha was an only child.

Machida Sonoko swallowed hard: "Is it true?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded.

Machida Sonoko's red lips parted wide, then she covered her mouth before screaming, her deep blue eyes filled with disbelief: "My God, is this...is this really something that can happen in the real world? I'd rather you told me it's a clone or something..."

"The clone is ridiculous too," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, somewhat speechless.

“That’s still more reliable than another world! At least it’s achievable with current technology!” Machida Sonoko retorted loudly. She couldn’t help but move closer to Kasumigaoka Utaha and circle around her. “Is it really another Utaha? Damn it, let me get a good feel for her. I know Utaha’s measurements!” As she spoke, she stretched out her wicked claws.

“Ms. Machida!” Kasumigaoka Utaha’s face turned bright red.

"Don't say such lewd things, Ms. Machida." Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her eyes and glanced at the "malicious" woman in business attire out of the corner of her eye.

"Eh... that tone, that expression, you really are Shiho." Ms. Machida awkwardly withdrew her hand, then hugged Kasumigaoka Shiho with emotion, her equally full breasts pressing against hers. "Shiho actually told me something so important, I'm so touched!"

"But it's best to keep this a secret! What if I tell everyone?" After saying that, Machida Sonoko became a little uneasy again. "Oh no, I can't drink beer with other people anymore. What if I say something inappropriate after drinking?"

Knowing that Machida Sonoko meant well, Kasumigaoka Utaha chuckled but was also touched: "What does it matter? She won't stay here for long. Once she leaves, no one will believe you anyway."

"Huh? This time travel is still controllable?" Machida Sonoko was surprised, then showed a disappointed expression. "Another little poem is leaving? I wanted to entertain her properly, and with the inspiration of two Kasumi Shikos colliding, there will definitely be even more wonderful works!" As an editor, she had not forgotten her job.

“It should still be some time…” Kasumigaoka Utaha replied, but before she could finish, there was a knock on the door.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression changed instantly, and an uncontrollable smile spread across her face. She took two steps forward, opened the door, and then opened her arms, letting herself fall into that reassuring embrace.

"Charlemagne..." Burying her head in the crook of his shoulder, she could almost breathe in the refreshing scent of spring sunshine. For the first time, Kasumigaoka Utaha let her emotions run wild.

Even though we were only apart for a little over a day, it felt like we had been apart for a long time.

The young man, as upright as a bamboo or pine tree, was taken aback for a moment, then smiled brightly and reached out to hug "Kasumigaoka Utaha": "I've come to pick you up, Utaha."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen."

Beneath his light and cheerful tone lies a powerful confidence that inspires a sense of self-assurance in listeners.

Kasumigaoka Utaha lost control for only a few seconds before blushing and leaving the warm embrace. Noticing the astonished looks from the other two, she awkwardly smoothed her hair and deliberately scolded, "You came too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little. Ahhh, why did her tone sound exactly like that tsundere "Eriri"?

“I’m sorry, Shiyu.” Charlemagne’s expression relaxed, and he answered sincerely and apologetically, “I don’t want to be good at magic, especially spatial magic.”

"but!"

"As long as I know you're here, I will overcome all difficulties to come to your side!"

Frank and innocent words can completely touch people's hearts.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's face instantly turned bright red: "Idiot, you idiot..."

Machida Sonoko & Kasumigaoka Utaha: I feel so superfluous...

At this moment, Charlemagne seemed to notice the two people on this side, and his eyes, as blue as the sky, were fixed on them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was caught off guard and fell into those clear blue eyes, so clean and boundless, like the clarity and purity after a rainbow has faded and the rain has stopped, making one lose their senses.

Compared to the renowned title of king above his head, as Kasumigaoka Utaha said, Charlemagne is closer to the side of an adventurer.

A glorious and honorable, righteous and fearless knight, even if there are countless thorns and flames, high mountains and deep valleys ahead, can still cut through all obstacles with the sword in his hand and create a legend.

Seeing him is like seeing budding spring leaves, vibrant summer flowers, a starry river flowing in the deep night, and an ancient dream, full of vitality and a touch of intoxicating fantasy and mystery.

At the same time, he was indeed a king. His eyes were sincere and gentle, giving people no pressure while maintaining his dignity.

Simply standing here, it's as if one is carrying all of people's wishes on their back, resolutely moving forward.

Then, Charlemagne's eyes crinkled into a smile as bright as the sun: "Thank you so much for taking care of Shiyu during this time! I'm truly grateful!"

"I didn't actually do anything." Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little awkward, after all, she had just been discussing with another version of herself that Charlemagne was a scumbag.

But such doubts vanished the moment she saw him. Kasumigaoka Utaha had previously doubted her other self's romantic nature, but there are always people in the world who, once you see them, you understand that they are shaped by brilliance and fantasy, and that all filth and falsehoods should not be associated with them.

If he says so, he will definitely do it.

At this moment, even Kasumigaoka Utaha became so certain.

Compared to Kasumigaoka Utaha's unease, the unaware Machida Sonoko was much more at ease after being amazed. Her eyes immediately became gossipy, and her tone became ambiguous: "Utaha, who is this? Could it be your..." Machida Sonoko gestured and chuckled. Despite being a stunningly beautiful woman, she inexplicably gave off a lewd feeling.

"No, that's not it!" Kasumigaoka Utaha retorted in a rare moment of panic.

"Huh? Then what were you just now?" Machida Sonoko was completely confused and didn't believe it at all. Who would believe that "Kasumigaoka Utaha"'s expression just now was emotionless?

"Hello, Ms. Machida! Ms. Kasumigaoka!"

Charlemagne stepped forward, just in time to shield Kasumigaoka Utaha from her blushing face: "I'm Utaha's friend, Charlemagne. You can just call me Charlemagne, it's not a big deal."

Upon seeing each other's divine faces up close, Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Utaha were once again momentarily lost in thought.

The same light shone on Charlemagne, but it made a difference. It was as if tiny specks of light surrounded his radiant figure, making his eyebrows and hair sparkle, creating a dreamlike effect.

Especially the few strands of silver hair in his black hair, the soft color like flowing moonlight, could never be achieved with dye.

Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but give her counterpart a look: No way, you still haven't won him over?

His eyes were practically overflowing with love, but he couldn't even handle a couple of teasing remarks from Machida Sonoko. And they call themselves friends...

Veins bulged on Kasumigaoka Utaha's forehead, and she coldly glanced at her counterpart with her scarlet eyes: What's it to you?

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes and snorted, her eyes practically screaming "loser."

Kasumigaoka Utaha gritted her teeth, then reached out and hugged Charlemagne's arm to assert her dominance. Even without a confirmed relationship, Charlemagne would not choose anyone else.

Charlemagne let Kasumigaoka Utaha's little antics go unchecked, but gave her a bright smile.

As a result, the black-haired girl turned into a big, bright red tomato.

"Ah, that's wonderful~" Machida Sonoko cupped her face in her hands, filled with longing. "What a beautiful youth~"

She wouldn't trust any friends; anyone with eyes could see the shady dealings between them.

"You need to hurry up with Shiwa here too!" Machida Sonoko nudged Kasumigaoka Utaha with her elbow and gave her a knowing look.

Whether it's Taki or anyone else, the best thing to do is to find a partner first!

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and turned her face away: "I don't care about this kind of thing. It's you, Machida-san, who needs to worry about it."

After all, she's a working woman in her twenties, doesn't have a boyfriend, and spends all her time thinking about drinking beer. Her life is pretty much like that of a man in his thirties.

Machida Sonoko, feeling like she'd been shot in the knee, started stammering, "I... I don't need that. Life is so good now, I'm free. The future will definitely be mine..." But she couldn't keep up the story.

"Are we just going to stand here forever?" Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly asked.

Those present realized they had been standing there for quite a while, so they all moved to the sofa.

A few minutes later...

"What—he, he's Charlemagne? What kind of heroic spirit is he?" Machida Sonoko's exclamation almost pierced the wall.

“Wait, let me sort this out.” Machida Sonoko slapped her forehead, almost thinking she was still drunk. “If the facts weren’t right in front of me, I definitely wouldn’t believe this.”

“After all, even parallel universes exist, so it’s normal for there to be extraordinary beings like Heroic Spirits,” Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

“It’s not good at all!” Machida Sonoko whispered in Kasumigaoka’s ear, “The other party is a very famous emperor in history!”

"It's nothing, really." Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Charlemagne and his counterpart who were huddled together talking, then looked away.

Machida Sonoko suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Since tomorrow is a day off anyway, let's all go out and have fun together, and let's invite His Majesty King Arthur and Sawamura-kun too."

"What does His Majesty Charlemagne think?"

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback, then understood Machida Sonoko's thoughts. "Are you that excited?"

"Aren't you looking forward to it? That's King Arthur, you'll regret it for the rest of your life if you miss it!" Machida Sonoko had no other thoughts, she just wanted to see him.

“Just call me Charlemagne, it doesn’t matter to me, I’ll do whatever Shiyu says,” Charlemagne replied cheerfully.

"I'm fine with it, but I might have to ask Sawamura-kun." Kasumigaoka Utaha was quite nonchalant.

"Then I'll have to ask Xiaoshi to make the contact!" Machida Sonoko clasped her hands together.

"I understand," Kasumigaoka Utaha said helplessly.
