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

Cú Chulainn's morning of hard work resulted in... 0!

"This is illogical!" Cú Chulainn exclaimed incredulously. His luck was a full D, which, while not exceptionally high, was still far ahead of other Cú Chulainns. Wait, Sertante, that sword-wielding traitor, wasn't among them. What kind of Cú Chulainn is an A in luck?!

Hiratsuka Shizuka almost burst out laughing, then comforted her servant who had a dark expression: "It's okay, we just had bad luck this morning, we can come back this afternoon."

For her, it was quite amusing to simply watch her servants' expressions while fishing.

"No way, a fisherman will never go home empty-handed!"

Cú Chulainn gazed at the azure ocean, then suddenly leaped into the sea.

"Cú Chulainn!" Hiratsuka Shizuka exclaimed in shock. She leaned against the side of the ship and realized that Cú Chulainn had vanished in an instant. Although she knew that Heroic Spirits did not need to breathe and could not be in any danger, she was still worried and felt guilty.

"I should have known better than to make fun of him." Hiratsuka Shizuka regretted it a little. "Have I been a bit too presumptuous lately?"

She knew he wasn't the ideal man she truly wanted, but sometimes, her heart just wouldn't follow reason.

Looking at the calm sea, Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression was indescribably complicated. As time passed, she began to worry.

Why aren't they coming up yet?! Hiratsuka Shizuka stared intently at the sea. Even though she knew the Heroic Spirit would be alright, she was still worried because they hadn't come up for so long.

At that moment, a figure suddenly darted out of the sea, startling Hiratsuka Shizuka. She then realized what was happening and met Cú Chulainn's crimson eyes.

His blue braids were dripping wet. He casually ran his fingers through his damp hair, revealing a smooth forehead, handsome features, and red eyes.

Compared to his more mature self, Cú Chulainn has a more youthful air about him; his red eyes are not frightening, but rather full of vitality and confidence.

He suddenly flung the enormous tuna that he had been holding in his arms onto the boat. The two-meter-long tuna struggled and thrashed about, its tail and body flailing. The small boat seemed about to capsize, and the fishy-smelling water splashed onto Hiratsuka Shizuka's face.

"Whoa!" Hiratsuka Shizuka wiped the seawater splashed on her face, feeling like she smelled fishy all over, and punched Cú Chulainn in the shoulder in annoyance. "Why did you suddenly throw that at me!"

"For this, huh?" Cú Chulainn leaped up nimbly with his right hand, punched the tuna, knocking it unconscious, and then returned to sit on the gunwale like Hiratsuka Shizuka, spreading his left hand out. "Look!"

"This is... a black pearl?"

In Cú Chulainn's palm lay a large, perfectly round black pearl. The pearl, as black as night, refracted sunlight to reveal peacock green, deep purple, and sea blue hues, a beauty that seemed both dreamlike and ethereal.

Moreover, this black pearl was enormous, comparable to the Black Star treasured by the Suzuki family. Unlike the Black Star, which required a handkerchief to remove, Cú Chulainn simply held this priceless pearl in his palm without a care in the world.

No woman could resist such a beautiful pearl. Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her lips, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she stared at the pearl without blinking.

“I was looking for a bigger prey, so I dived really deep and that’s when I found this.” Cú Chulainn handed it to Hiratsuka Shizuka. “I thought this would be perfect for you, so I just grabbed it.”

For heroic spirits, water pressure that normal people cannot withstand is nothing.

"Why did you give me this?" Hiratsuka Shizuka subconsciously pursed her lips, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Haven't you always wanted me to marry you?" Cú Chulainn's overly frank words instantly ignited Hiratsuka Shizuka's sense of shame, and her entire face turned as red as a tomato.

"Who, who said that! No way!" Hiratsuka Shizuka retorted loudly, her face turning bright red.

"It doesn't matter whether I have it or not." Cú Chulainn waved his hand dismissively. Arrogance had no effect on him, since he would only do things at his own pace. "I heard that you need diamonds to get married these days, but I don't have any of those. This pearl looks pretty."

“No,” Cú Chulainn laughed heartily, his face beaming with excitement. His handsome features and strong, muscular body exuded boundless masculinity. “It’s yours. Consider it an early gift.”

what gift?

Hiratsuka Shizuka thought for a moment before combining the sentences in the context and realized that Cú Chulainn was referring to a wedding gift!

In an instant, all the blood and energy in her body rushed to the top of her head, and Hiratsuka Shizuka's brain completely shut down.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped thinking.

……

"How is it, Lord Shirogane?" Wearing a jet-black one-piece swimsuit, which was clearly a conservative type, but her superb figure and the hollowed-out design made her only feel more alluring. Murasaki Shikibu worriedly waved her fan and knelt on the ground, looking at Shirogane Miyuki lying on the beach without any image.

"Xiangzi...cough cough cough cough!" Shirogane Miyuki coughed wildly, finally managing to cough up the water he had choked on earlier, and then he was met by Murasaki Shikibu's incredibly imposing figure as she approached.

Shirogane Miyuki blushed, instinctively leaned back, and bumped his head.

Don't blame him for reacting so strongly. Before he fell in love with Kaguya Shinomiya, he was a big-breasted guy!

However, he never imagined that Murasaki Shikibu, such a delicate, gentle, beautiful, and intelligent woman, would have such a voluptuous figure beneath her heavy kimono! It was too much!

"Are you alright, Lady Shirogane?" Murasaki Shikibu asked with concern. "Would you like to rest over there for a while?"

"No need!" Despite the soreness in his muscles, Shirogane Miyuki struggled to his feet. "I will definitely learn to swim today!" Even after sinking more than ten times, Shirogane Miyuki resolutely chose to continue.

"Lord Shirogane, why be so persistent?" Murasaki Shikibu was very worried, after all, Shirogane Miyuki's face looked a little pale. His limbs were a bit uncoordinated, and he was not good at any sport.

"Because I promised you!" Shirogane Miyuki's eyes were firm, like a rock. "I wanted to enjoy the summer with you. Although I've already taught you about modern summers, swimming is also part of summer. How can I teach you if I don't know how?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely learn it!" What is most commendable about Shirogane Miyuki is his indomitable spirit of never giving up.

Murasaki Shikibu was taken aback, then, remembering how Shirogane Miyuki had spent countless days and nights memorizing massive tomes to educate her, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face: "Kyoko believes in Lord Shirogane; he can definitely do it!"

Shirogane Miyuki blushed, his gaze drifting slightly. "Actually, you don't need to stay with me all the time. Didn't you want to gather materials? You can go play somewhere else first, and I'll teach you after I've learned it." The point was, Shirogane Miyuki really didn't want to repeatedly show such a pathetic state in front of Murasaki Shikibu!

"No need, please let me stay with you, Lady Shirogane." Murasaki Shikibu smiled gently.

So, Shirogane Miyuki rushed into the sea for the nth time, but this time he inadvertently noticed Murasaki Shikibu writing and drawing something on the beach.

"What are you doing, Xiangzi?" Shirogane Miyuki asked casually.

"I am recording Lord Shirogane's heroic figure." Murasaki Shikibu smiled brightly. "This summer, I want to record Lord Shirogane's hard work in words. This is the story I want to write."

Write about him? Shirogane Miyuki was taken aback, then his face flushed red. That was Murasaki Shikibu, the author of *The Tale of Genji*! Writing about him…

"Well then, let's do our best, Xiangzi!" No matter what, we still need to give Xiangzi confidence.

"Yes, Lord Shirogane!"

……

"Is that so, Lord Achilles!" Sonoko Suzuki adjusted her posture, finally managing to swim a couple of strokes smoothly on the surface of the sea. "Look! I... Ahhh... gurgle gurgle..."

After struggling for a while, Sonoko Suzuki lost her composure due to her excitement. Her body suddenly became heavy, and she plunged into the sea. After choking on water, she became even more panicked. She flailed her limbs wildly, which only made her sink even faster.

Just as she was about to sink, she felt a pair of strong arms lift her up. Suzuki Sonoko instinctively hugged the neck of the person in front of her and leaned against him. His strong and full chest rose and fell with his breath, carrying an amazing heat and a powerful sense of strength.

"Cough cough cough cough!!" Sonoko Suzuki coughed for a while before she calmed down a little.

"Be careful when you first start learning, don't be so reckless."

Achilles held her up with one hand and gently patted her back with the other. Although he looked a little impatient and didn't say anything nice, his actions were very gentle.

"I... I also wanted Lord Achilles to see you." Sonoko Suzuki said stubbornly for a moment, then realized that her current position was a bit awkward. She was basically hanging on Achilles, with her arms around his neck and her face against his chest, able to feel his breath and warmth.

Achilles lifted her up, almost as if he were embracing her.

Sonoko Suzuki's face flushed red instantly. Although she had always liked handsome men and had enthusiastically pursued many good-looking men, Sonoko Suzuki's luck was truly exceptional. She always encountered scumbags, or they would fall for Ran and ignore her.

However, Achilles is different. He is a true epic hero who will keep his promises once he makes them. As long as Sonoko Suzuki doesn't make any mistakes, he will uphold the contract.

To date, Sonoko Suzuki has never had any romantic relationships, and this is the first time she has been so close to a man.

She almost pushed Achilles away, but then she thought, wasn't the very reason she had urged Achilles to teach her to swim for this moment of close contact? Now that her dream had come true, Sonoko Suzuki was a little reluctant to let go.

She looked up at Achilles's sharp, razor-sharp features. His handsomeness was striking, just like him—fiery and incisive.

“I already told you not to call me ‘Master,’ just call me by my name.” Achilles wasn’t used to being addressed with honorifics, and he was completely unaware of Sonoko Suzuki’s little scheme. “Besides, you’re the Master, so logically I should be the one calling you that.”

"Would you call me 'Sir'?" Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but fantasize for a second about Queen Sonoko.

"No," Achilles replied firmly.

“Okay.” Sonoko Suzuki didn’t seem disappointed. She affectionately nuzzled Achilles’ shoulder twice. “Anyway, I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Achilles, carrying Sonoko Suzuki who was hanging on him like she had no bones, said, "Alright, now let's continue trying. Remember to keep your movements smooth and don't get carried away like you were before."

Sonoko Suzuki couldn't help but puff out her cheeks: "Lord Achilles, you're too strict!"

Achilles glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "Is this considered strict? It's nowhere near as strict as I was back then."

It's important to know that in the age of gods in Greece, even women were physically strong, and there were even female warriors like the Amazons.

In comparison, Achilles was incredibly lenient with Sonoko Suzuki, after all, she was really too weak.

Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Achilles' arm: "What was Lord Achilles like when he was a child?"

"Will you learn to swim like this too? Also, Lord Achilles was raised by the sage Chiron, right? It must have been very tough for him back then."

"When I was little... that was fine, and I didn't have to learn to swim," Achilles recalled. "After all, my mother was a sea goddess, and I was naturally drawn to water."

“As for Teacher Chiron…” Achilles shuddered, “it’s an endless hell of homework.”

Sonoko Suzuki blinked, genuinely curious about what Achilles had gone through to be such a fearless and valiant hero who wasn't even afraid of death, yet was so terrified of Chiron.

"Alright, hurry up and practice. If you keep going like this, you won't learn to swim by the end of summer." Achilles let go of Sonoko Suzuki and let her thrash around in the water, but he stayed close enough to help her whenever needed.

Actually, Sonoko Suzuki was using this as an excuse to get closer to Achilles. She already had some basic swimming skills, so she was able to swim quite well in no time.

"Now that you've learned it, I'm going to the volleyball side." Achilles was also getting a little excited thinking about the match between King Arthur and Charlemagne that he had just witnessed.

"No, Lord Achilles!" Sonoko Suzuki clung to Achilles' arm. "I want to learn to scuba dive. As the son of the sea goddess, you must be very good at it!"

“Indeed…fighting the ocean is quite an interesting thing.” Achilles said with great enthusiasm, as if recalling the past.

"So take me with you!" Sonoko Suzuki started to whine and beg. She had long seen through Achilles. He seemed aloof, but he was actually quite tolerant and affectionate towards those he had included among his own.

"Alright, but don't complain!" Achilles glanced at the thin-armed and thin-legged Sonoko Suzuki, but finally nodded.

"That's wonderful, Lord Achilles!" Sonoko Suzuki exclaimed excitedly, hugging Achilles with a radiant smile.

This time, Sonoko Suzuki has won a great victory!
