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

"so tired!"

Makoto Aoki lay paralyzed on the bed, not wanting to move a single finger.

"It felt like I had run ten kilometers with a heavy load and then crossed a one-kilometer obstacle course. I was completely exhausted."

Makoto Aoki commented on his first experience in this way.

Well, don't get me wrong, this is my first experience wearing the disguise of a Heroic Spirit.

"Master, is there something wrong with your body?" A gentle yet elegant voice sounded in his ear as the blond knight asked with concern.

Aoki Makoto shrugged and sized up the knight in front of him.

If you've ever played FGO, or even know a little about the Fate series, you'll know who this blond, blue-eyed, handsome young man, like a prince on a white horse, is.

Arthur Pendragon, also known as the Old Sword, is the legendary King Arthur of Great Britain, the King of Knights, and the wielder of the Star Sword.

Actually, the character was created much earlier than Artoria, the mascot of Fate. Unfortunately, the male version of himself is not treated as well as the female version, and his popularity is nowhere near that of the female version.

Of course, due to the game mechanics, he has a special attack against giant beasts in the game, and is jokingly called the "Pig Slaughtering Prince," which is also the reason why Makoto Aoki chose him.

Although I control it myself, the feeling is actually quite strange. It's like having a part of my mind separated out. If I concentrate, I can take over the Servant's actions, but otherwise I just have a vague feeling about it.

"Do not bother me."

Makoto Aoki propped himself up: "How's the mana replenishment?" Even though he was in control, he still had to ask.

"That's probably one-tenth of the battle." Aoki Arthur said with a hearty smile.

"Are you a pig?!" This was Aoki Makoto's honest thought. "That's half a month's worth of food for me!"

Makoto Aoki has top-notch magical talent, but it was too urgent and there were no spiritual veins to share the burden. Even the strongest magician would find it difficult to keep up with the Servant's mana consumption. In addition, after the battle just now, Makoto Aoki also planned to save some mana as a reserve.

In the methods of supplying demons, it's impossible for two grown men to exchange bodily fluids, since they're not gay. The only remaining method is to share food, which is less efficient but better than nothing.

However, Aoki Makoto ordered a huge amount of takeout, enough to feed himself for half a month, and provided it to King Arthur to replenish only one-tenth of what he had consumed in this battle. And that was before he even unleashed his Noble Phantasm!

"No way." Aoki Makoto propped his head up with his hand. "We need to set up the spiritual veins as soon as possible, and find you a Master while we're at it. I definitely can't do it all on my own!"

"Oh right, I think I saved a girl before, she was a blonde with pigtails?"

Makoto Aoki struggled to recall, since Eriri's hair was covered in dust and she couldn't make out what she looked like at all.

"These attributes make her seem like an ordinary person. Does she have a talent for magic?"

Yes, it's very good.

“Then let’s make her a potential Master candidate.” Makoto Aoki crossed his arms. “I guess she’s some kind of main or supporting female character from an anime. Anyway, we need to find someone to share the mana drain with you as soon as possible.”

Thinking of this, Makoto Aoki sighed. You know, King Arthur wasn't even the biggest mana consumer; Karna was the one who really burned through mana!

Let King Arthur become a spirit to save energy, Makoto Aoki continues to lie still, and then a message pops up on WeChat.

He didn't want to see any news, and Aoki Makoto turned over.

wrong!

The black-haired boy realized, how could there be a message on WeChat?! That was his cheat-like phone that had been disconnected from the internet for a long time!

Makoto Aoki sat up abruptly, turned on his phone, and saw a picture of the orange-haired savior prominently displayed in his new friends list.

It's Gudako!!

Makoto Aoki quickly accepted the request, but for a moment he didn't know how to start a conversation.

Introduce yourself? That's too formal.

Expressing admiration? Wouldn't that be too overly familiar?

Makoto Aoki was torn between his conscience and his own thoughts; how should he greet them?

As a result, the other party displayed "Input in progress..."

"Hello, I am Fujimaru Ritsuka."

Makoto Aoki took a deep breath and replied.

"Hello, I am Makoto Aoki."

He regretted posting it as soon as he did; was he being too serious?

"I've heard about what happened to you, Aoki-kun. We're in the same boat."

Fujimaru Ritsuka understands why everyone loses to the savior who was forced into the role.

"That's true, you can just call me by my name."

After posting about Makoto Aoki, I regretted it. Doesn't that seem a bit frivolous?

“Alright then, Cheng-kun, you can call me Ritsuka.”

"Yes, Ritsuka!"

Ahhh, they called my name! That means we're getting married soon!

"We've had similar experiences, and now we know each other by name, so we're friends!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka is the one who's truly outgoing and friendly.

Even through the screen, Makoto Aoki could imagine the smile on Ritsuka Fujimaru's face, her golden eyes shining brighter than the stars.

"Yes, of course we're friends."

Makoto Aoki thought, "It would have been perfect if I had added the word 'woman' to it!"

"Since we're friends, I'll just say it directly."

"It's terrifying, isn't it, Mr. Cheng?"

With his finger hovering over the input method, Makoto Aoki thought, "As expected of Ritsuka Fujimaru, always so perceptive and straightforward."

Is it scary? Is it frightening?

Fujimaru Ritsuka used an affirmative sentence.

Yes.

Aoki Makoto's fingers clenched slightly; how could he not be afraid!

In the end, even if he were to live another life, he would still be just an ordinary person who had never fought before or faced such a monster. Yet, he was forced into this situation by the world's consciousness and faced a demonic boar that could kill even heroes without any psychological preparation.

When choosing King Arthur, they hadn't really thought about it; they were just choosing based on instinct. Instinct made the choice that was more advantageous and more likely to save their lives.

Even if he himself did not die, the fear and pain of facing death still existed. At that time, Makoto Aoki was really afraid that he would die.

He wasn't a hero who feared death, just an ordinary person, the "mystery prince" touted by the outside world, but those books were just plagiarized.

He knew he was ordinary, so all he could do was immerse himself in the Heroic Spirit's personality and let the Heroic Spirit act according to instinct and consciousness. That way, he would be stronger, he would be better.

The moment he defeated the demonic boar, he almost collapsed to the ground, but his last shred of reason allowed him to depart in spirit form.

However, even now, Makoto Aoki is still afraid.

I don't want to face those monsters anymore, I don't want to fight those monsters, and this thought has never disappeared.

Because Makoto Aoki is just an ordinary person.

“I was worried before, is it really okay? It’s terrible that they’re shifting the responsibility onto you so inexplicably.”

On the chat interface, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to send messages.

“I’ve been through something like that too, so I understand.”

Of course, Fujimaru Ritsuka was inexplicably pulled into Chaldea, and by a twist of fate, she escaped the annihilation crisis. In the end, she was forced to become humanity's last Master and savior before the world was doomed.

"From ordinary daily life to battle, to life-or-death crisis, one has to bear a burden that is enough to crush oneself."

"I was really scared and confused."

Every word Fujimaru Ritsuka said seemed to strike the deepest part of Aoki Makoto's heart.

"Knowing that Chengjun is alright, I really felt relieved."

"Chengjun, you are very brave. Don't doubt yourself. You are far more capable than you think you can do this."

She gave Aoki Makoto her approval without hesitation.

"However, please think it through, Mr. Cheng."

"Are you really determined to continue? Even if it means continuing to fight, and even facing death later, are you really going to continue?"

"This is something only you can decide; don't worry about others."

"Please don't worry, the world will be destroyed if you choose to refuse. I will come to help you, even if my world doesn't allow it, I will definitely come to help you."

It wasn't mockery or anything; Fujimaru Ritsuka was wholeheartedly thinking of Aoki Makoto's best interests.

"Please trust me."

Really.

Makoto Aoki felt a soreness in his chest and his eyes welled up with tears.

What's going on?! He's a grown man, why is he acting like a girl in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, even wanting to cry?!

No, not crying in front of girls is a man's bottom line!

Makoto Aoki took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down.

He knew that a better option was now in front of him.

Choose to give up and let Fujimaru Ritsuka handle everything.

Fujimaru Ritsuka could do it; even if the Fate world didn't allow it, she couldn't refuse the savior she deeply loved.

This way, he can see Fujimaru Ritsuka without having to fight.

For a creature driven by self-interest like him, this is definitely the best option.

But... are you kidding me!

Makoto Aoki clenched his fists. He was a man! If he did nothing and let the girl he liked save him, he would despise himself!

In that case, how could he possibly have the face to say that he likes Fujimaru Ritsuka and pursue her?

At that moment, Makoto Aoki made up his mind.

Perhaps that's just how men are; they absolutely refuse to back down in front of a girl they like, a feeling that even surpasses their fear of battle and death.

He wanted to become a hero, a savior of the world, only then could he and Fujimaru Ritsuka be equals, and not appear inferior in front of the heroic spirits beside her. Only then could he freely express his feelings when they truly met.

After all, he has a lot of rivals in love! (Sad face)

"Ritsuka, I've made up my mind."

Makoto Aoki blurted out something out of the blue, but he knew that Ritsuka Fujimaru would understand it.

"I will keep going. I want to be a hero. I will save my world myself!"

"I want to be a man worthy of you!" Makoto Aoki kept these unspoken words deep in his heart.

"Chengjun, you can definitely do it! Keep it up!"

Without a doubt, Fujimaru Ritsuka encouraged.

"Ok!"
