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

"The Holy Grail is going to appear? Why is it going to appear? Where will it appear from?" Makoto Aoki kept pressing Fou for answers. He was starting to panic. If the Holy Grail appeared and summoned a bunch of Servants, wouldn't the situation collapse?!

"Don't get excited!" Pseudo-Fou flapped her little paws and rolled her eyes wildly. "I already said that the Fate world and our world collided, so there was some overlap."

"A certain Holy Grail War has been drawn into a place where two worlds overlap." Fou pointed her paw at Makoto Aoki. "Your mission is to lead the Masters of this world to defeat all the participants of that war and seize the Holy Grail!"

Makoto Aoki: "...Which Holy Grail War is it?" You should know that there is a big difference between the Holy Grail Wars. Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night are two different difficulties. There are also special modes like Faith in the Age of Extinction or the Moon World, as well as Holy Grail Wars that are either famous or not. Each of them has a different difficulty.

Fake Fufu shrugged: "How should I know?"

Makoto Aoki held back for a while, but couldn't hold back any longer: "Then what are you talking to me about? You don't even know which Holy Grail War it is, what are you going to fight for! And those Masters are basically all dragging us down!" In his desperation, he even swore.

Fake Fufu licked her paws: "Then let's die together."

"What does whether you get the Holy Grail or not have to do with whether you live or die?" Makoto Aoki couldn't understand.

“Because the two worlds overlapped, the Holy Grail also absorbed a large amount of magic power from our world. Our world already has little magic power, and the Holy Grail is already connected to the ley lines of that place. You can think of it as the only singularity…” Pseudo-Fou spread her hands. “If we can’t get the Holy Grail, that area will become a huge void, and our world will be severely damaged. But the monsters that were left over from the Fate world will not be weakened.”

"In fact, according to my perception, the beast will manifest in this world in at most one year."

Makoto Aoki nearly vomited blood: "Why didn't you say so earlier—"

He started to get anxious. He had to admit that if he had known the time was so tight, he would have definitely sped up the process and wouldn't have dawdled over some routine tasks.

"That's because you haven't taken this to heart," Fake Fufu said, wagging her squirrel tail. "It's all your own fault."

"Looking back and forth, hesitating and indecisive, is neither smart nor decisive. If I had no other choice, I would definitely not have chosen you."

Makoto Aoki paused, an embarrassed expression on his face. But he had to admit that he wasn't exactly an outstanding person, and he bore undeniable responsibility for how things had come to this.

"But now we're all in this together, there's nothing we can do." Fake Fou changed the subject. "If you can snatch that Holy Grail that absorbed the magic power of two worlds, you still have a chance to turn things around. It can at least supply magic power to a double number of Servants. So, what do you choose?"

Makoto Aoki remained silent.

He wiped his face, his expression somewhat ferocious: "How do you think I should choose? Being able to choose my own Servant gives me an advantage!" You know, good artifacts aren't easy to find. Just like Ken, the master of the original Fate/Zero series, after Waver stole his artifacts, he had to settle for second best. Although his stats weren't bad, they were definitely not as good as the King of Conquerors.

"I will definitely get the Holy Grail!"

"Then good luck, Aoki-kun~" Fake Fou shook her paw.

“But the biggest problem now is the lack of a suitable Master.” Aoki Makoto took a deep breath, his eyes sharp.

It's important to know that people die in the Holy Grail War, even in the relatively easy Fifth Holy Grail War. He doesn't think the male and female protagonists in most slice-of-life anime can handle that, but reality doesn't allow them to grow up slowly.

Personally, Makoto Aoki doesn't want to choose a Master who is too complicated, such as the various undercover agents and the Black Organization in Detective Conan. They are good people, but they are too strong-willed and difficult to guide and manipulate. Given that Makoto Aoki is not yet in control of the situation, choosing these people would be a slow suicide.

Because they are disobedient and too perceptive, once they notice Aoki Makoto's problem, they will cause trouble instead.

"Oh?"

"As the world's consciousness, why don't you introduce your own son and daughter to me?" He was searching for his Master like looking for a needle in a haystack before. If he knew the details, he could easily select a suitable candidate himself.

Fake Fufu washed her face with her paws: "Okay."

"By the way, there will be another wave of monsters before the Holy Grail descends. This time it won't be a small-scale attack; it will affect the entire country. Judging from this trend, the next one will probably be the whole world."

"What should we do then?" Aoki Makoto asked anxiously. "The impact is too widespread; I can't resolve it quickly."

"Then there's no need to push yourself too hard."

"Huh?" Makoto Aoki was stunned. There was such a reverse operation?

"But in this case..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if many people die."

"But, but a lot of people will really die!"

"So what?" Compared to the surprised Makoto Aoki, Pseudo-Fou seemed quite indifferent. "As long as the remaining people can continue, that's fine."

His tone was calm.

Makoto Aoki then realized that the seemingly cute Fou was actually the true will of the world. It didn't care how many people died; as long as it could advance, it didn't care how many people died.

As long as humanity can continue, that's all that matters. How much of the seven billion will be left is not its concern.

It might focus on some so-called important characters like the male and female leads, but only to a small extent. If they actually die, it's not that important.

It is a world, not a babysitter.

Now that it's about to advance, the original plot is no longer so important.

"I, I know."

Makoto Aoki took a deep breath. He couldn't possibly be completely indifferent to the fake Fufu, could he? Even if it was a necessary sacrifice, he should at least make the number of sacrifices smaller.

Otherwise, what use is he as a savior?

After the fake Fufu left, Makoto Aoki couldn't help but open a chat app and communicate with Ritsuka Fujimaru.

He told Fujimaru Ritsuka about what had recently happened.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: I'm sorry, perhaps I'm being too sensitive, but I feel that your recent changes are a bit strange. The idea of ​​a human army doesn't seem like something you would come up with.

Makoto Aoki said that people change, until he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's next sentence.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: That's more like a letter.

Aoki Makoto was startled. He began to recall why he had such a thought before. Not long ago, he was still hesitant and cautious, but soon he had such a crazy idea on his own.

There's another problem: his attitude towards Kaguya Shinomiya is completely unlike his usual self. If it were before, he would never have looked at Kaguya Shinomiya with that kind of gaze, which triggered her stressful reaction.

However, his gaze was less lewd and more scrutinizing, resembling the thoughts of a woman like BB, and he even thought that Kaguya Shinomiya was inferior to his own alternate identity. Looking back now, it was truly a bit perverted.

Makoto Aoki suddenly felt his mind was in complete chaos. At this moment, he couldn't even distinguish which of his thoughts were his own and which were influenced by the Heroic Spirit's personality.

Makoto Aoki: Perhaps I was influenced in reverse by the Heroic Spirits.

None of the other accounts he's read are like this. Is it really because he's too bad at the game? This is just too hopeless.
