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

In this world, what ultimately determines the future is power.

For the first time, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had underestimated himself, truly realized how painful it was to have his life and death in the hands of others. In comparison, although his previous life was full of terrible things, at least he never lost his life, whether it was the infighting between high castes or the oppression of lower-class people like him by popular people.

But the world has changed now.

A sudden sense of resentment rose in Hachiman Hikigaya's heart. If he died here, Komachi would be sad. Although he was a scoundrel, he was also a brother who deeply loved his sister!

"Those who offend the king shall atone with their lives!"

An arrogant and overbearing king pronounced his judgment, golden ripples spreading behind him, and an unbelievably dreamlike magic wand appeared.

Hachiman Hikigaya's heart sank to rock bottom.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression changed. She propped herself up, wanting to stand in front of him like Hikigaya Hachiman had done earlier.

Hachiman Hikigaya stopped Shizuka Hiratsuka, but he simply raised his head and looked at the golden Heroic Spirit.

Previously, he was considered too dazzling, and a dark creature like him was not worthy of it. However, he, who had always despised dignity, should at least show some dignity before he dies! Hachiman Hikigaya!

Two magic bullets were fired, easily piercing through the bodies of Hachiman Hikigaya and Minami Sagami, but not through any vital organs.

Blood flowed down, and Hachiman Hikigaya covered his wound, but in his heart he felt fortunate to have survived.

Minami Sagami, on the other hand, kept crying, clearly terrified.

"...Ha, if you remain in that humble state until your death, then you will truly deserve to die a thousand deaths."

"Thank me for my mercy in allowing you ignorant people to commit your first offense."

Gilgamesh hates being offended by others, but he hates incompetent humans even more. If Hachiman Hikigaya doesn't wake up in the end and continues to be so contemptuous of himself and his dignity, he really will die!

As a wise king and a king of men, C Flash's temper is much better than Alpha Flash's. If Alpha Flash is an unquestionable tyrant who would not care about modern rules, then C Flash is at least more tolerant of people—even if their inherent arrogance and ego are completely the same.

"Hmph, this place is full of incompetent people, not even worthy to be my servants, yet they dare to say that I can choose them."

Gilgamesh sneered, his crimson snake eyes fixed on Yijiao: "How should I punish you for deceiving the king, Taoist?"

"Please forgive me, King Gilgamesh." The black-haired Taoist stepped forward and bowed slightly. "It was my oversight."

"Boring."

Gilgamesh lost interest and said meaningfully, "Don't keep me bored, you mongrel."

"Of course, it should be an interesting thing."

Taigong Wang was very confident, after all, with their participation, the Holy Grail War would be very chaotic.

"Oh~ then I'll wait and see."

After saying this, Gilgamesh flew away on Vimana.

At this moment, the students who dared not breathe, along with Hachiman Hikigaya and Minami Sagami who had escaped death, and Shizuka Hiratsuka and Hayato Hayama who were extremely worried, all breathed a sigh of relief and their bodies went limp.

"Waaah," Sagami Minami sniffled, genuinely terrified. It was the first time she'd truly looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, this oddball in her class, with such seriousness. "Thank you, thank you, I'm sorry..."

Hachiman Hikigaya scratched his head, his gaze drifting, and sighed, "Be careful next time." Having escaped death so close, even Hachiman couldn't bring himself to say anything sarcastic. Besides, although Sagami Minami has some minor flaws, she's not a bad person at heart. This was purely an accident. They're all hothouse flowers, ignorant of their own limitations. If it wasn't Sagami Minami, it would have been someone else who angered Gilgamesh. Sagami Minami just happened to be there.

Hachiman Hikigaya understood this very well, but the immense terror of facing life and death prevented him from easily saying that he forgave him.

Seeing the relief of these people escaping death, Aoki Makoto, disguised as Taigong Wang, couldn't help but sigh. They were truly talented. Even knowing the diversity of humanity, he couldn't help but feel awe. Offending Gilgamesh? Aoki Makoto himself wouldn't dare, not even as an alias.

Because Gilgamesh's personality is too strong, even an alternate identity can only guide, not control. There is a similar plot in "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya" where the user uses Gilgamesh's cards and their own personality is almost completely devoured by Gilgamesh.

"Let me treat you." The black-haired Taoist slightly raised his whip, and with a flash of green light, the bleeding from Hachiman Hikigaya and Minami Sagami's wounds stopped, though they were still in some pain.

Taigong Wang said with a smile, "Oh my, you guys are really brave! I'm starting to admire you."

Hachiman Hikigaya covered his face in embarrassment: "No, I'm sorry, it's our fault."

How dare they! Do these high-ranking figures really have the audacity to mock people like them?!

"I was watching again just now." Taigong Wang twirled the whip in his hand. "Are you angry? I didn't even lift a finger."

“No, I’m still very grateful to you.” Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head. “If you had spoken up back then, we would have been doomed.”

That golden-haired heroic spirit clearly wouldn't listen to anyone's advice and hated interference from others. If Taikomochi had appeared at that time, the situation would have truly spiraled out of control.

"Besides, those ghosts were imprisoned and killed by you, weren't they?" Hachiman Hikigaya smiled bitterly. "I'm not that ungrateful. After all, you saved us."

Very clear-headed.

Taigong Wang raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"You have great potential."

"Huh?" Hachiman Hikigaya's dead fish eyes widened.

"Be pragmatic, make accurate judgments, act decisively, and be willing to lose face."

Taigong Wang sighed softly: "If not... you would be the best choice."

Even Gilgamesh, that king might look down on Hachiman Hikigaya for being unambitious, but if Hachiman Hikigaya corrects some of his flaws, he would at least accept this subject. Yukinoshita is a bit inferior to him.

After all, Yukino Yukinoshita is far less pragmatic than Kaguya Shinomiya.

But the problem isn't that Hachiman Hikigaya isn't a girl; rather, his personality flaws are also fatal.

It must be said that, setting aside his own special qualities, Makoto Aoki's overall abilities are inferior to Hachiman Hikigaya's.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya also has his fatal flaw: he is too indifferent to himself. In everyday life, he might experience psychological distress or social anxiety, but in a supernatural setting, he would most likely lose his life.

Forget it.

Makoto Aoki thought that Gilgamesh probably wouldn't look down on anyone. The Master that Gilgamesh could accept would at least be someone like Siduri, someone he could trust as a subject. By the way, are there any slice-of-life anime of this type?

But this time, Makoto Aoki wasn't in a hurry. After all, Gilgamesh's treasury contained so many good things that he wouldn't lack mana even without a Master, so not having a Master wouldn't make a difference.

Faced with Taikomochi's praise, Hikigaya... Hikigaya Hachiman had mixed feelings.

Well, being praised by a Heroic Spirit like Taikomochi, who is at the very top of the food chain, is certainly something to be proud of. Even Hachiman, who has suffered a lot in this regard due to his squid identity, was somewhat moved.

After all, this is Taigong Wang; his words carry more weight than those of the Prime Minister.

But this praise also meant trouble, so Hikigaya naturally had mixed feelings.

"Want to try a change? Are you really satisfied with your life right now? It's not that you like it, but rather that you feel helpless about it."

"I can give you a chance, but you'll most likely die."

"You can think it over carefully, after all, I'm not some kind of devil~"

The black-haired Taoist priest uttered words that sent chills down one's spine.

But Hachiman Hikigaya had to admit that he was tempted. In his recent encounter, he realized that continuing to slack off was not an option. Who says people don't die in everyday life? When there are monsters around, you can die anywhere!

"I, um... I think..." But if he could make a decisive decision and speak properly, he wouldn't be Hachiman Hikigaya.

"You can think about it. I'll ask you for your answer at the last minute."

Leaving behind these words, Taigong Wang rode away on his four mythical beasts.

Only Hachiman Hikigaya remained, and cold sweat broke out on his back as he faced the sudden, intense gazes of his classmates.

Ah, his peaceful life is gone forever.
