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

Golden lightning raged, weaving a golden electric net under the pull of the giant axe. Under this power, the fragile skeleton soldiers died instantly upon contact, all scattering into a pile.

In this situation of pure stomping of weaklings, Sakata Kintoki seemed a bit bored. After all, if there weren't so many of them, and using his Noble Phantasm would be a complete waste, he would have wiped them all out long ago.

However, with limited magical energy, Sakata Kintoki needs to be frugal, as he still needs to support the next location.

The students in the teaching building gasped in surprise. With no casualties, they treated it like a live Hollywood blockbuster and even had the leisure to comment.

"Slurp, looking at that perfect body, hehe, hehe..."

"Put your pants on, sister!"

"One of the legendary Four Heavenly Kings of Raikou, son of the Raijin of Ashigarayama, and the protagonist of the Kintaro legend. I thought he would be a silly, strong man, but now it seems... he is definitely strong, but he is so handsome that my legs are weak!"

Such extreme remarks warrant arrest by the police.

A bunch of mindless weeds! Now is not the time to be careless! Once Sakata Kintoki is defeated, they will be meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Kaguya Shinomiya inwardly berated herself. She exchanged a glance with Ai Hayasaka beside her. The maid, who had received elite education, nodded slightly, indicating that she had already found a route and method for retreat.

As for why we didn't take action earlier, it was simply because we saw the news and realized that other places weren't safe either, and there was at least one heroic spirit still fighting here.

As for Fujiwara Chika... she had already perfectly blended into the excited chattering crowd, and was just waiting for Kaguya to casually snatch her away.

However, Kaguya Shinomiya's backup plan was clearly not used. Some skeleton soldiers appeared on Shuchiin's side, but even the giant skeleton that followed was cleaved in two by Sakata Kintoki with an axe, posing no threat whatsoever.

At that moment, Kaguya Shinomiya received a message.

"

Kaguya attempts to sign a contract with Sakata Kintoki.

from Shigong Yunying

'

Kaguya Shinomiya closed her flip phone. Of course, she knew what her third brother meant. Oda Nobunaga's contractor was no longer a secret. This would bring both crisis and huge benefits to the Nakano family and herself.

If she, a member of the Shinomiya family, were to sign a contract with Sakata Kintoki, then all she would gain would be pure profit. Needless to say, at least in such a critical moment, the Shinomiya family would no longer have to worry about their safety. Otherwise, in the face of monsters, even members of the Shinomiya family would be nothing more than ordinary meat.

She herself didn't want to suffer another life-threatening situation like the one she had just faced.

Moreover, with the power of Heroic Spirits, even the Shinomiya family can no longer restrain themselves.

Even though she knew this was the most advantageous option, Kaguya Shinomiya felt a slight resistance when she thought of Sakata Kintoki's clear eyes.

“Young lady,” Hayasaka Ai also saw the message, “if you are unwilling, then I…” Hayasaka Ai’s existence is like that of a shadow dancer from the old era.

"No need." Kaguya Shinomiya closed her eyes, and when she opened them, her bright red eyes were filled with determination. "I will do it."

Of course, even if it was a deception, she would repay the favor of saving her life later.

She forcibly suppressed the slight resistance in her heart and chose to take the initiative.

Kaguya Shinomiya is incredibly efficient; while others hesitated and observed, she disregarded the danger and approached Kintoki Sakata.

"Your Highness, may I speak with you in private?"

"Just call me Kintoki. Just say what you want to say." Sakata Kintoki doesn't seem to have any guile. Even though his face is angular and he's breathtakingly handsome, his mannerisms and speech are those of a big boy.

The kind that's exceptionally innocent.

"I am very grateful to Kim Shi-kun for saving me, and I sincerely want to repay him. So, may I stay here for a while? I would like to treat you well."

Even if she usually appears as Ice Kaguya, how could Shinomiya not be able to disguise herself if she wanted to?

Kaguya Shinomiya uses the "Innocent and Pure" (acting cute) negotiation technique, a uniquely passed-down technique created by the Shinomiya family. It is said that even the gods would be moved by her perfectly calculated expressions and voice, though there are no known examples of this.

However, the man standing before her, Sakata Kintoki, the son of Thor, could undoubtedly be called a demigod.

"Ah, well, you don't have to do this if you don't want to laugh." Sakata Kintoki looked a little embarrassed. Although he was a big boy, his eyes were still as clear as the blue sky. "I hope you can laugh sincerely. That would be the reward that makes me happiest."

Kaguya Shinomiya was struck dumb; her tried-and-true "pure innocence" had actually suffered a crushing defeat!

Despite being a very simple person, she can keenly see through others' disguises; is this what is known as being intuitive?

"A genuine smile? What kind of reward is that?" Having been seen through, Kaguya Shinomiya returned to her normal demeanor, even becoming somewhat wary. She believed that this reward was completely disproportionate to her life, and anyone demanding such a cheap payment undoubtedly wanted more.

"Really, that's enough." Sakata Kintoki's smile was always vibrant. "I wouldn't lie, that would be too un-Golden!"

Incomprehensible.

Completely incomprehensible.

Kaguya Shinomiya, with her purely self-serving and rational mind, simply cannot comprehend the existence of someone like Kintoki Sakata in the world.

How could someone go out to help and save others without asking for any reward or benefit?

Even if history books wrote it that way, Kaguya Shinomiya would scoff at it, believing it was merely history trying to glorify achievements and correctness—in her worldview cultivated from childhood, no one would help you for no reason, and all driving forces were self-interest.

However, a man with such pure kindness and selfless devotion actually appeared before me.

impossible?

Kaguya Shinomiya continued to work her brain, analyzing Sakata Kintoki's micro-expressions, movements, and words comprehensively, and finally concluded that he was not lying.

This rendered her usual scheming and plotting useless; she could only wear a blank expression, her bright red eyes wide open.

Extremely cute.

Kaguya Shinomiya was bewildered. She couldn't understand Kintoki's thoughts, but how could she sign a contract with him if she tried to sway him with benefits?

Sakata Kintoki sensed Shinomiya Kaguya's predicament. He was indeed a stubborn man, but precisely because of this, he had a remarkably keen intuition. This was the essence of a childlike heart; his ability to communicate with animals undoubtedly gave him a pure and innocent soul.

"I said if you need help, just one sentence is enough."

"—I will become your companion."

Is it really possible? She had been doubting it, but the man's firm and unwavering gaze told her that he would.

He would help her without any exchange of benefits; as long as she asked for help, he would definitely do so.

A strange emotion welled up in her chest. Kaguya Shinomiya grasped this moment of intuition and, for the first time, wanted to believe in such a foolish thing without analysis or calculation.

Take a deep breath.

"Please help me, sign a contract with me!"
