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

Of the three Masters currently in power, Nakano Miku agreed to participate in this cruel Holy Grail War out of her own goodwill, her love for Oda Nobunaga, and her concern for her family.

Eriri's thoughts were much simpler.

She had fallen in love with Jiu Jian wholeheartedly and trusted him completely, so she didn't think too much about it.

"Are you really alright, Eriri?" The blond knight king's brows furrowed with worry. "Even I can't say I can protect you while you're involved in the Holy Grail War."

"Shh~" Eriri covered Arthur's mouth.

The blonde girl with pigtails had clear, bright eyes, as if even if the whole world were in front of her, she would only see the shadow of the young man in front of her.

"You are my knight, you will definitely protect me."

"I have always believed this."

Eriri said without the slightest hesitation that this was her decisiveness, her unwavering determination.

She always falls short of courage and perseverance, so she should never leave herself a way out again.

Just like Xiaolan said, this is her love, and she is not willing to give up.

"So, even if hell lies ahead, please take me with you."

"My knight."

At this moment, even King Arthur was speechless for a moment, his determination to risk everything for the girl was evident.

"With the sword in my hand, in the name of Arthur Pandoragon, I will protect you with my life until the end."

As for Kaguya Shinomiya, she would absolutely keep her promise; that was her principle, so she readily agreed.

Meanwhile, Makoto Aoki was contemplating his final preparations.

"There is currently one spearman and one assassin left."

Makoto Aoki was doing push-ups. He had been preparing ever since he learned that the Holy Grail War was about to begin.

He runs ten kilometers every morning and does various exercises. Anyway, with Taigong Wang's healing techniques and Gilgamesh's treasure trove, he doesn't have to worry about rhabdomyolysis. He can train as hard as he can without dying.

I don't expect to outrun the heroic spirits, but at least in dangerous situations, being faster and stronger gives me a better chance of survival.

He was also thinking while exercising.

He had already used up his two aliases, namely Sakata Kintoki of the Berserker class and Gilgamesh of the Magician class, but because this monster invasion caused such a big stir, Aoki Makoto has not only regained his fame, but also has some left over.

Although he was not happy at all, he had already learned from BB about the terrible casualties.

He is now considering the lineup for the upcoming Holy Grail War.

"Currently, we have four Masters including myself, and five Servants including BB. If we summon on the spot, I can barely take on one more Servant, but there is still one Servant who is missing a Master."

"I wonder which male or female lead will agree to participate."

After all, he had Taikomo asked several people like a human trafficker, and they were all people with excellent personalities or abilities who could calm down in time, but were not too opinionated. He definitely didn't want someone like Shinichi Kudo who caused trouble!

Some refused outright, like Toyo Yuta, while others, like Hachiman Hikigaya and Miyuki Shirogane, were still hesitating.

However, even if no one is willing to take the gamble, Makoto Aoki has a backup plan. At least he doesn't need to worry too much about supplying magic. If all else fails, he can rely on the treasures in Gilgamesh's treasury to last for a long time, since he truly possesses the Holy Grail.

The main thing to consider is Heroic Spirits.

"Among the Lancers who can be summoned, the more powerful ones are Enkidu, Karna, and Scáthach. Actually, the White Lancer Artoria is also good, but if she appears, I don't know if she is male or female?"

According to Pseudo-Fou, the gender of Heroic Spirits is determined according to the historical facts of this world, mainly because the history of this world cannot be shaken. After all, this is not Type-Moon, and if everything were done according to Type-Moon, this world would become a branch world of Type-Moon.

However, if it's a Holy Grail War that enters a singularity, it's unclear whether it's calculated according to this world.

Makoto Aoki and the fake Fou negotiated for a long time. Since the Holy Grail War itself had become a singularity, the fake Fou promised Makoto Aoki that she would do her best to ensure that when they entered, they would be at the beginning of the story, maximizing Makoto Aoki's advantage of knowing the plot.

However, the location is likely to be random, and they may not necessarily be together.

"The assassin is definitely the one who summoned, and the lancer... it depends on which Holy Grail War it is."

Makoto Aoki quickly made up his mind. Someone like him could choose Heroic Spirits. Even if he couldn't choose god-level ones, such as Romulus or Quirinus, he could still choose more targeted Heroic Spirits based on his opponent.

"Now, it all depends on Oda Nobunaga."

Makoto Aoki realized it was time for the appointment and quickly turned on the TV.

Currently, all channels across Japan are reposting the live broadcast.

On the sixth day, the Demon King Oda Nobunaga gave his first speech to the entire nation.

Wearing that crisp military uniform, Oda Nobunaga stood on the podium, a boundless curtain of blood trailing behind him. His demonic red eyes, stained with blood and flames, slowly opened, as if he were seeing everyone in front of the television.

Without keeping everyone in suspense, Oda Nobunaga announced the Holy Grail War to all of Japan. Of course, he concealed the true nature of the Holy Grail as an omnipotent wish-granting machine, but instead emphasized the truth that if the Holy Grail were taken by another world, this world would suffer a devastating blow.

"...As heroic spirits, regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, regardless of our stance or past, since we have chosen this world, we will fight for the humanity of this world."

At this moment, Oda Nobunaga was not a demon king, but a hero etched in history. He was not only ruthless, but also possessed the ambition and responsibility to conquer the world.

"But protecting our home is not just a matter for a few of us heroic spirits; it requires the participation of everyone."

"Let us all strive together."

Oda Nobunaga's speech caused a huge uproar.

"That's right. Since we're fighting for this world, no one can stand aside."

Makoto Aoki was thoroughly fed up with the covert probing by certain countries, and he believed that the dire situation in Japan had left them with lingering fears.

Moreover, these countries are not entirely useless; at the very least, they can provide a sufficient amount of weapons and surveillance.

This was a ruthless plan that Makoto Aoki had come up with after much deliberation. After all, he needed to leverage the advantages of the everyday world.

In the Holy Grail War, the first aspect is reconnaissance.

Makoto Aoki's hand didn't have any cards that were good at summoning familiars. Taiko-no-Wang had good sense, but he was a Rider, and the Master on this side didn't have a proper magician.

However, it doesn't always have to be magic. Technology can sometimes play a special role. For example, during World War IV, the magician assassin Kiritsugu Emiya used surveillance and bombs to destroy Ken's magic workshop.

Bullets and bombs are useless against Servants, but they can kill Masters. Surveillance shouldn't be able to detect Servants, but with the help of BB, a special Servant from the Cyberse world, it's not difficult to monitor them.

Without monitoring of magical fluctuations, orthodox magicians would not take it seriously.

We'll deploy a thousand drones, each carrying bombs.

As long as the explosive yield is sufficient, even if I can't kill a Heroic Spirit, I can still kill your Master, right? If you really piss me off, nuclear peace isn't out of the question. After all, Russia really wants to use up that Tsar that's been sitting on for so long—singularities don't affect the real world, what a perfect opportunity for a detonation.

Such a ruthless act could probably only be conceived by a quick-witted time traveler.
