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

"you you you you……"

The blonde girl with twin ponytails pointed at the blond youth and stammered.

There's absolutely no mistake. Even without seeing his face, you'd never mistake his voice. This is the knight who saved her from the demon boar!

"Who are you?! Why are you pointing at Arthur like that?!"

The men and women surrounding the young man were shouting in dissatisfaction.

"Are you here to see Arthur too? Know your place, kid, don't get involved!" A mature woman deliberately puffed out her large breasts, causing a sudden surge of waves.

"Who are you calling an elementary school student?!" This was Eriri's sore spot, and she immediately exploded. Pointing to her name tag, she said, "I'm a high school student in the prime of my life, unlike an old man like you!"

The woman, referred to as an "old man," contorted her beautifully groomed face.

"You little rascal—"

"cough."

The young man coughed slightly as he laughed, his smile still as warm as the morning sun, yet it gave off an inexplicable pressure, and the surroundings fell silent: "I do know this Ms. Sawamura. Could you all please move aside a bit? We can talk alone."

How could they willingly give way?

Even though all the women present thought the same thing, they obediently shut their mouths and made way for the young man named Arthur.

It was as if making way for a noble king.

Eriri watched as he walked up to her, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Let's talk outside."

After saying that, he first went to tell the store manager and then walked out.

The blonde girl stomped her foot and quickly chased after him, saying, "Okay!"

The young man named Arthur deliberately slowed down so that Eriri could easily keep up, and in terms of details, he was simply impeccable.

The two unknowingly walked to a secluded place, where the blond youth stopped and turned around.

"What can I do for you?"

The blond youth asked this question.

"I..." Eriri, who had been so confident just moments before, suddenly found herself at a loss for words. What did she want to ask?

Unlike the casual everyday life of just now, today's youth, or rather, they have always been so unique, but that distinctiveness becomes more apparent when they are alone with each other.

Even when standing in a dark corner, a few rays of light surrounded him like a blessing.

He was like a prince straight out of a two-dimensional painting. No, how could those paintings possibly depict the nobility and charm of a real prince? But now, the real prince was right before my eyes.

It must be said that Eri Kashiwagi, a master of doujinshi, felt a strong sense of inspiration.

"...Why do you know my name?"

Huh? Eriri in my mind is wailing, what is she saying?!

His Highness opened his azure eyes in surprise; under certain lighting, these eyes would also appear a beautiful turquoise.

"Ha, cough." As before, he suppressed his laughter, his eyes seemingly shining, and pointed at Eriri's chest, "Because it's written here."

"..."

Eriri suddenly remembered that she had just pointed at the name tag and berated that old man?

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

The proud blonde girl let out a scream, instantly crouching on the ground and covering her head: "Damn it, you're making fun of me, aren't you! You bastard, that's too much!"

"...Indeed, this was extremely offensive to a lady." His honest and sincere voice spoke volumes about his apology. "Can you accept my apology?"

"...Tch, you're making me sound like I'm being unreasonable." Eriri turned her head away, puffing out her cheeks.

"I'm very sorry, it was my rudeness."

In every respect, the young man appeared very polite.

"Please forgive me."

"No, that's not it." Eriri shrank back, leaving only her blond hair on Arthur's head. "You're so strange. I'm the one who didn't thank you. You saved my life, but..." She couldn't even speak at that moment.

"Ah."

It wasn't mockery, but a gentle, indulgent chuckle.

"No need to thank you."

Eriri looked up, and the young man in front of her had golden hair with glittering tips: "Anyone who meets a cute girl like you would lend a helping hand."

"This is the code of chivalry."

My face is burning.

The saying goes, "Arrogance meets straightforwardness," and they are natural enemies.

"W-what are you saying?!" Eriri almost blushed completely. "Who told you to say such frivolous things?!"

"Was that a bit frivolous?" Arthur asked, somewhat surprised. "It seems the times have changed... I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

"But I mean it."

Her face grew increasingly red, and Eriri turned her head away, her twin tails tracing an arc in the air: "I-I understand!"

Eriri has completely lost the imposing manner she had when she was questioning people.

"Even if you don't think you need to, you should still say so."

Eriri bowed deeply, her golden ponytail falling down her cheek: "Thank you for saving me."

"It's alright. I would have saved anyone in that situation, so please don't worry about it."

"Anyway, you saved me that time, so I still want to thank you!"

Rarely speaking frankly, Eriri awkwardly twisted her hair, her cute little tiger teeth peeking out: "Um, I already know my name, but I still need to introduce myself."

“I am Eriri Sawamura Spencer, a third-year student at Toyonosaki Academy. And you?”

"Hello, Eriri, I am Arthur... Saber, you can just call me Arthur."

"Why can you call my name so casually?!" Eriri bristled.

"So...Miss Spencer?"

"No, that's too strange. Just call me by my name." Eriri chose to give up.

"By the way, can I ask you a question?" Eriri continued after seeing Arthur nod. "What exactly was that giant pig? Why did it appear? And who are you? Why were you there? How did you deal with that giant pig? And where did you go afterward? Do superpowers really exist in this world?"

Meeting Arthur's tolerant gaze, Eriri belatedly realized that she had asked far more than one question; she had practically rattled off a whole string of questions.

That's so shameful.

Why am I like this? You know, Eriri always acts like a refined young lady, elegant and gentle, in front of people she doesn't know well.

Now you've exposed your true nature in front of strangers, how awful!

"The giant pig is a magical beast from the Age of Gods, the Demon Boar. You can think of it as a monster too. It appeared there because the gap on the inside just happened to be there."

Arthur patiently answered each question.

"I went there specifically to deal with that demonic boar. You can think of dealing with it as using a weapon. After that, I left and worked here. In the end, there really are superpowers in the world." For example, Koizumi Akako's red magic.

"As for some of the issues in between, I'm sorry, I can't tell you. Getting involved is not a good thing."

Very reassuring.

Eriri finally understood why she had subconsciously revealed her true nature in front of Arthur.

This person gives people a sense of security, perhaps because she saved her, or perhaps because of his demeanor. In any case, he gives people a feeling of brilliance, integrity, and noble character, making it hard not to trust him.

If he says he can't tell you, it's hard for you to be inclined to pursue the matter further.

"Then...why are you working here? Aren't you supposed to be so amazing?"

"Because I don't have the education and status that you usually need, I'm actually very grateful to the shop owner for taking me in, otherwise I would have been homeless and starving."

"Oh, I see. That would be inconvenient, since he doesn't know who you are. I... why don't you come to my house?"

"what?"

"You saved my life, didn't you? Words of thanks are too inadequate. In short, let me repay this kindness! I can have my father get you a legal status, and you can be my model, that's all..."

Eriri then remembered that she was a doujinshi artist, and she found herself unable to say what she was about to say.

Arthur smiled; he understood the girl's thoughts, her kind heart shining like crystal.

"Thank you, but no need."

"Why won't you agree? Is there some difficulty? I can handle everything!"

Eriri persevered.

"If you want to repay my kindness, just treat me to a meal, that will be enough."

Eriri knew perfectly well that she couldn't refute his words.

No matter how much she pesters him, he won't agree.

Therefore, we had no choice but to accept it.

"That's too easy."

Eriri was somewhat discouraged.

"This is no simple matter. Don't underestimate my appetite."

"You're underestimating my wallet!"

After all, she is a genuine heiress from a wealthy family and a well-known doujinshi artist!
