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

"Huh? Why aren't you answering? Did I bump into you and hurt you?" This person approached energetically, seemingly wanting to grab Hachiman Hikigaya's clothes. "Are you really hurt? Let me see where you're injured!"

A barrage of questions left Hachiman Hikigaya unsure which to answer, and his unpredictable, jumping thoughts made it impossible for him to react.

When those fair, delicate hands were about to touch him, Hachiman Hikigaya blushed and scrambled away.

"Why are you hiding?" the person asked with genuine confusion, tilting his head slightly.

Oops.

Hachiman Hikigaya almost covered his face, because this cuteness was so overwhelming that anyone with eyes could fall in love with it.

The person in front of me had beautiful long pink hair, tied in a ponytail that hung down her back. The strands of hair playfully curled up, and a strand of white was highlighted in her bangs. She had fair skin, slender limbs, and a petite figure.

She wore a purple coat and a striped short-sleeved shirt, revealing a slender waist, and a black short skirt that showed off her long, fair legs.

Most importantly, there was that overly cute and delicate face, with a pair of large, bright violet eyes that reflected the image of Hachiman Hikigaya.

"I'm not hurt." To prove it, Hachiman Hikigaya got up from the ground with his most agile movements.

"Being energetic is great!" the visitor said, spouting nonsensical nonsense.

"You look different from everyone else around you. Are you a foreigner? What country are you from? Are you here for tourism? It's amazing that you can visit so many places!"

The cute "girl" struck up a conversation with him quite naturally, leaving the introverted Hachiman Hikigaya unable to keep up.

"We're just here for tourism."

Hachiman Hikigaya attempts to cut through the mess quickly.

However, he underestimated the "girl's" energy and outgoing nature.

"Travel, travel with me!"

She suddenly took Hachiman Hikigaya's hand and looked him in the eye with her bright eyes.

……

Walking next to the pink-haired girl, Hachiman Hikigaya's dead fish eyes looked even more lifeless.

It's over.

Hachiman Hikigaya inwardly berated himself. How could he have accepted her invitation when they were complete strangers? He was there to participate in the Holy Grail War, and even if he was just there to make up the numbers, his life would still be in danger.

On the other hand, he couldn't help but comfort himself, thinking that there was nothing he could do about it. Being stared at by those sparkling eyes, even a god would get carried away and agree. After all, Hachiman Hikigaya was a man.

However, the girl was completely oblivious to Hachiman Hikigaya's distress and continued to chatter in his ear in a cute and charming voice.

"Hey, hey, Hachiman," she had somehow become quite adept at calling Hachiman Hikigaya's name. "Look, look, that looks delicious!" she tugged at Hachiman's sleeve.

Hachiman Hikigaya was already captivated by this intimate name that no one had ever called him before.

Even his younger sister, Komachi, was called by her name directly. In his miserable school life, both boys and girls addressed him as "Hikigaya-kun" in a distant way, and very few even called him "Hikigaya-kun".

How tragic.

But Hachiman Hikigaya has no friends.

Speaking of which, the girl was the first person to call Hikigaya by his name.

No way! Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head violently, as if trying to shake all unrealistic thoughts out of his head. Wasn't the tragedy in junior high school enough of a wake-up call? Don't take a girl's intimacy as her liking you!

In reality, due to certain past events, Hachiman Hikigaya is very guarded around women, including Yui Hama, and he simply cannot believe that she truly likes him.

Strangely enough, Hikigaya found it difficult to be wary of this girl.

"Hachiman~" The girl put her hands behind her back and looked at Hikigaya with expectant eyes, "Please, please, please~"

I want to try it!

So the two sat at a table outside the restaurant, the girl supporting herself on the stool with both hands, swinging her slender white legs.

“Um,” Hachiman Hikigaya’s gaze drifted, “we’ve been talking for so long, and I still don’t know how to address you.” That’s right, even though his name was already known and they had inexplicably spent some time together, Hachiman Hikigaya still didn’t know the other person’s name.

"Huh?" She tapped her cheek with her fingertip. "Didn't I say that?"

"No." Hachiman replied with a deadpan expression.

"Oh, I didn't say that!" she suddenly realized. "Then let me introduce myself now."

"My name is Astolfo! As for the rest, I'm sorry, I can't say right now!"

"Astolfo?" Hachiman Hikigaya, who wasn't very knowledgeable about foreign languages, hadn't realized it was a male name. "Then I should call you, A... Fuku?" He simplified it in his own way.

"A-Fu? That sounds pretty good. Okay, okay, Hachiman, you can just call me A-Fu!" Astolfo readily accepted.

Soon after, the food was served. Astolfo scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes happily.

"good to eat!"

"Ah Fu, you're not a local either, are you? Why are you here?" Although he thought it was impossible for Hachiman to be favored by a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but strike up a conversation.

"Hmm—who knows, ah, I really can't understand why I came here!" Astolfo looked troubled.

"Then what about Hachiman? Why did you come here, Hachiman?" He regained his energy in less than three seconds.

“It’s just a trip,” Hachiman Hikigaya said, looking away. “Nothing special.”

"Really?" Astolfo leaned closer.

"Really." Hachiman Hikigaya felt a pang of pain in his heart, realizing he had lied to himself.

"Hmm... well, let's leave it at that." Astolfo smiled brightly at him. "Anyway, thank you, Hachiman, for treating me to something delicious."

"Hachiman, you're a good person."

Hachiman Hikigaya, who was given a "friend zone" card, wasn't happy at all.

"What kind of good person is she? I should be asking why she came to me." Hachiman Hikigaya still couldn't believe he could encounter such a beautiful girl. Could it be some kind of honey trap?

Astolfo said matter-of-factly, "Because you look troubled, Hachiman! Anyway, it's my duty to help those who are troubled~"

Hachiman Hikigaya was stunned.

Seen through?

Facing Astolfo's clear and vibrant eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly felt ashamed and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, someone broke the deadlock at this moment, preventing Hachiman Hikigaya from burrowing underground.

"I've finally found you, Hikigaya-kun."

Turning around, I saw a beautiful girl with black hair and red eyes standing there.

Without a doubt, it was Kaguya Shinomiya who had been searching for Hachiman Hikigaya.
