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

"Shinomiya-kun!" Hachiman Hikigaya was genuinely overjoyed at this moment, after all, he had finally found his tribe.

At the same time, even a novice like him doesn't need to worry about safety—before the fight begins.

You know, in a completely unfamiliar place, and with your own documents forged, Hachiman Hikigaya was genuinely panicked. Getting ambushed by foreigners is no joke; do you really think those street thugs are any respectable?

"Looks like you're doing well, Hachiman Hikigaya." Kaguya Shinomiya crossed her arms and looked down at Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't tell if it was just his imagination, but he always felt like Kaguya Shinomiya was looking at him like he was a bug.

Ah... Hachiman Hikigaya thought about his current state and awkwardly dug his toes into the ground. If he were to painstakingly search for someone and find them leisurely with a beautiful girl by their side, he would also be quite annoyed!

May all the popular people explode!

"Are you Hachiman's friend?" Astolfo, completely oblivious to the atmosphere, happily leaned closer. "Hello, classmate! Then we're friends too! Let's play together!"

Kaguya Shinomiya instinctively took a step back, feeling a strong sense of déjà vu... Fujiwara Chika?!

Kaguya Shinomiya became extremely vigilant.

However, under Astolfo's enthusiastic influence, they had a blast for a while, until the sun began to set.

"Oh no, it's so late already." Astolfo looked distressed. "I really don't want to go back and deal with her. Honestly, what does she take me for?"

"Is it because your family treats you badly?" Hachiman Hikigaya knew he had no right to ask, but he couldn't help himself.

"Not really," Astolfo said, not everyone agreed with him. "Anyway, I have to go back."

"Bye-bye~ See you next time, Hachiman." Astolfo leaned in close, almost a fist's distance from Hachiman Hikigaya.

"I had a great day! Goodbye~ Let's hang out again next time."

"goodbye……"

Hachiman Hikigaya's brain is malfunctioning.

Like any other high school girl, Astolfo skipped and hopped halfway there, then turned back to wave at Hachiman, her smile brighter than the sun in the sky.

Hachiman Hikigaya waved his hand foolishly.

So adorable, Astolfo, I've never met such a lovely girl in my life.

There's a saying that goes, "Beauty is nothing compared to cuteness."

So it's no wonder Hikigaya couldn't handle it. Ask our handsome readers, can you resist Astolfo's closeness?

Kaguya Shinomiya's lips twitched. She used to seem like a smart person, but now she's acting like a complete idiot.

“Actually, I found you a long time ago, Hikigaya-kun.” Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly spoke, a hint of seriousness in her crimson eyes.

Was he late because he didn't want to be a third wheel? Anyone would have that thought after encountering such a stunningly beautiful girl.

Hachiman Hikigaya immediately had this idea, but of course, he rejected it in the next second. Who did he think he was?

Hachiman Hikigaya has always been very self-aware. After all, he was quite presumptuous when he was young, which led to him being ridiculed in the end.

"Is it because of Miss Astolfo?" Hachiman Hikigaya's mind was still quite sharp. "Could she be related to a Heroic Spirit?" Only this could make Kaguya Shinomiya hesitate.

"Yes, she is a Servant." As it turns out, even Kaguya couldn't see through the gender of a top-tier cross-dresser like Astolfo.

However, it must be said that Kaguya Shinomiya's feelings towards Astolfo were complicated, because his similar pink hair and erratic personality really reminded her of Chika Fujiwara, the cancer of the earth.

It's unbelievable that someone like Fujiwara Chika could have two cancer cells? And they're even Servants, so wouldn't their lethality be even greater?

"However, there's one thing I'm very concerned about..."

Kaguya Shinomiya frowned. As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, she had also studied a lot of historical legends and was very familiar with the name Astolfo.

"What's wrong?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked.

“I remember,” Kaguya Shinomiya recalled carefully, “the name Astolfo is one of the twelve paladins under Charlemagne in the legend of Charlemagne.”

"According to the records, she should be a man." Considering Astolfo's behavior, even Kaguya Shinomiya became uncertain.

"what?"

Snapped.

There seemed to be the sound of a young man's heart breaking.

……

“You don’t have to be like this,” Kaguya Shinomiya said, somewhat speechless at Hachiman Hikigaya’s apparent dismay. “Actually, I might have misremembered.” Although Kaguya Shinomiya was very confident in her memory, Astolfo’s feminine charm was too strong, and it was hard to imagine that one of Charlemagne’s Twelve Paladins had this kind of personality.

It would have been more plausible if she had originally been a woman disguised as a man.

“No, Shinomiya-kun, you don’t understand.” Hachiman Hikigaya’s gaze was distant, as if he had unspeakable past events. “After you told me, I felt that it was probably, most likely, true.”

"After all, no girl would want to get close to me."

If it were a boy, Hachiman Hikigaya would suddenly understand.

No wonder his wariness of pretty girls was useless against Astolfo, since he was a boy himself, he could get along with her more naturally.

So it's really unfortunate, Hachiman Hikigaya. Why isn't Astolfo a girl? At least he could have a dream and become a contracted Servant.

Of course, Hachiman Hikigaya wouldn't jump to conclusions before seeing Astolfo's body. Then again, isn't it precisely because of this gender ambiguity that these characters are so captivating?

"That sounds heartbreaking." As the apex predator of the food chain, Kaguya Shinomiya, even though she has no friends other than Chika Fujiwara, finds it hard to understand Hachiman Hikigaya's thoughts.

"However, it's a good thing to learn the true name of a Servant. You've done a good job, Hachiman."

Hachiman Hikigaya awkwardly scratched his face, remembering Astolfo's words from before.

"I feel like he doesn't have a close relationship with his Master. Is there something wrong between them?"

Hachiman Hikigaya was a little worried.

Kaguya Shinomiya raised an eyebrow, concerned about this question: Did someone harbor thoughts of becoming a traitor like Cao Cao?

Worth pondering.
