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

"Actually, I think they've already tried their best, and we shouldn't be too harsh on them."

"There's no other way; this concerns the lives of all of us!"

"My God, these are minors, and they're actually going to kill people? Won't this set a bad example for our children? This kind of live stream shouldn't be done!"

"What are you talking about? Aren't they risking their lives for us?!"

"Exactly. Without a live broadcast, we wouldn't even know how we died. I'd rather die knowing."

"Speaking of which, that guy in sunglasses looked like a bad guy, but he was actually quite nice. He said he was a necromancer? And his muscles made him look like a warrior."

"There are no good magicians!"

"The man in sunglasses is a good person!"

"I'm really curious how they came up with the idea of ​​getting a magician from another world to help them, and most importantly, they succeeded!"

Compared to the seemingly indifferent arguments circulating online, the Master's family members are truly heartbroken.

The Hachiman family stayed glued to the TV, not daring to leave for a moment. They even took turns sleeping. Since Hachiman Hikigaya was exposed in the show, the Japanese government had been providing protection and financial support. It was better for the Hachiman family not to go out, in case they were attacked by some extremists.

Like the Hikigaya family, the Nakano family is also a good match. Eriri and Kaguya Shinomiya's family members are of high status and have always been protected.

Incidentally, Makoto Aoki has no relatives, and even his own editors are under protection.

Nobody wants heroes to risk their lives while their families bleed behind them, especially when it concerns the survival of the world. Even the worst Japanese government should at least provide basic guarantees.

Even if the Hachiman family suddenly received a subsidy they could never spend in a lifetime, they couldn't smile. After all, their loved ones were risking their lives inside, so how could they be happy?

Hikigaya Komachi stared intently at her brother's face on the screen, clutching her clothes with worry and tears welling in her eyes.

"Brother, you big idiot!"

"He even lied to Komachi!"

If it weren't for the live stream, Komachi Hikigaya wouldn't even know that her older brother was doing something so dangerous. So what if he's a savior? So what if he's a hero? Even if he's still that useless, withdrawn older brother, he's still Komachi's brother!

Looking at Hachiman Hikigaya's determined expression on the screen, Komachi Hikigaya felt a pang of heartache, yet also immense pride.

My brother still grew through hardship. I feel sorry for his suffering, but I am proud of his growth.

After all, Komachi Hikigaya always thought that her older brother was the best!

"Actually, in terms of sheer strength on paper, you already qualify as a third party." Seeing so many minors present, Lion Robber Jie Li still didn't take out a cigarette, instead rubbing his large, bony fingers together to try and kill his craving.

“But that’s not enough,” Aoki Makoto said frankly. “If we were to start a direct battle now, we might win, but even if we did, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.”

"If possible, I would like to bring my companion back intact."

If before, Makoto Aoki only hoped to win the Holy Grail War, now that he has the advantage in every aspect, he hopes to clear the game without taking any damage.

Perhaps based on their current strength on paper, even if the Red and Black factions joined forces, they might not be able to defeat them, but the difference lies in the difference between the Masters.

Their Masters are too fragile. Once their Servants are entangled, the Black Masters can easily take them down.

Makoto Aoki did not want their side to suffer casualties. After the Holy Grail War, each of them could be considered a qualified Master, a very precious companion to him, and capable of playing a role in the future war of world destruction.

Of course, facing battle head-on is necessary, rather than hiding all the time, but only under the premise of ensuring safety. In fact, Gilgamesh, who was acting alone, was preparing for this.

By the way, you guys mentioned Sherlock Holmes?

This famous detective has already been thrown to the Black Assassin Jack the Ripper by Taigong Wang's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels). If he is fast enough, he might be able to get back before Sieg escapes.

After all, with Taigong Wang's Earth Escape technique and the Holy Grail's power of magic, everyone no longer needs to worry about traveling!

Holmes: Listen to me, I thank you.

“This is going to be very difficult.” Shishikai Kairi glanced at the minors around him. “The Holy Grail War is not a game. You are still a long way from surviving.”

"Perhaps in the end, you will regret coming to participate in this Holy Grail War."

They were just a group of teenagers, after all.

Makoto Aoki chose to remain silent, even if he didn't regret it, because he couldn't speak for others.

A very soft voice sounded.

“Uncle Shishi-kai is really a good person.” When Nakano Miku saw everyone looking over, she lowered her head shyly and put her five fingers together. “Right now, I can’t be sure if I will regret it later. Maybe I will be very sad when I die… But…”

The pink-haired girl smiled gently and tolerantly, her blue-purple eyes like stars: "I will never hold a grudge. It was because of this opportunity that I met Lord Saburo and everyone else. This is a very precious thing."

“Ah, I was just expressing my thoughts,” Nakano Miku said nervously, fidgeting with her fingers, her cheeks flushed. “I didn’t mean anything by it.”

“That kind of thing doesn’t matter,” Kaguya Shinomiya shifted her posture, a hint of gentleness appearing in her usually cold red eyes. “In short, we’ve prepared for the Holy Grail War for so long, paid so much, and even for the sake of those behind us, we have no way out.”

The other three nodded in agreement.

Shi Zi Jie Jie Li nodded in understanding: "I understand."

"But my main mission is to protect your lives. If things get really beyond saving, I will carry out my mission even if it means breaking your legs."

“At that time, please don’t try to control their willfulness.” Makoto Aoki wholeheartedly agreed with this.

“Then your most important task now is to hide yourselves and wait for the red and black sides to be exhausted... As for intelligence, leave it to me and King Arthur,” Shishikatsu Kairi looked at Eriri and King Arthur. “Is that alright? Even if the red side acts alone, that priest will not ignore us.”

Seeing Eriri nod, King Arthur also said, "I have no objection."

Kaguya Shinomiya raised her hand: "However, since we have so many combatants on our side, we can't just stand by and watch. If we encounter a lone Servant, we can kill them quickly with lightning speed."

"Didn't Aoki-kun just say that since Ruler has already left the stage, no one can know the reason for the Servant's departure? As long as there's an information gap, they'll only suspect each other." After all, even the Yggdrasilia family isn't exactly united.

“Actually, I forgot to mention something.” Makoto Aoki raised his hand, “The Greater Grail has summoned another Ruler…”

Seeing the sudden change in everyone's expression, Makoto Aoki continued, "Could it be that I've already reached an agreement with that Ruler, or rather, a commission? In any case, he won't expose us on his own initiative and will maintain a certain level of silence."

"However, if the red and black teams find out and question him, he won't hide it from us."

Makoto Aoki would certainly not say that the Ruler was entirely on their side, since it was impossible to explain why he could manipulate the Ruler summoned by the Greater Grail.

“But this is also a potential problem,” Kaguya Shinomiya said seriously. “I am willing to trust your judgment, Makoto, but please tell us your reasons.”

Makoto Aoki's words were nine parts truth mixed with one part falsehood, and even Karna's "the wisdom of the poor" could not see through his lies.

"Because the Ruler summoned this time is not an absolutely impartial saint, but a famous detective who sees through the truth. He saw through the reasons behind us, and in addition, I made a request to him first, so he was willing to keep it a secret for the time being."

“You should understand that even if we deal with him again, we can’t guarantee that the Greater Grail won’t summon the Ruler again. Reaching a consensus is already the best outcome. And since he is a hero, at least for him, he won’t break his promise.”

Good guy.

Even the already withdrawn Lion Clan member, Jie Li, almost couldn't help but curse. You even verbally defeated the referee. There are just too many shady dealings in this Holy Grail War.

However, it still gives one a sense of confidence when the truth is on one's side.

"A famous detective?" Kaguya Shinomiya was puzzled. What famous detective could appear as a Heroic Spirit? She tried to think, but she couldn't recall any detectives who were famous enough to appear as Heroic Spirits.

"You should have heard of his real name as well."

Makoto Aoki, with a look of anticipation, revealed the answer.

"The world's finest and only consultant detective, the epitome of the detective concept, the representative of the informant, the protagonist of Conan Doyle's novels, and one of the forefathers of many future detectives..."

"Sherlock Holmes."
