I'm doing a crossover anime/manga project, and I'm creating a new kind of "Moonlight&

It left onlookers feeling somewhat incredulous.

"No, is she trying to help Goto Ichiri overcome her social anxiety? Or help her take control of her body?"

"Hiss, they really aren't afraid that someone will take their body and not give it back."

"This kind of kind-hearted person is really... really heartbreaking."

at last.

Under the soothing influence of another self and the allure of delicious flavors, Pochi Sauce slowly took control of her body. Suddenly, a rich aroma filled the air, and her taste buds began to salivate wildly.

"Eh?"

She tried picking up a spoon, scooping out a mouthful, and a more wonderful taste bloomed on her taste buds, making her feel as if she had ascended to heaven.

If she were an evil spirit, this dish would definitely help her find peace.

Amazing.

My other self is really amazing.

She's definitely not suited to be someone else's counterpart; she'd be a disgrace to the solitary class.

As Pochi was lost in thought again, she noticed a tall figure pushing open the door and walking in from the entrance.

The rotten suit, the damp, cold dust, and there was a faint sense of gloom.

"Kekeke..."

Boqi-chan trembled all over, staring in horror at a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Then....

"Mother--?"

She heard Yukinoshita Doku's voice, which was losing its composure for the first time, echo in her mind.

early morning.

A thin mist filled the air, making it difficult to see people from a distance, and the temperature was also a bit low.

Christmas is just around the corner!

Ichiri Yukinoshita exhaled a warm breath, tightened his scarf, and walked into the gates of Homurahara Academy amidst the familiar rustling sound of his shoes rubbing against the gravel road.

She seemed to be quite popular, as many girls and boys greeted her along the way.

However, it seems that for some reason, they all kept their distance.

This familiar, everyday scene made her wonder if what happened yesterday was real.

Not only does it possess another soul of its own, but even...

"Mother...."

Thinking of that familiar face, she shook her head.

No.

That's just another person who looks like her mother, Du.

It really feels like a dream.

If it weren't for this, and if there were another consciousness in her head making tense noises from time to time, she would probably really think it was a hallucination.

"Hey, good morning, Du."

A cheerful voice interrupted her thoughts.

Looking up, what catches the eye is Homura's men's uniform, but because of his tall stature, it appears straight and noble.

With his handsome face and family background, he was quite famous in Homurahara and was a popular figure at school, along with another student, Tohsaka Shoko.

"It's a white gift~"

The girl said helplessly, "Shouldn't you be in the archery club at this time, Shirai?"

Bai Li, quite familiar with her, put his arm around her neck and said with a grin, "We just finished training, and I was waiting for you to tidy up."

"Okay, I'll go after I change into my indoor shoes."

The boy's gaze narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of deeper meaning: "You still don't know how to refuse at all. Being alone can be very painful."

"Because we're childhood sweethearts~"

The girl didn't seem to understand the meaning behind it.

Only after the two parted ways, and she took out her shoes from her shoe cabinet and skillfully changed into her indoor shoes, did the image of Pochi-chan in her mind finally emerge:

"It's bullying, isn't it? It's definitely bullying!"

"No, Bai Li just wants me to cherish myself more."

The girl shook her head, a slight smile on her face.

The audience was stunned for a moment.

"Huh, she actually figured it out?"

"Wow, so your emotional intelligence is actually quite high? Pochi (Lonely), look at yourself and then look at others! In reality, the betting odds have been opened, and your odds are already 1 to 7.2."

"I bet five million yen on you, so you better live up to my expectations!"

A group of gambling addicts were frustrated by his lack of ambition.

Many people guessed that Boqi was the first to clear the game, so they placed big bets.

result.....

It's absolutely astonishing.

You're not going to have someone suddenly appear and tell you the answer, and then you can complete the game, are you?

"Come to think of it, why does that person look so familiar?"

"Really? Isn't he just a handsome guy who's eight-tenths as good-looking as me?"

"Have some shame, upstairs. He's a real rich, handsome, and noble young man."

"Wait, did you hear the surname just now? When he left, I think I heard someone call him Matou..."

Someone noticed the key point.

"Hiss~~, could it be someone from the Matou Mansion, one of the four forbidden areas?"

"So what? This is still the Suigunhara Academy, one of the four forbidden areas."

"How stupid! This means it might be related to the Holy Grail War, or even one of the Masters."

"No way, I'm in motion mode, I didn't feel any magical fluctuations."

"Huh? You might be wrong. He's just an ordinary rich and handsome guy."

no way.

Masters must have magic circuits, right?

While you don't need to provide magic power to Servants, that's the Holy Grail's job.

However, as an anchor for Servants in the present world, it also consumes mana.

(The magic system established by the protagonist uses magic circuits, which are essentially meridians, or bioelectronic channels that are now being verified.)

"(ˉ▽￣~) Cut~~"

"Speaking of which, why did the screen keep going black last night in the perspectives of Yukinoshita, Goto, and that heterochromatic-eyed girl?"

"Nonsense, of course it's to protect privacy. Even optical transceivers know to have privacy features, while some phone manufacturers... hehe~."

"Then why didn't those male players who cleared the game...?"

"Who said there isn't? You just haven't gone to check, have you?"

"You read?"

"I didn't want to either, but that guy walked naked into Times Square, and the rest of the picture was censored... It was too tragic. That guy's name is Kazuma."

"A moment of silence~"

........

In the woods on the other side of the school.

A group of people were also analyzing it.

"Why is this person's face so dark all night? Did they sleep naked?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely a clone, and it's also at Homurahara Nen High School."

"A first-year high school student named Matou Kurumi? Is she a disciple of that Matou Hakurei?"

"So it possessed my body too? Then who's controlling the body now, Matou or Kurumi?"

Sitting on the soft grass, bathed in the warm sunlight filtering through the leaves.

A girl with long, straight, jet-black hair took out her bento box and ate it in small bites.

Compared to Kurumi, she has a gentler and more delicate temperament. With her long hair flowing down, her eyes are as clear and bright as rubies.

"So... is this what I'll be like when I grow up?"

In the girl's shadow.

Kurumi quietly gazed at the exquisite girl who was just like her.

Having another version of herself is a normal part of her life.

Now she can create dozens or even hundreds of clones from different periods.

but.....

"It's even more distorted now!"

she sighed.

No matter how well she concealed it, she could see the distortion and numbness in the heart of this seemingly empty shell of a girl.

Because of what?

If I remember correctly, didn't that man become your older brother?

Even if you are abandoned, haven't you already found a small place to stay, a place that can accommodate you?

Following the girl's gaze, Kurumi saw the school gate not far away, and a girl gracefully entering the school under the cherry blossom tree.

That's... Tohsaka Shoko?

Her sister?

Kurumi Tokisaki pondered for a moment, feeling that she wasn't just in this world, but also seemed to have seen it in the game.

However, compared to the one who seemed somewhat disheveled and comedic, the one in front of us was almost the perfect embodiment of a young lady.

She was dignified, gentle, and impeccably poised. She glanced over here and seemed to sense concern.

It wouldn't be bad if she really had such an older sister.

but.....

Kurumi Matou turned her head away, tidied up the lunchbox and leftovers, picked up the lunchbox, and left.

Looking at her retreating figure, the eyes of the girl named Tohsaka Shoko seemed to dim slightly.

Kurumi probably knows what's going on.

The witnesses were completely baffled.

There was just too much information, making it completely incomprehensible.

But some people recognized it at a glance.
