Fate/stay night

Evening.

Homura was working on a work project plan, and although he had decided on the 'Fate' series as the theme, he still hadn't decided which specific work to use.

Moreover, he hadn't decided on the form of the work, whether it should be a game or an anime?

Anyway, he decided to write down some ideas first, and then ask everyone for their opinions later.

The Holy Grail is a legendary treasure that can grant the holder any wish, and the ritual to obtain the Holy Grail is known as the Holy Grail War.

The seven magus selected by the Holy Grail to participate in the Holy Grail War are known as Masters, who form a contract with seven Servants, each of whom is one of the seven legendary heroes selected by the Holy Grail and divided into seven classes.

They are Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster, Berserker, and Assassin.

Only one group can obtain the Holy Grail, and these seven groups will fight and kill each other to become the last one standing!

===

"Hmm... It looks like 'Fate/stay night' is still the best option after all. That's the foundation of 'Fate', right?"

After writing down the rough plan, Homura decided to use the Fifth Holy Grail War, which was the starting point of the 'Fate' series.

"As for the form... I'll discuss it with everyone."

With that in mind, he picked up the pile of papers he had written and went to the living room.

===

"Hey? Is everyone here?" Homura asked curiously.

It was already quite late, and he believed they should all be getting some rest. However, it seemed that was not the case.

"What can we do?" Elf crossed her arms and said, "Everyone must be curious about your project plan. Who would want to go to sleep?"

Megumi also nodded in agreement. "Yes, just like what Elf said, this is probably the next work we need to create, so of course, we are very interested."

He also nodded in understanding, but everyone's enthusiasm was still quite high. As the leader, he was very pleased.

"First of all, let me make it clear that I haven't finished it yet. I want to ask for your opinions and decide on the direction before continuing with the rest of the plan."

Then, under the eager gaze of the women, he presented the completed part of the project plan in front of them.

"Take a look first, everyone. Then share your thoughts and opinions. I'm still undecided whether to continue with a visual novel game again or just go straight to an anime."

After he finished speaking, they couldn't wait to gather around and take a look!

Watching this scene, Homura felt a bit nervous, "It's a bit weird having so many people gathered together like this. If I knew everyone was here, I would have used a projector."

Eriri didn't even turn around and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Just make do with it. Everyone is here because they are interested in your work."

Homura: "..."

He didn't say anything and just waited quietly, listening to the occasional discussion coming from the girls...

Elf said, "This setting is pretty good! It looks very eye-catching!"

Nanami said, "But... who is this heroic spirit?"

Mashiro replied, "Nanami, there is an extra explanation right beside it."

Utaha read the explanation, "Because of their great achievements, they are heroes and famous figures who left a deep mark in the river of time? Summoning such an existence to fight on the same stage... it's a rare theme and this makes me excited!"

Eriri said, "But you are not very good at describing battle scenes right, woman?"

Utaha responded, "...That's true. No wonder Homura-kun said this plan was used to impress Senju Muramasa."

Elf said, "What a fantastic stage! This style of fantasy is exactly what I'm good at!"

Sagiri said, "...Yet again, it's this kind of character design. I'm not good at this kind of style!"

Megumi said, "Sagiri-chan, don't worry. I'm sure there will be a very cute heroic spirit too?"

Eriri remarked, "However, the battle scenes will truly put the illustrator's skills to the test."

Mashiro said, "Sagiri, Eriri, let's do our best together."

===

Homura listened to their discussion and nodded in satisfaction. It seems that everyone approves of it. As expected of 'Fate'!

After the girls finished their first round of discussion, he clapped his hands, signaling everyone to look over.

"So, do you think this kind of theme is better as a visual novel or as an anime?" he asked.

The girls realized that this was his dilemma and thought silently as they remembered the content they had seen.

As they pondered, their brows furrowed because they couldn't make up their minds.

Both have their advantages. A game can offer more routes for the audience to understand the work more deeply, but an anime can only choose one route.

An anime can show spectacular battle scenes, but a visual novel cannot because it only has static images.

So...

""It's a headache..."" They all said in unison and glanced at each other before bursting into laughter. ""Haha...""

Megumi's gentle smile caught everyone's attention.

"Megumi is laughing again! That's really rare!" Everyone felt touched.

Homura quickly took out his camera and, before anyone could react, snapped a picture of her smiling face.

"Hehe... I got a treasure!" Homura looked at the photo she had taken and smiled contentedly.

Megumi: "..."

Seeing the puzzled look on the girls' faces, the 'suspect' Homura quickly disappeared from their sight, put the camera back in his inventory, destroyed the evidence, and nonchalantly returned to the scene, blending in with the crowd!

His trick left them all stunned, their mouths agape, unable to say a word.

*Cough!* *Cough!*

"Does anyone have anything to say?" Homura coughed and asked.

Girls: "..."

All of them looked helpless, and Megumi blushed slightly and suggested, "Homura-kun, since both have their advantages, why don't we do both at the same time?"

Their eyes lit up, and Eriri even exclaimed, "Megumi! What a great idea!"

"Wait a minute..." Homura interrupted, "It's indeed a good idea. After watching the anime, those who want a deeper understanding can play the game, and those who have played the game but feel unsatisfied can watch the anime."

"It's probably the perfect solution to the problem, but..." Homura scratched her head, "we don't have enough manpower for that."

Upon hearing this, their expressions changed, as if they were suppressing something...

But it was Megumi who had more patience. She said to him with a helpless expression, "Homura-kun, have you forgotten something?"

"..."

Forgotten something?

"!!!"

He did forget something indeed, because he had been too busy these past few days. When Megumi said that, the memory resurfaced in his mind.

"Hashima Izumi!"
