Utaha’s Morning Gift and Another Draw!

20+ Advance chapters on P^^^on

For Yuto, the real prize was a Craft Essence. If he could win over Mei and her mother with his cooking, that'd be perfect.

After dinner, Yuto headed home. It was late, and with school the next day, he washed up quickly and fell into a deep sleep.

...….

The next morning, Yuto's eyes had barely opened when his phone buzzed on the nightstand, grabbing his attention.

{Sender: Utaha Kasumigaoka}

{Dear boyfriend, I took three days off to meet a deadline, so I won't be at school for a bit.}

{Attachment: The stockings you wanted to see}

{Hehe, (^ω^), consider this a gift since your girlfriend won't be around.}

"Whoa, starting the day with 'this'?"

Still groggy, Yuto snapped awake and eagerly opened the photo.

Utaha, now a mature woman, knew how to captivate. Like a blooming rose, she radiated unrestrained allure. In the picture, the long-haired girl wore a skimpy outfit, her black hair tied into seductive twin tails. Her fair, delicate face boasted a pert nose and soft, pink lips. Her curvy figure was clad in a bunny girl costume, her long, shapely legs wrapped in sheer black stockings, looking especially tempting from the overhead angle.

'Wow, a bunny girl outfit? Utaha-senpai, you're serious!'

Yuto swiftly saved the photo to his private album.

[Yuto]

"When did you buy this?"

{Utaha Kasumigaoka}

{Like it? Next time you come over, I'll wear it for you in person. I also got two nurse outfits… Oh, and this style is very tear-resistant.}

{Yuto}

"Next time, wear both for me!"

...….

Fired up first thing in the morning, Yuto lost all desire to sleep. After a cold shower, he headed to school early.

"Good morning."

Mei, seated behind him, set down her small backpack and nibbled on a sandwich. 'Ugh, ever since I tasted his cooking last night, everything else tastes bland.'

"Morning," Yuto replied, pulling out his homemade burger. The perfectly grilled patty, fresh tomato slices, basil leaves, and sweet mayo made for a simple yet delicious breakfast.

'Is he doing this on purpose?' Mei thought, chewing her convenience store sandwich while eyeing his burger enviously.

"Good morning, Yuto-kun!"

A cheerful voice rang out as Marin approached, her long, fair legs on display.

"Oh? Yuto-kun, did you make that burger? It looks amazing."

She wrinkled her nose, the rich aroma making her swallow hard. 'That smells incredible!'

"I made plenty. You can have one."

Seeing her like a greedy golden retriever unable to resist food, Yuto chuckled and handed her a burger.

"Hehe, thanks!"

The blonde girl's eyes lit up, her face breaking into a wide grin as she took a big bite.

"Yuto-kun, I want one too."

A soft voice came from behind.

"Wah?! Megumi, when did you get here? You scared me!"

Kato Megumi, with her knack for blending in, appeared silently, startling Marin.

"Let's eat together."

Yuto, ever fair, handed burgers to Megumi and even to the silently envious Mei.

"Wow, three beautiful girls around him. No wonder it's Yuto—his charm is unreal!"

"I heard his girlfriend's Kasumigaoka-senpai from third year. Isn't he worried she'll get jealous?"

"Heh, you don't get it. Senpai's totally under his thumb. I heard… yesterday, they even had lunch with that ice queen, Yukino Yukinoshita."

"Damn, that's insane! Who is this guy? Even his main girlfriend gets along so well."

The surrounding chatter didn't faze the four. High schoolers loved gossip, and Yuto was practically being crowned a romance legend. The three girls blushed but didn't shy away, finishing their breakfast beside him.

Ding ding ding…

The bell rang, and class began. With Kirisu Mafuyu still out sick, the gentle Yukino Yukari subbed in again. Her classical literature lesson had Yuto dozing off. As the school's top student, he'd already mastered the material. Using his textbook as a shield, he opened the gacha system.

With 35 Saint Quartz, he could do a 10-pull. The familiar, liver-aching music played as a dazzling magic circle expanded in the silvery void, filling him with anticipation.

[Item List]

Craft Essence: Green Black Keys ×3

Craft Essence: Grimoire ×1

Craft Essence: Projection Magic ×3

Craft Essence: Reed Sea ×1

Spiritron Fragment: Heroic Spirit Emiya (Alter) ×1

{T/S : A Spiritron Fragment is an item representing a condensed piece of a Heroic Spirit's spiritual essence.}

...…..

'Another Reed Sea, Black Keys of Green finally maxed, and Projection Magic is one away from max breakthrough,' Yuto mused, slightly disappointed. This pull lacked the luck of his last one, yielding only a four-star Emiya (Alter) and a three-star Ci Chulainn. Unlike 5 star Arthur, Yuto could only choose one skill from Emiya and Ci Chulainn.

Reed Sea, a one-time defense Craft Essence, was barely practical—he'd given his last one to Kasumigaoka Utaha for protection. Yuto's pull wasn't the luckiest that morning, but fate had a silver lining. Amid his collection, the Black Keys of Green craft essence, long a steady booster of his demon-slaying power, had finally reached its maximum upgrade. In FGO, fully maxing out certain craft essences unlocks a hidden bonus effect, and for the Black Keys of Green, that bonus is the [Baptismal Chant E].

[Baptismal Chant E]: (Kyrie eleison, may mercy watch over this soul)

Ability Description: A church incantation for breaking demons, highly effective against evil spirits.
