I don't want to be a heroic spirit

I Don't Want to Be a Heroic Spirit Author: Death's Elegy

Good news: You can travel to the world of anime

Even better news (?): You can become the servant you own in FGO mobile game

Da Vinci: "In order to allow you to live better in the other world, everyone in Chaldea has decided to lend you their power through this [fate]."

Mashu: "Senior's happiness is all we wish for."

I will definitely be happy.

With the blessings of everyone in Chaldea, let's move forward towards the other side of the stars!

This is the journey I share with you all.

Chapter 1 You can see Mashu and Da Vinci after you die

"So... I'm dead?"

I habitually want to reach out and scratch my nose... Well, even such a simple action in the past is now a luxury.

Because now I am just a small white ball of light.

I never expected that the words “Who the hell are you?” that I always shouted at others before would now come true for me.

"Hmm... your reaction is so calm? Honestly, I thought you'd be even more surprised, even more unable to accept it. This is a guess made by a genius like me, and it turned out to be wrong? You're right, compared to the burning of human nature, this is just a small matter."

No, no, no, even if I was burned to death, I would not die.

Talking on a small, high-tech screen is an exquisite girl who can be described as a work of art.

To be honest, the sudden appearance of the girl on the screen shocked him more than the fact that he was dead.

After all, this face looks almost exactly like the Mona Lisa in the Louvre, except that it is a little smaller.

And the real Mona Lisa wouldn't take it for granted that she is a "genius", right?

If you are an old FGO player, you will probably be able to guess the real name of the girl in front of you who looks like Mona Lisa.

"But, Leonardo..."

"Please call me the cute and reliable Da Vinci~~"

"...Okay, dear...lovely and reliable Da Vinci."

Why can she act so naturally and sweetly? Wasn't she a man in her previous life?

"What's the reason? How did I die? I was playing FGO alone in my room and it was fine, how come it suddenly disappeared?"

"Um...well...do you really want to know?"

Leonardo da Vinci frowned. The person in front of him was damn handsome even when he was struggling.

No wonder her books are such bestsellers even though so many people know she's a man inside...

"Where is your last memory?"

The last thing I remember is...

"I remember... I think I was drawing from the card pool? FGO updated a lot of card pools at the end of the year."

What a pity, I never spend money when playing games, so I have very few stones. There are so many good-looking characters but I can only look at them...

I remember I saved up a lot of stones but didn't draw them, and then I was lucky when I drew the Killing Fox. I still had a lot left after I drew them, so I decided to try drawing the Dark Fox as well, and then... and then...

"I was just about to draw Dark Fox, and I even shouted...Sacrifice thirty years of my brother's life...?"

"Yes, yes, that's right. It seems that your memory hasn't been significantly damaged since you became a spirit body. Hmm... let's call it good news."

On the light screen, Leonardo da Vinci was holding a pen in one hand and paper in the other, and it was unknown what he was recording.

"But this isn't right. Even if my sacrifice was successful, I sacrificed my brother's lifespan, not mine. Why was it me who died?"

Be puzzled.

"Hmm? Oh, that's because your sacrifice wasn't successful. It was interrupted by your good brother." Da Vinci shifted his attention from the report paper. "Just before you sacrificed your good brother, the other party sacrificed fifty years of your life first."

“…He got it?”

"Of course, they pulled out Dark Goyanskaya, Gilgamesh, Lanis, Kallen, and a Saber-class Astolfo. They even got a Five Treasures for the cute Astolfo."

"*Chaldean curse*"

It’s my blessing to have a good brother like you!

He himself didn't know that his life was so valuable!

"That's really true! Even though you're already a little ball of light, I can still see how furious you are. So, are you angry that the other party sacrificed your life without your consent, or are you jealous that they used your life to extract so many good things?"

"Dear Da Vinci, please don't tease me anymore. I'm already very troubled."

A second figure appeared on the light screen. His lavender and pinkish hair covered one eye. His voice, temperament and appearance gave people a soft and gullible feeling.

"Mashu! Are you here too?"

Oh, oh, oh! A real pervert!

...even though there's a screen between us.

"Yes, Senior, I'm sorry, I can't rush to your side immediately. As your shield, I should protect you..."

Judging from Da Vinci's petite and delicate appearance, Mashu should be in the period of losing Galahad's spiritual base now, right?

"It's okay. It's already a very happy thing for me to see you, Mashu. Besides, I have always been protected by you, whether you are by my side or not, right?"

"senior……"

Mashu's cheeks on the light screen turned slightly redder, and her charm value increased by five percentage points.

Does this screen saver have a screenshot function?

"senior……"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Mashu's eyes were a gorgeous purple, purer than any gem, clearer than any lake. Even after overcoming countless hardships and malice, the light within them never dimmed. It was precisely this light that allowed her to hold up the spotless chalk wall countless times.

"...Nothing, it's just..." Mashu blinked, a faint smile on her face, "I just feel...senpai is indeed a senior."

Ah, that's a little unclear.

"Really? That's a bit too different, isn't it? Seeing me and seeing Mash are completely different. Da Vinci will be jealous."

"Ah? Could it be that I, a single soul, have two forms?"

"Your tone, your tone, the moment you saw Mashu, it was like you had eaten honey cake, and the words you spoke were soft and sweet."

real or fake?

"Ahem! Okay, that's all for the touching reunion and caring. Next, it's time for the genius Da Vinci to answer your questions." After a pause, Da Vinci smiled and said, "Be delighted, Master. Your long-cherished wish is about to come true. Yes, you will have the opportunity to travel to that other world you've longed for."

"Because the world you originally lived in, Master, had no mystical existence. If you died, your soul would dissipate into the most basic spirit particles, with no other possibility. Although Chaldea has managed to preserve your soul, without a framework to anchor your existence, your fate, Master, can only be to become 'non-existent' and fall into the depths of imaginary space. In terms of the outcome, it would be better for you to transform into a spirit particle and merge into the world."

"So, in order to stabilize your existence, we urgently need to send you to a stable world, also known as an alternate world. Because you are already dead in the world you originally lived in, we cannot, at least not yet, return you to your original world."

"Besides that, there's another more troublesome situation. We didn't bring your body with us, Master. While it's not impossible to reshape a vessel that can hold your soul, I'm an almighty genius after all. Creating a body that suits you is as easy as unscrewing the cap on a bottle of juice. However, we don't know the situation in the other world yet. There's no guarantee that there won't be some highly dangerous units that could threaten your life, and everyone in Chaldea won't be able to show up to protect you."

"So, after discussions among everyone in Chaldea, every time you travel to a new world, a Servant will lend you their Spiritual Base. You can freely use the power and skills granted by the Spiritual Base to protect yourself. By the way, this plan was inspired by the three novels on your bookshelf, Master: 'I Don't Want to Be a Valkyrie', 'Transformed into a Genshin Character...', and 'One Transformation in Each World'."

Leonardo's words startled me.

"Wait, wait! Why do you, Da Vinci, know about my bookshelf? Also, do I have to transform like them?!"

"Don't come on, you must be secretly delighted in your heart."

Oh no, I’ve been seen through.

After all, the heroic spirits in FGO are more handsome than each other, the dragon-slaying warrior Siegfried, the prototype of the brave Rama, and even the big dog Cu Chulainn, except for his unbearable luck, he is still very handsome.

...But as expected, if there is a choice, I would definitely rule out the big dog.

Oh, I almost forgot.

"Um, is the choice of spiritual base random?"

"Of course, the probability is just slightly different."

Was it an illusion? Why did it always feel like there was something… sinister about the smile on Da Vinci's face?

"Think of it like drawing from a card pool, except the probability of drawing each Servant depends largely on the level you, the Master, strengthen them. For example, if you only have one Servant raised to level 100 by feeding the Holy Grail and one Servant at level 1, then the probability of drawing their Spiritual Bases is approximately 100/101 and 1/101. After all, to better ensure your safety, of course you should try to choose a stronger Spiritual Base for your Master. We're doing this for your own good."

"..."

At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with what Leonardo da Vinci said.

But the problem is...

"I've hardly ever fed upgrade materials to male servants, eh--!!"

"That's none of our business. It's not like we don't allow Master to upgrade male characters."

Are you kidding me? You are definitely kidding me!!

I play FGO not to become stronger, but more to support my wife!

It's because the official drew the female characters' portraits so beautifully. Not to mention their strength, I have to feed them to the maximum level in order to collect the portrait book.

　And the few male characters I have reached the maximum level... seem to be only Arash and Astolfo?

Wow, a self-destructing hero and a sissy?

I upgraded Arash because I was amazed by the arrow that shattered the stars in the sixth singularity. As for Astolfo...

My thought at the time was – after all, it’s just a character in the game, so I have the final say on whether he’s a man or a woman. But I insisted he was a woman!!

"Alright, Master, I trust you've made the most basic mental preparation. Without further ado, we'll send you to the nearest world. Take a deep breath. The difference in effect from a spirit particle transfer... Forget that you haven't experienced spirit particle transfer in the real world, Master. Just think of it as a roller coaster without a seatbelt."

"Isn't that dangerous?!"

"Don't worry, it's normal to feel dizzy and nauseous. Master, you're a spirit being anyway, so you don't have to worry about vomiting out your internal organs."

"Will you vomit your internal organs?!"

The feeling of unease grew stronger as Da Vinci spoke, but he didn't directly answer my question. Instead, he fiddled with something, and then an irresistible pulling force acted on me, and I lost consciousness the next moment...

…………

"Senior, is she... okay?"

Covering her heart with both hands, Mashu looked timidly at the large screen that had been cut off from the connection, and couldn't help feeling worried.

"Give her a little more trust. As her companion who has transcended the Burning of Humanity, you should know better than anyone how resilient her soul is beneath her seemingly fragile exterior."

A pair of hands were placed on Mashu's shoulders. Facing a girl as pure as Mashu, Da Vinci's tone unconsciously became gentle.

"Although you can no longer use that shield to keep out all the malice and disaster that approached her like you did before, there's more to help than just that. We, the off-field supporters, are also their 'shields,' invisible but indispensable 'shields.'"

"Even an omnipotent genius has things he can't do. So, from now on, we can only give her our full trust."

"Believe in her. She has never let us down, and I believe it will be the same in the future."

New book, please support me. If you think it is not well written, you can correct me, but please don't criticize me. Thank you.

Chapter 2 Bawanshi My Wife!

The sky is clear, with a few pure white clouds floating across occasionally.

The little sparrow flapped its wings, enjoying the unrestrained freedom.

Until something suddenly appeared in front of it, something that shouldn't have appeared in the vast sky.

It was so sudden that the tiny creature didn't have time to react before it crashed into her and fell to the ground with her.

…………

When I came to, I found myself approaching the ground at high speed, or like bungee jumping without a rope.

But I was surprisingly not surprised.

Just now when Leonardo da Vinci said "similar to the transfer of soul particles", I anticipated this development.
