[Anime Crossover] Fireworks of Yesteryear

My original wish was to freeload meals at my master's place, learn enough kendo, and then join my junior brother's family someday, just like him. I'd live a vague, aimless life until I died.

My wish now is to grab onto every lifeline in this world and survive alongside the people I care about.

-- Wakaba Ren

We swung the blades in our hands without knowing why we had picked them up, on that black battlefield full of peril;

We watched the same ending happen over and over, but couldn't grasp the key to changing it, in the middle of that little village trapped in an endless loop;

We raised our blades a second time to protect our sun, in that sleepless city hidden behind all its splendor;

We answered the summons and fought alongside our masters for the wishes in our hearts, in that Holy Grail War, ablaze with passion;

We engraved our glory alongside those who shared our ideals, in the age that belonged to them, right up to the very end.

When I suddenly look back at the fireworks of those days, I realize that although the present and future are very different, these pure ideals have never changed.

Thanks to Yuluo Cover Art Shop for the beautiful cover.

I've crammed so much into this blurb... In reality, this is just a strange, twisted story about a kendo-loving girl who likes freeloading meals, being tossed around different parallel worlds by the great god Choice as she searches for a reason to exist. No polyamory, and I'm determined not to make it a wish-fulfillment story. Aimed at a happy ending, and it doesn't follow the plot too closely. Suggestions, comments, and criticism are all welcome. Thank you.

A Battle Royale fanfic, full of angst, violence, and blood [beep], but love and peace are its eternal themes:

A series of recommendations I put together on a whim:

P.S. I want to change this story to have no romance. I'm still not very good at writing romance, and the story has felt geared toward teenage boys from the beginning. The main plot is about friendship, growing up, and searching for oneself. Although I previously said the love interest would be a character from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, I feel that if we just move from one world to another, the relationship would develop far too quickly and feel very abrupt. So this story won't have a couple at the end. However, I plan to write a sequel after I finish this one, focusing on the story I originally wanted to tell. So I'm making this announcement here and apologizing...

P.P.S. I will definitely write the sequel. I've written my plans for the new story in my column. I plan to move the Battle Royale story up the list. You don't need to have read the original to follow it...
