Shirou's clones number 30 million

Esdeath stared at the two for a long time but still couldn't find anything extraordinary about them.

Considering that she would see him less often after moving from Adris's house to the princess's residence, Esdeath decided to visit him tonight.

It's a good opportunity to have a long-awaited training match and let him see my new tricks.

After dinner, Esdeath arrived at Adris's house after a long absence.

Even though it's a place I've lived in for a long time, coming back here again feels strangely unfamiliar.

He specifically instructed his servants not to make a sound and quietly headed towards the courtyard.

However, the scene that came into view left her completely stunned.

Adris is as handsome as ever, unchanged.

But behind him, a young girl was hugging him tightly, their expressions and actions extremely intimate, like lovers who had been in love for a long time.

Esdeath stood there blankly, a chill gradually rising in her heart and spreading outwards.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already grabbed an ice knife and stabbed at him.

Chapter 130, Section 131: Your childhood sweetheart is crying in the corner.

"Death!"

The sudden sound startled Shirou slightly. He reacted in an instant, flicked his finger, and the ice blade flew backward.

"Esdeath, what are you doing?"

"That's what I want to ask you: what are you doing?"

At that moment, Esdeath exuded a chilling aura from the inside out, causing Chelsea to shiver involuntarily.

too horrible!

Luckily, Adris was there, otherwise I would have been killed by her in an instant.

"Miss Esdeath, perhaps we can talk?"

Esdeath didn't reply, but glared at her fiercely before turning to Shirou again, asking each word clearly:

What exactly are you doing?

"Let's admire the moon."

"I thought you would understand even if I didn't say it."

Understand what?

Although he really wanted to ask that, as her childhood friend, Shirou understood the meaning behind her words very well, and it was really hard for him to pretend not to understand.

"As childhood sweethearts who grew up together, we've always been inseparable partners. But it seems the day has finally come for us to go our separate ways."

"Childhood sweetheart? Is that how you've always seen me?"

"Is there a problem? Aren't you one?"

Looking at their still tightly clasped hands, Esdeath's face grew even colder.

“I’ve always felt that you belong to me, so from childhood to adulthood, no matter what you do, I’ve always silently supported you.”

"I've always felt that you and I share the same thoughts... but if you see me as merely an obstacle preventing you from moving forward, then pick up your sword..."

At this point, Esdeath held up her ice skates horizontally, her right hand held straight up in front of her.

"Kill me, and clear the way for you."

Shirou sighed softly and slowly began to speak:

When I was a child, I imagined a future with you, but as I grew up, I gradually stopped having those thoughts.

“Many people say that we are very similar, just like two different versions of the same person, male and female.”

"But we both know that we are actually completely opposite types."

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.” Esdeath looked coldly at Shirou. “All I know is that if you’re going to abandon me and be with her, then kill me. You have no other choice.”

As she spoke, she turned her ice blade around, the hilt pointing at Shirou and the tip at herself.

At that moment, Chelsea felt that she hadn't done anything wrong, yet she inexplicably had the illusion that she was a third party interfering in and ruining someone else's relationship.

“Miss Esdeath, he will absolutely not lay a hand on you. This approach will only prolong the stalemate.”

"Therefore, it would be better for each of us to take a step back."

"Shall the three of us live together from now on?"

Esdeath abruptly turned to Chelsea, glaring at her with murderous intent, and said coldly:

"Who are you? I've never seen you before."

"No, Miss Esdeath has actually seen me before."

As she spoke, Chelsea suddenly transformed into a cat, then quickly transformed back.

"So you're that cat! Is it the effect of the Imperial Arms?"

At that moment, Esdeath felt inexplicably disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.

Unexpectedly, the cat that Adris brought back was actually a human in disguise.

Moreover, she actually took advantage of my absence to secretly steal him away.

“Adris, you can’t protect her forever. With my strength, if you weren’t here, killing her would only take a moment.”

"So, if you really want to be with her, then kill me. That's your only option."

Shirou sighed softly and said in a deep voice:

"You know I would never actually lay a hand on you, so what's the point of saying things like that?"

“In that case, let me put it another way.” Esdeath’s lips curled slightly upward, but her expression grew increasingly cold. “If I killed her while you were away, what would you do? Kill me to avenge her?”

Shirou lowered his head and remained silent, deep in thought.

Given Esdeath's personality, this is definitely not a threat, but rather something that is very likely to happen.

and so--

“I won’t kill you. Besides Chelsea, you are the only person I trust in this world.”

"If she really dies at your hands, I will break off all ties with you and become complete strangers with you from now on."

"At the same time, we will travel the world in search of a way to bring her back to life."

Esdeath's face showed a slight emotion; the word "only" struck a chord with her.

However, she found the word "except" utterly repulsive.

"I see... This is something you would do."

Esdeath nodded slightly, her fist clenching and unclenching involuntarily.

After repeating this several times, he took a deep breath and spoke again:

"What exactly do you like about her? It hasn't been long since you brought her home. Are you sure this isn't just a passing fancy?"

"I'm sure. A lot has actually happened between us in places you haven't seen."

"For example, sleeping in the same bed at night? Before, you took that cat with you everywhere you went, and I was wondering, why did you suddenly become interested in raising a cat? Turns out, it wasn't a cat at all."

"Um... I have nothing to say."

"Of course you have nothing to say. You knew it wasn't a real cat the moment you saw it, didn't you? Humph! No wonder you insisted I move to the princess's residence. It was to make room for her."

"It was your suggestion to move to the princess's residence, wasn't it? I didn't say a word about it."

"Are you blaming me? I did all this for your plan!"

"I know, so thank you."

At this moment, Esdeath fell silent.

From childhood to adulthood, she rarely argued with Shirou, but every time they did, the result was always the same—she won, but she was extremely unhappy.

After a long silence, Esdeath took another deep breath, stared intently at Shirou, and said, word by word:

"I'm moving back, just like she said, so the three of us can live together from now on. Do you have any objections?"

Shirou naturally understood what this meant. After pondering for a few seconds, he asked softly:

"Even if I don't like you, is that okay?"

"It's okay! I like you, that's enough." Esdeath smiled slightly.

"That's settled then." Shirou sighed softly.

……

That night, inside the white fog space.

"Oh...you're just being hypocritical after getting a good deal, aren't you? What a jerk!" Tsukimi Shirou looked at Adris Shirou speechlessly.

"You have no right to say such things to me. What right does a guy who always takes advantage of girls by falling down have to spout such righteous nonsense?"

"That was beyond my control! Apart from that, I am devoted to Lala."

“I am also devoted to Chelsea.”

"So, you're a scumbag. You're having two women on your hands, yet you still talk about being devoted to one person. Your childhood sweetheart is crying in the corner right now."

As Shirou and his companions entered the white mist space, they discovered the two arguing and rushed forward to shake hands.

Then, they all looked at Adris Shirou with the contemptuous eyes one would give a scumbag.

"You guys...want to fight?"

Adris looked around, then at the others of himself with eager anticipation.
