Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Just now, when that beautiful woman took the initiative to approach you, what was your attitude? Instead of trying to take advantage, you didn't make the first move, and you actually drew your sword against her. It's simply unbelievable!"

Shirou was speechless. Was he blaming himself for not cooperating enough?

"This is the normal attitude, okay? Who would knowingly jump into a trap? Besides, since Lala and I are lovers, it's natural for me to keep my distance from other women, right?"

"Foolish! What a foolish idea! But I do understand why Lala likes you now."

King Deviluke smiled slightly, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked:

"So, what can you do for Lala? Although I'm not someone who values social status, with your background, you're not good enough for Lala."

“I can protect Lala. Although I may not be as good as you, I believe I have some strength. In addition, I can accompany her to every corner of the universe, to any place she wants to go.”

"Oh...? You're very confident in your abilities, kid!"

King Deviluke laughed and extended his fist, his body crackling with electricity.

In contrast, Shirou's body also emitted a strong chill, and ice instantly formed under his feet.

The fists collided, creating tiny spatial cracks around them.

Chapter 151 It seems I can retire early.

Chapter 151, Section 152: It Seems Like I Can Retire Early

“Not bad, not bad… even better than Sasdin’s report. But marrying my daughter won’t be an easy thing.”

King Deviluke withdrew his fist, looked Shirou up and down, and laughed:

"I never imagined that such a remote little planet could give birth to a talent like you, but that's far from enough."

"Defeat all your competitors and make the whole universe admire you. Only then will I acknowledge you as my son-in-law."

Shirou seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded slightly:

"That's to be expected. Before today, I've encountered quite a few aliens who actively came looking for trouble. If my rivals are all idiots, I think I'm definitely not going to lose."

"Oh...? What if the other person is better than you?"

"That's true, the universe is so vast, that possibility exists. But I will win!"

"What makes you so confident? You may be skilled, but that's not enough to make up for the difference in your background, is it?"

"Indeed, but one's origins don't determine everything. Humans are creatures that excel at learning. Extraterrestrial technology and strength may be more advanced than Earth's, but that's only because their history is longer. If technology and individual strength are roughly equal, Earthlings will definitely not lose."

King Deviluke nodded slightly, looking at Shirou with considerable satisfaction.

The boyfriend my daughter found is much better than I imagined.

Even looking across the universe, it would be difficult to find someone like that.

All he lacked was an opportunity to leave Earth.

Even without meeting Lala, he would probably have become a dominant force in the universe.

However, although he is excellent in every way, his daughter cannot be easily handed over to him.

"Anyone can just talk the talk, but how can you prove it? Or rather, what method do you plan to use to defeat your competitors across the entire universe?"

"The news of Lala's presence on Earth has probably not spread throughout the universe yet, and there are still many suitors who are unaware of it. Otherwise, it's unlikely that all those who came would be minor figures."

Shirou paused for a moment, then said seriously:

"Could you please publish a news item to the universe? Say that Lala has been tricked into loving a man from Earth..."

"When such news officially spreads throughout the universe, I imagine those suitors, ambitious people, and busybodies will be eager to come and cause me trouble."

That's how it is now, but rumors and official news are different.

As official news spreads throughout the universe, the number of people coming to cause trouble will inevitably increase.

Moreover, the people who come won't be the same minor figures as before.

“Oh…? Do you understand what this means?” King Deviluke asked in return.

"Of course. But prestige is earned through action, and a rival in love cannot be persuaded by words alone."

"Haha... I only understood this after I grew up, I didn't expect you to understand it now. Very good, you want to take on more challenges, I'll grant your wish!"

……

Upon hearing from Sasdin that her father had come to Earth, Lala immediately rushed to the Tsukimi family home in a panic.

However, when I opened the door, the scene I saw was completely different from what I had imagined.

"Dad? Shirou..."

At this moment, Shirou is serving tea to King Deviluke with a very serious posture.

"Father-in-law, please have some tea."

"Don't call me that. I haven't acknowledged you as my son-in-law yet."

"Then how should I address you?"

“My name is Chedo Lucion Deviluke, call me whatever you like.”

"Uncle Cheetos?"

"You're pretty quick on the uptake, kid."

King Deviluke laughed for a while, then turned to look at Lala, who was standing in the doorway:

"You've come at the right time, Lala. I approve of your relationship, but marriage can only happen after he passes the test."

"Huh...? When did Daddy become so easy to talk to?" Lala quickly ran to Shirou's side and couldn't help but ask, "What did you do, Shirou?"

"We didn't do anything, just chatted for a bit. Why did you suddenly come, Lala?"

“I heard from Sasdin that your father came to cause you trouble in a big way, worried that you might be in danger. I’m so glad you’re alright.”

"Thank you, but Uncle Cheetos isn't the unreasonable type, so there's no need to worry too much."

"Hmm... what kind of test is Daddy talking about?"

"It's not really a test, just the daily routine. Defeat all your rivals and make the whole universe admire you."

"Huh...? You agreed?"

"Yes, this is what I should do. I would have done it even if Uncle Cheetos hadn't said anything."

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault..."

"No need to apologize."

Shirou interrupted Lala with a smile, ruffled her hair, and said with a laugh:

"You have some confidence in me, don't you? If you want to wear the crown, you have to bear the weight. To marry the most beautiful girl in the universe, you naturally have to take on the corresponding risks."

"Huh...? The most beautiful girl in the universe...hehe..."

These words seemed to strike a chord with Lala, making her burst into laughter.

The next moment, she pounced on him.

"I love you the most, Shirou!"

"Thank you, me too."

King Deviluke looked back and forth between the two, unconsciously thinking to himself:

It seems I can retire early.

"Hey kid, I heard your family's food is pretty good. Get some late-night snacks ready. Also, we're out of tea."

"Wait a moment." Shirou refilled his tea, then asked, "How's Uncle Chido's appetite? What kind of late-night snack do you like? Something light or something greasy?"

"Anything is fine, just prepare whatever you like, I can eat as much as you want."

"In that case, I'll prepare more."

After Shirou left the living room, King Deviluke turned his gaze to Lala and asked:

"Don't you have anything to say, Lala?"

“I…I’m sorry, Dad, I shouldn’t have run away from home. But I don’t regret this trip.” Lala smiled slightly. “Thanks to this, I met Shirou.”

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. I hope your future path will become smoother and smoother."

He was actually very satisfied with the boyfriend his daughter had found.

But to avoid making her overconfident, she would never say such a thing.

After a long while, Shirou walked into the living room carrying a huge plate of roasted meat.

Meanwhile, behind him, many Shirous came over one after another, carrying trays.

Because ninjutsu and magic were used while cooking, the time was greatly reduced. In just over ten minutes, a large meal that would normally take several hours to prepare was ready.

"I felt that Uncle Cheetos had a good appetite, so I prepared some extra dishes, but as a late-night snack, it's not really up to par."

The aroma of roasted meat, mingled with the fragrances of various dishes, aroused a strong appetite in King Deviluke.

"That's right, with such skills, you'd be more than qualified to open a restaurant."

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of roasted meat.

Once you take a bite, you can't stop.

In the blink of an eye, he had devoured most of the dishes.

"With cooking skills like this, I understand why Sasdin got fat," King Deviluke exclaimed with a smile.

"Huh...? Has Sasdin gotten fat?"

I didn't feel anything at all.

Shirou instinctively looked at Lala, seeking her opinion.
