Shirou's clones number 30 million

The girl choked on her food because she was eating too fast, so she quickly picked up the coffee on the table and drank it down.

I drank half of it in one go before I recovered.

"He's alive..."

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

"Are you sure you won't steal it?" The girl looked up at Shirou cautiously.

"Don't worry, they won't steal it."

Shirou paused, then smiled and said:

"Besides, your hands are too dirty; you've made the pizza all dirty. I'm not going to steal something like that."

The girl paused, looked down at her hands, and then became angry and embarrassed.

The next moment, he suddenly reached out and rubbed his hand back and forth on Shirou's shirt a few times.

"Hmph... Now you're just like me."

"So dirty! Looks like I'll have to change my clothes now. Seriously..."

Seeing that he was only sighing and not angry, the girl fell silent instead.

Wouldn't such an attitude make him seem like a bigger bad guy?

"Um...aren't you angry?"

"It's impossible not to be angry at all. But I've been wearing this outfit for several days and was planning to change it anyway, so this is just in time."

The girl stared at him blankly, unconsciously thinking:

Is this guy with such a good temper really a demon king?

"You...are you really not going to continue doing bad things?"

"I've never done anything wrong."

"Since you don't intend to continue doing bad things, I'll be merciful and let you go this time. However, just in case, I'll stay and keep an eye on you."

"Uh..."

Shirou chuckled to himself; this was the first time he'd ever heard someone phrase a request for shelter in such a refined and elegant way.

"Then let's leave it at that."

Chapter 215 I can only resent you

Chapter 215, Section 216: All I can do is resent you.

Not long after.

"Let's go, let's go buy you some clothes to change into first."

"Huh...?"

"Although I really want you to go by yourself, some shop assistants in malls will recommend some poor-quality, overpriced clothes, and I always feel like you'll be ripped off."

"Impossible! I'm not a child, how could I be fooled?"

"After buying clothes, I still need to buy some household items... Oh right, now that there's one more person in the family, the food in the refrigerator isn't enough, so I need to buy some more."

This guy!

Why did things turn out this way, that she was walking side by side with the Demon King?

Moreover, although they say it in a very nice way, like supervising? In reality, aren't they just accepting the Demon King's favor?

Thinking of this, the brave girl shook her head repeatedly, trying to shake the thought out of her mind.

She suddenly stopped, grabbed Shirou's sleeve, and asked in a tone that was hard to tell whether she was angry or confused:

"Why? I'm your nemesis, the hero! Why do you treat me with such a casual attitude? It's like you're talking to the neighbor's kid."

Shirou paused for a moment, then laughed:

Even if you say that, to me, you really are just like the little girl next door. If we consider the world as our own home, aren't we just neighbors living on the same land?

"If that's the case, why would you order the killing of your own family members?"

"...I've done my best. But even the Demon King finds it difficult to control every subordinate in remote areas."

"Using such words to completely shirk responsibility! And then, act as if nothing ever happened?"

Thinking of her family, friends, and neighbors who had died at the hands of the Demon King's army, the brave girl's face revealed intense hostility.

"Well... let bygones be bygones."

If I continue, whatever I say will feel like I'm shirking responsibility.

But in reality, Shirou genuinely felt that he didn't bear much responsibility.

"The past? How could it be the past? The lives of over a hundred people in my village are just a trivial matter in your eyes?"

Looking at the angry girl, Shirou remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking:

"The Demon King is not the Demon King who has done all sorts of evil deeds, but rather the King of the Demon Race."

"I was not born a demon king, nor was I originally a demon king."

"Initially, I was just a weak demon living at the lowest level."

"After years of continuous power enhancement, I finally succeeded in seizing the title of Demon King."

"In the years that followed, under the constraints of the system, the demon race gradually calmed down and the original turmoil disappeared."

"As for the human nations, due to the pressure from the demons, they united and signed a corresponding treaty, and stopped fighting wars year after year."

"I don't know when or where your family and friends died, but the demons and humans have accumulated a great deal of hatred due to years of war."

"This is a problem left over from history, and it was not caused by me."

"However, if you insist on believing that I am the one who started the war and killed your family, then I will not deny it."

"However, I will not surrender easily. If you want revenge, then work hard to become stronger."

The brave girl involuntarily loosened her grip on Shirou's clothes, lowered her head, and remained silent.

If everything he said is true, then who should one turn to for revenge?

The previous Demon King? A demon who directly took action? Or this guy in front of me?

"I don't know if what you're saying is true or false, but you are the king who rules over all the demons, so I can only resent you."

"Ah."

I will definitely kill you!

"You are no match for me. Keep getting stronger."

"Most definitely!"

After walking silently behind Shirou for a while, the brave girl suddenly spoke:

"Have you not lost your power?"

"No."

"So...you're not planning to go back?"

"Hmm." Shirou nodded slightly and said softly, "The existence of the Demon King will give confidence to the demons below and make them arrogantly think of unifying the continent."

"What does it mean?"

"In short, the power of humans and demons is basically equal, but the power of the Demon King is too great and will break the balance. Peace is hard-won, and it is better if I am not here."

Peace?

The Demon King is actually this kind of person?

Come to think of it, whenever we met before, I would just rush over with my sword without saying a word, and I never spoke to him.

The brave girl fell silent.

Seeing this, Shirou smiled and said:

"If you want to go back, I can use magic to open a door and send you on your way."

"In that case, we won't need to buy clothes and daily necessities, but we will need to buy some local specialties."

"Everything in this world is very novel to them; basically, you can bring back any item as a local specialty."

"As for appliances, they won't work without electricity, so I recommend you bring food back with you. Especially snacks, you definitely can't buy them there."

The brave girl hesitated visibly, and after a long while, she raised her head and stared intently at Shirou:

"I'm not going back! I'm staying here to keep an eye on you and see if what you're saying is true or false."

"I see...that works then."

"Also, my name is Emilia, what's yours?"

"Shirou, just call me Shirou."

......

At the same time, inside the white fog space.

"That's enough for today." As he spoke, Officer Shirou unconsciously yawned. "I've been busy these past few days, but now that the security situation has returned to normal, I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Seeing this, Shiro Sakurai quickly called out to him:

"Don't rush off yet. When do you want to have dinner tomorrow? Let me make a date and I'll have someone prepare it in advance."

“Hmm…” Officer Shirou pondered, “Around one o’clock tomorrow afternoon, I’d like to get a good night’s sleep before then.”

"Alright, but if you're going to do something, at least contact Kirishima Touka beforehand and tell her not to eat lunch so she can have an empty stomach."

"That's true, haha..."

Police officer Shirou smiled and waved his hand, then disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

"I'm leaving too. It's still early today, so I'll practice the guitar a bit more. To be honest, I'm not quite proficient at using two instruments at the same time yet."

Seeing Kitahara Shirou disappear as well, Itsuka Shirou's heart stirred slightly, and he too disappeared.
