Shirou's clones number 30 million

"You may not know me, but I know you very well. To be honest, I really don't want to do this, but it's the only way now."

'What exactly do you want?'

"I entrust everything to you. Take my ideals and do what you want to do, go and save the world! My other self."

As expected, it's Archer. But does this mean I'm going to become a Demi-Servant?

'No, I don't need your power. If possible, please entrust everything you have to someone more suitable.'

What's the use of merging with Archer (Red A) to become a Demi-Servant?

Rather, it's simply a waste.

Do you know what kind of opportunities you've turned down?

'I know, it's just the power of Heroic Spirits, isn't it? I don't need it, and I don't want it.'

"I never imagined that I would be looked down upon to this extent by another version of myself. In that case, you'd better not regret it."

Thank you for your kindness, I will never regret it.

How could I possibly regret it?

However, I never expected that the Red A of this world would come knocking on my door.

Before they knew it, the familiar voice had disappeared, and the surroundings became completely silent.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka came to her senses, she was already in a pile of ruins.

The air was filled with the sounds of clashing weapons and the smell of sulfur from a fire.

Turning his head, he saw Mash and Olga Marie standing guard on either side of him.

Both of them have fully recovered from their injuries, and their broken legs are completely intact without a single scratch.

Compared to not long ago, the two were dressed very strangely.

Mash, dressed in a black bodysuit and holding a large shield, is engaged in close combat with a group of skeleton soldiers.

Olga Marie, dressed in a red and black bodysuit and coat, was constantly firing arrows from a distance.

"Chief, why are you wearing my clothes?"

Although the thought unconsciously crossed her mind, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly realized it in a split second.

Just now, it seems I encountered a Red Archer who wanted to merge with me.

It seems that after being driven away, he entrusted his power to the director.

"Fujimaru, now that you're awake, give the order quickly."

"Give an order?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Olga Marie in surprise.

“That’s right! Although I’m very reluctant, you are now my and Mash’s Master.”

As she spoke, Olga Marie suddenly glared at him fiercely and said in an annoyed tone:

"Hey, you don't seem to have figured out what's going on yet, do you?"

"No, I understand now. The Director and Mash have become Demi-Servants, and I am your Master, right?"

"That's it. So, give the order, Fujimaru."

"Oh...then please destroy the skeleton in front of you."

"Understood! Fujimaru, can't you speak with a little more spirit? This is Chaldea's first battle, how can you be so listless?"

"Even if you say that, the enemies are just some small fry."

"Faced with such a dangerous situation, you show absolutely no sense of tension. My judgment that you should leave was definitely right. Heavens! Why is my Master you?"

"Because I'm the only one left. Didn't everyone else die in that explosion?"

"No, they must still be alive! We must contact Chaldea as soon as possible..."

Olga Marie gritted her teeth and began to concentrate on drawing her bow and shooting arrows, one skeleton soldier after another.

Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to help, but as soon as she stepped out of the two people's protective circle, Mashu blocked her with her shield once again.

"Senior, please stand behind me. I will take care of all the skeleton soldiers that are charging at me."

"Actually, I can fight too."

By this time, the two had already wiped out all the surrounding skeleton soldiers.

Mashu slowly walked over and asked curiously:

"Senior, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"nothing?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her speechlessly. Why was she always treated like an ordinary person being protected? At least give me a chance to make a move.

At that moment, the communication device on my wrist suddenly rang.

The next moment, accompanied by a magic circle, Dr. Roman's projection appeared in front of the three.

"Finally made contact, Mashu, Fujimaru, and the director, you're all alive! That's wonderful!"

"Romani, why are you in charge?"

"Because of that explosion, among the remaining people, no one has a higher position than me."

"Where's Rafe? Is Rafe still alive?"

"No trace was found; it's probably already..."

Olga Marie was momentarily lost in thought, the scene she had witnessed in the central control room flashing through her mind again, and she murmured to herself:

Is that really the case?

With such a massive explosion, if it weren't for the chance encounter that turned them into Demi-Servants, they would probably have already perished.

Rafe was right in the middle of the explosion, and his chances of survival seemed much smaller than Rafe's.

"Where is the suitable Master?"

"The entire group is in a state of peril."

It's good that you're still alive.

Olga Marie breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:

"Immediately freeze them! Save their lives first, then we'll figure out how to save others."

"Yes, I'll take care of it right away."

Dr. Roman quickly left, and the projection automatically turned off.

Seeing this, Olga Marie silently looked at the ground, her expression somber.

After a long while, she forced herself to calm down and turned to look at Fujimaru Ritsuka:

"Fujimaru, do you have enough mana to support two Servants at the same time?"

"More than enough."

"Don't try to be strong and take on two Servants at the same time. Even if you can't keep up, no one will blame you. Besides, you're just an ordinary person with no special talents."

"Don't worry, with my magical power, even if I summon two more Servants, there will be no problem at all."

By the way, most Servants can sense the general state of their Master's magical power, right?

Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then added:

“Demi-Servants are different from ordinary Servants. They consume very little mana. You didn’t use any Noble Phantasms, so you barely used any mana just now.”

"I'm sorry, senpai, I can't actually use my Noble Phantasm," Mash apologized softly.

“No need to apologize, Mashu, I can’t use my Noble Phantasm either.” Olga Marie glared at Fujimaru Ritsuka again. “This must be because Fujimaru’s ability as a Master is too poor, which led to this situation.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka was speechless. Was this my fault?

Chapter 292, Section 293: I Will Never Let You Die Before Me

"Fujimaru, give the order."

Although Olga Marie kept saying such things, Fujimaru Ritsuka always felt that Olga Marie didn't actually consider her a Master at all.

The evidence is that Fujimaru Ritsuka, who knew the destination, originally intended to take a detour and head straight for Black Saber.

However, Olga Marie insisted on taking the two of them with her to fight other Servants.

During the battle, he repeatedly ordered Fujimaru Ritsuka not to make a move, and he and Mash flanked him from the left and right.

"Director, I suggest we find a place with a stronger spiritual energy response and summon one or two more Servants."

"Are you scared? Fujimaru, I understand how you feel. Don't worry, Mash and I will protect you."

That's not what I meant.

There's no chance to act, and you can't summon Servants. This is definitely the highest difficulty level, or rather, the highest difficulty level created by human intervention.

Moreover, both of them meant well, making it really difficult to force them to refuse.

While deep in thought, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly had an idea.

If they won't let me take action, then I'll find another opportunity.

For example, create a shadow clone, and then have the shadow clone pretend to be a lone Servant to come and help.

The original plan was to personally take action, revealing power surpassing both of them, and then explain it by saying, "I am actually a Demi-Servant as well."

Plans can't keep up with changes; in such situations, a different approach can solve the problem.

"Got you!"

As Olga Marie spoke, a dense array of chains surged forth, completely surrounding the three of them.

"Taking the initiative? That's commendable, and I have to give you a few words of praise."

Medusa, the source of the chains, stood on a telephone pole by the bridge, looking down at the group.

"Senpai, you are a Servant! Be careful."
