Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Good morning. By the way, what brings you to my room again?"

"Is Shirou angry?"

"I'm not going to get angry over such a small thing."

"Then...would you like to sleep a little longer?"

Shirou looked at her speechlessly, wanting to say something to her, but he couldn't bring himself to get angry.

"I think that under the laws of any planet, unmarried men and women shouldn't be allowed to sleep together, right?"

"It's okay, I like Shirou," Lala said with a grin.

"Don't pretend you don't understand what I'm saying... Fine, I can't do anything with you, get up."

"Help me get dressed?"

"Don't pretend to be a clueless airhead who can't dress, do it yourself... really."

Chapter 323 The First Battle on Planet Deviluke

Chapter 323, Section 324: The First Battle on Planet Deviluke

Devil's Bane.

Passing through the portal, the two instantly arrived on another distant planet.

The physical differences between Deviluke aliens and Earthlings are not significant, almost negligible, which makes them feel exceptionally familiar to Shirou.

But as the center of the Milky Way, this place is home to a large number of strangely shaped creatures, in addition to the Deviluke aliens who look exactly like Earthlings.

"Welcome to Planet Deviluke, Shirou."

Unlike on Earth, the people here are dressed similarly to the clothes Lala was wearing when we first met.

For Shirou, although it felt a little awkward, it also felt very familiar.

"It's more lively than I expected. What's going on over there? Why are there so many people gathered around?"

Gravity there seems to be greater than on Earth, but it's basically negligible.

"It seems like some merchants are running a promotion."

"Huh...? I see."

It seems that enjoying watching a spectacle is human nature, and even aliens are no exception.

"Let's go take a look, Lala."

Tsukimi Shirou excitedly grabbed Lala's hand and walked towards the crowd.

As you get closer, a cacophony of voices fills the air.

"Don't rush, there are still plenty of tickets available, we guarantee that everyone can get one."

"Give me one!"

Through the crowd, Shirou stared at the ticket in the seller's hand for a while, and quickly understood.

Judging from the appearance, those seem to be tickets to a female singer's concert.

"Lala, have you ever heard of the name Lydora?"

"No, this is the first time I've heard this name."

"Looks like he's just an unknown singer, no wonder so few people are buying tickets."

As soon as Shirou finished speaking, several people on the outermost layer turned around and glared at him angrily.

But when the group saw Lala next to Shirou, their expressions immediately became excited, and cheers erupted.

"Oh...! It's Princess Lala."

"What! It really is Princess Lala! Please give me an autograph."

"Why is Princess Lala holding hands with a strange man? Could this be her rumored fiancé?"

In an instant, the two were surrounded by people buying tickets.

Meanwhile, more and more aliens began to gather from all directions.

"Lala, you're so popular! Does that mean everyone on Deviluke can recognize you at a glance?"

"Hehe...that's it, Shirou will soon become a celebrity too."

Lala smiled and waved to the people around her, greeting them calmly.

Great!

Shirou's heart skipped a beat. If he had known that Lala was this popular, he shouldn't have chosen Planet Deviluke as his travel destination.

"Could you please move aside for a moment? We'd like to stroll around the streets."

The words, imbued with magic, transformed into a powerful suggestive spell the moment they were spoken, causing people in the surrounding area to gradually scatter.

Seeing this, Shirou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, now he could continue shopping.

"Lala, that building is very tall, what is it for?"

"That's a virtual game room, just like an arcade on Earth."

"This looks interesting, let's go take a look."

Upon entering the building, the two were once again surrounded.

But compared to the riotous crowds on the street, the people here were somewhat more restrained.

The person who appeared to be an employee shooed away the crowd and gave Lala a slight bow.

"Lady Lala, it's been a long time. This must be your chosen consort, right? Since you're here, why not try out our latest game?"

"What types of games are there?" Shirou asked curiously.

"The most common and attractive games here are fighting games, of course. Would you like to give them a try, Mr. Wang?"

"Okay."

Shirou has played many fighting games on Earth, but he has never experienced any alien games, no matter which world he's from.

"Lala, want to play together?"

"Okay, cooperative combat or melee mode?"

"Let's familiarize ourselves with the game using the fighting mode first."

Led by the staff, the two went to a private room upstairs.

The room had a distinctly cosmic theme, resembling a starry sky, and contained two miniature warships about the size of the beds.

"Shirou, just lie down. If it's your first time, there will be a beginner's guide."

"clear."

See you in the game.

"Okay, I'll finish the tutorial as soon as possible."

Shirou imitated Lala's actions, pressing a button next to the battleship. The hatch immediately opened, revealing a place to lie down.

As you lie down inside, the hatch closes instantly, and the surrounding starry sky begins to flow, as if you've transformed into real space.

At the same time, a notification sound rang in my ear:

[Please select a username.]

"Tsukimi Shirou".

[Username Tsukimi Shirou is logged in. Please select a mecha style.]

The next moment, countless mechs suddenly appeared all around.

"This one will do."

[Mech selected. First-time login detected. Enable tutorial?]

At the same time, the mecha that Shirou had chosen instantly disintegrated into countless parts, enveloping his entire body.

"Activate".

Oh, it's a virtual mech battle game. I often see it in science fiction novels, but this is the first time I've played it in real life.

Shirou immediately became interested and excitedly followed the beginner's tutorial to operate the device.

The operation of mechs is not complicated. In fact, apart from some unique skills that come with mechs, the fighting style is no different from that in reality.

Punching, kicking, and flying—these basic functions don't require any buttons; you can simply punch or kick normally.

The mechs' unique skills are triggered by mental energy; the stronger the mental energy, the greater the power.

Regardless, this isn't reality; it's a fighting game.

Its power and speed are all limited, and it cannot exceed the mecha's own specifications.

Normally, Shirou's punch could easily shatter a planet.

However, in the tutorial, no matter how hard you try, you can't create a shockwave with your fist.

[Tutorial complete. Do you want to start the game now?]

"Yes."

The next moment, a dense list of challenges appeared before Shirou's eyes.

"So many...! Were these people waiting for me to log into the game?"

Clearly, this is the kind of hatred that Lala has stirred up for herself.

Shirou selected the username at the top and chose to accept the challenge.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed from a starry sky to a majestic snow-capped mountain.

The opponent's mecha was entirely red, with flames burning around it, making it look extremely imposing and forming a stark contrast with Shirou's jet-black mecha.

"Are you Princess Lala's fiancé? I'm going to defeat you and win Princess Lala's heart."

"Stop talking nonsense and come over here quickly."
