Shirou's clones number 30 million

Noticing that both of them were staring at him, Yushiro thought for a moment and said:

"Then I'll focus on shaping. Snow can be shaped into a snowman, and ice can be shaped into an ice sculpture. The more delicate and solid the ice is, the harder it is to shape."

"In this regard, whether it's ice or snow, the potential is very high."

"Alright, it's decided then." Tianlong Renlang smiled. "It's getting late, I should head back now. Take whatever you like here."

"I'll take a piece of gold..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mafishiro suddenly sighed and changed his words:

"Forget it, even a small amount of gold is a lot of money to me. If I take it back, it will be hard to explain. If people think I'm a thief who stole from the owner's house, then I'm finished."

"I don't have anything to take either." Yushirou nodded slightly.

"In that case... let's stop here for today."

At this point, Tianlong Renlang suddenly paused and stretched out his right fist.

"Don't die! You guys!"

The two Shirous were slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening, and with a smile, they extended their fists and bumped them together.

"Don't worry, we will all live on."

……

Once we left the space shrouded in white mist, time began to flow again.

The next moment, Ryunosuke Uryuu's watermelon knife suddenly slashed down.

Even though Shirou was mentally prepared, he was still a little taken aback.

Fortunately, elementalization is an instinct for Logia-type Devil Fruit users, and it can be triggered passively even without their conscious awareness.

Without seawater, sea stone, or Armament Haki, it's impossible to touch the ethereal snow.

The sharp watermelon knife cleaved down on his head, splitting Shiro in two.

The snow was like tofu, easily split in two without any hindrance.

The feel of the tofu being cut made Ryunosuke Amusei pause for a moment. Before he could react, he was punched and sent flying backward.

'As expected of someone who trained in the pirate world for three years, even though I haven't mastered a single one of the Navy's Six Powers, I'm still ridiculously strong.'

With such physical abilities, even if he were to exchange blows with Kirei Kotomine, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

Such a thought flashed through Shirou's mind.

With the thought of pressing the enemy to the bitter end, Shirou suddenly rushed towards Ryunosuke Amuse, who was flying backward into the house. He pressed his hand against Ryunosuke's neck, and with a slight thought, snowflakes appeared out of thin air, enveloping Ryunosuke completely.

Buried in the snow, Ryunosuke Amusei's consciousness gradually became blurred.

He tried to resist, but Shirou's small hands were like steel, gripping his neck tightly.

As time went by, Ryunosuke Uryu's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he gradually lost the breath of life.

Ten seconds later, the snowflakes had disappeared, leaving only a lifelike human-shaped ice sculpture in place.

"Won."

Shirou breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the family of three who were tied up with ropes not far away. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a pain on the back of his hand.

Looking down, I noticed a strange pattern on the back of my left hand.

"The Command Seals have indeed arrived!"

Ryunosuke Uryu was chosen to participate in the Holy Grail War simply because they couldn't find anyone else to fill the quota.

Now that there is a more suitable candidate like myself, the Command Seals are naturally offered to me.

Next, naturally, is to summon Servants.

Of course, this won't work.

Shirou bypassed the ice sculptures on the ground and quickly ran to the family of three, untying their ropes one by one.

"Are you all alright? Looks like I arrived just in time."

"Who...who are you? How can you freeze people into popsicles?"

The couple looked terrified and dared not look at Shirou's face.

On the contrary, a child about the same age as Shirou was looking at him with longing eyes.

"That's the only way, I'm sorry."

Shirou extended his right index finger and activated a hint magic spell.

The next moment, the expressions of the family of three became dazed.

A few seconds later, the three gradually came to their senses and stared blankly at the humanoid ice sculpture, as if Shirou, who was so close, was completely invisible.

"I never expected that Kamen Rider would come to our rescue..."

"That's great, honey! So there really is a Kamen Rider in the world. Son, let's go thank Kamen Rider together sometime."

Even after Shirou left, the three of them continued to say similar things.

In their hearts, the person who saved them was the Kamen Rider who happened to be passing by.

Stepping out of the living room, Shirou glanced back, shook his head with a smile, and muttered:

"What Kamen Rider? I told them to come up with a reasonable explanation themselves, but to my surprise, the whole family thought of Kamen Rider without prior agreement."

"These days, there are so many people suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."

Chapter 5 Borrowing a Magic Array

Section 5, Chapter 5: Borrowing a Magic Array

So, the next step is to summon Servants.

The key command spells are in hand; the remaining magic circles are easy to handle—gem solution, mercury, and blood will all work.

"This is so difficult. I'm penniless right now. Even if I wanted to go to a gold shop to exchange gold for money, I'm only seven years old. I'd definitely be mistaken for a little devil who stole money from home and chased away, wouldn't I?"

"Without money, you can't get fresh animal blood. You can't use your own blood, can you? That's not enough either."

Shirou walked slowly down the street for more than ten steps, a thought gradually rising in his mind.

Speaking of which, the boots that Mafia Shirou stole from Nero are still in the White Mist Dimension. In order to avoid being punished by Nero as a thief, he must summon a Servant as soon as possible, preferably within two or three hours.

The time is too short, which makes things a little difficult.

Since that's the case, why not borrow someone else's summoning circle?

Although I don't know if the Matou family has summoned any Servants, I can easily infiltrate their territory and use their magic circle to summon my own Servant.

Moreover, it's a good opportunity to test whether ordinary magicians have any way to deal with their elemental transformation.

Having trained for three years in the world of One Piece, defeating a decaying old bug shouldn't be a problem.

……

Inside the dimly lit basement of the Matou family home.

"You should remember the summoning incantation by now, right?"

"Ah."

“Okay, but you must do this while chanting the incantation…”

Before he could finish speaking, Zouken Matou suddenly stopped, frowning as he looked at the stairs to the side.

There, a white, cold draft was surging towards this place.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of white snow appeared in the basement.

Then came the sound of footsteps deliberately made by someone.

"Who is it? How dare they trespass here? Do they think the Matou family is extinct?"

As Zouken Matou tentatively called out, countless insects swarmed in from all directions, rushing toward the stairwell above.

However, the swarm appears to have triggered an avalanche, with more snow pouring out from above and instantly covering the swarm.

Insects kept appearing from all directions, only to be buried and frozen to death by the snow.

In the blink of an eye, the basement was reduced to a vast expanse of white.

"Who exactly are you, performing magic on this scale?"

The footsteps slowed down, and a red-haired toddler appeared before them.

As Shirou walked down the stairs, he kept glancing back and forth between Zouken Matou and Kariya Matou.

"It seems your insects can't withstand low temperatures."

Before coming to the Matou family, Shirou had considered freezing the insects to death with ice.

However, there is a ten-second interval between snow turning into ice, and these ten seconds can become a fatal weakness in battle.

Therefore, his initial plan was to use elemental transformation to escape immediately if things went wrong.

He climbed over the wall into the Matou family's house, but before he could take two steps, he was spotted by insects.

As Shirou hesitated about whether to run away immediately, he suddenly realized that the insect had been frozen to death by the snow he had casually created.

That way, there's no need to run anymore.

Ultimately, it's because the pirate world has been focusing on developing low-temperature abilities, making the snow they create increasingly colder, but they've never measured exactly how cold it is, so they don't even have a reference point.

However, judging from the current situation, the temperature is at least minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.

"Whose child are you? You're so young, yet you can use such powerful magic."

"Are these your last words?"

"Wait! What brings you here? Judging by your age, you wouldn't happen to be related to that kid, would you? I can give her to you."

Looking at Zouken Matou a few meters away, Shirou shook his head slightly:

"You said the same thing five years ago, or rather, five years from now. Can't you come up with something new?"

Five years later, he recruited Rin and Kirei as helpers to come to the Matou family to rescue Sakura. At that time, Zouken Hitou also said something similar.
