Shirou's clones number 30 million

"I never imagined that the King of Great Britain, hundreds of years later, would possess beauty comparable to mine. In that case, you must be my descendant."

Artoria looked at the person in the hall with curiosity. The person looked exactly like her, but was wearing a red dress.

"you are?"

"I am Nero Claudius, the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire," Nero said proudly, his head held high.

"Huh...? You're the infamous tyrant Nero? You're actually a woman!"

Artoria looked surprised, and unconsciously thought to herself:

Could she really be my ancestor?

No! That's impossible no matter how you look at it.

“Aren’t you the same?” Nero looked at Artoria with a smile, and when he noticed a slight change in her expression, he didn’t continue.

Before she arrived, Roma Shiro had reminded her that the fact that King Arthur was a woman was a matter of confidentiality.

"Then, I have come to assist you on behalf of Rome!"

How many people did you bring?

A sense of curiosity arose in Artoria's heart. She wondered how different the Roman army of Nero's time was from the current one.

Seriously, this guy doesn't look like a tyrant at all. How did the legend turn him into that?

"It's just me and Wang Fu, but that's enough. Because I am Rome."

So he was a narcissist who didn't like listening to others; no wonder he was recorded in history as a tyrant.

"Thank you for coming to help. This is the Kingdom of Great Britain, more than four hundred years after your time. The history of these four hundred years should be of great help to you."

"Oh...! Then I won't stand on ceremony. Although I already know I have a reputation as a tyrant, I suppose it's not all bad, is it?"

"This... Merlin, I'm leaving him to you."

"no problem."

Merlin looked Nero up and down, full of admiration.

"Who would have thought that a Roman emperor from hundreds of years ago would look exactly like King Arthur? It's hard to believe that they weren't related by blood."

While the group was talking, the two Shirous were also exchanging words in secret.

Do you ever feel like you're looking in a mirror?

"Of course! Two identical girls, both queens, and both accompanied by a Shirou."

[Nero's sudden departure from Rome, is that alright? Things aren't exactly peaceful where you are either.]

'No problem, I've got my shadow clones to handle it.'

[She really believes you, and isn't afraid you'll use your transformation magic to steal the country.]

"We've been married for over a month, the whole country is mine now, what else is there to steal?"

[Too.]

When are you getting married?

[Don't even think about it in the short term; after all, King Arthur was a man.]

"Adding a man to a man is actually quite good; it's a pioneering and unprecedented move."

[Don't be ridiculous. Instead of announcing her marriage to a man, we should wait until she reveals her female identity.]

'Then you'll have to wait a while, and when that day truly comes, the entire Knights of the Round Table will be your rivals in love.'

[Heh... I've already gained the upper hand; they can't beat me. Even if the whole country is my rival, what does it matter?]

Chapter 479 Why am I surprised?

Chapter 479, Section 480: Why am I surprised?

"This city of Camelot is much more prosperous than I imagined."

While making small talk, Rin Tohsaka secretly observed Saber, who was wearing a hood, to the side.

Two days ago, I was invited by Shirou Emiya to visit a parallel world.

She was bewildered by this, but kept asking questions and soon figured out the general situation.

Although I find the idea of ​​parallel worlds quite incredible, I figured it wouldn't hurt to go and experience it, even if I felt like I'd been tricked.

After seeing the goblins, slimes, elves, ninjas, and other people from clearly different worlds, as well as Saber's strange behavior, she finally realized that this really was Camelot, a parallel world.

"Shirou, could you repeat your experiences in this world?" Saber suddenly asked.

"of course can."

Without hesitation, Emiya Shirou replied:

"The version of me in this world, before the Fifth Holy Grail War, is not much different from the version of us in this world."

"But he was weaker than me, and he also lacked intelligence and mental fortitude, which led to his death alongside Saber in the Holy Grail War."

When he opened his eyes again, he had traveled through time and space to the era of 1,500 years ago, and stood in front of the dying King Arthur, looking at him face to face.

"Subsequently, due to Avalon, and perhaps also the influence of the contract between Master and Servant, Saber's injuries gradually healed, and she did not die."

"After that, I, in this timeline, returned to Camelot with Saber."

"The two of them rebuilt Camelot together and summoned the Knights of the Round Table again... Then, a gate to other worlds suddenly appeared outside Camelot."

Saber fell silent, though she had many questions, such as: How to rebuild the Knights of the Round Table? How to solve the problem of insufficient food production in the kingdom?

In the end, she said nothing, but silently followed behind the group, heading towards the palace without uttering a word.

Soon after, the group was summoned by Artoria.

"Rin! Shirou? Are you from a parallel world?"

Artoria's face lit up with joy; she hadn't expected to run into these familiar faces again.

"That's right, the progress of our world is similar to what you know, except that the Holy Grail War has been postponed indefinitely."

As she spoke, Rin Tohsaka unconsciously glanced at Shirou, the Kingdom's strategist, in the distance.

"Are you the Emiya Shirou who sought help from other worlds? You're much taller than Shirou from our world."

The strategist, Shiro, nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"In this situation, I don't know whether to say it's our first meeting or it's been a long time. Anyway, I'm very grateful for your generous help this time."

"Please enjoy your time in Camelot for the foreseeable future."

"By the way, where's me on your side?" Rin Tohsaka asked curiously.

“It’s a pity that I came here after I died. As for the future, there’s no going back.” Strategist Shirou paused and sighed. “And the Rin I knew, I will never see again.”

"So, you plan to stay and live in this era?"

Is there a problem?

"nothing."

Rin Tohsaka glanced impassively at Artoria on the throne and the many Knights of the Round Table beside her, thinking to herself:

I wonder what Saber is feeling right now? She must be feeling terrible.

After all, something that one cannot obtain even in dreams, another version of oneself has already achieved.

"How should I address you, King Arthur?"

"Just call me Artoria."

Artoria, seated on her throne, glanced around at Shirou Emiya and the others, her gaze lingering on Saber, who was wearing a hood, and hesitated before speaking:

"Could you... stay for a bit? I have a lot to tell you."

As someone who was also in her shoes, she naturally understood the other person's feelings at that moment.

Compared to her own life, where her dreams have been realized and she is happy every day, she is still struggling in the mire.

Rin told me that the Holy Grail War in that world was postponed indefinitely, which meant that she chose to stay and live in that world.

Having not experienced the same thing, Artoria naturally cannot say that her choice was wrong.

But knowing herself as she did, Artoria must have often condemned herself in her heart.

“Hmm.” Saber, wearing a hood, nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before saying, “The Knights of the Round Table are almost all new faces.”

Artoria's eyes dimmed slightly as she whispered:

"In the Battle of Kamchu, far too many knights perished. Gawain, Kai, Lanmarok... most of the knights who participated in the battle were killed in action."

"The current Knights Order was selected by Shirou and me, and only one-tenth of them are members left over from the previous Knights of the Round Table."

“I see…” Saber remained silent, a deep sense of self-reproach rising within her once more, and her desire to have a detailed conversation with her other self grew stronger.

“You have done very well. I thought the kingdom was beyond saving, but it turns out that it is not.”

“If it were just me alone, as you said, the kingdom would have been impossible to save.” Artoria smiled and said with a hint of pride, “But thanks to Shirou, our strategist, everything was able to start anew.”

“I… will wait for you outside the palace.”

Saber had intended to say "bedroom," but then suddenly realized that to this Camelot, she was merely an outsider.

"I might have to wait a while. Why don't you go to your bedroom and wait for me? The location is the same as before, just with some more flowers. I hope you'll like it."

flowers?

Saber paused slightly, and unconsciously thought to herself:

The fact that they have the leisure to decorate palaces suggests that the kingdom is in a very good state.

After talking with her in detail, I'll go and explore the towns outside of Camelot as a woman.

Although it's another country of their own, the experience was exactly the same a few months ago, making it very difficult for Sabbet to completely treat this place as another unrelated country.

……

Meanwhile, with the unanimous permission of the strategist and King Arthur, Tristan immediately took Diluc to wander around Camelot.

"There are elves!"
