Shirou's clones number 30 million

The modern world, a fantastical otherworld, the future starry universe...

However, since the mission was originally stolen from Ristarte, Shirou naturally already had a target in mind.

Amidst a mountain of candidates, dozens of shadow clones each took a stack of documents and began selecting a specific person.

"My lord, I have found an extremely powerful person. Their initial attributes are all above one hundred, and they also have a special talent called combat intuition. However, their personality is irritable and easily angered."

"Give up! Even if someone like that goes to another world, after defeating the Demon King, he could very well become the new Demon King."

Shirou paused, then said without looking up:

"Besides, don't you know who I asked you to find?"

“I’m already looking. I just feel that it’s a rare opportunity to take advantage of other worlds, and it would be a shame to give it up.”

"That makes sense. Then let's find some more hero candidates with high attributes and good personalities and send them to the other world under my jurisdiction."

How many people should we select?

"Let's limit it to fifty. Try to make them from different worlds so as not to attract attention."

"You can rest assured that I'll handle things!"

Several tens of minutes later, one of the shadow clones suddenly shouted:

"found it!"

The next moment, all of Shirou, including the original Shirou, crowded around at the same time.

Ryuguin Seiya

Lv: 1

HP: 385 MP: 197

...

...

Personality: More cautious than you might imagine.

"That's right, it's him! Let's start summoning the hero now."

Inside the Summoning Chamber.

With a smooth incantation, the magic circle began to emit a golden light, and a young man appeared in the center of the circle.

"Greetings, Ryuguuin Seiya. This is the realm of the gods, and you are the hero I summoned, tasked with defeating the Demon King and saving the world."

As he spoke, Shirou appropriately exuded a certain air of authority to prove that what he said was true.

"Since you are a god, why don't you go and save the world yourself?" Ryuguuin Seiya asked in a deep voice.

"Unfortunately, that's not possible."

Shirou shook his head slightly and sighed:

"As a god, I also have my own troubles. Apart from summoning heroes, I can't do anything else."

"Can I refuse?" Ryuguin Seiya asked again.

"Of course you can, but are you sure you want to refuse?"

Shirou paused, looked at the panel in front of him, and said:

"Although you have no memory of the last time, the tragedy that happened should already be imprinted deep in your soul."

"That sentence on the attribute panel is a reminder from your past self to your present self."

Ryuguin Seiya seemed thoughtful, his face showing hesitation, and hesitantly asked:

"What happened in the past...?"

"Are you sure you want to know? Some things are better left unsaid."

Please tell me.

"Last time, you also saved the world as a hero. At that time, you had a good relationship with the princess of the kingdom in another world, and she became pregnant during your travels."

Shirou lowered his voice slightly and said again:

"But unfortunately, you did not succeed in saving the world."

"Because of your arrogant and haughty nature, you overlooked the fact that the Demon King could be resurrected... In the end, the princess died, and the child in her womb was also..."

As Shirou was speaking, Ryuguuin Seiya suddenly knelt on the ground in great pain, repeatedly pounding his head on the ground, seemingly in extreme agony.

"It seems that although you have lost the memory of the last time, the feelings from back then still remain in your soul."

"Continue."

"Your wife and children are dead, and you were also killed by the Demon King. The original difficulty of saving that world was B-level, but because the Demon King painted the entire world in his own color, the strength of the entire Demon King army has greatly increased, and the difficulty of saving the world has become SS-level."

"Where are we going this time?"

"No, the world we're going to this time is called [Gaiabrand], with a difficulty level of S. The world you failed in last time was called Ixfria, and its difficulty level is now SS."

"What is this? Not even a chance to start over?"

“If you can save [Gaiabrand], I can ask the Great Goddess for a chance to go to Ixfordia to make amends.”

At this point, Shirou smiled slightly.

"Furthermore, after saving the world, the gods will grant you one wish. Or perhaps you'll even be able to see your wife again."

“She’s already been killed by the Demon King…” Ryuguin Seiya murmured to himself.

"She has already been reincarnated. In fact, in this life she is still a woman and still single."

"I see."

Ryuguuin Seiya stood up and said very seriously:

"Although this is just your side of the story, I've decided to try believing you this once. I'll take on the mission to save the world!"

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

That's it.

Shirou wore a faint smile, his mind unconsciously thinking:

With my guidance, a cautious warrior could never be worse than one guided by Listan.

Or, it is certain that it will succeed!

Chapter 499 Live for Me From Now On

Chapter 499, Section 500: Live for Me From Now On

After making the decision, Ryuguuin Seiya began training in Shirou's house in the God Realm.

Apart from essential physiological needs like eating and drinking, I was constantly sweating profusely.

Thanks to this, Shirou could only create a shadow clone, responsible for delivering his meals and guiding him on the correct training methods.

That evening, when Shirou returned to his workplace, he found the girl whom Sakamoto Ryuta had entrusted to him still standing blankly on the street.

It didn't move at all; it just stood there, almost like a statue.

Although Ryuta Sakamoto failed to defeat the Demon King, or even kill the minor monsters in the Demon King's army, he died in a small accident shortly after leaving the starting village.

But having been entrusted with a task, Shirou naturally couldn't go back on his word.

With a slight thought, Shirou had already arrived behind the girl.

"Hey...it's so late, why aren't you home yet?"

"I have nowhere left to go back to."

Himiko looked sorrowful, her voice tinged with despair and confusion.

"I had just entered the house in the afternoon when my family kicked me out without saying a word."

“They said that place is no longer my home, and if I continue to stay there, it will only cause them trouble.”

What's the situation?

Shirou accessed his privileges and checked her home situation, then seemed to be deep in thought.

"I see... Because the company paid a lot of money, your family definitely won't let you off easily."

That's not surprising at all; after all, it's common sense in this world.

Being sent to participate in the Game of Thrillers is equivalent to signing a death warrant; your life and death are no longer in your own hands.

"In that case, is there anywhere else you'd like to go? I can give you a ride, or lend you some money."

"What is your purpose? My body?"

Himiko asked without looking up, her expression extremely indifferent, as if she would agree as long as Shirou affirmed it.

"Hmm... what if I said yes?"

How much are you willing to pay?

"So this is your personality? It's quite different from what I've observed."

Himiko's expression changed slightly, and she unconsciously took a step back.

"who are you?"

"You looked so lifeless just now, I thought you were fearless."

These words reminded Himiko of her predicament once again, and she fell silent.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, whoever you are or what your purpose is, I have nothing left anyway."

Upon noticing her glance at the tall buildings not far away, Shirou couldn't help but ask:

"You're going to jump from over there? As far as I know, the roof of that building is sealed off and there are plenty of security cameras."

"When you get close to the top floor, security will kick you out."

"By the way, with that desperate look on your face right now, you'll attract a lot of attention wherever you go."
