Shirou's clones number 30 million

Aside from major events like the destruction of humanity or the rule of a demon king, they usually just act as observers.

But Death is not a god; in truth, he is just a part of "humanity."

Therefore, going to that world to fight monsters, level up, increase strength, and acquire resources are all spontaneous human actions, and no gods will intervene.

For Shirou Sanzen, defeating the Demon King is the most important thing; everything else is irrelevant.

Chapter 524, Section 525: What is real and what is fake?

Another world?

Whether it's a young woman with cat ears or dog ears, or a burly young man carrying a greatsword and wearing armor, they all demonstrate that this is indeed the other world from a fantasy novel.

"Wow, amazing! Aizen-sensei...wait?"

Turning his head, he saw that Aizen, who had been beside him, had vanished without a trace, and even the door that had brought him there had disappeared without him noticing.

"Aizen-sensei? Where did you go?"

At that moment, a somewhat ethereal voice suddenly came from the sky above.

"I'm going to chat with some friends for a while. You can wander around the streets. I'll pick you up later."

As Aizen's voice faded, two golden coins fell from the sky.

Orihime Inoue instinctively caught the money and stared blankly at the sky.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the illusion effect on her body had disappeared, and many people were staring at her.

Was my outfit too strange?

That's true, this style of shihaka does look a bit strange in another world.

"According to fantasy novels, such gold coins should have considerable purchasing power."

Wandering aimlessly down the street, glancing back and forth at the otherworldly shops lining both sides.

She would go into and browse through every clothing store, food store, and fruit store she visited.

Although there wasn't anything I really wanted to buy, after browsing around for a while, I did learn how much it cost to buy two gold coins.

As she walked, she suddenly noticed a blonde girl about her age carving marks at the entrance of the alley.

Out of curiosity, I unconsciously stopped in my tracks.

When the girl turned around, their eyes met.

The girl looked at her in surprise, sized her up, and muttered to herself:

Is this someone cosplaying as the Grim Reaper?

It is said that after the "heroes" are summoned by the gods, they are all wearing the clothes they wore in their previous lives.

The girl in front of me was wearing a Shinigami outfit, the style and fabric of which were clearly not products of this world.

Based on this, it can be inferred that she must have just arrived in this world not long ago.

When did you arrive here?

"I just arrived, about ten minutes ago."

"I knew it! My name is Himiko. What's your name?"

"My name is Inoue Orihime."

"Huh...?"

Is this some kind of commitment to taking cosplay to the extreme?

As a modern person, although I don't like reading shonen manga, I have heard of some famous figures, so I naturally know the name Inoue Orihime.

"Alright then, I'll call you Inoue."

Himiko did not delve into the matter. She died at a young age, and everyone has a past they don't want to talk about.

"As a newcomer, you're quite lucky to have stumbled upon an event held by our Church of Light."

"This event focuses on treasure hunting and puzzle solving, and does not require fighting outside the city, so the danger level is zero."

"As long as you can find the token, you'll have a good start. Even if you can't defeat the Demon King, you can still live well in this world."

The Cult of Light, defeat the Demon King?

Orihime Inoue couldn't help but laugh out loud. This world really is quite similar to the content in fantasy novels.

It seems that quite a few modern people have been summoned here as heroes.

When does the event start? How long does it typically last?

If the time is short, then I might consider participating.

"Preparations are basically complete. We will officially begin in thirteen minutes." Himiko glanced down at the time displayed on her phone. "As for the duration of the event, it will last for three days."

"During this period, anyone who brings a token placed in the city by our Church of Light to the church headquarters can exchange it for points."

"And points can be exchanged for many treasures provided by the Church of Light, the most powerful of which is a jade pendant that can bring good luck to the wearer."

Inoue Orihime looked intrigued; it sounded quite interesting. As long as she could find the token, she could gain something.

"Excuse me, what is meant by 'token of love'?"

"Well... I can't tell you that," Himiko said with a light laugh. "The tokens have been scattered throughout the city, and the only clue is these marks."

"If you don't even know what the token is, how can you possibly find it? You should at least tell me what the token is! Is it a person, an object, a stone, or something else?"

"Deducing what the keepsake is is also part of this event. Imagine someone confidently bringing a keepsake to church, only to find out it's not a keepsake at all. Wouldn't that be quite interesting?"

Orihime Inoue was speechless. In that case, she, who was unfamiliar with this world, had no way of finding herself.

Or maybe I shouldn't participate.

Wait a minute, Aizen-sensei just brought me to this world not long ago, and now there's an event being held here. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

Could this be Aizen-sensei teaching him as well?

As a Grim Reaper, in addition to combat ability, one must also be good at using one's brain.

"I understand, I want to participate in the activity too."

"I'm glad you made that choice."

Himiko shifted her gaze to the mark behind her and said with a smile:

"By the way, the mark on my back is a fake mark to confuse people. The clues point directly to the real mark on the token. It was all arranged yesterday."

"Huh...? Can the markings that represent clues also be fake?"

"If what I said about the mark being fake, it's possible I was just lying to you."

"Huh...?"

Orihime Inoue looked completely bewildered; which statement should she believe?

"Then, I look forward to the moment when you come to the church to find me with the real token." Himiko smiled, waved, and turned to leave.

What is the token? Where should I start looking?

After Himiko left, Inoue Orihime kept thinking about this problem.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I still couldn't find an answer.

Before she knew it, a firework rising into the sky caught her attention.

What followed was a sound that resounded throughout the entire city.

"Hello everyone, I am Himiko, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Light. I'm sure you're all eagerly waiting for me."

"The rules of the event are the same as previously announced: anyone who brings a token to the church headquarters can exchange it for points..."

"Therefore, I hereby declare—the event begins!"

The next moment, cheers rose around Orihime Inoue, and people who had been strolling on the street rushed into the alleyways.

On every street, people were searching along the walls.

"It's so lively!"

Because of the lively atmosphere around her, Inoue Orihime also became excited.

I felt a little regretful that Tatsuki Arisawa didn't come.

"If Longgui were here too, I would work hard for her as well! If we don't find the token, or if we find too few, I'll go to the shop later and buy some jewelry or something as a gift for her."

"Speaking of which, what exactly is a token?"

Some people on the street were carrying stones with unusual shapes and running excitedly toward the church; others were carrying a plant that was growing remarkably well and shouting excitedly.

However, Inoue Orihime's intuition told her that the keepsake was not something that could be found in ordinary times.

Chapter 525, Section 526: Seemingly Enlightened, Actually Conservative

The tokens must be of a uniform design and bear the special symbols of the Church of Light.

Although I understand this principle, finding it is not an easy task.

As she walked along the street, Orihime Inoue unconsciously memorized the patterns that appeared from time to time and compared them in her mind.

But after much deliberation, he still came up with nothing.

What do these patterns and markings actually represent?

"They're flowers!"

The sudden sound behind her made Orihime Inoue turn her head involuntarily.

"Huh...?"

Ichigo's younger sister, Karin Kurosaki?

Although she had never been to the Kurosaki family, she knew a little about Ichigo Kurosaki's family because the color pages of the manga were so beautifully drawn, and she could recognize them at a glance.
