Shirou's clones number 30 million

"I think everyone should have some." Shirou Hashiba paused, then said with a smile, "Recruiting will have to wait until after the Star Festival ends. In the meantime, no one will come knocking. When you go up to give your speech later, please give our Yorozuya a little plug."

"Wait a minute! I haven't agreed yet, have I? How come it sounds like it's already decided that it's me?"

"Then...should we draw lots again?"

"Okay! Let's try again."

Inside the Yorozuya, besides Hakutaku and Hashiba, there were only the Yuri and Tensho sisters.

Lilia, being a child, naturally couldn't possibly give a speech on stage.

So, although it's called a lottery, the result was actually predetermined.

Once again, Tianxiang Youli carefully took out the short slip of paper. When she saw the red dot below it, her expression instantly turned disappointed.

"How did you lose again?"

"Well... you were the first one to draw, so you won't accuse us of cheating now, right?" Shirou patted her on the shoulder. "Go inside and change your clothes, the performance outfits have been prepared for a while."

"Wait a minute, I think we could gather the branch employees as well. Maybe some of them enjoy giving speeches on stage?"

"Stop struggling, go change your clothes. Calling staff from the branch is too late."

To be honest, there's no way there wouldn't be staff at the branch stores.

After Yorozuya expanded to many worlds, Shirou Hashiba's shadow clones were simply not enough, so he began to learn to be flexible. Wherever his shadow clones went, they would recruit employees from the local area.

"If we had three to five days, we might be able to gather the staff from the branches as well, but the Star Martial Festival starts in less than half an hour."

"How about we stop time in the entire world first, and then come back after we've recruited someone?"

"Don't say such childish things. Do you think it's appropriate to make such a big fuss over such a trivial matter?"

"Is it possible to not refute it at all?"

"Go change your clothes quickly, or it will be too late."

"Ugh..."

Tianxiang Youli picked up a cardboard box containing performance costumes and walked slowly towards the inner room.

After she left, Shirou Hashiba asked in a low voice:

"Bai Ze, actually, we could ask Misaki Shokuhou or Kurumi Tokisaki for help. They're both used to giving speeches. They can improvise even without a prepared speech."

Why didn't you say so just now?

"They're not part of our Yorozuya after all. Asking them for help is only a last resort. We'll only do this if she really refuses."

"Don't worry, although she's very reluctant, she'll definitely do her best once she's on stage."

Shirou Shirazawa glanced towards the inner room, then moved closer to Shirou Hashiba and said again:

"By the way, why aren't you going up on stage? I remember you used to be a wedding emcee, didn't you?"

"how about you?"

"This is all because of what happened yesterday. If I went on stage to give a speech and so many eyes were on me, I might have been recognized."

"Serves you right!"

"Haha...you still haven't told me your reason."

"I think that audiences prefer watching a pretty girl give a speech to men. Also, her presence on stage better represents the overall image of our Yorozuya."

"If that's the kind of thing you're going to say, you might as well just hire a spokesperson."

"Let's wait until a suitable candidate comes along. The Yorozuya is going to keep operating for a hundred years, a thousand years... but human lifespans aren't that long, so it's not appropriate to keep changing spokespeople, is it?"

During the chat, Tianxiang Youli came out after changing into her performance costume.

Perhaps to match her performance outfit, she let her hair down, which she usually wore in a ponytail.

Because of the high heels, her figure appeared taller and more slender than usual.

Although it is a long dress, the skirt has a special design, which is a semi-floating fixed style, making it look very eye-catching and gorgeous.

"How about it?"

"It suits you perfectly, I'm almost reluctant to show it to anyone else."

"Thanks..."

Tianxiang Youli blushed and spun around, then noticed the speech draft on the table and became dejected.

"I want to make it clear in advance that if I mess things up later, you can't blame me."

"Don't worry, no one will blame you. And I believe you can do it."

"If you really believed me, you wouldn't have made me go on stage with a speech I wrote in two minutes."

"Haha... If there are any parts of the speech that don't flow smoothly when read aloud, you can try to say them in your own words."

"Wow! There are even grammatically incorrect sentences!"

"After all, it was a draft written in two minutes. But don't worry, you'll be fine."

Chapter 650 This is Prejudice

Chapter 651 This is prejudice

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Shuichi Kagaya stood on the field, holding a staff and looking completely bewildered.

At that moment, a semi-transparent screen rose in the sky, and Tianxiang Youli appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuri Tensho, representative of Yorozuya, and I'll be explaining the competition rules..."

I remember now!

Staring blankly at the sky, Shuichi Kagaya quickly came back to his senses.

Previously, at the invitation of Hyuga Hajime, he was threatened by his other personality, Kamukura Izuru, and joined a five-person team to come to the Academy City to participate in a fighting tournament called the Star Martial Festival.

Although it's called a fighting tournament, it's not a chaotic brawl where everyone rushes in and fights. Instead, it's a small-scale war that incorporates strategy and tactics.

This morning, Hajime Hinata and his five teammates went on stage to draw lots and were assigned the forest terrain. The competition rules were a capture-the-flag game, and whoever captured the flags represented by the opposing team's five teammates would win.

If your flag is stolen before you can capture the opponent's flag, you will lose.

I heard this is the simplest version of the game rules, and some people even got the boss battle. You set one person as the boss, and the first person to eliminate the opposing boss wins.

Compared to boss battles, capture the flag battles are indeed easier.

The flag will not move; it will remain in the enemy's own territory. The objective is clear, and there is not much room for maneuver.

As the word "Begin" rang out from the sky, Junko Enoshima suddenly kicked him from behind, saying sternly:

"What are you doing? Get moving!"

"Ah...oh."

Shuichi Kagaya quickly picked up his staff and began chanting incantations.

With each incantation uttered, a ray of light fell upon Kamizuki Izuru.

The reason for judging that it was the God Throne was because at this moment his eyes were full of red light and his face was full of bloodthirsty fighting spirit.

"Success! All three amplification spells that came with the artifact have been used up. What should I do next?"

"Is there any need to say more? Go and set up traps under the flag. After the senior god makes his move, defend the flag with your lives."

"it is good."

"If you were still alive when the flag was taken away, you should know what the consequences would be, right?"

Upon hearing Junko Enoshima's words, Shuichi Kagaya felt a chill run down his spine.

While running towards the flag, he secretly glanced at Kamikura Izuru, who was already charging towards the enemy's main camp.

According to this morning's strategy, all I need to do is choose a powerful artifact that can provide a boost to my teammates.

Logically speaking, my task is complete, and all that's left is to watch the show.

However, judging from Enoshima Junko's expression, she was clearly not joking.

That being said, when I watched the compilation of the ten worst women on TV before, I already thought that Aoki Kurenai's personality was already quite awful.

Unexpectedly, this Enoshima Junko is even more outrageous; she truly deserves to be ranked number one as the most wicked woman.

"Hai, you and Zhu Ge go over there together and pretend to be protecting the fake flag at all costs."

"We don't need to set up any traps on the surface, but we should bury more landmines underground, so that at least one person will be killed."

"It's a pity we didn't have enough time, otherwise we could have just put out dozens of identical flags as bait and used some sulfuric acid as a trap."

Upon hearing Enoshima Junko's smiling words, Kagaya Shuichi unconsciously sped up his digging.

At the same time, some questions arose in my mind.

How could she be sure the other party would fall for her trap?

With two flags, one side is surrounded by many traps, while the other side is empty. If the enemy sees through the scheme or sends troops to our side, we're doomed.

At that moment, Shuichi Kagaya inexplicably felt that his brain wasn't working properly.

At the same time, I unconsciously thought of Aoki Kurenai again.

If it were her instead of me participating in this competition, perhaps I would have achieved more?

This isn't the first time such an idea has come up, but reality is ultimately different from videos.

In the past, he had also tried to find Aoki Kurenai.

However, due to low initiative and insufficient connections, things always fizzled out.

About ten minutes later, three men with bulging veins around their eyes and frighteningly white pupils came over at an extremely fast speed, leaping back and forth among the tree branches.

"Hyuga clan joins in!"

Junko Enoshima stood confidently in front of Shuichi Kagaya, hands on her hips.

"You all have the same ability, which seems to be a kind of eye technique that enhances observation skills."

"At the beginning, you can only choose to unlock one of your abilities or choose one artifact."
