Shirou's clones number 30 million

"In that case, let's test her resolve a little. If she's determined and won't regret it, then we'll help her. Otherwise, we'll ignore her."

"What does Shirou plan to do?" Yuri Tensho asked instinctively.

"Let's wait for her to come to us. If she really cares, she'll definitely find a way to come to us."

At this point, Shirou Shirazawa changed the subject and asked with a smile:

"Speaking of which, we still have a lot of fruit left. Shall we continue delivering it?"

"Okay, let's continue."

……

"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

The next morning, Shirou Shizawa went to the Yorozuya branch in Gakusen City to help out again, and also to watch the excitement.

Just as I opened the shop door, I suddenly heard a shout from outside.

Of course, that wasn't referring to himself.

I walked to the door and looked out onto the street.

What comes into view is a man wearing a green mandarin jacket and a flying saucer hat, with his hands behind his back.

Before him stood a girl of about seven or eight years old, bowing deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

Shirou looked back and forth between the two in surprise, and after a few seconds, he suddenly realized what was going on.

Isn't that Yasaka? Wearing a UFO hat, I almost didn't recognize him.

I saw that little girl in Ryan's memory yesterday. She seems to be one of his 41 children. Her name is Lina, and she is 8 years old.

"Yasaka, what are you doing? What's with that outfit?"

"I'm cosplaying as Ma Jianxing."

"WTF?"

"Ma Jianxing, a supporting character in The Mightiest Disciple. I read a bit of the manga before bed last night. My goal was originally the protagonist, Kenichi Shirahama, but for some reason, I dreamt about Ma Jianxing last night."

"Oh, I was just having a bad dream."

Well... that's about it.

Shirou Yasaka smiled, then turned his gaze back to Lina, and said thoughtfully:

"As for her, she suddenly blocked my way and said she wanted to become my disciple, which puzzled me a lot."

It turned out to be the case.

Shirou Hakuzawa seemed to be deep in thought; it seemed that Ryan's strict education plan for his children had already begun.

Before he could ask, Lina suddenly bowed again and said loudly:

"Please accept me as your disciple, Master."

"Why do you want to become my disciple?" Yasaka Shirou asked speechlessly. "In my memory, I don't recall ever displaying any extraordinary power, do I?"

"Your dance performance on the street just now was amazing, it had an indescribable beauty, you're sure to make a lot of money!"

"So it was all about making money? You're so young, making money shouldn't be anything to you, right?"

Lina clenched her fists, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said loudly again:

"No! I must make a lot of money!"

"My father has gone bankrupt in his quest for revenge. My mothers and other siblings have all left one after another, leaving me all alone with my father."

“My father was drinking heavily last night and was clearly unable to cope with that blow.”

"So, until my father gets back on his feet, I'll be the only one who can support the family."

Shirou Yasaka and Shirou Hakusawa exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing:

What a good child! There's no need to use such strict methods to educate a child like this, is there?

It's easy to imagine that Ryan treated the other children the same way.

Each person has a shadow clone, distributed across different cities and worlds. He stays at home drinking and makes his children earn money to support the family.

As for the main character, he is currently somewhere in the war city, playing games with his 28 wives.

What scum of humanity!

"I was just stretching my muscles a bit, I wasn't performing." Shirou Yasaka thought for a moment and emphasized again, "Besides, I wasn't using dance techniques, I was using martial arts."

"Whatever it is, it looks really beautiful, and every movement has a unique beauty."

Lina looked at Yasaka Shirou with sparkling eyes and said very seriously:

“I’m only 8 years old this year. If I go to work, I’m sure no place will hire me.”

"But if I learn your martial arts, even if I'm only 8 years old, I can make money by performing on the streets."

"Besides making money, your martial arts should also be useful for self-defense, right?"

“My father is already a disabled person, so I have to support the family.”

"So please accept me as your apprentice, Master!"

They're quite clever.

Shirou Shiro chuckled to himself for a moment, then gestured with his eyes:

Take her in, Yasaka.

Yasaka Shirou shook his head repeatedly and replied in words:

"I'm only 17 years old, and suddenly there's an 8-year-old daughter in my family. How is this proper?"

'Besides, if we accept her, wouldn't Ryan's efforts be wasted?'

"Besides, I don't live here, so it would be inconvenient for me to take her in."

"How about we let her work at your Yorozuya?"

"You know perfectly well that this is just a temporary branch." Shirou Hakusawa responded telepathically as well, "And what I discussed with Ryan before was that I would take in his 13-year-old son."

'13 is a bit better; he can manage to help out and do a lot of work. But 8 is too young…'

Chapter 666 Is this the difficult part?

Chapter 666 (Section 667): Is this the difficult part?

The two began to pass the buck to each other by reading aloud.

In Lina's eyes, the two suddenly found themselves in a strange state of staring at each other.

"So, it really didn't work?" Lina asked in a low voice, her face showing disappointment.

Shirou Shiro glanced at her and continued to communicate with Yasaka telepathically:

"Get her away from me right now! The two of you are interfering with my business."

'In that case, why don't you just take her back? Changing her age from 13 to 8 isn't so bad, is it?'

'That's easy for you to say...'

Upon noticing Shirou Shiro standing motionless at the door, Yuri Tensho, who was organizing the task board inside the house, walked over in surprise.

"What's wrong? Shirou, why are you suddenly spacing out?"

"You've come at the perfect time!" Yasaka Shirou said quickly. "This little guy wants to become my apprentice and then earn money to support his family, but I can't even take care of the one at home. If another one comes along, I won't know how to explain it when my parents come back from their trip."

Little guy, earning money to support the family?

These two keywords sparked a guess in Yuri Tensho's mind, and he quickly looked at Shirou Shiro.

"Well... it's just what you think."

Shirou Shirawa nodded slightly, then said:

"This young lady said that her father went bankrupt and became penniless, drinking heavily at home all day. So, she has to earn money to support her family on her own."

"Why...?"

Has it already started?

Yuri Tensho paused slightly, then leaned close to Shirou Shirazawa's ear and whispered:

So, this is the difficult part now?

Shirou Shiro chuckled to himself. Indeed, as planned, when Ryan's son came to the Yorozuya for his interview, they would first give him a hard time.

"No. The one I booked before was my 13-year-old son, who was interviewing at the Yorozuya in our world, not this one."

"I see. Isn't that good? She's a little older than Lilia, so they should be able to play together."

"This is to recruit employees, not to recruit playmates."

"Just think of it as hiring a Shizuka."

"So, which of us is Nobita?"

"Of course it's you."

"So, we're only missing Gian and Suneo to complete the team."

Shirou Hakuzawa chuckled softly and said in a low voice:

"This is just a temporary stop. We'll be heading back in a few days. We can't just leave her here, can we?"

"We can take her and her father with us. Anyway, her father is just an alcoholic who lives a solitary life, so it doesn't matter where they go."

That makes sense.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Yasaka Shirou breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Lina and said seriously:

“I don’t take on apprentices, but he’s still hiring. If you want to earn money to support your family, you can work for him.”

Lina looked back and forth between the two of them and whispered:

"Employing child labor is illegal."

Shirou Shirazawa couldn't help but exclaim. Despite being born in a world of swords and magic, he had such legal knowledge. No wonder he was born into a noble family.
