Shirou's clones number 30 million

"If there's anything you don't understand, ask later. Don't make a fuss in the meantime."

Emiya Shirou very cooperatively set up a barrier to prevent the staff who were tidying up the arena from seeing it.

After distributing the transformation rewards, Shirou Shiro, who had not yet left, chanted a spell and temporarily created a few stone tables and benches, and placed some peanuts, melon seeds and drinks on the tables.

"What are you doing? Why don't you just buy a watermelon and eat it?" Emiya Shirou looked at him speechlessly, at this person who never misses a chance to cause trouble.

"Um... I see everyone looks tired from standing. If you want to watch a long episode, it's more comfortable to sit down."

"Stop joking. Shouldn't you, as an outsider, step aside at a time like this?"

"Oh...? You actually said such distant things, you really hurt my feelings!"

"Come on... you just want to watch the show."

Chapter 679, Section 680: This is your illusion.

"here we go."

As Sanzen Kaishirou uttered these words, a phantom light screen appeared before everyone's eyes.

The story begins with a prologue before each group summons their Heroic Spirits. In an instant, everyone present realized that this was happening during the Fourth Holy Grail War.

The story progresses very quickly, with most of the Servants from the dock area making their appearance, revealing the distinct personalities of each Servant.

The Conqueror's magnanimity, the Hero King's unfathomable depths, King Arthur's beauty and nobility...

The Feast of the Three Kings, the Caster Campaign, the Death of Kenneth...

Although Kiritsugu Emiya has a lot of screen time, and even has personal flashback scenes later on, the concurrent timeline introduces the situation of each group in great detail.

Sakura Matou's desperate situation, Tokiomi Tohsaka's death, Kariya Matou's death, Aoi Tohsaka becoming a vegetable, and Irisviel's death.

Each person's ending scene will linger on the screen for two seconds.

The Fourth Holy Grail War ended with Kiritsugu Emiya using a Command Spell to force Artoria to destroy the Holy Grail, which ultimately caused a massive fire that destroyed everything around it, killing countless people and destroying buildings.

The only survivor, Kiritsugu Emiya, struggled with his already mangled body, panting as he searched for other survivors.

Noticing a disturbance in a certain spot, he immediately ran over and frantically dug.

The next moment, the scene changed from Kiritsugu Emiya's perspective to Shirou Emiya's perspective.

Immediately afterwards, the story accelerated.

Shirou was adopted by Kiritsugu and changed his surname to Emiya. The two lived together at the Emiya residence, and Fujimura Taiga often visited them.

Several years later, under the bright moonlight, Kiritsugu Emiya, whose life had reached its limit, sat in his courtyard and talked to Shirou Emiya about his childhood dream.

Because Shirou promised to carry on his dream, he left behind the words "Then I can rest easy" and died with a smile on his face.

Not long after, Shirou Emiya encountered a purple-haired girl wandering in the park, her eyes devoid of light, her heart seemingly lifeless.

Although at the time, Shirou Emiya had trained hard for many days and felt that he was strong enough to try and break into the Matou family, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation.

However, within the light screen, due to the third-party perspective, it became a serendipitous encounter.

To the unsuspecting onlookers, it appeared that Shirou Emiya had noticed something was wrong with her, which was why he secretly followed her and broke into the Matou residence at night. He then accidentally stumbled upon Zouken Matou's scandalous affair and, after a confrontation, forcibly killed him.

Because of Zouken Matou's death, Sakura Matou, although a victim herself, still suffered hostility from Tsuruno Matou and was expelled from the Matou family.

Afterwards, Sakura Matou, who had no home, was taken in by Shirou Emiya and began living in the Emiya family, with Taiga Fujimura as her guardian.

Of course, she is too young and has not yet reached the legal age to adopt a child.

So, although she was actually the one taking care of the two of them, the nominal guardian was Mr. Fujimura.

The story after that changed completely, losing its previous bloodshed and darkness and becoming very heartwarming.

As a caregiver, Fujimura Taiga goes to the Emiya family's house for meals every day, and she is also the main source of humor.

Emiya Shirou and Matou Sakura initially competed to cook breakfast every morning. For a time, they even had a competition to see who could get up earlier, forcing Shirou to get up at 3:30 in the morning.

That day, the two made a rule: each person would cook for one day, and housework would be split equally.

Sometimes, the two of them would visit the Fujimura Group under the guidance of Fujimura Taiga, and each time they would receive a lot of pocket money from the old man Fujimura.

Immediately afterwards, the scene on the screen jumped to several years later, after the Fifth Holy Grail War.

In addition to Shirou and Sakura, the Emiya family now includes Artoria, Illya, and Sakura's Servant Medusa.

Every day, other groups of Heroic Spirits would come to the Emiya family for a free meal, and sometimes all of them would come together.

Household chores are still split equally between Sakura and Shirou, but the person who cooks has changed from one person per day to Shirou Emiya doing all the cooking.

In addition, there are many scenes where Shirou Emiya spars with Artoria, is dragged by Illya to go shopping, and is called "brother" by Illya.

Finally, the images on the light screen stopped at an aquarium.

In the scene, Illya walks in front, holding Shirou Emiya's hand with one hand and excitedly pointing at the dolphins in the distance with the other, talking about the knowledge she just learned from TV. Shirou Emiya turns around and complains that Artoria actually thought of eating fish here. Sakura Matou walks at the back, her eyes full of envy for Illya.

Seeing Ilya's smiling face in the picture, Irisviel, who had been feeling a bit gloomy, instantly felt much better.

"Illya, aren't you the older sister? Why do you keep calling Shirou 'brother'?"

"Because Shirou is sometimes very similar to Kiritsugu, it gives me the feeling that he is the elder."

At this point, Illya glanced at Shirou Emiya and said with a mischievous grin:

"Moreover, I feel like Shirou really likes it when I call him 'brother'."

"That's your misconception."

Emiya Shirou quickly retorted, telling her that if she continued, her image would be completely ruined.

"Shirou, although I've never met you before, after what just happened, I feel like I know you very well." Irisviel looked at him with a smile. "If Shirou doesn't mind, could you call me 'Mom' like Illya does?"

"Sorry, I still can't quite bring myself to say it right now."

"It's okay, we already know each other now, let's get to know each other slowly. Shirou's cooking seems really delicious, and I happen to be quite confident in my cooking skills, we can have a cooking competition later."

"no problem."

"Then it's settled. If I win, I'll cook breakfast every morning from now on."

Were you waiting for me here?

Emiya Shirou paused for a moment, then quickly realized what he meant and said with a smile:

"No problem, but if I win, the housework will still be divided as before."

"That won't do. I'm your mother, after all. From now on, I'll be in charge of the housework."

"It seems the battle over housework is about to begin again."

"Let's start tomorrow, a three-way battle over housework."

At this point, Irisviel turned to look at Matou Sakura and smiled slightly:

"Sakura, I won't hold back."

Realizing that her words meant she could stay as before, Matou Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gently.

"Me too."

"Wait a moment!"

Rin Tohsaka suddenly ran over, stood in front of Sakura Matou, and interjected:

"I didn't know why Sakura lived in the Emiya family before. No matter which of you I asked, no one told me."

"Now that I know, I will definitely not let it go unchecked again."

"Since Sakura has been expelled from the Matou family, she will revert to the Tohsaka surname and live with us from now on."

“That won’t do.” Irisviel shook her head slightly and said firmly, “Sakura was abandoned by Mr. Tokiomi Tohsaka when she was very young and suffered a lot. She is no longer a child of the Tohsaka family.”

"That's because... Father didn't know the Matou family was such a horrific place. If he had known it was such a den of iniquity, he would never have sent Sakura away."

"That's just a hypothetical scenario. The reality is that because of him, Sakura suffered so much, and Mr. Matou Kariya died young."

Chapter 680, Section 681: Because I Like You So Much, I Forgive You

silence.

After a moment of silence, Rin Tohsaka found it hard to refute what her father had done.

Good intentions cannot change the malice of the outcome.

As a magician, she could understand her father's feelings and his thoughts.

But as an older sister, she couldn't forgive her father because of her younger sister's childhood experiences.

Fortunately, after meeting Shirou Emiya, her sister's situation improved; otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to forgive herself.

However, this also strengthened her resolve to find her sister, live with her, and make amends to her.

"Sakura is my sister; she has absolutely no relation to the Emiya family..."

Rin Tohsaka carefully considered her words as she spoke:

"Since she has no connection with the Matou family anymore, she will naturally become a member of the Tohsaka family again."

"Instead of arguing with me here, Rin, why don't you ask Sakura's opinion?" Irisviel looked at Matou Sakura and said very seriously, "Sakura, why don't you continue living at the Emiya residence as before?"

"Mm." Matou Sakura nodded slightly.

"no!"

Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but raise her voice a few decibels and protest loudly:

"Sakura, now that Daddy and Mommy have been brought back to life, even if you hate Daddy, do you hate Mommy too?"

"Shall we live together as a family again from now on?"

"I...have nothing to do with the Tohsaka family." Matou Sakura looked down at the ground and said softly, "Tohsaka-senpai, please don't talk about going back or anything like that. It's bothering me."

"Don't do this, Sakura! I'm your older sister, not some Tohsaka-senpai. It was my fault before. I thought you were doing well at the Matou family's place. I never imagined it was such a den of demons."

Rin Tohsaka was so excited that she even forgot to uphold the Tohsaka family precepts.
