Shirou's clones number 30 million

"If I had known what was happening there, if I had known your situation, I would have come to save you the moment no matter who tried to stop me, absolutely, absolutely!"

"...I'm sorry, Tohsaka-senpai." Matou Sakura's expression remained unchanged, still looking at the ground, as if she were talking to a stranger.

At that moment, Rin Tohsaka suddenly remembered the events of the past few years.

Every time I tried to talk to Sakura, I was met with the same dismissive tone, and we never had a deep conversation.

After learning that she used to live in the Emiya family, he visited her many times, but never had the chance to speak to her alone.

Every time it seemed like they were about to be alone together, she would find an opportunity to leave or change the subject.

Clearly, she was deliberately avoiding him.

"Sakura...! I..."

At that moment, Tokiomi Tohsaka suddenly spoke:

"That's enough, Rin. Since Sakura doesn't want to come back, then let it be. We'll find a chance to make it up to her elsewhere in the future."

“Father, I am now the head of the Tohsaka family. You are just a dead ghost who has been resurrected and has no official registration.”

Although she understood his feelings and knew that his suggestion was very reasonable, Rin Tohsaka couldn't help but feel angry.

"Dad, Mom, just like I said before, shouldn't the most important thing you do right now be to apologize to Sakura?"

"I admit my judgment was somewhat flawed, but Sakura has now become a pretty good magician. The process was winding, but the result isn't too bad, in the world of magic..."

"Shut up!"

Matou Kariya clenched her fists, interrupting Tohsaka Tokiomi, and glared at him angrily:

"Tokiomi, apologizing after doing something wrong is the most basic etiquette of a human being."

"If you think you've done nothing wrong, then you're more disgusting than a maggot in the toilet."

"I know I have no right to say such things. I am a scumbag for personally turning Aoi into that state."

"I made a promise but failed to keep it. I was just talking big. I'm a complete waste."

"But you can't even compare to a piece of trash like me, a scumbag!"

As he spoke, Tohsaka Aoi walked silently to Matou Sakura's side, hesitated for two seconds, gently hugged her, and kept saying "I'm sorry".

Seeing this, Tokiomi Tohsaka hesitated for a long time, then sighed softly, walked to Sakura Matou, bowed deeply, and said:

"I'm sorry... Please come back, Sakura."

At this moment, although Matou Sakura still maintained an indifferent expression on her face, tears inexplicably streamed down her face. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

Emiya Shirou noticed that she slightly parted her lips but made no sound. Judging from her lip movements, she seemed to be silently reciting the word "senpai".

"Sakura, it's up to you. If you decide to go back to the Tohsaka family, that's fine too. You can always come visit the Emiya family often."

"If you stay, things will be the same as before. Although there are now Mr. Kiritsugu and Ms. Irene in the house, you just saw their personalities, so you should get to know them quickly."

Upon hearing this, Sakura Matou's expression changed slightly, and she immediately made a decision, saying softly:

"I'm sorry, Mom, I have nothing to do with the Tohsaka family anymore."

It's too late. If this had been said ten years ago, I probably would have been very happy to go back.

But now, if I were to return to the Tohsaka family, wouldn't the past ten years feel like a complete nightmare?

Aside from the nightmares of the first few years, everything else was good.

"Seniors, may I continue to trouble you in the future?"

“No problem!” Irisviel said eagerly. “If Sakura doesn’t mind, you can call me Mom. But you can’t call me Mom like Shirou does, okay? It makes me feel like I’ve aged more than ten years instantly.”

Emiya Shirou was speechless. He hadn't expected to be criticized for his verbal tic, even though he had been embarrassed for two seconds before saying it.

"I won't hold back in tomorrow's chores battle."

“Me too!” Matou Sakura smiled. “Among the equipment I’m wearing now are some items that increase my hands-on and learning abilities. I’ve been secretly practicing these past few days, and my cooking skills have improved a lot.”

Seeing the smile on her face, Rin Tohsaka was taken aback. She only smiled when talking to Shirou Emiya. Was that guy really that popular?

"Wait! I can't accept this."

"Rin, respect Sakura's decision." Emiya Shirou looked at her quietly, pondered for two seconds, and sighed, "Although it may sound a bit harsh, things are not ten years ago anymore. To be honest, your relationship is just that of ordinary acquaintances."

"We'll chat for a bit when we meet, and if we greet each other, we'll exchange a few words out of politeness, but that's all."

"Before today, didn't you never even consider bringing her back?"

This guy is so annoying!

I used to think he was very handsome, but I was really blind.

"Don't think that just because you saved Sakura, you can do whatever you want to her. You were just lucky to run into Sakura at that time. If I had taken action, the result would have been the same."

"Back then, you couldn't beat Zouken Matou, could you? No, even now, you might not be able to beat him back then."

"Damn it! Are you going to stick with me today? Preventing other people's families from reuniting is not a righteous act."

"Justice is relative. Where in the world is there absolute justice? In my opinion, you are nothing more than a bully who forces someone to be his sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shirou Emiya noticed tears welling up in her eyes and thought to himself:

Oh no! Did I go too far?

"Rin, as the saying goes, home is where the heart is. Where Sakura lives depends on where she feels at ease; there's no need to force it."

"Rome wasn't built in a day, and repairing a broken mirror isn't something that can be done in an instant."

"Are you expecting her to have a good cry, then happily go home with you and completely forget about the past? Do you think that's realistic?"

"Damn it... How did you know that's what I was thinking? Mind reading!" Rin Tohsaka was instantly enraged.

"Do I even need mind reading? I could guess it. Rin, you're so easy to understand."

"You bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

"You are no match for me, Rin."

"Then you should give in to me a little."

Irisviel looked back and forth among the group, shook her head slightly, and said to her husband beside her:

"Oh my... Shirou is really popular. It seems like life won't be boring from now on, Kiritsugu."

"I'm sorry, Alice."

"It's okay, I forgive you."

Aren't you going to ask me what I'm apologizing for?

"Is it because of Maiya, or Illya, or Shirou? Whatever the reason, I really liked the ending I just saw, so I forgive you."

"Thank you. I didn't want Shirou to follow in my footsteps, so I only taught him projection magic and enhancement magic. I never expected that Shirou would be able to obtain my magic crest and surpass me in every way."

That year, at Kiritsugu Emiya's funeral, Shirou Emiya fell into a coma. When he woke up again, he had acquired the memories of Shirou Kotomine.

It could be a time travel overlay, or it could be the awakening of memories from a past life.

At that time, Kiritsugu Emiya had not yet been cremated, and his Sorcerer's Mark was still on his body.

It was thanks to this magic crest that Shirou Emiya was able to sneak into the Matou family's house several months later, disguised as a child, and kill Zouken Matou.

Chapter 681 The most learned person in the family

Chapter 681, Section 682: The most learned member of the family

Although they were resurrected at the same time and the next generation has a close relationship, the relationship between the previous generation, namely Kiritsugu Emiya and Tokiomi Tohsaka, was not actually that good.

After leaving the arena, Irisviel suggested that everyone find a hotel for a meal together, not only to celebrate the resurrection of some of them, but also to celebrate the victory of Illya and the others.

However, Tokiomi Tohsaka did not agree.

Therefore, the two families separated in the Kingdom of Britain and departed from different spatial portals.

There were too many tourists in the city, and with the immense popularity of Ilya and her friends after winning the championship, both of the two shops we visited were packed with people.

Thus, the Emiya family members, led by Shirou Emiya, returned to the Emiya family in the original world.

“Dad, your room is the same as it was back then, and I haven’t thrown anything away.”

As they were talking, Shirou Emiya suddenly realized something and asked hesitantly:

"Now that he has been resurrected, wouldn't it be better to throw away the memorial tablet at home?"

"Hmm, throw it away."

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded slightly, then looked at Taiga Fujimura to the side and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your hard work over the years, Dahe."

"I'm Shirou's older sister, so this is what I should do."

As he spoke, Fujimura Taiga secretly glanced at Irisviel, unconsciously thinking:

No matter how many times I see her, she's always so beautiful. She and Kiritsugu are a perfect match.

"Taikawa, how is Grandpa Fujimura doing these days? I'd like to visit him later."

"It's still the same as before, but he'll definitely be shocked if he sees Mr. Kiritsugu."

"I look forward to meeting him."

Kiritsugu Emiya nodded slightly, then turned to Illya with an apologetic expression:

"I'm sorry, Ilya, I didn't mean to break my promise back then."

"No need to apologize. Shirou has told me many times that your strength was greatly reduced due to the injuries you sustained in the Holy Grail War, which prevented you from entering the barrier."

Ilya waved her hand dismissively and said:

"I was actually quite jealous of Shirou at first, but now, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Thank you."

Kiritsugu Emiya murmured something, his mind drifting back to the past.

Looking up, he saw Ilya laughing and recounting her championship victory to Hercules.

"Shirou, is your Holy Grail War still ongoing?"
