Shirou's clones number 30 million

"There's nothing we can do about it. Edris probably won't be back before the Holy Grail War ends. Given his personality, he certainly won't resolve this in a day; it will take at least a week."

"It's been too long! With so much time, who knows what Fujii and Sakura might do."

Thinking of the possible scenarios, Shirou Emiya became anxious and paced back and forth in the white mist space.

Fujimura's family is the largest yakuza organization in Fuyuki City. Once she discovers she is missing, she will definitely send the Fujimura Group to search for her.

After being rescued by him a few years ago, Matou Sakura has been living in the Emiya family. Although her body has gradually recovered, the psychological trauma remains, and she even has some yandere tendencies.

Is she really okay without me by her side? Won't something go wrong?

Shiro Sakurai pondered for a few seconds, then smiled and comforted her:

"Don't worry, it won't take that long. Within two or three days, Adris will definitely find out about Shirou Emiya's disappearance."

"Although he doesn't know you've entered here, he must have some guesses. In that case, you'll be able to get out in three to five days."

too long!

Emiya Shirou sighed deeply and said helplessly:

"It seems I'll just have to wait here for Adris to return."

"Would you like me to bring you some food?" Shirou Sakurai asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Emiya Shirou answered without hesitation.

At this moment, Red A suddenly interjected:

"Bring one for me too."

"Aren't you leaving?" Emiya Shirou asked, his face showing surprise.

Why are you leaving?

Red A countered with a question, speaking with a hint of melancholy:

"After you go back, you can eat, drink, and have fun to your heart's content, and do whatever you want."

"Besides, there are people at home waiting for you."

"But it's different for me. When I go back, all that awaits me is work, endless and never-ending."

"As soon as one job ends, the next one begins immediately, without even a chance to catch your breath in between."

"For me, this place is a safe haven where no job comes knocking and I don't have to do anything."

"So, I need to rest here for a while before I go back to work."

Seeing the look of relief on his face, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but laugh:

"Thank you for your hard work. In that case, please play chess with me here for the next few days."

“Okay.” Red A subconsciously looked at Sakurai Shirou, “When you go back, could you bring in more different kinds of board games? Shogi, Go, Othello…”

"No problem! Wait here for me for a bit, I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shirou Sakurai left the white mist space.

In the blink of an eye, only Archer and Shirou Emiya remained in the white mist space.

After a few seconds of silence, Shirou Emiya asked softly:

"Do you really have no regrets about becoming a partner of justice?"

“Of course. After all, I am a Heroic Spirit. How could I possibly regret the principles I've upheld throughout my life?” Archer chuckled and countered, “And you? Have you already given up?”

"Yes... The moment I transmigrated and became Emiya Shirou, my allies of justice were gone."

Emiya Shirou paused, his expression gradually becoming serious. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice:

"As a selfish person, I don't want to save the world, nor do I want to run around for the happiness of strangers. I just want to live an ordinary life with my family."

"I see..." Red A smiled and didn't continue the topic.

……

The Tohsaka family.

"Since you've identified yourself as Emiya Shirou, why don't you first tell me about the other Masters and Servants in this Holy Grail War? Who are they?"

“No problem. First up is the Saber group. The Master is me at this time—Emiya Shirou, and the Servant is King Arthur, Artoria.”

"What? That guy is actually my Master, and he even stole my Saber."

"What do you mean by stealing your Saber? You messed up the summoning time, isn't that all your own fault?"

Adris muttered a speechless comment and continued:

"Then there's the Archer group. There are two Archer groups in this Holy Grail War. One is actually you and me, and the other is Kirei Kotomine and Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes."

"Impossible! How could a job rank be repeated?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Rin Tohsaka hesitated and asked, as if she had thought of something:

"I remember in the last Holy Grail War, the Servant my father summoned was the King of Heroes. Could he be a remnant from the last Holy Grail War?"

"That's what intelligence is all about."

"Wait a minute? Wasn't he my father's Servant? How did he become Kirei Kotomine's Servant? And how has he survived for ten years?"

"That's a long story, let's talk about it another time. Now let's continue with the Servant. Lancer's name is Cú Chulainn, and he is also Kirei Kotomine's Servant."

"What! Kirei has two Servants. I was thinking of going to the church to report that I had successfully summoned one, thank goodness I didn't."

I never expected that Kirei would be such a treacherous fellow.

Wait! If Kirei has always been that kind of person, and his father didn't see through his true nature back then—

Rin Tohsaka hesitated for a few seconds, then asked in a low voice:

"Ten years ago, could it be that Kirei Kotomine killed my father?"

"Well... you guessed right, that's exactly it. And your mother too."

"That bastard! I will never let him get away with this."

Chapter 98 Become My Servant

Chapter 98, Section 99: Become My Servant

"Let's talk about the others next. First is the Rider group. The Servant is Medusa, and the Master is your sister, Matou Sakura."

"Sakura? I had a feeling it was her, but I didn't expect it to actually be her."

"Then there's the Caster group, whose Servant is the traitorous witch Medea, and they currently have no Master."

"Wait! What does 'no master' mean?"

"Because he was extremely incompatible with his Master, he plotted to kill him and is now in a dying state without a Master."

"I see. Let's move on to the others."

"There are also two Assassins. One is Sasaki Kojiro, summoned by Medea, and the other is Hassan, summoned by Matou Zouken using Sasaki Kojiro's body."

"Wait a minute! This is too strange, isn't it? Isn't Medea a Servant? A Servant can summon other Servants? And, according to you, weren't there a total of nine Servants in this Holy Grail War?"

"That's it."

"Hmm... Could there be something unusual about the remaining Berserker group as well?"

"No, Berserker is Hercules summoned by Illya. He possesses the Twelve Trials as his Noble Phantasm, which must be defeated 12 times. But compared to Gilgamesh, he is completely insignificant."

"So, the strongest Servant in this Holy Grail War should be another Archer, the King of Heroes."

Rin Tohsaka muttered to herself, a thought flickering in her mind, and suddenly said:

"Wait a minute! You mean Caster is currently wandering without a Master, and is about to find a new Master."

“That’s it.” Adris instantly understood her thoughts and asked with a light laugh, “Want to go?”

"Uh-huh."

Rin Tohsaka nodded repeatedly and answered without hesitation:

"Of course I'll go! With Caster, it means Assassin will also become my Servant."

"Now I have three Servants."

"Hmph... Even the King of Heroes couldn't face three Servants at the same time, could he?"

“Then let’s go.” Adris smiled slightly. “If we’re any later, Medea will belong to someone else.”

……

The city was very quiet at night, and there was no one around.

Medea wandered aimlessly through the streets, feeling the magic rapidly slipping away, and her mood plummeted.

At that moment, a chill ran down her spine, as if someone had observed her from head to toe.

"This feeling? Is it a follower?"

There's no mistake!

There must be a Servant using their wide-area perception ability to survey the entire city, and incidentally discovered me.

Without a Master, and with his magical energy at its lowest point, he has absolutely no chance of winning against other Servants in this state.

After much deliberation, she decided to close her eyes and stand still, awaiting death.

Whether one dies after exhausting their mana or is killed by another Servant, there is essentially no difference.

This is what Adris, who was carrying Rin Tohsaka as she descended from the sky, witnessed.

"Is she Caster Medea? Why is she standing there motionless?"

"Perhaps she felt she couldn't escape? After all, her mana was almost depleted, and Caster, who wasn't good at close combat, was being attacked by other Servants. No matter how you looked at it, she had no chance of winning."

"Enough! Just do it already!" Medea glared at the two men. "Or are you two going to humiliate me before you kill me?"

"Why does it have to be an enemy relationship? Isn't there another option when facing a Servant who has lost their Master?" Adris looked her over again. "Your mana is almost depleted, so it would be better to make a decision soon."

"Aren't you afraid I'll betray you again?"

"Don't be afraid. If you betray us, we'll arrest you, teach you a lesson, and then give you another chance."
