Shirou's clones number 30 million

The men in suits exchanged glances and made way for each other in the middle.

"Please come in."

Rin Tohsaka walked through the crowd and entered the Emiya residence.

The next moment, Sakura and Taiga Fujimura came into view at the same time.

The two were talking about something, but their expressions and actions revealed an indescribable anxiety.

"Fujimura-sensei? Sakura, this... this should be the Emiya residence, right?"

"Tohsaka-senpai, what brings you here? Do you know where Shirou-senpai is?"

Sakura Matou quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Isn't he here?" Rin Tohsaka asked, looking surprised.

"My senior suddenly disappeared last night, and there has been no news or clues since."

"Last night? When did that happen?"

"It should be around 11 o'clock."

Upon hearing that extremely familiar time, Rin Tohsaka fell silent.

Without a doubt, that was the time I summoned my Servant last night.

He summoned a nobody, a liar, who called himself Emiya Shirou.

The moment the summoning was successful, Shirou Emiya vanished from the world without a trace.

There must be some relationship between these two, right?

However, the most pressing issue is something else entirely.

Chapter 102 They don't look alike at all!

Chapter 102, Section 103: They don't look alike at all.

"Why are you at the Emiya residence? What is your relationship with Emiya?" Rin Tohsaka asked somewhat nervously.

“I live here,” Matou Sakura said hesitantly. “As for our relationship, as you said, we are family.”

Living here? That means cohabitation.

Rin Tohsaka paused for a moment, but quickly recovered when she thought of her dream from last night.

In the dream, Shirou Kotomine, when he was in sixth grade, asked him to go to the Matou family's house together to rescue Sakura.

After that, Sakura lived with him at the Tohsaka family home.

However, Shirou Emiya and he weren't particularly close, so he probably went to rescue Sakura alone.

Because of this, Sakura has lived in the Emiya family ever since.

Judging from her tone, she has been living in the Emiya family for at least several years.

"And what about Mr. Fujimura? And why are you here?"

"I am Shirou's guardian."

"Huh...? This is the first time I've heard of something like this... So, Emiya went missing around 11 p.m. last night, which is why you haven't been to school all day?"

“I don’t know where Shirou went.” Fujimura Taiga looked worried. “At 11:30 last night, Sakura suddenly called me and said that Shirou had disappeared and she couldn’t find him anywhere.”

"After that, I rushed over from home and had people search all night, but we still couldn't find any clues."

As she listened to the end, Rin Tohsaka suddenly realized something.

She ran away from home; in other words, she doesn't live here.

"Doesn't Professor Fujimura live here?"

"Yes, I live in my own home, which is not far from here, just a few steps away."

"So, that means there are only Sakura and Emiya in this house?"

"That's true, but they are both sensible and well-behaved children who can take good care of themselves. Before Sakura came, there was a period when Shirou was the only one in this house, and I was really worried about him then."

Rin Tohsaka stared speechlessly at Taiga Fujimura; clearly, she hadn't realized the problem.

Perhaps she realized it, but didn't care.

Has Emiya ever disappeared like this before?

“No, absolutely not.” Fujimura Taiga shook his head repeatedly and said without hesitation, “Shirou is a good boy, he wouldn’t do something like leaving without saying goodbye. He… must have run into some trouble.”

"We've searched the house and the neighborhood several times, but we haven't found any clues about you, Senior." Matou Sakura's gaze shifted to Fujimura Taiga. "Let's go to the police station; it's the only way."

“There’s too little time; it’ll be difficult for the police to file a case,” Fujimura Taiga pondered. “I’ll go back and have my family send out all the members of the Fujimura Group to search the entire Fuyuki City. If we still can’t find it, then we’ll call the police.”

At that moment, Rin Tohsaka felt a pang of guilt.

If Emiya's disappearance was indeed caused by summoning a Servant, then he is inextricably linked to it.

"I think I heard someone mention Shirou at school just now. Wait a minute, I'll make a call and ask. Maybe we'll get some clues."

"Really?" Matou Sakura's face lit up with joy, and she immediately looked at her expectantly. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Tohsaka-senpai."

Yes, I am a senior now.

Hearing the term "senior" from Rin Tohsaka made her even more depressed.

She walked quickly to the corner of the courtyard, pretended to take out her phone, and at the same time, took off a hair clip from her head and held it in her hand.

"Archer, are you still there?"

“I’ve always been here,” Adris’s voice immediately came from the hair clip.

Do you know where Emiya went?

"Yeah, I roughly know."

"Where is he? Or are you Shirou Emiya?"

Adris paused for a few seconds, then spoke again:

"I am indeed Shirou Emiya, but not entirely."

"What does this mean?" Rin Tohsaka asked in surprise.

"Didn't I say before? I am Emiya Shirou, the combination of the past and the present. But actually, it's not just a combination of two, maybe three, or even five."

That's it!

Rin Tohsaka seemed to be deep in thought. No wonder her two dreams last night were so completely different, making people think that she was a high school student from a fantasy novel who had traveled from the modern world to another world.

But if they are Shirou Emiya from two different worlds, then it makes sense.

The concept of an isotope in a different plane is not surprising.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the Servant he summoned was indeed Emiya Shirou.

When will he be back?

"When the Holy Grail War ends and I leave this world, he will be able to return immediately."

Is that really the case?

Rin Tohsaka lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then quickly walked back to Sakura Matou and sighed:

"I think I know where Emiya is."

"Where is the senior?"

"What's wrong with Shirou?"

The two asked impatiently.

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka hesitated for a moment, then shifted her gaze to Sakura Matou:

"Sakura, things are a bit complicated. Can we talk about it privately?"

“Okay, let’s go to my room.” Matou Sakura nodded slightly. “Come with me.”

Rin Tohsaka followed behind her, wanting to ask her several times how her life in this house was, but she couldn't bring herself to speak.

Soon, Matou Sakura entered an empty room.

Apart from tatami mats and a wardrobe, there was nothing else in the room; it didn't look like a girl's room at all.

"Is this your room?"

"Hmm. Where is senpai? Does Tohsaka-senpai know?"

“Before that…” Rin Tohsaka raised the Command Seal on the back of her hand and said in a deep voice, “You’re a Master too, right?”

"Yes, I am Rider's Master. Could it be that you've been drawn into the Holy Grail War?"

"Since you are also a Master, it's easier to explain."

Rin Tohsaka placed the hair clip on the ground and then said:

"Change back to human form, Archer."

The next moment, accompanied by a puff of smoke, the hairpin instantly transformed into Adris.

"This is my Servant Archer. Until this morning, he insisted that he was Emiya Shirou."

"Why......!?"

Sakura Matou glanced at Adris instinctively, her face showing obvious surprise.

"Senior? Doesn't seem like it at all."

Emiya Shirou had short red hair and was not bad-looking, but could only be described as handsome; he was nowhere near as dashing as this blue-haired youth.

After staring intently at Adris for a while, Matou Sakura murmured to herself:

"It's not that they don't look alike at all; there are some similarities in their features. But to call them a senior like that is just too far-fetched, isn't it?"

Rin Tohsaka smiled and said again:

"Actually, I also think this is a bit outrageous. So, until just now, I didn't believe that he was Emiya."

“But I summoned Archer at 11 p.m. last night, and Emiya disappeared at the same time.”
