He's Been with Everyone / As Long as Life Goes On, So Does His Woes with Women

"Wasn't it you who encouraged me to do that thing—summoning tentacles with black Magecraft?" The Kuro Neko beside him trembled as it looked at Shirou.

"I swear to God, there really aren't any of these! Wait? Why are you all looking at me with such strange eyes?" Shirou was startled by the girls' gazes.

The girls at this moment seemed to be filled with resentment and anger, their eyes containing a hint of hatred, yet also carrying a touch of ambiguity, a sense of wanting to resist while also welcoming. It was practically a terrifying Asura Field.

"Wait! Everyone, calm down! Although we are indeed involved in this doujinshi story, there are many misunderstandings, but we haven't done anything we shouldn't have!" Shirou quickly explained.

"Oh... so you did what you were supposed to do, didn't you?" Utaha Kasumigaoka questioned Shirou. Although she didn't think Shirou was the kind of guy whose brain was controlled by his lower body, he had still done it with her, hadn't he? She had thought that this time things had gone so smoothly because her persistence had finally paid off. It turned out that he had just gone astray?

"Yeah, that's right! It's very suspicious. In my memory, Shirou did appear, and his reaction didn't seem like that of an NPC." Kousaka Kyousuke interjected at this moment.

"I knew it! Brother, you have the same memories as us, don't you!" The Kuro Neko, the famous detective, pointed towards Shirou and said.

"Huh? Are you trying to pretend nothing happened?!" Kirino glared at Shirou and asked. Although she wasn't entirely sure, seeing Shirou's attitude made her inexplicably angry. She wouldn't be the one who was abandoned.

"Brother Shirou? You did promise to take care of us, didn't you?" The black-haired girl Ayase, stood up and called out to Shirou with a resentful tone, her back to him.

"Yes! Of course!" Shirou replied reflexively. Hearing that plaintive voice reminded Shirou of the girl in his dream who was pregnant because of her sins. His anxiety was on the verge of collapse; how could he possibly abandon that girl? But this is the real world! She's not pregnant at all!

Previously, it was just speculation. After all, anime and manga are very different from real-life humans. This is not anthropomorphic 3D art from the West, nor is it realistic computer-generated CG. Even if it is a very similar cosplay, it is still just cosplay, and there is still a big difference in appearance.

Just like everyone else, the girls were treated as cosplayers. They never even saw the doujinshi and immediately associated it with their own bodies. But after flipping through the manga, they found many familiar scenes. Especially the fighting scenes, some forgotten details from their dreams resurfaced in the girls' memories.

As for the things about myself in the "what if" storyline, although I can't recall them from my memory, they're depicted in the manga! Doesn't that mean...?

Utaha Kasumigaoka rummaged through the bag containing the complete series and discovered that there weren't any doujinshi featuring herself and Shirou! It was utterly absurd! But thankfully, there weren't any doujinshi featuring her and a bunch of handsome men either.

Utaha Kasumigaoka stared wide-eyed at Shirou, a suspicion creeping into her mind: 'Have you slept with everyone? So you actually have feelings for everyone?'

Even for her, something like this! Something like this! She couldn't accept it so easily! Cheating? Cheating right after officially starting a relationship? Shouldn't she be fooling around the night before they officially became a couple? Or was it a pre-wedding party, where she invited her buddies to let loose and have fun the day before the wedding?!

No! If that's the case, then it's better!

The problem is, he's sincere! Even though the memories aren't shared, doesn't that mean that if the curse isn't broken by her, but by another girl, then she'll be the one who's forgotten?

"Shirou ..." Utaha Kasumigaoka looked at the boy with a complicated expression.

"But... even if it happened in other worlds, huh?" Shirou wanted to explain, but suddenly a flash of lightning struck his mind.

Shirou, stunned, had a bad feeling.

He seems to have discovered a shocking secret...

"I... I think I remember what happened..."

Upon hearing this, the girls' eyes widened, and they looked up nervously at Shirou.

"Ah~!" Kouko-san, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized that some things might have really happened!

Yes! In the world of dreams, every Shirou a girl encounters is actually real!

Fragments kept appearing in Shirou's mind, and then they pieced together a complete puzzle.

After entering the story's world, things proceeded smoothly as follows: Shirou, as the protagonist, appeared in a world where he was all alone, and was then killed by the girls, or by Roswaal and the maid.

After each death, he accumulates experience through the cycle of death. But when he is reborn, Shirou is no longer the same Shirou he once was.

According to the principles of the Gates of Destiny and the Stone Gate Theorem, death is irreversible; the only thing that can be reversed is the spirit.

Because death is irreversible, Shirou was actually dead in the world where he died. He simply came to that parallel world with his memories. So-called rebirth is just sending memories back to the past, because multiple deaths will create a new parallel world.

However, traveling to parallel worlds is not without its price. Perhaps due to the damage to his mind caused by his multiple rebirths, he forgot some very important things when he returned to the real world.

Chapter 782 Had done it with everyone

In the story's world, Shirou dies many times before finally overcoming his difficulties, escaping the castle, finding Komachi, and then traveling to a parallel world to search for Utaha Kasumigaoka, the only girl with no blood relation to him.

But in fact, during his time travel, he experienced far more than he remembered.

After Komachi pulled Shirou into the space that allowed them to travel through parallel worlds, the following conversation actually took place.

In the white space before stepping through the door to a parallel world, Shirou and the spirit girl floated inside.

"Right! Brother! Now we need to go and seek out the only woman to lift the curse, but what about the other girls? If the world senses the crisis, they might be implicated and suffer terrible retribution. Even though it's a dream, it feels so real that it might cause psychological trauma." Komachi said, looking at the boy.

"Yes, of course we have to protect them, after all, it's something we agreed on." Shirou agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, Komachi understands! Then brother, go to these worlds at the same time, find the being without blood ties, and protect the others!"

"You can do it! Then I'll leave it to you." Shirou nodded, agreeing with Komachi's proposal.

"Yes, but Komachi can only accompany you in one world, so you'd better be careful in other worlds, brother. If you die again, there's no way to revive you." Komachi flapped her fairy wings and looked at Shirou seriously.

"I understand. I'll be careful when we get there. Let's do it this way!" Shirou nodded in agreement. He wanted to keep his promise to protect the girls and safely bring them back to their original world.

"Then! Let's go! Komachi will protect my brother's happiness!" Komachi said happily, waving her Magic Wand.

So, the moment Shirou stepped through the white door, he split into several parts and descended into different parallel worlds. In one world, he met the female knight Kirino, and in another, he was with Eriri, as well as the black Kuro Neko obsessed with dark Magecraft, Saori, the viscount's daughter, and so on...

They helped the girls there, and together they fought tenaciously in this cruel world.

In those parallel worlds, Shirou will make different choices, causing different consequences. Each parallel world contains a Shirou, but the Shirou who successfully breaks the curse will serve as the converging point, inheriting the memories of that world and returning to the real world.

The other Shirou protected girls scattered across various parallel worlds. In this situation, each Shirou shared the same past, but after traveling through different worlds, they became separate individuals.

In these processes, Shirou will split from a single entity into multiple individuals. In fact, every choice he makes, leading him to a different world, will create a new world line.

The individuals who were separated only possessed the memory of escaping the castle, and knew nothing about the other world they had traveled to. Shirou met Kirino, had never met Utaha Kasumigaoka or any other girl. The same was true for Shirou met Eriri and Ayase Shirou met Ayase.

So when he was alone with the girl, he made his own choice, which wasn't a betrayal of anyone else, because in this world, the girl was the only human being. If you have to say something, it's that Shirou developed feelings for girls a little too easily.

This choice resulted in an "what if" scenario, where Shirou didn't meet the woman he wasn't related to by blood, but instead chose to protect his sister, resolve a crisis, or share joys and sorrows—in short, walk the story path with a girl who wasn't the true protagonist.

With a thud, the notebook fell to the ground. On the day it was opened, it revealed the wicked smile of a fairy drawn with Komachi as the model.

Yes, at that moment Shirou remembered! Through the plot of the doujinshi, those dormant cells locked in his mind were activated after a flash of lightning!

Once again, Shirou's mind was filled with the image of the playful and adorable girl, Komachi, with her bright smile, saying, "My brother's happiness will be protected by Komachi!"

Hmm... Komachi, your brother is very touched... Although he's very touched, what should we do now?

On the other side, a cute, black-haired girl was at school when she suddenly sneezed, then gave a charming smile and said:

"Ah, it must be my brother missing me, hehehe~! He's such a spoiled child, he can't live without Komachi is so lucky~!"

Shirou covered his face in sorrow.

"Brother Shirou?"

"Shirou, what's wrong?"

"I might... maybe... I think I really did something..." Shirou said, his eyes wide and his face ashen.

Although he didn't provide the kind of fan service that's depicted in doujinshi, he seemed to have done everything he should and shouldn't have done. Because he believed that to break the curse, he had to give up true love. Because he believed that in a dream world, it wouldn't matter if he indulged himself a little.

In this parallel world, he falls in love with a girl, their passion igniting until the world shatters, freeing them from this world.

Hmm... just like what I did with Utaha Kasumigaoka...

"With whom?" Utaha Kasumigaoka asked in a hoarse voice.

"With everyone..." Shirou replied blankly.

Kousaka Kyousuke, who was standing to the side, looked at Shirou in astonishment.

"You're not included in that," Shirou said numbly.

Kousaka Kyousuke breathed a sigh of relief, but then it dawned on him. 'Wait a minute! This kid tricked his sister and friends! He should be angry!'

"Huh? Huh! Huh!! Doesn't that mean you...?"

"Shirou, so... you remember?" The girls looked at Shirou nervously and asked.

"And then it's not just one person, but everyone?" someone tried to ask.

"Hmm." Shirou nodded silently.

"Shirou... Shirou! I never thought you were this kind of person?" Eriri was shocked, her eyes filled with a look of disbelief that her loved ones had betrayed her.

"Brother Shirou..." Ayase looked at Shirou with a resentful expression, her hands stroking her flat stomach.

Wait! You're not pregnant in real life at all! Okay!

However, Ayase had an expression that said, "You don't have a child yet, but if you try, you'll have one. If you do have a child, you have to keep your promise and take care of us forever."

The Hime no Toki chuckled sinisterly, then stepped forward and threw herself into Shirou's arms, grabbing his arm in a coquettish tone before loudly asking:

"Shirou ~ Brother~! Tell me, what exactly did you do to us? Who are you going to choose now?!"

All the girls turned their gaze to Shirou.

'Don't cause trouble at a time like this, you homebody Princess!'

Chapter 783 Life goes on, women's suffering never ends

Beneath the pavilion, the girls all stared at Shirou, wanting an answer from him.

Choose yourself, or choose someone else!

If you choose to be yourself, you can rightfully establish a relationship here.

If I were to choose someone else, I'd smile and offer my blessings, but... that's probably... unlikely. Is there anything around here that I could use as a weapon?

"So! Shirou-kun, who do you want to take responsibility for? Not all the girls, right? So, were all the promises you made to me this morning just lies?" Utaha Kasumigaoka, emanating black aura, looked at Shirou with a smile and asked.

"So... it won't work after all?" Shirou hesitated for a moment before asking doubtfully. Although it was unlikely, no, it was almost impossible, but people still need to have dreams, right? What if they come true?

"I had already given up, but Shirou does have feelings for me after all, so how could I let go! Well then... don't even think about running away, Shirou!" Eriri seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Shirou seriously, and stepped forward to hug his other hand.

Wait Eriri, your eyes are starting to look more and more like those from that first night in my dream.

"Shirou..."

"Brother Shirou..."

The girls around them also exuded a terrifying aura, as if they had turned evil in the world of a story.

So... who do you choose?!

"I hope everyone can be happy! You are all my angels!!" Shirou shouted, spreading his arms wide as if he were spreading his wings.

The girls looked at Shirou with perfectly synchronized, indifferent eyes.

Do you want to become one of the legendary twelve-winged angels?

"As expected... it won't work..." Shirou sighed.

The terror of the female body lies in the fact that once a woman's masculine charm is unleashed too much, it may become impossible to rein it in.

"It's impossible after all! Making everyone happy is just too difficult! I really can't do it!" Shirou couldn't take it anymore and ran outside.

"Wait! Shirou! Don't Don't Run! At least reject them!" Utaha Kasumigaoka shouted, and had no choice but to chase after them.

"Why don't you just quit first! Whoever catches up with Shirou first wins, okay?!" Kirino rushed forward and suggested.

"Who would agree to that, Shirou! Don't think you can escape! If you refuse me, I'll curse you!" the Kuro Neko said.

"Brother, you still owe me a child in my belly!" Ayase followed after him.

"Shirou... Hey! Butler, dispatch a helicopter to locate a man for me, and then send a car to pick me up. I'll send you the photo and address now!" Saori pulled out her phone and called the family car. This was the time to use her considerable wealth!

"Oh dear, it seems that Shirou-senpai in this world didn't find true happiness either." BB-chan, observing everything from the void, stuck out her tongue and said cutely.

"It's all because we've been in a comfortable world for too long. Only a cruel world can truly show a man's value. A heart of steel, a tenacious body forged in extreme adversity—that feeling of wanting to pierce through him, wanting to melt him... Ahh~! Only that kind of Shirou is the best."

The petite girl beside him used her sharp, spiked mechanical legs to pound the ground in the space, making it creak and groan, as if she were drilling a diamond into the hard ground.

"Hey, hey, your true nature is completely out of the question." BB-chan said, looking at the girl whose legs were perfect for ballet.

"Of course... I know humans are fragile and need to be protected. If you do that, they'll die immediately, so I'll act with consideration for humans. But if we're talking about ideals, then this is definitely the way it should be." The sadistic Lilith said.

"Well, it's fun like this, so let's keep it this way." BB-chan said casually with a smile. After all, the path Shirou chose was full of thorns, and this was just a different way of expressing it. At least from this world onwards, Shirou probably wouldn't dare to underestimate the everyday world anymore. Compared to fighting evil, this place might be even more terrifying.

"Hmph! The one who can bring Shirou true happiness is destined to be me. The others have all made their moves, but they're too naive! That Lip girl has already made her move. But she's just playing house, actually thinking that a hug can make someone happy? Well... although being able to hug Shirou is indeed very enviable." Lilith said with her arms crossed, still aloof.

Lilith, upon considering this, surprisingly found it somewhat feasible. If it were her, perhaps she could satisfy Shirou's base desires. Using the Holy Grail to transform her legs into bare feet, and then letting Shirou lick them to his heart's content, suspending her in a tortoise shell bondage... Lilith's face flushed with the blush of a sadistic queen. Hmm, provided Shirou is a super masochist who likes flat-chested lolis, then the two of them should be happy, right?

Thinking about this, Lilith actually had a potentially feasible idea and said, "Then I'll go back too! You'll have to clean up the mess you made."

"No, no, even BB-chan thinks that's going too far. Really... who do these kids take after?" The purple-haired girl shook her head helplessly.

The girls of Sakura Squad are like precious toys, playing house with each other in their own way.

The girls of Sakura Squad are all actively carrying out Shirou's plan to save the world, transforming it into a form they believe will bring Shirou happiness. For example, the beast girl Gimpu (Emperor Flower) might think that being able to play Ultraman fighting monsters would be enough to make Shirou happy.

Lilith, a sadist, wants to give happiness to her masochists.

Lip, who fears loneliness, longs for a warm hug.
