Act 2: Dashing!! GUDAGUDA Three Line Formation

!

Finally the time has come to settle the score, Fool of Owari! ...So my boss says.

!

Bare your corpses before the Takeda Cavalry. ...So my boss says.

But it looks like you're just riding an elephant...

!

Don't worry about the details. It'll make you go bald! ...So my boss says.

You should be the one worrying!

!

L-Let's plant our flag in Persia. ...So my boss says.

Oh, I'm done here? Yay...

W-We managed to defeat them... But it seems like Rider wasn't really that interested in the first place.

It seemed like my famous cavalry-killing Three Line Formation didn't do that much to Rider?

Uh, well, that's...

Now that you mention it, it seemed like arrows hurt more than usual...

Speaking of classes, we haven't heard of yours, Mash.

You wouldn't see one in a normal Holy Grail War, but... I'm a Shielder, and we focus on defense.

A class focused on defense. That's unusual. But, your chest does look squishy enough to repel anything I throw at it.

Now that you mention it, Mash doesn't seem to be affected by affinities.

Right! I'm a Shielder, so you can leave all the defense to me!

I'm kind of jealous since I've got a fragile body. Are those boobs the secret to defense?

？！

That part doesn't matter!

Behold! I am the true god of war, Uesugi Altria! Takeda Darius, it's time for our fated duel!

A new Servant? Master, get ready for battle!

What? Uesugi? ...Wait, you're a girl? The Dragon of Echigo can't be a girl! Go back and start over!

I don't think we can say that...

No, there are theories saying I could be a girl... Anyway... Where is my fated rival, Takeda Darius?

Huh? He got eliminated just now...

What! I came all the way from Kasugayama just to fight, and it was all a waste...

I wanted to take Kai's food and eat to my heart's content...

？！

Oh... Well, that's just how it goes! For my food... No, for my people!

I'll take your rations instead! I have the divine protection of Vaisravana on my side!

The Warring States period really was like this! What a pain!

I can't believe I lost... It must be because I stopped myself at only three bowls of rice this morning...

By the way, this is completely unrelated, but I think my shadow is getting...thinner?

That was a tough battle, Senpai. All the Servants seemed kind of strange...

？！

It seems like when they were summoned, factors of the generals I considered my enemies were mixed in.

So it's your fault again...

This is bad! Fujimaru, Mash! Get away from there immediately!

What? What's going on, Doctor?

Well, I was a bit groggy when I woke up, and was just casually looking into that space's composition...

...when I discovered a certain particle spreading there.

A fascinating, funny particle that infects Servant spirit cores, causing bad stuff to happen!

Wh-What was that? What kind of "bad stuff" are we talking about?

Weakened status, modified memories, damaged spirit core. But out of everything that could happen this is the worst...

"You become a disappointment!"

Huh? A disappointment?

Yes, a disappointment.

N-Now that you mention it, there was that Uesugi and that Imagawa from before...

This is bad, Senpai! We need to get out of here before we go kaput!

That's right! We can't go kaput!

We might end up like that weird creature!

Huh? I-Is there something wrong? Anyway, let's go take a bath and wash it off or something!

？！

Huh? It doesn't seem like Sakura Saber or Demon Archer have changed at all...

Hmm. We haven't changed at all...

I'm my same old blood-coughing self.

Well, maybe you two were already a disappointment to begin with.

What? (x2)
