Section 3: Counterfeit "The Humble Yet Powerful Dragon Slayer"

What does the beach have to do with that paint?

I tasted calcium carbonate. Maybe they made some of the paint from shells?

So we're here at the beach! Now, who's that fake Servant behind door number three!?

... ...

That sorry-looking fella right there is Siegfried?

Wait, Mash! Don't get close to him! He's a counterfeit!

But that's Siegfried!

He's the humblest, meekest, and most polite Saber in the entire world!

Even if he's a counterfeit Heroic Spirit, that shouldn't change.

That's right. I am very sorry that we have to fight...

NOT!

？！

Foooou!?

Fujimaru and Fou are freaking out!

I-I'm surprised too!

What's wrong, Siegfried! This isn't like you at all!

I can't help it. I'm a counterfeit after all. If the original is humble, I must surpass it with my pride to defeat my opponents.

For one thing, isn't it rude to tell someone you're sorry when you're not?

He's right. A very arrogant comment, but he's right!

He's a counterfeit trying to surpass the original, but he's still kind of humble at his core!

I think that's just who Siegfried is!

I am the strongest dragon, descending on a beach beneath the crescent moon. I have nothing to apologize for.

Instead, be bold. Be bolder That's what she whispers to me.

She, huh? Hmm, and it's not like she has something against me, right?

Or actually, I don't think she does. If she hated me, she'd be a little more clingy, or sticky

Yes. It's best to say that she's dry.

A dried-up fresco. It lasts for a century, but will never change.

...That's why you're the most famous artist in the world. You're very perceptive. I commend you for that.

But that doesn't mean I can tell you anything. I'm sor... No, you're my enemy, so I'm not sorry at all.

Kindness towards an enemy can only be shown if you have the strength to spare it, and I do not.

Now let's fight, Fujimaru! I've got no real reason to, but I'll stop you with everything I've got!

Gah! I'm so...

Gotcha!

...Sorry! I messed up!

He was a tough opponent, but we won, Master!

...No, I am the one who won.

What?

I tricked you, but I won't apologize!

Because it's only natural for a warrior to try and trick his foe.

It's nothing to be ashamed of.

He said that with such confidence! Like "What are you going to do!?"

Oh no! This is bad, Mash! Activate your Noble Phantasm now!

What...

I am the bone of my sword.
