Avenge Siegfried!

"Enjoying the battle?" Shirou's lips twitched.

Were you really that happy just because you got to fight?

"Come to think of it, I've never fought you after you mostly regained your strength. You're not at your strongest right now, but I only manifested as a Caster, so it evens out."

"Come, my friend. Let us have a fair... hmm, all-out match!"

"Even if you say that, I still don't think I'm the person you say saved Uruk." Shirou guiltily shifted his gaze elsewhere. "I saved almost nothing. Other than my little sister, I didn't even notice anything was wrong with the underclassman who had always taken care of me."

"Idiot! But you definitely saved her, didn't you? Didn't I use my own death back then to make you realize that?" Gilgamesh's expression darkened slightly.

"So your inexplicable departure back then was to make me notice Sakura's abnormality?" Shirou looked at Gilgamesh in surprise.

"Exactly." Gilgamesh sighed. "As expected, you've forgotten everything. Even your own wish."

"But that's fine. I remember."

Was it really all right to keep insisting that he truly was not the person she knew?

Shirou shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I owe you for this, but I still have to defeat you. Otherwise, this world will be destroyed. I can't accept that. Besides—eh? What's this? This—"

Shirou looked at the Holy Grail Gilgamesh had thrown to him.

Though it had no magical energy, if Caster and Illya helped him, Archer would surely be able to regain his original strength.

"Take it. Hmph, you wanted to refuse it, but you were too embarrassed to say so? Even the way you phrase it is the same. Saying you didn't save anyone. Five hundred people survived in Uruk in the end, and that was no small part thanks
