Hektor
Trojan Guardian
Mash:
Master, Hektor would like to ask something.
Hektor:
Hey Master, you there?
Hektor:
You don't have to be so on edge.
I'm your Servant now.
Fujimaru 1:
I'm not on edge.
Fujimaru 2:
I'm not worried.
Hektor:
I see. Good. So anyway,
there's something I wanted to talk to you about.
Hektor:
Mind if I ask you too, Mash?
Mash:
N-Not at all. Go ahead...
Hektor:
Okay, well I'll get straight to the point.
I'm not using all of my power right now.
Fujimaru 1:
Going easy?
Fujimaru 2:
You're strong if you tried?
Hektor:
Right. Of course, I'm not trying to go easy or anything,
and I could be powerful if I tried, you know?
Hektor:
But my Noble Phantasm...
It's gotten a bit weaker.
Mash:
Durandal, right? I think you called it...
Durindana, was it?
Hektor:
Yeah, that's the name, I think.
Mash:
Wouldn't it be better for you to remember its True Name?
Hektor:
Well... Ha, ha, ha. To be honest, I don't really care what lance I have as long as I can throw it.
Hektor:
It's natural for great swords and lances to break left and right on the battlefield.
Hektor:
And even if it didn't break, it's lost once you throw it.
So you learn to make do with whatever you've got.
Hektor:
To be honest, this old man can even kill someone with a single stone. Whether they're a Heroic Spirit or not.
Hektor:
Well, in any event. This lance is legendary in later generations.
Hektor:
I need to get it sharpened again, ya'know. Let me see.
As long as I can cut down 100 more people with it–
Mash:
...Then how about you do some training in a programmed simulation?
Hektor:
A virtual battle, huh?
I guess I can't be picky.
Hektor:
Master, what do you think?
Want to help this old man with some training?
Fujimaru 1:
Guess I have to.
Fujimaru 2:
Not a problem.
Hektor:
Good. Quick answers like that show one's true nature.
You're a great Master after all.
Hektor:
All right. Let's go.
Mash:
Okay, we're here.
So about those enemies–
Mash:
How about we get started with the humanoid ones first?
Hektor:
Okay, we'll use that for warm-up, then.
All right Master–give me your orders!
--BATTLE--:
Hektor:
I'm starting to get the hang of this.
Let's kick it up a notch.
Hektor:
Master, add fifty more!
Raise the level just a little, too!
Mash:
G-Got it.
I'll summon some ghost-type enemies next.
Hektor:
All right. You can't kill fog by piercing or cutting it–
Hektor:
You must scatter it,
like a raging storm!
Hektor:
Give me your orders, Master!
--BATTLE--:
Hektor:
Whew.
Mash:
Confirming the elimination of all ghosts.
The next set will be the last.
Hektor:
If we're on the last set,
then bring me a really strong one next.
Hektor:
If you want, I can even take on a dragon.
Mash:
In that case–I'll summon a dragon-type enemy for you.
Fujimaru 1:
Are you serious!?
Fujimaru 2:
You're joking, right!?
Mash:
Huh? That was a joke?
I already started the summoning process!
Hektor:
It'll be fine. No problem.
My duty is to protect my Master.
Hektor:
You know this old man, when it comes to holding the line, guard duty, defense–
Hektor:
Basically, anything involving protecting something or someone... I've never lost before.
Hektor:
The Achilles thing was different!
Hektor:
Now Master, give me your orders!
As your shield and fortress–I pledge to fight, yeah?
--BATTLE--:
Mash:
I've confirmed its defeat!
That was impressive, Hektor.
Hektor:
Yeah, yeah. This old man pushed himself a bit too hard.
My shoulders and back hurt all over.
Hektor:
I think Durindana's got its sharpness back a little.
Guess I'll call it good for now.
Hektor:
Anyway, let's head back. –Oh, yeah.
I guess I can be a bit more useful from now on?
Fujimaru 1:
Of course.
Fujimaru 2:
Please continue to lend us your strength.
Hektor:
I see.
Then I'll do the best I can.
Mash:
...I'm not sure if this is the case,
but maybe that ocean battle was on Hektor's mind?
Mash:
To him it might be the distant past,
but to us it's like yesterday.
Mash:
So maybe he's trying to show he can be a good Servant...
Fujimaru 1:
I trust him.
Mash:
...I suppose you're right. That's what a Servant is, after all.
Mash:
He is the one who answered our summons, so I'm sure that's a happy thing and not a troubling matter.
Mash:
Let's continue to have him fight by our side.
