Caster: Personally, I found your mentality of trying to enjoy everything // to be one of your positive traits, though.

Caster (thought): Oh no!
Saber: This is Shoutouren, // forged by a Bodhisattva.
Page 5:
Caster: I won’t // let… // Kuh!
Saber: When unsheathed, // my wisdom equals that of Manjushri.
Page 6:
Saber: Saichi no Shukufuku!!
Caster (thought): What a blunder— // I had to stop her from bringing out Shoutouren at all costs, and yet…!! // She brought it out so soon… // I figured she would wait until there was some distance between us, // but she outplayed me—
Page 7:
Saber: I told you, remember? // Playtime is over.
Caster: Ah… I can’t believe I forgot. // For you, getting serious means releasing your second Noble Phantasm.
Saber: Exactly.
Caster: Hmm, self-hate due to the effects of Saichi no Shukufuku, was it?
Page 8:
Caster: During the Holy Grail War, // you explained the reason yourself, right?
Saber: What Saichi no Shukufuku basically does // is to guide me towards the most optimal solution. // So negative thoughts about how my current appearance is inefficient will always pop into my head when I use it.
Kazuhito: Then you should just change your appearance.
Saber: You don’t get it, Kazu-kun. // Life is boring without some fun in it. // Right? // Geez. // Looks like I’ll have to teach you // about those kinds of feelings too.
Page 9:
Caster: But right now, the source of your self-hate lies elsewhere, doesn’t it? // In order to make others have fun, // you have to enjoy your own life first. That’s your way of thinking, isn’t it? // In other words, your internal denial of your JK lifestyle // is basically a denial of your wish to help Sakagami-san enjoy life. // And you…
Page 10:
Caster (thought): Now then… // Unlike when she did it subconsciously in her first round battle with that crazy Roman Emperor, // her reason should be consciously utilizing her wisdom right now, // so her movements should become at least somewhat duller if I can faze her, but…
Page 11:
Saber (thought): I can easily tell // what you’re trying to do!
Caster: … // Honestly, you’re unbelievably awkward, you know?
Saber: What can you possibly under—!?
Caster: I understand. // Whatever you might say, your true nature is your devotion to others.
Page 12:
Caster: Curse: Chaos Heaven! // You’re great when it comes to serving someone else, // but completely helpless when it comes to yourself. // You’re terrible at controlling your feelings, // and as a result, you weren’t able to reach a compromise with your devoted mindset…
Page 13:
Caster: That about sums up your current state, right, Suzuka-san?
Saber: …
Caster (thought): … // I provoked her as much as I could, but did she actually calm down instead?
Saber: Devotion is my true nature? // I’ll throw those words right back at you, // damn fox.
Page 14:
Caster: I can’t deny that, but—
Saber: Yeah. // Knowing you, // you’re the type to guide someone if they make a mistake— // but at the very end, you’ll suppress your true feelings in order to raise up the person you care about. // Am I wrong? // Do you honestly have no regrets about that?
Pahe 15:
Caster: Of course I regret it! // But // those feelings of regret…
Page 16:
Caster: No matter how far they sink to the murky depths, // I’ll definitely scoop them back up… // I’ll polish them back their original shine and return them to my heart… // I won’t ever turn a blind eye to them.
Page 17:
Caster: Because whether they be fear or regret, all those feelings are what I received from that person. // I will acknowledge both the good and the bad and accept them all.
Saber: … // …! // —!! // Fox… // You… // That’s…!!
Page 18:
Caster: That quick understanding… // It’s not only due to your Noble Phantasm. // In that case, what might your third SG be…? // I don’t particularly want to understand, // but the contours of it are slowly becoming clear to me—
Saber: … // You’re the one person I’ll never acknowledge…

Caster: !
Saber (thought): That’s why I hate you!
