I must apologize to you, Master.[sr]I misunderstood this dream.

[charaFace A 4]

Very much so.

＠Astraea
The three criminals we have met were not drawn here because of you, but because of me.
[k]

＠Astraea
Or, perhaps, they were drawn to both of us.
[k]

＠Astraea
Given how each of them are strongly associated with metals[line 2]bronze, silver, and gold, respectively...
[k]

＠Astraea
...they must have been here to represent three significant historical ages.
[k]

？1：What do you mean?

？！

＠Astraea
Back in the time of ancient Greece and Rome, the age of mythology was divided into four distinct periods:
[k]

＠Astraea
The golden age, the silver age,[sr]the bronze age, and the iron age.
[k]

＠Astraea
The golden age refers to the period in which Zeus's father, Cronus, reigned from on high.
[k]

＠Astraea
Justice was part of the natural order, eliminating the need for laws or penalties. There was no war, people lived long and happy lives, and everything was beautiful.
[k]

＠Astraea
The silver age began when Zeus claimed his father's throne and the four seasons began.
[k]

＠Astraea
While this age was sometimes subjected to harsh weather, and life was harder than in the golden age, on the whole, it was still a time of peace and plenty.
[k]

＠Astraea
As you can imagine, Sakata Kintoki clearly represents the golden age, and Bedivere the silver.
[k]

？1：So, Mecha Eli-chan's iron then?
？！

[charaFace A 4]
＠Astraea
No, she would actually be the bronze age.[sr]You see, the iron age is[line 2]

Judgment must be impartial above all else. If you were simply protecting humanity, that would have been one thing.
[k]

＠Divine Spirit Astraea
Indeed, if anything, I daresay our aiding the repair of the Seven Singularities and stopping King Solomon would have been supremely impartial.
[k]

？1：So, you're saying the problem is the Lostbelts.
？2：...But that doesn't apply to the Lostbelts, does it?

？！

＠Divine Spirit Astraea
Exactly. The battle with the Lostbelts is a battle for survival. In choosing one side over the other, you cannot possibly be impartial.
[k]

＠Divine Spirit Astraea
However, if you agree to leave Chaldea now and abandon this battle, I will consider the matter closed. What say you, other me?

I just remembered. The iron age is when I turned my back on humanity.
[k]

＠Astraea
I was the last of the gods to remain, but eventually, I too washed my hands of them.
