That's right. Worth. [k] @ Back then, worth[line 2]value was my justification.

[k] @Astraea A steel robot and a silver knight, hmm. [k] @Astraea Perhaps they were here because they sympathized with your sins? Or perhaps... [k] ?1:Bedi, maybe, but I doubt that's the case for Mecha Eli-chan. ?2:I don't know. Did they even have anything in common? ?! @Astraea Her conduct aside, the robot said something which raises a very key question: [k] @Astraea Are humans the only beings capable of sin? [k] @Astraea For instance, if a sword is used as an implement of murder, we would never put the sword on trial, would we? [k] ?1:No, we wouldn't. ?2:Now that you mention it, yeah, that's true. ?! @Astraea The sin belongs to the sword's wielder. [k] @Astraea Of course, in Mecha Eli-chan's case, she has her own unique form of intelligence, so I decided she also had her own unique form of sin. [k] @Astraea But that raises the question of whether that logic can be applied elsewhere. [k] [seStop ad60 1.5] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_70 1.5] @B:??? I don't know what you guys're talkin' about, but it sounds dull as hell.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Sakata Kintoki Aw man. This is about sins, huh? [k] [charaFace B 4] @Sakata Kintoki Yeah, 'course I've sinned. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Sakata Kintoki Just livin', eatin', and steppin' on the ground means you're gonna end up carryin' around a whole bunch of sin. [k] @Sakata Kintoki So as long as you're alive, you've just gotta accept that's the way it is and keep goin' anyway. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 2] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Astraea Astonishing! Spoken like a true hero! [k] [charaFace A 0] @Astraea Unlike the other two, you're clearly someone for whom individual absolution means nothing at all. [k] @Astraea Your mindset befits the truly strong. You have made peace with the sins most could never face. [k] @Astraea So yes, there would be no benefit to holding you to account for your individual sins while you were alive. I will refrain from judging the potential benefit to society. [k] @Astraea However, you are not alive anymore, are you? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Sakata Kintoki Nope. Now that I'm a Servant, it's definitely a different story. That's probably why I was called here. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Sakata Kintoki At this point, I don't mind lettin' your scales test me. In fact, I've been lookin' forward to it. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Sakata Kintoki But I do gotta warn ya: when those scales test me, I'm gonna test 'em right back! [k] @Sakata Kintoki And while I'm at it, Goddess of the Scales, I better warn you that even unarmed, I can hit as hard as an axe! [k] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_81 1.0] @Sakata Kintoki So how 'bout it? You ready to take an axe bomber lariat with an actual axe?
