Reinhardt asked on behalf of Jin, who was concentrating on controlling Jin D.
"I ...... don't ...... have a father anymore, and my house is being rebuilt, but that doesn't mean I can't be a part of it. But that doesn't mean I can immediately forgive him for what he did. But I will accept his apology."

"Well, I'm the same way. I think she really wants an apology from her grandfather, not from me.
"I guess so."
Reinhardt is not a complete outsider in this matter. Erza's father was his uncle, he was friends with Saki, and he was there when Marcus, who was controlled by Marcosius, caused the incident.

"You really have changed, Markosias.

He said to her.
"He has changed......, hasn't he?"
Closing his eyes, Marcosius nodded.

"Don't you want to go home,......?"
"Home, you mean. I don't have any ...... relatives here anymore.
Markosias says he has enjoyed raising his adopted son and disciples here.

The language of Zion D.'s partner had become a little more respectful. Jin D. realizes this and sits back down a little further away.
Jin, who was piloting Jin D, felt a little sympathy for Markosias, who had taken in an orphan and raised him.
So now I thought I'd let him talk as he likes.

Haha, that hurts my ears.
Theon D. and Markosias were having a normal conversation, as there was no particular conflict between them.

Jin D suddenly looked to the side and saw a red-haired automata named Rubel staring at Reiko.
But the look in her eyes was one of
"What do you want from me?"

Reiko asked,
"No."
Rubel turned his face away.

At that moment, Markosias, who had been talking with Zion D., came in,
"......Miss Leco, she has been listening to me complaining about you for a long time, and I'm sure she is curious about you. If you don't mind, I'd like to talk to her for a while.

He said to Reiko.
"...... if that's the case."
Reiko answered a little uncomfortably,

Jin-D thought to himself, "This child, like Reiko, calls Marcosias <

Rubel was talking to Reiko, looking a little happy.
"I see, I'm happy for you."
In contrast, Reiko's reaction was a bit dismissive. Or rather, this is the kind of reaction Reiko has to people she is not interested in.

The first me was born 345 years ago. But I was not good enough, so two years later I became the next me. I stayed for 11 years, but my father didn't like it, so I became the third me.
"...... I see."
That's a great story, Jin thought as he listened through Jin D's perception.

"The third me lasted 21 years, but your father was still not satisfied, so I became the fourth me. But there was a little mistake, and a week later I became the fifth one.
That's quite a career, Jin thought as he listened, but then he recalled that he had enhanced and improved Reiko, and that it might be similar .......

Do you understand ......?

Yes. I'd say I'm about 30% of what you are.
I don't know about that.
Reiko casually dismisses the question.

I see.
"...... well, for your father's sake, would you be willing to meet with me just once?"

"...... yes?"
Jin D., who was listening to the conversation through Jin D., sighed inwardly.
"I know I'm no match for you, Reiko. But I want to see how much I can hold them off."

"......"
Reiko looks at Hitoshi D. as if she is a little troubled.
Jin himself is also wondering what he should say.

I don't have the ambition anymore to overpower her, but I do want to know how far I can go. But I would like to know how close I have come.
So, I want you to break this obsession," Markosias said.
