Marconen looked surprised when he heard about the third generation .
"Oh, I didn't know that."
(It seems that you are not very well informed about the current world.)
Elena thought about it,
"I ask you again, you are not going to meet the third generation of magecraft masters to settle your grudge, are you?"
"Yes, I swear it."
Marconen says that he is the third generation <>, which means that he is a different person from the second generation.
(...... not a different person, but ...... let's keep that quiet)
Elena kept her mouth shut, not knowing what kind of trouble she might get into.
Somehow, the atmosphere was no longer conducive to further conversation, so Elena and her party decided to leave the kingdom of Elias.
"I hope you don't mind..." "No, I don't mind..." "No, I don't mind..."
No, thank you.
Elena then asked Marconen..,
"Mister Markkonen, I will contact you soon."
And then she left.

"Yes, I suppose so."

Markosius should have been no exception.
"However, ...... I think about Elsa," he said.
Georg, Elsa's father, had been seduced into rebellion by Marcus, who had been manipulated by Marcosius, and the Randall family had been temporarily destroyed.
Later, because of Erza's success as a court-appointed healer (Reichsartz), the family was able to reestablish itself as a quasi-barony, and was later promoted to the rank of baronet.
Saki's grandfather, Marquess Gehlen Theodoric von Eisen, also suffered liver damage from arsenic-laced wine and would have been in danger if not for Erza.
They have such a fateful relationship.
"I think we should let Zion know about this, don't you?
<
"Of course."
So Jin gave him a brief outline with , and the next day, the 18th, Zion himself came to Horai Island to talk about the details.
< is there, so there's no need to move around.
"It's been a while, Jin.
"Yes, it has. I'm glad to see you're doing well.
After a brief greeting, Jin led Zion to the cafeteria/meeting room.
All the members of the of Horai Island were there.
"Mr. Xiong, it's been a while."
Marikka greeted Zion on behalf of the others.
"Marikka, it's been a while. I'm glad to see you are well.
Well, homunculus do not get sick.

.
I'll leave it to you to explain. The old man explained it to me in his own way.
"I see.
<
"That being the case, there is some talk that the clans could be united instead of being divided into different clans.
"Oh, I see."
Jin nodded at Zion's explanation.
"There are no more clans of the . < clan.
The clans will eventually be absorbed by the clans, Xiong said.
Sion laughed, saying that it would be impossible in his lifetime.
"Now, about the Markosias. I'd like to hear what ...... Elsa has to say about it."
Elsa is the most closely related of them all.
I'd like to hear what Elsa has to say. ......I certainly haven't forgotten what was done to me. But it's done. I have no father or brother. The Randalls are out of my hands. That's why ......"
Elsa said she was interested to know if Marcosias was sorry for his past sins.
"But I can't go see him now."
"That's right."
Jin agreed. He then asked Saki, another member with whom he had a history, "What about Saki?
What about you, Saki?
"Me? I'm the same as Elsa. My grandfather died a long time ago.
Saki said she wanted to know first what Marcosias was thinking.
"Then it's up to me or ......."
"What about Jin?"
Zion overheard Jin's muttering.
"Well, Markosius has a long life span, so he must have known me in the past, right? <
"Yes, that's right. If Jin went there as it is, he'd probably say you look exactly like him and suspect a relationship.
It would be too much trouble to explain.
Reiko is an automata, so there is no problem.
"I'll ask Machina to go to her, or I'll have her doppelganger disguise herself..."
"I think it would be better if we disguise the doppelgänger a little."
Reinhardt said.
"I don't think Markosias will be able to remember exactly what Jin looks like, so if we change the color of his hair and eyes, and play with his hair a little, he won't recognize him.
"Hmm, I think that's a good idea."
"But how would people who have met Jin before his disguise react?"
Saki asked.
"Oh."
Jin was troubled because he hadn't thought of that.
"A hat, a haircut, and maybe a pair of sunglasses.
That alone would make it much harder to tell who he was. He had rarely met Markosias face to face, let alone face him. He was the kind of person who felt ...... like it.
"That's probably a good idea. I'll follow up on that."
Theon agreed, so Jin decided to go with that line of thinking.
"So, when are you going to go?"
"What? What?
"Yes. Yes. We are friends, you know.
"Yes. But make sure it's a generic doppelganger.
That's how it was settled.
I was going to talk to Marconen through Elena,
"What about St. Mark's Podium in the Kingdom of Egelea?
Reinhardt said.
"Oh, come to think of it, we haven't confirmed yet that St. Mark's is related to Markosias, have we?"
Jin understood what Reinhardt was saying.
"You want me to confirm it? "I don't think that's absolutely necessary, though."
Reiko was the one who wanted to see Markosias, not his disciple.
"Then, if we check with Markonen and find out that San Marco is also a disciple of his, we can take her with us?"
Theon offered a compromise.
"Well, I don't know..."
Jin tilted his head.
"I don't think we have to go that far."
Reinhard said.
"I guess so. I don't think we need to be so careful.
After asking the other members for their opinions, they finally decided to ask only Marconen for confirmation this time.
