The Marquis Theoderic asked back to Jin, who told him that he had a bad liver. It was only natural, since he had no proper knowledge of the internal organs.
The liver," he said, "is located here. ......
Jin pointed to his body and explained the location of the liver.
"It is also known as the liver, and is used for metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. ......
Jin is not that knowledgeable and cannot give a good explanation.
"Hmm, I see, I don't understand."
As expected, the Marquis did not understand.
"But I know there is a large organ here. I see, that's what's wrong."
The Marquis smiled sadly and looked more resigned.
"I have retired from the army, but I wanted to work for my country a little longer. But I guess that's fate.
"Well, what did you do after you retired?"
"Well, I wanted to build a school to nurture the next generation.
Jin heard this story and felt that the Marquis was not as bad a person as he had thought.
The airship has just completed a circle over Lake Tosmo, and is slowly lowering its altitude. Reiko is piloting the plane.
Jin was giving the Marquis a brief explanation of how to fly the plane.
Jin, thank you for this valuable experience. I would like to personally reward ...... you in some way.
Jin was about to say, "I don't need anything," when the marquis started to say so, but stopped himself.
"...... sir, I am very sorry to tell you this," he said.
"Yes? Yes?"
Jin took a beat before saying the question.
"Would you give up Elsa Randall? ......"
"Yes, I would."
"...... she's got better things to do than get married. ...... What?"
So I said, I don't care.
"I don't care."
Jin is disappointed when the marquis says he will not marry Erza, but he is convinced when he hears what he says next.
"I can't take a young girl as a wife with my body. It will only make her unhappy. I liked her, but I don't want to make her unhappy.
The marquis seemed to have his own aesthetics. Jin was relieved.

So he decided to give the Marquis the same explanation he had given to the Empress. Reiko has been instructed to descend a little slower.
"...... I see. So Elsa didn't want to marry into my family. Her father never said anything like that. He said it was a match that she wanted and that she should be allowed to marry me.
When the marquis said this, Jin thought that it was all the result of Elsa's father's outburst.
"I think all my wives have loved me ....... I can't show my face to them by giving them someone they don't want. I am sorry for what I did to Elsa. I have caused her to be captured by the Unifilers and to suffer. I will have to apologize to her later."
It was a gamble to bring up Elsa's story, but Jin was relieved that he had made the right decision.
The Marquis was a gentleman, although he certainly liked young girls.
The airship landed in the center of the square.
"It was a good time, Mr. Jin," he said.
The Marquis shook Jin's hand and got off the airship. His steps were unsteady. Soon after, his men flew in and supported him as he returned.
The arena was filled with cheers and applause.
Jin thanked the audience and ordered the steward to move the airship to the corner of the square and moor it.
* * * * *
After Jin's airship, all the presentations looked poor.
Two presenters gave their presentations, but the reactions were not very positive.
Jin called Elsa and Saki to the waiting room and talked with them.
"......"
"......Hmmm, your grandfather said something like that, huh?"
After they finished talking, Erza was silent. Saki seemed indifferent, but actually looked a little worried.
"I think Erza can cure the Marquis' illness. I don't think it would be very effective if she just used it vaguely, even if it was a <>. Besides ......"
"And?"
"...... No, I've been wondering about something, but I'm not sure, so I'd like to ask Erza to check it out. What do you think, Erza?"
When Jin asked her, Erza looked down, thought for a while, and then looked up. Her face showed determination.
"I'll try ....... If I can do it."
Hearing this, Jin also tells Erza the results of Reiko's confirmation.
Of course, now Reiko can also use Elsa's <>, but it makes sense that it is Elsa who heals the Marquis.
"...... got it. Thank you, brother Jin, Reiko."
"Okay, now it's just a matter of timing."
Jin thinks it would be best to have the emperor's presence as well.
So Jin and the others hurried back to the arena.
In the arena, all the performances had just finished.
The audience is leaving in droves.
The female emperor, who had been seated in the most prestigious section of the auditorium, gets out of her seat and comes down from her seat. She finds Jin and the others.
"Oh, Jin, you were wonderful! Do you have time for me after this?
"Yes, we have time. I have a suggestion.
Oh, what is it?
Since there was no time for standing around talking, the group went to the conference room in the facility.
The group consisted of Emperor Gerhard Hilde von Rubies-Scholo, Chancellor Jung, Minister of Magic and Technology Degauze, and two escort knights, as well as Jin and Erza. And Jin, Erza, Saki and Reiko, Edgar, and Aaru.
"Well, first of all, let's hear what Jin-kun has to say.
The emperor took the urgency of the situation into consideration. Jin bowed and explained about the illness of the Marquis Theoderic.
"So you are saying that Elsa can treat the Marquis?"
"Yes, maybe, but..."
"Yes, maybe, but that's still good news. Bring the Marquis here as soon as possible!
Quick decision. The queen sent one of her knights to fetch the Marquis Theoderic. In about three minutes he arrived, supported by his attendants.
Three minutes later the marquis arrived supported by his attendants. "You wanted to see me, Your Majesty? ...... Oh, Saki!"
The Marquis arrived limping, his face breaking into a smile of joy when he saw Saki.
Erza, on the other hand, turns pale when she sees the marquis. In contrast, Elsa's face turned pale when she saw the Marquis, because he looked nothing like the Marquis she had known.
Erza is shocked to see the once well-dressed Marquis reduced to skin and bones.
Saki had seen the Marquis as she passed him on her way down from the airship, but his face was twisted at the sight of him.
"Grandfather! ...... what's that body of yours?
Saki had been calling him an old man behind his back, but he was still surprised and sincerely worried about his blood relative, his emaciated and gaunt appearance.
"Saki, you are worried about me. "Saki, you are worried about me... I have reached the end of my life, that's all.
The Marquis sat down on the sofa as the Empress suggested, looked at Elsa, and tilted his head.
"Well, do I know you from somewhere? She looks familiar, but I can't remember.
Elsa was wearing a wig and protective glasses.
"Marquis, let's not talk about that later. Lie down there first."
But the Empress interrupted him and ordered him to lie down on the sofa.
The Marquis, who had been adamant about lying down in front of Her Majesty, reluctantly did so when the Empress said, "I order you to lie down.
"Well, then, I'm counting on you," he said.
"...... yes."
Elsa steps forward.
"Miss, what ...... are you doing?"
Elsa interrupted the Marquis as he was about to say this, and began to examine him.
"<>"
Elsa examines the liver area. Her complexion changed.
"...... poison."
"What?"
"...... the marquis's liver has a buildup of poisons."
