When they arrived at the city of Windnights--- when Jonathan Joestar,
Will A. Zeppeli and that man Speedwagon arrived, it was when the burns I had
suffered from Jonathan had healed for the most part.
In a way, they were a bit late, but as I had yet to completely take that city
under my control, one could say they were very much in time. Either their timing
was good or their luck was good.
When we confronted each other, Jonathan said this.
"Dio...... Listen to what I have to say.
"I am ashamed of this as a gentleman, but in all honesty, I, Jonathan
Joestar......
"For the sake of settling the score...!
"Dio! I will kill you!"
When I heard this gesture of defiance, the majority of my heart said
"Ridiculous! but I feel I must write in this notebook, the small remainder felt joy.
That Jonathan--- the fact that I made that man, Jonathan, who had
always lived with the idea of being a gentleman in his heart, say such a thing
made me feel some feeling of accomplishment.
This was certainly a time when I felt like I had accomplished something.
However, compared to Jonathan, I was a bit weak.--- Compared to
Jonathan, my amount of "resolve" was a bit lesser then.
If it is a good time to "speak honestly if I am to be honest, I had some
feelings that I did not want to lay violent hands on Jonathan.
I felt I had to kill him--- the assets of the Joestar family which I had been
trying to usurp had already all been burned away and even if I killed Jonathan
now, I would likely not have inherited the Joestar family anyhow. But as he had
learned the ways of the Ripple and was now getting in my way, I knew full well
that I had to kill him.
But I had intended to leave eliminating him to my subordinates.
