Ohno`s preceding Comment [Phys. Rev. B 52, 6127 (1995)] was based on experimental raw spectra of copper {ital L} x-ray emission. The Cu {ital L} x-ray emission spectra were, however, heavily smeared by the self-absorption effect, which was a source of contradiction. The electronic structure of divalent copper oxide was calculated placing one core hole and two 3{ital d} holes, with the result that the spectator 3{ital d} holes were delocalized in the adiabatic limit. This implies that the spectator 3{ital d} hole produced by the {ital L}{sub 1,2}{ital L}{sub 3}{ital M}{sub 4,5} Coster-Kronig transition preceding the {ital L}{sub 3}-{ital M} x-ray emission will be mostly delocalized at the time of the {ital L}{sub 3}-{ital M} x-ray emission, and thus the spectator satellite will be weaker than is expected for the free atom. Ohno did not consider this delocalization, which was another source of contradiction.
