255. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [26]

I gasped at the shocking words from Bacchus-san.

(W-What does this mean!?)

“100 Million Years Button” is a closely-guarded secret that only a handful of people should know of.

And yet… How on earth does he know that?

(By any chance, is Bacchus-san a transcendent?)

Looking at his physical abilities beyond human domain, and swordsmanship which is sharpened to utmost limits, it is a very likely possibility.

(The other party is Rose’s grandfather, so I guess it’s alright even if I talk about it. No, but Leia-sensei said not to say a thing about it.)

When I was scratching my head over that,

「I see. I understand very well from your reaction, kid. You are a transcendent who has overcome the curse of the “100 Hundred Million Years Button”, and that somebody has forbidden you from speaking.」

He said in a small voice.

Since he has guessed accurately up to this point, it is not possible to deceive him any longer.

「Yes, it is as you say.」

「Well, I guessed so. Your hand is far too complete. You can’t get this hand – the hand of a fine swordsman – just by training for ten or twenty years. Which means, there is only one other possibility. You must have used the “100 Million Years Button” created by the hermit of time.」

After Bacchus-san described his conclusion at length, he brought his powerful face closer.

「Well then, kid. How long did you wield your sword in that hellish world? 500 years? 1000? Or did you perhaps exceed the barrier of “10,000”?」

「Let’s see… I don’t remember it very accurately, but it’s roughly about a billion years.」

I answered honestly.

「B-Billion years… you say? No way, did you push that button many times!?」

He shook his head, not being able to believe it. His eyes widened greatly.

「Y-Yeah, I did…」

I almost lost my mind a few times along the way, but…

Even still, I frantically continued to swing my sword and finally cut apart the “Prison of Time”.

「Ba-Barararara! To think that you spammed that 100 Million Years Button… Unbelievable! That steel-like willpower to wield your sword earnestly for over a billion years – truly, no word is enough to praise you! No wonder, you have still kept your reason while housing such a monster inside you!」

「T-Thank you?」

For some reason, I was praised.

「But for wielding the sword for a billion years… Your growth is rather lacking…」

Bacchus-san turned a sharp look at me as though assessing.

「Ahahaha… How do I say this…. I don’t have any talent at all, so maybe that’s the case.」

I don’t have the talent for swordsmanship – to the point where even I feel pity for myself.

(…It’s still the same even right now.)

Even after devoting the preposterous time of billions of years all into training, I am only somewhat managing to stand on par with the “Geniuses” around me.

And when I dropped my shoulders,

「No, that’s not it. In fact, your sword muscles are not that bad. But in my eyes, it looks like there is “something” which inhibits your growth – something squirming around in the core of your body. I wonder if it’s just my imagination?」

Bacchus-san stared at my chest and muttered something.

「…Well, nevermind. I’ll also advise you just in case. You should not talk too much about the 100 million-year button. Because there are those who are looking for transcendents in a frenzy – to get to the hermit of time.」

「Thank you for your advice.」

As expected, the 100 Million Years Button is not something which should be made public after all.

「By the way, is Bacchus-san a–」

And when I tried to ask a question this time,

「Good grief, how long are you men going to hold hands with each other?」

Rose, who seemed a little astonished, muttered so with a sigh.

Come to think of it, I’ve certainly left everyone behind and indulged in talking to Bacchus-san alone.

「Barabara! My bad, my bad, the kid had a nice hand is all!」

Bacchus-san raised a big laugh, and then…

「So, are you all Rose’s friends, too?」

To avoid unnecessary prying, he quickly turned to Ria and the others.

「Y-Yes. My name is Ria Vesteria.」

「I am Sie Arcstria. I am getting along well with Rose-san at Thousand Blade Academy.」

「I’m Lilim Tsuorine. Nice to meet you!」

「I am Ferris Magdalot. Pleased to meet you though!」

Everyone introduced themselves politely.

「Ria, Sie, Lilim, Ferris… Alright, I’ve remembered all your names. Well, if you’re the friends of my precious granddaughter, then I have to make sure to welcome you. I’ll take you to my house! Come, follow me! Although, there’s nothing really there! Barararara!」

He laughed heartily and began to walk with long strides.

(I’ll have to talk about this in detail with him later.)

The hermit of time and the 100 Million Years Button which has been shrouded in mystery for a long time.

Maybe Bacchus-san knows “something” that I don’t.
