When I introduced myself politely,
「I’m Bacchus Valencia. The 16th legitimate successor of Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style and the “World’s Strongest Swordsman”. Yoroshiku, Allen… yo.」
He said in a loud voice, and held out his rock-like right hand.
「It is I who should say so, nice to meet you.」
I held his hand tightly and we shook hands.
Bacchus Valencia.
He seems to be in his mid-fifties.

A giant build of over two meters and steel-like muscles.
Short white hair that is swept back.
A beautifully kempt white beard asserts its presence around his mouth.
What is particularly impressive is the black “sakura pattern” that stands out on the left side of his chest.
His top is a long white haori drawn with a flurry of sakura petals, and his bottom is simple black trousers.
An immense pressure was emitted from the large sword fastened at his waist.
(But man, what a strong hand.)
It’s bulkier and stronger than anybody I’ve ever gripped.
(I’m sure he’s devoted himself to swordsmanship for an incredibly long time.)
When I was thinking of that,
「I-Impossible…」
Bacchus-san muttered with a grim expression.
「W-What’s the matter?」
「Kid, this hand… How many years have you been wielding your sword?」
In response to the sharp question that he threw at me suddenly,
「Well, um… About ten years.」
I returned a vague answer.

「Bararara, it’s no use playing dumb. You can cheat many others with that, but it won’t work on me. I can see it – the weight of countless years that are accumulated in this hand of yours!」
Bacchus-san came up with almost the same words Rose once said at the Sword Festival.
(…I’m in trouble.)
Leia-sensei told me not to say a word about the 100 million-year button and the hermit of time.
Even if I told him such an absurd story, he would surely not believe me in the first place.
(Now, how do I get through Bacchus-san’s questioning?)
When I was wracking my head over that,
「Kid, are you perhaps a “transcendent” who broke the curse of the “100 million years button”?」
「……!?」
He said something unbelievable while narrowing his crimson pupils.
