I gulped when I received Bacchus's shocking statement.

(What the hell is going on, .........?

The "100 Million Year Button" is supposed to be a top-secret secret known only to a select few.
　So how in the world does ...... he know about it?

(Maybe Mr. Bacchus is also a transcendent?).

　(Is Bacchus also a transcendent?) His physical abilities are beyond human, and his swordplay has been sharpened to an extreme level.
　It's a very real possibility.

(The other party is Rose's grandfather, is it safe to say that ......?　No, but Leia-sensei said, "Don't tell anyone." (......)

　As I was pondering like this.

I see, now that's a good response. I see now that the boy is a transcendent being who has overcome the curse of the 100 million year button, and that he is being kept quiet by someone.

　He said it clearly in a small voice.

　You can't fake it anymore if you've guessed so accurately.

...... Yes, that's right.

"Well, I suppose you're right. The boy's hands are too (・・・・) finished (・・・・・). The boy's hands are too () finished (). Ten or twenty years of age will not be enough to make them such fine 'swordsman's hands'. So, there is only one possibility. He must have used the 100 million year button created by the Immortal of Time.

　Mr. Bacchus rambled on with his thoughts, then brought his powerful face close to mine.

"So, kid. I'm sure you're not the only one.　Is it 500 or 1,000?　Have you crossed the 10,000 mark?

"Yes, ....... I don't remember exactly, but I'd say about a billion years.

　I'll be honest with you.

When I answered honestly, he said, "Jeez, 'billions' ......?　You didn't press the ...... button more than once, did you?

　He shook his head in disbelief, his eyes black and white.

Yeah, yeah, .......

　I almost lost my mind a few times on the way to the .......
　But still, I swung my sword with all my might and finally sliced through the Prison of Time.

I'm not going to be able to do that.　I didn't expect you to keep hitting that 100 million year button. ...... It's beyond my imagination!　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this.　It's no wonder you're able to retain your reasoning with such a monster in your body!

"Oh, thank you, ......?

　Somehow, I've been praised with open arms.

But for billions of years of wielding a sword, you're not growing ...... fast enough.

　Bacchus gave me a sharp look as if he was judging me.

I'm not sure what to say. I don't know what to say about that ........ I'm not sure if it's because I have no talent at all,.......

　I had no talent for swordsmanship - so much so that I was ashamed of myself.

(......I still do.)

　I'm not sure what to say.
　I've spent all of that time training, and I've only managed to keep up with the other geniuses around me.

　And if you let your shoulders slump, you can say.

No, that's not true. No, you're not. Your sword is not bad. However, it seems to me that there is something (・・・・) stirring deep within the boy's body that is (.......) inhibiting his (・・・・) growth. Hmm, was it my imagination or ......?

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

...... Well, that's all right. I'm going to give you a heads up as well, just in case. I'd better not tell anyone about the 100 million year button. There are people out there who are looking for the transcendent, the hermit of time.

"Thank you for your advice.

　After all, the 100-million-year button is not something that should be made public.

By the way, what about you, Mr. Bacchus?

　And just when I was about to ask my own question.

"How long are you guys going to hold hands with each other?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

　If you ask me, it's true that we've been talking for quite a while, leaving everyone behind.

I'm sorry.　Sorry, sorry, the kid had too good a hand!

　Mr. Bacchus let out a loud laugh.

"So, are you guys Rose's friends, too?

　In order to avoid unnecessary scrutiny, he quickly turned to Leah and her friends.

"Yes, I am. My name is Leah-Vesteria.

I'm Cee-Arcustria. I'm a good friend of Rose's at the Thousand Blade Academy.

Lilim-Tuorine. Nice to meet you!

Ferris Magdaloort. It's nice to meet you.

　Ria and the others introduce themselves politely.

"Well, Leah, Shi, Lilim and Ferris. ...... I got it. I've learned them all. Now, if they're friends of my granddaughter, I'll have to entertain them. I'm going to take you to my house!　Now, follow me!　It's ......, but it's in the middle of nowhere!



　He laughed merrily and began to walk with great strides. He laughed happily and began to walk with his big toe.

(I'll have to tell you more later. ......)

　(I'll have to tell you more about that later.) The hermit of a hundred million years of buttons and time has always been a mystery to me.
　Perhaps Mr. Bacchus knows something more than I do.
