After I left Mr. Bacchus.

"Allen, I'm so sorry for the trouble my grandfather caused you. I'm so sorry.

　Rose said, bowing her head.

I just hope you don't take this the wrong way. ....... I'm not a bad person, despite my recklessness.

　She says this with a serious expression.

(...... You care about your grandfather, don't you?)

　Apparently, the family relationship is very good.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I was a little surprised when he came out of nowhere to cut me down. ....... It was a good experience for me, too.

　It's a good thing I'm not the only one.
　I was lucky to have a match with such a great swordsman.
　In fact, I'd consider myself lucky.

"Thank you. That's nice of you to say.

　Rose breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly.

You're looking good, Bacchus. ....... How old are you now?

　He has white-colored hair, eyebrows, and a beard.
　His face is deeply sculpted, with large wrinkles etched into it.

(If you only look at that, he looks much older. ......)

　Her skin looks fresh.
　Muscles like steel, full of vitality.

　Honestly, you can't tell his age at all from his appearance.

Grandpa is my great-great-great-grandfather. ....... No, he was my great-great-great-great-grandfather. ......?　Well, anyway, he must be over two hundred years old at the youngest.

To 「「「「「, two hundred years old! 」」」」」

　We were so shocked by the statement that we couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh, my family has been long-lived for generations.

"Wait, longevity? ......

　I think 200 years old is way beyond the limit of human life. .......

　And while we were dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, Rose. I've been wondering about this for a while now, but is it true that he's the strongest man in the world?

　Leah asked a very good question.
　That's just what I've been wondering too.

It's true. Grandpa was indeed called that once. And in fact, he was incredibly strong. He was truly a 'one-hit wonder' with absolute power beyond the realm of humanity. I can't even imagine him being defeated.

　There was a light of longing in Rose's eyes as she said this.
　It seems that she does not doubt that Bacchus is the strongest swordsman in the world.

But that was a long time ago. Now he's probably not even half as strong as he was in his prime.

Is that so?

　I just crossed swords with him a moment ago, but it didn't seem like it.

"...... Grandfather is suffering from an incurable disease. You can't see it on the outside, but his insides are falling apart. Normally, he would not be able to stand properly. Ten years ago, my family doctor told me that I had only six months to live.

"...... 'Ten years ago' and 'six months to live'?

　That statement was clearly a contradiction.

"I'm sorry, that's a bit of a misstatement. A normal person would have only six months to live. But Grandpa has a strong mind, and most importantly, he has the invincible soul armor that makes him the strongest swordsman. With these two things, he is somehow able to lead his daily life.

(...... invincible soul gear, huh?)

　That's what Rose said.
　It must be something extraordinary.

(The ability to support a body affected by an incurable disease. ...... Strengthening, or is it restorative?　But just now, you created a tree and built a bridge. ....... (What kind of ability is this really? ......?)

　When I was thinking about it like that.

I'm sure you'll agree.

　The chairman of the board, who was walking next to me, kicked and tripped over a tree root.

　I pulled her hand and pulled her body into a quick hug.

I pulled her forward and hugged her quickly. Are you okay, Mr. Chairman?

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

　She muttered in her chest, her cheeks slightly red.

　The next moment.

The next moment.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
