With Rose's guidance, we flew through the air and arrived at Mr. Bacchus' house in less than ten minutes.

"Oh, this is a magnificent house. ......!

　I said to myself.

"You won't find a more powerful house in all of Vestalia. ......!

"Well, that's cool ....... I'm not sure if it's the austerity or the depth, but ...... it's just so vibrant!

　I'm not sure what to say.

　It's a big wooden house that stands out in front of you.
　But it is much different from those often seen on the streets of Cherin in terms of dignity and dignity.

　The black pillars that radiate their presence on all sides are thick, and above all, they remind us of the power of nature.
　The huge gate, the size of Bacchus, was majestic and powerful.

　In addition, right in front of the gate was a hundred-million-year-old cherry tree in full bloom.
　The view could not be better than this.
　It was no wonder he was so proud.

I'm glad you like it. This is the house that my family has lived in for generations. It is said to be over a thousand years old.

「「「「「 It's a thousand years old. ......? 」」」」」

　When we heard Rose's explanation, we gulped.

I'm sure you're right. But I miss it. ....... It's been five years since I left this house. ......

　She gently stroked the pillar of the house with a distant look in her eyes.

I'm back.

"Grandfather, I'm back.

　Rose opened the front door.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you!　Come on, come to the living room!

　Mr. Bacchus' loud voice came from the back of the house.

　Then we followed Rose down a long hallway and opened the side door at the end.

　We walked down the long corridor, followed by Rose, and opened the door at the end of the corridor to reveal a large living room that was more than twenty tatami mats in size.

"Well, well, well!　You're the first friends Rose has brought. Let's give them a big welcome!

　An oversized chair was placed at the far end of the room. He sat down on it and slurped down a bottle of liquor with gusto.

(Hospitality is ...... "this," isn't it ......?

　In the center of the room is a long table with a large number of liquor bottles and liquor knobs.

"Oh, ......, is this ......?

It's booze and snacks.

It's ......, right?

　I know it when I see it.

"Meat at 100,000 gourd per gram. "A hundred thousand gourd meat, a million gourd wine. I've eaten and drunk all kinds of things, but ....... I've eaten and drunk everything there is to eat and drink, and the cheapest liquor back home costs only a thousand golds a bottle. Now, come on, don't be shy, give it a shot!

　Mr. Bacchus told me this story and laughed in a good mood. He laughed.

Haha. ....... We are still minors.　We're still minors, aren't we?

"Hmm?　Don't be so formal!　First of all, when I was little...

"No, no, no.

　Rose said, quickly collecting the bottles on the desk.

"Look, Rose, ....... Drinking is one of the few things Grandpa enjoys. Don't you miss it ......?

"Huh, ........ You're old enough to take care of yourself.

　I'm sure you'll agree.

"Oh, ......?

　She grabbed the bottle from Bacchus.

(Haha, they're really close, aren't they?)

　(They are really close, aren't they?) He looked so big, but at this moment, he was just an ordinary old man.
　From the looks of it, the two of them must have a strong bond of trust.

It's been a long time since we've seen each other. ....... You're as harsh as ever. ......

　Bacchus whined and took a bite of the thick salami on the desk.

"I'm sorry, guys. I'll get you some tea now, just sit back and wait.

　Rose said, leaving the living room with a large bottle of wine.

　A few seconds later.

"Okay, he's gone.

　Mr. Bacchus smiled suspiciously, "Just as planned.

"Now, I'm going to show you guys something very special!

　He said confidently, and took out a thick book from the cupboard.

What's that, ......?

Yes, it's ........ It is, as they say, the most precious thing in the world.



　Mr. Bacchus let out a deep breath and gently stroked the book in his hand.
　Apparently, it was quite important.

"Hmmm. ....... Okay, time to open it.

　He took a few deep breaths to compose himself, and then slowly turned the cover.

"This is ......?

"Hmm, surprised?　This is a picture of Rose on her third birthday. She's as cute as an angel, isn't she ......?

　There was a picture of Rose smiling in front of a birthday cake, very cute.
