Chapter 272. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [43]

Bacchus-san, who talked about the purpose of the hermit of time, turned a sharp glance towards me for some reason.

I felt an indescribable pressure from him, and tried to move along the conversation.

「Child of Destruction?」

「Aa, yes. A child of fate with the terrible power to destroy the order and balance of the world and turn the world “upside down”. The hermit of time is searching for that child in a frenzy.」

「What is the hermit of time going to do when he finds the Child of Destruction?」

「Who knows, I wasn’t told beyond that. Because it is something I heard a very long time ago.」

He said, scratching his head.

「Which means, there is someone else who knows more details about the 100 Million Year button?」

「Yeah. However, it feels so nostalgic now. He was a strange man who knew about all sorts of things.」

Bacchus-san began to talk slowly with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

「About 150 years ago, I went on a warrior’s journey to find a swordsman stronger than myself. At that time, I was at my prime, possessing substantial physical strength and vitality. Those days, when I swung my sword, the seas parted in two, the skies tore apart, tens of thousands of swordsmen fell! I was the very definition of invincible and brute valour! Bararararara!」

He laughed heartily while speaking of his heroic tales.

「Tens of thousands of people?」

Isn’t that a little too exaggerated?

「It is all true! In all my life, I have never lied!」

He patted me on the back and continued on.

「While I was wandering around every corner of the world, I met a certain swordsman at the Principality of Teresia. He was a young man with a slender build, but his swordsmanship was terrifyingly sharp. Even after cutting at each other for three days and three nights without a rest, we never reached a conclusion. Even now when I close my eyes, I can remember it like it happened just yesterday. I really enjoyed that sword fight.」

On par with prime Bacchus-san… It seems that this swordsman was at an unbelievable “height”.

「After that, we became friends and traveled together for a while. He said he was looking for “strong companions” to accomplish his “ambition”. He was a strange man who knew about all sorts of things for his age. And I heard various stories from him during our travels such as the hermit of time, the 100 Million Year button, the transcendents, and also about phantom beasts and demons. Well, in other words, all the things I just told you were something that my friend told me about.」

Bacchus-san concluded the conversation with that.

「I see. Was that so? 150 years ago would mean that your friend has passed away, right?」

I thought this was the chance to learn about the hermit of time and the 100 Million Year button that have been shrouded in mystery up to now, but…

(Logically speaking, there’s no way humans can live up to 200 years like Bacchus-san.)

And when I dropped my shoulders dejectedly,

「Nope, he’s still alive. I haven’t got to see him lately, but sometimes he sends me some “unsettling news”.」

Bacchus-san said those words nonchalantly.

「H-He is still alive? P-Please tell me that person’s name!」

「Ah, I don’t mind. His name is Ba-」

The moment Bacchus-san started–

「Excuse me, Allen. My body soap seems to be completely dissolved. Can I borrow yours for a second?」

Sebas-san interrupted from the side with a troubled look.

「Ah, yes. Please take… mine!?」

It took a few good seconds to sink in.

「S-Sebas-san!?」

「Yo, it’s been a while.」

To my left was one of the Emperor’s Four Knights, Sebas Chandler, who once served as vice president of the student council of Thousand Blade Academy.
