256. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [27]
Bacchus-san said,?I’ll guide you to my house?and walked along the coast.
(…Eh? I’m sure this was supposed to be an “isolated island”.)
I am certain because we flew around in a glider just a little while ago.
This island is a very small isolated island surrounded by the sea.
(As far as I observed from the sky, there was nothing like a house. So where is his house?)
Having that question in my mind, I decided to ask openly.
?Bacchus-san, is your house near here??
?Aa, it’s right there. My house was built in the southern part of the “mainland”. A wooden single-story house – quite old, but it has the absolute best view. Right in front of it, you can see the Hundred Million Year Sakura in full bloom all year round! There is no better spot in all of Cherin!?
He said, and puffed his chest with pride
Apparently, Bacchus-san’s house is on the mainland of Cherin.
?I see. But then… How did you get to this island??
?Nn? You ask something odd again. That is, of course – on foot. I walked to this island. There is a “secret place” where fish gather on this island. I come here often to fish for both hobby and profit.?
He said, and showed off his fishing rod.
?Walked here…? I heard that this is an isolated island surrounded by the sea.?
Is there a “secret road” that only the people of Cherin know of?
(… No. But as far as I could see from the sky a little while ago, there wasn’t any such road.)
And Rose, who lived in this country in the past, clearly said that this is an isolated island.
(What does this mean…?)
Bacchus-san laughed happily as I tilted my neck.
?Barararara, this is an isolated island, you say? What on earth are you talking about? Look over there!?
Where he pointed towards, there was a wooden bridge over there.
It was a huge jet-black bridge. Looking like the root of a tree.
?E-Eh….? That… is not supposed to…?
When I doubted my eyes,
?What’s the matter, kid? You look confused.?
Bacchus-san twisted his deeply wrinkled face and asked me worriedly.
(Oh, I see.)
When I saw that face, it struck home immediately.
?The power of soul dress, isn’t it??
?Bararara, indeed! That’s a good guess?
He said, and clapped me on the back.
Apparently, this enormous bridge was built by Bacchus-san’s ability.
(This bridge is a huge black tree. That means the “ability to manipulate trees” huh… No, there are no such huge trees around here… Then, is it the “ability to create new trees”?)
When I was thinking over his unknown ability,
?Well, come to think of it… How on earth did you all come to this island? This is not a place where humans other than me can enter so easily…?
Bacchus-san asked a question similar to the one I just had.
?We came from the sky on a ultra-small plane called a ‘glider’.?
?G-Glider!? I see. The “machine” from rumours.?
He groaned with a difficult expression.
It seems that he is not so knowledgeable about machine related things.
?Well then… I will return ahead and prepare for the welcome. You guys go collect the glider thingy, and then come slowly. Rose, can you guide them there??
?Yes, I understand.?
Rose nodded and agreed to Bacchus-san’s request.
?All right, I’ll see you later!?
He said, and crossed the bridge built by his ability.
Then we started moving to collect the gliders.
