The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

「My〈Jewel Beetle Head〉is a soul dress which specializes in “invisibility”, but… as expected of Leia-sama, I didn’t think to be so easily detected.」

A man in black suddenly appeared from the gap between the dense trees far behind.

(A soul dress which specializes in invisibility, huh… It’s the first time I’m seeing one.)

I didn’t feel any presence until the moment he released his soul dress and showed himself.

Although it is not suitable for frontal combat, it is a good ability that can be used for a wide range of purposes such as assassination, scouting, and hit-and-run attacks.

(Even so, it’s still amazing…)

The invisibility of the man in the black suit was amazing, but Leia-sensei who saw through it in an instant is even more amazing.

Usually, she is a person who doesn’t take paperwork seriously and has somewhat of a twisted personality. When it comes to “battle”, however, she is truly reliable.

「That uniform… you’re from “Fox Finance”, right? What business do you have here?」

「I have been waiting for Rose Valencia at the behest of my employer, Rize Dorahain.」

The black suit man raised both hands up, slowly advanced towards Rose without any hostility – and bowed deeply.

「Silver hair and crimson eyes… You are Rose-sama, yes?」

「…What business does a messenger of the “Bloody Fox” have with me?」

In contrast to Rose who was very cautious, the black suit man stated his business in an indifferent tone.

「My employer is greatly indebted to Bacchus-sama, and has taken this occasion to repay it. She prepared a tombstone suitable for “the strongest swordsman in the world”, pushed for the purchase of this island from the state, and decided to hand it over to Rose-sama, the legitimate successor of the Sakura Blossom One-Sword Style. With this, my duty will be fulfilled. This is the title deed to the island. Please accept this.」

The black suit took out an envelope. It contained the island’s title deed, and the owner’s column read Rose Valencia.

「W-Wait a minute… Was my grandfather and the Bloody Fox acquainted with each other!? More importantly, what do you mean “indebted”?」

「I apologize. I am just a messenger, I am not informed of any details.」

The man in black suit said, in a monotonous tone.

「I have another duty ahead, so I shall take my leave here.」

After offering a reverent bow, he quietly left the place.

「I see, it’s a repayment of Ferris’s case.」Leia-sensei muttered.

「”Ferris’s case”… Do you know something?」Rose asked.

「Yeah. Rize’s sister, the current director of Ice King Academy, Ferris Dorahain. When that idiot was still a student, she got involved in a big incident, and was abducted. The person who saved her was old man Bacchus. “There was a swordsman who seemed to be strong, so I approached him for a match… but surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.” he said in a disappointed tone.」

……Well, that does sound like Bacchus-san.

「I don’t really like Rize, but… she’s a woman who wouldn’t lie about this. This magnificent grave and land title deed is most likely her way of repaying the debt.」

「I see… Then I have to thank her.」Rose said.

Rize-san is a kind person, after all.

It is unthinkable that she betrayed the Five Great Powers and the Holy Knights Association, and diverted information to the Holy Ronelia Empire.
