Chapter 2: Serpent Sin of Envy, Diane

This is a tale between humans and beings from another world. It is a story from ancient times. The Holy Knights who protected this country. Used immensely powerful magic. They were both feared and revered. However, there was a group who betrayed their country and turned their blades against the remaining Knights. To the masses, they were known as the "Seven Deadly Sins". Branded as traitors, the sins were forced to disband. For some people, they were known as true heroes for the kingdom. For others, they are bastards who dared to turn against their beloved kingdom.

[Elliot's POV]

After I beat Twigo, I made my way back to the Boar Hat. Elizabeth asked if I was alright to which I responded that there was no need to worry. That apprentice is a joke compared to a real Holy Knight. I asked Meliodas on how we will be able to travel without a horse, he said it was no problem.

"What do you mean there is no problem?!" I shouted in exasperation "We could take days to get to Baste Dungeon on foot."

"Don't worry Elliot, look at this" Meliodas said as the bar started to move a lot. Was it an earthquake, but what I saw next made me blank.

Another pig… but this time, it was a colossal one, it looked exactly like Hawk, but it was green.

"You know what…" I said with a blank expression on my face "I'm not going to even bother asking."

"That's my mother just so you know!" Hawk exclaimed with a proud expression on his face.

Hawk mama then started to move on her own to the next time. I then went upstairs to my room and rest for a while. It's going to be a long day…

"Power" A voice echoed in my dreams.

"Blood" The same voice spoke again.

I was having these dreams since that incident occurred, so it was pretty normal for me to just ignore them, but of course, I couldn't help to think what was the meaning behind them. I mean sure, it could be just a normal nightmare, but the same voice speaking to me every day, in my every sleep? Now that was just weird.

"Hey Elliot, wake up" Meliodas said as he was hitting my head. I slowly opened my eyes as I saw him.

"What?" I let an annoyed groan as I turned to the other side of the bed, facing away Meliodas "I'm sleeping, can you wake me up later? Thank you."

"Nope." Said Meliodas as he kicked the bed, causing me to fall over.

"Really dude?" I said as I slowly got up into my feet as I glared Meliodas who had that annoying smile of his "Alright, you want me up? You got it, what is it."

"Well someone's cranky today." Meliodas chuckled "We're going to Bernia Village to gather some ingredients since you promised to be our bartender… riiiight?" Meliodas let out a cheeky smile… I know where this is going.

"Alright, you got me there. You're lucky I enjoy making that drink." I said as I eventually smiled in return. I didn't promise a thing to him, it just happens that I make the best drinks in all Britannia. I'm not trying to boast or anything, but I used to work on a tavern when I was a child. And I happened to discover a trick to make the best drinks out there. Sure, the ale is popular, and people will prefer ale above all… That's what people say before trying my special.

Of course, that's how I met the sins.

"So many memories come flowing in my mind by just making a simple drink…" I chuckled as I remember the good old days.

"You're right, those really were the days." Meliodas was also remembering as well "Well then, we should go."

"You're right, we shouldn't waste any more time, but I'm putting myself a hood." I said as I grabbed a simple pair of clothes and a robe "After all, I don't think the villages would treat Holy Knights kindly."

"What? Why is that?" Meliodas asked in confusion "Aren't you're supposed to be heroes?"

"…You will soon find out." I sighed in disappointment. It's not like the villagers hate us, in contrary, some of them consider us heroes. But judging by how the Holy Knights are acting lately, I don't think they're going to feel safe around us, plus, there's still an unknown reason on why the Weird Fangs became Holy Knights. Their overall attitudes are just garbage.

"Okay then" Meliodas shrugged "We need to go, Bernia Village is just down the mountain."

"I'll follow." I said as Meliodas left the room. I then changed into some casual townsman clothes. Medium quality shirt and pants, with a green hoodie robe.

"Alright, time to go"

"So, why have you dressed like that again?" I asked Elizabeth, who was wearing a… peculiar outfit. It was a pink shirt that exposed her belly, a black mini skirt, and a black stocking on her left leg, only. I didn't mind, in fact...

Yep, I liked it, thanks Meliodas. Expected from my master pervert himself… I really got much to learn.

"U-um, well Sir Meliodas said that-"

"This is our uniform! What do you think Elliot?" Meliodas interrupted Elizabeth and asked me. Of course, I know what to answer.

"Suits you well Elizabeth!" I said with a thumbs up. Did I do that right?

"Eh! Don't tell me you are like him too!" Hawk glared at me to which I evaded with fake whistling.

"We all drink ale sometimes, and there are various types." Said Meliodas as we were walking "Of course, in Bernia-"

"In Bernia the grouts that grow here are perfect for making ale, which is why Bernia ale is one of the most popular drink in Britannia." I finished Meliodas sentence as I looked at him with amusement "Sorry dude, you're a slow teacher"

Meliodas shrugged as we made into the village, which we found a crowd as soon as we arrived. I found it weird, people in villages don't usually make festivals, they are normally held on the kingdoms.

"Oh, is there a festival right now?" Elizabeth was excited as I sighed knowing how simple-minded she could be.

We went to ask the people if this was a festival. They seemed to know Meliodas, no surprise, he is the bar master that always comes here from some crops. Instead of being friendly to us, they seemed rather frustrated about something, which confused me.

"What's wrong?" asked Meliodas in confusion.

"That damned Holy Knight shoved his sword into the ground." A villager exclaimed in anger as he pointed onto a direction "With that sword on the ground, he cut the rivers current, and now our crops are dying!"

"Huh, so that explains all this ruckus." I added as the villages looked at me with confusion.

"Who is he?" the villager said as he couldn't recognize me thanks to my hood.

"No one you should be concerned about." Meliodas quickly dismissed the subject. Thank The Heavens, I don't want to blow my cover when there is a Holy Knight causing trouble, could cause a big misunderstanding "Now, about that sword-"

"Ha, this nothing for my friend of The Seven Deadly Sins!" A squeaky voice interrupted Meliodas which caused everyone in the village to turn around at the source. It was a kid a little shorter than Meliodas. What got my attention, however, is that he mentioned the Seven Deadly Sins.

"Mead, don't mention the name of those criminals!" A woman exclaimed in concern. I frowned at the mention of the word 'criminals'.

"That's it, we can't irritate The Holy Knights anymore, what do you have against us!" The villagers then started to blame the kid, which caused me to raise an eyebrow. What exactly did he do?

"This isn't what I wanted…" Mead gritted his teeth in frustration as the villagers started to throw him rocks all of sudden. Surprisingly, it landed on Meliodas face… I just tried my best to not break on laughter "I hate you all!"

"We also hate you!" the villagers shouted back.

Meliodas then took the kid to the Boar Hat at very fast speed. Well, I'll be damned, I didn't expect him to get involved in this, then again, that kid did mention that one of his friends is the sins. But come on, kids lie all the time!

I sighed, knowing that we are losing valuable time on just staying here.

"Looks like we came at the wrong time" Hawk said.

"He's a good kid at heart, but…" The old man said as he started to tell us Mead's story. Apparently, a Holy Knight and Bernia Village tried to impress him by giving him their special ale, and he just insulted their drink. Of course, the kid got mad and put a bug on the glass, causing the Knight to do what we're seeing now.

From my point of view, it appears that the kid only wanted attention. It would piss me off too if someone insulted the ale I make! But he had no reason to just put the bug, maybe he was so mad that he didn't think? I couldn't tell, too much thinking for today. Although, he resembles a lot like me when I was a kid, and another one…

"Huh? That kid sounds like a certain someone a know…" I slowly looked at Elizabeth with a teasing smile.

"W-well, you weren't really a saint yourself either" Elizabeth said embarrassed as she remembered the silly things we did as kids. We both chuckled as memories came back.

"Well, there's something I need to take care of." I said while going to the place where the sword was, and I looked at it carefully. Elizabeth and Hawk just stared me in confusion.

"Elliot, what are you doing?" Elizabeth whispered carefully to not reveal my name.

"Can you remove it?" Hawk asked.

I then took the handle of the sword. I felt its magic, it was like… thunder.

I knew whose magic is this.

'Gilthunder…' I thought with a frown. I knew Gil could be a lot of things. Cold, cruel, unfriendly, and many more. But this was just plain evil. There are some questions that need to be answered.

"I can certainly remove it easily." I said causing the two behind me to perk up "It's not like there's too much magic imbued in it."

"Then hurry up and remove it. Geez, I really want to go and eat some leftovers you know?" Hawk said but I shook my head. It's not like I'm cruel of anything.

"And draw attention like crazy? Yeah right, I might be clumsy when I'm not doing something important, but I'm highly trained for a reason, and this is just plain stupid." I said causing the two to sigh, it really is the truth. "Let's go back to the bar, we need to see Meliodas."

The two agreed with me and we eventually made our way back to the bar.

As we entered the bar, Elizabeth took no time and started to scold Mead.

"Mead! You're quite the child are you?" Elizabeth addressed the kid which made the latter look at her with confusion.

"Huh? Are you my mother or something?" Mead questioned.

Elizabeth the knelt down and looked at him in the eye. She then told him the things she did as a child to get the attention of his father. Seriously Elizabeth? You almost killed the king… anyway, apparently that reached the kid's heart as he started to open up a bit.

"I-I also have a story to tell…" Mead said trying to compose himself. Elizabeth then put a hand of his shoulder so he feels safe telling it, and so, he began. He told us that his parents were travelers, and loved them very much, but they died during an epidemic. The villagers of Bernia raised him like family, but of course, he still felt alone, which is why he started to lie a lot to demand attention.

Well if this kid doesn't relate to me with that, I don't know what will.

"Is this why you put a bug in the Holy Knight's drink?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, it's because they were mocking everyone!" Mead snapped, which startled Elizabeth a little. Yeah, it's understandable, calling your all-time work 'horse piss' is like insulting the people's feelings, way to go, Gil…

"Then about that friend that you said it was one of the Seven Deadly Sins…?" Meliodas asked I know he didn't believe it, but it's okay just to be sure.

"Um, I lied about that…" Mead rubbed his head sheepishly.

Told you so.

"That's a bummer, I was getting my hopes up" Meliodas sighed at the failed attempt.

"Why did you even made that lie up?" I asked even if I knew it was just to get attention, but why use the sins? "They're people who are being chased by Holy Knights, right?"

"If they're being chased by Holy Knights who are bad, then they must be good people!" Mead said.

Well, now that's interesting, so this is how people think about of the Holy Knights.

I sighed, really, what really made us sink so deep into selfishness…

"Hmm, hey Mead I think?" I rubbed my chin as I addressed the kid.

"Yes?" he said still uneasy with my hood. I figured there was no harm in removing my hood to him, and so, I did.

"I think you can pull out the sword from that stone." I smiled as I put my hand on his shoulder.

"What? The entire village tried to do it, and failed, how can I possibl-"

"Just go and try, trust me, you can do it." I interrupted the kid causing him to nod slowly as he got up from his seat and left the bar.

Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Hawk stared me with a mixed expression. Elizabeth had a frown on her face, Hawk was angry, and Meliodas was just plain confused.

"Elliot! Why did you say that to him?" Elizabeth was a little bit angry with me.

"A kid like him cannot lift that sword you know?" Meliodas said keeping and neutral expression.

"You're going to make the villagers hate him more!" Hawk exclaimed clearly angry. Yeah, I might have made a mistake, but I know what I was doing.

"Now now there's no need to get so riled up" I put my hands in surrender to calm them down "You might want to see this."

The three then looked at each other before nodding and eventually follow me. This is gonna be fun.

We eventually went to the village again, this time. There were two knights there just molesting the village. No surprise, they're stupid.

"I still don't think this is a good idea…" Hawk sweatdropped as he saw that Mead was going to grab the sword, much to the village confused.

I simply shrugged, they have to watch it to believe it.

"Mead, what are you really going to grab that sword?!" the villagers exclaimed as they were becoming more annoyed at what he was doing "Only a Holy Knight can pull o-"

Their words were interrupted as Mead got the sword out. He struggled a bit first though.

Everyone went completely jaw dropped as they saw something that wasn't possible. A sword that only a Holy Knight could hold was pulled out by a kid. Not to mention that the villagers also tried in groups earlier on. Elizabeth and Hawk had completely shocked expressions.

I think Meliodas already figured it out judging from the neutral expression, before looking at me with a teasing smile.

"You cheeky son of a bi-"

"Wait, but, how, we thought, Mead, what?" Everyone was confused as Mead dropped the sword to the floor. The kid couldn't even believe he had done it, but he did, and that was enough for him to boast.

"Well, looks like I'm very strong!" Mead proudly said. Eventually, the elder of the village spoke.

"Mead, we're sorry…" the elder apologized for everything he had done to him. "Can you forgive us?"

"Forgive… I have no one, how could…" Mead didn't know what to say as he was very embarrassed about the things he has done. I rolled my eyes in annoyance, just go and hug your people dammit. I pushed the kid forward, which caused him to look at me with confusion.

"Go, kid, you've earned it."

Mead eventually started crying as he happily went to hug his 'family'. Couldn't help but feel good that the kid finally united with his family. Meliodas couldn't help but smile

"Well, you can lie all you want but your heart cannot, don't you think?" Meliodas asked.

"That's true." I replied. There was still something that I wanted to take care off.

I then went and grabbed the sword that was still on the floor, then went to the knights that were still shocked about of what had happened.

"Hey there." I said nonchalantly to the knights who looked at me with a frown.

"Who are you and what do you want?" the fat knight demanded.

"Whoa there, you should address your superiors with a little more respect." I said while removing my hood, as I show them my appearance.

"You're… Former Holy Knight Elliot!" The other thin knight said. Which caused them both to tremble with fear. I went a dropped Gil's sword in front of them. "Tell Gil that he still owes me 3 gold coins from that bet."

"W-what?" the two were totally confused about what I said. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Just go, dammit!" I exclaimed causing the two knights to jump in fear, as they went running as they're life's depended on it.

[Nighttime]

"Well, everything appears to be alright…" I sweatdropped as I saw how Elizabeth working as a waitress. Jeez, she might be kind and beautiful, but she is horrible at this job. Hawk would be having the time of his life cleaning leftovers if it wasn't Meliodas's food.

After the sword was removed everyone in Bernia decided to come to the tavern to celebrate. Of course, it was time to make the full potential of Bernia Ale!

"This drink is the best!" some of the already drunk people were already in love with the drink I make. And I only use Bernia ale while adding more sugar and lemons, really simple if you ask me. "You have to tell us your secret Elliot!"

Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention that the villagers didn't recognize me at all, which is why I don't have my hood anymore. Call it strange but that's how it works, I think it's because I'm not wearing my armor.

"Another time" I smiled as I was cleaning the mugs.

Working as a bartender really brings back memories when I was a child. I would never have been able to meet the sins if it wasn't from this.

"Hey Elliot, what did you do to that kid?" Meliodas suddenly asked out of the blue which caused me to almost drop the mug that I was cleaning.

"Shh!" I put my finger on his lips to silence him "I know, I will explain, but can you please speak a little lower?"

Meliodas kept a dull expression but finally nodded.

"Well…" I sighed "I used my magic ability called Blood Rush. It temporarily boosts someone's strength by just touching them, giving them a portion of my magic. Of course, I get weak when I use it."

"Well, that's nice to know, but why did you do it?" Meliodas still didn't understand what I was saying.

"Hmm, that kid is a lot like me when I was a little. Guess I just wanted him to have a moment to shine." I said.

"Oh, okay then." Meliodas shrugged.

I then see that Elizabeth left the bar, probably because she wanted a moment to rest. Well, my shift is over.

"Alright Meliodas, I will go to the sleep." I said as I finally served the final round of my special. Suddenly, I felt a sudden growth of power that was coming to this direction. It seemed destructive, but I was too sleepy to even care.

"Hey Meliodas, can you take care of the package?" I asked him "Don't want to bother too much."

"No problem, I'll go get it." Meliodas said as he was going through the backdoor "Good night!"

"Thanks, make sure to send them a reply." I said as I went upstairs to my room.

"Are you two are just going to leave me alone with the customers?!" shouted the pig.

[The Next Day]

"Well, what do you expect to find here Meliodas?" I asked him knowing that he doesn't have hard evidence to where the heck we're going. "Remember we have to go to Baste Dungeon…"

"Hmm, you're right, we should probably turn back." He shrugged causing me to facepalm, was he seriously stupid or just too careless?

"You said that, but we're really deep inside the forest now!" Hawk snapped. He was right actually.

It was a foggy forest with barren trees. This was The Forest of White Dreams. For some reason, Holy Knights wanted to avoid it. Maybe because of the monsters? I wasn't really sure, but for whatever reason, it was because they lacked valor to actually enter. We were actually deep inside the forest, and thanks to the Pervy Sage right here (who was very busy touching Elizabeth's butt by the way), we were walking aimlessly for an hour.

Now I got a new outfit thanks to Meliodas. He asked the people of Bernia if they could make me one and they gladly accepted it, probably because they loved my special. I had now a black jacket with the dark blue shirt inside, with dark brown pants. The jacket had a Boar Hat symbol on the back which was nice. Overall, I look like an average bartender, which is cool.

"Just great, we came here for nothing." I complained.

"Come on Elliot, we just didn't come for nothing." Meliodas said before he leaned onto my ear before whispering to me some forbidden words.

"You just didn't do that…" I frowned slightly before breaking out in laughter "Hahaha! What should I expect from you honestly?"

"The heck?" Hawk sweatdropped and was extremely confused at what we were saying.

"U-um, what are you two talking about?" Elizabeth was confused before realizing something. 'Huh? They're gone?!'

[Narrator POV]

'Looks like she noticed' Meliodas and Elliot had a mischievous smile on their faces.

"Hey, can you lend me those sometime?" Elliot whispered to the Sin.

"No can do, these are mine!" Meliodas smirked proudly.

"Fuck you."

They were both arguing until suddenly, Meliodas, Elliot, and Hawk didn't just happen to watch one Elizabeth. On the contrary, there more than five of them.

"Wait what just happened?" Elliot blinked his eyes a couple of times. 'Wasn't she just one moment ago?'

"Huh, boob fest." muttered Meliodas.

"Indeed my friend, but this not the time." Elliot said, "I'll just use my abilities to track her and we shouldn't have no pro-"

"Wait, stay out of this one." Meliodas put out his hand to signal Elliot to stop "I got this, so sit out of this one."

Elliot raised an eyebrow but eventually nodded and went to sit back under a tree, with his arms behind his back.

"You're really going to sit back?!" Hawk snapped at Elliot's carelessness about the problem.

"Hey, if this guy says he's got it, then we should trust him, right? Let's just watch the show." Elliot said.

Hawk sighed, he wasn't concerned if Meliodas had it or not. He was concerned if the captain could really maintain his sanity with a group of Elizabeths.

"Huh, what, I'm the real one." Elizabeth said.

"No, I'm the real one." Said another Elizabeth.

And a ruckus started.

Leave human

Leave this forest.

'Great another voice…' Elliot sighed, how many mysterious voices would he had to hear through his entire life was a mystery to him.

"Sir Meliodas~" All Elizabeth started looking for Meliodas.

Meliodas jumped to gain the high ground and was standing on a rock. As he was analyzing the situation, he finally got an idea of what he should do.

"Alright then, I know what to do." Meliodas said to himself.

"Sir Meliodas please, we do anything you would ask." Said all Elizabeths. Their words had perfect timings that it was impossible to verify which Elizabeth was.

"Perfect!" Meliodas exclaimed, "Then, first, I want you to raise your hand."

All Elizabeths complied and raised their hands.

'Too simple.' Elliot thought 'Try something different'

"Say my name with an embarrassed face." Meliodas said.

"Sir Meliodas~" All Elizabeths did so and said his name shyly.

'Alright, now you're just enjoying yourself' Elliot sighed, Meliodas could be like that sometimes.

"Now, massage your bre-"

"Get to the fucking point Meliodas!" Elliot snapped at his master's antics. I mean sure, he is a pervert, but he hasn't reached that level of seeing a woman massaging her breasts and not getting a nosebleed.

Meliodas sighed in disappointment "Aw, I was just starting to have fun." But then smiled "Alright then, jump as high as you can!"

The Elizabeths complied as they all jumped like happy girls. But there was one who didn't jump, and she very embarrassed by something.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it!" the Elizabeth was flustered as she was holding her skirt.

'Wait, wh-' Elliot was confused but then realized something, and thus, he facepalmed 'Never thought that could work…'

Meliodas then quickly took out the jumping Elizabeths fast enough. Then a puff of smoke was revealed, and little tiny things with blue skin and jaws appeared.

'Prankster imps…' Elliot thought with a frown, those things could be annoying really freaking fast. But it appears they were all running back to something.

"Let's follow them!" Meliodas exclaimed as they all started to follow the imps, of course, not before the former gave something to Elizabeth "I think you want this back right?"

Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock as she knew what those were, her underwear.

"So it was you!?" Elizabeth's face got red as a tomato, before proceeding to put them back on.

The imps weren't actually that fast for the heroes, they were hopping like ninjas sure, but that's nothing compared to Meliodas's speed and Elliot's sight.

What caught the attention the most is that the imps were going to a sleeping girl.

"No way, they're going to attack a sleeping little girl? Elizabeth gasped as she thought how cruel can those imps could be.

"I don't think that's a little girl, Elizabeth…" Elliot narrowed his eyes at the target. He appeared to recognize her.

"What are you talking ab-" Hawk was going to speak until he saw that the image of this 'little girl' started to get bigger until he and Elizabeth realized something.

"A giant?!" they were both surprised.

"Hey, Meliodas, is that her?" Elliot asked Meliodas who had a neutral expression on her face.

"Yep, she is…" Meliodas replied.

"Lady Diane, Lady Diane! Wake up, some Holy Knights entered the forest!" The imps pleaded.

[Elliot POV]

Wow, I've never seen Diane since they left the kingdom. She still looked as beautiful as ever. Now that I think of it, she hasn't changed a bit since she left… probably because of the Giant clan slow aging. Will she recognize me?

Diane had brown hair with two tails, a leather suit for all of her body, except for her legs. She had the serpent tattoo on her left leg. And her legs had boots… and, did I said legs? Pretty sure I did that…

Diane then woke up instantly and stood up. Damn, I forgot how colossal she is, I think she is bigger than Hawk Mama. She then glared at us with those beautiful purple eyes of her.

Uh oh, she thinks we've come to capture her…

"Huh, are you Holy Knights?" Diane said not taking her eyes off us.

"No, you're mistaken, we're definitely not Holy Knights!" Elizabeth exclaimed worried that she might get crushed. Understandable, I would've been scared too if I didn't know her. She then quickly snatched Meliodas, which I could see. Hawk and Elizabeth realized later.

Diane then lifted Meliodas to the point where he is in front of her face. Diane then looked at Meliodas.

"Yo, Diane." Meliodas said casually.

Diane blinked a few times before realizing who was grabbing, the frown of her face disappeared and was replaced with a big smile.

"Captaincaptaincaptaincaptaincaptaincaptain!" Diane gently rubbed Meliodas onto her face. "I missed you so much over these years!"

"Captain?" Elizabeth was confused on why did Diane called Meliodas like that, so I had to do the explaining.

"Oh yeah, this is Serpent Sin of Envy, Diane." I said making Elizabeth and Hawk look at me with shock.

"What?!" Elizabeth and Hawk exclaimed in disbelief, gaining the attention of the giant.

"Captain! You remembered how much I love pig roast and brought me one!" Diane exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey wait I'm not food!" Hawk snapped but was quickly grabbed by Diane. It appears it's time to introduce myself. Hope I don't die.

"If you eat that pig you won't get my special drink that you love Diane!" I shouted so that she could hear me.

Worst introduction ever by the way.

"Huh?" she then turned around to me and grabbed me. I didn't mind, hope she takes her time to recognize me.

[Narrator's POV]

'Blue hair, Brown eyes, and a special drink…?' Diane thought confused as she had Elliot on her right hand, and Meliodas on her left.

"If you take more time I'll put a bug on that drink you know?" Elliot said causing Diane to shiver from the word 'bugs'

This time, Diane's face lit up a few people know about her fear of bugs. Only the Sins and a kid she met in the past know.

"Elliot!" Diane exclaimed, not as exciting as she did with Meliodas, but still, she lightly rubbed Elliot against her cheek, which the latter didn't mind at all. She then put Elliot and Meliodas down "You've gotten big, and very strong!"

"What, you noticed?" Elliot was confused on how Diane could feel how strong is he without showing any power.

"Yeah, first time I could grab you without breaking one of your bones"

Elliot and Diane shared a laugh as the former remembered how Diane tried to hug him when he was a little kid and almost got crushed in the process.

"Well yeah, it appears I did stronger" Elliot said.

"And who is the girl?" Diane asked innocently while looking at Elizabeth's interesting outfit.

"Nice to meet you, Lady Diane. I'm Elizabeth and I'm traveling together with Sir Meliodas." Elizabeth introduced herself.

"Oh, is that so?" Diane looked at Meliodas for a little bit.

"Yeah, anyway we ha-"

Meliodas couldn't finish speaking as he was instantly thrown over with incredible strength by Diane.

Elliot raised an eyebrow on what was happening, he knew that this happened a lot between them. He sighed, one girl that he doesn't want to get jealous would be Diane if that… ever happens.

Diane, they fell to his knees and cried.

"And I'm back with the man I love and he is suddenly traveling with another a woman…" Diane sniffed.

"Hey now..." Elliot climbed onto Diane's shoulder to console her "If you stop crying I will go hunting a pig for you to eat, okay?"

"You what?!" Hawk snapped at Elliot's offering.

Diane immediately stopped crying as he turned to Elliot with star-shaped eyes. "You promise?"

"It would be tiring, but anything for a friend."

"Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou." Diane grabbed Elliot and started to rub her cheeks against the blue hair. Again, he didn't mind. Diane then puts Elliot down.

"Well, now that that's over, we should probably head back to the-"

"Whoa there, first we have to explain the situation to Diane, Meliodas" Elliot stopped Meliodas which had the latter thinking for a bit.

"Huh, guess you're right." Meliodas said.

Elliot explained to Diane that he became a Holy Knight after all of the Sins scattered. Which Elliot quickly saying that he's on their side and doesn't need to worry. He then told her that not so long ago, he and Elizabeth were looking for the Sins to put a stop to the Holy Knights, and bring peace to the kingdom.

"Huh, that was quite the story." Diane said, "So I'll tag along."

"Thanks, Diane." Meliodas said with a smile.

"That will certainly help." Elliot added with a smile on his own.

"Thank you, Lady Diane." Elizabeth smiled as well, but it only caused her to get a glare from the giant.

"Thank god, we can now live in peace here…" the imps said while they were hiding on a rock, shivering in fear. "Lady Diane said she will go in a rampage if we didn't help her."

"When did you guys get there?" Elliot questioned in confusion.

"You guys had it rough, huh?" Meliodas said.

"Anyway, when do we leave?" Diane said

"Well, now apparently, we have nothing to do here." Elliot said that

"Hey look at that!" Hawk explained pointing at the sky with his ear.

'Thunderclouds' Elliot thought with a frown. It wasn't your usual thunderclouds that you see in the rain, these bunch seemed to be created, by magic.

'There is only one person who's able to create thunder like that.' Elliot sighed 'And he still owes me money.'

Chapter 2 is done! Feel free to tell me your thoughts in reviews and I'll make sure to answer.

Also, tell me your thoughts on Elliot's relationship with the Sins, is it fine? Or do you think it doesn't make sense?
