The night that Subaru was fearful for his life had passed and a new, hopefully better day, has arrived. This day seemingly looked great. A cloud was nowhere in sight. The sun radiated a warm energy. Birds flow in the air. As a small blue bird flapped around, it saw a large mansion and a man in red clothes walking out of the front door of said mansion. He was accompanied with another boy, as will as a young blue haired girl. The goliath told the two, "I really can't believe you talked me into this, Natsuki."

"Come on, Ban. We've been in that mansion for days. Don't you wanna explore this world too," Subaru asked his pal.

"No, not really. From the shot I've seen, there's nothing that can surprise me anymore."

"Really!? Than you must have seen crazy stuff before," Subaru said.

"Of course I fucking did, that's the good side of being immortal. I get to see cool shit and live to talk about it."

"Can I ask you a question, Ban," Rem asked.

"Yeah, sure. What's it?"

"How are you immortal?"

"*Sigh* This shit again, like I told Natsuki, it's from drinking from the Fountain of Youth."

"Fountain of...Youth," Rem said with some confusion in her tone, "I never heard of such a thing."

Ban snickers, "Can't say I'm surprised. Anyway, what are we even supposed to get?"

"Fruits, valuables, and some meat."

"That's not what I—you know what, never mind."

"Okay."

The three kept having short intermissions of conversations all the way to the village that they were approaching. When they finally got there, Ban decided that it might be a nice time to ask any of the people about any rumors or anything information that could help him find his friends.

He walked up to one of said villagers and said as followed, "Hey, I'll like to ask you something."

"Sure, what is i-," the man stopped talking as he turned around to see a giant glomming over him.

His eyes showed he was intimidated by the Fox sin.

"C-can I help you with anything?"

"Yeah, have you seen or heard of anything about a short, blond boy who looks like kid lately."

"Hm~no."

"Okay, than have you lately hard of anything about a woman whose nine hundred in fifth teen centimeters tall whose wearing a orange suit?"

"Umm...yes, actually. yesterday someone said they saw a woman who is taller than any giant seen before."

So Diane's here too, Ban thought to himself.

"Okay, now have you heard of anything about a skinny, orange haired, kinda short looking kid."

"No, but I do remember that there was what looked like a kid who was with that woman."

That's better than nothing, I guess, Ban thought again. However, before Ban was going to ask another question relating to Gowther, Subaru butted in and said, "Hey, Ban."

The sin sighed and turned to look at the seventeenths year old. "What do you want, Natsuki?"

"One of the kids wants you to give them a piggy back ride."

"What!? Hell no. I'm not doing that."

"Come on. I told them be and you r were friends so help a friend out," Subaru whispered to Ban.

"Yeah~ no."

"Please."

"You haven't even rewarded me for saving your ass yesterday and you're already asking me for another favor."

Subaru did a sad face and said, "Alright. I guess I'll have to tell them they can't."

"If you're trying to guilt trip be, it ain't gonna work."

Subaru scattered away from Ban and than Rem walked to Ban. "And what do you want, Rem."

"I wanted to tell you that I'm sore for wha happened yesterday."

"Yeah no problem. I'm used to being mistaken as the enemy more times than I can count."

"I would say I am surprised but you look like that type with that scar and nasty look you show to people."

"Aw~ thank you," Ban said, taking it as a compliment.

This really confused Rem as she did not expect Ban to say that.

"You are welcome."

"OWH!"

Ban heard Subaru quick cry and he sighed. He walked over to Subaru and the kids. "And what happened to you, Natsuki," Ban asked.

"Oh Ban, nothing. The puppy just bit me a little."

"And yet, you sounded like a girl."

"Hey!"

Ban started to laugh some before he felt some intent to kill radiating off the puppy. That's weird, he thought.

"Hey, you two," Rem called, "It's time for us to return back to the mansion."

"Okay. You heard the girl, Natsuki, come on," Ban said as he started leaving behind Subaru.

"Hey, wait up!"

"How about you catch up," Ban told Subaru.

Rem, seeing Subaru running after Ban, let out a small laugh.


Escanor was in the kitchen and was cleaning some dishes from the night before. The orange mustached man did not mind too greatly about the task since Ram was cleaning the mansion and Ban and the others were out gathering supplies. It could also have been that Escanor was used to cleaning dishes due to his time owning his own tavern.

As he was preoccupied with the dish cleaning, Ram opened the door the the kitchen. She looked at Escanor and then asked, " You're still doing that? Shouldn't you be done already? If it was me, the dishes would have been cleaned fifthteen minutes ago. And you're not even doing it right."

"I'm not? But I am sure that I—"

"No, you're not doing it right at all. The way you're cleaning them and everything is wrong."

"I-I see. Than what do you want me to do?"

"Well first of all…"

The door to the kitchen swims back open again. "I'm back, bitches!"

"Who are you calling a bitch," Ram asked.

"Kid, stop trying to act all big and mad. You're embarrassing yourself that it's funny."

Ram looked like she wanted to cut Ban in half for that comment but seemed to hold herself back.

"Anyway, can you go piss off and let me and my friend talk.

"Fine! I was leaving anyway."

"Yeah~, sure you were."

"I hate you," Ram whispers under her breath.

"So what do you want to talk about, Ban?"

Ban leaned against the counter and told Escanor, "When me, Natsuki, and Rem went to that little town, one of the people told be a rumour about a giant."

"A giant," Escanor said with a bit of hope in his tone, "Do you think that it might be—"

"Yeah, no fucking doubt it is and it seems that king's with her."

"Really!?"

"Yeah really."

"And what about the captain and the others?"

"Yeah, sorry but it seems none of them know anything about them."

"O-oh."

"I agree with that. We need to find Merlin so she can get us the hell out of here."

""What of She is unable to."

"Don't say that. I would be tucking screwed if she couldn't. I already don't like this place and I don't want to ducking live here forever."

"It's not too bad, Ban."

"Not for you, but that's just cause you aren't constantly getting in fights with people trying to kill you."

"That's...true."

"Yeah, I know it is," Ban pushes off the counter and told Escanor, "Well, I'm gonna go now and see what Natsuki's up to."

"Okay."

When Ban left Escanor, he walked through the hallway of the mansion, looking for something to do. As he walked up the stairs, he turned to his right. Ashe passed what looked to be a very valuable vase, which was colored white with beautifully blue paint that navigated around it. He stopped almost immediately and looked that the vases

His eyes sparkled as he said to himself, "I bet they won't notice if this is missing." Ban looked both ways and than crack a mischievous smile. He grabbed the vase and starts to walk down the hallway, netting to get away free.

However, as he turned the corner of the hallway, he finds that he will not be getting out of it free for infront of him. Ram looked at the Sin of Greed with her pink irises. Her eyes than saw the vase that was placed between his right arm. "Why are you holding that vase, Ban?"

"Cause."

"Because why," Ram asked before saying, "You know what, nevermind, you are not allowed to have that and you will put that back where you found it."

"And why should I listen to someone like you?"

"Because, if you do not put that back where you found it, than I will make sure you get kicked out of the mansion for stealing."

"Kid, it's only a damn vase. It's not like any of y'all are gonna miss it or anything."

"Like me be more clear, you are going to put that vase where you found it or—"

"Yeah, yeah,yeah, I got it. I'll put the damn vase back."

Ban gone back and placed the vase back where he found it. After which he had done so, he heard the door to his right open and a wild Subaru had walked out though it was more like he ran out. "Damn, what's wrong with you," Ban asked.

"Ban! We need to get back to the village!"

"Huh, why?"

"Because, that dog that bit me was not a dog."

"Huh, what's that supposed to mean?"

"I'm saying it was a shaman and that those kids are in danger. And that we need to get to the village before it's too late"

"Okay, don't get your panties in a twist," Ban told him, "Besides, if I don't go, than you're just get yourself killed."

"Thank you and we need to hurry," Subaru said before running through the hall and than falls down the stairs.

"You should really watch out where you step, Subaru," Rem told him.

"Yeah, he really should," Ban said as he walks down the stairs with a little smile on his face.

"I assume that something is wrong to make Subaru run like that," Rem said.

"Yeah, I guess. Natsuki said that the dog at that village is a shaman or something and that those kids His was playing with are in danger," Ban said with not much haist in his voice.

"Are you sure about your claim, Subaru."

"Of course I am. Beatrice said that I was cursed and and she showed me where the aura was coming from and it was where the dog bit me."

"If that is the case, we need to get there in a hurry," Rem said.


The day had fallen to night. The stars glowed in the sky that was lacking the moon.

The three had got to the village to find that the village were in a panic. Worry were shown on the faces of the villagers. "What happened," Subaru asked.

"The children. They just disappeared so suddenly after it turned to night. We he's sent out a small search party but they haven't returned yet."

"Then we're go after them and find the children, I promise you that," Subaru told the townspeople.

Ban yawned at Subaru saying that. He then looked into the forest as he was feeling some kind of strong power coming from the forest

"What's wrong," Subaru asked.

"I can't really tell but it feels like a strong force is coming from that forest."

"Are you sure, Ban," Rem asked.

"Yeah, I damn sure."

"Okay then we will need to be careful," Rem told him.

"You two do but I don't," Ban told the two, "But let's just get this over with."


The first was huge and the trees blocked out many, many of the light from landing on towards the ground. Rem had brought out her morning star, ready to swing it at anything that seemed t pose a threat to the three of them. As the three walked through the forest, Ban heard a sound. It was footsteps and heavy ones at that. A growling animal was soon heard. Ban instinctively turned around before a red eyed, black furred animal that resembles a wolf leaped at Ban, at which the sin grabbed the animal's mouth and ripped the animal's head in half. The carcass of the animal falls to the earth. "So anyone have an idea what I just killed," Ban asked, "Cause I don't think it was a wolf."

"It is a Wolgram," Rem answered, "There are a lot of them that love in this forest. And if there is one of them here than there are many more."

"Well, if that's true then this is gonna be easy than stealing from a baby," Ban told the two, "They don't even look powerful."

"Well, that is true on their own but if there are a lot—"

"If there's a lot of them than I'll just keep on killing them. Besides, they're weaker than dirt."

"Okay," Rem said, "But still keep on your guard."

Just as Rem had said that, many, many red glowing eyes started to surrender the three.

"Okay, there's a lot more than I thought," Ban told the two. "Natsuki, you might want to stay back cause this is gonn—"

Before Ban was able to finish his line, at most, fifty Wolgrams went into attack mode and started their assault on the three.

Rem swung her Morning Star at the animals as Ban started one punching the animal's brains out with his hands.

It was a tough fight for Rem and Subaru, but just a pain for Ban.

It seemed that a lot of the Wolgrams kept attacking Ban more frequently than Subaru or Rem and Ban did not appropriate it.

When Ban made a Wolgrams face explode from is punch, another Wolgram jumped on to his back and bit him on the neck.

Ban did not appreciate that and ripped off the Wolgram and slung it at a tree, breaking its back with a loud thud. Just as he had done that, another Wolgram bites him on the leg.

"Damn mut," he said as he kicked the animal in the face, making it pop like a balloon. He looked at Subaru to see that he was trying not to get bit by the animals. He then looked at Rem, seeing that she was crushing the Wolgrams.

At that moment, five Wolgrams jump onto Ban, biting him and ripping out chunks of his flesh.

Rem saw what happened and had an idea.

Suddenly, Ban's whole torso gets splattered bhen Rem throw Morning Star at him, which killed the five Wolgrams. Ban regenerated quickly before he snapped the neck of a Wolgram that was trying to eat his face. He than got up off the ground to see that the shirt of his butler uniform he was wearing was destroyed, showing off his muscular chest and arms.

A Wolgram ran at Ban to which he, again, just easily demolished the animal's whole face with one punch.

"How many fuckers are there," Ban asked, "This is starting to get repetitive."

As Ban just spoke that phrase, more of the animals came back running at him and he made quick work of the animals.

The fight had took a while to finally end but it did after a while. As the bodies of the dead Wolgrams lines the ground, Ban said, "Damn, now that was just irritating. They might not be strong but those fuckers sure are a pain in the ass when you're fighting a lot of em." I

"That is how most predators work, they always hunt in packs," Rem told him.

"I'm aware of that, kid," Ban told Rem. He then looked at Subaru and asked, " So where are we going now?"

"Uh~, I don't know."

"Maybe we should split up, so that we can cover more ground," Rem suggested.

"Yeah I don't think that's the best idea cause Natsuki will become dog food for those things."

"HEY! I can handle myself fine, thank you very much."

"Really? And why did I see you trying to run up a tre," Ban asked.

"A-Well I've got nothing to defend myself so what else was I supposed to do?"

Just as Subaru had spoken, the three hard another sound that was coming from their side. It sounds as like they were the sound of movement. Two silhouettes starts to come into focus of the three.

A voice of a man echoes out in said direction.

It said, "Man, these things are such a pain to kill. I bet they'll taste bad even if Ban cooked them."

That voice, Ban thought. His face cracked a smile as he start to get hyped up.

"You two better stand back," Ban said with a joyous tone, "This is about to get intense."

The two silhouettes then came into view.

There was a boy who has blond hair and green eyes and was wearing a white long sleeve shirt with a black vest over said shirt.

There was also a girl who had silver hair that covered her right eye. She was wearing a pink shirt that did not cover up her stomach and a dark mini skirt.

Ban smiles as the short kid faced man saw him. The man smiles as well as the two glares at each other. The atmosphere felt heavey and strong. Subaru then asked, "Why does sverything suddenly feel intense?"

Ban then bults toward the man and he man does the same with opened arms.

"BAN," Meliodas yelled.

"CAP'N," Ban yells happily.

So now Meliodas is here in all his glory. Now I wonder what's gonna happen next. Will, you better stay in toon for the next chapter. Cause it might be here faster than you might expect.
