Ch. 30 Seiiki no soto no ryokō part 8
At the Sanctuary Sanctum, Doctor Strange is overseeing the day-to-day operations here as he glanced at the crystal ball, where he is being kept abreast of what is happening at the situation involving Wong, and he sweat-dropped at seeing Meliodas' antics, such as what he did at the McDonald's drive-in and at the entrance of the mall, which made the Sorcerer Supreme sigh in dismay, wondering if he did the right thing in letting the Nanatsu no Taizai members go with Wong.
By then a Sanctum student came and told Strange that he has two visitors waiting, which Strange blinked his eyes as he did not expect any visitors at this time and asked the students who the visitors are, which the student says that the visitors KNOW Strange, which made the Sorcerer Supreme blinked his eyes in bafflement.
"Doctor Strange...sir…"
"Yes…?"
"You have visitors…"
"Me?"
"Yes. About two of them."
"Two visitors…where are they now…?"
"Right outside…in…uh…costume…"
"Huh?"
It was then that the two visitors arrived, where they turn out to be Thor and Loki, and Strange sighed in relief as he remembered that he asked them to visit the Sanctum, and as the two Norse gods came, they blinked their eyes as Strange asked them to do a favor, which Thor obliges while Loki did so, although reluctantly.
As Thor and Strange chatted, Loki was bored until seeing a crystal ball where he saw where the Nanatsu no Taizai members are, and finds humor at seeing what is happening there, such as Diane unintentionally attracting attention after she unknowingly beat the SONIC BLAST MAN arcade game, impressing the teenage boys there.
Moreover the scene on the crystal ball shows that Diane became justifiably jealous as some of the teenage girls began flirting with King, causing Diane to confront them and threatened them until King and Wong persuaded her to ignore the flirting teen girls, which made Loki hatch up some naughty ideas until Thor smacked him on the head.
BLAG!
"Ow! Brother…will you stop that already?"
"Knock it off, Loki."
"I didn't do anything!"
"I can tell what's on your mind…and I'm telling you to knock it off."
"But…"
"Can it, Loki."
"You don't even have proof…"
"Want me to use my ENCHANTED HAMMER on your head…?"
As Thor and Loki were bickering over the latter's intentions to play another prank on Meliodas, Strange checked on something and realized that he forgot to give something to Wong, and seeing that he is too busy with the activities within the Sanctum, Strange reluctantly asked Loki to head to the mall and give Wong the items, much to Loki's disbelief, feeling that it is an insult for a Norse god to do an errand for a mortal.
"Loki…since you're here…"
"What is it you want, mortal?"
"I have a favor to ask…"
"You dare make me…a god…act as your errand boy…?"
"Well...yes."
"Why you…!"
"Simmer down…you won't go UNREWARDED…"
"What was that…?"
Strange's witty rebuttal somewhat made Loki irritated but for a reason he ended up reluctantly accepting the errand on the promise of GETTING A REWARD, though he became more irritated seeing Thor snickering in amusement, telling him to knock it off as Loki said that he is trying to put his pride aside just because Strange promised him something.
"Brother!"
"Y-yes…hee-hee..."
"You think this is funny…?"
"Well..."
"Putting my pride aside just because…"
"Yeah, yeah…I know…"
"Then stop making fun of me!"
"Okay, okay…"
However, the crystal ball picked up what appeared to be a MALEVOLENT AURA, and upon closer inspection, Strange became alarmed as it turns out that the malevolent aura that that was detected came from Baron Mordo himself, and there it is shown that Mordo is within the mall's vicinity where he is seen stealthily following Wong and the Nanatsu no Taizai members.
Strange realized that Mordo is intending to ambush Wong and the Nanatsu no Taizai members and the Sorcerer Supreme asked the half-brothers to assist him, which Loki objected, feeling that his pride as a god is being trampled, though Strange uses his quick-witted comments to PERSUADE Loki to accept, and the Norse god of Lies and Mischief reluctantly accepted provided that Strange keep his promise.
"Loki…my friend…we now have an emergency…and since you're here…"
"What is it you want now, mortal? I don't like that tone…"
"I have a VERY SPECIAL favor to ask…"
"Oh no-no-no…first you dare make me…a god…act as your errand boy…and now you want me to act as your enforcer?"
"Well…in a manner of speaking…yes."
"Why you…! That does it! I'm...!"
"Simmer down…you won't go UNREWARDED…for real…"
"What was that…? Are you BRIBING me now?"
However, the crystal ball glowed again and it shows another person is detected within the vicinity near Wong and the Nanatsu no Taizai members, and as Thor looks on, Loki smirked, and Strange is dismayed, as the person detected turns out to be the Scarlet Witch, and this made Strange feel very concerned as it would be chaotic if Mordo and the Scarlet Witch crossed paths and cause a disturbance inside the mall with the Nanatsu no Taizai members getting caught in between, which Thor said that he will try to persuade her to cease whatever plans she has in mind.
"Strange…let me talk to Wanda..."
"Are you sure…?"
"Yes…"
"But…don't you think…"
"Both Wanda and I have worked together with the Avengers…so I believe that I might persuade her to calm down…"
"Okay…I'll be counting on you."
"Sure…"
"Now…about Loki..."
Loki was staring at the crystal ball while gazing intently towards the Scarlet Witch, smirking as naughty ideas popped into his head, which Thor got the gist and smacked him on the head, causing the half-brothers to bicker as the latter told his younger half-sibling to knock it off and the former insisting that he didn't do anything foolish.
BLAG!
"Ow! Brother…will you stop that already?"
"Like I told you a while ago…knock it off, Loki."
"Why? I didn't do anything!"
"Don't try fooling me, Loki. I can tell what's on your mind…and I'm telling you to knock it off."
"But I…"
"Can it, Loki."
"You don't even have proof…I'm just standing here and…"
"Want me to use my ENCHANTED HAMMER on your head…? Or send lightning bolts to fry your ARSE?"

The scene shifts at the mall where Wong and the Nanatsu no Taizai members are at a popular hardware store within Scotland, which is revealed to be Youngmans, which Scottish customers frequently dropped by there to buy hardware tools that are needed for everyday life, and as Wong is being assisted by Gowther and Elizabeth, King and Ban are looking around, and the latter discovered the chainsaw, which the former took and glanced at it, curious about its mechanisms, until seeing the cord.
He curiously pulled the cord and the chainsaw was activated, and he became more curious as the chainsaws blades roared and spins, and he glanced at King and smirked naughtily, causing King to get nervous as the Nanatsu no Taizai leader mischievously approached him with the chainsaw at hand.
"Huweehhh…"
"H-hey…"
"Huweehhh…"
"S-stop that, Meliodas!"
"Huweehhh…"
"This isn't funny!"
"Huweehhh…"
"I mean it, Meliodas! Stop! Keep that thing away!"
Diane became worried as she noticed that other customers are staring at them and could hear them commenting that the Nanatsu no Taizai members are such a group of DEGENERATES, acting immature at a place like this, voicing their displeasure and dismay, seeing that they are acting so immature and childish.
"Goodness…"
"That blond-haired boy is a hopeless delinquent…"
"I can't believe he did that to the poor other boy…"
"I feel sorry for that monk who is accompanying them…"
"The youth today is so brazen…"
"He needs to be disciplined…"
"More than a smack on the head…"
"Indeed…"
By then Wong came and deactivated the chainsaw before smacking Meliodas on the head, telling him to behave, reminding him that he shouldn't act like an idiot as Meliodas and his comrades are in a foreign world and if theirs antics attracted considerable attention they would get into a heap of trouble, and Strange would get the most criticism.
The customers who watched it urged Wong to put Meliodas in his place, saying that Meliodas is such a degenerate that he would be a bane to society because of his foolish antics and he would be a bad influence to the youth and the younger generation, voicing their concerns that children might emulate what Meliodas' antics do to others.
"Yeah, discipline him, mister monk!"
"Teach him a lesson!"
"Show that idiot his place!"
"Don't be afraid to use violence!"
"That brat is a degenerate!"
"Place him in a monastery!"
"He might be a better monk!"
"Do it!"
Meliodas smiled sheepishly as Wong glared at him, while King and Diane were glaring at the Nanatsu no Taizai leader for the foolishness he made, and soon order was restored and Wong and the Nanatsu no Taizai members eventually concluded their business and are about to leave when Meliodas came across the toiletry section and saw a toilet bowl plunger, which he stared curiously before staring at King.
King raised an eyebrow seeing that the Nanatsu no Taizai leader grinning MALEVOLENTLY before slowly approaching, and a terrified King tells Meliodas to knock it off, realizing what the Nanatsu no Taizai leader has in mind, and he wants no part of whatever plans Meliodas has in store, worried that Wong would surely get pissed.
Indeed, as Meliodas is positioning to press the plunger on King's face, the latter dodged and the plunger ended up on Wong's face by accident, and King stared wide-eyed in horror as Wong was pissed off that he used his sorcery skills and conjured a lightning blast that struck Meliodas, making him look like a HUMAN CHARCOAL, and the latter chose to BEHAVE himself after getting a very STERN WARNING from Wong himself.
The customers from earlier lauded Wong and urged him to discipline Meliodas, disappointed at the Nanatsu no Taizai leader's foolishness and tells him to go to the extreme just to teach Meliodas a lesson so that he would behave himself and not cause another ruckus if Meliodas is only attracting unnecessary attention.
"Yeah, discipline him, mister monk!"
"Teach him a lesson!"
"Show that idiot his place!"
"Don't be afraid to use violence!"
"That brat is a degenerate!"
"Place him in a monastery!"
"He might be a better monk!"
"Do it!"
By then Loki showed up, clapping his hands and lauded Meliodas for A SPECTACULAR FEAT, which the latter smiled though Wong is cautious and approached the Norse god and asked what brings him here, and Loki whispered to Wong, telling him that he, Thor and Strange came because of the impending situation that is about to happen.
Wong stared in surprise upon being told that both Mordo and the Scarlet Witch are here and that both have BUSINESS with Strange, as they intend to use Wong as bait to lure Strange out of the open.
"What? The Scarlet Witch you say?"
"Yes."
"And you're not making this up?"
"My brother and Strange are about to deal with a certain Mordo who is just outside this shop…"
"Damn…"
"So he asked me to whisk all of you out of here before the Witch shows up…"
"This is…oh dear…"
"Tch…!"
Suddenly, the Scarlet Witch showed up, as she saw Wong and tells him to summon Strange, stating that she has SOME BUSINESS with the Sorcerer Supreme, which Wong became apprehensive as he couldn't let her get provoked due to many people here, and he came up with an idea to lure her away to an area where no innocent people would get caught.
"Its Strange you want, right…?"
"Yes."
"Well then…"
"Where is he?"
"I'll take you to him…"
"Good. Do it now."
"Okay, okay…just calm down…"
"…"
Meliodas asked what is going on, and Wong tells him and the Nanatsu no Taizai members not to do anything rash as he intend to lure the Scarlet Witch away from a lot of people, which the Nanatsu no Taizai members realized that Wong is serious and nodded in acknowledgement, sensing a malevolent aura from the Scarlet Witch herself.
"I'll lure her away…you stay here and not do anything. I repeat…don't say anything that would provoke her. Understand?"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
"Okay…"
