Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here, the story advances further as you get to see what has happened to Meliodas and his comrades…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 15: Gendai no sekai ni modoru
The scene showed that a huge smoke was emanating and it was thick, so thick that people were startled at what is happening, believing that there is a fire, and it turns out that the place is actually a vacant lot at the financial district of Scotland's financial district, and people are wondering what is happening, as the smoke is thick and is reaching so high that it reached the rooftop of a skyscraper, and pedestrians are considering in calling the fire department.
"What the heck…?"
"Fire?"
"Another vandalism…"
"Geez…"
"Someone better call the fire department…"
"Someone must have left a cigarette at the bush…"
"I really hate smokers…"
"!"
However, as the smoke slowly cleared, the passerby were surprised to see what was behind the smoke, as it turn out to be the Nanatsu no Taizai, as they survived the attack at Britannia, but for some reason they ended up back at the modern Earth, and the group, except for Meliodas, are perplexed at what they are seeing, as it was their first time seeing buildings, vehicles and the like.
"Huh?"
"Hey..."
"What is this…?"
"Are we still in Britannia…?"
"What's going on here…?"
"And what's with these people…?"
"Are they…?"
"Oh dear…"
Gowther was confused as he saw parked cars, Merlin appeared to be baffled at seeing people's modern-day clothing, Ban and King were bewildered at seeing high-rise buildings and a passing helicopter, while Escanor was glancing at the passerby, who were then looking terrified at the giant Diane, and there the six members and Elizabeth asked Meliodas if he has any ideas.
Meliodas sighed as he realized that he and his comrades have returned to the world of Doctor Strange, and there he told his teammates to stay where they are and he will try to talk to the passerby to contact Strange, which the others were unsure but accepted.
"Really?"
"You sure?"
"Can you handle this…?"
"Be careful, Meliodas…"
"Want me to help?"
"Say the word, Meliodas…"
"Meliodas-sama…"
"…"
Soon the Scottish SWAT team arrived, and are surprised to see the titanic size of Diane while staring in disbelief at seeing King floating on a pillow, and the squad leader tells his team to be ready for anything in case the intruders mount an attack, which the others nodded.
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
Meliodas then approached the SWAT leader and asked for directions to the Sanctum, saying that he is an acquaintance of Doctor Strange, which the SWAT leader heard of him and asked Meliodas if he is telling the truth, which Meliodas honestly answered, and assured to the SWAT leader that they are not a threat to anyone here.
The SWAT leader was unsure at first, and when the SWAT team asked if they should apprehend Meliodas and his teammates, the SWAT leader told his men not to make any move, and instructed one of his men to contact Doctor Strange, which the SWAT member asked if the SWAT leader is sure.
"You heard me."
"But sir…"
"Go find Doctor Strange."
"Right now?"
"Yes right now."
"…"
"Go!"
"Yes sir!"
After that, the SWAT member leave the scene as he head of to the Sanctum, and hoped that nothing bad would happen as he is unsure if leaving Meliodas and his band there is a good idea, and all he could do is trust the judgment of the SWAT leader.

At the Sanctum, Doctor Strange is working on something as the Sanctum is undergoing renovations, and outside, Wong is directing a pupil to sweep the sidewalks and make sure that there are no sorts around, which the pupil obliges, and as the pupil is sweeping the sidewalk, an unexpected visitor came, who turn out to be Thor, and he asked Wong is Strange is here.
Wong nodded and said that Strange is inside and there Thor said that he would like to speak to Strange, and there Wong said that he will lead him there stating that Thor might get lost inside the Sanctum.
"Follow me."
"I'm sure I can find my way…"
"Sorry. You'll get lost easily."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Well…"
"Just follow me and you'll find Strange."
"Very well…"
As Wong led Thor inside, the pupil continue to sweep the sidewalks when the SWAT member arrived and asked if Strange is here, which the pupil asked what does the SWAT member want, and there the SWAT member said that it is an emergency as a group of strange individuals appeared and are asking for Strange himself.
The pupil appeared to take the SWAT member seriously after hearing the tone of the SWAT member's voice, and tells him to follow him as he will take him to Strange. The SWAT member thanked the pupil, stating that the apparent leader of the band claims that he is an acquaintance of Strange.
"So that person said that…?"
"Yes. He seemed to know of Strange."
"I see. Come with me then."
"…"
"I will take you to Strange."
"Thanks."
"It's nothing."
"…"
A minute later, the scene shows that Strange and Thor are having a chat about something and they coincidentally wondered if Meliodas is okay, as it turns out that the last time they saw him was roughly a month ago (modern Earth time), and they wondered if he has found peace as they believed that Meliodas has returned to his own world.
Thor apologized, saying that Loki is partly to be blamed after he manipulated the Green Goblin into attacking Meliodas, though Strange assured that all is well and all that matters is that Meliodas has returned to his home world and he would soon find peace.
"Really, all is fine."
"You think so, Strange?"
"I think so."
"Well…"
"Anyway…it's out of our hands now."
"So you say…"
"Now then…"
"…"
Wong came and is carrying a mug filled with beer, and gave it to Thor, which the thunder god thanked him for the service, which Wong said that it is okay as he was instructed to offer refreshments to a guest in the Sanctum.
"Here."
"Thanks, Wong."
"You're welcome."
"Beer is good."
"Strange's instructions…always give service to his guest…"
"You're a good man."
"…"
"…"
Suddenly the pupil came and both Strange and Thor saw the SWAT member with him, and there the pupil told Strange that the SWAT member wished for Strange to assist, saying that the SWAT team encountered a band of individuals at the financial district area of Glasgow, and said that the leader of the band claims to know of Strange.
As Strange asked the SWAT member for information, the SWAT member gave a description, one which described Meliodas' appearance, and both Strange and Thor realized that Meliodas has somewhat returned here, and that he brought someone with him.
"Strange…is that…?"
"No doubt about it."
"Then…"
"Yes. Meliodas is back."
"How is that…?"
"We'll worry about that later. We got to get there before trouble ensue."
"I think I'll tag along."
"Much appreciated."
Strange then tells the SWAT member to take him to where the seven individuals are and promised to take care of them, saying that he knows them, and the SWAT member said that he will inform the SWAT leader of the development, and he led Strange and Thor out of the Sanctum as they head off to where the Nanatsu no Taizai members are.
Wong was quite surprised to hear this and wondered what awaits them as this would be the second time that Meliodas has come here, and after hearing that his comrades are here, he sensed that Strange will be quite busy in the coming days.
He instructed the pupils to prepare the guest rooms, saying that they will have guests in a matter of minutes, which the pupil asked if there is anything else to prepare, which Wong said that he will tell the rest of the staff to be ready, and tells the pupil to get on it, which the pupil obliges.
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
As Wong went to the staff room, he told the staff members that the Sanctum will be having guests today and told everyone that the Sanctum will have to be presentable and they are to make sure that nothing indecent would be found here, which the staff members nodded.
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."
"Yes sir."

Strange and Thor appeared, and now they are told of the development and are going to greet them…
