The Demon's Lover (Meliodas)

Chapter 45

So depending on how much time I have to continue writing tonight.. the book may or may not get finished tonight. And then.. a surprise.

---

The three of them are currently running from the substance Purgatory creatures

"Hey, Cap" Ban calls out "What will you do first after we get back to the real world?"

"Ban! This isn't the time to be talking about that!" Meli shouts

"C'mon, what does it matter?" Ban questions

"I'll break the curse on Elizabeth and me, and then I'll drink enough Bernia Ale to fill me up to my eyes" Meli replies and Ayano laughs

"Princess?" Ban smirks looking at her

"Kill some fucken demons!" Ayano answers

"Hell yeah!" Ban laughs "I'd revive Elaine, of course. After that, I'd drink enough Aberdeen ale to bathe myself in! And i'll be damned if you two aren't joining"

"Yes!" Ayano cheers

The three laugh.

"We make the best of friends" Meliodas says

"Hell yeah we do!" Ban shouts

Ayano laughs "I'm so happy we're together"

"Same here!" the boys reply happily

-

The three sit around a fire eating, Ban and Ayano don't bother questing why Meliodas needs to eat even though he's an emotion but still part of Meliodas they guessed again so he should probably need to eat too.

"You may be the only human that will ever have been able to stay in Purgatory Ban" Meliodas says "For over a thousand years you've managed to survive as an immortal and still hang onto your sanity.."

"Perhaps it's because I was raised in such a total crap environment as a kid" Ban grins

"Mmm maybe" Ayano says and nudges him "but I fixed that didn't I"

"yep" Ban chuckles

"Your experience from enduring and adapting to Purgatory has caused an explosive transformation upon your body and soul. I'm sure once you get back to the other side, everyone will be shocked" Meliodas says

Ban laughs a little "I can't really feel anything much myself... But It'd be great if I'd powered up enough to be able to face the Ten Commandments toe-to-toe on their level!" Meliodas and Ayano hold in their laughs, "Y....You both just laughed at me, didn't you, you bastards?!"

"N...Not at all!" Meliodas lets out a laugh

Ayano begins to laugh as well

"ok ok you two bastards" Ban rolls his eyes playfully

"No but in all serious Ban" Ayano smiles "you really have gotten stronger"

"thanks you two.." Ban sighs "you know we've been wondering this place aimlessly, but I think their's only one real solution to get out"

"hm?" Meliodas looks over at him "and what's that?"

"...i think we need to fight the demon king" Ban tells them

Ayano starts choking and Meliodas pats her back "Easy Aya"

"y-you're serious?" Ayano questions

"mhm" Ban nods "so... I think we're being watched"

Ayano closes her eyes and she senses something "yeah.. I think you're right"

"Yeah" Meliodas agrees
