Unlimited Melizabeth Works

The letter L is for... the word "Like".

Everything started at a normal morning at the Boar Hat. It was yet the time for the morning shift and customers had yet to be introduced to the tavern, thus it was a calm morning.

Diane was sleeping outside, King who wanted to watch over her (sleeping face) was send to buy groceries much to his disappointment, Ban was drunk since last night and wouldn't wake up for a while, Gowther was up but still reading books in his 'room' thus leaving only Meliodas, Elizabeth and Hawk awake and talking in the bar.

"Oi, Meliodas! It isn't even noon yet so why the heck are you drinking ale for?!" Yes, the morning would be indeed calm, if it weren't for the cries of the Scraps Captain of the Boar Hat, that is.

The reason behind such anger right in the morning? It would surely be because of the Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins who already chugged down a bottle of Bernia ale and was ready to open another to pour in his mug. But the said person didn't seem to be much fazed compared to Hawk's explosive reaction.

"Isn't it alright? One bottle or two wouldn't make much differences anyway." Meliodas shrugged as he poured all the content of the bottle into his (large-sized) mug and caused the pig to fume further while the princess behind them was panicking slightly on how she could calm them down.

"'One bottle or two' you said...? I'm amazed that you can say that after chugging down I don't even know how many barrels yesterday night!"

"Don't care about such small details."

"Just how small is it in your mind?! What would you do if there is nothing left to serve to the customers?!"

"Then I would have no choice but to serve them some pig dishes as an apology." Meliodas answered without missing a beat but then Hawk started to blink in confusion, "Huh? Where are you going to hunt pigs for?"

Meliodas then raised an eyebrow and looked at him curiously as if he just said the weirdest thing of the world. "What are you talking about, stupid swine. Why should I lose my time to look for a pig while you are already here in front of me, ready to be cooked as an offering?"

The way he said it was truly easy going enough to be mistook for a joke but for some reason it has the opposite effect on Hawk as realization finally struck his mind and he started to sweat waterfalls in panic, thus he had no choice but to turn to his only salvation as he dived towards her, "Waah~! Elizabeth-chan! Don't let Meliodas cook me to a roasted pork!"

"It's alright, Hawk-chan. I'm sure that Meliodas-sama is just joking!"

"Why are you taking it so well?! Don't you know how many times he threatened me like that?! I can't consider it as a joke anymore―!" And thus Hawk cried over the fact that 'because of Meliodas' influence, Elizabeth had abandoned me too!' while Elizabeth kneeled down to his level and patted his round head in comfort. Meliodas was just watching the two while continuing on drinking his ale nonchalantly as if nothing of what happened was his fault.

"But still Meliodas-sama, I would like to ask you to refrain from making such jokes. Hawk-chan was really scared after all..."

'Elizabeth-chan! My savior! She still hadn't abandoned me after all, what a good girl!' Hawk thought to himself as he was now crying from joy and pride for the princess.

"Mm?" When Elizabeth talked to him Meliodas finally gave his attention to her before gently rubbing the curve of her breast through the uniform's fabric, "Sure, if Elizabeth is asking for it, I would try to do it if Hawk stop would stop to be annoying."

"I'm so glad! Isn't that great Hawk-chan?" Elizabeth directed a gentle relieved smile towards Hawk and was totally unreactive towards Meliodas who was still molesting her. This time, Hawk's tears of joy now turned into tears of blood and sadness.
