The Eighth Sin Of Chaos and Mystery

Chapter 11: The Vaizel Fight Festival

Tsubaki's pov

Despite Meliodas telling me no, to join the fight festival, I didn't listen and entered anyway. But I didn't use my full name, rather I used the nickname I usually went by, which was Tsu. When my name was called, Ban, Meliodas and King nearly had a heart attack. "I thought I told you not to join the fight. Why don't you ever listen to me?" Meliodas and I stood back to back, as well fought some people. "I do listen to you. This is just one of those times where I choose not to." I explained, kicking a guy in the face. "I regret bringing you now." He muttered, "Oh well." I shrugged. "Tsu? Are you insane?" King questioned, as we both kicked someone off. "No, I just wanted to join in the fun. Okay. That's not so bad. Now leave me alone." Before Meliodas had the chance to pull me out, I managed to knock out several people along with another girl. Her outfit was similar to that of the one that Meliodas had Elizabeth and I wear when we worked in the Boar Hat, which was odd.

"Such incredible speed! You can't even follow it with your eyes! A female contender has knocked out over ten opponents in the blink of an eye!"

"She's pretty good."

"Yeah, she is." I nodded.

"Ooh, scary... I wonder if she'd ever get married." Ban pondered.

"Wait, where'd you get those clothes?"

"Finally, the survivors still in the ring are.... Four... five... six...Seven, eight.. nine?"

"What are they gonna do? There can't be a tournament like this. There's one more who didn't fall off!"

"Phew... That was close!" I looked over at King, who was floating on Chastifeol. Smart.

"Hey! He's floating?"

"That's cheating! You should be disqualified!"

"It's definitely cheap, but it's not considered using a weapon. Therefore, he's safe!" Love helm stated.

"Good work. Taking the cheap path to victory." Ban teased, making me hit him in the stomach.

"Nice, coward!"

"You don't have to put it like that." King whined.

"And now, we'll draw the lots for the main tournament! Would the nine contestants please come to the waiting room? Now, please draw lots. The person with the same letter as you will be your opponent in the first round!"

"Man, I'm really excited for the finals!" Ban said, a smile on his face. "Me too. Me too." The two of us smiled, high-fiving one another.

"You'd better not get knocked out after saying that." Meliodas stated.

"Who do you think you're talking to?" Ban questioned, "Yeah, Cap. Don't underestimate the power of my fists." I stated, making Ban smirk.

"Ow, ow, ow. I'm so nervous I have a stomachache." King complained, "You'll be fine, King." I patted his back a bit hard, this got him to give me a look.

"And now, I will announce the first round match-ups! First up! Griamor versus Matrona!" My eyes widened when I heard that name. No.. Way.. Griamor.. He's here too. This is not good. He's bound to be the one that recognizes me. I gave off a nervous vibe, which Ban picked up on.

"It's that impressive girl from earlier."

"Never heard of her. The world sure is a big place."

"Next up! Howzer versus Taizoo!"

My fear became bigger when I heard his name called, this is not good. "Hey, you alright?" Ban whispered, coming closer to me. "Not really.. But I have to be." I said, crossing my arms. "What's wrong, Tsu?" Ban questioned, "Two of my childhood friends are here. One of them is Howzer. And the other is.. Griamor." King, Meliodas and Ban all gave a look of shock, nearly screaming out loud.
