"You remembered something? Nice!" Hawk runs over to Seraphina. "What'd you remember?" Meliodas asks. "I remembered being in a market with someone, a Holy Knight. We were searching for a sword for someone." Seraphina shares looking down at her hands. "Is that all you remembered?" Diane asks. "Someone called me princess, so I must've been the princess of a Kingdom, but I don't know where." Seraphina replies. "Do you know what this person looked like?" Hawk asks. "Yes, the knight was female, she had short pink hair with bangs covering her eye, but I couldn't see her other eye for some reason." Seraphina clenches her fist and closes her eyes. Meliodas freezes for a second before relaxing. "I feel bad." She says, her voice coming out as a whisper. "Why?" Meliodas walks over to her. "Because this person is dead and yet I have no memory of her, I don't even know her name." Seraphina stares down at the ground.

"Sir Meliodas said you lost your memories, so it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself." Elizabeth puts a comforting hand on Seraphina's shoulder. Seraphina nods and takes in a deep breath. "I guess you're right." She stands up and grabs her scythe. "We better go look for the Sins." She suggests.

"Ban!" "King!" Meliodas and Diane call out to the Sins, hoping to get an answer. "Ban!" Seraphina calls. "King! Come back!" Hawk also calls. "Man, where'd those two run off to now?" Diane asks. Elizabeth, who was walking behind Seraphina with her hands on the girl's shoulder, gasped when Seraphina stopped walking. "Why'd you stop walking?" Seraphina asks the blonde in front of her. "I don't think we're alone here." Meliodas replies making the girls gasp. Everyone looks around. "I don't see anyone around here but us." Elizabeth points out. "Yeah, no ghosts have appeared and tried to scare us or anything." Hawk says. "Actually, I'd be terrified if one had." Elizabeth replies. The two females and the pig get terrified and look around. "There's obviously no point in hanging around here. Why don't we go look for those two now, what do you say?" Hawk suggests. "Sounds good to me!" Elizabeth agrees and they continue walking. Seraphina grabs Meliodas' shoulders and follows in his footsteps.

"There's no sign of them." Diane comments. "Maybe they both got bored and just went back to the real world?" Hawk suggests. "I highly doubt that." Seraphina disagrees. "Oink." The group stops, seeing someone in front of them. "Who's that?" Diane asks. "Hello, Meliodas the Dragon Sin. How do you do, Diane the Serpent Sin? My name is Guila, a Holy Knight." Guila greets the Sins. "Wait, how did you get here?" Hawk wonders. "Simple. By dying." Guila replies. "Did she just say she got here by dying?" Hawk asks. "Yes, yes she did." Seraphina responds. "Then that probably means this lady is bad news, isn't she?" Hawk inquires. "Afraid so. Really bad news." Meliodas tells him. Guila unsheathes her rapier and points it in the air. She blows Elizabeth and Hawk away with the wind and points her rapier at Meliodas. "Hawk, take Elizabeth and Seraphina and get as far away from here as possible." Meliodas tells the pig. "I'm not leaving." Seraphina tells him.

"If you say so! Hey, Elizabeth! Piggy back." Hawk looks at the princess. "All right." Elizabeth climbs onto Hawk's back. "You will believe a pig can fly!" Hawk says, running away. "Try to stay safe, you three!" Elizabeth calls. The three of them get into fighting stances ready to fight. Guila manages to knock Meliodas back leaving Diane and Seraphina. Diane is the next to go and luckily Meliodas catches her before she gets impaled by a crystal. "Captain!" Diane looks back at him. "You're heavy!" Meliodas tells her, holding her up. "That's so mean! No wonder our relationship has problems!" Diane complains. Seraphina gets knocked away last and lands on Diane. "Ow!" She groans. "Diane the Serpent Sin." Guila walks up to them. "Hmm?" Diane sits up causing Seraphina to slide off her chest and land on her lap. "Endowed with possibly the greatest physical strength of the Sins. As a Giant, a close bond with the earth, and manifests the magical ability 'Creation'. I've been looking forward to seeing it in person." Guila tells her.

Diane stands up, causing Seraphina to fall off her lap. "Gotcha!" Meliodas says, catching her before she can hit the ground. "And? What do you think?" Diane asks, once again getting in a fighting stance. "Frankly, a bit disappointed. It didn't quite live up to what I'd heard in the stories." Guila shares. Diane glares a her and grunts. "Then let's see how you like this!" Diane clasps her hands together and puts them on the ground. The ground below Guila turns into sand and the knight gets sucked in. "It's Sand Whirl! We can also take minerals and turn them into sand. Just a little FYI." Diane tells her. "Oh, I see. Most informative." Guila says, before getting fully sucked in. Using her explosive power, Guila is able to get out of the sand, shocking Diane. The brunette throws a crystal at the knight, which she explodes sending fragments flying at her. Diane's knocked over and Guila lands on a crystal. Meliodas tries to attack Guila from behind but she dodges him.

She flips off the crystal and lands on the ground. Meliodas, using his hand goes to attack her again, which Guila blocks with her rapier creating a crater in the ground. "And then, of course, there's the legendary Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, Meliodas. Your might does indeed live up to the stories I've heard! But it's quite a strange thing. I noticed that you're not using your sword." Guila leaps away from Meliodas and points her rapier at him. "You think your bare hands can stop my blade?" Guila asks, lunging at him. "Well, if you really wanna know." Meliodas grabs his sword. "Captain has her now!" Diane says. Meliodas reflects her attack back at her. "Nice one!" Seraphina cheers. "Oh, I see." Guila speaks making the females gasp "So your magical ability is Full Counter. If there's any offensive magic directed at you, it's reflected back at the caster at double strength." The smoke clears around Guila, showing that she only has a few scratches.

"Fascinating. In short, the more powerful your opponent, the more powerful your opponent, the more fearsome your defense. But that also means its weakness is not being able to initiate an attack." Guila shares. "I get it. You knew that, so you've been holding back on your own ability." Meliodas says. Seraphina steps closer to Meliodas gaining Guila's attention. "Oh and how can I forget the look-a-like. You're named Seraphina, right? Lady Friesia said you possessed the power to take down both her and Ruin effortlessly. I have yet to see such power." Guila addresses the girl. "Come now, all three of you. Time to try harder." Guila motions for them to come closer. "I did kill myself to be here."
