Chapter 15
The Goat Sin Of Lust: Gowther!

Arden's P.O.V.

"Gowther! Get back here!" I yelled as I chased him out of town, past the Boar Hat, and through the forest. Gowther didn't slow down or reply. "I know it's you, you stinky mountain goat! So come back here!" I called out.

He still didn't slow down. We were coming up on what looked like a cliff.

You crazy goat! The fuck are you doing?!

Gowther jumped off the 'cliff', (which turned out to just an extremely steep slant in the ground) and I followed him. I almost landed on top of him, too. Very awkward, to say the least. And it got even more awkward when...

There was a fighting scene going on in front of us. A few holy knights and the captain, Ban, and King were fighting. The three Sins looked like they were protecting...something or someone.

Douchebag holy knights. Hey, wait...isn't that Gowther's armour? Is that what he meant when he said he needed glue for armour?! Wait--it's moving. The armour's moving and Gowther isn't inside! IT'S FUCKING POSSESED!! OH MY FU--

I was snapped out of my thoughts when King (unfortunately) noticed me.
"Eh? Arden?! What're you doing here?" King asked. The holy Knights and the other two sins turned their attention to me. Gowther was still beside me. Still in his...'disguise'.

And before you start to wonder, I'm the only one(besides Merlin and possibly Escanor) who has seen Gowther without his armour on. So I know that this is a disguise he was wearing right now.

I shifted uncomfortably. I hated being the centre of attention. It always made me feel stressed out and/or nervous.

"Umm...same with you." I looked at the three sins before me.
"What does it look like?" Ban growled. I glared at him.
"No need to be rude, cheeky-greedy fox. Continue like that and this badger will rip you to pieces." I glared at him, seriously not in the mood for his grumpiness. And he was probably grumpy from being woken up before he was ready to get up. So whatever.

I turned to look at Gowther. But he wasn't there. He had walked up to his possessed armour.
"There you are. I apologize for being late." Gowther hummed and he stopped in front of the possessed armour giant. "I searched all over town, but I wasn't able to find any glue." Gowther told the possessed armour giant.

I'm so confused.

King, Ban, and the captain were all staring at him. And Gowther seemed to notice this since he turned around to face them.

"What's up?" Gowther asked.
"I think you mean what's up with you!" Ban growled.
"Me? I'm--" Gowther got cut off before he could finish speaking. I sighed and clicked my tongue from boredom.

Can't we just beat up these holy knights, recruit Gowther, and go? Seriously. This is taking too long for something so simple! Ugh!

"Afraid..." The armour mumbled softly. "Gowther...afraid..."
"What're you talking about?" Ban asked. Nobody answered him.

It can talk?! Jesus Christ!

The armour began shaking. Then it lifted one of it's fists and slammed it into the ground, causing the ground around it to crack a bit and for a few rocks, trees and plants nearby to be either knocked away or broken.
