The legendary figures come back inside and Ban grabs a slice of pizza. After he scarfs it down, he starts asking Meliodas some questions of his own.
"What brings you here, Captain?"
"I was summoned through the internet, how about you?"
"Ah, Merlin rigged up a system that teleports me to buildings with people who look up how to summon demons."
Meliodas gives Ban a playful punch in the shoulder.
"You still see Merlin from time to time?"
"Yeah, she's been my business partner for the last century."
Meliodas smiles.
"I didn't look up how to summon demons, though," you say.
Ban fixes his scarlet eyes on you and you shrink back a bit. Pazuzu puts a clawed hand on your shoulder. You can't meet his gaze. Ban shrugs and gives you a small smile and continues.
"I guess Merlin upgraded the system to include searches for demon names."
"Knock it off!" Lizzy says.
The rest of you turn. Meliodas is feeling Lizzy up, but she elbows him in the chest and he lets go. Lizzy crosses her arms over her chest and Ban sighs.
"Really, Captain?"
Meliodas shrugs and Lizzy glares at him.
"Anyway, y/n, about your whole situation with Zeldris," Meliodas says, "sounds like you're fucked."
"Could you show a little sensitivity?" Lizzy hisses.
"Jeez, Captain, I gotta agree with the... with y/n's friend."
"Why sugarcoat it? There's no way out of the ritual."
Purple flames flare up in the living room and holy shit there's a goddess standing in the middle of your coffee table. She's right beside the pizza. Ban reaches for another slice and Hecate stares at him.
You take a knee out of respect. Pazuzu follows suit. Ban and Meliodas remain standing until the goddess stares them down. After a delay, Lizzy takes a knee and shortly afterwards Ban and Meliodas do, too.
Hecate steps down off the coffee table and she stares at you. You want to ask her about the situation in the underworld, but the second she spots Meliodas all of her attention is focused on him.
"I thought you were dead, Prince of Darkness," she says.
