Y/n's P.O.V
Once Ban and I arrived back to the others I saw Meliodas fighting a holy knight...she seems familiar.
"Lady Y/n run!" I look to see Elizabeth holding onto Hawk with a worried expression. I can't just abandon my friends when they need me!
"Ah there you are Lady Y/n L/n~ Daughter of the infamous holy knight grandmaster Zaratras! Come with me and their lives will be spared~" The holy knight spoke with a smirk on her face and that's when I remembered her...she was the holy knight Dale's daughter! Why is she so cruel...?
"I'm not going anywhere with you! The sins will definitely defeat you!!" I shouted angrily as Ban chuckled while patting my head.
"Feisty one aren't ya~?" Ban smirked playfully as I smiled. Meliodas calmly walked towards us and pulled me close to his chest.
"She's mine~ Anyways Ban and Diane, ready to fight?!" Meliodas' eyes were filled with determination...and he said I was his. That idiot...
"Together let's protect not only Elizabeth but Y/n too!" Diane declared as Meliodas handed me to her together with Elizabeth and Hawk.
"Sir Meliodas...everyone...!" Elizabeth grew even more worried as I smiled while patting her head.
"Everything will be alright Elizabeth...have faith in them. Also call me Y/n!" I continued to smile as she eagerly nodded her head. I then turned my attention to Guila who shot fireballs at us.
"That girl is crazy!!" Hawk shouted as he started shaking. Guila may be our enemy...but deep inside her heart she isn't a bad person.
"Diane protect them!" Meliodas screamed as he blocked most of the attack but some still hit Diane. She closed her fists so we wouldn't be hurt at all...
"Diane...!" I shouted as she opened her fists to smile weakly at us. Her eyes...it's as if I can feel her determination to protect us.
"Are you three okay...?" Diane spoke softly as I nodded them began to cry. I can't let anyone get hurt...but if I sacrifice myself then what they're doing will be in vain.
"A giant's power is truly something to behold~" Guila hummed as she prepared another attack and at that moment both Ban and Meliodas ran towards her. She kicked Meliodas away then stabbed Ban's neck.
"Sir Ban!" Elizabeth shouted and I immediately jumped out of Diane's hands and ran towards them both.
"Y/n what are you doing!?" Hawk shouted and I saw how worried not only they all looked but Meliodas as well. I need to fight too!
"Don't hurt Ban anymore! Elaine needs him to be safe!!" I shouted angrily at Guila as I pushed her away so the sword wouldn't be in his neck anymore. Ban smiled as his wound began to heal.
"Thanks Y/n~" Ban hummed and patted my head once again making me smile...he's like a brother to me.
"Don't do anything reckless again okay?" Meliodas pouted as he held me in a bridal style and got me away from Guila together with Ban.
"I won't!" I smiled happily as I leaned up and placed a quick kiss on Meliodas' cheek making him blush a bit. I never knew I had that effect on him~ That's cute!
"I'll kill you all!!" Guila screamed but was thrown back with...a chastifol!? I got out of Meliodas' arms and looked behind us to see the grizzly sin of sloth, King!
"King...! You came!!" I shouted with a big smile on my face as he nodded them eyed Guila with anger.
"Feel free to attack me four on one~" Guila smirked and was confused as King shook his head in disagreement.
"No, one on one will do." King spoke firmly and immediately attacked her making her shocked as if she miscalculated his moves.
"I know how my brother is...he gains more power when fighting for others...then he can for himself. Not just for me...but for you all who missed him dearly." I smiled as I heard Elaine's voice in my head, she has so much faith for him.
"You alright Y/n?" Meliodas questioned with a smile as I nodded my head.
"Yeah...Elaine is watching over King and us as well." Meliodas tilted his head in confusion when I said the name Elaine but Ban understood and smiled at me.
"Elaine.." Ban muttered softly as moments later King defeated Guila.
"Are you okay?" I question him and he nodded with a smile on his face.
"Thank goodness~!" Diane giggled cheerfully as she smiled at King. I then noticed Guila stand up.
"Behind you!!" I shouted and seconds later Meliodas ran and used full counter to stop her attack. Once she disappeared I saw Elaine reveal herself beside Ban.
"That blast probably sent her back to the living world. You all came here as flesh and blood but she seems to have been here in spirit only." Elaine spoke calmly and I waved at her and she waved back with a smile.
"My ears are disappearing!!" Hawk shouted and soon everyone, even me began to slowly disappear.
"The Necropolis senses that you don't belong here...so it's begun to push everyone out." I soon realized the boy talking was the one from before.
"You both were from here this whole time?" King questioned softly as both kids smiled at us all.
"The cooking you did for us was really yummy, thank you so much!" The girl giggled happily making Ban smile then he turned to look at Elaine who was smiling lovingly at him.
"Glad I got to see you Ban...and Y/n as well." Elaine looked at me next and I smiled at her. Hopefully now she doesn't have to worry as much.
"See ya...Elaine." Ban smiled at her then we all finally started returning to the living world...together.
