Sunshine and Moonlight | Seven Deadly Sins [DISCONTINUED]

IV

"Aah!" Guila yells, when Gowther finishes restoring her memories. "The Goat Sin of Lust, Gowther! What did you do to my memories?!"

She then turns to her brother, who is still unconscious, and kneels down, hugging him.

"Zeal!" she yells desperately. "Zeal! Wake up!"

"I have returned Zeal's memories as well." Gowther states emotionlessly.

"Zeal! Forgive me. I was so cruel to you..." Guila apologises, completely ignoring Gowther. "How alone and confused you must have felt." she adds, as she embraces her sobbing brother.

"I meant no ill will." Gowther says brightly, before the Captain and I whack him from behind. He hastily apologises, before lamenting about a lack of a heart. Poor guy.

Guila then forgives him, before dumping him. Oof.

"What's all the commotion?" Holy Knight Slader of the Roars of Dawn questions, appearing out of nowhere.

"It's Slader from the Roars of Dawn. Perfect timing. There's a favour I have to ask of you." Merlin states.

"He only has ears for the King's orders." Melio butts in.

Slader then kneels down, saying: "Your wish is my command." Wait... what?

"Slader... does Merlin have some kind of dirt on you?" A very confused Meliodas asks.

"Hmph. Don't be silly." he states, standing up and walking closer to Merlin. "She did away with the magic imprisoning the king when nobody else could. Her feat gave me goosebumps, and has won my heart." Ohhhhhhh... too dramatic for my taste though.

"Please... let me call you Madam." he asks.

"You can call me whatever you want." Merlin says, hands on her hips and looking up at him.

"Now then, Madam," he says, backing away. "There was something you wanted of me?"

"Gowther, come here." I say.

"Roger."

I use 'Absolute Cancel' on him, before he reverts into his original form: a doll. I pick him up and hand him to Merlin, who passes him on to Slader.

"Please watch after him while we are carrying out this mission." Merlin asks.

"Madam... what do you mean? His original form...? But he looks nothing more than..."

"That's right." I interrupt. "Gowther was created by a great sorcerer in the past. He's a doll."

"I guess stranger things have happened." Hawk says.

"Hearing it from you, it's not very convincing." Meliodas replies, while Slader fangirls over the talking pig.

Merlin then checks how Hawk's feeling, before she thanks Slader for agreeing to look after Gowther.

Later, after Slader agreed to join us, Elizabeth asks to join too.

"I already told you." Meliodas responds. "The fight to protect Liones is over. You have no further need to put yourself in harm's way with us."

"But... I'm your ally too! Or am I... the only one who feels that way?" she questions.

"In the end, am I really only... baggage that slows you down?"

"Bingo!" Meliodas states, and I punch him. I understand why he's saying what he's saying, but I wish he could be a bit nicer.

"Who are you, Gowther?!!" Hawk yells, Elizabeth running outside. Slader goes to comfort her.
