"Here Captain! I broiled this just for you! Open up!" Diane passed an enormous fish and prodded the Captain's face with it, "That's a little big," He drinks his beer, "Uh Diane, are your injuries really healed now?" King floats over to her, "uh, yeah, sure I feel fine," She covers her face with the fish and averts her eyes, "She only pretended to be hurt so she could suck faces with the Captain," Ban was stupid drunk again, pressing King's buttons, "Diane's not that kind of girl okay!" He protects her, "Ehhh..." She scratches her cheek with a stupid grin on her face, "Come on, can you two just take it easy?" Captain takes another swig of his beer, "I've been meaning to ask, so you and this girl, what is your relationship?" King asks the Captain, "The lovers kind," Captain fondles her chest, "No it's not like that!" Elizabeth blushes, "The grope and get groped kind," He got Elizabeth's hand and put it on his chest, "Sir Meliodas! Oh please, don't." She retaliates,  "What she is, is the princess of the realm, you're the third one right?" Captain asks her, "Yes..." She nods, "What?! You're a princess?! You should have told me, if I knew, I would have made myself look more presentable," King shuts his eyes tight, "You don't have to-" Elizabeth shakes her head, King changed his appearance back to his fat form, Ban spat out his beer, "Wow, he changed clothes," Captain and I cocked our heads, "Look closer!" Ban cupped my chin in King's direction, "You know it takes a great deal of mental effort to change into his form," King touches his chest, "What a pig," Hawk was chewing on his food, "Huh?" Ban looks at him, "Hello I am King the Grizzly sin of the eight deadly sins. Glad to meet your acquaintance," He walks up to Elizabeth and bows, "The pleasure's mine I'm sure," She leans back a little, "I didn't know you were royal please forgive my poor manners in the Necropolis!" He leans closer, "Think nothing of it, also please don't let yourself get stressed out feel free to relax and become comfortable," She gives a close eyed smile, "If you insist, your majesty," King detransforms, "That took a lot outta me," He flops on his pillow that caught him, "Woah, his clothes changed back," Captain and I looked at King, "Look closer damnit!" Ban points at King, "I must say, you're one powerful individual, truly, on your own you were able to take down someone Sir Meliodas and the other's couldn't take down," Elizabeth walks over to him, "Yeah I guess I'm pretty powerful but any of you could have taken down that Holy Knight if you unleashed your true strength, now fess up, where are your sacred treasures," King rocks back and forth on his pillow, "I lost mine!" Diane pokes her tongue out, "Sold mine!" Captain grins, "Mine got stolen!" Ban pulls me into his lap, "Shame on you," King transforms into his fat form out of disappointment, "Guess I'm the only one with mine," I held my right hand in the air and my scythe materialised, "Wow Lady Yuki, that's an amazing sacred treasure," Elizabeth walks closer, "It actually isn't if you compare it to the others: Gideon, Courechouse, Lostvayne. You'll find out the other's treasures when we meet them. Marrowstrike's ability is to create and allow me to extract the vapour in the air and create water from it," I demonstrated with a small area of air in front of us, "It's called Flash Tsunami," I popped the water bubble into the lake we were enjoying our picnic by, "It's beautiful," She clapped her hands together. 

Ban and the Captain were dipping in and out, they both drank too much, "He sleeps like a rock," I pushed Ban off my shoulder, he landed with a thunk and continued snoring, "Lady Yuki, you should be more careful with Sir Ban," Elizabeth says quietly, "Oh it's fine, this fox can take a stab or two... or thousand," I smiled and stroked his cheek, "The new generation? What's that?" I cocked my head, "There's a few people who've failed and have been able to harness the full strength of a holy knight in the space of only one day, Guila for instance, she's the latest apprentice that's grown stronger overnight, doesn't really seem right does it?" King floated on his pillow, "She was?" Diane asks, "Let's back up a minute, you took the sacred treasure that was bestowed upon you by King Liones himself and sold it?!" King looks at Meliodas, "I needed money for the tavern," Captain had a stupid look on his face, "Yours was stolen?!" He looks at Ban, "When they threw my butt into that prison," He managed to crawl his way back to me and put his head on my shoulder, stroking my arm, "Hmmm, am I a bad girl?" Diane hides her face with her pigtails, "If it got misplaced I guess it's not your fault," King tried to make up an excuse for both her and himself, "Hey I don't get why you're getting so upset about this King, these guys do pretty well with what they've got," Hawk trots over, "Sir Pig," King looks at Hawk, "Say this lake represents all the magic power an individual sin has," He points out at the lake, it was already dusk and the sun was setting "How much water could you scoop out with just your hands? That's right, no matter how much magic there is, you're pretty limited by them. But~ If you have a weapon, especially a sacred treasure, you can draw out incredible amounts of magic," King takes a large bubble of water out of the lake, "Sacred treasures are pretty awesome," I grinned, "That makes a lot of sense... WHY THE HELL DID YOU GIVE YOURS UP HAM HEAD?!" Hawk shakes the Captain who had a guilty look on his face, "In any case we're going to need to get your sacred treasures back, assuming you're serious about saving the realm," King lets the water back down, "Excuse me, but Sir King before you joined us were you working with someone in the castle?" Elizabeth stands up, "More or less," King thought for a while, "Do you know what happened to them? My father and two sisters, the king the other two princesses," She asks, "I'm afraid not, sorry about that," He shook his head, "Oh, I see." She looks down. 

The next day, we arrival at Vaizel, "Here we are, Vaizel, apparently it's a merchant town," Captain shades his eyes, "You think it's really here?" Hawk asks, "Not too long ago one of our customers said a hammer was brought in, so big that nobody could wield it so you remember?" Captain looks at us, "So no one could handle it?" Elizabeth asks, "It could be Diane's," I looked up at her, "Aw to hell with that, we've got to do something about my clothes," Ban walks out, "Just cover your six-pack with an apron," Captain grumbles as he saw Ban's body, "That's not important now! Why do I have to stay behind and mind the bar?!" Diane thumps her fist on the ground, throwing us all up in the air, "Look Diane, ever since a giant went wild at their festival a few years ago, they've all been banned from town, but we'll come back as soon as we see what's up," Captain walks over to her, "It's gonna be boring!" She shakes her head and falls on her knees, shaking the earth again, "You know, I think I'll stay behind too," Elizabeth says, "What? Really!" Diane looks at her, "Sure, it'll be nice to have a little girl time for a change," She smiles, "Yeah, just us girls," Diane giggles, "Girls? Then I'm joining too!" I jumped up and ran to them, "Nope, you're staying with me," Ban picks the collar of my cloak and throws me over his shoulder.

The next day, we arrival at Vaizel, "Here we are, Vaizel, apparently it's a merchant town," Captain shades his eyes, "You think it's really here?" Hawk asks, "Not too long ago one of our customers said a hammer was brought in, so big that nobody c...

Yuki's clothes

We reached the bustling city, we walked through the busy alleyways, merchants trying to sell things left and right, "Look, quality blades for a swordsman," "This fine specimen was found buried with an ancient king!" I rode on top of Ban's shoulders, I was too short to even see my way through the crowd, I held on his head, "Captain, do we have to look at this stuff?" I whined, "You're really wearing an apron," King looks at Ban who was wearing a Boar's Hat apron, "Lets go find an arms vendor," Captain led the way, "Looking for something son? Or are you planning on becoming part of the festival?" We looked up and saw an old man sitting on top of a plank, "Nah, we're trying to look for a weapon, a really big hammer, we heard there might be one at this market," He says, "Ah, well that's easy enough, right there, behind that rock," He points at a large boulder, we made our way over, "Wow look! It's Diane's Gideon!" I pointed at the large hammer, there were people around it, inspecting the large hammer, "It was here all the time!" Captain puts his hands on his hips, I jumped down from Ban's shoulders, "Diane's gonna be so excited!" I jumped up and down, "Alright! It's time to start the Grand Vaizel Fighting Festival now!!" Someone shouted, "Yeah!" Everyone raised their fists in celebration, "Use of weapons are strictly prohibited, so let your fists do all the talking and sign your names up right away! The winner's gonna get 100 gold coins! But that's not all! You get to take home this giant war hammer!" He shook his fists in the air, "What a barbaric gathering," King muttered, "Talk about brutal, Right Ba-" I held Ban's hand, "We're gonna put our names in right Captain?" Ban bared his teeth, "Let's see who's got what it takes!" Captain had a smug look on his face, "Hey! Count us in!" Captain grabbed King's hood and Ban picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, "You can count me out!" King was getting dragged against his will, "This ain't a festival for little kids, get outta here!" A big muscly guy picks up King, the Captain and me, "Hey you twat, hands off my girlfriend," Ban punched him hard and the cracked the wall he made impact with, everyone oohed and ahhed in pain for the guy, "Hey this is a festival, just relax," Ban put on a condescending voice, "You know that my name is Taizoo right? I've been the winner of this competition for three years in a row," He jabs his finger in Ban's chest and walks off. The fighting festival's elimination round will now begin, fighters into the ring!" The announcer shouts, "Hup!" I jumped up on the elevated circle on top of the large boulder, "Man I wished I'd have stayed behind with Diane," King steps into the circle, "Now let's get ready to take Diane's sacred treasure back!" The Captain grinned.
