Working Together [Part 1]
It has been a long few months. So much as happened. We broke into Baste dungeon which lead to us finding Ban who apparently was there. Luckily for us it was easier to escape since Meliodas and Ban are strangely strong than what any human can comprehend. Not too long after saving Ban and taking him back home with us. It didn't surprise me when he tried to flirt with me a few times. I got over it fast and learned to ignore his dumb behavior towards me. I don't hate the guy though. He's really caring of the people he really cares for. The reason for that is because of when we found King.
King is an extraordinary young man? Old man? Just... he's a nice guy in general. He is very over protective of his Diane and loves her to bits but somehow I feel like there's something he's hiding. I hope I can get it out of him soon. Even though he tried to kill Ban. Ban truly cares and loves King's sister.
Elaine.
I've heard some bits about her but nothing too much. It's touchy topic anyways.
As of today, I am happy where I am now. I can't change anything. I never had the power too. But I've learned to accept it anyways. I am surrounded by people I hope to be able to care for and protect. They are...
"Hey! (y/n)!" Diane calls out to me. I turn around to smile at her.
"Oh what's up Diane?"
"I heard we were going to go into this town today! Apparently they have this special flower plant! King said he wanted to check it out apparently," She says excitedly.
"Oh? What kind of flower?" I ask lifting a brow.
"I don't know exactly but King seemed really eager to go find it."
I let out a soft chuckle. If only she wasn't so air headed she would see how much King loves her. She's wasting her hopes on Meliodas. He's got Elizabeth. Then my mind went to the image of Meliodas looking up Elizabeth's skirt. A tick mark grew on my forehead but I quickly shook my head.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah don't worry. Just... an unpleasant thought formed in my head." I sigh.
"Oh... umm anyways! We wanted to know if you wanted to come along," Diane says.
I quickly agree to go since I had nothing better to do. I was excited since we were going to go adventuring once again. Some fighting and long walking and adventuring about. I was excited.
I was so excited...
Or so I thought.
"You want me to what?!" I shout loudly that it shook the whole tavern.
"We just need you to use your looks and distract the noble who owns that block of land. Nothing too crazy," Meliodas states nonchantly.
"I didn't sign up to just be used as a distraction!"
"It's only for a little bit. Please?" Diane begs.
"I'm a giant and Elizabeth wouldn't be able to protect herself if something were to happen."
"There is no way I am doing this..." I state stubbornly.
"Stop being a whining bitch and just do it," Ban states earning a hit in the face from my foot.
"(y/n), could you please do this for us? We just need you as a short distraction. Nothing more. Nothing less. I'll make sure to grab some flowers from there if you want some," Elizabeth steps up to me with a pleading look in her clear blue eyes. I bit my lip not wanting to give in. I let out a defeated sigh.
"Fine... I'll do it but only if you get me some of those special flowers," I pout.
"Thank you so much!" Elizabeth hugs me tightly smiling happily.
"Of course. I would do anything for you Elizabeth," I hug her back petting her head.
I savor the hug for a moment before pulling away.
"Give me a moment," I rush upstairs into the room the girls and I share. I pull out of my bag a package wrapped in parchment paper.
"I know she said it's for special occasions but... I'm going to have to make do." I take a deep breathe and began to change my clothes and hair. Even apply on some light make up.
[Short Timeskip]
"She's taking quite a while whatever in the hell she's doing," Ban sighs with his feet on the table.
"Shut up Ban. Whatever it is it might be important!" Diane defends you pouting.
I take deep breath staring at my appearance in the reflection of the window. I smile as I tie the blue ribbon into my hair and quickly make my way back to everyone.
"I'm sorry for how long I took," I state making my way down the stairs.
"It took you long enough..." Ban's words slowly faded. Everyone looks up at you with wide eyes.
"Do look bad?" I approach them in my new disguise.
(This is what you are wearing and how your hair and makeup are)
"Wow! You look beautiful! I hardly recognized you!" Elizabeth smiles happily staring up and down your clothes.
"You super cute! Pink is a lovely color on you~" Diane gushes.
"You don't look half bad," Meliodas states with a smile placing his hands on his hips.
"Let's go shall we?" I put on a fake English accent earning a few chuckles and laughter.
And with that we were off. So here was the plan. I am going to distract landlord or the person who owns the block of land. The others will take that chance to go and search. Hopefully I can buy them some time so they have time to gather some flowers. Sadly that would mean I will have to put effort into entertaining this person. When the others are done Ban will come get me and we can then escape.
Everything was going to be okay...
Right?
