Chapter 2: Sword in the Source

POV: Y/n

Me: I now know why you call this place the Boar Hat Bar. Where did you even get a pig this large?

Meliodas: Giants.

Me: I thought they were almost extinct, with the exception of Diane.

Meliodas: They don't live in this kingdom.

Elizabeth: Giants? I've never seen one.

Me: They are great warriors, far superior to us humans, purely because of their size. I guess we're going after Diane first.

Meliodas: Nope. We're not going after one.

Elizabeth and I then fell to the floor. I got up first, incredibly pissed.

Me: Then what the hell are we doing?!

Meliodas: I need a restock, this village we're approaching is famous for it's booze. And you two can gain information while working.

Me: I will be cooking. No questioning it, we don't want to give them food poisoning. What village is this?

Meliodas: The village of Bernia

Elizabeth: What will I be doing Lord Meliodas?

Meliodas: You'll be the Boar Hat's Star Waitress.

As he said that he pulled out a pink uniform, that was rather ... provocative.

Me: I am not wearing that.

Meliodas: You won't have to.

He then pulled out another set of clothes.

(Sleeves button up too keep out of food)

Me: Do I not get an apron?

Meliodas: They're in the kitchen.

Me: I'll see what we have in stock.

I went back into the kitchen to find it mostly stocked, with fruits and vegetables, a few dozen eggs, meat stored in salt.

Me: Looks good, I think I'll write to Jericho, see if she's still loyal to the king.

I then remembered what Jericho was doing in there and ran to find Meliodas.

Me: I know where to find Ban!

Meliodas: Where?

Me: He's in Baste Dungeon, I've got a friend who may still be loyal, I'll see what I can do.

Just then Elizabeth came walking out in her uniform.

Me: *whistle* Stunning.

Meliodas: Yeah

Hawk: *Biting Meliodas* Don't get any ideas now

Me: I'll write to my source and see what the situation is there.

Meliodas: Who is it? If I may ask.

Me: Jericho.

Meliodas: So she became a holy knight too huh, I thought she would fail.

I then hit Meliodas as hard as I could, knocking him to the ground

Meliodas: I see someone cares.

Me: Shut up,

I then left to the room I was given to change and write my letter while Meliodas and elizabeth went out to get supplies

After writing my letter I went out to find Meliodas and Elizabeth, I found them outside a large group of people.

Me: What's happened here, is there some sort of strength contest.

Elizabeth: Some Holy Knight put his sword in the villages water water source so they can't make alcohol.

Me: Damn we can't have that now can we. I'll see what I can do.

I then made my way past the crowd and looked at the sword. Two rookie holy knights tried to taunt me.

Knight 1: You can't move a holy knight's sword kid, so get lost.

I simply ignored the two knights and started to lift the sword. However upon close inspection I noticed that the blade belonged to Holy Knight Gilthunder, one who I am not close to beating in terms of strength. I let go of the blade, which I had lifted a few inches, which was noticeable to the public and it fell back down it's hole. I could feel the people stare at me as I walked back to the bar, followed by Elizabeth and Meliodas.

Me: *Under Breath* Gilthunder, what happened man.

Meliodas: Lil' Gil's the one who did this!?

Elizabeth: Gilthunder how could he.

Just then a little kid came running into The Boar Har.

???: Excuse me mr, we need your help lifting the sword.

Me: What's your name kid?

???: Mead

Me: Mead, I'm not strong enough to do so, I'm sorry, but why would he do this?

Mead: I might have thrown a bug in his drink because he said it tasted like horse piss.

Me: So you're a prankster. I can see that becoming a problem.

Elizabeth: I know where you're coming from. When I was your age I climbed a tree to get my dad to pay attention to me. My dad had never climbed a tree before and he climbed it just to get me down.

Me: I remember the King breaking his ankle after falling from getting you.

Elizabeth: Yes and I blamed myself for weeks after that day.

Mead: Lucky you! My parents died when I was young and left me here!

Mead then ran out of the bar back towards the town and Elizabeth followed him.

Me: Meliodas let's go!

Meliodas: Don't you need to get that letter delivered?

Me: That can wait! Lets go.

Meliodas: Calm down, nothing will go bad. Mail that letter and we'll find Ban.

Me: Fine.

We then left toward the town center only to see Mead trying to lift the sword, which was as big as him, alone, and then I saw the other members of the village join in to help him, I couldn't hear what they said, but I could tell it got to Mead. I then saw Meliodas take some beer from the knights.

Meliodas: *Drinks beer* Guys who don't understand good booze shouldn't drink it.

Me: Remember me?

When I said that I appeared behind the two knights, seeing them run, out of fear to their boss, as a spout of water rose from the center of town.

Knight 1: That kid pulled Lord Gilthunder's sword out of the source

Knight 2: We must tell him!

I then saw the people toss Meliodas and Mead on top of the crowd as they cheered him on. I walked over to a building to see where I could send my letter off to.

Me: Excuse me, but is this a mail station? I have an urgent letter for Baste Dungeon

Owner: Yes, I will send my falcon to Baste Dungeon immediately, is there a name on the letter?

Me: Yes, and it readers eyes only.

Owner: It will be done sir.

I then returned to the Boar Hat and worked until nightfall.

POV: Jericho

I was in my room pissed about my recent demotion. When a knight ran into my room.
Me: Why did those damn Weird Fangs demote me! I was Knighted by the King himself!

Knight: Apprentice Holy Knight Jericho, I have a letter for you, your eyes only.

Me: I don't give a shit, burn it!

Knight: It's from Holy Knight Y/n, I think you'll want to read this.

Me: Give me the damn letter!

I took the sealed paper from him and slammed the door in his face. I then opened the letter and read it to myself.

Dear Jericho,

I don't know if you are aware of this, but some Holy Knights have staged a coup-détat and have captured the King, Princess Margaret, and tried to capture Princess Elizabeth. The two of us were barely able to leave before the Knights busted down our door. I was told to find a group of warriors to form a resistance, I was planning on seeing if you would join us, as my right hand partner. I may see if I could get some information out of the Seven you are guarding. I will be staying at the traveling bar Boar Hat if you need to get in contact with me.

Sapphire rank Holy Knight Y/n

Ps: it appears that Diamond rank Holy Knight Gilthunder is a perpetrator in the coup-détat, so Great Holy Knights Hendrickson and Dreyfus may be involved. Don't let anyone know of my intentions, or about the coup-détat.

Me: So Y/n may be coming here. I'm nervous, this coup-détat could be a problem, but I can't tell the Weird Fangs. I'll have to write back to inform him the the Fox's Sin of Greed Ban will give no information and is to be guarded at all times.

POV: Y/n

I was cooking in the kitchen of the Boar Hat when a man came running in looking for me as I felt a power nearing the village.

Courier: Are you Y/n, L/n?

Me: Yeah why?

Courier: I have a letter from you, your eyes only.

Me: From?

Courier: wouldn't say, only that she was a friend.

Me: Hand it here then.

The Courier handed me the note and left the bar, I ignored the power because it was heading back the way it went. So I read the note instead.

Dear Y/n

I have not heard about the coup-détat, and my loyalty remains to the King, so I will join you when the time comes, and Ban, Fox's Sin of Greed will not give out any information. However I have overheard the Weird Fangs talk to Diamond rank Holy Knight Gilthunder about orders from the Great Holy Knights. I will remain loyal to the kingdom, I also have some bad news, I was demoted by the Weird Fangs to Apprentice Holy Knight, why I don't know, so I don't think they need to know. If I make any further discoveries I will write immediately. Be safe out there, keep the princess safe.

Apprentice Holy Knight Jericho

Me: Damn, Jericho was demoted, well, it's good to know that she is loyal to the kingdom, however that may cause some problems.

Just then Meliodas walked in with his clothes torn to pieces

Me: Who did you fight?

Meliodas: Huh? Oh, I just returned a spear.

Me: To?

Meliodas: Lil' Gil, by the way, tomorrow we are walking through the forest nearby, rumor has it that there is a giant in there.

Me: Diane?

Meliodas: Don't know. But well check tomorrow.
