---and then---
Kuro lets him go minutes afterwards. Gowther then compromised with the Holy knights by taking the head and giving it to them directly to avoid any fights.

[King's POV]
The holy knights left. 'I am so glad it turned out well.' I thought as I sighed relieved. The peace returns. For a while before the monster rises once again, seeming stronger than ever.

Gowther expained about it briefly about how it was originally a holy knight. Also the fact that she used her armor to seal it hence the situation.

Right after that, Kuro ran to it and used her dagger to slice it to pieces. It died on her hands, leaving only pieces of flesh on the ground.

Kuro walked back to us, she was about to say something before getting punched and lunged far behind. She kept her stance and stayed standing after that punch. To see the person who punched her to be none other than her own brother.

"What the hell!?!" She screamed.

"You killed him-" Meliodas said before getting interrupted by her. Since she was far her voice isn't clear but I can still hear it.

"Ahaha. Of course. How typical of you. Thanks, that hit reminded me just how shitty of a brother you are. Meliodas." She said before disappearing to thin air. This time I got the feeling that we won't meet her for a long time.

"Why did you do that?" I said angrily somehow at him making her leave.

"We could have saved him." He said sternly, mad as if he was not the one at fault.

"Incorrect. There is no way to do such thing. If we left him alive he would cause further destruction. Hence I believe her actions were the best of all, though yours aren't" Gowther said before walking away probably to the Boar Hat

"You screwed up, Cap'n~." Ban said before leaving him as well.

I glared at him before following those two and floated away. Before I did, I heard a damn it from him. But I didn't stop, but floated faster to the Boar Hat.

<Time skip>
It has been a few months after Kuro left. The ten commandments or so I have heard appeared and are now our enemy. We found Merlin and Escanor Me and Meliodas are distant, because of that time.

I would not talk to him even if we were in a room alone, he would ask others to call me. I would still follow orders but would leave passive aggresive comments.

I know that he regrets it. I know he is faulting himself over and over. But I won't forgive him so easily. She was kind, she cared about me. I am the only one who knows her other side of personality.

The time not seeing her pains my heart. I felt empty. I no longer can smile so widely as I can before. I changed so much because of the her absence. I no longer have that feeling when I see Diane. Perhaps I moved on.

The fights against Holy Knight has ended. We found out that it was all his plan to frame us in order to resurrect the demon clan.

But it was too late as they somehow managed to get the keys to resurrect them and the ten commandments made their way back to this world once again.

We can't even fight back. I am scared, worried, and anxious. I feel hopeless. Our strengths are like ants to them.

Diane is starting to get her memories back of me. Not the best time, because I can't seem to find any lingering feeling for her in my heart. I am a mess. The girl that I no longer like suddenly liked me back. How am I supposed to react. I really don't know.

I keep thinking of her. I keep finding myself missing her. She has been missing for a few months. How long will she avoid us. No one knows where she even is.

I also found out what her words means. Gowther is just a doll. And that is why she can hug him comfortably.

She disappear so quickly so easily without a trace. It's just like she is not real. She was just an imagination. I sighed at the thought and decided to float around to get some fresh air.

I floated around the town to see a familliar figure. She has the same height, the same hair, I unconciously reached and gripped her wrist.

She turned around and I saw her face, She IS Kuro! Unknowingly tears were threatning to fall out of my eyes. I jumped and hugged her, not caring that all people's attention are on me.

"Shit." She said before pushing me away and ran. I jumped quickly on my sacred treasure and floated, following her.

She looked back and looked infront again before running faster. I floated faster than my original pace as well, not wanting to lose her. I don't want to be apart from her any longer. Is this love? This is, right?

I smiled finally unraveling the mystery of my strange behaviours. But, focused back to the present.

But when I looked infront, she was completely gone. Is this her conceal technic again? I want to see her, I want to talk to her, I want to be beside her. I went down and my feet touched the ground as I looked at my surrounding.

"Kuro? Are you there? I won't tell I promise." I said. She still didn't appear. Is this how she concealed all her tracks just disappearing? What am I going to do? I might not see her in a long time.

When that thought popped up in my head, tears are just falling like a waterfall. Seconds later, she appeared.

"Why are you crying? Did I do something?" She said worried so she walked closer. I smiled at her kindness, an idea pop up, an idea to make her stay. I then hugged her tight not giving her a chance to escape. This is my idea.

Knowing my idea will most likely fail due to my horrible physical energy compared to her, I went to plan B, I said the words I have been wanting to say, "I miss you. Please stay."

Practically using her kindness, by begging her to stay.
