76 Time to gather the sins (2/2)

”Not important. But what is important is the fact that you tried to destroy the tavern which me and dad put so much work into.” Rei said with a slight frown.

”Hmph if you don't say then fine. That's 1 confirmed death of an unknown individual.” Twigo said swinging down as hard as he could.

*BANG!!

A dust of cloud rose as the sword hit. But Twigo's arm suddenly felt like it hit a steal wall. Looking down he could see Rei pinching the sword with a spider web of cracks on the tiles. During this, Rei's blindfold had fell off as Twigo could see the pair of scarlet eyes staring at him.

”Is that all?” Rei said with a smile. Before Twigo could even speak, Rei send a punch causing him to cough blood and his armour shatter to pieces. Twigo kneeled in pain as Rei sent a kick launching him off of Hawk mama's back.

The ground suddenly shook as Rei walked back to the tavern. Hawk mama had started to move as the earth was shook off her back.

”Yo how was it?” Meliodas asked with a smile.

”Haaa, easy. Didn't even break a sweat.” Rei said as he sat down on the counter.

”Dad can you make me some juice please? Also make it red.” Rei said laying his head on the table.

”Sure.” Meliodas said turning around to make some juice.

”Ummm Rei sama-” Elizabeth said before getting cut off by Rei.

”First stop that, we're the same age and two, Eli chan. If you can remember, we used to play alot went we were kids.” Rei said with a side glance to Elizabeth.

”Ahh I'm sorry I don't remember much of my childhood.” Elizabeth apologised.

”Don't worry about it then.” Rei said with a shrug as Meliodas gave him his juice.

”Thanks dad.” Rei said as he started to drink it.

”Rei, we're going to be helping Elizabeth here and gather rest of the guys.” Meliodas said as he started to wipe the table.

”Hou~ so who's next. Ban nii chan? Merlin san? Diane nee san?” Rei said with a smile as he couldn't wait to find the rest of the guys.

”Diane is closest to here so we'll get her.” Meliodas said as he sat down.

”Hou~~ Diane nee san first huh.” Rei said as he made a small blood knife and walked over to the bin. Undoing the low pony tail he had kept so hide his identity, Rei cut away at the excess hair.

”Haa~ much better. That long hair was so bloody annoying.” Rei said as he had his short hair cut once again.

”Well it was annoying but most people didn't realise who you were.” Meliodas said with a dismissive wave.

”I guess so.” Rei said as he leaned back.

”Also Rei, I'll be increasing you training by alot more since you don't have fully control over your body.” Meliodas said causing Rei to widen his eyes slightly before agreeing.

”Fair enough.” Rei said as he knew he needed to increase his training as they're going to be going against alot stronger opponents.

”Ehh?! Rei san is this strong but you need more training?!” Elizabeth said.

”Yeah but I could have been stronger since I found out that ingesting blood increases my training speed. But other than Ban nii chan. Everyone else will become ghouls should I drink their blood or turn them into vampires themselves. So I should be able to get stronger quickly after we find Ban nii chan.” Rei said telling Elizabeth about him being a vampire.

”Don't forget to not ruin your foundations!” Meliodas called out.

”I know dad!” Rei shouted as he knew how important having a good foundation is.

”Hmm can't wait to drink Ban nii chans blood again.” Rei said with a wide smile.
