77 Bernia (2/2)

Elsewhere, Gilthunder who was practising felt a sword traveling towards him in a extremely fast speed. Quickly jumping back, Gilthunder avoided the sword which combust into streaks of lightning etching out a message.

”Dick move Gil chan...also fuck you.” Followed by a middle finger causing Gilthunder frown as he thought about who could have done this. There where only a handful of people that called him Gil chan.

”Rei...” Gilthunder thought as he narrowed down the suspects. Gilthunder shook his head as he picked up the sword which he frowned when he couldn't pull it out. The lightning then etched another message.

”Karma's a bitch. This sword can't be pulled out by you right now and same with the messages.” Followed by another middle finger. Gilthunder could only sigh as he made his way back to the castle.

Rei suddenly smiled as he could feel Gilthunder activating his second message. His control with magic had improved other the years as well since he continued to do Merlin's training but applying seals himself. Now he could bring put more power and efficiencywith his magic even to the point that he can make messages like what he had just done.

”Rei chan, what have I told you about hurting them beyond repair?” Meliodas said with a sigh.

”Nishishishishi, sorry~ Sort of got angry at the fact that even people like that could have a role above commoners.” Rei said with a laugh.

”Hahaha I guess so. When we sort this rebellion out I'll need to talk to Bartra about this.” Meliodas laughed.

”Oh yeah Rei we're going to hold a party for the village so you ready to cook up a village size portion of food?” Meliodas asked with a grin.

”No problem, should help me train my body a little.” Rei said as he stood up.

”Forge on...” Rei said as he started to make a huge pan surprising the villagers as a pan just appeared out of no where.

”Right then guys!! Help me put the ingredients in!!!” Rei shouted out as he used his magic to light up a large fire below the pan.

Rei then proceeded to make food with the pan as everyone can see him work easily with this ridiculously huge pan. Rei was sweating heavily when he had finished the portion enough for a village and sat down panting a little while everyone was cheering for the amazing food they just tasted.

Meliodas walked over with some Bernia Ale and handed one to Rei.

”Dad you know I don't drink.” Rei said with a small tired smile.

”Just try it for today. After all, you did just save a village.” Meliodas said as he sat down.

Rei though about it a little and decided to drink only for today. It was only after quite a few pints did Rei start to have a deep blush. Rei was about to reach for another one when Meliodas stopped him.

”I think that's enough for today.” Meliodas said shaking his head.

”Fine~” Rei said in drunken voice.

”Hey dad? Can you help me with something?” Rei asked.

”Sure what do you need help with?” Meliodas asked drink more Ale.

”I have a name I remember, but every time I do my heart hurts. I don't remember what she looks like, what she likes, whats her personality...But I know that she was important to me. Every time a girl came up to me and say they love me, my mind would tell me don't accept you'll let her down...My heart feels hollow dad..It hurts.....” Rei said as he laid his head on his arms.

Meliodas could only sigh as he could hear the sorrow in Rei's voice. He put his hand on Rei shoulder and said.

”Hais...Just hold onto that name and never let go. If your heart still aches, let the rest of us fill it in for you ok?” Meliodas patted Rei's shoulder.

”Sure dad....” Rei said as he fell asleep.

Meliodas could only shake his head as he didn't know his son held such sorrow in his heart.
