81 Festival part 1 (2/2)

”THANK YOU REI CHAN!!!!” Diane shouted as she hugged Rei and cried. Rei smiled as he patted her on the back.

”Come on Diane nee san, you should be able to switch between forms by inserting some mana and if you want only your arms to enlarge then you just insert mana into the seal and direct the mana to your arm and it should do it.” Rei said separating from her hug.

”Now let's go. Don't tell the guys about this and keep it as a surprise for them.” Rei said with a grin making Diane smile as well.

”Un just give me a moment.” Diane said as she when to change her clothes. Rei stood there as he waited patiently for her.

Soon she was out and in casual clothing which she was never able to do before. She smiled before giving it a twirl.

”What do you think Rei chan?” She asked as she smiled at Rei.

”Un, Diane nee san looks beautiful in those clothes.” Rei said smiling causing Diane to smile wider than she did.

”Thanks Rei, this is one of the happiest days of my life.” She said looking at Rei sincerely.

”As long as you like it.” Rei said smiling.

”Now we should go before the guys get worried.” Diane said as she walked with a slight skip signalling her happiness.

Rei smiled as he took the bag and followed her. They soon reached the area around the arena as he and Diane went separate ways so that she could surprise the guys.

Approaching the group, Rei waved to get their attention.

”Hey kiddo, where's Diane?” Ban asked as he couldn't see Diane.

”Diane nee san will show up later. Right now you guys should register before it's closed while me, Hawk and Eli chan make a stand for Boars Hat.” Rei said pointing at the registration point.

Rei then walked next to Elizabeth and Hawk.

”Right then lets go find a good place shall we?” Rei said as the duo followed him. They soon found a spot not too close to the arena but not too far either. Rei crouched down as he placed both hands on the ground and made a make-shift stall with an out door eating area with some tables and chairs all made from stone.

Opening his bag, Rei placed the sign Boars Hat as he set up all of the equipment. Before he had even started to cook, there was a huge queue waiting outside as they all heard of the legend of the Boars Hat and wanted to try the food.

Elizabeth helped take the orders while Rei cooked them causing the people to be intoxicated from the aroma. But thankfully, the aroma didn't reach the arena so the competitors weren't distracted. The people truly got to experience the feeling to god like food with an eye candy like Elizabeth around. People even paid more money just so that they can get their portions faster. Hawk distributed the drinks causing them to be drunk mid day but the food stopped them from getting violent.

The first round was a battle royal where everyone fought in the arena. Rei could see the group easily passing while Diane would wave smile towards him every time they had eye contact. Elizabeth was confused to who Rei had smiled towards but ignored it as she though he was just happy for the group.

It didn't take long for the quarter finals to start as the first contestant was Diane vs Griamore, a holy knight. Griamore had tried to push Diane out of the ring using his ability as Diane looked backwards.

”Go for it!!” Rei cheered for Diane.

Diane smiled as she brought her arm back and punched out. Her arm enlarged to it's normal size just before contact blasting Griamore away like a rocket. The resulting wind had caused Diane's hat to be blown off as the rest of the group watched with their jaws dropped at Diane currently. Especially King. Rei only smiled as Diane jogged over to Rei.

”Hahaha Rei chan you should have saw their faces.” Diane said while she laughed.

”Yeah I did.” Rei nodded as the rest of the group arrived.

”Diane?” King asked unable to believe that Diane was like this.

”Hey~ Rei chan made a seal to allow me to switch between both of my sizes at any time I want.” Diane said.

”Hey good for you Diane, you got your wish granted by kiddo.” Ban said with a smile as he sat down.

”Yep! Rei chan is the best!” Diane said causing King to glare at Rei with jealousy and rivalry. Rei could only shrug. Soon it was King's match against a drunken old man which Rei knew was Cain Barzad, a friend of Meliodas from the kingdom of Danafor before it's destruction.
