88 Elaine (1/2)

Rei was soon woken up by Jenna calling for him.

”Hey Rei, they've finished their training. Are you going to help Merlin now.” Jenna said.

Rei opened his eyes as he got up.

”Sure.” He said simply as he got up.

Soon Rei saw the statue of Merlin and started to examine it.

”Hmm, it's just a high level seal. Nothing I can't undo.” Rei said causing Merlin to watch in curiosity.

Pointing a finger upwards, a magic circle appeared above the statue as the petrified parts start to flake off.

”Hou~ you knowledge in seals have surpassed mine now.” Merlin smiled proudly.

Rei chuckled slightly.

”It's all thanks to you Merlin, if you didn't teach me the basics I would be lost.” Rei said as her hologram disappeared and his eyes fluttered open on her body.

Rei hugged her before she fell onto the floor.

”Ara.” Merlin said as he hugged Rei back.

”Sorry I didn't huge you early Merlin. I would have fell through your hologram.” Rei said to which Merlin only laughed slightly.

”It's fine, you're making up for it now arn't you Rei chan.” She said as they separated.

”Right, are we going to look for Ban nii san now?” Rei said.

”Not yet, we haven't got a clue where he is yet but we might know where Diane is.” Merlin said as they went back to the group.

”I should be able to break Gowthers spell on Diane nee san once we find her.” Rei said.

”Say Rei chan, so I heard that you escaped the demon king in purgatory. Can you tell me in detail?” Merlin asked.

”Hmm, only for you Merlin. Keep it a secret ok?” Rei said as he smiled.

”Of course.” Merlin responded.

”So it started with me arriving, the overgrown prick wanted me to be his successor instead of dad so I refused and held off against him erasing my emotions and changing my mind set. So a few centuries went by and the overgrown prick wanted to try my cooking.” Rei started to talk about his time in purgatory whilst Merlin listened patiently.

”.....So when he tried to eat the food, I had one of my strongest weapons to restrain him giving me enough time to jump down the gate and landed here.” Rei said as he finished his story.

”So what's this strongest weapon you have that managed to retrain the demon king?” Merlin asked interested about what Rei said about his weapon.

Summoning Enkidu, Merlin saw a spiral on golden chains appear around Rei.

”This is Enkidu, the chains of heaven. The stronger someone is or closer to god. The tighter the chains bind them and seal away their power. So for someone like the demon king this is their worst enemy.” Rei said showing Merlin the chains.

”Rei chan, be careful ok? You never know if someone of the goddess clan will find out and kill you because of these chains.” Merlin warned causing Rei to smile widely as Merlin didn't forget to remained him of the dangers.

Rei retracted Enkidu as they were about to reach the rest of the group.

”Yo Merlin, you got your body back.” Meliodas called out.

”Yes captain, it's thanks to Rei chan over here.” Merlin said pointing to Rei.

King suddenly perked up as he muttered.

”Elaine....”

He was about to fly off when Rei grabbed hold of him.

”Let me go Rei.” King as frowning slightly.

”King nii san, I'll come with you. I'll be able to teleport you over there and help in case a commandment shows up.” Rei said as King paused.

”Merlin, dad. You two go look for Escanor nii san and I'll go help King nii san.” Rei said as Meliodas just smiled.

”Be careful out there.” Merlin said.

Rei nodded as he walked out with King.

”So King nii san can you tell me roughly where to go?” Rei said as King nodded. Pointing to the direction, Rei held onto King's shoulder as he started to teleport them towards the location.

Rei stopped once they reached the fairy kings forest.

King looked around nervously but he couldn't find her.

”Gerheade! Where is Elaine!” King called out is slight panic. Gerheade only pointed to a direction before King flew off leaving Rei looking over to the direction where he flew off before looking at Gerheade.

She was a fairy with a long yellow dress that covers her legs and a green hat that covers an eye.

”You're brother is Gloxinia right.” Rei said shocking her as she went on guard.

”How did you know?” She said frowning.

Rei only shrugged.

”So do you know that he is still alive?” Rei said shocking her.

”Impossible!” She cried out as she tried to use nature magic against him but shocked to see the trees refuse to attack him.

”It's not impossible. He was forced to become one of the commandments and he should be showing up soon.” Rei said sitting down on a make shift chair he made using magic.

”How can I trust you.” She said in caution.
