Rei was sitting on the roof of Boar Hat while he waited for the next stop. Soon Hawk mama stopped and embedded it self into the ground once more. Elizabeth walked out slightly confused as to why she stopped."Don"t worry, Hawk mama is just tired and we also need to restock a little as well." Rei said as he jumped down from the roof.
"Dad want to come with me to buy some supplies?!" Rei shouted out to Meliodas.
"Sure." Meliodas said as he walked out.
Before Rei could even ask Hawk. The pig had already started to sleep on one of the tables. Rei only shrugged as the trio made their way to the village.
Rei was frowning as he could see the village having a dead atmosphere and a severe lack of water. Meliodas and Elizabeth also frowned at the sight.
Rei putting a hand on the shoulder of a villager and asked him about what happened.
"You see our village of Bernia main source of income was our Bernia Ale but a holy knight didn"t like it so he stabbed the sword in the centre stopping our water source. Now we can"t make Ale to support the village. Hais..." The man sighed as he walked away.
Rei and Meliodas nodded to each other as Rei walked towards where he could see the gathering of villagers. He could also see two soldiers laughing cruelly at the villagers attempt to pull out the sword. Rei patted them on the shoulder as they turned around. The could see Rei"s red eyes piercing into them causing them to s.h.i.+ver as they saw Rei look exactly the same as his poster.
"Are you laughing at their attempt to save the village." Rei said coldly causing the soldiers to frantically shake their head.
"Hou~ But I"m pretty sure I did hear you laugh at them. So are we lying here?" Rei smiled causing the two to s.h.i.+ver.
"Then you don"t need your arms any more." Rei said as he chopped down on each of their shoulder.
*CRACK CRACK!!
Sounds of bone breaking sounded out as the soldiers lay there not being able to use their arms.
Rei looked at them coldly before he put on a smile and walked over to the villagers.
"Hey guy"s let me try ok?" Rei said as their ropes snapped from their attempt.
"Hais, young lad. Don"t bother this sword is one that only a holy knight can pull out." Yhe village head said with a sigh.
"Trust me ok? After all even if I fail you lose nothing." Rei said walking up to the sword. The moment he placed his hand on the hilt, lightning flashed towards him. Rei opened his mouth and ate the lightning.
"Hou~ Gil chan has improved quite abit." Rei said before pulling out the sword with ease causing the water to flow and the villagers freeze in shock before cheering.
Walking over to the crippled soldiers, Rei looked at them.
"Where is Gilthunder right now? And if you lie..." Rei said pointing a sword at them.
The duo panicked and could only stutter out the location.
"Hou~ Might be a bit far for my arm strength right now...." Rei though as he probably couldn"t throw it the sword at Gilthunder.
"A bow should do." Rei said as he traced out a bow draining him of 1/35th of his current reserve.
Notching the sword onto the bow. Rei drew back as he sent mana into the bow causing in to light up. Rei then sent lighting to the sword tip so that it will strike out in a specific manner when it hits.
"Fly...: Rei said as the sword flew out in a streak of blue.
"Now both of you f.u.c.k off before I break your legs too." Rei said untracing his bow. The soldiers quickly ran away in panic.
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.
"d.i.c.k move Gil chan...also f.u.c.k 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 b.i.t.c.h. 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 efficiency with 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.
"Nis.h.i.+s.h.i.+s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, 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.
