《Elizabeth Liones x Male Reader - Return of the Eighth》Part II

Elizabeth: *Shocked expression appears on her face* W-Wait!! You know Sir King and Lady Diane, (M/n)!?
(M/n): *Nods in reply* Of course I do!! They and the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins used to teach me back in Britannia years ago.
Elizabeth: *Looks at Diane and the others* Is this true?
Diane: *She and the others nod in confirmation* Yup!! And I considered myself his big sister back then too.
Elizabeth: Really?
Diane: *Nods in reply* (M/n) was like the little brother I never had.
Gowther: Literally.
(M/n): *Looks at Gowther in anger* DON'T MAKE IT WORSE GOWTHER!!
(M/n) then sits back down on his seat while sighing in annoyance.
(M/n): Anyways, what are you guys doing here? Aren’t you outlaws now?
Gowther: Correction. We used to be outlaws.
(M/n): *Confused expression appears on his face* Say what now?
Merlin: We are no longer considered criminals, young (M/n).
King: After the big battle we had with Hendrickson, we managed to clear our names and prove our innocence.
(M/n): Wait wait wait!! "Big battle with Hendrickson"? You mean to tell me that there was a huge fight fest back in Britannia?
Diane: *Scratches her head* It's a long story.
(M/n): So it would seem.
Meliodas: Also, the reason why we came here is to look for
(M/n): What do you want with him?
Merlin: We're on a quest to gather all of the Sins for a coming war that will determine the future of the world.
(M/n): A war is coming?
Gowther: *Nods in reply* Yes. And we’ll need all the help we can get.
Gowther: *Points at (M/n)* Including you, (M/n).
(M/n): *Points at himself* Me?
Meliodas: Of course!! You are part of the family after all, so why not?
Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n) shocked* You're a Deadly Sin too, (M/n)!?
(M/n): *Nods in reply* Yes, but that doesn't mean I have a say in this matter.

Diane: What do you mean?
(M/n): I'm not joining on your little field trip. Ever since you guys were branded as wanted criminals, I had to run away from home to avoid being arrested.
(M/n): I'm just lucky that someone like Grandpa Floyd was nice enough to let me stay in their house regardless of who I am.
Gowther: Wrong.
(M/n): *Looks at Gowther* What did you say?
Gowther: What you're saying right now is a lie. That’s not the real reason why you don’t want to help us.
Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n)* (M/n)....
(M/n) just stood by idly after hearing Gowther say this as both his hands turn to fists. Our hero didn’t want to admit it in his thoughts, but the Goat’s Sin of Lust is right. What (M/n) said just now isn’t the real reason why he doesn’t want to help them. They don't know what it is exactly, but it's something he’d rather not show than tell.
Even while he stood in silence, flashbacks of (M/n)’s dark past began to flash before his eyes while hearing the screams of people crying and begging to be spared.
Then, a few seconds later, our hero then snaps back to reality and finds everyone in the bar looking at him with concern.
Diane: *Concerned look appears on her face* (M/n), are you oka-
(M/n): I'm fine. *Turns around and walk heads for the door* Just leave Lyboruo as soon as possible.
(M/n): I want no part of this war you guys just told me about.
And with that said and done, (M/n) opens the door and then slams it closed as he leaves The Boar Hat unhappy and annoyed.
King: Sheesh, what's with him?
Gowther: *Shrugs* No clue. I've never seen (M/n) behave this way before.
Then, seemingly out of the blue, Meliodas and the other Sins notice Elizabeth walking past them and leave the Boar Hat.

Diane: Elizabeth!! Where are you going?
Merlin: *Looks at Diane* Where do you think, Diane?
Elizabeth: Sir (M/n)!! Sir (M/n)!! WAIT!!
(M/n): *Stops upon hearing Elizabeth* Huh?
(M/n): *Turns to the princess* If you're here to convince me to join on their quest Elizabeth, I recommend giving up cause it’ll just be useless.
Elizabeth: But Sir Meliodas and the others need you.
(M/n): For what? The Seven Deadly Sins are strong enough to take care of themselves. They don't need someone like me.
Elizabeth: *Nods her head* Yes they do.
(M/n): *Shakes in disagreement* No they don't.
Elizabeth: Yes.
(M/n): No.
Elizabeth: Yes!!
(M/n): No!!
Elizabeth: YES!!
(M/n): NO!!
Elizabeth: YES!!
(M/n): IF THAT'S THE CASE, NAME ONE THING I CAN DO TO HELP!!
*Silence occurs*
Elizabeth: *Struggles to answer* Umm....
(M/n): See my point?
Elizabeth: *Idea pops into her head* You can help them find Sir Escanor!!
(M/n): What!? I can't!! I haven't heard from the old timer since years ago.
(M/n): And if I were to know his whereabouts, I should've told the Captain and the others earlier.
Elizabeth: I guess you have a point there.
(M/n): *Sighs* Look, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n)* Hmm?
(M/n): As much as I want to help Meliodas and the others, I just can't. Not right now.
Elizabeth: Why not?
(M/n): *Looks away* It's…. complicated.
Elizabeth: Okay. But please (M/n). *You look at her* Sir Meliodas and the others really really need your help.
(M/n): I-.... I don't know.
Elizabeth: Then answer me this.
(M/n): Huh?
Elizabeth: Will you really deny your friends’ need for help?
Upon hearing this question, (M/n) stayed silent as he thinked this through for a moment. Then, after almost what seemed eternity, (M/n) then gives Elizabeth his answer.
(M/n): *Sighs in surrender* Okay, I'll help the captain and the others.
Elizabeth: *Joyous expression appears on her face* YAY!!
(M/n): But on one condition.
Elizabeth: *Looks at (M/n)* Yes?
(M/n): After I help Meliodas and the others, they leave. I stay here in Lyboruo, and do not take part in this so called war. Are we clear?
Elizabeth: *Nods upon hearing this* As long as you're helping Sir Meliodas and the others, I'm okay with it.
*Awkward silence occurs and then-*
(M/n): *Falls onto ground*
Elizabeth: *Shocked expression appears on her face* SIR (M/N)!!
(M/n): ….
Elizabeth: *Crouches to (M/n)’s level* Sir (M/n), are you okay!?
(M/n)(In thoughts): S-So c-c-cute!!
Elizabeth: Are you in shock? or something?
Gowther: *Appears out of nowhere* Incorrect. He actually had what I like to call a "".
Elizabeth: *Turns to Gowther* Uh, what does that mean?
Gowther: It means (M/n) does this whenever he sees something cute. Which means that when you smiled, he thinks it's cute.
Elizabeth: *Blushes hard upon hearing this* S-Sir (M/n) thinks I'm.... c-cute?
Gowther: There's no doubt about it.
(M/n)(In thoughts): I'm beginning to remember why I hate Gowther so much now.
When (M/n) finally recovered from his “”, he looks behind Elizabeth and finds Meliodas and the rest of the Sins walking up to him.
Meliodas: So, you gonna help us (M/n), old buddy?
(M/n): Yes, yes I am.
Meliodas: *Gives a thumbs up* Sweet.
(M/n): *Groans* This better be worth it.
Elizabeth: I can assure you, Sir (M/n).
(M/n): *Looks at Elizabeth* Hmm?
Elizabeth: *Smiles* It will be worth it.
Elizabeth: *Shocked expression appears on her face* Oh my!!
Gowther: (M/n) had another cuteness shock and fell on the ground again.
(M/n)(In thoughts): WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME!?
