01x04 - A Little Girl's Dream

[bunniefuu]

Princess Elizabeth, third princess of the kingdom of Liones,

is searching for the legendary rebels, the Seven Deadly Sins.

Her journey to save the kingdom continues with Meliodas, the Dragon Sin of Wrath.

A Giant girl they encountered in the Forest of White Dreams

turned out to be the Seven Deadly Sins' Diane, the Serpent Sin of Envy.

Just after she agreed to join their party,

the Holy Knight Gilthunder appeared in pursuit of Meliodas.

After a close battle, it appeared as if Meliodas had fallen at Gilthunder's hand.

However...

Thanks a lot, Little Gil!

Baste Prison and the Necropolis, huh?



I'll go check out one or the other.

Ah, I see. You deliberately took my blow

to learn the whereaboutsof your fellow Sins.

Let's pick this up later, 'kay?



I think not.

This is goodbye.

Catch ya later.

You heard the Captain.

Unhand me!

Didn't I teach you a long time ago?

Girls hate guys who shock them!

Thanks, Diane.

Wow, that vambrace is ruined.

This is a tale of ancient times,

when the human and non-human worlds had not yet split.

The Holy Knights, the defenders of the realm,

possessed tremendous magical powers and were both feared and revered.

But among their number were a few

who betrayed the realm and made enemies of all Holy Knights.

These knights were known as the Seven Deadly Sins.

Hey! You have some nerve,doing that to me, you swine!

It'll be my turn next time!

Are both of you all right?



Yep.

Hey! Where'd the swine go?



Aren't you the swine?



You smell good!

Sir Meliodas, you're hurt!

Oh, this?

This is nothing.

Look at all this blood!

Stop being so clingy with the Captain!

-But...-Being at his side is my job, got it?



I'll be the one to treat his wounds!

Hey, I got kicked really hardby that guy, right in the ass!

-Here?

-Those are my spare ribs.

-Here?

-That's my pork shoulder.

That's on purpose!

Hawk, I'll cool down your rump meatin a bit.

You're the only onewho ever worries about me, Elizabeth!

Dear God, please see fitto return the young men of the village

taken away by the kingdom.

Please visit divine retributionupon the Holy Knights...

Retribution...

Someone... help...

Right, then.

EPISODE :A LITTLE GIRL'S DREAM

Oh, that hits the spot!

You Holy Knight bastard...The next time we meet, I'll make you pay!

Oh, right. You said you knew him?



Yes.

Gilthunder was originallymy older sister Margaret's guard.

He was like a big brother

and looked after meas if I were his own sister.

He continued to serve useven after the death of his father,

who was the Holy Knights'grand master at the time.

So why...

No way! Was he also the onewho took my father c*ptive?



What's the matter, Elizabeth?



There really is no going back to the way things were, is there?



Ban, the Sin of Greed,has been thrown into prison,

and King, the Sin of Sloth,is dead and in the grave, huh?



What's your take on this?



I don't have one.I'm not interested in any man but you.

But we're ignoringthe important thing here!

Look at what a sexy babeI've grown into these past years!

Those wanted postersare just artists' renditions.

Okay, I've decided!

Aw, you could've ridden on me!

We're going to Baste Prison firstto pick up Ban!

Yeah!

What made you decide on Baste Prison?



-It's closer.-You're so simpleminded!

I-I'm against this!

Isn't tending to your woundsour top priority right now?



If you get into another fightwith a Holy Knight in your condition...

Doing this might heal me.

-R-Really?

-Of course not!

Elizabeth.

Don't worry about me. This is no big deal.

A little sleep, and I'll be right as rain.

G'night!

Knowing that guy, I was expecting himto ask you to sleep next to him.

I'll go check on him.

And sleep next to him?



Sir Meliodas. Can you handlegetting changed by yourself?



Sir... Meliodas?



BASTE PRISON

Report from the palace, sirs.

Two members of the Seven Deadly Sinswere found in the Forest of White Dreams.

It is believed that they are likelyto come steal that man.

Oh, my!

The Seven Deadly Sinsare finally coming, are they?



(WEIRD FANGS)HOLY KNIGHT FREESIA

Will they come straight hereor stop at that nearby town?



Either way, we should prepare somethingto welcome them.

(WEIRD FANGS)HOLY KNIGHT GOLGIUS

Darn you, Golgius, you always makethe most unpleasant moves.

Your move, Freesia.

Sirs...?



There is no cause for concern, Jericho.

This prison is an experimental fortress,

expressly builtwith the coming battle in mind.

Lowly members of the Seven Deadly Sinswon't have an easy time taking this place.

Indeed. Plus, we Weird Fangs are here.

(WEIRD FANGS)HOLY KNIGHT RUIN

O-Of course, Sir Ruin!

And yet...

will they really come?



(WEIRD FANGS)HOLY KNIGHT JUDE

True, I doubt that our prisoneris worth so much to them

that they would take such a huge risk.

He hasn't seen the light of daysince we captured him five years ago.

He isn't allowed to move or speak,and is given hardly any food at all.

He is being slowly tortureduntil he finally dies.

The Sin has gained a companion,but we still outnumber them.

I almost feel sorry for the legendwho was once called the Sin of Greed.

Humming?

Where's that coming from?



APPROX. MILES NORTHEAST OF BASTE PRISON

DALMALLY TOWN

Hey! Does this town have a--

It's a Giant!

It's a huge girl!

Wait! I just want to knowif this town has a doctor!

Captain...

I told you so!

Hawk and I will look for a doctor!If you could--

No, I'll help him!

B-But...

Everybody's gonna run awaythe instant they see you!

All right, fine.I'll stay here, so go find a doctor.

R-Right!

Stay put, got it?



I found them!

Just as you predicted, Golgius.

You're going, Freesia?



Yes. I will make the first move.

And the last, while I'm at it!

Captain...

This medicineis my own special concoction.

This will take away his pain for good.

Thank you so much, Dr. Dana.

To be honest, it's a miraclethat he's alive at all.

In addition tothe rather deep sword wound,

he has electrical burnsas if he's been struck by lightning.

How could a child get such injuries?



It's my fault, isn't it?



I said that I wantedto stop the Holy Knights,

and that's why he risked himself to learnthe location of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Elizabeth...

I'm sorry.

Sir Meliodas, get better soon, okay?



So, what now?



Let's wait here until he wakes up.Going to Baste Prison can wait.

I'll go to Baste myself.

I think he'll want to go to Basteright away once he wakes up.

I can't let him do that,not when he's not fully healed.

Lady Diane! I-I'll go with you!

I don't want you getting underfoot.

I mean, look at that tiny bodyand those spindly arms.

What can you possibly do?



All you're good for

is changing the Captain's washclothand being his nurse, right?



Is that any way to talk to her?

!

The majority of the girls in the worldaren't as big and strong as you!

I want to do somethingto help Sir Meliodas, too.

I don't want to causeany more trouble for him.

I don't want him to risk himself againlike this because of--

Don't read anything into it!He didn't risk himself for you!

He's always...He's always been like that with me, too.

Lady Diane...

It was when I'd left my hometownand was traveling on my own.

I got into an argument with an orderof knights over something stupid.

-Fiend!-Now you've gone and done it!

Hmph! You started this!

Honestly, a bunch of men drawingtheir swords against a cute little girl!

What do you mean "little," you Giant!

Go back to your own lands!

As if there's any differencebetween men and women with you monsters!

Oh yeah?



That's tough talk coming from humans,a puny race who's only edge is numbers!

Why, you... That's the last straw!

We'll cut you down to size!

Wh-Where did this kid come from?



You att*cked us, knowing thatwe're the Order of the Golden Wheat?



You should be ashamed of yourselves,grown men ganging up on one little girl!

Why, you...! Do you want thoseto be your last words?



Bastard!

Retreat!

You're safe now. Did those guys scare you?



That was the first timeanyone had ever asked me if I was scared.

To a girl who wasso much bigger than him, at that.

I remember it as if it were yesterday.

I remember the sensationthat I was exactly the same size

as the boy who was standingin front of me.

But of course, I knew what I feltwas just a delusion.

I'll never be as smallor as dainty as you.

I can't fit inside that building,so I can't even tend to him.

But if there's one thing I can do for him,it's fighting. That's about all.

I wish I had the strengthto fight the Holy Knights.

The strength to protectthe people I care about.

My wish...

is to be small.

Lady Diane...

What's that?



It's coming from the directionof Baste Prison.

Is that... a raincloud?



Is it that guy again?

!

No, that sound, it's...

It can't be...

Bugs?



Even worse! It's a huge swarmof poisonous insects!

Is this an att*ck from Baste Prison?



So a Holy Knight is behind this?

!

Diane! These guys are all yours!

But I hate bugs!

Taste my dear little scarab beetles'Rain Capriccio!

RAIN CAPRICCIO

Not good... The whole town'sgonna be wiped out at this rate!

Sir Meliodas...

Elizabeth!

I'll dissolve themalong with the entire town!

I might hate bugs,

but if means helping the Captain,this is nothing!

This is what Lady Diane's power can do...

She took out all the bugs! That's amazing!

I'm gonna squashevery last one of those bugs.

I suppose I should have expected that.

Hey, teach me how to do that!

Look after the Captain!

We will!

Can you believe he's still out coldafter all that ruckus outside?



How does the patient look?



Better, thank you.

He's sleeping peacefullythanks to the medicine you mixed for him.

He's sleeping like the dead!

Hawk, don't say such things!

That's... not inaccurate.

Dana, well done.You were successful in your task.

-What was that?

!-Who's there?

!

I gave him a poisonous mixture

of nightshade, belladonna,Spanish fly, and henbane.

This boy will never wake up again.

That wasn't medicine to treat his wounds?



You see, not even we can clash head-onwith the Seven Deadly Sins

and emerge unscathed.

Besides, the kingdom said to useany means necessary.

Who are you?

! Show yourself!

It is a pleasure to meet you.

I am the Holy Knight Golgius,member of the Weird Fangs.

A Holy Knight!

Where did he come from?

!

Princess Elizabeth.I have come to take you home.

Hey, want to bet on who will win?



The Weird Fangs or the Seven Deadly Sins.They're fighting in town right now.

That's a sucker's bet.

The "Seven Deadly Sins" is downto just its captain and one other.

They're no matchfor four active-duty Holy Knights, so--

Great!

That sounds like fun!

No way...

It feels so good to stretch my legs!

Ban, the Seven Deadly Sins' Fox Sin!

(SEVEN DEADLY SINS)BAN, THE FOX SIN OF GREED

How did you escape?

!

And why now?

!

Isn't it obvious?



I kicked the door down.

As for why now, you two were havinga fascinating conversation.

You said he was alive.

Our captain, I mean.

What's this commotion?



Lady Jericho!

Ban of the Seven Deadly Sins, eh?



I don't know how you escaped your cell,but return there immediately.

Careful, kid. Is that any wayto talk to a hero?



And you address an apprentice Holy Knightlike me as "kid"?



For a prisoner at death's door,I see your mouth is still quite healthy.

Inform Sir Golgius and the rest!

Say that Jericho was forcedto k*ll the prisoner

when he escaped and offered resistance!

Yes, ma'am!

Do you think I had you take off too much?

Well, it's nice and breezy,so I guess I'm okay with it.

Hey, you've got skills. As a hairdresser!

You dodged my blowswith all those injuries?

Injuries?

What injuries?

Impossible! Your limbs were skeweredwith steel spikes until moments ago!

I suggest you remember this, kid.

The only wound on me is this one.

Wounds made by himare a special case, I guess.
