Before long, Dreyfus found Hendrickson.
The two entered a secret chamber to discuss something...
In the town nearest to the Imperial Capital.
The group was eating in a fairly decent-looking tavern.
Diane stayed outside town with the Boar Hat Tavern, while Gold brought her food.
"We'll reach Wangdu tomorrow."
"Captain, have you decided what to do?!"
"Do we still need to sneak into the Imperial Capital to investigate?!"
Madara spoke as he served food to Elaine beside him.
Only two members of their Seven Deadly Sins had yet to arrive.
Now that Elaine had been resurrected, Madara wanted to settle things here as soon as possible, then live a peaceful life with her.
No grand undertaking could ever matter more than his Elaine!
"There's no need to investigate, is there?!"
"Whether it's Dreyfus or Hendrickson, they're both far too weak."
"As for the other Holy Knights, they might look powerful, but only to ordinary people."
"If they dare attack me, I'll crush that trash in no time!"
It was almost noon.
With his magic running wild, Escanor's temper was growing fiery as well.
"Let's eat first."
"Those guys should already know we've arrived here."
"We probably won't need to go looking for them ourselves."
Meliodas held a leg of meat, wholly focused on eating.
For this operation, all the seasoned actors had given up on keeping up the act.
Mostly because Uchiha Kazama's arrival had demolished the stage itself.
There was also what they had discussed earlier.
Uchiha Kazama would handle most things first.
As Meliodas spoke, he turned his gaze toward Uchiha Kazama.
"Huh?!"
"I've already started!"
"I killed all the Holy Knights coming in from outside."
"And those Holy Knights had probably already been controlled."
Uchiha Kazama picked up a jug of wine and spoke unhurriedly.
