Troublesome Moments in the Future

The moment clarity came back to me, and I started realizing just how many troublesome moments that will appear in the future, I knew that I was in trouble.

Going to different worlds is cool and all but the number of conflicts and annoyances there will be troublesome.

Shaking off the useless thoughts of my unique mind I go to Meliodas and give him my pinkie again. Meliodas then grabs my pinky with his whole hand and squeezes it.

"Coo..." Meliodas frowns and his peaceful sleeping face was replaced with a slightly uncomfortable look.

"Pftt" So adorable.

I use my free hand and use my finger to fix that frown of his. The moment I touch his forehead, black energy outlined with red appeared and started to spread out and slowly enveloped Meliodas like a blanket.

So cool.

Stars appeared in my eyes as if I was a kid who saw the coolest thing in the entire world.

Then I look back at Meliodas' face and saw that he was cooing like a normal adorable baby.

Then just like that! 4 months passed.

Baby Meliodas is still as adorable as ever. Me? Haha, well I am still as handsome as ever. Anyway. During these 4 months, all the group chat members have gotten closer. We could even be called friends.

Something I don't have in this world. In these 4 months, no missions have been tasked to us, so we have been going on with our daily lives.

Me, taking care of Meliodas.

Hanabi, training for succession and her ninjutsu.

Yato, is a spendthrift and spends all his money.

Hori, still taking in wonders with her new eyesight and focusing on school.

Levi? Well, Levi is being Levi and killing titans.

There was a video chat function in the group chat which we all used once we started to get more acquainted with each other.

Let's go back to that time.

Baal: "Hello there."

Hori: "Hello. Nice to meet you all

Levi: "Hey"

Currently, Levi was wearing his natural cleaning clothes.

Baal: "Oh wow, Levi sounds and looks like just what I expected. He looks like a typical clean freak HAHAHA.

Levi in his world is currently on his phone but if you look at his face then you can see his face twisting with a tick mark on his forehead.

Levi: "Your voice is more annoying than reading your text"

Yato: "Oh hello!

Hanabi: "It is nice to see everybody even if it is not in person."

Baal: "Hanabi is always so polite. Free up a bit and make fun of Levi with me."

Hori: "Baal, it's not nice to make fun of Levi.

Baal: "Ah, Hori. You just don't understand the pleasure in doing that."

Levi: "Baal."

Baal: "Hmm?"

Levi: "Don't forget who beat you in cup pong 9 times in a row."

Baal was in his room with his typical bathrobe on him showing his bare chest. If you look closely at his face, you can see multiple tick marks on his head.

While Levi in his world has a victorious smirk as if he knew he won this battle.

Baal: "THAT GAME IS RIGGED!"

Anyway.

Power-wise, my control over my energy got immensely better but I wasn't even close to the point of Killian's control.

It took a while to make it appear by will instead of accidentally and despite what I did when I covered Meliodas up with my dark energy, trying to make a shape of my own will was difficult to down.

However, after 4 months of practicing, I can finally have it appear on my own and shape it however I want. The problem is the strength. Trying to control it was difficult since it would either be too weak to control, or it would either be too strong.

Even trying to control whether I wanted the energy to be solid, liquid or gas was difficult.

I haven't told anyone about this ability since most of everyone here was the demon king's lackey. Even my master, Killian. The reason why I remember parts of the seven deadly sins plot was not because I have an awesome memory.

It was because I repeatedly made myself remember and even wrote it in my journal to remember it.

I asked Killian what he called his power the other day and he just looked at me weirdly and said,

"Why would I name it? Is your unique mind wandering again?"

So, I decided to take it into my own hands and name it, unlike my foolish master. I called it 'Abyss Magic'. Cool right?

Today I decided to ask Killian to take me to the human's place and where they live.

Killian and I live in the same castle or mansion if you will.

I found Killian walking in the hall carrying some books and wearing glasses. He truly looked like a studious guy.

"Killian. Killian. Killian. Killian, Killian." I badgered Killian repeatedly.

Killian stopped walking, turned around, and looked at me with a slightly annoyed expression, "Yes?"

"Can you take me to where the humans live? I wanna see them. Pretty please?" I said with a pleading voice and showed my puppy eyes.

"Okay."

After that short answer, he just walked away and left me standing in the middle of the hall with a shocked expression.

"..." Okay? That's it? I thought I would have to plead some more and even offer some training to him since I know how much he loves to train.

Thinking about his reason for the quick response, my thoughts froze. Did my puppy eyes work perhaps? A newfound and plausible answer popped into my mind.

I ran to catch up to Killian. Damn, he's fast.

Finally catching up to him I asked, "So when are we going?"

"Now."

"Now?"

"Now."

"But I didn't even get changed yet!" I said in a distressed voice. First impression matters!

"When do you ever change out of your white robe. I started to think you like to show your bare skin everywhere as a preference."

"W-what. Just why do you have so many questionable thoughts about me?!" Just what is it with his mind that always pictured me weirdly?

Killian then sighed and switched the subject, "Are you going to stay like that or are you going to get properly dressed?"

Not mentioning the subject change, I don't say anything and just run back to my room to get changed.

I then got changed into a black suit with a white tie. Put on a black jacket with purple outlines. I then put on my black gloves. I let my long black hair flow down to my shoulders without tying it up.

I looked at the mirror and saw my reflection.

Who is this handsome gentleman? My narcissistic side was coming out, but I managed to reign it in.

I walk out the door, but I didn't go Killian's way. After a little bit of walking, I get to a room, and I kicked down the door.

"Oi! Jackson!"

As if Jackson knew that I was coming here, he was standing on the side of the broken door while slightly bowing.

Jackson has the appearance of an elderly butler, and he is dressed gracefully in his traditional black uniform. Jackson's hair is entirely white and combed back with a strand of hair falling down on his face, and he also has a medium-length beard that is about the length of a pinkie that is entirely white. He has visible wrinkles on his hollow face, which makes him seem gentle in appearance.

"I will be leaving so take care of Meliodas until I come back."

Jackson bowed down a little more, "Yes young master Baal."

After receiving the confirmation, I then run back to where Killian is located.

"You are finally back. Did you tell Jackson to take care of young master Meliodas?"

"Yep. Let's go!"

We then exited the mansion and Killian summoned up a cloud for us to sit on.

Killian then looked at me and said, "Let's go. Get on."

I nodded my head and got on and then we started our journey to where the humans are located.

Taking some time to get there, I decided to get some shuteye but when I fell asleep and close my eyes, I suddenly felt like I was back in the place again. The place where I was where it was just empty. Just darkness.

It was something I would occasionally get when I first reincarnated here but it hasn't happened for a while.

Seeing Baal sleeping so 'peacefully', Killian smiled. During these past few months, all Baal wanted to do was take care of his little brother Meliodas. He has always appreciated the sight of seeing Baal falling asleep next to Meliodas' crib.

Killian also realized that Baal was hiding something from him and using the strange box object, but Killian didn't care. Baal was his young master. He will take care of him no matter what. No matter the secrets he held but that is what I am supposed to do as his master.

A few hours later we finally arrived where the humans were but not before receiving a notice from his phone,

[A mission has been selected!]
