Ch 41-getting to know the crew

When I teleported the scnerie changed In Front of me from the fiery castle to the calm and green forest that I left my marked knife at.

Unlodging the knife that I staked at the tree, I put the the it back into my inventory.

Now then we're are they?.

[Meliodas is that you-] (Merlin)

Looking behind me I could see Merlin and the others standing there as they were probably waiting for me.

"Heya Merlin, sorry it took so long I was kind of busy" I apologized to them.

Hm? What are they looking at me weird?.

"Captain what are ya covered in blood" asked Ban with a strained expression, as if he was scared of hearing the answer

'oh dam! I forgot about Akagi's blood!' I literally turned her into a sprinkler when I ripped off her head so I shouldn't be surprised that I'm drenched in blood but I had completely forgotten about it.

"Well it's complicated, I had to take care of some bad people that wanted Kanna and Rex" I answered.

Hearing my answer both Topaz and Ban that were carrying the kids nodded in understanding.

[So you did end up taking care of the?] Asked Merlin as he was the only one aware of what had happened, but on the other side Ban and Topaz didn't. All I had told them was that we were leaving at the moment and I would catch up with them in a bit.

"Yup, all good. But she was quite troublesome, and she had quite the strong fire so it made her harder to kill without killing her immediately l"

[Good, at least we have her off our back now]

"Well not completely" I said in a serious tone.

[What happened?]

"Seems like somebody else was pulling g the strings behind Akagi. She seemed to work under someone, he even gave her some sort of power boosting serum that made her stronger during battle. We should leave now to the next town, Indian whant hi. Or her to track us down"

[*Sigh* we can't catch a brake can we, first the kids and now some mysterious guy is after us. Should we return to the Luofu?, it should be safer back there?]
