Ayano yawns as she wakes up, she looks around to see Meliodas already gone from the room. It was already pretty late in the day, how her fiancé manages to have so much energy after last night she has no idea.

After changing for the day she heads downstairs to see Meliodas and the others looking at a flier.

"What's that?" she asks as she reaches the bottom of the stairs

"Oh morning honey" Meliodas smiles at her

"morning" Ayano kisses his cheek and wraps her arms around his neck "so what's that?"

"Hm" Meliodas looks down and reads it "The Great Vaizel Fight Festival will be held in a few days. The winner gets any wish granted"

"Vaizel?" Ayano questions

"It's already time for Vaizel's annual fighting festival, I can't believe it's already been a year since we got Ayano back" Meliodas wraps his arm around her waist

"that's right, we met lady Ayano at the Fighting Festival last year" Elizabeth smiles "she and sir Meliodas fought a round"

"And I won" Ayano smirks

"but I let you win" Meliodas smirks as well "if we both fought for real their's no telling who would win"

"you've always gotta ruin my fun" Ayano pouts

"What a tempting prize though, doncha think?" Meliodas asks

"No, no, no! This is definitely suspicious!!" Howzer speaks up

"Are the Ten Commandments behind this?" Arthur asks walking up

"Probably" Meliodas replies "What other groups would do something like using a demon to send out flyers"

Hawk jumps up "Come on, Meliodas! No matter how you think about it-"

"No matter how you think about it, it's a trap!" Hendrickson says

"Don't steal my line!" Hawk shouts

Howzer places his hand on Gilthunders shoulder and the two talk. 

"We can't sense Escanor anymore, so let's swing by and take a look" Meliodas says

"A-Are you serious? Unless... Do you have a plan?" Hendrickson asks

Meliodas punches his fist into his other hand, grinning like an idiot "Nope! It just looks like a lot of fun!"

"Oh dear god" Ayano facepalms

"Oh come on honey you know you're looking forward to it" Meliodas smirks

"I'm more concerned about how my future husband is going to deal with it" Ayano says as she sits on the counter

"The same way as always" Meliodas tells her

"With absolutely no plan whatsoever" Ayano says as she crosses her legs

"You know it" Meliodas gives a thumbs up

"I'm marrying a dummy" Ayano sighs and leans back on her arms "but I guess it's not so bad"

"you love me" Meliodas says as he puts his head under her legs

"Meliodas just what are you doing you idiot!" Ayano shouts

"Nice, red" Meliodas comments

Ayano kicks him out from under her and he goes flying into the wall, she crosses her arms and glares at him.

"Sir Meliodas you really should stop looking at girl's underwear" Elizabeth comments "it's rude"

"aw I was just playing" Meliodas pouts

"You're always doing this" Ayano sighs

"If you sit there like that you're way too tempting" Meliodas chuckles "by the way nice choice of underwear"

"shut it you perv" Ayano sticks her tongue out at him

Meliodas smirks before going over and kissing her

"Meliodas!" Hawk shouts and hits him over the head "don't you have any decency!"

"No he does not" Gowther answers

"oh there you are brother, you've been so quiet" Ayano looks over at him

"Indeed, I have been observing" Gowther tells her "we are heading to Vaizel, correct?"

"Yep, It's sure to be fun" Ayano smiles

"only you and the captain would find this kind of thing fun" Gowther pushes his glasses up "going straight into unknown enemy territory is not a smart move, especially this early in the game when their is surely a trap waiting"

"Oh don't be so stingy, this will be fun" Ayano tells him "you're going to fight as well won't you?"

"I suppose if my sister will so will I" Gowther agrees

Hawk mama soon stops and the group looks outside

"Looks like we're here" Meliodas says

They all leave the tavern and get off the giant pig to look at the maze in front of them.

"Hey Elizabeth, you should stay here" Ayano looks at her "just in case, this could be really dangerous"

"But still.. I'd like to come" Elizabeth says "I may not be useful but-"

"yeah yeah I get it, quite your yammering aunty" Ayano sighs

Meliodas stops and looks at her "Aya"

"Huh?" Elizabeth looks very confused "did you call me aunty?"

"...hm?" Ayano stops walking "did I?"

"Yes hon" Meliodas flicks her head and whispers "be more careful"

"whoops sorry Lizzy" Ayano smiles "just an accident"

"it's alright Lady Ayano, do I remind you of your aunt?" Elizabeth asks

"..yeah.. in a way" Ayano replies before continuing to walk again

They all walk into the maze.

"Lady Ayano" Elizabeth runs up to Ayano

"hm?" she looks at her

"Um.. where have the others gone?" Elizabeth asks her

"What do you mean?" Ayano looks around to see only herself, Elizabeth, and Hawk "damn it we got separated!"

"oh no" Elizabeth says worriedly

"Meli!" Ayano shouts looking around

"I didn't even realize that they were gone until now" Hawk says "I can't believe it"

"neither of us did" Ayano sighs "this maze is thick with magical energy, I wouldn't be surprised if we were all separated on purpose"

"Lady Ayano, what will we do now?" Elizabeth asks

"Well... I guess we get through this maze" Ayano replies "it's the only thing we can do"

The three of them start walking through the obstacles in the maze till they see a sleeping Diane.

"huh, Diane's here too" Ayano mumbles

Hawk stands in front of Diane, Diane slowly wakes up and goes on her hands and knees, her mouth drooling "Here piggy, piggie. Come here and play with me~ Don't worry, don't be afraid, just a little knock on the head then a little tie upy with the rope then roast you nice and crispy and gobble you allllll up!!" Diane says and starts punching the ground trying to hit Hawk who keeps dodging

"Goddamnit! Diane! What the hell is this shit you're pulling now that we're finally reunited?!" Hawk shouts at her

"Th...The pig talked?!" Diane freaks out a little, "And why do you know my name?"

"We're friends Diane" Hawk tells her

Diane picks Hawk up shouting how she doesn't care if it is a dream or not, that she is just going to eat him

"Diane" Ayano calls out and she looks over at her

"huh.. Aya?" Diane asks confused

"yes it's me" Ayano smiles "please put the pig down he's a friend, not food"

"aw" Diane says before placing Hawk down "but he would've been so tasty"

"Diane I'm so glad you're okay! Everyone's been worried sick about you!" Elizabeth shouts

 Hawk runs behind Ayano, shaking like a leaf.

"Why... Does this human girl know my name Aya? Who are your friends?" Diane asks confused

"Diane, this is Elizabeth the 3rd Princess of Liones" Ayano replies "and the pig you just wanted to eat is Hawk, he's a talking pig who's a good friend"

"Do I know them?" Diane questions

"yes, but i don't expect you to remember right now" Ayano smiles

Diane picks up her Gideon as she stands up "It was great seeing you again Aya but I'm sorry, I can't trust humans. That's exactly what the Holy Knights of Liones did pretend to be our allies and then tried to kill Matrona"

Diane tells them not to follow her but Elizabeth says they should, Elizabeth and Hawk walk in front and Ayano follows after them

After awhile Diane looks at them "Why are you following me?"

"well why not?" Ayano asks "we're going in the same way, besides it's not like it's a crime to follow someone through a deadly maze"

"hm.. I suppose" Diane says before looking at Hawk and Elizabeth

"Hey we're not following you! We just happen to be going in the same direction you are!" Hawk shouts

Diane steps aside "I see then, after you."

Hawk and Elizabeth walk ahead and Ayano follows after them. Soon the ground below them disappears.

"trap!" Ayano shouts, she grows her wings and flies up

Diane grabs Hawk and Elizabeth before they fall to the ground, she jumps over the hole in the ground

"Thank you, Diane!" Elizabeth smiles happily

"Don't get the wrong idea, I just helped you out because I was there. Nothing more," Diane says then turns to Ayano who flew over and landed next to Elizabeth, "hey Aya, your wings are healed

"hm?" Ayano looks at her confused "healed?"

"yeah don't you remember" Diane says "you hurt your wing to save me, you got a hole right through it"

"huh.." Ayano still looks confused

"Well anyway I'm going to get going" Diane starts walking

"so.. did Diane already know about my wings" Ayano mumbles "I don't remember that though.. I know me and Meliodas saved her once, but I didn't think i'd sacrifice my wing just for a couple of bandits, I shouldn't have had to reveal my wings. So what is she talking about, has my memory really gotten that bad already?"

Ayano looks up when she hears Diane start screaming and complaining about leeches on her legs.

"Diane hang on!" Elizabeth shouts.

Ayano rushes over and helps Elizabeth to get rid of the giant leeches. After that, they get to the other side of the murky water and sit down.

"Phew! I made it" Hawk calls out and walks out with a lot of berries attached to him.

"Hawk you got food" Ayano smiles and pats his head "good piggy"

"Well you know, I'm just doing my job" Hawk says proudly

They eat the berries and suddenly multiple Meliodas's appear with a creepy grin

"That is some pretty tasty looking food you got here~" He smirks "A human girl, a giantess, a demoness, and a juicy round pig" the Meliodas look-alike walks forward

Ayano stares at them "..that's not Meli"
