"What do you need Ban? " King asked with an annoyed expression. He closed the door and stood there infront of the table.

"I just missed my old friend that's why" Ban said as he smiled.

"If you got nothing useful to say I'm going to leave" King said as he turned around and opened the door to leave.

Ban form his hand in a grabbing manner towards King's bag.

[×] Steal [×]

King stopped when he realized that his bag is like being grabbed by someone. He knows this ability very well.

"Get to the point Ban" King said as he turned around and saw Ban with his hand form like he was grabbing King's bag.

"Now now be patience. Promise you'll like what I'm about to tell you" Ban told him as he let go of King's bag. "Now sit down and listen in me for a while" He said.

" It better be. Or I'll kill you multiple times" King threatened him and settled down.

King and Ban are old acquaintances. They are both members of The Seven Deadly Sin. Ban is also known as the Fox, Sin of Greed or Undead Ban which the name explain itself, Ban is unkillable and greedy.

"King, I always knew what you wanted to do to yourself with all the things happend in the past. Which is impossible for you do do now because of me. I hope you still don't hold the grudge you always had on because of what I did in the past" Ban said felt genuinely sorry.

Both of them are not really in bad terms or either in good terms. Their relationship are kinda complicated. King hated Ban because he found his personality annoying and also because when King wanted to die because she lost the one he love the most, Ban gave some of his blood to King which makes King pretty much immortal. (I don't really know if that is possible in anime but it is in my novel).

"Well I still hold the grudge but not that strong anymore. It is still nice to have an old friend still existing in this world." King said. "If you're just not that annoying I've already forgotten all of that" King said as he said in an annoyed expression.

" Hahahah. Sorry for being so annoying" Ban said as he caressed his back of his head.

" Now for the reason why I called you here" Ban then became serious. King also looked at Ban seriously.

" I've been hiding something from you for a long time now. So I'm going to say sorry in advance" He said. King stayed quiet.

" I've been in the Capital of Dead for a couple times now and...." Ban paused. " I've been talking to .... Diane" Ban said.

" What?!?!?! King stood up. "But you told me the Capital Of Dead is gone!! You told me it's only a huge crater!!" King madly said.

" That's why I said sorry in advan-" Ban stopped talking when King's bag transformed into a spear and suddenly flew toward Ban's neck.

"Tell me a reason right now on why I should forgive you" King said. He's really mad right now and just wanted to stab Ban.

" Don't be hasty now and let me finish talking first" Ban said not even caring about the spear in his neck. King just stood there like he was waiting for him to finish talking before he made decision whether to stab him or not. But he really didn't care, he'll stab him anyways.

"Now. I've told you that I've been talking to Diane. That's 16 years ago. I've meet her there looking for Elaine but I really can't seem to find her but instead I found Diane. We talked a couple times even though we are not that close but we did talk. " Ban paused.

"And? " King asked waiting for more.

"The last time we talked is that, she told me that her time is up. I didn't really know what that means but he told me to tell it to you." Ban then said.

"Her time is up? What does that mean?" King started to wonder.

" I didn't know but I think it's pretty important." Ban answered. " Then after that, i didn't see her anymore. When I visited the capital of dead again, she was just gone. It just like Elaine. She just... disappeared" Ban said the last part slowly with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"So yeah tha-" Ban said but stopped when he feel the spear impaled his chest. Blood then started to came from his mouth, making him cough blood out.

"That's for lying to me" King said madly.

"Your Welcome" Ban said as he smiled toward King. He then withdraw his spear which transformed into a bag again and hold it in his hands. He was about to leave because he was so mad but he stopped when Ban called him again.

"King. She left a message to me for you" Ban words stopped King from leaving.

" What message? " King asked curiously.

"Man It's pain to say it all. Just use God's Eye and look at my past. February 14, 16 years ago. You can see her directly" Ban said as he smiled at King. King was surprised. He felt very excited but act like he didn't. Even he hate this annoyong guy, he also loves him. He then came close to Ban and started his chant.

[×] "My heavenly Majestic Eye, [×]

made with heavenly dragon's chest

Heard my Call,

[×] And listen to my Request". [×]

[×] ====== Come. God's Eye ====== [×]

King's normal eye then shine with golden light. It's easily noticed. Most people who was there during King and Jake fight mostly look at Jake which made it impossible for them to notice his eye since Jake was flying quite high in the air. That's why only couple people who saw it, and I meant his eye.

"Here I go." King said to Ban.

"Go. Enjoy every second you see her" Ban said while smiling at him :). King nodded and used his power on Ban. Only King can use his power on him. King did something to him so that Takagi won't able to use her power on Ban except him. He then focused on the date Ban told him. 'February 14, 16 years ago' The eye glowed again and just like that he can now see what Ban saw that day. First he saw Ban goes to the fairy forest to visit Elaine's body. He then continued his journey and goes his way to the "Capital Of Dead". And there he saw Diane. With her usual twin pig tails hair and heartwarming smile.

"Ban. I've been watching you from here. I was so surprised after you made a school. It looks fun, I want to go to school too" Diane said looking adorably. King wanted to cry. After 5000+ years he saw Diane. He was so happy. He felt very thankful to Ban.

"Ban. Please invite King to your school. He looks so lonely alone. " Diane said.

" I already planned on inviting him. It's better than him being alone all the time." Ban answered. For King, he was the one talking since it's a first person view from Ban's perspective that day so he was very happy that he was at least seem having a conversation with Diane.

"Ban. My time is almost up. When you see King, tell him that he should be strong and amazing.." Diane said.

" Yeah don't worry I'll tell him" Ban answered.

" This is probably my last time talking to you in here Ban. Our next meeting probably in the normal world. It's almost time for me to live again with King in that world. I wish I'll meet him even I can't remember him since they'll erase my memories from my past life. At least that's what the other soul told me." Diane said as she smile. King who saw this was surprised and happy at the same time. 'She will live again? In this world?' he said excitedly.

"See you again in the world Ban after I got reincarnated. Also tell that to King." Diane said

" Mahhh. I can't wait to see him again. King probably a SWIST unbeatable champion when I live again. I'm going to beat him with my Gideon" Diane said with a excited expression. King then turned off his eye like a light bulb. He felt happy and satisfied just from what he has saw. He then look at Ban.

" You lied again. You didn't say the wgole thing she said." King slowly said, no hint of anger anymore in his voice.

"It's better for you to see her says all of it" Ban said as he smiled at King. He was in a verge of crying now but he stopped himself as best as he could.

"Thank you Ban. I'm very thankful to you" King said as he bowed to Ban.

" It's fine. I'm just looking after my lonely friend. That's what friends are for right? Ban said still smiling at him. King was seriously gonna cry right now.

"Now whatchu wanna do?" Ban then asked.

King smirked and wiped his almost crying eyes and said "Become a SWIST unbeatable champion and wait for Diane." He said with a very happy expression.

"Well, Goodluck" Ban just said while still smiling. They talked for a while like what they used to do in the past. Well it's quite different since they always argue to each other in the past :). The conversation ended when the afternoon classes alarm rang.

"Oh my. I didn't eaten lunch yet!!" King yelled after hearing it.

" Hahah. You better get in or Hiratsuki sensei will get mad at you." Ban said while laughing.

" Yeah. I should go now. Thanks again Ban" King hurriedly ran through the exit.

" Oyy King. Your Sacred Treasu- I mean bag. Don't left it behind" Ban called out King.

" Oh my bad." King then made a few gestures in the air which makes his bag float and go towards him. He then left when the bag reached his hand. Ban just look at the door where King left. He looked at it for a while.

"Guess I am 16 years late. Right Diane?" Ban said as he looked at the Transferee papers of Diana on the table. "Welcome back..... Diane" Ban said to himself. He then smiled and looked at the window, enjoying the view outside.
