Chapter 23: Some Day, I Swear (いつか必ず)

While Hawk runs as fast as he can to bring Elizabeth to a safe spot, King stares at the petrified statue of Ban who smiles. As soon as King turns around, a mysterious light, Elaine, kisses Ban, restoring Ban back to normal. Only Ban can see Elaine's true form. Ban asks Elaine to show herself to King who desperately calls out to Elaine to see her. However, Elaine explains that one can only see if they have a strong connection between the dead and living. King is in dismay as he regrets leaving his sister back then. Before Ban leaves, he promises Elaine that he will make Elaine his. Meanwhile, Diane and Meliodas continue their battle against Guila.

Elizabeth informs King about Guila's attacks and tells King to run away while she attempts to pull Chastiefol from the ground.

Guila attempts to blast King with her Brilliant Detonation technique, but her attacks got intercepted by King's 5th form of his Chastiefol. Elaine mentions King's true name, Harlequinn, the king of all fairies.

Chapter 26: Farewell to the Deceased (死者たちとの別れ)

King glances too late as he didn't catch Elaine's true form in time. Arriving back in the abandoned village, Meliodas and his group find Guila whose body lacks her spirit. When Meliodas and his group arrive back, they find Luigi and Ellen bidding them farewell. It turns out Luigi and Ellen are spirits who are returning to the Capital of the Dead.

While Veronica is out, Meliodas sneaks in and knocks out Griamor and rescues Elizabeth. On the way home, Meliodas and Elizabeth gazes upon the fireworks in the skies.
