Short Summary
Gradually, the characters arrive at a lonely village that is said to be closet to the Capital of the Dead. They begin planning to earn money for food, so Meliodas decided to open the Boar Hat. He later reveals that Ban is actually a decent chef, and when everyone was about to begin working, they discover that Ban had escaped. Elsewhere in the village, Ban discovers a young girl called Ellen who falls unconscious due to hunger. Back at the Boar Hat, Meliodas tells a past story about Ban and King. Seeing that Ellen had fallen asleep, Ban decides to help wake her up, when her brother suddenly appears. Without knowing the entire situation, the young boy stabs Ban slightly, before Ellen stops and explains to him. Abruptly, King appears in front of Ban and pierces a spear through his chest.
