Synopsis

With the threat of the Demon King and Cath now passed, Merlin stays behind with Arthur to help him rebuild Camelot as an everlasting kingdom.

Meliodas and the rest return to Liones where the Sins go on their separate ways: Diane and King head off to the Fairy King's forest to plan their wedding, Ban and Elaine set off across Britannia as they planned decades ago, Gowther goes off a journey to see what the present has in story for him, and Hawk (with Merlin's help) goes to Purgatory to erect a grave for Wild, only to find out he is still alive.

Meliodas and Elizabeth go off to accept Bartra's proposal as the new rulers of the kingdom, after they've visited all the places that Elizabeth's past incarnations lived.

Eighteen months following, Britannia has entered an era of peace with the Holy Knights returning to their place as the defenders of the kingdom: Slader and Simon traveling around to complete missions, Howzer training Guila and Jericho and the latter is told by Puora of something happening with Ban and Elaine.
