"A giant mushroom?" Meliodas asks once Diane says why she got small. "Mm-hmm. It happened after you guys went to town, Elizabeth and I were gathering ingredients for dinner in the forest. And then... I ended up having to borrow Elizabeth's outfit for the time being." Diane recounts what happened. "But then we didn't have any clothes that would fit me." Elizabeth shares. "Gotcha. So that's why you're jammed between her boobies. "Don't say it like that!" King shouts. "You likely encountered an eringi mushroom variation of the Chicken Matango. When they're threatened they release spores that shrink living things." Celeste observes. "Why didn't you say something from the beginning?" Meliodas asks, turning to Diane. "It's just..." She trails off, and the three hum looking at her.

"I really wanted to surprise you, Captain!" She cheers, jumping in Meliodas' arms. "No!" King shouts, seeing the gesture and Celeste frowns. "Being swallowed up in your arms is a dream come true! I've been jealous of Celeste for so long now!" Diane shares. "But you're the one who threw yourself at me." Meliodas tells her. "Hey, get off him, Diane!" King tells the Giant. "Oh, right! Put me down! Hurry up, hurry up!" Diane shouts. "Make up your mind." Meliodas states and King sighs. "Have a look, Captain! Ready to be naughty?" Diane asks, lifting her skirt, and Celeste decides it's best to leave.

Celeste stood in front of the ring watching Howzer and Taizoo fight. "Come on, now stop being stubborn and throw in the towel, will you?" Howzer advises. "No, it's not over!" Taizoo insists. "That's a problem. See, I'm not like Griamore. I really didn't wanna use this on a civilian. But I'd hate to be cruel to you by not getting this over with quickly!" Howzer says as a tornado forms on his hand. "Say goodnight!" Taizoo shouts, rushing at Howzer. "You put up a good fight, buddy." Howzer tells him, blowing him away with a tornado, and the crowd cheers. "Howzer wins!" Love Helm announces. "Yeah!" Howzer cheers. "Nice one. He's pretty good." Meliodas compliments. "He sure is." Ban agrees. "Next up is our third match, Cain vs Old Fart!" Love Helm shouts. My turn, huh?" King says. "Who in their right mind would come up with a totally tasteless name like that?" Diane asks. "It was me." Ban tells her.

"Why am I not surprised?" Diane questions. "Hey, come on. You gave yourself a pretty weird name too. Where did Matrona come from?" Ban asks her. "Actually, it's someone I used to know." Diane replies. "Let me hold Chastiefol for you." Celeste offers, stretching her hands out for the pillow. King hands it to her and walks onto the ring. "Go, Old Fart. Get 'em!" Meliodas cheers him on. "Ki... Old Fart, go!" Diane also cheers. "I now see why he has it in its pillow form a lot." Celeste comments, holding Chastiefol close to her chest, King transforms into his other form and gives the group a thumbs up. "If that's his game face, guess it makes sense." Ban says.

"Standing five feet five inches tall and weighing five Old Fart!" Love Helm announces. "Five pounds?" Celeste questions, turning to Ban who just shrugs. "Standing five feet one inch tall and weighing 108 pounds, Cain!" The old man stumbles and nearly falls, causing someone to ask if he's sure he isn't drunk. "Can we even call this fight?" Love Helm wonders. "All right, let the fight begin!" Love Helm shouts. "I can't believe King's fighting without a weapon! I've never seen him do that." Diane says. "Guess it's twice for me now. It's really something to see." Meliodas tells her. "It's that mind-blowing?" Diane asks. "Yeah, cause without his weapons..." King charges at Cain and tries to punch him, only to trip on a rock and fall. "King's super weak!" Meliodas shares as the crowd laughs. Cain lightly punches King on the head. "Man, he's tough!" King claims. "What a letdown! This battle is the opposite of epic." Love Helm says.

"I saw him fight a cat that swiped his snack from him once, and he lost." Meliodas shares. King takes a few steps back, glaring at Cain, who chuckles. "Well, give up?" Cain asks. King raises his hand, pointing it at Cain, trying to do something. "You know, instead of worrying about sacred treasures, maybe he should worry about learning how to fight." Celeste suggests watching Cain hit King in the face, throwing him out of the ring. "Old Fart's out of the ring. Cain wins!" Love Helm announces. "I got you." Celeste says, catching King with the pillow. "Sorry, you kind of caught me by surprise for a second." Cain apologizes. "That was so mean. All I was trying to do is use my Disaster power to make his rheumatism a little worst!" King claims.

"Next up is the last match in this round of the finals! It's Baan versus Meliodasfu!" Love Helm announces. Meliodas and Ban go up to the ring. "Hold on, having a weapon's against the rules." Love Helm reminds Meliodas. "Oh, this thing?" Meliodas asks, pulling his broken sword from its sheathe. "It's only for show." Meliodas tells him. "Oh, in that case, I'll allow it." Love Helm agrees. "Standing five feet tall and weighing 110 pounds, Meliodafu!" Meliodas stretches while everyone cheers. "Standing six feet eleven inches and weighing 170 pounds, Baan!" The referee announces, causing the crowd to cheer louder. "It's about time, huh? Guess we should get down to it." Ban voices. "Then let's go." Meliodas replies, cracking his knuckles.
