An eerie silence washed over the sins. 

Ban had lost.

The crowd started to dissipate as the sins rushed over to (Y/N) while she received the prize money.

"Hey you!" King yelled earning (Y/N)'s attention.

"Yes?"

"Don't you consider what you did as cheating?" King glared at the woman, who had now abandoned her cloak, letting everyone see every inch of evidence that she was female.
(A/N: See outfit in the introduction chapter :* )

She chuckled "There's no sign of it being against the rules and honestly, I find your little outburst quite immature. Your friend lost. Deal with it"
Her voice held some amusement but at the same time some annoyance. 

It was difficult for the sins to read her, considering 95% of her face was hidden.

Meliodas stepped in between them and looked right at (Y/N). 

"Look, I don't mind that you won, honestly it was one of the most hilarious things I have seen in a long time" he said, earning a laugh from (Y/N)

"But here's the thing, that hammer, we really need it. It belongs to a friend of us"

"Take it then" (Y/N) said shrugging.

"Eh.. Really?" Meliodas questioned looking taken aback.

"What, you changed your mind all of a sudden?" (Y/N) said while crossing her arms.

"No no no! I just thought it would take more convincing than that." Meliodas said holding up his hands in defence.

(Y/N) shrugged once more "I don't really have any use of it, a sacred treasure is useless in the hands of any other than the owner and besides, I am not keen about trying to carry that thing around"

"Wait what?!" King yelled.

"I said that I am not keen about trying to carry-"

"That's not what I meant!" King snorted "How do you know about the sacred treasures?!" 

(Y/N) only laughed "Knowledge is power my shorter-than-average-friend." 

Before King could throw another fit Meliodas stepped in once again.

"Where are you heading now, Miss...?"

"I just go where my mood takes me I suppose" (Y/N) answered, ignoring Meliodas attempt to find out her name. 

"I don't suppose you're 'in the mood' to travel with us for a while?" he grinned.  

Before (Y/N) could answer, they were attacked.

-Timeskip- 
(A/N : I know I'm skipping some parts but this is mostly for those who has seen the series and I don't want to repeat too much details. Let me know if you think I'm skipping too much ¯\_(^-^)_/¯)

After Guila and Jericho had escaped on orders from Helbram, who had disguised himself as Love Helm, King had taken Elizabeth to safety while Ban,(Y/N) and Diane was observing the fight between Meliodas and Helbram.

(Y/N) watched Meliodas in his current form, getting an unsettling feeling as the words 'protect it' were stinging her mind. She calmly started to walk towards the commotion, earning some shouts from Ban and Diane, and stood in between the two men fighting.

"Move away little girl this is between us!" yelled Helbram as he came towards her but just as he was about to strike she swiftly turned towards him and struck a dagger in his neck.

"Disruptor" She hissed at him.

"W-What?" He stuttered while holding his neck.

Then she leaned closely and whispered something to Helbram that caused his eyes to widen and him to retreat.

Then she turned to Meliodas and calmly took his hands in hers and placed them against her masked lips, suddenly his shadow parts started to fade away and his eyes returned to their original color.

"Welcome back" (Y/N) chuckled at the confused look of the blonde.

Out of nowhere the ground started to shake and (Y/N) dodged the foot just in time.

"NOT FAIR!" cried Diane "Don't just go around kissing our Captain!" 

"Won't happen again, scouts honor" (Y/N) laughed earning a huff from the giant.

"I guess we owe you one" Meliodas said

"I suppose you do, but I guess we could be even if you let me drink for free for a few days" (Y/N) said stretching her legs.

Meliodas eyes lit up "Does that mean?" 

"Yes, I'll come with you for a while. On one condition. Kindly keep the talking pig away from me"

"Wait, you've met Hawk? I thought he stayed at the tavern for the day" He said suprised.

"Wait you actually have a talking pig?"

"Yes? Who else would you refer to?"

(Y/N) tilted her head, looking behind him in Ban's direction, earning some laughter from Diane and Meliodas.

"Deal"

Sorry, this was shorter but I felt this was a good place to end this chapter, but next one will be longer and there will be more interaction between you and Ban.
Until then!
