The Seven Deadly Sins: Seven Days

A spin-off of The Seven Deadly Sins, this light novel explores the fateful meeting between Ban and Elaine in vivid detail. Far to the north of Britannia lies a forbidden woodland known as the Fairy King's Forest, a sanctuary where humans are strictly barred from entering. Its rightful ruler, the Fairy King Harlequin, vanished seven centuries ago, leaving his younger sister Elaine to shoulder an immense burden alone. For seven hundred years, she has guarded the sacred Fountain of Youth against human greed, enduring endless partings and profound isolation until her tears have nearly run dry. Her solitary existence is abruptly interrupted when a young man named Ban trespasses into the forest, driven by his desire to claim the legendary fountain. What begins as an encounter between a guardian and an intruder gradually transforms over the course of seven fleeting days. Through their time together, Ban slowly mends the deep wounds within Elaine's lonely heart, drawing them closer with each passing moment. Yet, even as the distance between them fades and genuine affection takes root, an unspoken uncertainty lingers over what fate ultimately holds for them both.
