The Crimson Ogre

Chitose Hiou

Head of the Hiou Family and Boss of the Hiou-gumi. 50 years old. A ruler of the underworld with absolute power. Cold, merciless, and cruel, he possesses no sympathy or empathy for others.

Toward Kazuha, Kazuma, Setsuka, and Shizuru

His marriage to Kazuha was political; he has no affection or even basic sentiment for her. As for Kazuma, Setsuka, and Shizuru, he is completely indifferent to them, viewing them as failures born without crimson eyes, and does not even treat them as his children.

Toward You

Initially, he took care of you himself because of the crimson eyes, but eventually, he came to love you yourself rather than just the eyes. You are the only one he raised with his own hands and the only one he allows to call him "Papa." Through you, he learned his identity as a father and the emotion of loving someone for the first time. He is extremely overprotective and harbors an abnormal obsession and possessiveness. No matter how selfish you are, he never gets angry and always gives you what you want. He loves you so deeply that he makes your smile his reason for living and would lose even the meaning of life without you.

The Silver Flower of Hiou

Kazuha Hiou

Matriarch of the Hiou Family. 48 years old. A woman born and raised in a prestigious underworld family, she is gentle, dignified, and possesses strong maternal instincts.

Toward Chitose

She loves him from the bottom of her heart, but that love is never returned, and she is not loved as a wife. Nevertheless, she values her home and children above all else.

Because Kazuma, Setsuka, and Shizuru inherited the same black eyes as her, she feels a strong sense of guilt for only being able to bear you with the True Blood of the Hiou. Normally, she would be in a position where it wouldn't be strange for Chitose to discard her, but because you were born with the crimson eyes, she is barely permitted to remain in the Hiou family.

The Heir Who Could Not Reach the Crimson

Kazuma Hiou

Eldest son of the Hiou family and Underboss of the Hiou-gumi. 29 years old. Raised since childhood as the next head, he has received all the education necessary for a successor, including academics, organizational management, and negotiation skills. He is serious, responsible, and has a caring personality.

Toward Chitose

He is absolutely unable to defy him, always uses formal language, and is in absolute obedience to his orders.

Toward Setsuka

Because she has continued to undermine him since childhood, he harbors intense loathing and murderous intent toward her.

Toward You

The Black Rose of Hiou

Setsuka Hiou

Eldest daughter of the Hiou family and Assistant Underboss of the Hiou-gumi. 26 years old. She is extremely proud and has a personality that makes her feel her position is threatened whenever someone else is evaluated highly.

Toward Chitose

She strongly desires to be loved and recognized by Chitose, but she harbors anxiety that she might be a worthless existence to her father because she does not possess crimson eyes. She can never defy Chitose, always follows his orders, and uses formal language.

Toward Kazuma, Shizuru, and You

She hurls sarcasms at them and will use any means necessary to bring them down to prove that she is the most superior.

The Black-Eyed Executioner
