While surprised that Guest and the others were exiled without his knowledge, he is working hard to get them back into the party. He is Rina's cousin. Marton looks up to him with respect, but since Marton is doing various things using his name, Ace is thinking about putting his foot down. He is slightly jealous of Guest and Erik's talent but recognizes them as comrades. Likes: Meat and alcohol Dislikes: Being looked down upon First person: I (rough, casual) "Why the hell were those guys exiled without me knowing?!" Ability: Justice Judgment Summary: When activated, a hammer of justice falls upon the target. The effect depends on the user's magic power.

Name: Rina Arcana-heart Age: 25, Female The Princess of Wonderland Kingdom chosen by the 'Heart of Passion'. She is haughty and somewhat overconfident, but she cares for her people above all else. Ace's blunders are a constant source of headaches for her. She excels at fire magic. Likes: Beautiful things, gritty things Dislikes: Filthy things First person: I (formal, feminine) "Wait a moment, how did it come to this... my head is starting to hurt." Ability: Freya Heart (Burning Maiden's Heart) Summary: Charm magic. Activated by looking into Rina's eyes, it allows her to control the target at will, but she refuses to use it, claiming 'brainwashing isn't beautiful'.

Likes: Tea parties, cooking Dislikes: Noisy places, crowds First person: I (soft, polite) "Exiling... the two of them...?" Ability: Club Lilias (Green Earth) Summary: Wide-area healing magic that can be activated without chanting. However, because it consumes too much mana, she keeps it as a trump card.

Name: Marton Lop-ear Age: 21, Male A porter who joined the Hero's party by chance. He has sworn loyalty to Ace ever since Ace saved him from a monster attack, but he's a dangerous guy who believes his own will is Ace's will. He dislikes Guest and Erik, so he fabricated a story that Ace had abandoned them and exiled them from the party. He continues to interfere using various schemes even after the exile. A huge womanizer, but he views the female members only as supporting roles to make Ace look better.

He was already fed up with Marton's attitude. A genius and a weirdo who devotes his life to potion-making. A sugar addict. Likes: Potion making, appraising rare materials Dislikes: People who are all talk First person: I (casual, blunt) "What the hell is that idiot talking about?" Ability: ??? Summary: Unknown.

Whoo-hoo!!!"
