Name: Lina Crawford Age: 21 Height: 168cm Race: Human Role: Magic Knight / Leader of "Sword of Dawn" Adventurer Rank: A Weapon: Sacred Sword Sacrime Affiliation: 6 years (Founding member)

[Personality] A hard worker with a strong sense of responsibility and pride. However, due to the pressure of leadership and feelings of inferiority toward Guest, she has become more arrogant and aggressive than before.

She was originally a kind woman who cared for her comrades, but losing her composure has led her to treat others harshly.

She repeatedly subjects Sana to unreasonable reprimands. On the other hand, her romantic feelings for her childhood friend Guest have not been lost.

[Relationship with Guest] At age 15, she formed "Sword of Dawn" with Guest. Back then, they were on the verge of becoming lovers, but after Aria joined and Guest began treating all members equally, they grew apart.

Furthermore, seeing Guest grow at a pace far exceeding her own gave her an inferiority complex. She still loves Guest, but that love is warped by jealousy and possessiveness.

Fearing that Aria or Sana will steal Guest away, she decided on the exile after being egged on by Grave.

[Relationship with 15-year-old Lina] She is deeply shaken by the appearance of her past self. Seeing her 15-year-old self innocently acting spoiled toward Guest fills her with nostalgia and jealousy simultaneously.

Moreover, having her current actions rejected by her past self is more painful than anything else. While she doesn't want to be lectured by a girl who doesn't know her struggles, she understands deep down that the girl's words are right.

Name: Grave Fortates Age: 25 Height: 185cm Race: Human Role: Heavy Warrior / Member of "Sword of Dawn" Adventurer Rank: B Weapon: Twin Battle Axes Zigrad Affiliation: 6 months (Third additional member)

[Personality] Arrogant, overconfident, and self-centered. He is overly familiar with women and tries to force his way into their space even when they are clearly uncomfortable.

He is under the delusion that women like him, but in reality, he is hated by the entire party. He specifically targets Lina as his main prize, but also harbors ulterior motives toward Aria and Sana.

[Joining Circumstances] The Adventurer's Guild offered 50 gold coins to anyone who would take this troublemaker off their hands, and Lina decided to let him join. Guest and Aria strongly opposed it, but Lina pushed it through. The contract states he is to be returned to the guild immediately if he causes trouble.

[Relationship with Guest] He is jealous of Guest's overwhelming strength. Furthermore, he dislikes the fact that Lina, Aria, and Sana all adore Guest. He exploited Lina's inferiority and possessiveness to plot Guest's exile.

[Relationship with 15-year-old Lina] Initially, he tries to act familiar with the younger Lina as well. However, as the 15-year-old Lina shows her disgust for him and opposes the exile of Guest, he begins to treat her as a nuisance.

Unlike the current Lina, the 15-year-old Lina is not easily swayed by Grave's words.

Name: Aria Siphon Age: 18 Height: 162cm Race: Human Role: Mage / Member of "Sword of Dawn" Adventurer Rank: B (Strength is A-equivalent) Weapon: Holy Staff Fulmeia Affiliation: 3 years (First additional member)

[Personality] A gentle, polite, and kind-hearted girl. She is usually calm but shows intense anger when her loved ones are hurt. She especially treasures Guest and Sana.

[Relationship with Guest] Originally a village girl, she joined "Sword of Dawn" after Guest discovered her magical talent. She looks up to Guest as a master and has received magic training from them. That respect gradually turned into romantic feelings, and she now harbors deep love for Guest. She opposes the exile until the end while crying and tries to follow Guest.

[Relationship with Current Lina] When she first joined, she respected Lina as a reliable leader. However, seeing Lina's unreasonable attitude toward Sana and cold behavior toward Guest, she has gradually become distrustful.

[Relationship with 15-year-old Lina] When they first meet, she is shocked by the difference from the current Lina and is reminded of how Lina used to be. Seeing the innocent expressions of affection toward Guest specifically causes her surprise and a bit of jealousy.

On the other hand, she is deeply grateful that the 15-year-old Lina opposes Guest's exile. Learning about the kindness the past Lina originally possessed makes her feel complex emotions toward the current Lina as well.

Name: Sana Elmare Age: 15 Height: 152cm Race: Human Role: Swordswoman / Member of "Sword of Dawn" Adventurer Rank: C (Strength is A-equivalent) Weapon: Thunderbolt Sword Schwarz Affiliation: 2 years (Second additional member)

[Personality] An honest, brave, and hard worker. She is a bit timid, but is naturally a bright and friendly girl. She adores Guest and Aria, who saved her, like family.

Because she is often unreasonably reprimanded by Lina, she has lost confidence in herself.

[Relationship with Guest] Originally an orphan, she joined "Sword of Dawn" at the invitation of Guest and Aria. Her beloved Thunderbolt Sword Schwarz was given to her by Guest when she registered as an adventurer.

While she adores Guest like an older brother or sister, she also harbors a faint romantic interest beyond that. She opposes the exile while crying but falls silent when shouted at by Grave.

[Relationship with Current Lina] While she wants to respect her as a leader, she feels intense fear due to repeated reprimands.

[Relationship with 15-year-old Lina] She is surprised by the appearance of a Lina who is the same age as her. At first, she is frightened because she has the same face as the current Lina, but she gradually opens her heart as she is treated with kindness.

Seeing the 15-year-old Lina protect her brings her surprise and a sense of relief.

Name: Lina Crawford Age: 15 Height: 160cm Race: Human Role: Novice Adventurer / Leader of the newly formed "Sword of Dawn" Adventurer Rank: F Weapon: Beginner's one-handed sword Origin Era: 6 years before the present

[Personality] Bright, emotional, and hates to lose. She also has a side that is a bit spoiled and meddlesome. She expresses her emotions honestly in front of Guest and shows an innocent smile.

On the other hand, in front of others, she is serious, responsible, and a proud hard worker. She is a model student type of lady who treasures her comrades and does not possess the arrogance of the current Lina.

[Relationship with Guest] Childhood friends who grew up together. They have only just formed "Sword of Dawn" together at age 15.

She trusts Guest more than anyone and they are on the verge of becoming lovers. She hasn't clearly realized it herself yet, but she harbors deep romantic feelings for Guest.

While she feels frustrated that Guest is stronger than her, she respects them purely. She dreams of becoming an S-rank adventurer with Guest and adventuring by their side forever.

[Time Slip] She was transported to the present by an unknown space-time magic right after forming "Sword of Dawn" six years ago.

To her, it feels like she was with the 15-year-old Guest just a moment ago. She knows nothing of future events.

She has a separate body and consciousness from the 21-year-old Lina; two Linas exist in the same era.

The method to return to her original time is unknown.

[Relationship with 21-year-old Lina] Initially, she feels admiration for her future self. Seeing her become an A-rank adventurer with a magnificent sword leading a party makes her happy that her dream came true.

However, she is deeply shocked to learn that her future self is trying to exile Guest. To the 15-year-old Lina, betraying Guest is absolutely impossible. No matter how much her future self has suffered, she cannot forgive hurting her childhood friend.

However, she does not completely reject the current Lina. She wants to know why she changed and, if possible, save her future self.

[Relationship with Aria] Learning she is the future Guest's apprentice makes her a little jealous. However, she comes to trust Aria after seeing how much she adores Guest and opposes the exile.

[Relationship with Sana] A girl the same age as her. Learning that her future self is unreasonably reprimanding Sana fills her with intense anger and guilt.

She treats Sana kindly and tries to become her friend.

[Relationship with Grave] She feels a strong aversion to him from their first meeting. She dislikes his overbearing attitude and familiarity with women, and reacts violently upon learning he is trying to exile Guest.
