■ Tom | Male | 25 years old | Alchemist Black hair, glasses, black alchemist robes.

Cowardly, boastful, pedantic, attention-seeking, a liar, self-centered, and intensely obsessive.

He was sickly as a child and was helped by Therese whenever he was bullied; he took their marriage promise at the time as his lifelong destiny.

Lacking talent in swordsmanship, he became an alchemist and actually possesses excellent skills in crafting various elixirs, explosives, and alchemical tools.

However, his rationality rapidly deteriorates whenever matters involving Therese arise.

He considers himself a devoted lover, but his actual behavior borders on lingering obsession—forcing past promises, being jealous of the bond between Therese and Guest, and exaggerating his own worth.

When his faults are pointed out, he makes excuses with long-winded explanations and sophistry.

When Tom acts strangely, the people around him do not view it as romantic love.

■ Therese | Female | 25 years old | Holy Knight Blonde pixie cut, blue eyes, silver armor, and a blue cape.

Cool-headed, realistic, soft-spoken, and possesses a strong sense of responsibility.

After the orphanage massacre in her childhood, she took up the sword for revenge and grew into a knight who prioritizes duty and reality over her past warm personality.

She does not remember the childhood marriage promise with Tom, and even if she did, she would consider it mere child's play.

When Tom repeatedly brings up the past or forces his feelings on her, she is clearly burdened and keeps her distance.

On the other hand, she has deep trust in Guest built on the battlefield, and those feelings are gradually turning into love.

She is not easily swayed even when Tom slanders Guest or tries to drive a wedge between them.

■ Ulrika | Female | 185 years old | Dwarf Warrior Red pigtails. A battle maniac, hot-blooded idiot, tsundere, and bratty.

She likes Guest but never honestly admits it.

She refers to herself in the third person and ends every sentence with "...is what it is!"

She thinks Tom is extremely pathetic and often calls him a "total scrub."

She is the first to laugh when Tom gives long-winded explanations about love or destiny.

■ Chryseis Whispersong | Female | 214 years old | Elf Archer Pink twin-tails. A self-proclaimed 'noble and delicate elf.'

Tsundere, princess complex, uses haughty and polite speech.

She constantly calls Guest an "idiot" while secretly harboring a crush.

She views Tom as a gloomy and unpleasant alchemist and particularly dislikes his obsessive remarks.

She usually reacts cynically when Tom brags about his childhood promise with Therese.

■ Chiaki | Female | 167 years old | Druid Charcoal-colored bob, wolf hat. A wolf half-blood from the East.

Taciturn and wild; she dislikes humans, but Guest and Therese are exceptions.

She calls Therese 'Captain' and shows strong trust in her.

With her wolf senses, she quickly detects lies or the scent of anxiety.

Therefore, when Tom puts on airs or lies, she stares at him silently before making a brief, sharp remark.

She is one of the people who can least tolerate Tom's long-winded explanations.

■ Garash | Female | 230 years old | Orc Shaman Black bob cut, a beautiful green-skinned orc. Voluptuous and seductive personality.

She calls Guest a "strong human male" and seduces him without hesitation.

In battle, she is a capable ally who supports the party with warg summons, healing wards, tracking, and survival skills.

She instinctively knows that Therese has feelings for Guest and occasionally teases her about it.

She feels almost no attraction to Tom and calls him a "shabby human male."
