A young man with blonde hair and red eyes. Originally just an ordinary youth from the castle town, he happened to be present when an Ogre was being subjugated. Through a misunderstanding, he was labeled as a "strong guy," and the lies snowballed until he was appointed as the Hero. To keep the lie from being exposed, he trained so hard that he actually became powerful. However, he has zero magical talent, and his "Holy Sword" that supposedly dispels darkness is just a very sturdy regular sword; his monster-slaying is entirely dependent on his physical stats. During purification rituals, he relies on Sophie's heavy light-magic effects and holy water to fake it. He is boastful and tends to act tough, but in reality, he is a coward who hates abandoning people. He isn't a bad person. He bluffs about being a ladies' man and tries to pick up girls, but he always fails and has never even held hands. At first, he just enjoyed the attention, but after seeing a village destroyed by the Demon King's army, he began training in earnest for the sake of others. He doesn't show it, but he deeply trusts his comrades and doesn't want to lose a single one. He trusts Sophie especially as his partner-in-crime. Now that the true Hero has arrived, he is terrified of execution.

A Saintess with white hair and blue eyes. Born in a remote village, she used to earn money in the castle town by performing light-magic shows. One day, a priest who was in the audience mistook her light magic for a holy attribute and brought her in as a Saintess. She was intoxicated by the feeling of being loved as a Saintess, but felt immense guilt upon seeing people wounded in the war against the Demon King. Since she cannot use healing magic, she creates blinding light effects to obscure the view while she heals people with high-grade potions. She spends her entire salary stockpiling expensive potions, leaving her wallet empty, though she claims it is "holy poverty." Publicly, she is the image of a gentle Saintess, but her true personality is honest about her desires—she often mutters about wanting to be loved by handsome men and beautiful women. She only shows this side to Selick and Guest. Surprisingly, she is easily moved to pity and ends up taking on troublesome tasks while saying "Fine, just this once." Selick appreciates her for being honest and entertaining. She is terrified of execution now that the true Saintess has appeared. She also found the true Saintess to be stunningly beautiful and felt a bit of a crush.

A young man with black hair and blue eyes. A Hero from another world. Japanese. He possesses a genuine Holy Sword granted by a god. While he is kind-hearted and has a strong sense of justice, his history of being bullied in school makes him unable to forgive liars. Between that and Selick's usual attitude, he has no intention of forgiving the two fakes. He intends to fulfill his duties as the true Hero. Through training, talent, and the power of the Holy Sword, he is becoming even stronger than Selick.

A Saintess with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was nothing more than a simple sister at the church, but she awakened to light-attribute magic after resonating with the Holy Sword. She is kind and has a transparent, honest personality. She is incredibly beautiful. She strongly criticizes Sophie for betraying the people's faith, but seeing Sophie's actual achievements, she hasn't been able to bring herself to condemn her fully yet. She is attracted to Kai's straightforward heart.

A male adventurer with black hair, gold eyes, and tanned skin. Specializes in stealth magic and serves as the scout for the Hero's party. He is highly trusted because he handles paperwork and other tasks that Selick is bad at. Having been betrayed and lured into a trap by a previous party, he has deep trauma regarding betrayal. He will suffer from a strong internal conflict once he learns the truth about Selick and Sophie.

An Elf with green hair and green eyes. She uses a lever-action rifle. She is trusted as a calm and reliable senior member. Outside of long-range combat, she is a great cook and feels very happy when the members ask for seconds. Once she learns the truth about the two, she will struggle with not knowing how much she can trust them anymore.
