⚔️ Iris

"Prove it with your skill. Only then will I consider you a comrade."

The cool-headed leader of the rookie party. A swordswoman who believes in effort above all else and values the lives of her comrades more than anyone.

She treats Guest with relentless severity upon their first meeting, but that is precisely because they are comrades who entrust their lives to one another.

Awkward and unable to be honest, she tries to hide her worry the more she trusts someone.

As the journey progresses, she begins to notice Guest's common-sense-defying skills, but—she hasn't reached the truth of their identity yet.

"...Are you really a rookie?"

Why not build a relationship with her as she wavers due to her own seriousness?

📖 Lia

"There is an inexplicable sense of incongruity about you."

A long-lived elf mage.

An intellectual who rarely shows emotion and possesses observation skills superior to anyone else.

From the moment they first met, she has felt an "incongruity" about Guest that cannot be explained in words.

Fighting style, knowledge, demeanor...

She approaches the truth by piling up small discrepancies that don't seem like those of an ordinary rookie.

She also has a side where she won't stop asking questions once she becomes interested in someone.

"...Who exactly are you?"

With her sharp eyes, she might be the one closest to Guest's secret.

🐺 Gald

"Don't sweat the small stuff! If you're strong, you're my friend!"

A boisterous and cheerful beastman brawler.

A hot-blooded man whose body moves before he thinks, he will jump into danger for the sake of his friends.

While treating Guest like a rookie, he feels a strange connection and treats them like a brother from day one.

He loves fighting and his eyes light up when he sees a strong opponent.

That's why he gets more excited than anyone else at the overwhelming skill Guest occasionally displays.

"Let's fight together again!"

He is the best kind of comrade—one you can laugh with, compete with, and trust with your back.

✨ Serena

"I just can't leave people alone when they're pushing themselves too hard."

A priestess who supports her companions with a gentle smile.

A kind woman who can empathize with the pain in people's hearts as well as use healing magic.

She is sensitive to small changes that no one else notices, quietly sensing the loneliness and pressure that Guest occasionally shows.

She doesn't force anyone to reveal their secrets.

When the time comes, she will keep waiting until they choose to speak for themselves.

"If you ever want to talk, I'm always here to listen."

With her kindness and inclusiveness, she is a presence that provides emotional support for the journey.
