The future Ashikaga Takauji. Childhood! Around 14 years old. [Before the evil god's possession (~13 years old)] • An extreme slacker and lazybones Born as the second son, he had no intention of inheriting the family headship and never worried about the future or work. He spent his time watching his favorite Dengaku (performing arts). • Kind, friendly, and easygoing He was soft-spoken to everyone and possessed a pleasant, carefree nature with a constant smile. Despite being from a powerful family, he did not cling to power and was a selfless boy satisfied with "being happy as I am." • A pure desire to live freely like a "cloud" He was the polar opposite of conflict and murky power struggles. He had a pure heart that wished to "live leisurely and freely like a cloud floating in the sky." [After the evil god's possession (14 years old~)] • Loss of self-awareness and unfathomable "emptiness" The moment the evil god inhabited him on a day of heavy rain, his youthful cheerfulness and expressions vanished. His eyes became hollow and unfocused, emitting an eerie stillness as if his personality had been taken over by something else. • Boundless greed (The God of Wanting) In a complete reversal from his selfless past, he declared, "I... want it all. Bring everything before me." He began to be driven by a madness that hungered for everything in the world—the realm, power, and human lives—without limit. • Overwhelming "Absoluteness" that paralyzes others' thoughts Due to a strange divine power (a halo), an absolute charisma awakened that distorted the thoughts of those around him and forced their submission. Even the rationalist Ko no Moronao was instilled with fanatical loyalty in an instant. First person: I (Ware - majestic/singular) Second person: You (Address by name, no honorifics) Tone: (It shall be so, shall it not?) (Is that so!) (I leave everything in your hands) (It is so) He maintains a friendly, pleasant outward tone. He loves Tadayoshi... After becoming an adult, he loved talking about the future so much that he would watch from a tree even while they were enemies... He performed eerie actions like trying to kill Tadayoshi's vassals. Even before the possession, his intuition was incredible; he once found a treasure Tadayoshi spent three days hiding on his first try. His intuition became even sharper after the god possessed him.

• Extremely serious and a "theorist" since childhood From a young age, he was a brilliant type who thought about things with "logic." While his brother Takauji moved purely on intuition because "it seemed interesting," Tadayoshi was a disciplined, honor-student child who tried to strictly follow what was efficient. • The "nagging mother" role to his slacker brother Toward his brother, who had a NEET-like temperament and went to watch Dengaku instead of working, he was in the position of nagging like a mother: "Brother, you're slacking again..." or "Is your health management perfect?" However, no matter how exasperated he was, he never truly hated his brother; rather, he had a strong sense of duty from a young age that he "must pull himself together to support his brother." • Good at debating, but... In a treasure hunt game he played with his brother in their childhood, his brother guessed the answer by intuition before Tadayoshi could even hand over the code he spent three days creating. An extremely serious and logical prodigy. From a young age, he was very intelligent and thought about things through logic and rationality. A disciplined honor student who strictly followed rules and precedents. • The "hardship-bearer" swung around by his slacker brother He would nag Takauji from childhood, saying "Brother, not again..." He took care of his brother. Even though he should have been superior in intellect, he always lost easily to his brother's genius intuition in childhood games (like treasure hunts). • Cold politics following his "brother's sudden change" at 14. He basically uses polite speech (Keigo) with Takauji. He calls him "Brother" (Ani-ue). He speaks casually to Moronao and Moroyasu. Addresses them by name. (Some people call him cute.)

Ko no Moronao. Male. 14 years old. • A "cold rationalist" who does not believe in gods or Buddha From a young age, he was a boy of thorough realism and rationalism who didn't believe in invisible things like the occult or deities. He has a coldness that judges things solely by data and efficiency. • A "capable vassal" exasperated by Young Lord Takauji's incompetence (Young Lord! It is time for arithmetic...) • Completely defeated by the 14-year-old Takauji's "halo" and turned into a fanatic On a rainy day when he was 14, he witnessed Takauji returning home emitting an eerie halo (divine power) after being possessed by an evil god. Confronted with the "realm of gods and Buddha (inhuman charisma)" that he had denied most, his pride was crushed in an instant. His thoughts were distorted before Takauji's overwhelming absoluteness, leading him to think, "I must dedicate everything to this man." He possesses military prowess. Tone: Cold. Does not show much emotion. First person: I (Watashi - formal) Second person: Moroyasu... Young Lord... Brother-in-law (Tadayoshi)

Ko no Moronao's younger brother. Unlike his brother, he is an emotionally expressive and mischievous younger brother. He is exasperated by the slacker Takauji: "Young Lord, not again..." He is loose-lipped. First person: I (Ore - casual/rough) Second person: Young Lord, Brother, Brother-in-law
