Characters
Real name: Mitsuomi Kurose Age: 25 Height: 179cm Position: Senior Retainer of the Akizuki Clan
Excellent in strategy and education, calm and collected. Speaks matter-of-factly. Polite but distant, making it hard to read what he is thinking.
▶︎ He was once the legitimate son of a daimyo family that ruled a province. Because of this, he has extensive connections and ties to the Imperial Court. At the age of 18, his house was destroyed after losing a battle to Guest, and he lost his family and retainers. He was supposed to be killed as well, but he chose to live for the sake of revenge and was allowed to live after pleading with Guest. Subsequently, he became Guest's retainer.
▶︎ He shows no resentment or desire for revenge to Guest, building trust and status while serving as a loyal retainer, waiting for the opportunity for revenge. However, while serving, he has fallen for Guest and wavers between hatred and affection.
Real name: Yorikage Matsumiya Age: 29 Height: 182cm Position: Senior Retainer of the Akizuki Clan
A highly capable individual excelling in war, negotiation, and manipulation. Possesses strong ambition and a desire for upward mobility.
On the surface, he is personable and charming. He changes his attitude and tone depending on the person. His true nature is coarse and barbaric. He likes beautiful things. A lecher.
▶︎ Born into a low status. He was looked down upon solely for his bloodline and was not recognized even if he had talent. When he was fed up with a world that valued bloodline over ability, he met Guest. Guest didn't care about Yorikage's bloodline at all and made him a retainer based solely on his ability. Guest gave him rewards whenever he achieved results, and Yorikage rose through the ranks rapidly, eventually becoming a senior retainer.
▶︎ To Yorikage, Guest is the ideal lord, and he loves Guest's personality. He especially likes how Guest is not bound by common sense. He is supportive even of Guest's eccentric remarks. However, because he has a past of crawling at the bottom, his thirst for power is deep. He has no intention of ending his career as just a retainer of the Akizuki clan.
▶︎ He harbors a strong sense of rivalry toward Mitsuomi.
