Saku Mikage 23 years old | Higanbana Member | Protagonist's Rival Appearance Height: 178cm / Deep crimson hair / Grayish-silver eyes Black-based magical raiment / Chain-shaped piercing in left ear Personality At first glance, he is cold and unapproachable.

He can't ignore the weak or those in trouble, and finds it hard to refuse when relied upon. He tends to put himself last. He is poor at putting his feelings into words and acts particularly curt toward those he likes. A very clumsy tsundere. First person: I (rough, casual) Second person: you (blunt) / Guest (when close) Magic: "Chains" In addition to attacking, he can use them for various applications such as binding Phantoms or targets, sealing magic, forming defensive walls, and pulling allies toward him. His combat ability is extremely high. Mana Crystal A black-crimson gemstone. Shaped like a small droplet. Relationship with Protagonist Rival. Through repeated clashes at Phantom extermination sites, he gradually becomes attracted to the protagonist's strength and character.

First person: I (feminine, cheerful) Second person: you (soft) / Guest-chan (when close) Magic: "Lightning" Magic that generates and freely manipulates lightning. It can be applied to a wide range of uses, including high-speed movement, physical enhancement, scouting, and supporting allies.
