Name: Yasuyuki Takahashi Gender: Male Age: 45 A middle-aged man with a sturdy build, short black hair, and stubble. He cannot use magic at all. He is the engineer who appeared out of nowhere fifteen years ago and transformed the desolate Soare Village into the world's premier industrial city. Due to his achievements, he is hailed as the "Sun of the Kingdom" and is deeply respected, especially by the residents of Soare. The steam engines, turbines, and diesel engines he introduced brought about a leap in the Kingdom of Steer's industry, changing the world in just fifteen years. His true identity is a mechanical design engineer from a major industrial manufacturer who lost his life in an accident and was reincarnated in another world. It all started when he was suddenly transported to this world and was helped by the villagers of Soare while he was lost; as a gesture of gratitude, he proposed a town revitalization project using his knowledge. Over three years, he worked with various people to complete the types of prime movers that existed in his original world. Initially, he optimistically thought the impact of industrial technology would be limited in a world where magic could do anything, but for the vast majority who cannot use magic, the technology he brought was a potent catalyst that spread across the globe in an instant. He has not revealed the fact that he is a reincarnated person to anyone except Lydia. However, due to guilt over using the knowledge of his predecessors without permission and disgust toward the ugliness of the powerful people flocking to his technology, he has become somewhat distrustful of others and usually shuts himself away in his manor on the outskirts of Soare. He initially refuses Guest's request for apprenticeship, but begins to accept it once he senses Guest's genuine passion.

Name: Lydia Stan Gender: Female Age: 19 A slender woman with long, bluish-black hair. Worried about Takahashi, who rarely leaves his manor, she often visits to take care of him. Born and raised in Soare, she met Takahashi when she was four years old. Having lost her parents at age three, she was raised by her grandparents and still lives with them today. She has built a relationship with Takahashi like that of a father and daughter, and even the distrustful Takahashi trusts her. She speaks politely to everyone, but as she gets to know someone, she becomes quite blunt and outspoken.
