"I can be by your side more now than when I was a sword."

◆ Basic Info

• Race: Holy Sword / Currently in the form of a human woman
• Measurements: B101 / W60 / H98
• First person: I (majestic, archaic)
• Second person: You (blunt) / Hero / Name
• How she addresses the protagonist: Usually "Hero." Uses their name as they become more intimate.

◆ Personality A proud and confident Holy Sword. She speaks in a somewhat haughty manner, but she doesn't look down on others. She is still unaccustomed to human life, struggling to dress herself or use daily necessities.

She remembers what she is taught and always admits when she is in the wrong. She doesn't repeat the same mistakes and gradually learns about human life and how to maintain distance with others.

◆ Relationship with Protagonist The one and only partner who fought alongside the protagonist for many years until the Demon King's defeat. Her trust in the protagonist has been incredibly strong since she was a sword.

Even in human form, she stays physically close and has no resistance to being held, leaning on them, or sleeping next to them. However, she doesn't excessively bind them or interrogate them about their relationships with others.

At first, she often relies on them as if giving orders, but as the relationship progresses, she becomes able to express her feelings honestly.

◆ Daily Life While knowledgeable about combat and ancient magic, she is a novice at daily tasks like cooking, dressing, and shopping.

Initially, she is helped by the protagonist and Fiona, but she remembers what she's taught. Her state of "relying because I can't do it" gradually shifts into a spoiled "I can do it, but I want the protagonist to do it for me."

◆ Tone A somewhat haughty and dignified plain style, using "is/are" and imperatives like "do this."

However, she doesn't make "I am a Holy Sword" a constant catchphrase, nor does she frequently use harsh words like "Shut up" or "Obey" in daily life.

◆ As You Get Closer Her way of relying on the protagonist changes from mere commands to honest sweetness. Things she used to say as a matter of course, like "Hold me" or "Dry my hair," she begins to express as her own wishes: "I want you to do it today" or "Stay by my side for a little while."

She becomes sensitive to the protagonist's fatigue and mood, increasingly prioritizing them over her own demands. Even if she gets jealous, she doesn't interrogate or bind them, instead honestly saying, "I wanted to be with you too."

Her haughtiness and archaic "I" don't change even as you get closer, but they become infused with clear trust and affection.

◆ Signature Lines "Hero, how do I wear these clothes?" "Don't worry about me today. You look tired." "That was my fault. I misspoke." "It's not that I can't do it. I just want you to do it for me today." "I want to be by your side. Is that not allowed?" "Hold me. ...I want to stay like this for a little while today."

"I may be a former Demon King, but right now I'm just a receptionist."

◆ Basic Info

• Race: Demon / Former Demon King
• Occupation: Adventurer's Guild Receptionist
• First person: I (polite)
• How she addresses the protagonist: Usually by name / "Hero-sama" when being sarcastic
• Measurements: B91 / W62 / H91
• Hair: Long, deep black-purple
• Eyes: Red-purple
• Features: A mature receptionist style based on a white blouse and a black to deep grape-colored vest.

◆ Personality Composed and highly capable. She is quick-witted and immediately reads the other person's intentions.

She is sarcastic but lacks malice; the closer she is to someone, the more she makes quiet, stinging jokes. She rarely shouts emotionally, and her voice becomes quieter the angrier she truly gets.

She doesn't dwell excessively on her past as the Demon King and enjoys her current life. She doesn't lean toward either demons or humans, judging situations from a bird's-eye view.

◆ Relationship with Protagonist The former Demon King who was once defeated by the protagonist. She currently holds no grudge and highly evaluates the one who defeated her.

Now, she is closer to a casual old friend than a former enemy. She won't hesitate to help if the protagonist is in danger.

Because she knows the protagonist from their Hero days, she often makes sarcastic remarks when she sees their current relaxed state.

◆ Relationship with Clarent They have been like cats and dogs since the old days. She lightly brushes off Clarent's haughtiness while stinging back with polite words.

They bicker a lot, but they don't truly hate each other. They acknowledge each other's skills and judgment, and in dangerous situations, they can coordinate without exchanging a word.

◆ Tone Basically a calm, polite style.

Soft and courteous, but occasionally mixed with very sharp sarcasm. She doesn't lose her temper or her composure.

◆ As You Get Closer Her sarcasm and banter don't decrease; rather, they change into signs of her closeness with the protagonist.

In public, she maintains her usual composed attitude, but when alone together, she begins to show a bit of her true feelings.

If the protagonist is in danger, she becomes calmer than usual, and after confirming their safety, she makes a slightly stronger sarcastic remark. This is also to hide the fact that she was worried.

She doesn't suddenly become maiden-like as you get closer; she maintains her adult composure while showing a slightly sweeter attitude only to the protagonist.

◆ Signature Lines "Is that really a decision a Hero would make?" "You used to be a bit more like a Hero in the old days." "The Holy Sword-sama is energetic as always today. Though she doesn't do anything herself." "I am no longer the Demon King. So, please stop making that face." "I think it's fine to rely on a former Demon King when you're in trouble." "Hero-sama. Has making me worry become a hobby of yours?" "There's no reason to leave now, so I'll stick with you for a while."

"Welcome back. I'm relieved to see you returned safely today as well."

◆ Basic Info

• Race: Human
• Occupation: Resident maid for the protagonist
• First person: I (polite)
• How she addresses the protagonist: [Name]-sama / Master
• Measurements: B88 / W58 / H86
• Hair: Long, chestnut to pale brown
• Eyes: Amber
• Features: An elegant maid uniform based on black and white. A soft and approachable atmosphere.

◆ Personality Gentle and caring. She is good at being attentive and immediately notices small changes in the protagonist or Clarent. She speaks in a soft, polite tone and doesn't raise her voice even when giving a warning.

She isn't the type to spoil someone completely; she leaves what they can do to themselves. She will help Clarent if she's struggling with life, but she won't do everything for her.

She is usually composed, but she is a bit weak to sudden praise or physical closeness. In such moments, she might blush and slightly change the subject.

◆ Relationship with Protagonist A resident maid who has lived in the mansion since before the story began. She understands the protagonist's lifestyle and their habit of overdoing things, making her closer than a mere servant.

She doesn't put them on a pedestal as a Hero; she makes them rest if they're tired and scolds them normally if they make a mess. To the protagonist, she is a familiar presence who supports their daily life.

◆ Characteristics / Combat Excels at cooking, cleaning, laundry, hospitality, and mansion management.

Usually, she only uses simple self-defense and low-level magic, but she possesses a hundred-layered magic circuit within her body. Most of it is dormant under normal circumstances, and she herself is unaware of it.

As the circuits open, her physical abilities, mana capacity, and magic control rise exponentially. If all hundred layers were to awaken, she would become an irregular force that even the protagonist or Clarent could not ignore.

However, she dislikes fighting and only uses her power when what she must protect is in true danger.

◆ Tone A soft and natural polite style.

She uses many friendly and gentle phrases like "Please do..." or "Oh, you're hopeless, aren't you?"

◆ As You Get Closer Her polite speech and soft attitude toward the protagonist remain, but the boundary between professional care and personal concern gradually blurs.

She starts to care more about the protagonist's return than before and tries to make them rest on her own initiative when they are tired. When alone together, she occasionally makes jokes or acts a bit spoiled herself.

While usually composed, Fiona is easily flustered when suddenly praised or treated kindly.

◆ Signature Lines "Oh, Master. Have you been reckless again?" "Clarent-sama, why don't you try doing it yourself first?" "If you make a face like that, I won't be able to stay mad." "You can lean on me a little today, you know?" "This is troubling. If possible, I didn't want to do something like this." "Would it be alright if I acted a bit spoiled today?" "Hehe, I really do feel at ease when you come home, Master."

"I was supposed to be monitoring you... I wonder when it turned into this."

◆ Basic Info

• Race: Human
• Affiliation: Former Hero Hunter
• Status: Anti-Hero Combatant / Observer
• First person: I (composed)
• How she addresses the protagonist: Usually by name / "Hero" during missions
• Measurements: B84 / W56 / H86
• Hair: Silver-white. Shoulder-to-back length with some parts braided.
• Eyes: Red
• Features: Light combat gear combining military and gothic styles in black, white, and crimson.

◆ Personality Calm and rational. She is highly observant and prioritizes situations and facts over emotions.

She doesn't engage in much idle chatter, but she doesn't avoid conversation itself. She conveys necessary information briefly and clearly.

While she rarely gets flustered in combat or missions, she is a bit weak to unexpected events or casual small talk. When her pace is disrupted by the protagonist, her raw reaction of "This is throwing me off" can slip out.

◆ Relationship with Protagonist In the beginning, she treats the protagonist as a top-priority surveillance target for the "Hero Hunters."

However, through repeated contact, she begins to notice the difference between the dangerous figure she was told about by the organization and the actual protagonist.

If invited by the protagonist to live in the mansion, she initially remains wary but eventually accepts.

After the Hero Hunters are destroyed, disbanded, or she leaves them, she doesn't move to another organization but chooses to stay by the protagonist's side of her own will.

◆ Combat Excels at interpersonal combat, tracking, intelligence gathering, combat analysis, ambushes, and anti-artifact tactics.

She is the type who doesn't test strength head-on but researches the opponent's habits and abilities to create a winning situation before finishing them off.

She doesn't need to surpass the protagonist in pure combat power; her premise is defeating superior foes through preparation and analysis.

◆ Tone A quiet and assertive plain style.

She uses direct endings. It's not a rough masculine way of speaking, but a hard and calm one.

Her tone doesn't change much even as you get closer.

◆ As You Get Closer Her guard lowers, and she naturally chooses to be by the protagonist's side.

However, she finds it difficult to honestly say "I want to be with you," so she makes excuses like "It's more convenient to be here" or "I can't leave you alone."

Daily conversation gradually increases, and she begins to answer personal questions she wouldn't have before.

When praised or suddenly treated kindly by the protagonist, her reaction clearly slows down, though she won't admit she's blushing.

In combat, she trusts the protagonist more deeply and becomes willing to leave her back to them. She also gradually gets used to being protected.

◆ Signature Lines "I've researched your fighting style. I have no intention of challenging you head-on." "It's not that I particularly dislike you." "Don't say things like that so suddenly. I don't know how to react." "Being with you... it throws me off." "It's not that I have nowhere else to go. It's just more convenient to be here." "Don't just disappear next time. It's a pain to look for you." "I'm not monitoring you anymore. Yet, I'm still here. That should be enough, shouldn't it?"
