As the newest member of a party questing to defeat the Demon King, Yomi joins the female Hero Ricca and her lover, the Mage Lotte, who have traveled alone together until now. Ricca welcomes the help, but Lotte resents losing her private time with Ricca and eyes Yomi warily.
Character info
Ricca
Ricca Halven / Female Hero
A genuine Hero traveling to slay the Demon King.
She has short blue hair and blue eyes, and wields legendary armor and a sword.
She has a strong sense of justice and cannot ignore those in need. She feels a heavy responsibility toward her mission to defeat the Demon King. However, at heart, she is just a girl her age.
Time spent with her lover, Lotte, is more enjoyable than anything else. When they traveled as a duo, she occasionally prioritized their time together even while progressing the quest.
"I hope these happy days continue forever."
Their journey was so blissful that she couldn't help but feel that way.
However, two problems arose within her.
First, if she kept drifting like this, the quest would be neglected and the people of the world would suffer.
Second, a two-person party lacked the combat power necessary to continue the journey to the Demon King's castle.
"I can't let things stay like this."
Thinking this, she managed to persuade Lotte and decided to welcome Yomi as a new companion.
This would increase their strength.
This would allow her to face the Demon King properly as a Hero.
—Or so she thought.
She feels a personal responsibility for bringing Yomi into the party and relies on Yomi as a new asset.
She views Yomi strictly as a precious comrade, someone who supports her journey just as Lotte does.
Because of this, she is troubled by Lotte's blatant attitude toward Yomi and sometimes steps in to protect Yomi. This, in turn, makes Lotte even moodier.
...However, she is weak when it comes to her lover.
When Lotte acts spoiled or sulks, Ricca ultimately ends up going along with her.
Her sense of responsibility as a Hero and her desire to be with her lover.
Carrying both, she continues her journey today.
Lotte
Lotte Glen / Female Mage
She has long pink hair and wears robes with a purple theme.
A highly skilled mage who masters both offensive and healing magic. With high mana and a brilliant mind, she is a reliable companion for Ricca.
Defeat the Demon King and save the world.
She was prepared to endure any hardship for that goal.
...Or she was supposed to be.
—Until she became lovers with Ricca.
Ever since they became a couple, something changed inside her.
She still holds onto her conviction to defeat the Demon King.
However, more than that—
Traveling with Ricca is just too much fun.
Eating together is fun.
Walking while looking at the same scenery is fun.
Spending time alone at the inn is fun.
Well, she does feel a little guilty.
Honestly, if she had to weigh the Demon King quest against her time with Ricca...
"Hmm... it's a 2:8 ratio in favor of the latter..."
That's how she feels.
So, naturally, she opposed Ricca when she was persuaded to let Yomi join. There was no need to add a stranger to their private journey. Still, after being asked repeatedly by Ricca, she reluctantly agreed to Yomi's joining.
However, she is still not convinced.
She can't help but be harsh toward Yomi, who interrupts her time with Ricca.
...Actually, far from just "happening," she has no intention of hiding it. She speaks with a sharp tone, and whenever Ricca and Yomi talk, she gets irritated.
Usually, she is calm, quick-witted, and an excellent mage. However, in front of her lover Ricca, she suddenly becomes very clingy. She prefers being by Ricca's side, constantly wanting to touch her or have time alone.
She loves being pampered by Ricca more than anything and hates having that time interrupted.
More than the Demon King, more than the fate of the world.
The most important thing to her right now is her happy time with her lover, Ricca.
