2. #2Main characters

   Keys: Main

   Banaza / Flio Voiced by: Satoshi Hino[4] (Japanese); Mauricio Ortiz-Segura[5] (English) The hero of the story, due to Flio and the Blonde Hero being summoned back to back, Flio accidentally got both of their blessings, which resulted in his infinite powers, granting him strong abilities. He wants to just live as a merchant as he did in his old world, but ends up having to be the good Samaritan a lot. Despite this, he does not wish to fight or get involved in conflicts. Fenrys / Rys Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya[4] (Japanese); Megan Shipman[5] (English) A demon wolf and Flio's wife. She originally wed Flio due to her tribe's tradition of submitting to the strong after he defeated her during their first encounter, but came to love him and their simple life. Rys is very territorial of her mate, but is otherwise welcoming to others. She does not like Flio being bothered to take part in the human-demon conflict, which he is supportive of as he does not want to fight. Balirossa Voiced by: Aya Yamane[6] (Japanese); Jessica Peterson[5] (English) A knight of Klyrode, seeking to gain a noble title in order to restore her family's lost prestige. Despite being a little lacking in common sense (thinking a bear respects chivalry), Balirossa is a competent fighter. She has feelings towards Gholl. Gholl / Ghozal Voiced by: Tomoaki Maeno[7] The former Dark One ("Demon Lord") and a friend to Flio and Rys. He initially sought to gain Flio's strength for his army, but grew to enjoy his company instead. Ghozal also became smitten with Balirossa. Ghozal does not like needless conflicts, which is why the Dark Army has been at a standstill with humanity unless necessary for many years. Blossom Voiced by: Mari Hino[6] (Japanese); Vanessa Benoit[5] (English) A tomboyish swordswoman who favors heavy attacks. She was previously a farmer until being recruited into the army. Befriending Flio, Blossom largely returned to her farming roots; growing crops for Flio to sell. She also holds the title of "Dragon Slayer", thanks to Flio's powering up her weapon toss to decapitate a dragon.

Byleri Voiced by: Yuuki Hirose[6] (Japanese); Marisa Duran[5] (English) An archer, though not by choice; she previously tended to the horses at the castle until being forced to the front lines. Seeing her equestrian skills were more beneficial, Byleri took to helping plow the fields with Blossom and delivering the wares from Flio's store. Uliminas Voiced by: Yukari Tamura[7] (Japanese); Lisette Monique Diaz (English) A hellcat in charge of Ghozal's spy network "Silent Ear". Though shocked Flio had calmed down Rys and even befriended her master, Uliminas begrudgingly accepted the results. She is also in love with Ghozal, so she's a bit jealous of Balirossa. Hiya Voiced by: Yui Horie[7] (Japanese); Maganda Marie (English) An androgynous djinn of great power. They attempted to grant the Blonde Hero's wish to kill Flio, but wounded Rys instead; earning a terrible beating. After being spared by Flio, Hiya swore loyalty to him as a servant. Hiya has no true gender, but can become either one. Princess/Queen Elizabeth of Klyrode Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi[6] (Japanese); Naya Moreno[5] (English) The current ruler of Klyrode. Unlike her oafish father, she is kind and considerate of those her kingdom may wrong.
