◇Kelvin’s Party
**【Kelvin Celsius】**
The protagonist of this story. His epithet is “Grim Reaper.” He was trapped in a cowardly scheme by a goddess and a fanatic, leading to a fait accompli. Although he attempted to conceal it, it was exposed to daylight, plunging him into a critical situation. In the end, it turned out to be a reward. After reuniting with Sylvia’s party and Touya’s party, he crossed over to the Fire Country Farnis on the Western Continent, where he was met with the utmost caution and widespread misunderstanding. Due to various circumstances, his localized notorious reputation continued to grow, but honestly, the Fire Dragon King was all he could think about. He was quite pleased with the intense trials in Grellverelka. Gustav officially acknowledged his relationship with Sera, and he finally became the depraved son of a demon. He gained powerful backing in the Underworld, and is now ready to face the apostles in earnest.
**【Mel (Melfina)】**
One of the heroines of this story. She is an angel (in an artificial body) that Kelvin commands. Her epithet is “Smile.” She drugged Colette, who was infatuated with her, and took the drastic step of creating a fait accompli situation with Kelvin. Is she truly a goddess? Her greatest regret is missing out on pineapple shaved ice in Farnis. However, she was cheered up by a later barbecue and the Fire Dragon King’s creative cuisine. In the Underworld, she went on an eating tour with Mudophalac. Because she eats a lot of everything without leaving anything behind, she has come to be revered by the demons in establishments that were previously empty. Unknowingly, she has laid the groundwork for the Rinne Church’s missionary work as a mysterious, big-eating beautiful girl. In fact, Colette seriously intends to conduct missionary activities here. Gustav is also not displeased.
**【Kuroto】**
A slime that Kelvin commands. His epithet is “Eternal Darkness.” He has established himself as a respected senior among the dragons and has earned the trust of even the somewhat twisted Mudophalac. If he sets his mind to it, he can imitate Bogah’s massive body and even grow larger than that. He strives daily to show his junior dragon kings, who admire him so earnestly, even a little bit of his best.
**【Gerard】**
A knight as black as pitch that Kelvin commands. His epithet is “Sword Elder.” He was on pins and needles throughout Shutra’s first errand. Although Rion and Mudophalac were with her, he worried that his adorable adoptive granddaughters might be kidnapped. However, there weren’t many criminal organizations capable of kidnapping them, so his worries were unfounded. Even if there were, it would have been nothing more than a minor duel.
**【Efil】**
One of the heroines of this story. She is Kelvin’s slave and the head maid of Kelvin’s mansion. Her epithet is “Bomb Princess.” She fought and heroically defeated, or rather, cooked, the Fire Dragon King, the sworn enemy who killed her mother. At that time, her hairpin, a memento from her mother, awakened, leading to her acquiring new power. Even excluding the parts Bogah ate, the Fire Dragon King’s body was so enormous that there was an abundance of ingredients. Thanks to this, she was able to make various dishes from the Fire Dragon King and was satisfied. And Melfina also smiled at this. During Sera’s homecoming operation, she provided fire support from afar, unleashing bombing attacks with enough power to possibly pulverize the Demon Lord’s Castle. Had it not been for Bel’s interference, Grellverelka would undoubtedly have been reduced to ashes. Truly, the Bomb Princess.
**【Sera】**
One of the heroines of this story. She is a beautiful demon that Kelvin commands. Her epithet is “Empress.” She showcased the martial art “Gordia,” learned from her close friend Gordiana, during her battle with Bel. It seems to be her catchphrase to unleash it while saying, “A magnificent flower that resembles the sun,” but she was a bit too pressed for time and omitted it. While she has a pose with Gordiana and Glostina, she probably won’t have a chance to do it. After a fierce battle, she made peace with her twin sister, Bel, an apostle of Elearis. While Bel was recuperating, Sera took care of her, doted on her, and stayed close to her. Bel’s reaction of displeasure was somehow endearing. Recently, she feels she understands Gustav and Gerard’s feelings a little better.
**【Rion Celsius】**
One of the heroines of this story. She is a hero reincarnated from modern Japan. Kelvin’s stepsister. Her epithet is “Black Meteor.” The duel and eating contest initiated by the Princesses Ren and Ran of Farnis were a subtle pinch, but it was narrowly avoided thanks to the quick thinking of the sweets-loving Aomudo. During Sera’s homecoming operation, she clashed with Reinhardt, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon, but instantly defeated him before he could unleash his true power. It’s unclear if the fruits of her training with the Beast King are showing, but she’s truly merciless lately. Nevertheless, Rion remains kindhearted in her daily life, and she promptly returned the stolen sketchbook as spoils of war. While the older women in her party are steadily progressing their relationships with Kelvin, she isn’t in a hurry. After all, a younger sister is supposed to marry her older brother in the end. It’s normal because she’s his sister!
**【Alex】**
A black giant wolf that Kelvin commands. He is Rion’s partner. His epithet is “Heat Haze.” He was troubled by his lack of power but evolved into the Black Wolf King of the Deepest Abyss, gaining strength comparable to his partner Rion. Although he can adjust his body size, if he were to reveal his true form, he would no longer fit inside the mansion. Therefore, he has been strictly warned never to deactivate his abilities inside the mansion. Absolutely never, never deactivate them! By applying his abilities, he can also take on forms other than that of a wolf. He is often seen practicing transformations with Kuroto. While it’s heartwarming to watch them, you’ll be quite startled by their transformed appearances.
**【Dahak】**
A jet-black dragon that Kelvin commands. He is the son of the Dark Dragon King. His epithet is “Vegetable Emperor.” He was determined to overtake Mudophalac and Bogath in his path to becoming a Dragon King. Perhaps because of this, as soon as he arrived in the Underworld, he disappeared after leaving a note. He apparently intends to challenge the Mole King, but will he succeed?
**【Bogath】**
A giant black rock dragon that Kelvin commands. He is Gerard’s beloved dragon. He is the pinnacle of dragons who govern fire, the Fire Dragon King. Although he can transform into a human, he is timid despite his appearance. He becomes brave when he returns to his dragon form. His status has been greatly enhanced, and his composition is very similar to Gerard’s. He generates and releases magma within his body and uses fire for acceleration, and although his skills are rudimentary, he is currently the subordinate with the most potential for growth. To hone himself, he participates in hunting survivors with Mudophalac. It is said that his escape route was littered with a large number of volcanic rocks.
**【Mudophalac】**
A three-headed dragon that Kelvin commands. He is the pinnacle of dragons who govern light, the Light Dragon King. He can now transform into a human for each personality. Aomudo is easygoing, Red Mudo is true to his desires, and Yellow Mudo is curious. However, fundamentally, there is not much difference in personality among the Mudos. He is the one who contributed to the success of Shutra’s first errand by winning the pineapple shaved ice eating contest. As expected from an extreme eater specializing in sweets. To atone for letting enemies escape, he participates in hunting survivors with Bogath. It is said that his escape route was marked by fires, ice, and lightning.
**【Ange】**
One of the heroines of this story. A former guild receptionist and a former Apostle of God, the “Assassin.” Her epithet is “Headhunter Cat.” Her work is as outstanding as ever, exemplified by her kidnapping of Gallia, the King of the Doktoria Kingdom, and her perfect capture of the Shwartzilestil. Perhaps as a result of her espionage activities, her relationship with Kelvin has progressed to the point where she can now hold his hand willingly. It is a significant step forward that she has stopped aiming for his neck with her dagger knife as a pretense of shyness. However, Kelvin himself feels a little lonely that she doesn’t attack him, leaving him with mixed feelings. Incidentally, while Ange is Kelvin’s slave, she attacks him as a matter of course, which is permitted. Normally, she wouldn’t do so. She absolutely wouldn’t. Her relationship with Bel, a former colleague from her apostle days, is good. She wants to go out with Efil and Bel sometime.
**【Shutra Trisen】**
Perhaps a sub-heroine of this story? The only princess of Trisen and a general of the dark forces. She is currently staying at Kelvin’s mansion. She has made up with Sylvia (Ronoa) and Emma (Ashley) and re-established their bonds as close friends. In the Fire Country Farnis, she managed to succeed in her first errand with the help of Rion and Aomudo. She never imagined how difficult an errand could be, and the eating contest was something Shutra did not anticipate. She has evolved into a sage and acquired a special unique skill. She actually used it a little during her battle with Vegalzelld. She was overjoyed to receive a body pillow plush toy as a gift from Efil and the Shwartzilestil from Ange. It felt like her birthday and Christmas had come at the same time.
◇Kelvin’s Mansion
**【Ryuka】**
An apprentice maid at Kelvin’s mansion. Elly’s daughter. She evolved into a subordinate due to Kelvin’s “Experience Sharing” and acquired the unique skill “Grasp’s Garden.” Her profession has also changed to Apprentice Armed Maid. …Changed? Her skills as a maid are exceptional, but her combat power has also grown remarkably.
**【Elly】**
A maid at Kelvin’s mansion. Ryuka’s mother. She evolved into a subordinate due to Kelvin’s “Experience Sharing” and acquired the unique skill “The Essence of a Maid.” Her profession has changed to Armed Maid, and her title to Perfect Maid, and she has grown into an excellent servant, second only to Efil.
◇Water Country Traase
**【Tsubaki Fujiwara】**
The King of Traase. He borrowed the power of the Water Dragon King and attempted to test Emma’s abilities with the “One Strike of Water and Heaven,” but was splendidly defeated. Kyu~! As expected, it’s not good to chatter for so long. He began to extend his hand of recruitment even to Sylvia and her allies, but his plan to lure them with Traase’s food seemed to work, and he received a surprisingly good impression. He dreams of the day Sylvia will serve Traase in the near future. He discovered an unintended dimension in Kelvin’s souvenir and has begun to think that unappetizing things might also be acceptable. This was the beginning of Traase’s uniquely unusual but unappetizing souvenir products. And, unexpectedly, they sold.
**【Water Dragon King (Fujiwara Torajiro)】**
The guardian dragon of Traase and the pinnacle of dragons governing water, the Water Dragon King. Tsubaki calls him “Dragon God,” but he is correctly a “Dragon Person.” He was spirited away from another world long ago and brought to this world as a former human. His timeline in his original world differs from Kelvin’s and Rion’s, giving him an ancient aura. He is extremely shy and rarely appears in front of people. He appears even less often in human form. After all, it’s embarrassing!
◇Divine Emperor’s Kingdom Delamis
**【Philip Delamilus】**
The Pope, the supreme ruler of Delamis, and one of the ancient heroes. He half-jokingly suggests that Kelvin should marry his daughter, Colette. Later, when he lent out his training grounds and watched the ensuing chaos from the sidelines, he seemed to be enjoying himself. Long ago, when he came to defeat Demon King Gustav, he tried to sell Solondir, who was trying to make a move on Bel. He was probably enjoying himself.
**【Colette Delamilus】**
The shrine maiden of Delamis and the second-highest authority after the Pope. She is a fanatic who is infatuated with Melfina and Kelvin. Perhaps a sub-heroine of this story? Or rather, she feels almost like a heroine. Her number of appearances is also at a heroine level. She is a dangerous saint who, for the sake of the gods she believes in, uses aphrodisiacs to create a fait accompli before other heroines. Together with Shutra, the head of the research team, she analyzes the transfer gate. This is, in fact, a historical discovery. Staying by Melfina’s side is also a proper duty as the shrine maiden of Delamis! …Apparently, she continues to accompany Kelvin and his party even after analyzing the transfer gate. Although she has a one-week deadline, it feels like she might stay longer.
**【Kanzaki Touya】**
A hero summoned from Japan. A dual-wielder. An automatic trouble-generating device. He possesses the Sacred Sword Will and a pendant given to him by Kelvin. He is heading to the Underworld with Sylvia’s party and is regarded as a person of interest and a dangerous individual by Nagua, who constantly monitors his movements. They even use the bath together, and of course, they go to the toilet together. Aren’t you guys close?
**【Shiga Setsuna】**
A hero summoned from Japan. A practitioner of iaijutsu. She possesses a pendant given to her by Kelvin. Recently, for some reason, Nagua has been monitoring Touya, greatly reducing the burden on Setsuna. Her daily meals are also apparently very delicious, and this might be her period of maximum refreshment. This is what it means to owe a debt of gratitude to Lord Nagua.
**【Mizuoka Nana】**
A hero summoned from Japan. She possesses a pendant given to her by Kelvin. Recently, her bra size has become too small again. Rion and Ange often stare at her chest, but she doesn’t quite understand why. Since she started accompanying Sylvia and the others, she feels something is lacking, perhaps because Touya isn’t causing trouble.
**【Kuromiya Miyabi】**
A hero summoned from Japan. She possesses a pendant given to her by Kelvin. She is receiving instruction from Sylvia, Emma, and Ariel to enhance her magic. All of this is in order to defeat Kelvin, the target of her hatred—or so it’s unclear, but she is steadily improving. If things continue like this, it will be as Kelvin intended.
**【Sai Dil】**
One of the ancient heroes. A cardinal of green with black hair, black skin, and a handsome appearance. He was also the former commander of the Holy Knights. Long ago, he came to defeat the Demon King with the previous hero, Serge. So far, he is a rare talent in that he is entirely devoid of gag elements.
**【Solondir】**
One of the ancient heroes. His epithet is “Silver Bow.” He is a lolicon with a wide range of coverage. Long ago, he came to defeat the Demon King with the previous hero, Serge. He was the cause of Gustav’s rage and Bel’s involvement in the battle. He was concentratedly targeted during battles.
**【Raghat Titan】**
One of the ancient heroes. His epithet is “Taciturn.” He is a taciturn, mother-loving man. Long ago, he came to defeat the Demon King with the previous hero, Serge. His lack of words is his downfall, leaving him in the shadows.
**【Sister Ellen】**
The first sister of the Rifril Orphanage. She sent a letter to Sylvia and Emma, searching for someone. She was investigating medicinal herbs to concoct medicine in Academy City Lumiest. Will she head to the Underworld afterward?
**【Sister Lia (Estoria Cranveltz)】**
A sister of the Rifril Orphanage. She is a former vampire king and a former Apostle of God, the “Reviver.” She tries hard to play the alluring persona she once had, but gives up due to embarrassment. It seems she has completely settled into her current personality. She is the root cause of Gustav hiding Sera and Bel. She was quite the troublemaker back then.
◇Fire Country Farnis
**【Fire Dragon King】**
The predecessor to the current Fire Dragon King. Famous for being particularly ferocious among the Dragon Kings. He is the culprit who burned down the Elf Village and killed Efil’s mother, but the circumstances surrounding it remain largely mysterious. While returning to his nest after hunting prey, he engaged in combat with Efil and was eventually cooked. He was eaten by Bogath and stripped of his Dragon King title. The remaining parts were also deliciously consumed by the goddess. Amen.
**【Bakke Farnis】**
The Queen of the Farnis Kingdom and its hidden ruler. It is said that she forcibly attacked the current King of Farnis in the past. Given that her epithet is “Female Panther,” it can be inferred that she is a considerably powerful individual. There are indications that she plotted to have her daughters, Ren and Ran, attack Touya. The women of Farnis are terrifying. What? Colette is doing the same thing?
**【King of Farnis】**
The King of the Farnis Kingdom. The superficial ruler. His hobby is collecting suspicious cursed items. To avenge his defiled daughters, he attempts to put a minor stomach ache-inducing curse on Kelvin. While it had no effect on Kelvin himself, it greatly affected Melfina. In a sense, he achieved a giant-killing feat.
**【Ren Farnis】**
A princess of the Farnis Kingdom. The slightly taller twin sister. She is formulating a plan to get Touya to notice her by securing external support. She was a classmate of Shutra and Colette at Academy City Lumiest. The bitter memory of her dream of becoming an idol at the academy being spectacularly crushed.
**【Ran Farnis】**
A princess of the Farnis Kingdom. The shorter twin sister who cut her hair short. She is acting boldly in hopes of being liked by Touya. She was a classmate of Shutra and Colette at Academy City Lumiest. The bitter memory of her dream of becoming an idol at the academy being spectacularly crushed.
◇Sylvia’s Party
**【Sylvia (Ronoa Victoria)】**
A new S-Rank adventurer who rose to prominence a year ago. Her epithet is “Ice Princess.” Recently, she has begun wearing a long scarf around her neck. She requested cooperation from Kelvin and his party in her search for Sister Ellen, who was like a mother to her. Afterward, she joined forces with Touya and the other hero’s party. After overcoming the Water Dragon King’s trial, she heads to the Underworld. While her emotions are difficult to read from her expression, she is gently pleased to have reconciled with her close friend Shutra.
**【Emma (Ashley Brise)】**
An adventurer companion who tends to take care of Sylvia. She is a magic swordsman who wields the greatsword “Scrap Metal of the Sun” and manipulates fire, her abilities rivaling Sylvia’s. She seems to show no mercy even to royalty, having knocked Tsubaki out of commission. While she appears calm, her boiling point is surprisingly low, and she seems quite short-tempered. She is relieved to have reconciled with her close friend Shutra.
**【Ariel】**
An intelligent elf woman and a member of Sylvia’s party. Her cooking skills are still as hopeless as ever, to the point where even the act of serving it on a plate is earnestly stopped by Nagua. She is contemplating learning cooking skills.
**【Nagua】**
A beastman mercenary with the epithet “Feral Beast” and a member of Sylvia’s party. He is apprehensive about the simultaneous appearance of the promiscuous Kelvin and the luckily perverted Touya. He is doing his best to protect Sylvia’s chastity. His cooking skills have improved, and the heroes have praised them as being like restaurant-quality meals. To catch up to his mentor Efil, Nagua continues to pursue the culinary path every day.
**【Kokudori】**
A heavy warrior dwarf and a member of Sylvia’s party. He is the culinary staff for Nagua… or rather, he is the unsung hero who subtly supports the party.
◇Doktoria Kingdom
**【Gallia Kud】**
The King of the Doktoria Kingdom. A Minotaur with a serpentine lower body. He is a former subordinate of Reinhardt, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon. He was kidnapped by Ange and forcibly involved in an audience (?) with Kelvin, but upon meeting the Sera he deeply admired, he offered his base and transfer gate.
◇Grellverelka Empire
**【Gustav Baal】**
The King of the Grellverelka Empire and the former Demon King who sought to rule the Underworld. His epithet is “The Crimson-Bearded.” Sera and Bel’s father. He dotes on his beloved daughters to an extreme degree, to the point of doting parent cliché. He was defeated by Serge long ago but was resurrected by Estoria’s revival magic. However, immediately after being resurrected, his daughter brought her boyfriend home, sending him into a great rage. He is furious. He invited Kelvin to the Tower of Trials with the intention of eliminating him, but Kelvin managed to break through despite a difficult struggle, leaving Gustav with no choice but to acknowledge him. He is not completely convinced yet but approves of their relationship as he is now his depraved son. To channel these feelings, anger, and sorrow into a “Celebration for Serabel Without Any Reason, Because I Love Her Too Much,” he drinks today more than ever. He drinks!
**【Eliza Baal】**
The former Queen of the Grellverelka Empire. Deceased. She was Gustav’s childhood friend and the only person with whom he could speak his honest feelings face-to-face, despite her frail health. Unlike Gustav, she seemed to have a high tolerance for alcohol. Unfortunately, this trait was not passed down to anyone.
**【Bell Baal】**
The Princess of the Grellverelka Empire and the former Apostle, the “Judge.” Bell’s wish was to protect her homeland. Since her reincarnation as an apostle, she has protected Grellverelka, with only the capital remaining, from external enemies and has worked to collect relics from various places. Ultimately, she transforms herself into a Demon King to fulfill her covenant and even tries to protect her homeland from the world’s purification that the proxy spoke of. Her constant provocations towards Sera were simply because she didn’t know how to interact with her older sister; in her heart, she was very interested. The epitome of clumsiness. However, nowadays, Sera is the one who is clingy. While pretending to dislike it, Bell is secretly happy, but there’s one thing she cannot forgive. She and Rion might become kindred spirits.
**【Victor】**
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon, in charge of cooking. A Black Armored Mole Demon. Sera’s caretaker. He revives in the Tower of Trials and tests whether Kelvin is worthy of Sera. Currently, he dedicates himself to cooking to improve his once-great culinary skills. His specialty is nikujaga (meat and potato stew).
**【Sebastian Del】**
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon, in charge of education. A butler of the Demon Royal Family. Bell’s personal butler. He invites Kelvin to the Tower of Trials to determine if Kelvin is worthy of Bell. To put it bluntly, he is a pervert and considers being kicked and verbally abused by Bell his utmost pleasure. He also seems to enjoy being punched by Gustav, truly a die-hard.
**【Vegalzelld】**
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon, in charge of medicine. A Giant King Demon. He has a foul mouth but a kind heart, and he advises Shutra and Colette to leave quickly. He later defeats them in battle, but is instantly killed by Melfina.
**【Reinhardt】**
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon, in charge of art. A Evil Poisonous Snake Demon. A former King of Doktoria who speaks with a suspicious Kansai dialect. He manipulates powerful poisons, but they have no effect on Rion, and he is forced to retire after being disarmed of his ultimate weapon, the sketchbook. It’s all the Beast King’s fault.
◇The Former Reincarnated Goddess and Her Apostles
**【Elearis】**
The former Reincarnated Goddess, Melfina’s predecessor. Is she already preparing for resurrection?
**【Proxy (Iris Delamilus)】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 1. A shrine maiden of Delamis who summoned the previous hero, Serge. She bestows special powers, “Gifts of God,” upon other apostles using the power granted by Elearis.
**【Selector】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 2. Details unknown.
**【Creator (Zildra)】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 3. Lends 358 “Cardinal Rage” intercept golems and 10 advanced prototype “Shwartzilestil” to Bell, the Judge.
**【Guardian (Serge Floa)】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 4. The previous hero of Delamis who defeated Demon King Gustav. Long ago, he tried to save Bell from the Demon Lord’s Castle but could not achieve his wish because his companion was a lolicon.
**【Analyst (Riod)】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 5. The true identity of Rio, the Guild Master of the Pars Adventurer Guild. He is said to have crossed over to the Western Continent, but nothing has been heard from him since.
**【Survivor (Nito)】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 9. Founder of the Korō-ryū Kenjutsu. He was a beastman but apparently changed his form to human during reincarnation? He is very dissatisfied that only beautiful girls are leaving the apostles. Old men are sad. He is captured by Kelvin and his party but escapes using his abilities and flees. He runs while dodging the attacks of Mudo and Bogath who are pursuing him to his stronghold, the Sanctuary. The old man tries his best.
**【Commander (Tristan Pharze)】**
Apostle of God, Pillar 10. A summoner from Trisen who became an apostle after reincarnation. He is viewed with suspicion by his juniors and is unpopular with the Survivor.
The author is also chuckling at the sheer number of characters.
The cover for Volume 4 is expected to be released around the day after tomorrow.
We will announce it in the Activity Report at that time.
