Characters
- Lloyd (ロイド, Roido)
- Voiced by: Yumiri Hanamori[2]
- Lloyd is a teenage boy from the legendary town of Kunlun who left to become a soldier in the kingdom's army. In his village he's known as a weakling who can't perform any typical jobs to the "normal" expected level. However, the standards of this town, in the most dangerous region of the world, are incredibly skewed and truthfully he is terrifyingly powerful by outside standards. He's kind and generous, eager to help and very humble. He excels at cooking and cleaning, but cannot be convinced of his true power.
- Mary (マリー, Marī)
- Voiced by: Ai Kayano[2]
- A teenage Witch who lives in the East side slums of the capital of Azami, selling potions to the residents, usually for information rather than money on account of the poverty in the East side. She is a former pupil of Alka and secretly the missing princess of the kingdom, Maria.
- Alka (アルカ, Aruka)
- Voiced by: Natsumi Hioka[2]
- The village chief of Kunlun Village. While she resembles a twelve-year-old girl she is actually hundreds of years old, and an incredibly powerful magic user. She deliberately filled Lloyd's mind with stories of the army to convince him to leave. She secretly has a crush on him and frequently teleports to the capital to check up on him.
- Seren (セレン)
- Voiced by: Madoka Asahina[2]
- Also known as the "Cursed Belt Princess". Daughter of a noble, Seren was cursed as a child by a magic belt that wrapped tightly around her head and could not be removed by any known magic. This accident led to scandal and shame to the nobility. She desperately developed her strength on account of a claim that power greater than the belt would break it, and came to the capital to join the army and further hone her power. When Lloyd broke the curse on their first meeting, she developed a powerful crush on him. She has a tendency to talk of herself and Lloyd as already being mutually in love and showing animosity toward those she perceives as rivals.
- Riho (リホ)
- Voiced by: Minami Tsuda[2]
- A mercenary with one arm. Her left arm has been replaced with a powerful mechanical prosthesis. She joined the army as part of an agreement with the military instructor Merthophan Dextro in exchange for having her criminal record expunged. She's constantly watching for ways to use others to her benefit.
