* BerserkButton: Do not insult or belittle Earth's idol groups, especially by comparing them to the music troupes and entertainers of the other world. To him, those girls work ''hard'' and deserve all the recognition and adoration they get.

[[folder:Tekun]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NobuyukiHiyama (Japanese), Patrick [=McAlister=] (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tekun_anime.png]]

The Craft God and the God of Wine. In his aspect as the God of Wine, he appears as a short, hairy, middle-aged man with a wine barrel under his right arm, and a wine bottle in his left. Worshipped by the dwarves in both aspects, he hears about the new Transferee from Gain, Lulutia and Kufo. Impressed by Takebayashi's tolerance for alcohol, he gives Ryouma his Blessing as well, though only in his aspect of God of Wine.

* BornLucky: Variant. One specific feature of his Blessing as God of Wine is that the best and rarest liquors will always be available when you're shopping for drinks. Usually at a discount.
* {{Expy}}: While several other Gods clearly seem to be inspired by various members of the Greek Pantheon, Tekun, who is illustrated wearing a wreath of vines and a one-shouldered tunic, seems to definitely be an Expy for Dionysus.
* ItAmusedMe: When Ryouma finally meets him face to face, Tekun says he Blessed Ryouma simply because he was interesting.
* MagicalBarefooter: He's a barefoot god.
* WalkingTheEarth: While the other Gods have homes, Tekun prefers to wander.
-->'''Tekun'''(LN vol 3): "Nah, I don't got no home. I'm a god of work and wine, and there are all sorts of places where you can partake in those. I just wander between the worlds when I feel like it."

[[folder:Fernobelia]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakuyaEguchi (Japanese)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/felnovelia.png]]

God of Magic and Academics. He appears as a thin man with shoulder length hair; comes across as kind of a grouch. Unlike the other Gods, whose homes appear as white voids, his personal territory is a large library.

* GodOfKnowledge: He's the god who rules over magic and academics.
* HolyHalo: He's a god with a giant halo floating above his head.
* SitcomArchNemesis: He argues constantly with Kiriluel, as [[BrainsVersusBrawn they are polar opposites]].
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is the God of Academics and the only of the known gods to wear glasses.

[[folder:Kiriluel]]
Goddess of War. She's also in charge of Judgement; on the rare occasions a human cause so much harm to the world that the gods have to step in, she's the one for the job.

* ActionGirl: She's stated outright to be capable of taking on Gain, Lulutia and Kufo at once single-handedly; she could even kill them if necessary, though it would be a very tough fight. It's to be expected since she's a WarGoddess.
* AmazonianBeauty: She appears as a strong, fit woman in armor, both beautiful and wild.
* FieryRedhead: She has red hair, fitting her rough and violent nature as a WarGoddess.
* GeniusBruiser: She's very clever in all kinds of strategy.
%%* TheLadette: Although she's implied to have a girly side, too.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red eyes to match her hair and she's the Goddess of War.
* SitcomArchNemesis: She argues constantly with Fernobelia, as [[BrainsVersusBrawn their lifestyles and personalities are polar opposites]].
%%* StatuesqueStunner: While her height isn't really mentioned, it's implied.
* WarGoddess: She's the goddess of war.

[[folder:Wilieris]]
Goddess of Land and Bountiful Harvest. She appears as a graceful, middle-aged woman, both kindly and refined. Married to Grimp. One of three gods (along with Lulutia and Kufo) who usually gets invoked at weddings.

* ArchEnemy: To Serelipta. They fought over the land/sea ration during the creation of the world, and haven't really stopped arguing since.
* HappilyMarried: Grimp mentions to Ryouma that he and Wilieris are on their 'billion-an-somethin' honeymoon'.

[[folder:Grimp]]
God of Agriculture and Livestock. He appears as a strong, middle-aged man carrying a hoe. He's married to Wilieris.

* HappilyMarried: Grimp mentions to Ryouma that he and Wilieris are on their 'billion-an-somethin' honeymoon'.

[[folder:Manoailoa]]
God of Wind, Travel, and Performing Arts. He doesn't seem to have a defined form - he's said to "take the form of the ever-present wind and watches over us".

* TheFaceless: Even his worshippers have no idea what he looks like. At the Gimul festival in LN vol 5, Ryouma meets a troupe of travelling performers who pay tribute to him by tying handkerchief-sized cloths around a masked statue.
* TheGhost: Has not appeared in the series to date.

[[folder:Serelipta]]
God of Fishing and Ports. His home appears as the depths of the ocean. Looks rather like a merman in the illustrations.

* ArchEnemy: To Wilieris ever since the creation of the world, due to their disagreement over the land/sea ratio.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Nearly all the depictions of Serelipta show him as a tall, butch, brawny man.
* ForTheLulz: Inverted. Unlike the other gods, Seralipta thinks Ryouma's quite boring and offers him extensive critique on being interesting to watch. Ryouma realizes later he doesn't actually mean to be insulting, he just has no filter.
--> '''Ryouma's POV''': Somehow, this god I'd never met was giving me serious "editor lecturing an author about every single mistake they make" vibes...
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He appears as an androgynous teenage boy with long flowing hair.
* MightMakesRight: Big believer in this, to the point he deliberately triggers Ryouma's trauma from his Earth life to try and overcome his crazy-level mental resistance. After Wilieris and Grimp come along and rescue Ryouma from his clutches and report him for breaking the rules... he gives Ryouma a tip about finding a rare slime, gives him a vague warning about the future, and sincerely wishes him well. Wilieris thinks that [[WithFriendsLikeThese he actually ''likes'' Ryouma]].

* HeroesWantRedheads: It's implied that Reinhart was [[HeroOfAnotherStory good light novel fodder of his own]] before he became a father and husband, and he's devoted to his redheaded wife.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MakotoKoichi (Japanese), Ciarán Strange (English)

[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Also known as Limour birds in the English translations]]. Five normal Rimel Birds and one

* TookALevelInBadass: All the slimes, except for the healing and cleaner slimes, learn to use weapons and practice martial arts to protect their cores. As such, by the time Ryouma takes them to help deal with a monster outbreak in the local iron mine, they have become skilled enough in battle that they can take on an army of goblins outnumbering them three to one, and in the anime, swarm and annihilate the goblin commander and his hobgoblin entourage. The metal and iron slimes go on to learn how to take the forms of weapons and become literal {{Living Weapon}}s.

* TookALevelInBadass: All the slimes, except for the healing and cleaner slimes, learn to use weapons and practice martial arts to protect their cores. As such, by the time Ryouma takes them to help deal with a monster outbreak in the local iron mine, they have become skilled enough in battle that they can take on an army of goblins outnumbering them three to one, and (anime only) swarm and annihilate the goblin king. The metal and iron slimes go on to learn how to take the forms of weapons and become literal {{Living Weapon}}s.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Fay gets a much bigger role in LN vol 7, as he serves as Ryouma's bodyguard during his visit to the Jamil family.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: They're genuinely friendly and cheerful to Ryouma but they're still highly trained and experienced assassins and were hired to serve as security guards alongside the clerks.

* {{Expy}}: The way Fay describes the history of the Gilmarese Empire, it bears a strong resemblance to the real-world [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin%27s_wars_of_unification Qin's wars of unification of China]].

* HiddenWeapons: The both of them are constantly armed with concealed weapons. Li Ling's hairpin is a razor-sharp pick and Fei's walking cane conceals a sword.

* HiddenDepths: As the heir of a noble family that strongly believes in being RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething, Eliaria has already had a lot of education about things that children normally don't, like economics. In order to attract Rimel Birds as familiars, Eliaria learns to play the violin and is very good at it, especially for an eleven year old. She's also very good on the flute.

* PeekABangs: His bangs cover his right eye.

* PeekABangs: His hair covers the right side of his face.

* BladeOnAStick: Ryouma taught them how to use spears, and they can use their own poisons to coat the tips, allowing them to cripple opponents with even shallow wounds.

* BladeOnAStick: His weapon of choice is a spear.
