[[FriendToAllChildren Naofumi especially loves watching out for young children]], [[ChildrenAreInnocent knowing they don't deserve to suffer for the problems that adults cause]].

** '''Humility''': Naofumi doesn't like to use [[GlorySeeker glory as the motivator for his Heroics]], and will often state that he wants to be recognized as "The Savior" who travels the land selling quality wares and providing essential services to the people instead. And as shown in the [[EverybodyLives Zero-Casualty Wave]], he stated that the honor of that victory goes not to him, but instead to Princess Melty: who had devised the stratagems Naofumi and his Party had used to beat the Wave without anyone dying.

** '''Diligence''': Due to his Japanese upbringing Naofumi is the epitome of efficiency, as shown in his dealings as a Merchant selling his services to repair the damages caused by the other Three Heroes: where he manages to not only resolve the initial problem but actually provide the original service that the Hero had unintentionally skimped out on.

** '''Patience/Temperance''': At times, Naofumi often tries to avoid direct conflict with others; knowing that because of the accusations levied against him by King Aultcray and Malty it would make doing business difficult. This is best shown in his meeting with King Aultcray following the Zero-Casualty Wave where he was willing enough to put up with Aultcrays' beratement if it meant that he'd be allowed a chance to speak with Melty. And when denied that chance ,along with not removing one of the arbitrary restrictions Aultcray unjustly placed upon Naofumi to prevent his Party from getting stronger, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere Naofumi decided to just leave Melromarc altogether]], and cite that either the Queen would show up to put him back in his place, or the Citizenry will get fed up with his actions and do him in: either way, Naofumi will not do anything more with him.

** In the aftermath of the Second Wave; which was Melromarcs' first successful '''[[EverybodyLives Zero-Casualty Wave]]''' thanks to Naofumis' efforts, and that when brought before King Aultcray, Naofumi stated that while he was an efficient FrontlineGeneral in that battle; he was just ''"a single Hero"'' with just a small squadron of Knights and his family at his side, and that the entire battle plan and strategy that was drawn up in two hours preparation before the Wave was actually done by Princess Melty: whom Naofumi wanted to speak with and congratulate on her success.

* HumbleHero: Compared to [[GlorySeeker the other Three Heroes]], Naofumi doesn't at all care much about showering in praise and glory, and if there is still a crisis going on or a problem that needs fixing; he won't bother half-assing it and will do everything in his power to the brink of total exhaustion just to go that extra mile.
** After beating Motoyasu in the Race for Lordship over Lute Village; Naofumi finds out that Queen Mirellia had sent a message saying the he was to be the new Lord of the village, only for Naofumi to turn down the offer and say that Lute needs an experienced Lord like the original Lord to maintain order and safety within the village. The villagers are grateful enough for all the help he had provided to them for saving the Village from the Wave Monsters to helping to rebuild most of their town over the last few days with his Skills that they decided to help Naofumi build him his Cart as a sign of their gratitude.
** Following the defeat of the [[BotanicalAbomination Bioplant]] in Lerno Village, Naofumi would spend the following morning using his newly-mastered [[GreenThumb Plant Modification and Plant Analysis abilities]] to modify Bioplant seeds to create safer fruit-bearing plants to feed the village with; along with asking for the other unmodified Bioplant seeds from Lord Lerno as his payment in-lieu of an actual monetary reward.
