* PrinciplesZealot: The reason Sato's fighting style repulses him is that he sees "war" and "murder" as interchangeable terms, so he is convinced that "justice" mandates using the absolute minimum amount of force possible, always sparing enemies when he can, and trying to avoid casualties on both sides. It's not until his party's monk Mc Lean is dead as a result of attacking a troop of goblins head-on, only using lethal force at the last moment when Hydra is taken out with a blow to the head that he begins to think differently, but by that point, it's only himself and Angelica in the party and she convinces him to use lethal force on civilians, merchants, that they intended to rob, to LeaveNoWitnesses. He has a complete and total melt-down when his own principles come back to taunt him after he kills Angelica by pushing her off a cliff to her death.

She mocks Mc Lean's death. When Hydra rightly wonders what a trained warrior who spent his whole life on the battle-field like Sato might have to say about their prospects, Angelica feeds Reid's principle zealotry that war and murder are interchangeable then proclaims that Hydra is a burden and needs to redeem herself by bringing Sato back to the party, or else. When it's just the two of them Angelica convinces Reid that stealing supplies from merchants is their only option, and of course, they have to leave no witnesses, which officially makes them bandits. When Reid sees Angelica steal jewelry and other valuables, rather than the supplies they need, the two get into a fight and she winds up dead, completing his descent to villainy, with no way back.

Furthermore, now that the sub-commanders know execution is in play for failure, the armies either smash themselves into fortified human positions until none are left standing, or retreat from easily winnable fights because they don't want to run the risk of fighting and losing, only to be killed.
* RemovingTheCrucialTeammate: Satis was the top commander of his armies and his top strategist. Stripping her rank and post left his armies leaderless and disorganized. Battles that could have been easy victories are now either horribly lost or not fought at all.

The guy, identifying himself as Holmes, had to declare that it was merely idle curiosity and had no ill will to keep Sato from lashing out.
* EndearinglyDorky: What Satis loves most about him, and why she enjoys teasing him, is that puberty has grabbed him with both hands and his body's going "wait. Pretty girls are a thing?!

* HypocriteHasAPoint: As pointed out by Hydra, Angelica was just as gung-ho about getting Sato out of the party as everyone else, but Angelica was right in taking Reid to task for booting him the way he did, and for Reid's naive and foolish thinking that "[Sato's] power is not one that serves and helps humanity" when the party is ''in the middle of the wilderness'' and needs all the help it can get in dealing with swarms of monsters belonging to the Demon King's army, or just swarms of random wild beasts. It's even more poignant with Sato being the one who was most often tasked with standing guard at night and now the rest of them are left without a watchman.

* CategoryTraitor: Because Reid has 100% support from the king for unstated reasons, the fact that Reid kicked him out of the party means that even if he knew how to get home, he'd be seen as a traitor and deserter and killed on the spot. Even after Satis, of all people, offers to go with him as a high-value POW, he stops and thinks for a second before going "nah, not worth it," believing that he'd probably still be killed, even in light of such a monumental accomplishment. As such, he offers his hand in friendship to Satis and asks her to join him in his journey to explore the world and maybe find a house for himself. Tickled pink, she agrees.
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: He is one of the best fighters in the human lands, but in exchange, his entire childhood was stolen from him. Even something so simple as ''table manners'' eludes him. He knows they exist, but hasn't a clue how to actually implement them.

Not to mention Sato's their best fighter, by far. Naturally, things unravel in a hurry when the Demon King's armies start coming for them. They even have the misfortune of clashing with Sabo at one point, and the guy doesn't even have to fight them seriously to stomp them, yawning and wandering off, bored, letting them live because it's not worth his time, breaking their fragile egos even more.

Because the "hero" found Sato unpleasant, he would force the kid to stay up all night standing watch, starve him, forcing him to ration his meals ''and'' eat out of sight of the rest of the party, never sharing the good food, but only allowing him the preserved, and badly tasting emergency rations, if that, and sent him out to fight when he was barely able to stand. So the very night after thus lout kicks Sato out of the party with nowhere to go and no options, he loses most of their supplies to a monster attack, is forced to eat terrible rations, loses team-mates left and right, and at the end of his rope, turns to banditry and then winds up fighting what remains of his party to the death. Only at that point does he even have the tiniest inkling of what Sato's life was like.

The realization causes him to have a complete and total meltdown, grasping his head and trying to convince himself he's the good guy.

* FallenHero: After booting outSeto, Sato, it's just one setback after another until the only two members of the party, himself and Angelica, are so desperate for supplies that they turn to banditry. When he whines about how Angelica pressured him into it, he winds up killing her in the struggle with her, completing his fall from heroism to villainy.
* HolierThanThou: His FatalFlaw. He bootsSeto Sato from the party, telling himself and anyone who will listen that Seto Sato is just a rampaging brute whose fighting style "lacks justice" and is not a power to save mankind, completely overlooking the fact that humanity is in a war ''of survival'' against the Demon King's armies of monsters. Even after kicking Seto Sato out, he firmly insists that as the "hero" he is more noble, righteous, and morally upright than everyone else. When it's just him and Angelica left, she gets fed up with it and tries to kill him for it.
* {{Irony}}: He fully expected Sato would wind up turning to banditry because he abandoned the kid in the wilderness with no options and "[Sato] only knows how to kill." Sato winds up meeting Satis and the two of them wind up becoming authentic heroes, beating off Demon King army attacks at several villages, towns, and cities.

When he has to stand watch himself, all night, because the rest of the party refuses to even take shifts, he cries out "why is this happening?! I've done nothing wrong!"
** When Mc Lean, the monk, falls to an ambush, because Sato wasn't there to scout for them, Reid mocks the guy's corpse, saying he deserved it for being a weakling.

* GoodFeelsGood: She's much, much happier travelling with Seto and living among human civilians than she ever was being the top commander and lone female of the Demon King army. This is due in large part to people showing her kindness, respect, and gratitude when she does something nice for them, as opposed to the Demon King's VillainousDemotivator antics.

Satis, for her part, has difficulty understanding why he didn't gloat or taunt her, like she used to torment the Hero party.

Former top commander and lead strategist of the Demon King's army. She is not only stripped of her post, but sentenced to execution when the Demon King decides she lost to the Hero party one time too often. She somehow manages to escape, battered and bloody, only to almost literally run into Seto, her {{Archenemy}}, collapsing at his feet, face first. Rather than kill her when he has the chance, she finds herself in bed in a nearby cabin being tended by Seto. After a few false-starts, the two realize they've been expelled from their respective armies and have to work together to survive. Romance ensues.

[[folder: Seto]]
The titular ChildSoldier. He was raised in the gladiatorial pits and conscripted into becoming a soldier, at age 5. Fighting and killing is all he knows. According to the original source, he would have been condemned for not ''also'' being proficient at camp-side chores, but because he's extremely capable of wielding a magic-sword (sword summoned by magic), he was given a certain amount of leeway. At the age of 12, he's drafted into the Hero party as part of the force to go after the Demon King. One day, while they were all in the wilderness, the so-called Hero just summarily and unilaterally went full-tilt HolierThanThou and expelled him for his brutal, efficient, and uncompromising fighting style "for lacking justice", sneering that Seto would likely become a bandit because killing is all he does, at which point the party would happily and self-righteously hunt him down with everything they got. With no options, no idea where he is or how to get home, Seto walks into the forest to hunt and almost literally bumps into Satis, his {{Archenemy}} in the Demon King's army only to watch her collapse from exhaustion, covered in wounds, and scars, her iconic outfit in tatters. Curious about what's going on, he carries her to a nearby abandoned cabin and lays her down to rest while he eats. It takes a few days of touch-and-go communication before they're able to come to an understanding that they've both been expelled from their respective armies and realize they have to work together to survive.
