| 11 | [[caption-width-right:350:(Sigh) What a bother.]] |
| 12 | The protagonist. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AccidentalHero: When he healed Lucia from the brink of death, it was purely by accident as he didn't even know he had that ability. Furthermore, every time his "protect" skill activates, it's always in a reflexive manner, regardless of his intention. |
| 15 | * AccidentalMarriage: He doubles down on his mistake in patting Lucia on the head by telling her that she should save herself for marriage when she offers herself up to him. He doesn't realize that this is basically telling her that she's his bride. |
| 16 | ** He does the same to Erin in the web novel. |
| 17 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the manga, he only deals with one attacker at a time. In the web novel, he defeats an assassin unit composed of ten assassins simultaneously, literally single-handed as he's attacked while he's holding a baked potato dish that he was serving to Lucia in one hand. |
| 18 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Played with. In the manga, Erin stalks him to his doorstep and all Shinji does is offer her a place to stay. In the web novel, Shinji defends Erin from a Balk Kingdom assassin unit composed of 10 assassins, but only because they attacked him in his orphanage while he was serving dinner. |
| 19 | * AdaptationNameChange: In the manga, his name is Shinji Naomi. In the new light novel, he's Naomi Matsuda. In the web novel, he's Shinji Masatsugu![[note]]Some translators indicate that this is an issue regarding whether his name is read as katakana, hiragana, or furigana.[[/note]] |
| 20 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the webnovel, Shinji is a DotingParent, to the point of PushoverParents to the orphans in his care, and a cocky {{Jerkass}} to stuck-up twits who happen to cross his path, with a glaring penchant for BrutalHonesty and CondescendingCompassion. In the manga, he HatesEveryoneEqually, and openly says so, though he TookALevelInKindness towards the orphans in his care during later chapters. |
| 21 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Which ''backfires''. He tries to comfort a crying Lucia, only to run head-on into CultureClash by learning, too late, that in the beast-man culture, letting someone pet you on the head means accepting them as your master. |
| 22 | * AgeLift: In the manga (which was either written or translated first), Shinji is either freshman college or graduating high-school, thus around 20 years old. In both the light and web-novels, he's first year high-school, which makes him 16. This strongly tones down the unfortunate implications of the PrecociousCrush the orphans in his care have for him. |
| 23 | * AllergicToLove: He just wants to make the orphanage prosper and finds raising children difficult enough. Being on the receiving end of marriage proposals, flirting, or sexual teasing makes him cringe. |
| 24 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: His "analyze" skill seems to trigger when his "protect" skill does, as he admits seeing his enemies coming at him in slow motion and always hitting them right where it hurts. |
| 25 | * BathtubBonding: In the web-novel, it's revealed that he's grown quite accustomed to sharing an onsen with ''all'' the girls in his orphanage, to the point that he sees absolutely nothing strange about having another woman walk right in and join them, no matter how embarrassed she is, with nobody wearing a ModestyTowel. There is a bit of TruthInTelevision here. In Japan, there is nothing unusual about parental figures sharing a bath with their charges, regardless of gender, until such time as said children head off to highschool, away from their parent's eyes and roof. In addition, the one time, on-screen, where a new woman did join them in the bath, it was to enter into delicate nation-level negotiations, and Japan does have a ''centuries'' long tradition of discussing such things in bathhouses, as the bath is the one of the few places people can truly be themselves, without fear of reprisal, or standing on ceremony. |
| 26 | ** In chapter 15 of the manga, Shinji abjectly refuses to share a bath with any girl until Shii, Erin, and Lucia badger, browbeat, and cajole him into joining them, under the flimsy premise that they need an even number of participants to literally wash each other's backs. |
| 27 | * CassandraTruth: In the webnovel, after he's literally grabbed the throne away from King Waltham, purely so he can deal with Winkheim's one-sided declaration of war, it doesn't matter how often he honestly proclaims that he has absolutely no long-term interest in running the country, the orphanage and children are all he cares about. The nobles and military insist on going CorneredRattlesnake and trying to rack up achievements as fast as possible to protect their current position, even if that puts them in mortal peril, or they're openly disobeying Shinji in the process. |
| 28 | * {{Catchphrase}}: "Yare, Yare." |
| 29 | * CovertPervert: At least in the web-novel, when the girls barge in on him as he's bathing, wearing not a stitch of clothing, and they refuse to use a ModestyTowel, he quietly and secretly admires the view, [[ObliviousToLove jealous of the guy who will wind up marrying them, not realizing it's himself.]] |
| 30 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: He hates sweets, though he will grudgingly tolerate it in order to share a meal with Lucia. [[PrecociousCrush She approves.]] |
| 31 | * EntertaininglyWrong: When Erin goes full-tilt {{Tsundere}}, he believes she's trying to exploit him. It goes so wrong, it's scary. |
| 32 | * AnEntrepreneurIsYou: In the manga, chapter 12 has him, along with Erin and Lucia, earning money for the orphanage selling Odango in a food stall. Once he manages to get someone to actually try it, their entire stock runs out in the blink of an eye [[SupremeChef because he's just that good.]] |
| 33 | ** In the web-novel, he expands into selling soap, mirrors, and other things. |
| 34 | * GotVolunteered: He's shoved into running an orphanage by the king of Waltham, and given a small bag of money as "living expenses." |
| 35 | ** It happens again when Dran of the Adventurer's guild shows up. Despite Shinji outright refusing, Dran throws a slightly bigger bag of coins at him, and makes him "an honorary adventurer" before running away, dragging Gozuzu behind him. |
| 36 | * HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The king and royal sage considered his "protect" skill as being of little tactical value. What they don't realize is that when he wants to protect something, his skill will have him do whatever it takes to actually do the protecting! Whether it's bringing someone from the brink of death back to perfect health, or smashing an orihaculm sword in half barehanded, or anything in between. |
| 37 | * HeroicNeutral: All he cares about is his survival, and discharging his duties as the director of an orphanage with as little grief as possible. The only reason he's considered heroic is that his duties as the director of an orphanage mandate that he treat the children in his care kindly, and he does, way above and beyond the call of duty. |
| 38 | * HiddenDepths: Which even he doesn't know about. It is strongly speculated, even in the novel's description, that he actually has some broken OP "cheat" skill, but it didn't show up when he was being analyzed by the royal sage, because his "protect" skill recognized the king as a threat, and combined with "analyze" hid everything else he's got. |
| 39 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: He does truly treasure the children in his care, he's just terrible at showing it. Said children realize that, and love him anyway. |
| 40 | * HouseHusband: Which he lampshades in his internal monologue. Since his mother ran off to screw around, literally, and his father's a violent drunk who couldn't be bothered, he's had to learn how to do ''both'' gender roles, all by himself. He's become quite jaded in child-rearing as a direct result. |
| 41 | * HumbleHero: He hates getting praised. He finds it very annoying. Though he does like seeing the children in his care actually laugh and play, it's purely because they're not getting in his way and being underfoot. |
| 42 | * IdiotBall: Manga only. In the manga, an InspectorJavert forces her way into his house on rumors that he's sexually exploiting the girls in his charge, convinced he's guilty and trying to catch him red-handed, even forcing herself into his bed at night, only to realize from Lucia's night terrors and Erin's sleep-walking fugue, where Erin openly attacks her with wind magic, that Shinji's got damn good reason to treat them the way he does, then comes back and accuses him of sedition, again on unsubstantiated rumors and drags him to trial in a KangarooCourt, the only reason Shinji walks out of that is because his accuser reveals herself as a high-ranking demon who infiltrated human society and tried to have him executed. Then this ridiculous prosecutor comes back a third time, saying foster parents have been found for Erin, Lucia, and Shii, the water god. Shinji agrees to let them all go without bothering to check if this is true, and after a 1 week grace period, just takes this wacky prosecutor at her word that the girls are happy and don't want to see him. It's only as he's working for the adventurer's guild that he starts having second thoughts about all this. |
| 43 | * IgnoreTheFanservice: Shinji pointedly ignores the "romantic" overtures, both deliberate and accidental of his entire UnwantedHarem, because he sees them as a children. |
| 44 | * ImNotAHeroIm: He gets '''furious''' if people call him a hero or charge him with protecting humanity. He's an orphanage director, and that's all he wants to be known as. |
| 45 | * InvincibleHero: Regardless of medium, his "Protect" skill makes him NighInvulnerable, and most of his battles end in his favor with a OneHitKill. Fortunately, the entertainment value of the story has little to do with fighting. |
| 46 | * JailbaitWait: In the manga chapter 13, with the traumatized Erin and Lucia lying beside him, he contemplates the fact that the girls are underage and clearly traumatized and wonders if they'll still like him, once they get over their trauma and reach the age of maturity. He's not entirely sure how he'll react then. |
| 47 | * LogicalWeakness: In order for his "protect" skill to work, he must recognize the danger as a threat, and there is a limit on both the quantity and magnitude of threat(s) he can deal with. He is just one human, after all. |
| 48 | * KavorkaMan: He's homely, bitter, grouchy, and lives in a run-down orphanage that's just barely livable, yet as the story progresses, he gains an ever increasing harem who throw themselves at him, romantically, on a near constant basis, and even he can't understand why that is. |
| 49 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: To the joy of the fanbase, after being kicked around by King Waltham on a repeated basis with the orphanage being seized out from under him, leaving him and the orphans nowhere to go, the moment Shinji realizes an army of over 100,000 elite goblins is swarming on the kingdom, with the land his orphanage is on directly in their path, he tells a kowtowing Dran of the Adventurer's Guild, begging him to save the kingdom, "I QUIT!" |
| 50 | * NervousWreck: As he admits in chapter 13, as a direct result of his parent's troubled marriage, he had trouble sleeping, waking up in the middle of the night at the slightest strange sound, because he ''never'' knew where or when the violence would come from. |
| 51 | * NominalHero: Even though he does grow to genuinely treasure the children in his care, he treats them with kindness and respect because it benefits him personally to do so, and he openly admits it, repeatedly. The children still cherish him for it, simply for the fact that he's kind to them, period, and praise him anyway, to his annoyance. |
| 52 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: This new world is so backwards that even the simplest mundane things he does are near-miraculous, and this stumps him. |
| 53 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: In the manga, he single-handedly beats up a slaver ring to rescue Erin. |
| 54 | * ParentalAbandonment: Combined with AbusiveParents. His mother ran off to screw around with other men, and his father was physically violent. He had no parental guidance or affection to speak of. |
| 55 | * ParentalSubstitute: He does run an orphanage, so he is this, by default, to his chagrin. |
| 56 | * PerpetualFrowner: He greets just about everything with a scowl, and who can blame him. He's treated with derision by everyone his age or older, both on Earth and in this new world. |
| 57 | * PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Sometimes gently, but often not, he scolds the girls in his UnwantedHarem that being nude in his presence is unacceptable, especially in the BathtubBonding entry. They don't care. |
| 58 | * PowerIncontinence: He often has little to no control over his "protect" ability, and what it does. In chapter 10, a couple of thugs show up at the orphanage, boasting of having Erin as a hostage so he'll just stand aside as they smash the place, and in his rage, all manner of loose objects go after the guy smashing walls with a hammer, and later the AlphaBitch "top prostitute of the land" has a swarm of bees going after her face. |
| 59 | * RealPolitik: After installing himself as the King of Waltham, he learns, first hand, that ruling a kingdom and running a war is hardly easy, even if your knowledge of strategy and tactics happens to be light-years ahead of the general population, or you have super-powers that make you better than everyone else in the room. The Nobles all insist on protecting their own territory and refuse to send troops to aid the war effort, unless their own lands happen to be in the path of the enemy army. This quickly causes a schism between those under threat and those who are not. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Fortunately, one of the enemy generals decides to barge in and threaten them all, at which point, the recalcitrant nobles go]] MilesGloriosus, [[NiceJobFixingItVillain removing themselves from the equation.]] |
| 60 | * RefugeInAudacity: When he hears that Balk has openly declared war on him, personally, sending over a million undead troops, he marches over to the royal castle of Waltham, right through the guards, the knights, ''his former classmates'', and the local nobles, to then grab King Waltham by the scruff of the neck, throw him off the throne, and sit on it himself. It works primarily because he's got princess Erin of the elven kingdom and ''the demon king'' in his entourage vouching for him. |
| 61 | * RescueRomance: Though he's completely clueless, this is the reason the girls of his UnwantedHarem keep throwing themselves at him, regardless of his protests. |
| 62 | * ResignedToTheCall: He doesn't even try to object to the way he's treated or being shoved into running an orphanage, as he's well aware that if they actually listened, the powers that be would just make things worse. He does complain about the orphanage building being a ruin, but the carriage driver and knights just laugh and ignore him as they drive away. |
| 63 | * ShotgunWedding: In the web novel, after Miyamoto has ''willingly'' become the vessel for the GodOfEvil, and comes after Shinji, Shinji is forced to marry his entire UnwantedHarem, including the GodOfGood, Ortiz, to defend the kingdom of Waltham, including his orphanage. Shinji is not happy about this, and Miyamoto then goes on to delude himself ''[[IRejectYourReality that Shinji forced the girls to marry him, and stole them away from himself.]]'' |
| 64 | * StockLightNovelHero: Deconstructed. He pointedly did not want any of the package that comes with being whisked to another world, is absent without leave from his part-time job, that he likes, and is shoved into running an orphanage without any training, or experience, and the orphanage is a broken-down ruin too, that required a full-day's work to even be marginally livable. |
| 65 | * SupremeChef: Though he firmly refuses to believe it, he is a fantastic chef in all mediums, and regardless of whether it's Earth or this new world. |
| 66 | * SurroundedByIdiots: While shades of this appear in the manga, the web-novel turns it up a notch. He winds up looking like a tactical or strategic genius because the people who antagonize him, especially the nobility of Waltham, are so dead-set in their ways, StupidEvil, or both, that he can easily out-think them without even trying, and can ''easily'' anticipate what they're going to do, even predicting an air-strike when the army of Waltham was busy dealing with a million man undead army. |
| 67 | ** In fact, with rare exception, it's so bad, he has to lecture them like he's scolding little children before they understand what he's saying. [[NeverMyFault At which point, they have the gall to be enraged that he's scolding them like little children.]] |
| 68 | * ThinkNothingOfIt: He tells Lucia, twice, that the fact he saved her from a goblin's deprivations, and her own terminal illness are nothing to thank him for. [[IOweYouMyLife She thanks him anyway.]] In fact, what he considers basic decency is something the children he cares for view as an incredible act of kindness. |
| 69 | * ThouShallNotKill: At least where it concerns his former classmates, he's extremely reluctant to kill them, even when they've done things so horrible they deserve the death penalty, and his internal narration repeatedly states how naive this is. Such mercy consistently turns around to bite him where Miyamoto is concerned, as the latter is so self-entitled that he sees it as an unforgivable insult and comes at Shinji in a vengeful rage. |
| 70 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: He is stuck in Waltham with no way to return to Japan. |
| 71 | * TheUnfavorite: His mother abandoned him, his father is violent, his teachers and fellow classmates treat him with disdain, the king that forcefully summoned him and the rest of his class dumped the duties of running an orphanage on him, just to be rid of him. The only place he liked was his part-time job because that was apparently the only place where he was treated with any respect or decency. |
| 72 | * WorkplaceAcquiredAbilities: His part-time job back on Earth taught him the basics of marketing, such as free samples and setting up a stall. It's something simple he can do so the orphans in his care can learn to earn their way, and fund the orphanage. |
| 73 | * XanatosGambit: Exploited. When Winkheim's self-proclaimed NumberTwo, a golem the size of the royal castle, smashes his way into the war-chamber, Miyamoto and the Nobles who absolutely, positively refuse Shinji's leadership, power, protection, and support, boasting that they are inherently superior in every way, without evidence, utter a warcry and charge said golem to prove their "courage and heroism." Shinji just smirks, sits on the throne, and doesn't try to stop them in any way. He figures either Miyamoto's faction gets lucky and defeats the golem, or the golem squashes them like grapes, killing them. Either way, it's one less thorn in his side to worry about, and his hands stay clean. |

| 76 | [[folder: Lucia Ouldklein]] |
| 77 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lucia_1.jpg]] |
| 78 | [[caption-width-right:350:Who could say no to such a face!]] |
| 79 | The first child Shinji's saddled with. |
| 80 | ---- |
| 81 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Lucia is considerably more jealously possessive of Shinji in the manga than in either the web or light novel. In the manga, her response to seeing Erin come home in clothing that's even ''more'' stripperific than her normal attire, combined with being in a PrincessCarry in Shinji's arms, thanks to the efforts of the same thugs who kidnapped her, is to sport a DeathGlare and SlasherSmile while telling Erin "Why don't we have a chat later?" Erin may not be afraid of dying at the hands of slavers, but she's terrified of Lucia. |
| 82 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: Once she's firmly established herself as Shinji's "companion," she goes out of her way to get head-pats and rubs from him, and really enjoys it. |
| 83 | * AgeLift: In the manga, her age is '''''10'''''. In the light novel and web novel, her age is 13. |
| 84 | * AnimalMotif: A house-cat. She has many cat-like behavioral traits, like curling up in Shinji's lap to sleep, loving having the area behind her ears scratched, and when she's peeking over a table to watch something, she bends her spine like a cat does. She's also just as curious... |
| 85 | * ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: Subverted. As thanks for saving her life, she strips naked and offers herself up, sexually, as "proof" of the master-slave relationship. The subversion comes from the fact that she's '''overjoyed''' when Shinji tells her to save herself for marriage, rather than take her up on it. |
| 86 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Because Shinji treated her with ''basic decency'', she is completely smitten with him, even if he objects. |
| 87 | * CatGirl: She has cat ears and a cat's tail. |
| 88 | * CovertPervert: She has... quite the imagination. |
| 89 | * CultureClash: The fact that she comes from a SlaveRace that expects head pats only from parents or their chosen masters bugs the hell out of Shinji, who comes from modern Japan, and abhors slavery. What's worse is that Lucia's race views being a SexSlave as a noble goal, which Lucia goes and demonstrates, by stripping naked and coming onto him. His reaction is exemplary. |
| 90 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: The light novel reveals that Shinji is ''not'' her first master, and her previous owner abused her to the point of torture, throwing her away when she got deathly ill, with no known cure. Not to mention that her parents died in war. |
| 91 | * EntertaininglyWrong: Combined with PsychologicalProjection. When a thug approached them, clearly targeting her, she thought said thug was targeting Shinji, thinking that the thug desires him as much as she does. Both Shinji and the thug told her why she was wrong. |
| 92 | * FilleFatale: Though she's not good at it, she's quite eager to have Shinji view her romantically. Shinji's resigned to ignoring it because she's half his age. |
| 93 | * HappinessInSlavery: Firmly in the life-debt category. She offers herself up to him as his slave because he rescued her from certain death. |
| 94 | * HeroicHost: In the web novel, she temporarily becomes the host to Ortiz, the GodOfGood, to allow Ortiz to marry Shinji and give him the power to deal with "Evil God Miyamoto." |
| 95 | * HiddenBackupPrince: She's actually royalty, the lost princess of the beastman nation. This is what allows her to temporarily host Ortiz's body. |
| 96 | * IAmNotPretty: When she first met Shinji, she called herself a beastman with an ugly face. Shinji... thinks differently. |
| 97 | * MundaneLuxury: Her life before Shinji was so terrible, three meals a day, an afternoon snack, and a bar of soap are all luxuries she couldn't even dream of. |
| 98 | * PastExperienceNightmare: Seeing her parents murdered, being abused violently as a slave, and being abandoned when she fell ill has traumatized her to the point that she suffers horrific nightmares every night. She has to sleep ''beside'' Shinji so she realizes she's not alone and can rest properly. |
| 99 | * PrecociousCrush: Her romantic feelings for Shinji are genuine, but being half his age, he's not interested. |
| 100 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: In chapter 3, she insists on going shopping with Shinji, and then holding hands with him in the market. In the first place, she would have been unable to defend the orphanage by herself. In the latter, she was the LustObject of the area and holding hands with Shinji deterred ''most'' of the unsavory suitors. |
| 101 | * SelectiveObliviousness: She responds to Shinji rebuffing her romantic overtures by deliberately misinterpreting his rebuffs as romantic overtures of his own. Though this understandably annoys him, he just can't bring himself to be genuinely mad at her. |
| 102 | * SleepCute: In chapter 2, after she finishes cleaning house faster than Shinji can blink, he offers her a reward, and she demands a head-pat, then she curls up in his lap and nods off. Before he realizes it, Shinji nods off too. |
| 103 | * SweetTooth: She loves sweets. She finds a pancake Shinji accidentally made way too sweet as the best thing she's ever tasted. |
| 104 | * TopWife: Combined with FirstGirlWins. She's Shinji's first SelfProclaimedLoveInterest, and she doesn't mind sharing, but she is ''very strict'' about being in first place, using seniority as the defining metric. Shinji wisely does not rock the boat in this regard. |
| 105 | * UndyingLoyalty: She will serve Shinji to the best of her ability, until the day she dies. |
| 106 | * WhenSheSmiles: Her genuine, heartfelt smile is so heatwarming, even Shinji is moved. |
| 107 | * YankTheDogsChain: What she believes about her life. She honestly believes that if she ever gets too happy, someone is going to come along and steal it away. Shinji... is not amused. |
| 108 | * YouRemindMeOfX: In chapter 7, when Dran of the Adventurer's Guild shows up, and Gozuzu starts getting violent, Shinji is briefly annoyed that Lucia's clinging to his back, saying nothing, then he sees the look on her face and realizes that she's '''exactly''' like he was when his mother walked out on him and his father after one violent argument too many. |

| 111 | [[folder: Erin]] |
| 112 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erin_5.jpg]] |
| 113 | [[caption-width-right:350:I will use you, Shinji, to avenge my people against the kingdom of Balk!]] |
| 114 | The queen of the elves. |
| 115 | ---- |
| 116 | * ACupAngst: When Shii shows up and forces herself into the orphanage, Erin almost immediately feels threatened by the disparity in their chest sizes, and doesn't hesitate to say it, even after Shinji himself repeatedly rejects Shii's advances, violently. This is so irrational, Shinji is clueless. |
| 117 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original webnovel, she is basically a clone of Lucia. In the manga and light novel, she has a very distinct personality. |
| 118 | * ArentYouGoingToRavishMe: When Shinji freaks out at the fact that she offered herself up sexually, she's stunned that he's someone who ''won't'' try to kidnap, manipulate, or extort her. |
| 119 | * CommonalityConnection: Lucia bonds to her immediately because both girls had their parents murdered. |
| 120 | * DoomedHometown: Doomed home country. Balk, for reasons yet to be explained, invaded and burned the elven kingdom to the ground. [[StupidEvil This is despite Balk being at war with the demon king already.]] |
| 121 | * EntertaininglyWrong: At Shinji's FreakOut, when she strips naked, in public, right outside the orphanage door, she accuses him of being one of those brutes who likes being rough and marginally violent when he sweeps her up, drags her inside and then throws her clothes at her. Shinji has to pointedly spell out that he's not sexually interested in her... |
| 122 | * FallenPrincess: She still identifies herself as the Queen of the elves, though her country no longer exists. |
| 123 | * FreakOut: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Every! Single! Night!]] She wakes up with a panic attack, as a direct result of the horrific experience of having her kingdom burned to the ground, and living life on the run, trying to keep from being kidnapped, enslaved, or worse. This is revealed at the start of chapter 13, manga. |
| 124 | * LivingMacGuffin: Her whole life, people have been trying to kidnap, exploit, or manipulate her for their own ends. When Shinji pointedly refuses to do so, she's stunned. |
| 125 | * NotAfraidToDie: In chapter 11, as she's waiting in a cell, held by slavers, she's not afraid of dying in an attempt to escape, she just regrets not being able to share the dinner table with Shinji and Lucia at the orphanage. |
| 126 | * SexForServices: She strips and offers Shinji her virginity if he will become her mercenary to help her avenge herself on the kingdom of Balk. Shinji... freaks out. |
| 127 | * {{Stripperific}}: All she has to her name after fleeing the fall of her kingdom is the clothing she's wearing, and she doesn't have much of it. |
| 128 | * TearsOfJoy: When Shinji, at Lucia's urging, welcomes her into the orphanage, and lectures her ''exactly'' like her father used to, she smiles and weeps at the same time as she's headed to her new room. Shinji both notes and lampshades it before getting ready to prepare dinner for three, not two... |
| 129 | * TomboyPrincess: As she lampshades. She mentions that she was quite the handful to her father when Shinji treats her the same way her father used to. |
| 130 | * {{Tsundere}}: Deconstructed. She's fond of Shinji but is too proud, scared, and distrustful to express it, so Shinji views her odd behavior with suspicion until she runs off in a rage, leaving him completely confused. |
| 131 | * YouRemindMeOfX: Shinji reminds her of her father, and she testifies that her father was indeed good and kind... |

| 136 | [[caption-width-right:350:You have no idea what it's like being trapped in that well!]] |
| 137 | The third of the children who wind up in Shinji's care. |
| 138 | ---- |
| 139 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: On the receiving end. Shinji breaks the seal on her, letting her out of the well, by angrily throwing a stone in, due to the hassle of having to walk several miles, each way, to get to the nearest active well, while the one on his own property is bone dry. |
| 140 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: She returns in chapter 39 of the manga under the influence of some unidentified "master" and is dead-set on trying to kill Shinji in a yandere way. |

| 144 | * MundaneUtility: Being a normal Japanese native, Shinji almost idolizes bathing. As such, he tasks Shii to use her abilities to set up an onsen on the orphanage's property, which ''everyone'' that lives there enjoys, [[BathtubBonding at the same time.]] |
| 145 | * NavelDeepNeckline: The top of her shirt is held on by a collar, the bottom by a bow, with everything in between wide open. It's amazing her breasts don't fall out all over the place. |
| 146 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She's over a thousand, but provides the image shown. |
| 147 | * SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: She constantly insists Shinji's her husband under StandardHeroReward, chagrined to find Lucia and Erin have laid claim before her. |
| 148 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: No matter how Shinji rebuffs her, and he's extremely blunt and straightforward about it, she just keeps on clinging to him and trying to force her way into his pants, even when he slaps her in the face! |
| 149 | * WomanChild: She may be thousands of years old, but she has the mental and emotional maturity of someone around Lucia's age, ''if not younger''. |

| 154 | * AChildShallLeadThem: King of the demon nation, a pre-teen girl. |
| 155 | * ExtraOreDinary: Her primary magical ability allows her to melt and dissolve metals. This proves very useful when Shinji wants to work with silver to make mirrors. |
| 156 | * FallenPrincess: Driven out of her home country by Balk, she sneaks into Waltham to meet Shinji, her only hope. |
| 157 | * HornedHumanoid: Has small horns on her head. |
| 158 | * MysticalWhiteHair: She's got silver hair and is a powerful magician who can melt steel with but a gesture. In fact, doing so is what gives Shinji the idea to craft mirrors. |
| 159 | * ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Embarrassed, she tries to cover herself when she walks in on Shinji and the others bathing and has to be talked into actually entering the onsen to relax and engage in the much needed high-level negotiations she has to undertake to get Shinji's cooperation. |

| 167 | * HappinessInSlavery: When Shinji shows up and pays off her debt, as a calculated risk, to get her into an exclusive contract to forge mirrors, an expensive luxury item, on his behalf, she treats it as if he bought her on the slave market, seeing as the consequence for failing to pay said debts would have had her sold into slavery. To Shinji's confusion, she constantly calls herself [[ItIsDehumanizing "his thing"]] and will happily serve him for life. For his part, Shinji just treats her as another orphan he has to take care of, with decency, which tickles her pink. |

I can't tell insects apart, you see.]]The demon agent sent to attack Shinji but then winds up negotiating with him when she realizes she doesn't stand a chance in a straight-up fight. In the manga, she's actively an agent of Ruqui, and the source of a great deal of villainy. |
| 174 | ---- |
| 175 | * AdaptationalNameChange: In the original novel, she was named Mira. In the manga, she goes by Morte. |
| 176 | * AdaptationalVillainy: In the novel, she's NotEvilJustMisunderstood, and a bit misguided. In the manga, she is clearly evil and gives Shinji a lot of grief by filing several ridiculous and patently false charges, trying to legally get him killed, and she works directly under Ruqui, trying to have Lucia, Erin, and Eustacia offered up for HumanSacrifice, even briefly corrupting and brainwashing Shii, the goddess of water. |
| 177 | * {{Ambadassador}}: She's the demon army's top diplomat and can kick ass six ways from Sunday. |
| 178 | * CategoryTraitor: The top brass of the Winkheim army have the gall to see her as a traitor to their "cause" after Shinji breaks her free from their magical control that they shoved on her without her consent. |
| 179 | * DefeatMeansFriendship: ''TWICE''. First, she hurls a fireball at him when she observes the orphanage, to test his strength. When he hurls it back, knocking her out of the sky, she surrenders and offers a non-aggression pact on behalf of the Demon King, which Shinji accepts. The second time, she's forced to attack him, under a magical hex by the kingdom of Winkheim, and she's boosted up on [[FantasticDrug "Fairy Life Drop"]] which makes her considerably stronger, at the cost of grievous harm to her body. She swears UndyingLoyalty when he manages to subdue her without killing her, break the hex, and heal her body. |
| 180 | * EvilChancellor: In the manga version, she's the Prime Minister of Waltham, second only to the king, and she's the God of Death, looking to destroy the world. |
| 181 | * HumansAreInsects: In the manga, she pointedly declares that she sees all humans are insects. Only Shinji is different, because his [Protect] skill can actually trounce her if he uses it properly. |
| 182 | * KangarooCourt: The reason Shinji winds up having to deal with a rather overzealous prosecutor is that she repeatedly threw charges at him, just to see what sticks. She eventually manages to get said prosecutor to drag Shinji to trial on charges of Sedition, and lined up a bunch of bad actors to try and slander him. It's only because she herself was brought to the stand and questioned, under a magic seal to keep her from lying, that he was cleared. When that happened, she dropped all pretense and just straight-up tried to kill everyone in the room, bored. |
| 183 | * MakeMyMonsterGrow: In the manga, when Shinji manages to beat her as he's rescuing Lucia, Erin, and Eustacia, she sends swarms of zombies at him and runs. When Shinji and crew manage to corner her in Waltham's throne room, King Waltham MIA, she "changes her uniform" and becomes a literal giant, towering over the royal castle. |
| 184 | * MakeThemRot: In the manga, she uses her aspect as the God of Death to create a lethal mist that instantly kills and decays anyone it touches, and it can not be dispelled until she wills it. Shinji's desire to protect the children in his care manages to block the attack but leaves him unable to counter, and if Morte's not taken down, there goes the kingdom. |
| 185 | * MeaningfulName: In the manga, she goes by Morte and is the god of death. |
| 186 | * PeoplePuppets: Winkheim captures her as she's covering Laara's escape and then puts a hex on her that forces her to comply with Winkheim's villainy. She's fully aware of what her body's doing, but powerless to do anything about it. |
| 187 | * PlayingWithFire: Fights with fire based magic. |
| 188 | * PropertyOfLove: To Shinji's confusion and annoyance, she calls herself his POW as a result of him defeating her, without killing her, and breaking the hex that made her Winkheim's literal puppet. |
| 189 | * ProudWarriorRaceGuy: When she's forced to fight Shinji, to the death, she's ''overjoyed'', because it means she'll die honorably, fighting the good fight against a superior foe. |
| 190 | * SadisticChoice: Attempted. She promises to dispel the deadly mist she's using against Shinji and the orphans, if he can hold out for seven days, but the kingdom would be destroyed by then, the only alternative being the sacrifice of the children under his care. Shinji, being an orphanage director, chooses the children without a second thought. Morte calls the outcome "boring." |
| 191 | * UndyingLoyalty: The only being to whom she's more loyal than Shinji is her "King" Laara, who is already willingly serving under Shinji by that point. |
| 192 | * WingedHumanoid: She has appropriately large wings that allow her to fly. |

| 214 | ---- |
| 215 | * TheCakeIsALie: He promises to ''consider'' sending Shinji back to Earth if he can somehow not only bring the orphanage he's sent to back from ruins, but manages to successfully raise 10 children. Shinji has his suspicions, but has no choice in the matter and complies with the "request" anyway. |
| 216 | * GenreBlind: While he is aware that he's in an isekai story, he has no clue how any of it works, nor does he care. He throws away his most promising "recruit" because his initial skills are lackluster. |
| 217 | * ItsAllAboutMe: The fact that you were kidnapped to be my vassal, that your life is inconvenienced, and that it's in no way your fault that your skills are lack-luster. Too bad, you're going to get punished because my plans for you were "ruined." |
| 218 | * KidnappedByTheCall: Inverted. He's the one doing the kidnapping, or rather, giving the order to do said kidnapping on his behalf. |
| 219 | * LaserGuidedKarma: After Shinji gets accustomed to his power, fed up with King Waltham's forces, of all shapes and sizes, messing with his life and business, and receiving no aid when Balk's army comes marching on the kingdom, Shinji walks right through Waltham's military forces like they aren't even there and completely disrupts King Waltham's life by literally throwing him off the throne, dethroning him, and sending him off to parts unknown, just to get rid of him, letting him see how that feels. |
| 220 | * NoNameGiven: He's so arrogant, he doesn't even bother to name himself as he's having Shinji's class analyzed and assigned jobs. |
| 221 | * RightForTheWrongReasons: He sent Shinji to run an orphanage in a distant district purely to get rid of him, seeing him as nothing but a "worthless incompetent." Sending Shinji to run that orphanage was actually the right decision as the kids actually appreciate him, and he does truly care for them. |
| 222 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: Granted, it is a bit of a shock to be dethroned without ceremony, by being picked up, thrown off the throne, and having the guy who threw you sit down in it, but when he backs up his claims with the will of the people, the will of your supporting nobles, the leaders of the neighboring kingdoms who have officially asked for his aid in dealing with a common enemy, marching on your nation, and the sheer fact that he managed to get to said throne by single-handedly marching right through your strongest military forces like they weren't even there, it's a much better idea to shut your mouth, open your eyes and ears, and pay attention to what he has to say, rather than throw a tantrum, screaming that you're the king and making all sorts of threats until you're bound, gagged, and dragged out of the room. |
| 223 | * TooDumbToLive: His response to having the royal sage say "protection has the potential to be a support skill" is to angrily shout "You imbecile! How is a support skill supposed to be of any help?!" |
| 224 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Summoning Shinji's class and assigning them jobs based on their skills to deal with the oncoming threat of Balk, and Winkheim behind them, is perfectly understandable. Giving the "hero" Miyamoto carte-blanche to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and letting him believe he's infallible, just to keep him content, has not only come back to bite the whole kingdom, but has caused Miyamoto ''to turn on humanity'' and side with the GodOfEvil, just to feed his own ego for the sake of believing he's more "worthy" of being King than anyone else, and when that doesn't work, unsealing an ''even worse being'' actually making him responsible for unleashing the greatest threat his world has ever seen. |
| 225 | ** In the manga version of events, it's even worse. Summoning the teen "heroes" in the first place disrupted the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil, giving Morte carte blanche to descend on and wreck the world in retaliation, as the summoning ritual was ''only to be used'' if Morte broke her end of the balance by descending upon the world first. |
| 226 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In the novel version, Shinji throws him off his throne and sent him away, nobody says where. In the manga, Shinji finds Morte sitting on the throne, and she never bothered to learn where this sot went, as she can't be bothered to tell one insect apart from another. |

| 237 | * CrocodileTears: When Shinji has him pinned, he cries and gushes considerable amount of mucus from his nose, pretending to be truly sorry for an unprovoked assault, but then tries to attack Shinji from behind the moment he's released. |
| 238 | * DidYouActuallyBelieve: Combined with ISurrenderSuckers. He fakes surrender when Shinji has him pinned in an arm lock, and is holding his head with enough pressure to cause physical pain. Then tries to attack Shinji from behind as soon as he's free, while internally saying "did you really think I would let you go?". |
| 239 | * HairTriggerTemper: He's disgustingly easy to piss off. |

| 241 | * MuggingTheMonster: Being twice Shinji's size, he thought Shinji and Lucia would be easy prey. When Shinji takes him down with ease, he ''still'' thinks Shinji's easy prey, if attacked from behind, until a fragment of an orihalcum sword smacks him in the face. |
| 242 | * NoNameGiven: Subverted. His name is not mentioned until chapter 7. |
| 243 | * RevengeMyopia: When Lucia cringes from his entirely unwelcome advances, he has the gall to "have his feelings hurt" and demand reparation. When he grabs Shinji, and Shinji forces him to the ground, demanding an apology for his completely unprovoked assault, he has the gall to want revenge for feeling wronged. When he fakes surrender and Shinji releases him, he tries to attack Shinji from behind. The last one gives him a scar he's not likely to forget. |
| 244 | * TestosteronePoisoning: He thinks he's a "real man" because he has more muscles than brains. |
| 245 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: He returns in chapter 7, escorting the head of the Adventurer's guild and still attacks Shinji "for being cheeky" because Shinji doesn't bow and scrape before him. It takes the head of the Adventurer's Guild smacking him down to make him see reason. |

Despite the previous director's fate being unknown, the debt owed by the estate is still valid, and he very, very politely and cordially tried to collect, even reducing the principal after the actions of his son and daughter who tried to demolish the place without explaining why. |

| 276 | * MadeASlave: Combined with LaserGuidedKarma. When he shows up at the orphanage and starts throwing his weight around, Shinji asks the demon diplomat for a favor, and has her enslave Rile, as a gift for the Demon King, so he learns how Lucia felt.

Even after Morte herself revealed that all the charges were totally bogus, she still persecutes Shinji, declaring foster parents have been found for Lucia and Erin, and telling him the girls don't want to see him any more, and using the authority of the kingdom to keep him from checking if it's true. |

| 287 | * BlindWithoutEm: If her glasses fall off, she's legally blind, as showcased in chapter 44 of the manga when Shinji is trying to break her, Erin, and Lucia out of a cell Morte has built to offer them up as HumanSacrifice. |
| 288 | * CanonForeigner: She doesn't exist in the novel version. She's brought in for the manga to give Shinji a reason to go storm the Waltham royal castle, because that's where she shipped off Lucia and Erin, winding up caged as well. |
| 289 | * HateSink: She is utterly reviled by the fanbase for the way she forced herself into Shinji's life, traumatized Lucia and Erin by forcing herself into bed with them and Shinji, dragged Shinji off to a KangarooCourt on false charges of sedition, dragged Lucia, Erin, and Shii off to "foster parents" that turned out to be a HumanSacrifice ritual and brainwashing into a gang of bandits respectively, ''and flat out lied'' that the girls didn't want to see Shinji any more after the week-long "cooling off" period she agreed to spend watching over the new families to make sure ''they'' weren't up to anything nefarious. |
| 290 | * LawfulStupid: Even after Morte reveals she's ''The God of Death'' working under the sway of Ruquia, '''The God of Evil''', Eustacia still gives Shinji grief under Morte's orders and has Lucia, Erin, and Shii dragged off to "foster parents" to traumatize him, and pointedly lies to Shinji about the girls not wanting to see him, just because Morte still has the title "Prime Minister Mortissimo." |
| 291 | * ProsecutorsFallacy: She bent herself into pretzels trying to find Shinji guilty of something, even shoving herself into his bath and bed to "catch him in the act" of abusing the girls in the orphanage. She apologizes after seeing with her own two eyes that Lucia and Erin are clearly traumatized and suffer from ''extreme'' PTSD, but immediately goes right back to hating on Shinji the instant he's charged with sedition, despite there being no evidence whatsoever. |
| 292 | * RealityIsUnrealistic: Downplayed. Yes, child welfare officers aren't at the point they will barge into the bath and bedroom of their investigation targets, but they're so intrusive that they apparently wish they could. As outlandish as her actions are, she's a very, very effective representation of the horrific downside of child welfare agencies, worldwide. Many horror stories of their abuses exist in both fact and fiction. |
| 293 | ** They see parents or guardians on their radar ''actually protecting'' their young charges and trying to keep the children from being taken away as an admission of guilt and will go through any mechanism they can to actively rip those children out of the family, and actively make the guardians' life hell, and they will often win, due to having a government agency backing them, and know how to properly massage the local judges, parents or guardians being reunited with their children at that point basically requires divine intervention, even with the aid of the media and hard evidence the child welfare agency was wrong. |
| 294 | ** In the case of actually abusive parents or guardians, if the abusers know how to play the game and are "properly" compliant, the agents ''bend over backwards'' to try and keep the abusive behavior quiet and erase all evidence. Who cares if the child is suffering, the abusers are "repentant" and "getting the help they need." |
| 295 | ** The foster homes where children are shipped off to might, if the child is lucky, pass inspection ''once'' and then as long as the paperwork stays in order, good luck getting another inspection, and even then, the inspectors go out of their way to give the foster home every possible chance to pass by warning them well in advance of the visit and telling them what they're there to try and find, so every possible sign of malice is well hidden away. |
| 296 | ** Agents who ''actually care'' about the children are worn down with sheer volume of cases until they no longer have the energy to fight or are otherwise driven to the point they StoppedCaring. |

| 319 | The Winkheim general attacking the fairy village, taking fairies captive to use as slave labor, and responsible for hexing Mira. |
| 320 | ---- |
| 321 | * ExplainingYourPowersToTheEnemy: Hoping to drive Shinji and co to despair, he boasts about how his trump card will keep scattering them to random dimensions, bouncing them among the VoidBetweenTheWorlds for all eternity, with no way to stop it, even if he's killed. Shinji just sighs, and calmly throws him in the way of his own attack... |
| 322 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: As a direct result of boasting how unstoppable his dimension magic's ultimate form is, he gets thrown into its path, making him bounce between dimensions uncontrollably, for all eternity. |
| 323 | * MilesGloriosus: Loves to boast about being a mighty warrior. He's actually just a total chump, though he did successfully breech the barrier on the Fairy Village and accomplish a grand tactical victory by seizing a castle, intact. The only thing making him dangerous is his dimension warping ability, but even that doesn't help him much, because he doesn't use it wisely or effectively, and his actions are just way too predictable, even if he didn't constantly boast about what he's going to do... |
| 324 | * SinisterScythe: Uses a scythe to attack his enemies, trying to behead them by appearing from directly behind them. |
| 325 | * SpaceMaster: Can warp dimensions and use them to attack. This makes him the first antagonist Shinji had any kind of struggle against. |
| 326 | * VillainsWantMercy: When he realizes he's in the path of his own attack, that will send him bouncing uncontrollably among dimensions, for all eternity, he begs to be spared, even demanding that Shinji trades places with him. Shinji just retorts with his catchphrase and watches wail in despair as his own attack hits him and he's lost in the VoidBetweenTheWorlds, forever. |

| 331 | ---- |
| 332 | * AnArmAndALeg: Once the uppity Nobles and Miyamoto got a hefty taste of HumblePie and started following Shinji's orders, Baron Golem started to see what makes a ZergRush scary, eventually losing one of his arms, while his attacks wound up doing squat. |
| 333 | * GiantEqualsInvincible: The size of a castle, and skin of stone. No blade will cut through it. |
| 334 | * HumansAreInsects: Happily calls all the solders of Castle Waltham bugs, and he's big enough that he can justify such an assessment. |
| 335 | * {{Kaiju}}: He's the size of a castle. |
| 336 | * MightyGlacier: Powerful in offense and defense, but slow. If he hadn't been sent ahead as a scout, Winkheim's undead army would have far outrun him. |
| 337 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: By showing up and attacking Castle Waltham, rather than just doing his assigned role of scouting the enemy defenses, he puts a screeching halt to the RealPolitik going on inside that was hindering Shinji's war effort, especially by giving Shinji's opposition some much needed HumblePie. |

In the manga, he waits until Gozuzu comes at Shinji with a sword, refusing to intervene until Gozuzu attacks Shinki ''a second time'' after Shinji defends himself from Gozuzu's attack, and then drags Gozuzu back to the Adventurer's Guild, rather than being followed back by a grovelling Gozuzu, who was begging for his job back. |
| 359 | * AintTooProudToBeg: When he hears about Shinji's unparalleled strength, he's not ashamed to come begging for Shinji to join the guild. |

| 362 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He is fully understanding that Shinji's primary responsibility and top priority is the orphanage he was assigned to run by the king. |
| 363 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: In the light-novel, he brings a second adventurer to be his body-guard while negotiating with Shinji, in regards to seeking help to deal with an incoming dragon.

| 385 | [[folder: As a whole]] |
| 386 | * BreakTheHaughty: Every time they appear on screen with Shinji, he beats them down and humiliates them without even trying, nor having any actual intent to do so, making them swear revenge, completely ignoring the fact that their humiliation is a direct result of their own actions. |
| 387 | * TheBully: So far, without exception, they loved to push Shinji around, making his life hell back in Japan, and continue, or try, in this new world. When Shinji's "protect" skill activates and gives them a nice Karmic smackdown, they have the gall to be incensed and openly voice the desire for revenge. |
| 388 | * DemotedToExtra: In the manga adaptation, they have no characterization, at all, and are just straight up converted to zombies by Morte off-screen, having no other interaction with Shinji than to be a horde of nearly mindless drones trying to keep him busy while Morte goes to the throne and goes OneWingedAngel. |
| 389 | * DrunkOnPower: After finding themselves in Waltham's summoning chamber, they let their transit granted special skills go straight to their head, thinking they can lord themselves over anyone and everyone they come across. The fact that the king of Waltham actually assigned them important roles in his army and near-constantly calls them "heroes" doesn't help. |
| 390 | * FastballSpecial: They are so desperate to keep Shinji from meeting King Waltham, that they try to dogpile him, and hold him down. He simply ignores them until he's at the throne room, and the King's nobles start hurling verbal abuse and death threats. At this point, he throws them at the nobles, one at a time, until the nobles shut up, realizing they don't stand a chance against his rage. |
| 391 | * LastSecondChance: By the time Shinji makes them become his subordinates, in the war with Balk, they've already done things so heinous, the entire kingdom, save the previous King Waltham, wants them all dead, this includes Shinji himself. In fact, he briefly considers having them executed when they're unconscious, after they attacked him, with what would have been lethal force if he was anyone else, as he was en route to King Waltham's throne. He instead gives them one last chance to redeem themselves, simply because he needs all the help he can get, just to keep the collateral damage to a minimum, and keep his orphans safe. |
| 392 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: When Balk ''openly declares war'' on Shinji, fully planning on sending an army of undead through Waltham to get at him, and he makes clear he's been appointed the king, and they're now his troops, having to obey his orders, they scream and protest they were dragged to Waltham by a summon spell and it's tyrannical for Shinji to force them to obey. He reminds them that A.) They've chosen to stay in the castle of their own will and happily agreed to be soldiers to the kingdom of Waltham. B.) They've already been compensated, in advance, by the previous king who gave them carte-blanche to do whatever they wanted in the kingdom, including engaging in acts of wanton violence on the citizens, with the citizens not being allowed to defend themselves, because they had the king's royal sanction backing them. C.) Even if he, personally, forgives them, the rest of the kingdom's nobility, who had to suck it up and take it when their fiefs were being trod under by them for their debauchery, won't. |
| 393 | --> '''Noble''': "Obey Matsasugu's orders and do your duty, or it's the death penalty!" |
| 394 | * OffscreenVillainy: Aside from their heinous acts towards Shinji, their off-screen behavior has been so abominable that ''everybody'' wants them dead, save King Waltham. When he's dethroned by Shinji, their only option is do their duty as soldiers and fight Balk, or die. |
| 395 | * ProfessionalButtkisser: According to Shinji, they're all great at sucking up to anyone in authority, making themselves look like "model students" but actually hold others in contempt and treat everyone they think beneath them with total disdain. To date, Shinji's assessment is shown to be correct. |
| 396 | * RevengeMyopia: In Japan, they treated Shinji horrifically, in ways both subtle and gross, looked upon him with derision as "worthless" in Waltham's summoning chamber, and go out of their way to antagonize him in this new world, the moment they get the chance, but the moment things don't go their way, their eyes go bloodshot, they honestly believe ''they'' are being wronged, and swear bloody vengeance. |

| 403 | * AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the manga, he's Rile's son, not Shinji's classmate from Japan. |
| 404 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the manga, he manages to come through being attacked by Shinji's automatic "Protect" skill with only some AmusingInjuries. In the lightnovel, he winds up with his arms and legs bent the wrong way, painfully, after he attempts to vandalize the orphanage, behind Shinji's back. |
| 405 | * AmusingInjuries: When Shinji gets through with him, he's beaten ugly with a broken nose, and his face pushed all out of shape. |
| 406 | * TheBully: In the webnovel and lightnovel, he's one of Shinji's classmates that loved to go and harass people he thought weaker than himself and [[DrivenToSuicide came pretty damn close to making Shinji commit suicide back in Japan.]] |
| 407 | * ForTheEvulz: He and his gang kidnaps Erin from just outside the orphanage door and uses her as a hostage so he can threaten Shinji to stand aside while he demolishes the orphanage, for no explained reason. |
| 408 | * GroinAttack: Suffers one from Shinji in the webnovel. |
| 409 | * LoanShark: In the manga, it is explained that he showed up at the orphanage, tried to sell Erin into slavery and smash the orphanage itself into rubble, without explaining himself, because he thought that would be the best way to clear the debt on the orphanage. His father, Rile, makes an official apology to Shinji and asks the boy for an alternate method of payment, one that his other very ill son needs to live. |
| 410 | * NamedByTheAdaptation: Readers of the manga would never learn his name. In the original webnovel, he's Torita. |
| 411 | * RevengeMyopia: Right before Shinji shuts him up by mashing his face with a frying pan, he has the gall to shout (through a few missing teeth and lips almost swollen shut) "You bastard! Do you know what's going to happen to you now?!" for the fact that Shinji beat him up for smashing holes in the orphanage walls and threatening to demolish it completely, without even explaining the reason. |
| 412 | * ShameIfSomethingHappened: Right before he starts smashing holes in the orphanage walls with his hammer, he presents Erin's headband to Shinji and says "if you don't stay quiet and stand aside, we can't guarantee the princess's safety!" |
| 413 | * SkewedPriorities: On the receiving end. Shinji is angrier at the fact that he's got the gall to bleed all over the place after being on the wrong end of a beatdown than the fact that just moments before this oaf used a war-hammer to bash a fairly large hole in the wall next to the door, without bothering to explain himself. |
| 414 | * VillainsWantMercy: When he finds himself on the wrong end of an oncoming FlechetteStorm, he begins pleading for Shinji to stop. |
| 415 | * WouldHurtAChild: In addition to threatening Erin's safety, he's all too eager to smash an orphanage to rubble for no explained reason, leaving orphans with no place to live. |

| 420 | [[caption-width-right:350:What is "trash" like you Shinji compared to the great me "HERO"?]]Yet another "classmate" that loved to bully Shinji. |
| 421 | ---- |
| 422 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He wants to TakeOverTheWorld, as he believes is his birthright, but simply ''given'' the throne is not enough, he has to take it, by force, and utterly goes ThisIsUnforgivable should Shinji dare to defend himself from his one-sided grudge. |
| 423 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: All nice and smiles around anyone with authority, utterly atrocious to anyone and everyone he thinks beneath him. |
| 424 | * BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Praise him as TheHero destined to save the world and he will, without hesitation, see you as an ally, even if you're the GodOfEvil, and openly admit it, or a "male succubus" that has been anally raping him, for a while. Tell him the truth, that he's an entitled idiot who betrayed humanity for his own gain, and he will see ''you'' as irredeemably evil, and he has to take any and all measures necessary to kill you and erase you from existence. |
| 425 | * BlackComedyRape: Normally, male on male anal rape is a horrific and traumatizing act, worthy only of disdain. Not for this guy. He is such an abusive, entitled, idiotic, obnoxious, self-righteous douchenozzle, that watching him being chased by a self-professed male succubus while covering his anus and screaming "No, please stawhp [sic]!" is actually ''hilarious.'' |
| 426 | * TheBully: Though he preferred to keep his own hands clean, he loved to send subordinates, like Torita, to torment his targets. |
| 427 | * TheCasanova: Fully deconstructed. He's not just a shameless skirt-chaser, he blackmails women into "relationships" with him, and then throws them out when he gets bored, leaving behind a long, long trail of tears, broken hearts, and minds. He also has a history of {{Cuckold}} by taking the lovers of others by force. |
| 428 | * DesignatedHero: In universe. The king of Waltham dubs him "The Hero," gifts him a holy sword, has him trained day and night in its use, and then sets him loose upon the world. |
| 429 | * DirtyCoward: Though he completely deludes himself otherwise, he's only fond of going after people markedly weaker than himself, and when he finds himself in genuine danger, runs away, abandoning his allies, calling it "a tactical retreat." |
| 430 | * DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans: Combined with UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans. After seeing Shinji seize the throne, he deludes himself into thinking he's more worthy of the crown than Shinji is, and is predestined to rule not just Waltham, but the whole world, micromanaging the lives of everyone, to save the people from themselves, and to do it, he will happily employ any and all means necessary, even if that means willingly letting himself become the vessel to the GodOfEvil, whose very nature ''destroys everything it touches.'' When that doesn't prove enough, he ''goes and unseals an even worse entity'', but is so deluded that he genuinely believes he's done nothing wrong and can't understand why it's turning around to bite him. |
| 431 | * EntertaininglyWrong: In the manga, a million man goblin army is marching upon the kingdom of Waltham. Shinji was pretty much press-ganged into going after the goblin king while Miyamoto was in the vanguard of the king's army protecting the capital. Shinji defeats the goblin king incognito while Miyamoto spots a goblin stronger than the other and attacks it. The goblin army scatters quickly after Miyamoto's kill, so he presumes he killed the goblin king instead. Not wanting the headache of the publicity that would come from the accomplishment, Shinji lets the GloryHound take the credit and goes back to running the orphanage quietly, or trying to. |
| 432 | * EntitledBastard: He's always believed that since he got perfect scores in school, and was an expert ProfessionalButtKisser, the world was his given birthright. King Waltham dubbing him a "hero" has driven this sense of entitlement well past the point of no return, where he's completely detached from reality, or accepting any consequences for his actions in any way. |
| 433 | * EvilIsPetty: The crux of his murderous grudge against Shinji? He spots Shinji ''in the opposite corner of the classroom'', and after a few days of Shinji not going out of his way to come before him and praise his self-proclaimed "greatness," goes over to Shinji, minding his own business, fully intending to make him. He never gets the chance because Shinji responds to the intrusion into his space and [[SeriousBusiness interrupting his attempts to prepare the recipe for the night's dinner]] by calling him "trash." Miyamaoto responds to '''that''' by shouting "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!" and then trying to figure out a way to kill him. |
| 434 | * FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence: He has always utterly detested Shinji for the "crime" of merely existing, and has done his best to drive the latter to suicide in Japan, by bullying. In Waltham, King Waltham calling him a "hero" goes completely to his head, and he goes out of his way to have people harass the "useless" Shinji, in ways both subtle and gross, swearing vengeance when it turns on him, and then decrying that ''Shinji's '' the one who's abusing "the power given by chance" stealing away the throne and glory that is rightfully his. |
| 435 | * GloryHound: He can't stand being placed in the rear, using his holy-sword mastery skill as an area-effect healing buff, even though he's made well aware that it's the best use for him tactically and strategically. As such, he repeatedly puts his allies in peril by disobeying Shinji's orders and rushing to face the enemy head-on, without plan, preparation, or valid back up, getting HumblePie shoved down his throat repeatedly in the process. |
| 436 | * IControlMyMinionsThrough: Violence and threats of violence. In Japan, he was so good at sucking up to the teachers and pretending to be a "model student" that the rest of the class was effectively cowed into obedience, since he could just point and say "sensei, she's lying" if someone filed a complaint against him. This carried over to the King of Waltham. Without this support system in place, 80% of the class turns on him, first chance they get [[RevengeMyopia to his rage, which he blames upon Shinji.]] |
| 437 | * IgnorantOfHisOwnIgnorance: Accustomed to being TheBully back in Japan, being able to suck-up to teachers if his intended victims fought back, and waltzing around the kingdom of Waltham, being able to throw his weight around without resistance, thanks to King Waltham's sanction protecting him, he is utterly convinced that he's an unstoppable juggernaut, his loss to Shinji being a mere fluke that had to require some despicable trick on Shinji's part he hasn't figured out yet. As such, when one of Winkheim's generals shows up, he rushes off to face it, all LeeroyJenkins style. Shinji doesn't even try to stop him, because Shinji has good reason to want this guy dead. |
| 438 | * InformedAttribute: He's supposedly a Mensa-level genius who aced every subject in school, but on-screen, he's a total moron who is so self-righteously stupid, one wonders how he even remembers to breathe. |
| 439 | * IRejectYourReality: By the time chapter 95 of the web novel comes around, his repeated doses of HumblePie and LaserGuidedKarma running head first into his NeverMyFault tendencies have caused him to become completely delusional, to the point that even being killed won't cure him. |
| 440 | ** He's firmly convinced himself that he's the hero chosen by Destiny to save this new world, by conquering and controlling it, and every aspect of people's lives, and Shinji's the villain, even though Miyamoto ''willingly let himself become a vessel to the GodOfEvil.'' |
| 441 | ** All the girls he blackmailed into "relationships" with him, even taking them by force from their boyfriends, in both Japan and this New World? Abandoning them when he got bored, leaving behind a trail of tears and broken hearts? ''They came on to him, and abandoned him when they got bored!'' |
| 442 | ** His classmates that were way, way past sick of his bullying, violence, and threats of violence, turning on him the moment he lost the support of the crown? They were his "beloved" followers, whom he doted on, and turned on him either because Shinji used some kind of dark magic to control their minds, or for no reason at all! |
| 443 | ** His classmates are the evil traitors to humanity, hiding behind women and children, when he's the one who turned his back on humanity by siding with Winkheim, letting himself become the vessel for the GodOfEvil, and while he's the one using a woman as a hostage. |
| 444 | * IronicHell: Combined with RewardedAsATraitorDeserves and CruelMercy. Being a traitor to humanity, willingly letting himself become the vessel to Ruiqui, the GodOfEvil "for justice," she happily uses him to deal with Amon, the god of annihilation, which he himself unsealed. She also gifts him with immortality so the backlash of her power doesn't kill him mid-fight with the MadGod. This immortality does not come with a HealingFactor, so he overloads his body and lies on the ground helpless and in overwhelming agony as a result. She then leaves him unattended in her domain as she goes to apologize to Shinji with a box of Valentine's Chocolates and at the "mercy" of the same Scylla, aka "male succubus" to whom he's been subjected BlackComedyRape to receive more of the same, ''for all eternity.'' Considering he spent his life engaged in SexualExtortion, QuestionableConsent, {{Cuckold}}, and maybe even outright rape on women who caught his fancy, regardless of age, he has no right to complain. |
| 445 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He has always believed that the world revolves around him. Failure to validate this by going out of your way to ''openly worship'' him has him going full-tilt ThisIsUnforgivable and plotting to murder you. |
| 446 | * LaserGuidedKarma: He comes after Shinji with a holy-sword, a national treasure, because Shinji refused to hand over Lucia, Erin, and Shii, for his own twisted pleasure, and the fact that the girls themselves were utterly disgusted with his proposal. Not only did Shinji completely NoSell the attack, and briefly snatch the sword away, but now the sword itself wants nothing to do with him. |
| 447 | * MacGuffinDeliveryService: Implied. Shii mentions a legend that the holy sword Miyamoto was carrying had chosen Shinji to be its wielder, but because Shinji was shuffled off to a distant orphanage, unaware, it allowed Miyamoto to wield it, until the two met. Once the sword, briefly, was in Shinji's hands, it decided it didn't need Miyamoto any more and became way, way too heavy for him to even hold, let alone wield. |
| 448 | * MilesGloriosus: Loves to brag that he's TheHero of Waltham, and genuinely believes himself an unstoppable juggernaut. He has no experience or accomplishments to back any of it up. |
| 449 | * NeverMyFault: Although he sometimes internally admits that his own bad behavior has consequences, he never allows it to stop him from blaming Shinji for all the bad stuff that happens to him, regardless of what he did, or how said set-backs came into play, not even if he's humiliated by openly disobeying royal decree and doing whatever the heck he wants. |
| 450 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Enraged and entitled, he responds to Shinji refusing the Holy Sword and giving it back by condemning Shinji and seeking to kill the guy. In the manga, this allows him to survive charging through Morte's mist and he actually strikes Shinji with said sword. At that point, the sword considers itself delivered to its rightful wielder, dropping Miyamoto like a rock, and gives Shinji a possible means to counter-attack, though he still has to figure out how to get past Morte's mist. |
| 451 | * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Inverted. In the webnovel, his holy sword chose him as its champion, until he tried to use it on Shinji. When Shinji snatched it out of his hands, in self-defense, took a practice swing, and tried to give it back, because he didn't want to be Waltham's "hero," the sword instantly became far too heavy for Miyamoto to carry, nearly tearing his hands off in the attempt, leaving Miyamoto a broken, weeping mess on the ground, [[RevengeMyopia swearing vengeance.]] |
| 452 | * PsychologicalProjection: He's very fond of assigning his worst traits to others while thinking himself innocent of them, even if he's in the process of ''acting on said traits.'' |
| 453 | * RevengeMyopia: Swears vengeance on Shinji for humiliating him in public, despite the fact that said "humiliation" was a direct result of accosting Shinji, trying to mess with three ''underage'' girls, and coming at Shinji with a sword. |
| 454 | * SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: Deconstructed and defied. The narration specifically states that he bullied people purely so he could harm them, physically, emotionally, and mentally, hoping they never recovered, purely for his own amusement. |
| 455 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: His parents, being powerful politicians, would use their clout to shield him from the consequences of his actions. This led him to using them as a club to get his way, taking over all the gangs of every school he patronized, and led him to believe he should have been royalty in Japan, and saw ''Japanese Law'' as "defective" because Japan doesn't have royalty. |
| 456 | * SelectiveObliviousness: In the manga version of events, Morte has turned all the summoned classmates except himself and Shinji into zombies, but he's so wrapped up in his self-aggrandizement that he neither notices nor cares. |
| 457 | * ShamefulStrip: The web novel makes clear that he loved to have his underlings drag his designated bullying target into public and strip them naked to further humiliate them. |
| 458 | * SpoiledBrat: Back in Japan, he was so accustomed to his parents and teachers coddling him and getting his way, that the first time he faces any difficulty in Waltham, he completely breaks down and is easily seduced into evil by an agent of Winkheim. |
| 459 | * StandardHeroReward: What he believes is due him for his non-existent "heroism." He honestly believes that as Waltham's "hero," he should have every woman he comes across throw herself at him, and service his every sexual desire. When he chances upon a self-proclaimed "male succubus" faking the role of DamselInDistress, he swats aside the monsters and claims "her" only to realize, too late, that it's a trap, in every sense of the word. Cue BlackComedyRape. |
| 460 | * SympatheticPOV: Though he's anything but sympathetic, the story does focus on his point of view, purely to demonstrate how utterly deluded and idiotic he is. |
| 461 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: It takes ''multiple'' confirmations that his empty head is going to go flying from his shoulders if he doesn't put aside his self-inflicted grudge against Shinji, accept Shinji's leadership, and defend the Kingdom of Waltham from Balk. Even then, he's hopelessly antagonistic, and openly rebels against Shinji at every opportunity. |
| 462 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: So convinced he's the hero, that when he hears a disembodied voice calling itself a holy sword, he chases said voice to its source and happily unseals a being so heinous, ''The GodOfEvil'' sealed it away, and then runs away saying [[IRejectYourReality "This is just a dream, this can't be real.]] [[NeverMyFault I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG!"]] |

| 465 | [[folder: Ishijima]] |
| 466 | One of the four top army commanders under King of Waltham, forged from Shinji' class. Shinji only meets them in the web novel because the Adventurer's guild asked him to help subjugate a dragon that was bearing down on the orphanage. |
| 467 | ---- |
| 468 | * EntitledBastard: Sends the head general of the knight order to harass Shinji, Lucia, Erin, Shii, and Sylvia, the daughter of Dran, leader of the adventurer's guild, in the middle of the night, before an expected major battle, and has the gall to demand an apology from Shinji the next morning because he dared defend himself when said soldiers came at him with a sword "for rudeness." |
| 469 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: Wears glasses and is scum who looks down on others. |
| 470 | * IrrationalHatred: Panting and wheezing after climbing a cliff to yell at Shinji, when Shinji asks if he's alright, with genuine concern for his well-being, he explodes with rage. |
| 471 | * MoralMyopia: As if demanding an apology from Shinji for the CrimeOfSelfDefense wasn't bad enough, when Sylvie forces his head to the ground, demanding ''he apologize'' for yelling, screaming, and spewing all sorts of insults to Shinji, he shouts "I can't forgive you any more" and not only threatens violence upon Shinji and co., but incites the three others, Sakai, Yoshina, and Fukaro, to attack as well. |
| 472 | * ProfessionalButtKisser: Friendly and meek to anyone he sees as an authority figure, or "intelligent," but utterly abhorrent to everyone else. |
| 473 | * WouldHitAGirl: As Sylvie is holding him down, he shouts at Sakai to kill her, and Sakai complies, or tries to. |

| 475 | |
| 476 | [[folder: Sakai]] |
| 477 | The second of the army commanders under King of Waltham, forged from Shinji's class. |
| 478 | ---- |
| 479 | * TheBigGuy: Noted to be the tallest of Shinji's former classmates. |
| 480 | * GentleGiant: What he appears to be most of the time. In reality, he's TheBully who loves to use his larger frame to browbeat, intimidate, and otherwise look down on people. |
| 481 | * MarionetteMaster: Creates and controls golems. |
| 482 | [[/folder]] |
| 483 | |
| 484 | [[folder: Yoshihara]] |
| 485 | The third of the army commanders under King of Waltham, forged from Shinji's class. |
| 486 | ---- |
| 487 | * ForgivenButNotForgotten: Being too ashamed of her past as a bully, and too proud to apologize in public, she and a few other classmates go to Shinji's royal bedroom in the middle of the night and apologize for the horrific way they treated him. With as much class as Shinji is capable of presenting (read: not very much), he informs her that while he can still respect her as a class-mate, he will never be able to call her a friend, not after everything he's been through. |
| 488 | * GenkiGirl: What she appears to be, when in public. |
| 489 | * HeelRealization: The first of Shinji's classmates to realize that he does have a legitimate grudge against the class being bullies and dismissive. She even goes on to properly apologize for it. She winds up being ForgivenButNotForgotten. |
| 490 | * LaughingMad: At every opportunity when she deludes herself into thinking Shinji's an idiot and doomed to fail. |
| 491 | * PlayingWithFire: Fights with fire based magic. |
| 492 | * RichBitch: What she actually is. In reality she looks at everyone she doesn't see as an authority with contempt. |
| 493 | * TheStarscream: Doesn't even bother to hide the fact that she intends to turn on Shinji first chance she gets as "thanks" for Shinji offering to let bygones be bygones if she will throw away her self-inflicted grudge and serve to protect the kingdom of Waltham, as she already promised to do under King Waltham. |
| 494 | * StepfordSmiler: She pretends to have a care-free and gentle smile. |

| 496 | |
| 497 | [[folder: Fukano]] |
| 498 | The fourth and final of the army commanders under King of Waltham, forged from Shinji's class. |
| 499 | ---- |
| 500 | * MakingASplash: Attacks with water magic. |
| 501 | * RichBitch: Just like Yoshihara, wealthy and abhorrent, looking at people with nothing but contempt in her heart. |
| 502 | * ShelteredAristocrat: What she pretends to be. |
| 503 | [[/folder]] |
| 504 | |
| 505 | ! Gods: |
| 506 | |
| 507 | [[folder: Ruiqui]] |
| 508 | The Evil God. |
| 509 | ---- |
| 510 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: The god of annihilation is so vile that even she thinks it's too evil to exist and sealed it away. She is pointedly ''not'' pleased that Miyamoto allowed himself to be duped into breaking that seal, [[CruelMercy repeatedly killing and reviving him painfully as punishment.]] |
| 511 | * EvilVirtues: Honesty. She's the god of evil, she admits it, and she tells Miyamoto, several times, yet he still insists he's TheHero, and she's his patron. |
| 512 | * GodOfEvil: Which she openly admits. |
| 513 | * SealedEvilInACan: Trapped in the underworld, unable to affect the world directly. |
| 514 | * StealthInsult: She constantly praises Miyamoto's talent ''for villainy'', yet he pointedly refuses to hear the last part, so she near constantly chuckles at his expense. |
| 515 | * TransformationOfThePossessed: Becoming her vessel turns Miyamoto into an actual demon, yet he still thinks he's being "heroic" by trying to annihilate the entire kingdom of Waltham, including Shinji's orphanage, just to spite Shinji. |
| 516 | * VillainessesWantHeroes: She's smitten with Shinji, but she's stuck with Miyamoto. |
| 517 | * WalkingWasteland: Her very existence destroys all she touches. |
| 518 | [[/folder]] |
| 519 | |
| 520 | [[folder: Ortiz]] |
| 521 | The god of good. |
| 522 | ---- |
| 523 | * DivineDate: In a ShotgunWedding way. She has Shinji marry her, using Lucia as a medium, in order to deal with Miyamoto, as the willing vessel of the GodOfEvil Ruiqui. |
| 524 | * SealedGoodInACan: Sealed in the moon, unable to affect the world directly. |
| 525 | * SymbioticPossession: Temporarily controls Lucia's body while fighting "Evil God Miyamoto." Shinji is ''not pleased'' since he doesn't want the children in his orphanage being in mortal peril. |
