Shirahime
The not-often-seen empress of Eashen.
- Authority in Name Only: Downplayed. She is the empress of Eashen, but she left the governing of the individual territories to the various Feudal Lords, only intervening when any of the Lords stepped too far out of line. She decided to take a more active role in ruling Eashen after the Servile God infiltrated her nation under the guise of a feudal lord and attempted a mass-takeover of the entire country.
- Big Damn Reunion: With the reincarnation of her deceased mother the Snow spirit.
- Commonality Connection: She seems to get along with the Queen of Elfrau for being long lived, and the Pontifex of Allent due to their shared association with the Spirits.
- The Ghost: She is mentioned very early on, but she's not introduced until Volume 15 when Touya invites Eashen to join the League of Nations.
- An Ice Person: She's the daughter of the Snow spirit.
- Immortal Ruler: While not quite immortal, she's been the ruler of Eashen for over two-thousand years, and she seemingly still has a ways to go.
- Irony: Eashen is known for rarely producing people with magical aptitude, yet it's ruled over by arguably the most magical of the world leaders (aside from Touya, of course).
- Master of All: She briefly gains all of Touya's powers during the final battle against the Mutant Phrase through the use of a magic app that had been distributed to everyone's smartphones.
- Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: Her father was a demonkin resembling a Japanese Oni, and her mother was the Snow Spirit.
- Older Than They Look: She looks like a young woman, but is really over two-thousand years old. This is a result of being a hybrid of a typically long-lived race of demonkin, and an immortal spirit.
- Royalty Superpower: She has powers relating to the Snow Spirit.
- Summon Magic: With Touya's help, she made a contract with the Snow Spirit (Her mother) that allows her to call upon the spirit whenever she wants. She received a magic stone as proof of the contract, and as a show of good faith, Touya fashioned it into a bracelet for her.
Ieyahsu Tokugawa
Voiced by: Tesshō Genda (Japanese), Kent Williams (English), Esteban Desco (Latin American Spanish)
- Master of All: He briefly gains all of Touya's powers during the final battle against the Mutant Phrase through the use of a magic app that had been distributed to everyone's smartphones.
- No Historical Figures Were Harmed: He's this world's version of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and retains a similar appearance, role, and personality.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Among the Lords of Eashen, he's one of the friendliest, and is thankful to Touya for helping them out so often.
Jubei Kokonoe
Voiced by: Takaya Kuroda (Japanese), Bill Jenkins (English), Eduardo RamÃrez (Latin American Spanish)
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: The first time he visited Brunhild, he made a beeline straight for the training grounds to inspect the knight order, and wound up in a mock battle with Yamagata.
- Retired Badass: He's on the older side, but he's regarded as one of the best swordsmen in Eashen, beaten only by his own children.
- So Proud of You: He expresses this to Yae when he finds out she's serving as a personal bodyguard to the Princess of Belfast, and again when he finds out that she and Touya got engaged.
Nanae Kokonoe
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Nicole Endicott (English), Alexandra Vicencio (Latin American Spanish)
- Shipper on Deck: From the moment she met him, she apparently knew that Yae would end up marrying Touya some day, something that came as a surprise to her husband.
- Strong Family Resemblance: She's noted as looking like a slightly older version of Yae by multiple people.
Jutaro Kokonoe
Voiced by: Yūki Inoue (Japanese), Stephen Fu (English), Luis Fernando Orozco (Latin American Spanish)
- Fairy Tale Motifs: He found himself in a position similar to that of the suitors in The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. He had heard that Ayane, whom he had feelings for, was betrothed to the son of a wealthy merchant house, so to confess his feelings to her, he hunted down a Fire Rat for its pelt to present to her as a gift. The pelt of a Fire Rat was one of the impossible gifts Princess Kaguya requested in the story.
- Hired Help as Family: He ends up falling in love with and marrying his family's maid Ayane.
- Master Swordsman: He defeated the King of Lestia in an international martial arts tournament, winning the entire thing.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: He began sparring with the knights on his first visit to Brunhild.
Ayane Kokonoe
Voiced by: Yui Otagiri (Japanese), Jeannie Tirado (English), Lourdes Arruti (Latin American Spanish)
- Fairy Tale Motifs: She and Jutaro were in a situation reminiscent of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, with her supposedly getting engaged to the son of a merchant house and Jutaro seeking out the pelt of a Fire Rat to confess to her. It's eventually revealed that it was her sister who got engaged, and that Jutaro had been mislead by hearsay.
- Hired Help as Family: She was already close with Nanae while she served as a maid, but she properly married into the family after Jutaro proposed to her.
Shingen Takeda
The former head of the Takeda house.
- Arc Villain: Subverted. While he's supposedly seen as the Big Bad of the Eashen arc, it is revealed that his Treacherous Advisor Kansuke betrays him by killing him prior, where Kansuke later embodies this trope, making Shingen more of Kansuke's undead front man.
- Evil Mask: In his undead state, he wore one of these, themed after an Oni. It allowed the wielder of a magic jewel to control his corpse.
- Magnetic Hero: He was the one to bring together the Takeda Elite Four, and Touya ponders how good of a leader he had to have been to get a group of such eccentric weirdos to listen to him.
- Posthumous Character: He's already dead by the time Touya meets him, having been reduced to a puppeteered corpse.
- Undeath Always Ends: He finally passes on when the artifact controlling his corpse is destroyed.
Katsuyori Takeda
The son of Shingen Takeda and the former head of the Takeda house.
- 0% Approval Rating: He wasn't well-liked by his people, and it was their uproar at his rule that prompted the empress to step in
- Foil: To Touya. Both of them were new rulers who had the Elite Four working under them. Whereas Touya acknowledged that he didn't know what he was doing and followed the Elite Four's guidance, Katsuyori pushed them away and did whatever he wanted. Touya's Dukedom ended up prospering, while Katsuyori's mismanagement got his entire house formally disbanded by the empress.
- Royal Brat: He was said to be in his teens when he took over as Lord, and he proceeded to ignore his advisors and live a lavish lifestyle while his people suffered.
Kansuke Yamamoto
Voiced by: Kenjiro Tsuda (Japanese), David Trosko (English), Gerardo Alonso (Latin American Spanish)
- Anti-Climax Boss: An in-universe example. Naturally, considering it was Touya who fought him. While he was able to hold off the Elite Four and Tsubaki with summoned skeletons, Touya was able to simply use Apport to pluck the jewel from Kansuke's eye socket before Leen destroyed it.
- Arc Villain: The Big Bad of the Divine Nation of Eashen arc.
- The Dragon: He was the closest there is to being Shingen's right-hand. Until he betrays him by murdering him to use his own body as means to fight Touya and the Elite Four. In technicality, Kansuke is also his Dragon-in-Chief as he's responsible for starting the war between the Takeda and Tokugawa clans and pretty much the entire Eashen civil war, eclipsing Shingen in terms of threat level.
- Dragon-in-Chief: If anything is to prove about Kansuke's betrayal of his master Shingen, Kansuke is portrayed as The Chessmaster who is extremely cunning and far more of a threat than Shingen himself, being the mastermind who stirred the civil war in Eashen by putting the Tokugawa and Takeda clans in a war against each other, before going through his Evil Plan of destroying it completely with his army of the undead.
- Dragon Their Feet: After murdering his superior, he outlives him and becomes the primary threat to Touya, Yae and the rest of his team.
- Dragon with an Agenda: Aside from being Shingen's Treacherous Advisor, his true plan is to put both the Tokugawa and Takeda families in a bloody war against each other to drive the collapse of Eashen as a nation. And he goes out of his way to murder the Takeda lord and use his corpse.
- Dying as Yourself: It's heavily implied that the residual negative energy contained within the jewel corrupted his soul and influenced him to do all those horrible things. As he dies, Touya hears him utter out a "Thank you..."
- Necromancer: Through the use of the jewel, he raised an army of undead soldiers to take total control of Eashen.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: The jewel protected him from all physical damage, using dark magic to restore his body to its original state. The only way to kill him was to destroy the Eye.
- Power Crystal: The Eye of the Grave was a magic jewel he kept in his own eye socket, protected by an Eye Patch Of Power.
- The Starscream: He betrays his master in order to turn him into a puppeteered corpse as his front man.
- Summon Magic: Has the Darkness attribute, his summons are skeleton warriors.
- Treacherous Advisor: He's implied to have murdered his lord to use his undead body as a proxy with which to rule.
