He vanished along with Charlie of the Thousand Morphing Blade, though letters occasionally arrive at Belia’s doorstep.

A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Irene

Affiliation: War Demon Empire

Alias: Invincible Sprout

Adolf

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Young Silver Lion

Status: Immortal

Background: After the war against Devil King Lucifer, Adolf took on numerous tasks at Silver Corporation, often cleaning up the messes left by Bruce and Betty’s haphazard work. Amidst the chaotic workload, he accepted the role of gatekeeper at the rear gate of the Devil King’s Castle, offered by Haruhana. Though he dedicates himself to the role with utmost loyalty, he often laments that most of his time is spent tracking down, capturing, and reporting the Devil King who has recently taken to fleeing his duties. (Really, sorry about that, Adolf.)

Many are moved by his earnestness, and he is known as the unsung hero of Silver Corporation, earning the nickname “Young Silver Lion,” a playful twist on Blazer’s title, “Silver Lion.” A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Itsuki

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Her book, The Principles of Itsuki, became a massive bestseller, and everything she touched turned to gold. Mastering sales, marketing, and distribution, she earned the title “Economic Enigma.” Despite having more students than even the Devil King, and a schedule that should be impossible to manage, she somehow always found time to sit at the counter of Pochisley Agency. Frankly, she remained an even greater mystery than Devil King Lucifer himself. A friend of the Grand Philosopher.

Idéa

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Silver Ogre

Status: Immortal

Background: After moving to the Holy Demon Kingdom, Idéa bore triplets with her husband, Midors. To protect her children, she erected Boundary magecraft around them, keeping all threats at bay.

Weldhun

Affiliation: Holy Demon Kingdom

Alias: Red Meat

Status: Unknown

Background: As a reward for his valor in the war against Devil King Lucifer, Weldhun’s master, Lylia, bestowed upon him the name “Red Meat,” which he vehemently rejected.

When countless monsters hidden in the Regalia Ravine emerged during the capital’s reconstruction, Hornel single-handedly defeated them, earning the title “Hero of the Empire.” Though he was a man of few words, he once said his unwavering dedication stemmed from “a back worth following.” Who that might be, however, remained a mystery.
