## Characters
### Akari (朱里)

    A high school girl who was summoned to another world, due to her desire to be a mother. Her relationship with Gran starts out poorly, but they start to understand each other through missing their parents. Most of her children were born unnaturally due magical conception. Akari lacks any magical powers, having to rely on her negotiation skills and children.
    Akari essentially has her life fast forwarded by the events of the story, skipping out on her remaining carefree adolescence and straight to motherhood. Despite this, Akari is loving mother to her children.

### Gran (グラン, Guran)

    The current Demon Lord, succeeding his captured mother and missing father; his father was human, also from Akari's world. Due to being forced to mature as a leader early, Gran grew up with diminished empathy. Having Akari teach him about parenting helps Gran soften and focus more on giving his children a happy life.

### The Children

The Children of prophecy are each born with a great skill that can cause destruction. However, it is an exaggeration; their given skills are more about helping others and only a danger if someone corrupts the children. With the exception of the triplets, none of the children were conceived naturally, while the rest were created magically; they are all born of eggs that pop out of Akari via the magic way. Three of them were accidents due to the magic bway. Akari names them all after French numbers.

#### An

    The first daughter. She has the skill to be a great cook and can make delicious, nutritional meals.

#### Deux

    The first son. He has the skill to master any tool. Rather than weapons, Deux works to help produce better harvesting and building tools. He was born by accident due to Akari and Gran sharing a special cookie meant by one of the hero's female companions to trap him with a baby.

To forget her pain, Ciel created the fake Celestial race and prophecy, in order to feed endless on the misery she caused.
