Plot
Hiraku dies purely by accident due to a God not giving him good luck, so he reincarnated him in another world as an apology; even turning a holy artifact into a multi-purpose tool for him. This new life for Hiraku ends up becoming quite odd, slowly building a community and village of differing species; with him serving as their mayor.

She is sent by her father, the Demon General Bizel (voiced by Yōji Ueda), to spy on the village's "military might".She ends up staying much longer after seeing what it really is and what its human mayor is capable of doing; seeing Hiraku means no harm and the village is peaceful.
