Grima

"*Whether I belong to the light or to the darkness, I'll keep fighting for peace. No matter how much are against me and no matter if no one wishes to trust me...*"

— Grima

**Grima**, whose real name is **Naruki Chikage**, is a Japanese citizen who was living abroad in England. After dying in an accident where a house crumbled and fell atop of him and some other victims, Naruki was reincarnated into the Fantasy World in the same manner as Kazuma and Mitsurugi, being reincarnated by Eris instead of Aqua.

While being regarded as a skilled magician among Belzerg's adventurers and warriors, both his class as a Summoner and his partner Ishnir make people shun him and believe that he's working alongside the Demon King. However, he fights to protect the people from the Demon King's forces and, while he personally doesn't aim to kill the Demon King, wishes to help the others in the task of slaying it.

He joins Satou Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness in order to help them with their quest, but leaves them because of the rumors generating around them regarding their relationship as a team.

## Appearance

### Physical Appearance

Grima has white long hair, styled in a ponytail. His eyes were originally black but changed colors due to the powers originating from his weapons and summons. Now, his left eye is purple and his right eye is yellow, showing that he has heterochromia now. His skin is white but it's almost pale.

### Clothing

Grima wears a black long sleeve shirt with a white vest on top of it. He also wears a noble black coat which isn't very long and helps him with movement as well. Grima wears black leather pants and wears high ankle black boots. He wears black gloves but the hands' palms are blue colored. He wears a black leather belt around his waist with a pendant attached to it, holding a purple orb with a mysterious insignia imprinted on it.

## Personality

Before becoming an adventurer at the Fantasy World, Naruki was very social with other people. However, one of his main problems was that he tried too much to adapt to his group of friends while eventually forgetting to be himself. This led to situations where people abused his kindness and treated him like a slave. Because Naruki feared loneliness, he coped with his emotions and went along, becoming more puppet-like as time passed on. This was initially shown when Naruki began adventuring under his own name, where he desperately tried to help every other warrior, being abused all over again.

After fending off a berserk Ishnir from Axel and making a contract with him, Naruki gave himself the alias of Grima gave form to a new personality where he wouldn't let people abuse of his kindness, and would promptly make sure that he won't be treated as a servant anymore. This alias brought his purposes to fruition, but also made people began to fear him because his powers became cursed thanks to the contract. As people began to associate him with the Demon King, Grima had to forcefully accept that he was now going to be alone and hated because of his choices.

Despite that, Grima didn't become coldhearted. Thanks to Ishnir's very own influence, Grima continued to be joyful and social with others. He had more control over his emotions and had to learn (by force) to accept whatever comments people made of him so that he wouldn't go insane or depressive. This is also contributed by the fact that Ishnir gets furious in his stead whenever people begin to badmouth Grima.

During the time where Grima stood with Kazuma and the others, it was revealed that he's pretty innocent and believes in a lot of things that were told to him, true or not. This was a useful perk for both Kazuma and Aqua to take advantage of him and make him do menial work in their stead. This also led Darkness to use Grima to satisfy her masochistic desires by being his "training doll". Megumin was the only one who didn't take advantage of Grima's innocence harshly, although she wanted to convince him to abandon all the spells he learned to become her Explosion apprentice.

## Abilities & Skills

As a Summoner, Grima's specialty is to wield magic like the Wizard and/or Priest classes. He has the ability to wield different types of magic depending on the beast he summons, so for him to dominate various types, he must forge contracts with beasts in order to summon them.
