## Appearance

He usually wears a white outfit which consists of a black tunic under white leather armor, and white pants with a pair of shoes. Around his shoulders, he wears a cape and hoddie made of some hide with an animal head on his left shoulder. On his back, he attached a quiver and carries a custom-made reindeer bow. Around his waist, he attaches his dagger.

## Personality

Kikuru has shown a calm and collected demeanor even during life-threatening situations. He is a sharp strategist and observer who lives upon the name of "Ace" of Mebuki. He has shown a lot of self-control during the battle but this all starts to fall out whenever the girls get into some erotic accidents. He is a virgin with no love affair. He has quickly become immune to the sight of women being humiliated by monsters and is not so easily offended. However, he has no tolerance for romantic conversation or physical contact and is extremely upset by it. Because of this, he doesn't know how to treat girls, as such when he bluntly says he is not interested in small girls like Maidena Ange.

## Relationships

### Hitamuki Kyan

Kikuru's first party member. Though he is annoyed by her dimwittedness and tendency to get caught by perverted monsters, Kikuru grows to care about Hitamuki as a partner on the field and friend. Hitamuki looks up to Kikuru and hopes to be of help to him.

### Tokishikko Dana

Tokishikko draws the most ire from Kikuru because of her laziness and sarcasm. After the incident with the Named poison spider, the distance between them has closed, but they still bicker from time to time.

### Meidena Angers

Due to her dislike of men, Meidena was the most resistant to working under Kikuru, often getting angry at him or complaining about training, but over time she came to depend on him. Despite of her actions, she thanked Kikuru for saving her life from a Megaslime.

### Hanabata Nohkins

Kikuru sees Hanabata as the most dependable of the party, but he's constantly on edge around her due to past experience with Flower Frenzy. He initially kept Hanabata's drunk personality a secret from until he decided it was time to come clean. He is oblivious to Hanabata's romantic feelings for him, although he does show appreciation for her assets.

### Noma Rune

Even after learning Noma is really a boy, Kikuru has mixed feelings for him. While he treats Noma as friend, Kikuru has a difficult time facing reality. Noma admires Kikuru and appoints himself as Kikuru's apprentice to become manlier.

### Enome North

Of all the girls, Kikuru seems to show the attraction to Enome. He'll sometimes get jealous of the monsters molesting her. Because of her position as the guild's receptionist, he is highly respectful to her, and she cares a lot about his well-being. Whether she has romantic interest in him remains to be seen.

### Esyne North

He initially assumed Esyne had a crush on him, but when she told him point blank that wasn't the case, he was understandably heartbroken. What she really wanted was for Kikuru to marry her mother, Enome. After seeing them in a comprising position, Esyne started calling Kikuru, "Papa".

## Trivia

* Due to the rejection he suffered from Enome and the misunderstanding with Esyne, Kikuru became extremely dense when it came to romance, dismissing any show of romantic affection from other girls as simple signs of respect or admiration for his work.
* He greatly resembles the minor character "Hughes" from the manga/anime series **Fairy Tail**. With the only visible difference being a slightly different hair color.
* Kikuru loves to eat Grinham.
