## Debut

### Manga

Manga Chapter 17

**Ayité Akemi-Akemi Hyuryuushyo**, usually under the pseudonym of Akemi (アーケミー, *A-kemi-*), is a member of Ofter's party.

She uses the pseudonym *Akemi* presumably to hid her half-elf heritage, which is considered taboo with the elves.

Her pseudonym is one of the rare instances where Haruka remembers/uses a name properly, although he initially called her 全身鎧さん ("Miss Full Armor"), and later on still makes puns about her pseudonym (see "Akemi-Akemi" section below).

She is the first of four Akemis mentioned in the story. Probably because her pseudonym isn't exactly pronounced as アケミ ("Akemi") (or perhaps because Haruka knew Akemi already isn't her real name), she didn't get a lettered nickname from Haruka like the other three Akemis (Akemi A / Akemi B / Akemi C) did.

Supposedly her friends call her Kemi (ケミー, *Kemi-*) or Ami (アミー, *Ami-*), but none of those friends had appeared in the story yet.

## Story

Background
Ayité was from a village near the Elven Forest, from a clan of Half-Elves whose ancestry traces back to a Japanese girl, Akemi (暁美), who was summoned to the Other World over a thousand years ago. Ayité joined the "mercenary band" composed of humans (and half-elves) living near the Elven Forest, as the protector of elves.

Her party, led by Ofter, went to the Frontier as escorts of Iyebgyiek and Guventié. They were on a secrete mission to study how Omui handled the Ultimate Dungeon, for reference in dealing with the Great Dungeon of the Elven Forest.

Crash-in with the Loner
On Day 18, her party took on a quest to deal with a pack of Green Wolves that had been attacking merchants near Omui City. The intel they got from the Adventurers' Guild was that the pack should only have about 6~8 wolves, but they ended up fighting 37, including a level 100 Big Green Wolf, out in the open plains between Omui City and the Demonic Forest. When her party was in serious trouble, Haruka-the-human-missile crashed into the Big Green Wolf, blowing it and the rest of the wolves up.

When she shook Haruka's hand in gratitude, Haruka could feel Class Rep's death stare at him.

The Ultimate Dungeon
When news reached the Omui Adventurers' Guild that Haruka had fallen down a pit in the Ultimate Dungeon, her party began preparations for an expedition down the dungeon for a rescue party. They fought for three days and got all the way got down to the 30th floor, when Haruka returned from the teleportation gate on the 46th floor.

Haruka dropped by the Guild on Day 38 and thanked them, giving them some of the weapon drops from the lower floors of the Ultimate Dungeon as a token of his gratitude.

The Kingdom Civil War
Ayité's party participated in the defense of Murimuri Castle. However, when Haruka brought Erailia back to Omui, her party quietly disappeared.

Haruka figured they didn't want to risk certain party members from being recognized by Erailia. But another reason was that circumstances in the Frontier had changed so much, Ofter went back to the elves recommending them to officially seek help from the Dungeon Killer.

Emissary of the Elves
On Day 139, her party returned to Omui again. They were on official business from the Elf Nation to pronounce Wismreg Zero a rebel and request the extradition of Erailia, while also on a private mission from the Elf King to tell Erailia to run away. The Elven royal family had gathered all the precious metal in their household to give to Erailia as funds for her escape. It was also an excuse for the Elf King to send Iyebgyiek and Guventié away, sensing impending doom in the Elven Forest.

Haruka decided he was going to drop by the Elven Forest, Erailia also wanted to go and help Haruka, and of course the Girls weren't going to let those two go on their own.

> So, who is Miss Akemi anyways? Does she have a complicated relationship with the elves?

On the topic of elves, Haruka finally decided to ask the question that has been bothering him for a while: "Who is Miss Akemi?", referring not to Ayité's pseudonym アーケミー (*A-kemi-*) but rather asking about 暁美 (*Akemi*).

The first time Haruka met Ofter's party on Day 18, Haruka had appraised Ayité's status and saw "暁美" ("Akemi") in her middle name, and had been wondering about it for all this time. Ayité was surprised that Haruka could read those mysterious characters. Haruka explained that in the country he came from, it meant "the beautiful scenery right before dawn". The origin of Ayité's clan's ancient name was passed down as "Darkness will always be dispersed, and the depth of the Darkness is what gives beauty to the Light".

She finally found people that proved the stories of her ancestor were real, and asked the Girls numerous questions about the country her ancestor came from.

## Haruka-made Custom Equipment

On Day 147, Haruka took high resolution measurements of Ayité in order to make personalized dress (armor) in preparation for the Elf Summit. This being her first time, not having any resistance built up, her mind went blank pretty much as soon as the measurements started.

The Elf Summit require participants to be unarmed, and had means to detect any metal. Therefore the dress came with self-defense devices such as battering ram that's 100% made out of wood, obsidian battle axe, ballista made out of stone etc, all hidden inside the skirt.

## "Akemi-Akemi"

Ayité's middle name is Akemi-Akemi (**暁美＝アーケミー**)

The first "Akemi" in her name, **暁美**, is written in Japanese kanji that Other Worlders do not understand and merely see as "mysterious characters". It is the name of her Japanese ancestor Akemi (暁美), and is pronounced like an ordinary Japanese name, passed down verbally in secrete within her clan.

Her pseudonym uses the second "Akemi" in her name, **アーケミー**, which has long vowels in the first and last syllables, and overall feels more like the spelling for "Archemy" or "Ahchemy". It sounds somewhat similar to the common Japanese name Akemi that got "Westernized".

Haruka sometimes call Ayité by her own pseudonym **アーケミーさん** ("Miss A-kemi-"), sometimes Haruka puns her pseudonym into **アケミさん** ("Miss Akemi"), sometimes to distinguish her from other Akemis Haruka adds additional qualifiers:

* 森人のアケミさん - "Miss Akemi of the Forest Folk"
* 暁美さんのアケミさん - "Miss Akemi of Miss Akemi (暁美)"
* 暁美さんとこのアケミさん - "Miss Akemi from Miss Akemi (暁美)'s place"

## Difference in localization

* In the Japanese version, Haruka noted that as opposed to the Western-styled name アーケミー, "if it were Miss **アケミ** (the common Japanese name pronunciation), that feels like she would be working at a little pub, I wanna go."
* In the English version, Haruka directly narrated that Akemi worked at a little pub, without distinction of the Western-style name of the character and the typical Japanese name.
