Shiran

**Shiran** is the division chief of the subordinate superpower countries of the First Foreign Affairs Department of the Parpaldia Empire and is a subordinate of First Foreign Affairs Director Elt and deputy director Hans.

## Appearance

In the manga version, Shiran is depicted as a young man with neat-looking straight hair, but he acts more mature with a neutral expression on his face. His outfit resembles a sort of uniform 18th century frock coat with epaulets.

## Personality

Although he was in charge of the subordinate powers, it is believed that he was in charge of the Emor Kingdom and Leifor, since the Parpaldia Empire is included in the subordinate powers. If he could conduct diplomacy with Emor, he may have been a very talented person.

However, his character is unknown because he does not appear in any other scenes.

## Chronology

### Pre-Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

Shiran first appeared in the First Foreign Affairs Department with First Foreign Affairs Director Elt and deputy director Hans when Remille summoned Kaios, the director of the Third Foreign Affairs Department, to insult him for his treatment of Japan and extort diplomatic rights from him. However, Shiran might be among those who smiled dismissively at Kaios, whose numerous appearances in the scene where Kaios was insulted by Remille undermined.

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

After losing the Altaras Kingdom in the Battle of Altaras Kingdom, at Remille's estate, a maid notified Remille of the emergency alert ringing from the First Department. Remille heard Hans’ voice through the receiver of the manacomm to request her urgently to come to the First Foreign Affairs Department, giving her displeasure and worry. Arriving at the First Foreign Affairs Department, Hans took her to the department chair’s office and opened the door to the office. They found Elt and several other officials, who were paled, sitting around a table. Remille started turning shocked and angry when she read the document titled Report on the Loss of Altaras. Elt explained to Remille the document that Japan attacked and wiped out the Imperial Army and Navy in Altaras in less than an hour and the Altarans rose in revolt, turning the colonial government to surrender and proclaiming the reestablishment of an independent Altaras Kingdom. Remille was furious to see how the empire could continually lose to barbarians as she lashed out at all officials. However, she stated the reports from the Parpaldian soldiers that Japan used the flying machine to attack them, which they believed only Mu and the Holy Milishial Empire could make flying machines in the world. Since the Parpaldia Empire had confirmed Mu’s involvement with Japan's military, Remille angrily summoned Mu ambassador Mugei. Elt exchanged looks with section chief Shiran sitting next to Hans, her eyes telling him to do as Remille said. Shiran left the room and visited the Mu embassy in Parpaldia Empire to request Mugei come to a meeting.

Later, Shiran might have been present at the conference room with Remille, Elt, Hans, and several other officials in the First Foreign Affairs Department, where Remille was questioning Mu Ambassador Mugei for exporting Mu weapons to Japan. However, Mugei denied his own involvement and explained Japan's true power to them. He showed them the produced pictures of Japan’s mechanical aerial fighter, buildings taller and glorious looking city landscapes, making Elt's eyes wide open in shock and already causing Hans and Shiran to sweat anxiety. Mugei was shocked to see the pale and worried expressions on their faces as he assured them that Japan's national power and technological strength transcend Mu and that he judged Japan's strength to be more powerful than the Holy Milishial Empire. He stated that the government of Mu had an obligation to protect its citizens, ordering Mu people to evacuate from the Parpaldia Empire before turning to be exterminated on the Esthirant.

After Mugei left the conference room behind Remille and the First Foreign Affairs Department personnel, including Elt, Hans, and Shiran, stunned and speechless, they made a grave mistake from the beginning without actually investigating and analyzing Japan’s capabilities.

After this, he had no further appearances, and his treatment after the reorganization of the first foreign affairs department after the defeat in the war was unknown.
