Aigis

**Aigis** (アイギス) is a sacred treasure in the form of a magical set of talking armour, which was originally given as a cheat item to one of the people who reincarnated from Japan.

## Appearance

Aigis is a tall set of silvery white metal armour with no visible joints, though upon closer inspection he is covered in scratches. It is hollow inside, but from a distance it's often mistaken for an armoured knight. Kazuma had noted that Aigis' appearance alone conveys strength and durability.

## Personality

Aigis is very fond of women, and refuses to be worn by men. It frequently tries to trick women into wearing it, and when they accept it tries to convince them to wear it without any other clothes as well as profess their love to him. It's also very demanding about the women who can wear it, and refused being worn by Chris because of her tomboyish appearance.

Aigis is aware and proud of its incredible durability, and it often says inappropriate things because it knows he can't be harmed. However, he can feel pain, so he doesn't like defensive style fighters (and would prefer not to fight at all).

## History

Aigis was worn by a Japanese swordsman years ago and served him faithfully until the swordsman died of illness, following which it continually looked for a suitable master.

Eventually it came into the hands of the noble named Undyne, a collector of strange treasure who presumably acquired Aigis through illegal methods, where it was kept chained in a treasure room. Chris and Kazuma later came to free it so it could be used against the Devil King's Army, yet it refused to help and afterwards ran off. It was later captured by Kazuma during the Eris Festival beauty pageant, before assisting Eris in her escape.

To his dismay, Aigis was given to Mitsurugi Kyouya, who frequently reprimanded Aigis for hitting on Cremea and Fio. Aigis thus ran away to the Crimson Demon Village, allegedly to make Mitsurugi prove his worthiness against the monsters in the forest, though in truth it went there because it heard that Crimson Demon women are very attractive. It spent its stay in the village at Bar Succubus Lingerie which was run by Nerimaki's family, and later helped Yunyun complete the final trial to become chieftain, despite enraging Hiropon later on with its sexual harassment of her.

It eventually made his way to the capital, where it helped Iris against the forces of the Devil King's Daughter.
