### Mimia

Mimia is the first Mummy whom Hiroto met and interacted during his first mission at Solum capturing the vampire. Unlike other residents in Hybride, Hiroto doesn't fear Mimia but he finds her cute and beautiful instead which prompts the mummy blushed nervously. Since that day, Mimia becomes Hiroto's one of prominent allies throughout his journey in the new world: from his rise as the Lord of Solum to his various adventures within or outside Hybride, including his rivalries against any enemies. Due to her and Valkyria's pivotal role in his adventures, Hiroto views both of them as the most important people in his life especially with Mimia confessing her own feelings for him since him, despite an outsider from his original world, being the only person doesn't discriminate against her.

### Valkyria

Valkyria is a rouge vampire who once attacks Solum's Mora village. In their first meeting, Hiroto was originally caught by Valkyria during his mission in capturing her-a mission that was requested by Ulkan and Sentelio in order to save Solum from bizarre incidents regarding the vampire's attacks onto Solum, of which resulting the dimming Spirit Light in the church. In the scuffle however, Hiroto is immune to Valkyria's bite and, with the help of Sōichirō and the bandage given by Mimia, he successfully captures her. Still, Hiroto didn't want to kill Valkyria so he negotiated with Ulkan and Sentelio about new policies that frees her instead. Since then, Valkyria visits Hiroto and enjoying teasing him and wants his blood.

Like Mimia, Valkyria also becomes one of many become a pivotal figure to Hiroto's adventures in the new world and also one of his love interest.

### Torlan

Steward of Secondaria who belittled Hiroto due to Solum's practice of following the Ibrid System that houses the populations of Other Species. In their first meeting, albeit a messenger's invitation, Hiroto was asked to have Solum joining the Secondaria Alliance which he rejected. As the result, Hiroto was "punished" by Torlan as the latter sabotaging Solum's chances of improvement, such as expelling Solum students from studying at Secondaria Cathedral. That was until an incident of bandits' (who disguise themselves as the "Mummies") raid onto the cathedral forced Hiroto to save Torlan despite knowing the latter's stubbornness and ungratefulness. Their bad blood worsen when Hiroto helped Darmur-the Lord of Neka and member of Secondaria Alliance-to find and recover a missing Sorceire and then breaking her curse by buying her flowers, which consequently gaining Darmur as his allies. With his increase popularity, Hiroto is viewed as an enemy by Torlan.

Neka's declaration in stopping Secondaria's Development Plan further fuels their bitter rivalry where Torlan purged merchants from Solum and Neka from Secondaria in order to secure Secondaria's Development Project. However, throughout a heated debate against his rival, Hiroto outsmarted Torlan by claiming that what the latter did only endangering Hybride in the future. This feud however doesn't end as Torlan resort of following his master Feuillet's plan to retaliate by framing Solum for the tragedy at Natra and Neka, though the ploy is foiled as Hiroto manages to save both Neka and Natra from their ill fate by not just restore the Spiritual Light at Natra, but also saving Sorceire's life again from the intruders.

### Feuillet

The Lord of Secondaria who return to Secondaria after hearing Torlan's defeat by Hiroto. While never seen the lord in person, Hiroto is warned by Alvy to be vigilant due to Feuillet's extreme cunning. Even after he rescued both Natra and Sorceire, Hiroto's feud with Feuillet still not over as the latter trying to sabotage his rise by any means necessary.

In Volume 4, Hiroto's feud with Feuillet intensifies when the Lord of Secondaria trying to make Solum suffer by

### King Moldius I

The King of Hybride who rule the kingdom with benevolent and just. While Hiroto doesn't meet the king at first, his reputation as the new Governor of Salabria reaches Emperia but he was belittled. It is Moldius's 2nd mistake that almost got Hiroto being assassinated by Phyllis when the Diferente was defamed as the "traitor" due to Phyllis scheme, of which the king fell for it.

### Panopticus

The Prime Minister of Hybride and a member of the Privy Council of Phyllis who once proposed of abolishing of Ibrid System.

### Raquel

### Felkina do Lalente

The Countess of Sigil who antagonizes Hiroto for bringing peace between Hybride and Phyllis due to her hostility against Phyllis as the result of the fall of North Phyllis (her mother was a noble from that country), as well as her father's demise 7 years ago. This rivalry between the 2 however is one-sided for Felkina's belittlement against Hiroto stems from her illustrious background and her haughtiness as a noblewoman.

Despite being spared from execution, Joachim's imprisonment didn't ends Felkina's one-sided grudge against Hiroto despite she rewarded him and the vampires with jewelries. During his feud with Magia in Volume 13, Hiroto tried to contract Felkina with letters but she ignored them all due to her said grudge and its only until the pincer attacks from both Magia and Phyllis, alongside with Belffergo's plot to reduce vampire's prowess, makes her realizes the vampires' significant role to Hybride's defense to (reluctantly and unintentionally) help Hiroto by not only revoking the probation just one day after she "approved" it, she also informs him about the sinister plots of Belffergo and Rasmus. Even after his victory, Felkina refused to acknowledge Hiroto until Moldius pardons her and allowed Joachim to visit her via Hiroto's request, which the king fulfilled it as his reward to the Diferente for his heroic deeds in saving Lusina. This event reconciling Hiroto and Felkina as the latter thanking him for his mercy, making her as Hiroto's new ally from this onwards.

### Bourgault

A nobleman of Noblesia who was feuding with Hiroto over the rape of a mummy by his son Pollard. The execution of Bourgault by the vampires may ended Hiroto's feud with him, but it also makes him as a enemy to some aristocrats (such as the likes of Belffergo and Finnath) who still belittles and scorn the Diferente.

### Belffergo

One of the aristocrats in Hybride who showed his disdain for Hiroto for his feud with both Felkina and Bourgault in the past.

### Finnath

The Finance Minister of Hybride and a member of the Privy Council of Phyllis who loathes Hiroto. Even to this day, Hiroto's rivalry with Finnath is yet to ceased with the latter keep saying sarcasm to mock him

### Leonidas

The Prince of Hybride who is infamous for spending too much time in flirting with women while ignoring Hybride's affairs due to his estranged relationship with his father Moldius. Hiroto's first interaction with Leonidas was during his trip in Regulus Republic for the first time, and it was the news of him defeating Magia Army from invading Hybride garnered the prince's intrigue towards him and the vampires. Unlike most people who scorn Leonidas due to his vices, Hiroto, for his mixed feelings for the prince due to his bizarre antics, as well as his aggressive antagonism against Hybride's enemies, he still views the prince as Hybride's most important instrument to secure is stability-making him as one of few people being Leonidas's few loyal friends and retainer.

In Volume 14, Hiroto met Leonidas 2 times but it was his second visit that stunned him where he heard that the prince wanted to crush those who trying to threaten the kingdom, though he used that experience as a rebuttal against both Urseus and Regulus elves Cognidas and Dialogs during the Four Kingdoms Summit . However, in Volume 16, Hiroto was at odds with Leonidas for the latter's rejection to aid Agnika due he suspected that it used its alliance with Hybride to fix it's own mess; ergo, he had to aid Agnika against Leonidas's order and rescue Lyndrus and Hydran from Metis and Gassel Army, resulting their sour relationship between both men. However, in Volume 17, Hiroto helped Leonidas not only entering the Privy Council as new full-time members, when Moldius passed away from illness, he helped Leonidas to secure his position as the next heir for the vacant crown via a debate against Hydran. From Volume 18 onwards, Hiroto becomes one of Leonidas's few loyal retainers (others being Panopticus, Univestel, Raquel and Felkina) and in order to secure the new king's foundation of kingship, he seeks helps and corperation from the vampires.

### Hydran

The Duke of Hybride who happens to be Moldius's cousin and Leonidas's uncle, making him a member of Hybride Royal Family. He is also one of Hiroto's most dangerous enemies for not only his hostility and pessimism towards him, but also his plot to get oust him from power just to curb his growing influences in Hybride due to his countless accomplishments, including his role in quelling the feud between Agnika and Gassel-something the Duke himself failed. Since that day, both Hiroto and Hydran becomes bitter rivals with the Duke refused to acknowledge.

In Hiroto's case, he views Hydran as one of the most vilest rival he has faced not only because of his snobbish and arrogant attitude as a royalty, but also his length of.

### Shifelis

The Deputy Archbishop of Emperia and Sobrinus's temporary replacement as a member of Hybride Privy Council. Unlike his interactions with other elves, Hiroto's relationship with Shifelis is rather rocky because the elven archbishop who calls him "immoral" while gives him an earful lecture about Spiritual Curse and the Elven Wrath, all because he accidentally gazes at her bust during their first meeting. In fact, she is so hostile towards him that she, along with Hydran and Finnath, voted against him (along with Leonidas) from becoming a full-member of the Privy Council despite that was Moldius's decision to begin with, only to see it failed when Hiroto's debate skill turned the tide and went to his favor instead. This led to Hiroto's conflict with Shifelis when she supported Hydran during the Hydran in order, making her as one of Hiroto's enemy.

## Magia

### Urseus

The King of Magia Kingdom and also Hiroto's arch rival due to his loath for the vampires as well as his cunning. In Volume 13, Hiroto, along with vampires, is viewed by Urseus as a "threat" to Magia due to his increasing influence in the continent, thus reviving a bitter feud between Hybride and Magia. During his feud against Magia, Hiroto finds Urseus as a formidable rival as he discovers the king's cunning plan almost cut him from Emperia entirely, courtesy of the ploy from Nestoria and Zalia. Even so, with his own cunning, Hiroto manages to outsmart both Urseus and his subordinate and rescues Hybride from Magia's invasion.

Volume 14 marks Hiroto's first meeting with Urseus as Hybride's (temporary) chancellor and their rivalry intensifies when the king vows to avenge his loss to Hybride by staging a kangaroo court against Hybride by allying himself former mentors Cognadus and Dialogs, along with his "allegiance" with the Northern Vampires. However despite the overwhelming disadvantages, Hiroto manages to overcome his ordeals by bringing Prince Leonidas up into the debate, resulting Urseus's second defeat in overall. Their rivalry culminates at Volume 15 when Hiroto defeats Urseus again in spite of his scheme with Abrahim via Disgurd's unexpected support but willing to chat both him and Zalia in regards of managing the kingdoms.

### Zalia

An elven prime minister of Magia and Urseus's avid supporter in his quest to crush Hybride by preventing Hiroto and the vampires from interfering his plans. Despite he didn't meet the elf herself, Hiroto viewed her as a worthy opponent due to her plot that almost isolating him from Emperia, though at the same time it piqued her interest about her as he wondered if she was an aloof and serious person to begin with. Nevertheless, he managed to outsmart her by dispatching Sōichiro, Curele and Gezerkia to Emperia on his behalf while he led his allies to rescue Lunisia from the invading Magia Army, which he succeeded. Later, he encountered Zalia and gave her some advice about building relationship between kingdom while ensuring true peace, though this only intensify Hybride's rivalry with Magia as Zalia still viewed him as an enemy.

In Vol.14, they met again during the Four Kingdoms Summit.

Vol. 15 marked the end of their feud where Hiroto defeat both Urseus and Abrahim again during the second Four Kingdoms Summit despite their scheme, which only adding fuel to Zalia's hostility against him. Still, he willing to have a private talk with Zalia and gave her some advise that not only forced Urseus to question his own goal, but also forced her to seek Lagos for help while vacating her position.

### Lisvaon

The princess of Magia who happens to be Urseus's younger sister.

## Agnika

One of the kingdoms from the West that is a traditional ally to Hybride due to a friendship between 2 kings prior to Moldias's reign.

### **Gudrun**

One of Agnika's aristocrats who is not only feuding with the sitting queen Astorica, but also loathes Hiroto. Whilst he doesn't meet her in person, Hiroto is wary with her after Excelis informs him about her hatred against him which further piques his interest about why.

## Vampires

### Zeldis

The vampire who is the father of Valkyria and Curele.

### Slara

A female vampire whom Hiroto encounters during his journey to Secondaria.

### Disgurd

A vampire who leads the Northern Vampire Clan of Magia and one of Hiroto's formr enemies due to her "alliance" with Magia (specifically Urseus) in his quest to defeat Hybride. In his first meeting, Hiroto first witnesses Disgurd and her fellow vampires' harassing Emperia but finds it suspicious due to his knowledge of Urseus's hatred for the vampires and learns some truth about her via Gezerkia. They eventually interact with each other during the Four Kingdoms Summit at Regulus and before the meeting is commenced, Hiroto visits her but remains unfazed by even her own death threats and even teased her own looks by saying that her glare will ages her badly, making him as the first human who is not afraid of the Blue-Winged Vampire. Eventually, his amazing debate and eloquent rebuttal against Urseus and his other conspirators-with Cognidus, Dialogs and Abrahim as his other partners-shocked Disgurd so much that she feels envy for both Zeldis and Gezerkia to have a capable human such as Hiroto.

In Volume 15, Hiroto's relationship with Disgurd slightly improved when she begrudgingly helps him during the Second Four Kingdoms Summit, of which Hiroto won. Still, it doesn't ease Disgurd's distrust for the Diferente as she still deems him untrustworthy even after telling him about Valkyria's late mother. When Discurd eventually turns against Magia after hearing Luluk's vicious beatdown by vengeful Magia soldiers (more specifically, Aden soldier)-a line she would never cross, however, it is Hiroto's care for Luluk opens Disgurd's mind as this displays his genuine his bond with the vampires and causes her to ally herself with Gezerkia and Zeldis to attack Bahram while cutting ties with Urseus for good. Ever since that day, Disgurd and her clan becomes one of Hiroto's new allies.
