Eterna informs Gadhio that she is leaving the party first. Gadhio is fine with it since it is her choice. He also reflects on Flum's apparent decision to leave the party.

Flum thinks about the lessons Gadhio taught her and applies it to fighting the Chimera.

### Flum's House

He gets along well with all the members of Flum's House. They all consider him to be reliable and a welcome guest.

**Flum Apricot**

Similar to Eterna, he was one of the only members of the Hero's Party to consistently treat her well. Flum had a hard time believing Gadhio would betray her despite Jean's lies. Ultimately, she did believe his lies because Jean convinced her that she was too much of a burden on Gadhio. Despite believing Gadhio betrayed her, she still had a relatively positive opinion of Gadhio and took the lessons he taught her about swordplay and equipment, especially cursed equipment, to heart.

Flum was relieved to learn from Eterna that Gadhio had no knowledge of Jean's plans to sell her into slavery. They were further taken care of when Flum and Gadhio would reunite in the following episode, and she told him her story after their current predicament settled.

**Milkit**

While he does not interact with Millkit much, he does treat her well, and he does not look down at her for her former slave status. She offered to make him lunch when he took a break from training Flum. He only turns her down due to thinking he should meet up with Hallom. He can also see that Milkit means a lot to Flum.

**Eterna Rinebow**

**Ink Wreathcraft**

He didn't hesitate to take part in trying to save her life despite only meeting her a few minutes earlier.

**Sara Anvilen**

While they have not interacted on screen, he was there when she was nearly killed by Ink's eyes. He was entrusted with information regarding her whereabouts that he would relay to Flum.

### West District Guild

**Y'lla Jerishin**

Gadhio does not have a favorable impression of Y'lla due to her giving Flum an assignment that was much higher than what should've been given to a F-Ranked adventurer that was going on a trail run. He immediately considered firing her on the spot. He only decided not to based on Flum's recommendation of cutting her salary due to Flum believing that Y'lla might be capable of changing for the better.

Following Gadhio's return to the guild, Y'lla has shown to be willing to take her job somewhat more seriously.

**Slowe Uradnehs**

Gadhio was willing to protect Slowe from an attack on the guild prior to knowing Slowe's true identity.

### Hero's Party

Gadhio traveled along with the other members of the Hero Party for a period of time. His friendly natured allowed him to get along with a majority of the group, he never felt the compelled to remain part of it, especially after Flum and Eterna were no longer members of the group which resulted in him putting his resignation as well.

Linus Radiant

Aside from Flum and Eterna, Linus appeared to be the one Gadhio had gotten along the most with.

### Enemies

#### Dein Phineas

While the two never directly interacted, he did become aware of all the damage Dein did in his absence. Following Dein's death after the Origin Eyes incident, Gadhio decided to take his role as the Guild Master of the West District more seriously.
