* Anime
* Light Novel
* Manga

**Renji** (レンジ, *Renji*) is a Warrior and leader of his own party.

## Appearance

* Tall
* Silver hair
* Husky voice
* Muscular build

## Personality

Renji has shown a strange interest in combat on a repeated basis. When first introduced, he grabbed Britney's knife bare handed, started a fight with Ron so make him his second in command, and showed excitement at fighting an Orc during the Orc raid in book 3. However, he shows a notable generosity, as he accepted Sassa into his team despite her then apparent lack of ability, and was going to give a gold coin to Haruhiro's Party after Manato's death.

## Plot

Renji and his team were brought to Grimgar at the same time as Haruhiro's party. He formed his team and left. There is very little interaction between Haruhiro and Renji's team other than being noted that Renji's team is doing extremely well, and are seen in expensive garb. When Manato dies, Renji gives the team a gold coin, which Haruhiro refuses. Later, during an Orc attack on Alterna, Haruhiro sees Renji fight the Orc leader and win. Haruhiro comes to the aid of Renjis party during the Twin-Headed Snake operation. After the Twin-Headed Snake Operation, Renji tries to recruit Ranta into his party saying that he could properly use him.

## Trivia

* In the School Serie of bonus short stories (which likely isn't canon) Renji is called "Tanaka Renji" (田中練士)

* Japanese
* English

***level. 14+ Things Cannot Remain the Same*** (相変わらずではいられない, *Aikawarazu de wa irarenai*) is the continuation of volume 14. Despite being the 'fifteenth' volume of the ***Hai to Gensō no Grimgar*** light novel series, it is not volume fifteen. That volume is made up of 3 short-stories which were originally released with a DVD set and one new story following Ranta's adventure at around the same time as the event of Level. 14.

For the English print release, Seven Sea chose to combine Level. 14+ and 14++ into one volume called Level. 14.5, which uses Level.14+'s cover for the front cover and 14++'s for the back cover.

## Synopsis

'***That man' who does not bend his own convictions has come back――. Four bonus rewritten episodes are included inside.***

During the time Haruhiro and his team strayed into the unknown world of Parano, something thunderous was about to happen in the world of Grimgar. Entering back to the now turbulent world, he hides his face by wearing a mask and aims to go back alone towards Alterna.

*"Should I just follow my own heart...? If I can, then everything'll be fine."*

A newly written episode depicting Ranta's struggles during his journey, *Masked Humanity*. As well, the thoughts of the volunteer solider trainee Manato who died in the midst of his ambitions, *Just Please, Only a Little Bit More*; Shihoru's and Yume's interactions with their instructors in their respective guilds, *Today is 'Good Night'*. These four extra episodic stories will be based from the bonus novels from the anime television series!

Warriors' Guild

A warrior is a profession that focuses on wielding heavy armor and weaponry. Their job is to be the front line tank that faces enemies head on with strength and fury. They are considered one of two classes that no party can be without.

Warriors require very expensive armor and equipment and many parities pool their money to equip their Warriors. Due to the high cost of high end equipment, it is also typical for parties to salvage armor piece meal from downed enemies and slowly build a full suit of armor.

The team gets up to leave, and Haruhiro notices a goblin in the distance readying an arrow. He pushes Manato out of the way, and the arrow strikes him in the shoulder. The goblin shoots another arrow and it hits Haruhiro in the leg. While Manato brings Haruhiro to cover and heals his wounds, more goblins show up. Ranta attacks a huge goblin with a club, locking weapons. Haruhiro throws his dagger, which lodges in the big goblin's neck. Everyone begins to retreat, and just as they get out of harm's way, Manato is shot by the archer.

Manato hides it until they get to the forest. As Manato dies, he tries to tell Haruhiro that he needs to-. (he dies, so we never hear what he had to say.)

One day, while exploring, they find a "hole" they've never seen before. A hole that, as far as they know... wasn't there when they passed through the area three days earlier. It may lead to a new and unexplored area, which would be highly profitable for them if they are the first to set foot in it.

mado o tataku ame no oto ga

'naite mo ī yo' sō itteru ki ga shita

hikaru namida

me o tojireba utsuru egao

mimi no oku nokotta watashi no namae

yobu koe wa setsunaku hibiku

tsutaeru koto sura deki nakatta

watashi no okubyō na kokoro

tada hitotsu dake kami-sama,

dōka nanigenai hibi wo kudasai to

todokanai kono omoi ga

okizari ni natte toki wa sugite iku no

tada hitotsu dake kami-sama,

dōka nanigenai hibi wo kudasai to

sayonara o kono omoi ni

tsugerareta no nara kimi o wasureru no ni

窓を叩く　雨の音が

「泣いてもいいよ」　そう言ってる気がした

光る涙

瞳を閉じれば　映る笑顔

耳の奥残った　私の名前

呼ぶ声は　切なく響く

伝えることすら出来なかった

私の臆病な心

ただ一つだけ神様、

どうか何気ない　日々を下さいと

届かないこの想いが

置き去りになって　時は過ぎていくの

ただ一つだけ神様、

どうか何気ない　日々を下さいと

サヨナラをこの想いに

告げられたのなら　君を忘れるのに

The sound of rain hitting my window

Seems to be saying "It's okay to cry..."

As my tears begin to glisten...

When I close my eyes your smile is projected upon the darkness

And your voice calling out my name

Is left painfully ringing in the depths of my ears...

My heart was so cowardly

I couldn't even tell you how I feel...

Please God, if you could give me just one thing

Return to me that simple, everyday life...

Will these feelings, never reaching their destination

Be abandoned, as time passes on?

Please God, if you could give me just one thing

Return to me that simple, everyday life...

If I could just say goodbye to these feelings

I could finally forget you
Episode 2: Long Day of the Trainee Volunteer Soldier

## **Long Day of the Trainee Volunteer Soldier**

**Long Day of the Trainee Volunteer Soldier** is the 2nd episode of *Hai to Gensō no Grimgar* anime adaptation. It first aired January 18, 2016.

## Plot

Haruhiro and his friends decide to become Trainee Volunteer Soldiers in earnest but struggle to survive as they are untrained and have yet to fully adopt the kill or be killed attitude of the other parties.

## Characters In Order of Appearance

* Haruhiro
* Manato
* Moguzo
* Ranta
* Yume
* Shihoru
Human

## Biology

Humans in Grimgar are much like (if not the same) as Humans from our world, the main difference is that they're closely biologically related to most humanoid races in grimgar, they can interbreed with orcs, elves and dwarves at the minimum, as has been shown through Jessie Land and Jessie Smiths explanation on their offspring.

Humans are physically superior to most goblins but inferior to Orcs, mentally there seems to be little difference in their capabilities.

## Culture

Human culture isn't touched upon much, as much of the story is seen through the eyes of a group of less than able outsiders who spend much of their time out on missions, and away from town. Still, human society is ruled by a king and his nobility. The use gold, silver, and copper coins as a trade medium, and worship various gods, usually in exchange for power. They are considered powerful and aggressive, having once ruled the entirety of Grimgar's known world prior to the No-Life King, and during the events of the story are seeking to reclaim that rulership. Humans are apparently somewhat xenophobic, tolerant of foreign humans, and human-like races such as dwarves and elves, but not of Orcs, Goblins, Kobolds, or other less human like races. Humans are likely also the most organized, as part of the No-Life King's assault started with establishing structure to the different races that they didn't have before.

## History

Humans previously dominated Grimgar but were defeated by the No-life king who united orcs, undead, goblins etc together to overthrow their oppressors, the no-life king implemented important fundamental structure to the different races, giving them much needed leadership and hierarchy. The other races rising up was due to the mistreatment humans had given them in the past seeing them as inferior beings, even though we have seen that most of these races having the same capabilities as Humans if not better. This led to humans fleeing to beyond the tenryu mountains in the south, called the Arabakia Kingdom.

Beyond the Mountains is referred to as the "frontier" where most of the story takes place, Humans used to live in the kingdoms of Arabakia, Ishmal, and Nananka (which resided in the frontier) before the No-Life King destroyed the Ismahl and Nananka kingdoms.
Elf

Elves are a race that live in the **Shadow Forest** (影森, *Kagemori*). They have an alliance with the Frontier Army that secures the sole fortified stronghold in the frontier.

Elves live to be around 250 years old. They age normally like humans until they are 20 and then the aging process slows down. The capital city is called **Alnortuu** (アルノートゥ, *Arunōtu*).

Elf fertility is at a low so each new birth is treasured. They seem to worship a goddess called **Laflorte** (ラフロルテ, *Rafurorute*). Elves are very vain and only value beauty.

## The 18 Great Families

There are 18 Great Families with three schools or guilds: **Seven Swords, Six Spells, and Five Bows** (七剣, 六呪, 五弓, *Nanaken, Rokushu, Gokyū*). Elf children learn from all three schools until they find which school they are best at. Those good with swords become **Sword Dancers** (剣舞師, *Ken Bushi*), those good with spells become **Shamans** (呪医, *Jui*), and those good with bows become **Archers** (弓使い, *Yumizukai*). The 18 families were formed from the 18 heroes that helped save the Shadow Forest in the past.

### House Shutlalm

**House Shutlalm** (シュトラルム家, *Shutorarumu-ka*): a Sword Dancer family. One of the famed Seven Swords.

* Lilia Shutlalm.

### House Melcurian

**House Melcurian** (メルキュリアン家, *Merukyurian-ka*): a Sword Dancer family.

* Mililyu (ミリリュ, *Miriryu*).

### House Landurowal

**House Landurowal** (ランドゥロワル家, *Shutorarumu-ka*): a Shaman family. One of the famed Six Spells.

* Bentowan (ベントワン) is the current lord.

* Arollyah (アローリャ, Arōrya) the eldest child. Wezel wife. She was supposed to succeed House Landurowal but left due to the immense burden as heiress to the noble family.

* Aryalleah (アリャレア, aryarea) is second child of family. Is now heiress.
Kemuri

**Kemuri** (ケムリ, *Kemuri*) is a Paladin of Soma's party and member of the Day Breakers clan.

**Ginzy** (ギンジー, *Ginjī*) is a member of the K&K Pirate Company (K&K海賊商会, *kaizoku shōkai*). He is of the Sahagin race of fish.

He is a character of the *Dai Eiyū* series, which happens to be a *Grimgar* spin-off also written by Ao Jūmonji.

## Appearance

His Sahagin race gives him an appearance of a half-fish, half-human appearance.

## Personality

He is described as 'annoying' (ウザ, *uza*) by Haruhiro. Ginzy is hated by his crew. Described as having no manners, charm, or personal virtue.

## Relationships

### Kisaragi

Best friends with the leader of K&K Pirate Company. May have been the reason, Ginzy became a captain of a ship.

## Quotes

* *"Miss Momohinaa! It's me; it's me! It's me, Ginzy! I've come to pick you up! Miiiss Momohiiinnaa, can you heaar mee?! Even though I've come to pick you uupp?!!"*

## Trivia

* He may be inspired by Katari, a character from Ao Jūmonji's first light novel series, *Bara no Maria*. Unlike Ginzy, Katari is human but sometimes has the look of a half-fish. They are both said to be 'annoying' (ウザ, *uza*) by the protagonists of their respective novel series.
