## Family

### Sheila Grandsley

The person who rescued Lay when his parents abandoned him and left him to die. She raised him as her own child, so Lay considers her his real mother. Because Sheila was ill from spiritosis, Lay was forced to serve the Royalists in return for her treatment. He wound up pushing Anos and Misa away for her sake, but the two never gave up on him.

During the final fight against Melheis Boran, Sheila encouraged Lay to fight again as she used the last of her strength to return to her sword form. Together, they slashed through Melheis' dimensions and *Beno Ievun* to save Anos. After she vanished, Lay apologized to her with tears in his eyes for being unable to save her. However, Anos managed to revive her after Melheis' defeat, so Lay tightly hugged her.

## Demon King Academy

### Anos Voldigoad

Anos is Lay's closest friend, and the two immediately got along after Lay transferred to the academy. At first, Anos thought that it was because Lay resembled his right-hand man, Shin Reglia, but he eventually discovers that Lay is the reincarnated Hero Kanon, fulfilling their promise of becoming friends in the future. Despite having someone he loved, Lay was willing to give up his life to atone for humanity's mistakes and save Anos.

He told his mother that he was happy to have lost to Anos, as there was finally someone who could outmatch him, and he could finally go all out against him without having to hold back anything.

### Misa Iliorogue

Despite his countless lives, Misa is the only one he truly ever loved. Lay fell in love with her after seeing her determination, as she was willing to save the dying Sheila even at the expense of her own life. The two became very close after that, and Lay eventually bought Misa a one-shell necklace from Azesion, something that was used a long time ago for a marriage proposal. He later confessed his love to Misa, taking one-half of the shelled necklace before the second war between humans and demons, as it was a popular legend among soldiers so they could reunite with their loved ones in the afterlife.

Despite his grand plan to sacrifice himself as Avos Dilhevia, Misa never thought badly of him and simply welcomed him back with love after he and Anos dealt with the deranged magic of Jerga. Though she was upset that Lay kept it secret from her, as she wanted to fight with him. As they continued talking, the two reaffirmed their love for each other and kissed.

### Sasha Necron

Lay seems to enjoy teasing Sasha. When Sasha complained that Lay only thought about swords, Lay replied that Sasha only thought about the Demon King. Sasha got flustered, but before she could respond, Lay quickly defused the situation by saying that it was normal for students in the Demon King Academy to think about the Demon King. On another occasion, when Sasha brought up that Misa and Lay were flirting a lot recently, Lay told her to do with Anos if she was jealous.

### Misha Necron

They seem to be good friends, but otherwise, they do not interact with each other that much. The only time they interacted was during a sparring match against Anos before they went to Gairadite, as she created a replacement sword for him during their training against Anos.
