Mayuri/Relationships

## **Black Crown**

### **Amber Lucifer**

At first, Mayuri was hesitant in assisting Amber due to finding her to be irritable and bossy. However, as time went on, Mayuri began to respect her will to restore Black Crown and take on more serious issues. Because of this, she became increasingly helpful and friendly, especially after Lance and Kristina joined.

### **Zane Euphoria**

Seeing him as a troublemaker and helpless, Mayuri taunted Zane and refused to help him, denying him access to the Grand Library to find information on the archangels and their whereabouts. Even after being asked by Amber to help, Mayuri denied because she didn't want to assist Zane in any way at all. At the end of Book 1, she tells him that he did a good job fighting in the battle against the Alliance, and that he should get some much needed rest. In Book 2, she helps Zane calculate Felix's movements and gives him advice on how to handle him. When asked about the sudden change in heart by Lance, Mayuri states that Zane has improved himself and that she just felt like helping him now. In Book 4, Mayuri is shown to be concerned about Zane's injuries after the fight with Ivior, constantly running medical scans on him to ensure his safety. In Book 6, Mayuri uses historical and logical data to conclude that having Zane to return to the guild would be a good idea after hearing his story. At the end, she is happy to see him return. By the end of the series, Mayuri states that she is sad to see him gone, and that she'll always incorporate what she learned from him into her data.

### **Lance Hecate**

Noted as the one who speaks the most to Mayuri, Lance sees her as more of a person than an AI, and so the two are fairly close. It is because of Lance joining the guild that Mayuri started to become helpful, and she often helps him in his scientific experiments. He is also one of the only three members of the guild who wear the wristband that she can be downloaded to.

### **Mio Tsukomi**

Initially, Mio was interested in the idea of a sentient AI as she had only see the concept in anime before. Because of this, Mayuri felt appreciated by her and so the two bonded over time, with Mio becoming the third member to wear a wristband so that they could communicate. When questioned by Zane, Mayuri states that she likes Mio because she's always trying to have fun, and so she often partakes in her schemes. It is also shown that Mayuri often helps Mio with her training by analyzing other Dragon-Slayers and their fights.

### **Kieron Bernard**

Due to his naivety at times, Mayuri often pulls pranks on Kieron with the help of Mio. While softening finding himself a victim at her cruel pranks, Kieron isn't bothered as he appreciates her ethic of trying to have fun similar to Mio. Mayuri also states that she finds Kieron funny, and that she's always willing to help him when it comes to taking on missions.

### **Hailey Luna**

Though Amber doesn't allow her to officially join the guild, Mayuri recognizes Hailey as a member and thus speaks to her as she would to the others. Similar to with Kieron, Mayuri likes to tease Hailey, however she is much more lenient with her as the two become good friends over time.

### **Byakuya Dierenji**

After joining the guild, Byakuya insults Mayuri by pointing out that she isn't real and that she's just an AI, which hurts her feelings and causes her to shutdown for some time until Mio convincers her to power on again. Whenever he is present, Mayuri is often quieter than usual and speaks in a low tone of voice, indicating that she feels threatened by him.
