Inexplicably dropped into a vast new world, the trio is greeted by Kurousagi, who explains that they have been given a once-in-a-lifetime chance to participate in special high-stakes games using their abilities. In order to take part, however, they must first join a community.

The main character of this work. A 17-year-old boy who is one of the problem children invited to the world of Little Garden since the 2000s. His maiden name was Saigo. His parent is the creator of the third perpetual motion machine, the nanomachine "Third Class Astral Particle Body", and Homura Saigo is his younger brother. He was wearing headphones with a flame mark from Homura's “*Crescent moon*” series, but they broke in Part 1 Volume 3.

A hero who obtained the power of the third perpetual motion machine to prevent the world from being destroyed by the hands of a nation or organization that acquired the development method of the third perpetual motion machine. If you save the world indirectly, save it as a developer of the third perpetual motion machine, and if you save the world directly, save it as a test subject of the third perpetual motion machine. In the case of Izayoi, it is the latter, and the source of the stellar particle body is embedded in the fetus.

Originally, he was not supposed to come to Hakoniwa and even have a connection with Kintojaku, so he was supposed to be born in the future, but due to the interference of the former "No Name" in human history, his birth time changed greatly, and Kintojaku and others became new. When he tried to create a group of gods and support "original candidates", he dug up the possibility of Sakamaki Izayoi. He became mankind's "original candidate" amid that interference. Kinhijaku calls his existence the “Last future of Embryo” and describes him as the strongest “original candidate”. The person himself says it's a coincidence, but Croix believes that only a human named Sakamaki Izayoi has the potential to save the world in some way. It is said that it was chosen as an original candidate because it had such a shape, and the law of cause and effect is reversed in Izayoi's bounty. A boon is blessed because it is promised to save the future, not a boon obtained for saving the past. At the stage when it was decided that Izayoi could be summoned to the miniature garden, Homura Saigo was created as a spare and agent of Gyakukai Izayoi to correct history.

Because of his life in the "Canary Family Home", he takes care of younger people, and dislikes being wielded with great power over weak beings like children. Only unconditionally kind to those who cannot stand up for themselves, such as those who are socially weak or those who are socially in a bad position. Even among the elite "no-names" in close combat, it has outstanding fighting ability. In battle, he always puts himself on the front line and tries to protect his comrades, but in addition to worrying about his comrades, it also stems from his inability to trust them to moves and throw objects at the speed of the third universe, fists with the physical strength to crush mountains and rivers, nullifies all benefits other than physical interference, a strong body that can withstand attacks that would normally cause instant death, and the power to crush stars. It can display multiple powerful powers, such as emitting a pillar of light, but Izayoi still hasn't fully mastered "unidentified", and even the aforementioned power is only a part of her original power. it is revealed. He has received various gifts, including Mizuki seedlings, which are mostly provided as shared materials for the community. The gift card was only used to carry Mizuki's seedlings and to evacuate Snow White.

In terms of intelligence, he is one of the top class members of "No Name" and is in the rank of Jin's staff, and with that knowledge, he is often the first to reach the secrets of the Little Garden and the clearing conditions of the gift game. He is quick to calculate risks, but he is willing to take a certain amount of risk to enjoy the gift game.

When he was a baby, he was kidnapped by Kinshijaku and left anonymously in a children's facility, where he was tormented by the world's conflicts due to his too-powerful grace and was forced to live a life of loneliness and doubts about his monstrous nature. He visited 24 welfare facilities and 31 adoptive parents and was arrested 21 times for the cover-up crime of the adopter. He met Kinitojaku when he played a game where he was betting on and became an adopted child. After being adopted by Kinitojaku, he traveled around the world, eventually being invited to the "*Canary Family Home*" that Kinitojaku made for Izayoi. After the death of Kinshijaku, she participates in the last game left in her will and finds the answer, but battles in the space created by Croix Baron as a "bonus stage", and finally Destroyed the space with a pillar of aurora and escapes. He then wakes up and decides to go to the Little Garden of his own accord, opening his invitation and being summoned to the Little Garden. 19 years and 9 months in the second part "*Last Embryo*". As a qualification to participate in the Second Solar Sovereignty War, he has a lion in his hand and has become a body that cannot be cut with a knife, but he has only three months left as a minor, which is the qualification to participate.

The author cites him as one of the characters that are easy to move, and he is particular about the lines. The color of the gift card is cobalt blue.

It has been stated that Izayoi is a very competent fighter and also has amazing reflexes and potential. Saurian Demon King once remarked that Izayoi had the potential to be an experienced martial artist with his skills. In Last Embryo 2, when Bull Demon King managed to smash Izayoi with a pole, Izayoi immediately blocked and kicked it off his hands timely. Izayoi also showed an arm-locking technique when he tried to pin Bull Demon King to the ground and near the end of the fight, he threw Bull Demon King away by grabbing his horns, making him crash into several maze wall layers, Bull Demon King remarked that he didn't expect Izayoi finally got some martial art skills. Up to now, it's still unknown how Izayoi got them after 3 years of timeskip but it's implied Kouryuu may have taught him.

Izayoi is incredibly intelligent. He has created plans to help the No Names in both battle and commerce. Izayoi has shown that he is knowledgeable in religions, fairy tales, and mythologies, having easily identified the [Perseus] artifacts, solved the riddle of the Pied Piper of Hamlin, and identified constellations and asterism. When Izayoi is left behind to stall for time against Azi Dakaha, Asuka remarks that without him, they cannot even come up with a proper plan of attack.

* **Supernatural Strength**: This seems to be the main function of Izayoi's Gift as it grants him immense strength. He uses his strength to throw objects at the 'Third Cosmic Velocity', run on walls by digging his feet into them, and even compress Leticia's lance into a ball by simply punching it. Back when Izayoi fought Baron La Croix before he got summoned to Little Garden, Izayoi could lift the entire building and throw it at him with no effort. In Volume 4, Izayoi easily defeated an army of Celtic Titan. Izayoi also could keep up with Saurian Demon King in Volume 5, as both of them neatly matched against each other though it was quite difficult for Izayoi because at that time he still didn't have martial arts skills. When Izayoi knew His Highness was the one that injured Black Rabbit, in anger he beat him so violently that His Highness couldn't protect himself for a moment before his company came to save him. In Volume 7 both Izayoi and His Highness got a re-match at the Kouen City, His Highness admitted that Izayoi was stronger than him even though that Izayoi didn't feel any different from the powers of their fists. The punches of Izayoi were strong enough to destroy mountains and rivers, split the oceans or seas, on par with planetary crustal movement, and even shake the stars. As seen in Volume 8 when he has thrown hundred of punches that could shake stars on Azi Dahaka at the Third Cosmic Velocity, thus overwhelming him for a short amount of time before he put up his Aurora Pillar.
* **Enhanced Perception**: Izayoi possesses an exceptional sixth sense, easily signaled out Fores Garo's henchman in Episode 3 and Leticia's presence when she was hiding outside the window in Episode 4.
* **Supernatural Speed**: His speed is said to be on par with Black Rabbit, who is mentioned to be part of the fastest species in Little Garden. However, his speed is different from hers as he is able to retain that speed as shown when he blocked an attack meant for Black Rabbit, returns her safely to a rooftop and proceeded to return to fight Black Percher. He was fast enough to leave his afterimages, as seen in volume 5 when battling the Saurian Demon King and in volume 6 when chasing the Demon King of Confusion at Kouen City. If Izayoi were to put his full strength behind his every step, the residential structures that weren’t stable enough would most likely be blown away.
* **Supernatural** **Durability**: Izayoi is rather durable, being the only one out of the three problem children to not need a Gift of Protection to survive his fights and take on powerful attacks without being injured. It took Weser to double his power and possessing [Divinity] to only injure Izayoi and even then the injury did not even slow Izayoi down. However, his durability isn`t invincible, he's shown to be rather weak against bladed weapons wielded by a strong enough individual, and he suffered quite a bit during his fight against Saurian Demon King. In his battle with Azi Dakaha, Izayoi was stabbed through his abdomen and had his organs punctured. It should be noticed that when Izayoi's Aurora Pillar made contact with Azi Dahaka's [Avesta], he barely survived the force of impact, though Azi Dahaka later explained that their powers canceled each other out so that Izayoi could survive the blast. After his fight against Azi Dahaka, all the bones and the muscles in his body were minced.
* **Supernatural Stamina:** During the fight with Azi Dahaka, although Izayoi received a lot of injuries and therefore his stamina almost ran out after the fight with His Highness, he was still able to fight with every bone and muscle in his body almost completely chopped up and crushed. Izayoi was the first one that hold back Azi Dahaka for the others to run away even though he was already on the verge of his death.
* **Supernatural resistance:** Based on his ability that allows him to negate and destroy Gifts, Izayoi has resistance to supernatural powers. Several examples include when Izayoi was totally immune to Ratten's mind control music in volume 2, Baron placed a Death Curse on Izayoi but it never took hold of him in volume 3, and when Demon King of Confusion stopped time in all of Kouen City and its residents, but Izayoi was completely unaffected in volume 6.
* **Aurora Pillar** (fanmade name) - A power that revolves around creating a light construct in the shape of a small pillar which then enlarges to the point of reaching skyward, he then swings it at his enemy. This is the true manifestation of Izayoi's power to destroy Gifts. Its power could defeat Divine Spirits, eliminate all of the stars in the night sky, and annihilate everything in the material world. He has used it for four times: to destroy the pocket dimension Baron La Croix created, to destroy the huge dragon's heart, in his fight against Azi Dakaha - when the Aurora Pillar made contact with the [Avesta] created a vortex with power comparable to the collision between stars that could destroy All Creation and their clash reduced more than half of a volcano peak to nothing more than subatomic particles, the force unleashed from Aurora Pillar capable of absorbing the light of the stars and pierce through the veil of Little Garden, and finally in Volume 11 with the help from Baron La Croix, he erased Maxwell Demon Lord by his Aurora Pillar with only one shot. His Highness described it as "Another Cosmology", the secret techniques of the pantheons of Gods to construct their worlds - universes. Izayoi also made a compliment by himself that his Aurora Pillar is the shape of a possessing cosmology of humanity. It has been hinted from Volume 2 when Izayoi managed to unleash his full power against Black Percher after she mocked Izayoi that he didn't have enough strength to destroy stars but Black Rabbit stopped him due to the plan and in Volume 5, during the fight between him and Saurian Demon King that if Izayoi used this trumpcard, he would not be able to control it enough to let Saurian survive the hit, it also should be noted that when Izayoi put up his Aurora Pillar even Azi Dahaka got shocked after saw it and he had to activated his [Avesta] to counter him, making the Aurora Pillar is extremely powerful and very dangerous even for the strong Demon Lords. Only the like of His Highness or Azi Dahaka in which they also possessed "Another Cosmology" like Izayoi could match against his Aurora Pillar.
* **Grass Bracelet -** A bracelet made of grass. It gives the owner the ability to talk to griffins. Sala gave this to Izayoi to let him communicate with Gry during the assault upon the huge dragon in the Underwood arc.

 《**Sun Authority: Leo**》
* Sun Authority of Leo, is one of the twelve constellations. Protected by the Nemean lion, the model for Leo, it bestows constant bounty on its wielder, making it impervious to all slashing attacks. Even if it is something that cuts mountains, cuts off seas, and splits the sky, the grace of Leo is repelled without problems.
* To surpass this concept, the bounty of the stars is similarly hidden, and the bounty of decisive bounty or the bounty of celestial spirit killing is indispensable. Since there is no lore related to the sun in Izayoi, it is impossible to draw anything other than constant blessings.
 《**Blood Accelerator (B.D.A)**》
* Stretchable gloves for the right hand, back-of-hand type BDA. It circulates the "star particles" in the body at a constant speed. When used, the particles exceed the limit of the material world, the "definition of one second", and begin superfluidity within the body.
* In particle body research, the "definition of one second" is replaced by the frequency of 32.768 kHz, which is mainly used for clocks, and the "star particle body" responds to this "definition of one second" and changes the internal pathways of the parasitic organism. It rotates about 330,000 times at a constant speed. Izayoi, who carried the "Stellar Particle Body" from her fetus, has a well-developed blood circuit, and if she uses her own body as an external accelerator, she can obtain explosive power, and even Parasurama cannot react. You can demonstrate speed and strength enough to block a blow from Hercules' baton with one hand. It can also consume other people's particle bodies in an instant.
* ***Override with Another Crown***
 《**Sanskrit Spear (Brahmastra Replica)**》
* Indra's spear, which is summoned from the "Paper Fragment of the Epic Poetry Mahabharata" and is enshrined in the Divine Protection of Taishakuten and clad in heavenly thunder. Taishakuten's Divine Spear contains the <Gift> of victory that Karna received in exchange for the Sun Armor. Appears with a thunderclap and flashes of lightning. Because of its strength, it can only be used once during the Gift Game.
* A divine spear with a one-hit victory, created by Taishakuten, the head of the Twelve Guardians, and Brahma, the supreme deity of Indian mythology, who is the leader of the Twelve Guardians. Since it is a replica of the "pseudo creation star chart" born from the concept of a pair of Sanskrit that worships Taishakuten and Brahma as a pair, it has the cosmology of "fire worship". This is a replica of the Black Rabbit, and although it doesn't match the original ability, it has the benefit of infinitely emitting the amount of energy necessary to defeat the opponent it penetrates.
* A penalty is given to the user when used at the same time as "Pseudo-Epic ─ Nitten Armor". This boon entails the fate of "*defeating those who pierce it*", but it has the weakness of not being able to demonstrate its full power against opponents that cannot be stabbed. The second part "Last Embryo", is lent by Black Rabbit in a constantly summoned state.

Brittney Karbowski

A short, sleeveless 14-year-old girl who is one of the problem children. She has been invited to the world of Little Gardens since the 2000s and a little later, and she has a sense of purpose to increase the number of friends of all races. For that reason, she shows a high degree of interest in the creatures of the miniature garden and takes the initiative in participating in gift games where she has the opportunity to come into contact with phantom beasts.

Personality is wild and free. She doesn't hide what she's thinking, she's honest about what she wants to do, and she learns to come to terms with those around her. She is mild-mannered and seldom gets angry, but she becomes enraged when No Name, Glee, or Sarah are insulted. She is also an undeniably gluttonous eater, single-handedly destroying the food pantry of the Ropponkizu community.

His father is a sculptor and his mother is a biologist. Even in an age when science and technology have advanced and humans have become omnipotent, she has declared an incurable disease and spent a long time in the hospital. During that time, she was looking forward to the story of his father, Takaaki's miniature garden, and at the same time, she grew to yearn for the outside world that appeared in the story. When he was eleven years old, his father gave him a wood carving, and he became able to walk and talk to animals. From that day on, to travel with his father, she used gifts to make friends with many beasts, and in half a year she became strong enough to run, but it must have been the full moon two years after his father told him that she would come to pick him up. On the night of the 16th, the moon did not come to pick me up and the promise was not kept. The color of the gift card is pearl emerald.

She refuses to rely on others because she doesn't want to cause trouble to her companions, and because of this she gets hurt and worries her companions. It's not that she has a bad relationship with her companions but that she takes them very seriously. But precisely because of this, Yō coordination with her companions is not good.

Yō has shown to be a gifted individual and a rather fast learner, being able to pick up on Izayoi's logic-applying skills and use them to solve the Gift Game of Volume 4. She has also shown to understand the phylogenetic tree greatly to be able to combine animal DNA to form various combinations to fight.

* "Those who can't become anyone". Although the effect is unknown, it is said that this is the reason why it does not turn into a monster even if it uses the "Inventory of Life", and that it cannot move without the "Inventory of Life".
 「**Nidhogg: The fang of a snake dragon that is said to eat the world tree.**」
* A boon that emits black flames. Used in conjunction with the Golden Wing Flame from the Life Inventory.

Yō has shown to be a rather skilled combatant, being able to use her powers to even defeat physically superior foes, such as Graiya, Maxwell, and simultaneously 2 of the Two-Headed Dragon "*Clones*" of Azi Dakaha's blood.

― **Yō Kasukabe**

《**Catalog of Life:** **Genome Tree**》: A creation-type Gift. Yō has the Gift to communicate with animals and uses the abilities/characteristics of the species she has befriended by sampling and recreating them as her own. Her gift comes from a small circular wooden medallion given to her by her father that has the Tree of Life, the evolution of life and the system of the life cycle, carved into it. Shiroyasha has commented that Yō's father must have been a great genius to be able to carve the Tree of Life onto such a small circular medallion. Later, it is revealed that it was not carved by her father but the Dystopia Demon Lord. Izayoi even stated that with the almighty power of the Genome Tree, it would be difficult for him to win against Yō.
* **Animal Communication**: Yō has shown to be able to understand a wide array of animals and Eudemons, such as Calico Cat and Gry.
* **Animal Mimicry**: Yō has been shown to use various abilities similar to animals. To use the abilities/characteristics of animals and allow the body to change by using genes of animals she has sampled enabling the creation of new DNA structures, thereby resulting in the creation of new abilities.
	+ **Animal - Cheetah - Enhanced Speed:** Yō has been shown to imitate the speed of a Cheetah (around 60 mp/h). Now that she's faster than this at her base level, she doesn't seem to use this ability.
	+ **Animal - Elephant - Enhanced Strength:** Yō has shown to imitate the strength of an elephant (around 10 tons). However, she doesn't use this ability anymore due to her Celtic Titan enhanced strength.
	+ **Animal - Bat - Echolocation:** Yō is capable of imitating the ability of echolocation of a bat. This grants her limited night vision, and sonar abilities.
	+ **Animal - Elephant - Weight:** Yō has been shown to imitate the weight of an elephant (around 10 tons).
	+ **2nd Gen. Eudemon - Gryphon - Flight:** Yō has shown to imitate the flight gift of a Gryphon. This grants her the gift of flight, by running of controlled air currents. She can reach impressive speeds by doing so. This is Yō's most used combination. She mainly uses this so she can fall from great heights without getting hurt.
	+ **2nd Gen. Eudemon - Celtic Titan - Enhanced Strength:** Yō has shown to imitate the strength of a Celtic Titan. This grants her monstrous levels of strength. She has shown to be capable of greatly bruising Saurian Demon King, defeating monsters said to be as sturdy as steel with a single strike.
	+ **2nd Gen. Eudemon - Hippocampi - Water Walking:** Yō has shown to imitate the water walking gift of a Hippocampi. This grants her the gift of water walking (kinda), by walking on pressurized water controlled by herself. She however has not been shown to have mastered this power.
* **Power-Granting Animal-Themed Equipment:** Yō has been shown to create equipment with abilities based on that of animals she has befriended. These are mostly high level Eudemons and even a few legendary species (i.e.. Kirin, Great Garuda).
	+ **Snake - Cane**: A staff decorated with emerald wings with the jaws of a serpent at the tip. The serpent turned its fangs and caught the scorching heat rays of Graia, who transformed into a black dragon, and showed enough power to blow off one wing.
	+ **2nd Gen. Eudemon - Pegasus-Themed - Armor Boots:** Yō has been shown to create a pair of Pegasus-themed boots, which she usually uses with her power of flight from a Gryphon. It grants her much higher speed as well as greater control over her body while flying. It also greatly increases her leg kicking power and speed.
	+ **King of the Lightning Spirits - Kirin-Themed - Trident:** Yō has been shown to create a Kirin-themed trident, which is capable of defeating very powerful opponents in a single shot of the lightning element. It has defeated even a Hippogryph (a 3rd gen). Eudemon that has the lightning element) with a single attack.
	+ **2nd Gen. Eudemon - Fire Rat-Themed - Leather Lamellar Armor:** Yō has been shown to create Salamander/Rat or "Fire Rat"-themed leather lamellar armor that is capable of nullifying most fire attacks including Ignis Fatuus (a hellfire of sorts) by Willa-the-Ignis-Fatuus. However, it has no offensive capabilities.
	+ **2nd Gen. Eudemon - Gryphon-Themed - Armor Talon Boots:** Yō is capable of creating a pair of Gryphon-themed talon boots. They are very sturdy and can even hurt the 4th-floor Demon Lord by the name of Maxwell.
	+ **3rd Gen. Eudemon - Marchosias - Clawed-Wing Armor Boots:** Yō has shown to be capable of creating a pair of Marchosias-themed boots, which are capable of shooting blasts of fire. The size and intensity range from simple fireballs to a flaming tempest.
	+ **Divine Beast of the Great Garuda; Winged Armor ─ Vinama Garda:** Yō is capable of creating a "Great" Garuda-themed armor, which is capable of using the purifying flames of the "Great" Garuda to annihilate her foes. It can also fly. It has very good defense but it constantly damages her while she uses it and when Yō uses this equipment she loses her other abilities including her ability to walk. In volume 12, she fought Izayoi for a whole week in this form although Yō have lost to him due to all of her spiritual power decreased.
	+ **Divine Spirit of the Primordial Flame** **─** **Quetzalcoatl:** In volume 11, Yō was capable of creating her own Quetzalcoatl form. In this form her spiritual level increased and gained weight which was stated to be comparable to a planet, there was also a bishop's staff decorated with elements of the snake and a bird, and on top of it was the skull of a dragon. She used this to oppose Azi Dahaka's Khvarenah. The Quetzalcoatl form is very powerful and possesses an Anti-Eschatology Gift, if Azi Dahaka's flame calls upon the end of the world, Quetzalcoatl's flame is the opposite attribute.
* **Befriending - Power-Boost:** Each time Yō befriends any being that is either an animal, Eudemon, or a Divine Beast she gets stronger based on the power of the said animal or Eudemon.
* **Healing - Power-Boost:** Each time Yō has been damaged severely she becomes more powerful. It most likely has something to do with evolution, to compensate for her lack of strength at the time.
* **Animal-Like Senses:** Yō has proven to have incredible senses of sight (night vision, and the range and clarity of an eagle), hearing (enhanced range and clarity), smell (largely enhanced range and clarity), and taste (enhanced clarity and pallet). She is even capable of sensing the location of where Maxwell is going to teleport by sensing a little way into the future. However, she can only do this for 3 seconds at a time before taking a split-second pause.

Nancy Novotny

A 15-year-old girl, Asuka is a heiress from a rich family that owns a financial company. Originally, she lived in a period after a war (presumed to be WWII) while attending boarding school. Who is one of the problem children, she was invited to the world of miniature gardens shortly after the war. Ever since she came to Hakoniwa, she has been wearing a red dress daily. She is Kuon Ayato's twin sister who died before it was decided which one was her older sister or younger sister.

In her original world, she was the daughter of a conglomerate and was almost guaranteed happiness in the future. For her, there are two places where she lives, her parents' mansion and the girls' dormitory, and she doesn't know the lifestyle of Japanese people of the same era. She went to school until she was ten years old, and although it was a strict place, she had her friends and was reasonably trusted by her teachers. She didn't even get along with her relatives, and she was a top candidate for the head of the family. However, she is disgusted with her relationships and her unchanging daily life, where her gifts make everything her own, and she decides to go to the world of sandplay.

Born into a family that has passed down nearly 10 generations of descendants by a divine spirit, members of the former "No Name" who were sent to the outside world lend their strength to grow into a large financial conglomerate called the "Kuon Zaibatsu", specializing in the prosperity of commerce. The blood of those who possessed the blessings mixed in various ways, and by receiving the faith to wish for a savior in the era immediately after the defeat, he was born with a spiritual identity that can be called a demigod spirit.

This is why Asuka's gift specializes in "giving" compared to the other two. Originally, it was supposed to manifest as a Divine Spirit, but due to the Divine Spirit's bounty and the body becoming twins, Asuka gained the Divine Spirit's bounty. A living god who possesses the deity of the imperial family, which was vacated by the blood of the imperial family and the human declaration.

She is noble but naive and has a personality that attracts devils. Don't be stubborn, listen to the other person and try to have a conversation about what you don't know. That's why I assert that I don't know what I don't know. Because he grew up in a harsh era, he is interested in small things in an open sand garden and is easily attracted to girlish things. Although he has a lot of pride, he is by no means arrogant and has the flexibility to accept the opinions of others.

In Part 1, the physical abilities are normal humans, and in battle, he mainly uses "Dean" to fight, but "*Almatia's Citadel*", which was created and obtained with the technology of "Will o' Wisp", and "Hameln's wind flute", he began to use jewels with benefits such as ignition and cooling.

During the Battle of Azi-Dakaha, he led the entire army in a war of attrition. After the duel with Kuon Saicho, he set off in search of his no-name comrade who was sent to the outside world. The author said that he likes hard-working characters, and listed him as one of his favorite characters. The color of the gift card is wine red.

The red dress with bows she receives from Kurousagi (Black Rabbit) has an "*aura of protection*" which makes it suitable for fights. She states that it is "easy to move in." To make friends, you rarely use her power to command others. Instead, Asuka uses it to control gifts, so that the controlled gifts can exert greater power.

* A bronze sword that is considered one of the Three Sacred Treasures. Astra, the star sword of all things tuning, exerts the power to step into the "omnipotent realm" that completely seals the surrounding area, including itself, only when held by a member of the imperial family who holds the deity of the Japanese gods.

* Among Faceless's relics recovered by the Queen, it was the only one that was transferred to Asuka and was reforged into a Japanese sword by heaven's hand.
 「**Orb of Flame**」

## Production

This is the first published work by Taro Ryunoko, who won the Encouragement Award at the 14th Sneaker Grand Prize for "*EQUATION: Equation*". Set in a boxed world, this work is a story about troubled children summoned from another world to confront various shura gods, Buddha, and demons and has a variety of motifs such as myths, fairy tales, and historical events. The work sometimes gives the impression of being overstuffed, but this is because the author, Ryunoko, crammed in as many ideas as she could at the time, after receiving a comment in a past Sneaker Grand Prize award review that "I wish I could use up more ideas." At first, Ryunoko came up with the idea of writing a fantasy with a completely original setting, but she thought it would be tough for a newcomer with no buzz to write such a fantasy in the current light novel industry. Instead, he came up with the idea of writing a historical story, which he had never written before, with historical characters being summoned to another world, but his direction changed when he began to think about incorporating elements of mythology and folklore, and eventually took its current form. Ryunoko was not originally familiar with myths and anecdotes, and this knowledge was gained through research to write the novel. In some cases, the manuscript was revised based on rough drawings of characters and settings by Amanohu. In writing the novel, Ryunoko adopted the policy of "*writing a hero who does not stray,*" and also focused on the portrayal of the heroine, since she did not appear in "*EQUATION: Equation*". The selection of the illustrator was done after the novel was written, and Amanoyuri was chosen as the illustrator because she met the criteria of "being able to draw cute bunny ears".

The phrase in the title of this work, *"I hear problem children are coming from another world?*" was originally the subtitle of another title proposal, which was recommended by the editor who saw the subtitle. At first, Ryunoko was puzzled by the recommendation, but since a light novel is not a story unless people know it exists, she thought it would be effective in making many people aware of it, and she accepted the recommendation, partly to express her wish to "take an ugly name and be tough.
