## History

Sometime before the start of the story, Hien became one of Shuro's retainers. During her time at the Nakamoto household, she once scolded Asebi for offloading her chores onto Tade and for not being grateful to the family for taking her in.

Hien, along with the other retainers, followed Shuro when he went to The Island for his warrior training. They also went with him on his mission to save Falin.

## Plot

### Fifth Floor Arc

When Kabru's party encounter a Sea Serpent during their return to the surface, they try to attack but are knocked back due to its movements. As Kabru faces down the serpent and briefly panics on how to defeat it, Hien suddenly appears, kneeling on his shoulders and throwing an explosive into its mouth. As she jumps back off his shoulders, she calls Tade to hit it, then Shuro deals the final blow. When he refuses to rest and moves forward, Hien and the other retainers remark on how hopeless their young master has become. As they follow after Shuro, Tade holds up the serpent's head to Hien and proposes they cook it with daikon, which Hien responds to by asking if she is an idiot. Their departure is interrupted by Kabru, who introduces himself and asks their names, making Hien blush in response.

Hien is next seen in the shadows with the rest of Shuro's retainers, spying on Laios' party before they attack. She captures Marcille, holding a knife against her throat, and comments on her frog skin suit. However, when Shuro says he knows them, she lets Marcille go and figures out that 'Shuro' refers to their young master Toshirō. While Shuro chats with his old party, Hien and the other retainers stand aside. When Shuro asks Maizuru to prepare some food for him, she orders Hien and Benichidori to prepare the rice. Afterwards, Hien stands around with Benichidori and listens to Maizuru tell Senshi about Shuro as a child. As their conversation drifts to Shuro's interest in 'that woman from the north', Hien and Benichidori imagine Shuro's family line, but their vision of Shuro and Falin's possible child makes Hien think it impossible.

Soon afterwards, the cooking group are attacked by harpies. One harpy swoops at Hien, Benichidori and Tade. As Tade's attack misses another harpy, Maizuru calls Hien along with Benichidori and Asebi to take to the roofs and defeat them. While the retainers manage to dispatch at least one harpy, Hien is quickly defeated, falling to her death. After this, many members of the three parties are killed and injured by the chimerized Falin.

After Falin flees and the battle ends, Hien is revived presumably by Maizuru right before she revives Benichidori while Shuro fights with Laios. While Shuro eats after the fight, Hien and Tade kneel before him and apologize on behalf of the retainers for not being strong enough to help him. However, he tells his retainers that they have done well, thanking them and apologizing for dragging them along with him. This shocks all of them, including Hien.

As the whole group rests and prepares a meal after the battle, Hien is seen leaning against the wall with Tade and Benichidori. While she eats a bowl of rice, she tells off Tade who says the rice is bringing her back to life even though she didn't die. After the meal, Hien, along with the rest of Shuro's and Kabru's parties, returns to the surface using Maizuru's teleportation spell.

### Sixth Floor Arc

As the party arrives at the surface, Hien expresses her appreciation for the fresh air.
