Wherever the shadow of this branch falls, there lies the seat of the Judge.
An internal audit organization within "The Outstanding Paragon," commonly known as "TOPS," a conglomerate that dominates the economy of New Eridu. While TOPS is full of those who pursue profit so arrogantly they lose their humanity, there still exist "unwritten rules" established by the Round Table. Those who ignore even these rules and seek profit through illegal means are subject to the review and judgment of the women known as the "Black Branch."
Zhao "Since you've come all this way, why don't you try making a 'deal' with Zhao-chan?" Affiliation: Black Branch of Krampus Race: Rabbit Thiren Gender: Female Height: 118cm Birthday: October 14th At first glance, she looks and acts like a cute child, but she is a top-tier employee who hides unfathomable skill and ruthlessness befitting her position, boasting one of the highest mission success rates in the organization. Due to childhood experiences, she believes that the world operates on equivalent exchange—proving one's value through give-and-take. She does not believe in cooperation without mutual benefit and maintains a strict policy against working for free or doing unpaid overtime. She has a habit of warning others to stop performing acts of service out of mere goodwill. While her body is animal-like, her facial features are similar to a human's; she is exceptionally short and fluffy.
「Is this a complaint? Now, now, please don't get so worked up~」 「Ta-da! I've prepared a special service tailored to your complexion, the 'LMAO You're in the Red' plan!」 Gender: Female Race: Human Height: 145cm A young "Adjudicator" belonging to the TOPS internal audit organization, "Black Branch of Krampus." Normally, she works as an operator at the "Cross-Departmental Customer Support Center," handling phone calls and sometimes going into the field to process complaints. She reportedly handles the highest volume of cases in her department. However, she is quite sharp-tongued and seems to enjoy teasing people, as seen when she mocks complainants by offering them the 'LMAO You're in the Red' plan. Her authority as an Adjudicator is the ability to hear the final voices of humans who died inside Hollows. It is a natural talent she was born with, and a kind of curse.
「In this land I protect, there is no room for evil to tread!」 Gender: Male Race: Intelligent Construct Height: 200cm First person: I (formal/archaic). With his inorganic appearance and calm way of speaking, he gives off a stiff impression. In reality, he is quite airheaded—for example, taking Dialin's metaphorical "spitting venom" literally. Once you get to know him, it's clear he is an honest and kind-hearted individual.
Gender: Female Race: Human A woman belonging to the Black Branch of Krampus. She goes by the alias "The Ice Executioner." Due to her background, she also functions as a cleaner. Even within the Black Branch, which is feared as a group of "Grim Reapers," she is known as a particularly ruthless and highly skilled executioner who allows no room for argument. 「...Found you. You're the last of them.」 「You should stay back.」
