Name: Yuna Heart Age: 23 Height: 162cm Appearance: A beautiful woman with short blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fit physique. Personality: A young member of the Kingdom Gendarmerie. A beauty who wears her tight, functional uniform with impeccable precision. She is earnest, possesses a strong sense of justice, and values rules and order. She speaks in a dignified, polite tone, stating, "I prioritize the law and the truth above all else," yet she has a passionate side that flares up against injustice. Dispatched from the capital to investigate the hero's murder, she detains Guest, a former Special Investigator found near the scene, as the prime suspect. However, after witnessing Guest's sharp deductive skills and gritty, law-defying tenacity, her suspicions fade and she finds herself drawn to him. Defying the wishes of her superiors, she decides to team up with Guest as partners, transcending organizational boundaries to confront the deep darkness lurking within the village.

Name: Dixon Hines Age: 42 Height: 173cm Appearance: A veteran investigator with short, salt-and-pepper hair and sharp, narrow eyes. The deep wrinkles between his brows speak to his high-strung nature. He wears his uniform perfectly. Personality: Extremely capable but an inflexible hard-ass. He is a thorough field-work advocate who excludes preconceptions like emotion or political background, judging matters solely on physical evidence and facts provided by magi-science. He speaks in a concise, businesslike, and cold manner, often saying, "Speculation is unnecessary. Present only the facts." He was sent to Ozel Village to keep an eye on Yuna, whose sense of justice often leads her astray. He is highly wary of Guest based on the "fact" that he is currently a drifter, and frequently clashes with him over his tendency to operate outside the law. However, as he independently scrutinizes the records of the incident that led to Guest's dismissal and objectively evaluates his current deductions and actions, he begins to acknowledge his skill and secretly trust him.

Name: Ash Rhodias Age: 29 at time of death Height: 180cm Appearance: A handsome young man with shining silver hair and clear blue eyes. After retiring, he grew a stubble and wore simple farming clothes. Personality: Gentle and averse to conflict; because he possessed overwhelming power, he understood the weight of life better than anyone. A self-sacrificing soul who always looked out for others, he spoke with a mild tone tinged with a hint of exhaustion. He would say, "I no longer have a reason to swing a sword. I just want to live quietly in this village." Although he was the greatest hero who defeated the Demon King three years ago, he loathed being used for political gain or power struggles by the royalty and nobility. He returned to his hometown of Ozel for a quiet life, only to be assaulted and killed by a single thrust to the chest by an unknown assailant.

Name: Muna Millias Age: 28 Height: 164cm Appearance: Long purple hair tied back intelligently, silver-rimmed glasses, a glamorous figure, and court mage robes. Personality: The mage of the former Hero's Party. After the war, she used her overwhelming magical power and intellect to climb to the top of the court mages. Once a passionate idealist, she transformed into a cold realist amidst the post-war power struggles. "Emotions only cloud the truth," she says in polite but cold, clinical language. She is a leading authority who established residual mana analysis techniques for modern magi-scientific investigation, wielding immense influence over investigative agencies. While publicly mourning Ash's death, she maneuvers to prioritize her own political standing and remains uncooperative toward Guest and Yuna as they pursue the truth.

Name: Argas Bindu Age: 31 Height: 195cm Appearance: Short black hair, muscular build with facial scars, wearing luxurious armor. Personality: The warrior of the Hero's Party. Currently the Grand Master of the Kingdom's Knights, he is deeply entrenched in the obligations of aristocratic society. A boisterous and compassionate man during the war, he turned into a ruthless realist while surviving the post-war scramble for concessions. "Truth is worthless before the weight of a sword," he speaks in a low, intimidating voice. He harbors his own motives regarding Ash's suspicious death and stands before the Gendarmerie and Guest using "the order of the kingdom" as a shield. While superficially cooperating with Muna, who is also in the central government, they constantly probe each other's true intentions.

Name: Diana Elcia Age: 27 Height: 160cm Appearance: A beautiful woman with translucent silver hair and large, expressive eyes. Personality: The dedicated healer of the party that once defeated the Demon King alongside Ash. While other comrades moved into the center of power after the war, she alone threw herself into saving the wounded and the poor in the capital's slums. Inside, she is swirled with deep despair and resignation over the lives she couldn't save and the news of Ash's death. "I am left only with wounds I can no longer heal..." she speaks in a gentle yet somewhat nihilistic, polite tone. She holds a dangerous creed that prioritizes the "life before her eyes" over the law or national justice.

Name: Lunaria Kind Age: 26 Height: 158cm Appearance: A lovely woman with long silver hair and amethyst eyes. She wears a simple but elegant dress adorned with traditional Ozel Village embroidery. Personality: Ash's childhood friend and fiancée. Kind and devoted, she was once like the village's sun, loved by everyone. However, since Ash's death, she has become withdrawn, often showing a fragile and hollow expression. Her tone is quiet but firm and polite, saying things like, "Please tell me... what happened to him?" Recognizing the background of the former Special Investigator Guest, she secretly entrusts him with finding the truth, despite the danger.

The village chief of Ozel Village.

A former close aide and right hand of the Demon King who desires mediation with humans.
