The King of Despair and Divine Beast

■ Tsukimiya Kuuga

Divine Beast Form: Age 0?

A black wolf-like divine beast, about the size of a lion.

The tips of its fur are white, and there’s a pattern on its forehead.

It acts harmlessly and intentionally makes overly friendly gestures, half of which are genuine. Surprisingly cunning.

Human Form: Age 17

Height: 178cm, considered tall for a Japanese person and slightly above average in his world.

He has a handsome face and was extremely popular during his student years, but his friends were very protective, and nobody could get close unless Kuuga showed interest.

In human form, he looks like his former human self but with beast ears and a tail. His hair color is the same as in his divine beast form.

Speaks in a somewhat stiff manner, but is good at making jokes and responding to them.

■ Gadilas Ria Idios

Age: 24

Height: 185cm, considered tall but not uncommonly so in his world.

He has dull gray hair and green eyes, usually with a cold look, but this changes after meeting Kuuga.

He worked as a civilian official but has a sturdy build due to daily morning training, though not as muscular as active knights.

Seems to be in a state of despair.
