大陸状況とこれまでの人物紹介2 (Part1)
### Continental Situation and Character Introductions (Part 2)
Today, as requested, I will be compiling the character introductions since the cast has grown quite large. But before that, let me explain the current state of the continent as known to Yuki (Kazuya Torino).
Please note that since this information comes from Yuki’s acquaintances, it is based on multiple perspectives but is not necessarily absolute.
#### The Continental Situation
First, the Five Great Powers:
* **The Demon King’s Nation** (Name unknown)
* **The Knight Kingdom of Roschur** (Where Yuki’s main dungeon base is located)
* **The Holy Nation of Lithea**
* **The Fortress Nation of Gartz**
* **The Emerging Nation of Rumel** (The country that summoned Tanaka and the others)
These five nations are arranged in a donut shape, with the Demon King’s nation in the center and the other four surrounding it. Seraria claims that long ago, these four nations drove the Demon King into that central territory. Yuki, however, suspects that the Demon King intentionally built his stronghold there because he was surrounded on all four sides—after all, he hasn't been wiped out yet. The "drove him there" story is likely just a face-saving fabrication by the four nations.
As for other countries, there are countless nations behind these four. Generally, those outer nations are constantly at war with one another, or at the very least, are quite unstable. Even with a Demon King present, humans remain humans. It has become an unspoken rule not to interfere with the four nations that act as a shield.
Currently, three of these four nations—Roschur, Lithea, and Gartz—have formed a new alliance based on a compromise Yuki casually proposed. As for Rumel, negotiations for them to join the alliance are underway. Seraria believes they won't refuse, given that they have a Hero. In this way, the four nations are preparing a cooperative system to defeat the Demon King. Yuki, however, has no intention of participating.
#### State of Each Nation
* **Roschur:** The King and Princess are currently swamped cleaning up after Loire. With the middle sister getting married off and the youngest sister officially declared dead, it’s a chaotic situation. They are grateful for the stability of the alliance with Lithea and Gartz—a result of Seraria’s (and Yuki’s) schemes—but they remain wary of Yuki, whose true nature is an enigma.
* **Lithea:** Rurua has officially retired. In the wake of recent events, Alstaire has become even stricter, focusing her efforts on curbing the tyranny of the nobility. Her handling of refugee policies and the suppression of hardliners has earned her unprecedented popularity. In reality, the truth behind the fairy trade, Rurua’s survival, and the neutralization of the hardliners is entirely the work of Seraria and Yuki. Despite the success, Alstaire spends her days with a constant stomachache.
* **Gartz:** By receiving massive reparations from Lithea (facilitated by Seraria), they have eased their tensions and are quite positive about the alliance. However, feeling it’s awkward to just take the money, they have offered to send their 7th Princess as a gesture of goodwill. Yuki thinks there must be someone quite sharp in their ranks to suggest sending a princess.
* **Rumel:** Nothing is known other than the fact that they summoned a Hero. They are the newest of the powers, but Yuki figures they must have something going for them to be counted among the Five Great Powers.
* **The Demon King:** He captured his self-proclaimed Four Heavenly Kings, but there is no information to be had. Both are idiots: one is a mad scientist, and the other is a brainless, fire-wielding muscle-head with an absurdly large chest. They are currently under special protection, doing farm work inside the dungeon. They get along well with the town residents; Yuki is starting to think he might as well just let them go. Judging by reports from other nations, the Demon King is quite active, repeatedly launching invasions and being repelled, but since his objectives are unclear, I will refrain from further comment here.
#### The Dungeon
The dungeon governed by Yuki himself—an impregnable, chaotic, and unparalleled stronghold. However, that only applies to those attacking it. Most of the immigrants are grateful for life in the dungeon and spend their days happily. In terms of military, public safety, technology, convenience, entertainment, employment, and sanitation, it is vastly superior to any other nation. Yuki himself is still experimenting with various things and has no desire to rule a country. As Seraria put it, if he wanted one, he would have already taken it. The name of the dungeon is scheduled to be decided by a vote from the entire town.

### Character Introductions (Part 2)
#### The Dungeon Group
**Yuki (Kazuya Torino)**
* *Former Human-based Dungeon Management Tribe*
Our Dungeon Master. It’s been four months since he was whisked away from Earth. He’s had so many experiences that he’s starting to think, "Man, I’m pretty amazing." He gets homesick, but not severely, which makes him worry if he’s a cold-hearted person. In reality, it’s because his living environment hasn't changed from when he was in Japan: wake up at 7:00, work at 9:00, seven-hour shift, home for dinner, bath, and games. There is a specific reason he doesn't lay a hand on his wives, but that is a story for another day.
* *Quote:* "Oh, this new release is out."
**Labyris**
* *Under Special Protection, Succubus, General Representative/Dungeon Master (Publicly)*
One of the Dungeon’s Three Great Young Girls. She still sports her signature purple twin-tails and melon-sized breasts. She’s been frustrated lately because she’s too busy to cling to Yuki. It seems she enjoys spending time with the many children at school, and she has started smiling much more often than her usual expressionless self. She handles her work normally.
* *Quote:* "Sometimes strange men look at my chest. I want to kill them."
**Aslin**
* *Under Special Protection, Human, Top Candidate for Future Representative (Hidden)*
One of the Dungeon’s Three Great Young Girls. She calls Yuki "Big Brother" and is very attached to him. Elju and Seraria are also doting on her. Deryu doesn't say it openly, but she treasures her as well. Naturally, everyone else does too. She is the conscience of this group.
* *Quote:* "I’m going to be Big Brother’s bride!!"
**Firia**
* *Under Special Protection, Dwarf, Blacksmith Representative (Narjia is the public representative)*
One of the Dungeon’s Three Great Young Girls. She calls Yuki "Brother" and admires him greatly. Despite their different races, she, Labyris, and Aslin are very close. She is currently learning blacksmithing from Narjia and the immigrant dwarves, and by combining that with Yuki’s knowledge, her talent is beginning to bloom.
* *Quote:* "Brother, please wait for me!!"
**Eris**
* *Under Special Protection, Elf, Residential District/Entertainment Facility Representative, Census/Insurance Management*
One of the Dungeon’s Three Great Sages. Eris has been active everywhere since the immigration began. Though not publicly recognized, she is a super-OL who demonstrates exceptional management skills, handling multiple representative roles while assisting in other fields. There was a time when she was terrified of Yuki because she couldn't predict his thoughts, but she has since reflected on that and decided to see Yuki’s path through to the end. If he chooses the wrong path, she is prepared to cut him down.
* *Quote:* "It’s busy, but it’s a wonderful thing, isn't it?"
**Ratz**
* *Under Special Protection, Rabbit Beastman, Merchant Company Representative, Accounting*
One of the Dungeon’s Three Great Sages. She is entrusted with almost all of the dungeon’s financial calculations. She is worried she might die of overwork, but for Yuki’s sake, she doesn't mind. Her style remains the same as before, and she continues to work hard today with 50% more affection.
* *Quote:* "I’m getting to the point where I hate looking at numbers."
**Milly**
* *Under Special Protection, Human, Adventurer District Representative*
