Kishara von Broidwan
Empire’s Great General. A handsome 43-year-old full-armor knight in his prime.
Always on the battlefield, he has a wife in name only and is practically single.
His wife returned to her family long ago, the imperial capital mansion is just maintained by an elderly live-in caretaker couple.
Even so, he’s incredibly popular with women.
He has quite a few one-night stands.
In terms of pure combat ability (using normal human standards), he’s probably the strongest on the continent.
Noie and Tricia are in a completely different league, so comparing them is meaningless.
Next in line would be Halfren, a certain tribal man from the northern continent, and a certain female swordmaster from the west, among others.
He’s strong individually, but he’s also terrifying when leading an army.
His basic strategy is “never lose”.
Examples include cutting enemy supply lines or forcing guerrilla warfare… he favors subtle, annoying tactics.
He understands soldiers are irreplaceable resources, so he hates attrition warfare.
His subordinates are loyal and talented.
In reality, he’s more popular than the current Emperor.
But he has zero intention of rebelling against his older brother.
He probably stays on the front lines to avoid causing unnecessary problems.
It kind of feels like a punchline setup, but I believe he’ll have a proper moment when he reappears later.

Yaju
Kishara’s subordinate. Head of covert operations and espionage.
Originally a lesser noble from a country absorbed and erased by the Empire.
Now officially an imperial citizen, but his contributions would easily earn him low-noble status if he wanted it.
A lanky, Ru○n-type 40-year-old single man.
He’s had several marriage proposals, but always turns them down because they’d interfere with work.
He originally planned to settle down after retiring… but at his age, it might be tough.
Scolding Tricia about her near-naked outfits has become one of their little communication rituals.
He genuinely thinks 「Women shouldn’t show that much skin. Wear proper clothes」 when he says it.
The behind-the-scenes man who supports Kishara through schemes, intrigue, sabotage, and more.
He handles most of the dirty work and toils diligently for his general.
But because he’s fundamentally honest, when he discovers criminal organizations, he sometimes uses them as bargaining chips instead of just crushing them outright.
That’s why he never secretly deals in drugs or anything like that.
If he found out a subordinate was involved, he’d dispose of them immediately.
He’s strict with subordinates because he knows how easily his work can collapse from one small mistake.
You never know what tiny detail might give the enemy a lead, so he’s harsh to keep them sharp.
But he remembers every subordinate’s child’s birthday.
He’s a good person… but past experiences have left him with a twisted, cynical outlook.

Tricia
Empire’s Dragon Slayer, a towering giantess. Actually an ogre. Female. Still only 23 years old.
Over 3 meters tall. When power surges through her entire body, she grows even taller and broader, maxing out beyond 4 meters.
Her only weapon is her own body. She cannot use magic or spells.
In her original world, she’s been beating up anyone she didn’t like since she was old enough to think.
Eventually, she dominated every single ogre.
But she rules without governing, problems piled up, and being the “heretic” who refuses to eat people only made things worse.
Just as the all-ogre final war against Tricia was about to erupt, she was summoned here.
The Empire performed a reckless summoning ritual to gain a warrior for war… only for her to declare 「I don’t hunt what I won’t eat」.
They reluctantly reassigned her to dragon slaying.
She spends her days in perpetual frustration against dragons.
When she’s not fighting, she drinks, rages, sleeps, and repeats, until she finally found her ideal target: Noie.
She’s burning for a rematch.
She’s actually very smart.
She lied to Noie to provoke her into going all out, after all.
But she only uses her brain when she feels like having fun.
Otherwise, she switches it off completely.
If she had won that battle, her plan was to kidnap Arg and Noie…then leave behind a note naming the suspect in the child disappearance cases as a decoy.
Like Yaju, she has a fundamentally honest nature.
She’s also unexpectedly fond of children, so she even considered beating up every suspect herself before leaving.
She’s scheduled to reappear later and go absolutely wild…but who she fights is still undecided at this point.
