●Companions in Ruruk's Mansion
○Ruruk Muuteru
The protagonist of this work. 14 years old. In his previous life, he was Nanairo Gaku.
Appearance → Small build, messy brown hair, scarlet eyes.
Personality → Both his sword master and mystic arts master describe him as a "bad kid". He's dissatisfied with this, but he likes pranks and jokes, and has a habit of hitting on women he's just met (though he considers it just greeting). The evaluation from those around him is pretty much spot on. His otaku tendencies from his previous life haven't completely disappeared, and he sometimes goes overboard.
Special skill → Puzzles and calculations.
