CHARACTERS

 

Heroine

The head of the Suzumori clan. Yukina is very stubborn and tomboyish. She tends to say that she does not see herself as a woman but more so just a Chieftain before anything. Ever since she began guarding Yase-hime, Yukina very dearly admired and respected her. She was raised by the three elders ever since she was young and ever since has felt indebted to the kindness they showered on her. Yukina strongly believed humans are all greedy, violent and selfish. Her opinion begins to shift as she spends time with any of the love interests and understand their side of the story. She cares about all members of the Ten Demon Council as comrades dear to her.

It was because there was suspicions of him being tied to the bandit. At first he seemed quite whiny when being interrogated but still listens to what he’s being told. Senkimaru slowly opens up to everyone as month passes by. He becomes close enough to pick on Chitose like the rest.
