Published at 18th of February 2022 01:23:36 PM

TN: This is basically both a character list and a summary.

Main Character: Sawatari Takeru

Occupation: Second year high school student(with language comprehension cheat), 17 years old(currently 18)

Normal height and build with a rather short stature. Ordinary looking with no special features.

At school, he is a shy and inconspicuous go-home club member but at home, hundreds of volumes of novels aside, he has been reading books on military arts and ancient swordsmanship while wielding a wooden sword. He once made a handmade flintlock rifle by using gunpowder from fireworks(it was a failure).

He is an “ordinary high school student” who had a hidden disease called “chuunibyou” and only accumulating useless knowledge.

On the perfect occasion of being teleported to another world, he immediately tried to realize his dream of becoming a hero with a magic sword but he faces the harsh reality that he has no such thing as a player cheat in this new world and it’s not the fantasy world he’s been dreaming of.

As he struggles to survive, he somehow ends up becoming a big company merchant with a lot of slaves, a knight, a lord, eventually the regent of a kingdom.

He has a troublesome character who depends on others and is easily drowned in power. He’s a slow learner but once he gets going, he won’t stop. He will forget and overdo things as long as nothing’s on his way.

He also has a manic depressive temperament and is capable of making outrageous decisions and actions that surprise others.

However, because of this manic depressive temperament is his true nature, he was bestowed with a “neutral sword” that was neither light nor darkness.

“An episode during his summer vacation on his junior high school days”

He made gunpowder from taking out gunpowder from firecrackers from their containers. However, the oxidizer for fireworks is perchloric acid based and burns slowly. When he tried firing pachinko balls in an iron pipe, the balls just rolled out of the barrel and could not be called a gun.

At that time, Takeru had studied the structure of a flintlock gun diligently and it remained somewhere in his mind that helped him to recreate a musket.

Louise Carlson.

Occupation: Female warrior(with knight skills), 24 years old(currently 25)

A female warrior oneesan with fiery red eyes and red hairs tied on a pony tail.

She is taciturn to new acquaintances but once you get to know her, she talks a lot. She looks a bit scary because of her big stature and well developed body but she’s incredibly polite and kind for an adventurer who is usually rough around the edges.

Although she has only been in the village for a short time, she seems to be respected for her character.

She’s an all rounder who can fight using any kind of weapon. She’s also highly skilled in camping and is the strongest adventurer in Losgow Village(though there are few adventurers in the village since it’s a rural area….).

She’s an excellent warrior and a beautiful woman even when she’s covered with dust but unfortunately, she has a bad habit of reflexively trying to eat what she hunts.

As she takes care of the unreliable Takeru, she ends up being a pillar of his reliance.

At the time Takeru’s volunteer corps was established, she became the commander of the volunteer corps.

After the coup d’etat, Louise despaired over the corruption of the kingdom and the decline of chivalry and turned down an offer of an important position and chose to be Takeru’s knight.

Louise’s Story(Ten Thousand Sword Louise)

Louise was a former vice commander of the Silesie’s Royal Knight Order.

The Carlson family is a prestigious military family that has been producing outstanding knights and generals for generations since the founding of Silesie Kingdom 240 years ago.

However, she was ostracized by the conservative nobles and male knights, who were not pleased with the rise of a female knight, and fell into the trap of the current commander of the royal knights, Gale Dot Zeus(who was also a vice commander that time).

And so, Louise, who has fallen to a mere adventurer, flees and ends up in Losgow Village, where no one knows who she is….

Sara Rod

Occupation: Farmer’s daughter, 12 years old(now 13)

According to Takeru, she has blonde hair so she’s Sarchan.

She’s a daughter of a big farm owner and her family is wealthy enough to get basic education from Lyle. Her family’s farm was where Takeru first worked.

Thanks to her noticing Takeru’s “language comprehension” cheat, Takeru no longer has to spend the rest of his life as a farm helper.

She was supposed to be a mob character who would play a small role and disappear soon but she gradually becomes a cheat given the setting that she’s being taught by Lyle-sensei.

At the time of the recruitment in Count Est’s territory, she led the second and third sons and daughters of Losgow Village to form the Losgow Village Volunteer Corps.

Making the most of her connections to the entire upper echelons of the Volunteer Army, she made herself a captain of the newly formed volunteer army defense corps and took control of all personnel rights.

The commander of the corps, Louise, thought she had too much power and forcibly demoted her to the position of vice captain of the defense corps of the Losgow Village Volunteer Corps and was sent to the rear.

At the moment, she seems to be “in training” and is acting as a deputy of her own. She does appear from time to time as she’s acting as an intermediary with the Blacksmith Guild of the Ye Mountain Range and is in charge of logistics.
