Bachelorettes and Bachelors
Fuuka (voiced by Aki Toyosaki)
A wereanimal girl who ends up in Rigberth after roaming various lands. While she had a rough life before she came to town, she now has the mentality to look back on it and laugh. While she cannot read and write human language yet, she can intuitively tell when others are lying thanks to her animal instincts. She is extremely honest.
Ludmilla (voiced by Sumire Morohoshi)
A succubus girl who breathes love. She enjoys the feeling of living on the edge and is crazy about the protagonist.

As a succubus, she has caused misfortune to people in the past and has since distanced herself from others.
Murakumo (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi)
A wereanimal young man who runs Rigberth’s only inn. Although lively and laid-back, he is a kind and chivalrous spirit. He has an overly strong desire to entertain his guests, and continues to lose money over his excess services. After meeting the protagonist, he tries to revamp the inn by taking his guests’ advice into consideration.
Lucas (voiced by Shoutaro Morikubo)
An amnesiac gentleman who shows up in town as a mysterious traveler. He shows an interest in everything and is not hesitant to take action.

While he may have lost his memory, he is still extremely knowledgeable and can perfectly assess ores and such.
