① Heartwarming Caretaker Fantasy of an Around-30 Adventurer × Girl
The charm lies in the pseudo parent-child relationship between Hajime, a 29-year-old single caretaker adventurer, and Rilui, an innocent and resilient girl.
While featuring dungeon adventures, the everyday warmth gently touches the heart.
A slapstick adventure fantasy with laughter and occasional tears (?) 🏠
② Unique and Colorful Characters
A lineup of unique characters including Veronica the succubus, Anyango the dwarf, and Rishat the masochistic servant.
The warm interactions with the people of Komai Village are also a highlight.
Each character is vividly portrayed ✨
③ Depth of the World Setting
A world setting with four races—humans, dwarves, beastfolk, and elves—plus a fifth race called the "Ancient Species."
Adventurer ranks consist of five grades: Gold, Silver, Bronze-Silver, Bronze, and Copper, with Hajime being a Silver-rank powerhouse.
The balance between fantasy elements and realistic life depiction is exquisite ⚔️
④ Rilui's Secret
Rilui, who appears to be an ordinary girl, has a big secret.
She is actually an "Ancient Species" succubus who transforms into an adult woman at night.
This setting adds depth to the story 🌙
⑤ Theme Songs by HoneyWorks
The OP theme is HoneyWorks feat. Hanon "The Light You Lit for Me, Now."
The ED theme is HoneyWorks feat. Kotoha "The Air Tastes Good Next to You."
Songs that complement the work, sung solo by members of Hakoniwa Lily 🎵
① Rilui's Growth Story
Watch Rilui, who starts with zero adventurer skills, gradually grow under Hajime's guidance.
Pay attention to how far this girl, who couldn't even defeat a slime, can grow.
Her positive attitude despite occasional failures is touching 💪
② Hajime's Past
Hajime, an orphan from the slums, has a tragic past.
Why does he live leisurely in Komai Village despite becoming a high-rank adventurer?
The episode revealing the reason will surely bring tears 😢
③ Relationship with Veronica
Veronica the succubus is an old acquaintance of Hajime.
As a fellow succubus, she takes interest in Rilui and gets involved.
You can also enjoy the gap with her sadistic personality 😈
④ Bonds with the People of Komai Village
Hajime is highly trusted by villagers as the village-assigned adventurer.
Warm relationships are portrayed, including guild staff Olive and the inn's Master and Natalie parent-child duo.
The whole village has a family-like atmosphere 🏡
⑤ The Thrill of Dungeon Exploration
Beyond the slice-of-life parts, solid dungeon exploration scenes are also appealing.
Hajime's battle scenes showcasing his Silver-rank abilities are must-see.
The balance between serious and comedy is exquisite ⚔️
① Hajime and Rilui's Meeting
Shinonome Hajime, an orphan from the slums, became a Silver-rank high-level adventurer through hard work.
However, wanting to live leisurely, he spent carefree days as the village-assigned adventurer in Komai Village near a dungeon.
One day on a quest in the dungeon, he meets Rilui, a girl about to be eaten by a slime 🌟
② Beginning of Cohabitation as "Companions"
Hajime couldn't leave Rilui alone, abandoned by her parents with no family.
"If you're going to be my companion, don't cry!!" he declared, deciding to take care of Rilui as an adventurer "companion."
Thus begins the cohabitation of an around-30 single adventurer and an innocent girl 🏠
③ Rilui's True Identity Revealed
Rilui was actually not "just" an ordinary girl.
She is a succubus (demon of lust), a type of Ancient Species, whose body transforms into a seductive adult woman at night.
She cannot control this ability and didn't even understand she was an Ancient Species 🌙
④ Veronica's Appearance
To confirm if Rilui is truly a succubus, Hajime calls Veronica Bari, a succubus of the same kind, to the village.
Veronica, who runs the brothel "Succubus Wings," takes a great liking to Rilui and tries to make her a member of her establishment.
With sadistic Veronica and her masochistic servant Rishat joining, the story becomes lively 💋
⑤ Friendship with Anyango
Anyango, a dwarf girl, was saved by Hajime when she was being attacked by slimes in a dungeon.
This leads her to become best friends with Rilui.
The friendship between Anyango, who aspires to be a blacksmith, and Rilui adds color to the story 👭
⑥ Adventures with Companions
Many companions gather, making Komai Village lively.
However, various incidents and difficulties arise even in peaceful daily life.
Hajime and Rilui face each problem together with their companions ⚔️
⑦ Confronting Hajime's Past
Hajime has a tragic past.
From the bitter experience of watching kind acquaintances die one after another, he adopted the motto "the soft ones die first."
In the episode reflecting on his youth in a dream world, his adventurer life with Ricky and Booby is also depicted 😢
⑧ New Threats and Growth
Powerful roaming bosses appear in the labyrinth, bringing crisis.
Formidable enemies and mysterious figures like Gold-rank adventurers and dungeon creator Blado also appear.
Rilui and the others gradually grow by overcoming various difficulties 💪
