He’s a regular guy who dreamed of becoming an Adventurer. He was bummed out after receiving the non-combat ‘Beauty’ Gift, but meeting Hibiki cheered him up. Now, with Hibiki as his girlfriend—plus Koharu and Kirino joining the fold—his life has turned into a chaotic ride! He’s just a normal-looking, inconspicuous guy, neither an extrovert nor an introvert. Just… average.

* Bust Size: F-Cup.

She’s a girl in love who absolutely adores Beauty! Driven by the intense Recoil effect of Hirose’s Skills, she impulsively took his virginity—and lost her own in the process. Though it happened in the heat of the moment, she genuinely fell for him afterward. She’s fundamentally positive and bright, often dragging Hirose and the others into her schemes. She’s a typical girl who loves all things cute. While she used to like handsome guys, now it’s only Hirose for her.
Her ‘Desire’ Gift is the ability to find the person who can grant a desire—by making the person that she or someone else subconsciously wants most to light up. Pretty cool, huh?

* Height: 156cm
* Appearance: Black, collarbone-length hair with one small braid.

* Bust Size: G-Cup.
* Gift: Reduction (軽減).
* Skill: Pain Sensation Reduction Grant.
Koharu had multiple bruises from her father’s domestic violence (DV), but Hirose’s Skill completely healed them. She secretly received the Pain Reduction Gift and used her body to shield her mother and brother from her father’s abuse, enduring all the pain herself (her parents are now divorced). She’s a bookish girl who loves to read. However, despite her calm appearance, she becomes a ferocious beast at night.

* Height: 168cm
* Appearance: Blue, long hair, usually held with a hair clip.
* Occupation: High School Freshman.
* Bust Size: B-Cup.
* Gift: Ice Air (Cold Manipulation/Ice Magic).
She’s the school’s top beauty. Unfortunately, her stunning looks attract too much attention from guys, causing some girls to hate her, leaving her without friends. After receiving her Gift in elementary school, her body hair started increasing, forcing her to shave every day. Hirose’s Skill gave her full-body permanent hair removal, a true lifesaver! She also has some very specific sexual preferences.
She’s been practicing her Gift since she was little, allowing her to use powerful abilities even with her eyes closed. While not a registered Adventurer, she possesses strength that’s at least A-Rank or higher—now that’s a serious power level!

World Lore Glossary
The profiles and world terms, laid out like files on a futuristic interface, provided all the necessary background for the chaos to come.
Dungeon
An anomalous space that suddenly appeared worldwide thirty years ago. One can enter a Dungeon through a mysterious gate called a ‘Gate’. These continue to pop up randomly and regularly. Inside, there are bizarre monsters, and once the boss at the deepest part is defeated, the Gate vanishes. Their appearances can be tracked by a dedicated detector developed by the Adventurer Guild Association. ‘Dungeon Tourism’—where ordinary people can tour the inside with an Adventurer escort without defeating the boss—is also a type of travel industry.
Adventurer
Individuals qualified to enter Dungeons. The qualification requires possessing a combat-type Gift that is officially recognized by the Adventurer Guild regulations. Combat Gifts are broadly categorized into Attack, Defense, Recovery, and Support types, with a few exceptions.
Ranks range from F to S. An A-Rank Adventurer is rare, with only about twenty in each major prefecture. S-Rank is extremely rare, fewer than ten in the entire country. Anyone A-Rank or higher can earn tens of millions of yen annually. Ranks are raised by continuously clearing Dungeons.
Guild
A voluntary organization of Adventurers. They form parties as needed to challenge Dungeons. Items acquired in a Dungeon belong to the Guild, and the rewards are distributed to the Adventurers after deducting the Guild’s operating costs. Solo Adventurers are not affiliated with a Guild.
Benefits of joining include simplified procedures for Dungeon entry and the flexibility to reform parties with other members. Many Adventurers join famous Guilds simply out of aspiration.
Adventurer Guild Association
A government-authorized association founded thirty years ago by Hidou Genroku (Kirino’s grandfather) when the Dungeons first appeared. It manages and operates all Adventurers and Dungeons in Japan. Without approval from the Association, no one can enter a Dungeon.
After an Appraisal, a person’s profile is registered in the Association’s system, but information on the highly confidential Gift is not. However, since Adventurer activities in Dungeons are often recorded on video, the Gift’s nature usually gets exposed. While radio signals don’t reach inside, electronic recording is possible, and many Adventurers carry recording devices to show off their exploits.
Japan Dungeon Guild Co., Ltd.
A company founded by Hidou Gori (Kirino’s father) while in college to support Adventurers. Its main business is buying, selling, and securing distribution channels for items acquired in Dungeons. They handle various other Adventurer-related tasks and are partnered with both the Adventurer Guild Association and the government.
Gift
A unique ability that humanity suddenly received thirty years ago, coinciding with the appearance of Dungeons. There’s no clear rule for when it appears, but most people receive one between childhood and elementary school. A certain number of people remain ‘Giftless’ for life. Gifts have branched-off, distinct abilities called Skills.
After regulations were established, a person’s Gift can be confirmed by an official with the ‘Appraisal’ Gift after their sixteenth birthday. Normally, being recognized by Appraisal grounds the Gift and allows the ability to be used. There are exceptions, such as when a person unknowingly uses their Gift or naturally discovers their own ability (Koharu and Kirino are examples), allowing them to use it earlier. It’s possible for the same Gift to manifest in multiple people; for example, while not common, holders of the ‘Appraisal’ Gift are scattered across Japan.
Skill
Skills are further detailed abilities branched off from a Gift. Generally, continuously using a Gift leads to learning new Skills. There’s no known rule for what Skills are learned or how many a person can gain.
Gifts are categorized as either Natural or Instructional type. Natural types (like Kirino, Asumi, Haruka, and Fuyutsuki) don’t learn Skills; instead, practice allows them to freely manipulate the overall breadth of their Gift’s power. Instructional types (like Hirose, Koharu, Hibiki, and Mizuki) learn specific Skills and must consciously use those Skills to activate their ability.

That about covers it! Next time, we’ll finally jump into Arc Two!
Get ready for some of Hirose’s new Skills and the introduction of new characters as well. We’re going to push the story, and the ecchi scenes, even further!
Notes:
• Kirino – Strikingly beautiful with blue long hair (F, 168cm), Kirino is gifted with ice magic and feels isolated because of her appearance. Hirose’s Beauty skill helps her improve her self-image and social comfort, directly affecting Kirino’s relationship with her family and classmates.
• Rindou Hibiki – Hirose’s cheerful, bold classmate who is the first to request his Beauty skill. Hibiki (F, pink bob hair, 158cm, F-cup) is outgoing, expressive about her interests, and quickly becomes Hirose’s girlfriend after an explicitly intimate scene. Her reactions help set the adult tone of the story.
• Kushima Koharu – A reserved, literature-loving girl (F, 156cm, G-cup, black braid) who struggles with family problems, including bruises and emotional stress. She experiences dramatic physical and emotional improvements after Hirose’s skill use, revealing a hidden wild side during explicit nighttime encounters.
• Ice Air – Kirino Hidou’s Gift, which allows her to manipulate cold air and flash-freeze atmospheric moisture. She demonstrates exceptional control over it, using it to regulate temperature precisely. For Asumi’s treatment, she wraps both the patient’s burns and Hirose’s hands in a layer of cold air to manage the extreme heat, enabling Hirose to use his healing skill without being harmed.
• Motoya Himari – Energetic classmate of Hibiki (F, 161cm, orange long hair, D-cup) who avoids the ‘gyaru’ label. Himari is lively and often envious or curious about developing romantic and physical relationships around her, seeking Hirose’s attention as the story progresses.
• Ihara Kairi – Short, pale blue hair and D-cup (F, 159cm), Kairi is Hibiki’s sharp-witted friend. She’s known for her cute smile but is frequently suspicious and inquisitive regarding her classmates’ secrets. Kairi’s interactions highlight Hirose’s growing circle and the effect of his skill.
• Kuzuhara Yamato – Hirose’s closest male friend (M, 172cm, black medium hair). Skilled in speed reading, he is supportive and shares Hirose’s adventurer dreams, but remains in the story as a steady background character, contrasting the chaos Hirose’s skill creates.
• Takanashi Honoka – Hirose’s mother (F, 40yo, black medium hair), a physician with a gentle but firm personality. Honoka works in mental health and uses her own healing Gift, occasionally stepping in to help or advise Hirose about his skill’s impact and the girls’ well-being.
• Fuyutsuki Saori – A guild staff member who possesses the ‘Appraisal’ Gift. She is called in to assess Asumi’s critical condition, identifies the injury as a magical curse, and reveals that Hirose might be the only one who can cure it, despite the professional risk to herself.
• Housaka Mizuki – A famous, admired model and A-rank adventurer (F, 18yo, 162cm, long blonde hair, E-cup). With intimidating skills and high appeal, Mizuki complicates Hirose’s situation, representing the broader implications of beauty and strength in-universe.
• Vacuum Slash – A skill used by Mizuki Housaka from her Gift ‘One-Thousand Blades’. It creates a powerful cleave of compressed air, effective against tough opponents like Volca-Haze, though it requires an opening to be fully effective.
• Shishido Asumi – Calm, beautiful fire mage and model (F, 18yo, 163cm, long straight black hair, F-cup). Suffering burns in the past, Asumi is healed by Hirose, symbolizing the skill’s healing and beautifying powers. She’s mature and quietly supportive.
• Flame Lord – The Gift possessed by Asumi Shishido. It allows her to generate and control powerful fire magic, though it proved largely ineffective offensively against the flame-resistant Volca-Haze, serving better as a defensive countermeasure.
• Heaven’s Thunder – The Gift possessed by Haruka Akise. It allows her to summon and control lightning magic, which she uses to paralyze targets like Volca-Haze, creating openings for Mizuki’s Vacuum Slash to land critical hits.
• Akise Haruka – Thunder mage caught between energetic allies (F, 18yo, 157cm, short gray hair, C-cup). A background party member using a staff, Haruka adds depth to the magical world and shows the variety of personalities and powers in Hirose’s orbit.
• Genroku – Kirino’s grandfather (M, 74yo, short white hair, 182cm), president of the Adventurer Guild. Though intimidating, he is deeply caring for Kirino, protecting her throughout the narrative. His character signals the balance of authority and affection.
• Kasumi – Kirino’s mother (F, 41yo, navy medium hair, H-cup, 165cm), so attractive and youthful she’s mistaken for Kirino’s sister. Kasumi’s presence adds complexity to family and beauty dynamics, and she shares scenes reflecting the story’s focus on transformation and relationships.
