Introduction
A Consumer Electronics Comedy Woven by the Candidate for Hero and the Demon King's daughter in a magnificent fantasy world!
“Fuhahahaha! Congratulations on reaching my register, Customer!”
Story
On the day before his Hero Exam, the Demon King was defeated, so now that Raul can't become a Hero, he settles down to work at Magic Shop Leon, a small consumer electronics store in the Royal Captial. After leaving his heroics behind and becoming a store clerk, Raul has been busy every day. However, his average life takes a great turn when he meets a young girl seeking a part time job. Her name is Fino. She's the daughter of the defeated Demon King.
Characters
Raul Chaser
VA: Keisuke Kōmoto Age: 17 Former Hero candidate. At the Hero Training Academy, he was the top of his class, and the closest man to becoming the next Hero. Now he's a full time employee at one of the Royal Capital's magic shops. He still clings to his desire to be the Hero, but he reluctantly found a job. When he gets put in charge of training Fino, he starts gaining motivation towards his job. He's maintained the abilities he cultivated when he was aiming to be a Hero, and he can still defeat monsters in a single blow. His retorts to Fino are already reflexive. “What do you think you're doing to our customers!” |

Fino Bloodstone
VA: Azusa Tadokoro Age: 15 The Demon King's daughter. Since the Demon King was defeated, she's become an employee-in-training at Leon in the Royal Capital. She lacks a bit of common sense, but she's very honest, hard-working, and straightforward. She possesses vast magical power that has yet to awaken, so she can't use magic without channeling though a magic item. However, she also lacks control and occasionally causes the magic item to go berserk. She inherited her father's loud laughter and intimidating air of hostility, allowing her to break the spirit of thieves in an instant. “Fuhahahaha! Congratulations on reaching my register, Customer!” |

Airi Alternate
VA: Kanae Iwasaki Age: 17 Former Hero Candidate. Raul's rival from their Hero Training Academy days. She was called “All-A” due to her excellent marks. After the Hero policy was repealed, her pride kept her from telling Raul that she found a job at the major magic shop chain, Amada Magic, and she feels like that isn't where she belongs. She's interested in Raul as more than just a rival, and seeing Fino get along with him makes her angry. She has a complex towards women with big breasts. “You disappoint me, Raul Chaser!!” |
|
Seara August
VA: Maina Shimagata Age: Unknown Manager of Leon Royal Capital Shop. She's a beautiful young girl who looks like she's in her teens, and she has a gentle, healing aura. However, she's very strict when it comes to business, and quite the clever one. She is kind, but also strict enough to give her bread crusts and tell her “You'll have to make do with this until you can earn better on your own.” She's actually the very person who defeated Fino's father, the Demon King. “(Smile) It's an order as your boss♪” |
|
Viser Crossroad
VA: Yoshihisa Kawahara Age: Late 20s Vice-Manager of Leon Royal Capital Shop. He's a talented ME (Magic Engineer) and an expert on the construction of magical incantations. However, he's been through hard times with exploitative businesses that left him traumatized. He's always sighing and thinking negatively. He gives off an aura of not wanting to work. He's best friends with Elt, Seara's older brother, and her childhood friend. “I don't want to wooooork…. The company can explode!” |
|
Nova Luminous
VA: Madoka Sowa Age: Unknown A part-timer at Leon Royal Capital Shop. She has a sexy body with big breasts and a big butt, and she's a cute girl who's a bit airheaded. She doesn't get piercings or anything to improve her strong sex appeal, and she's surprisingly earnest. She's very naïve and isn't fazed when her older coworkers touch her. While she tends to panic when things get busy, she's also so clueless she'll keep serving customers without realizing a thief is there. “But, but, you can you touch if you want.” |
|
Loa Peripheral
VA: Kumi Takaragi Age: Unknown Leon Royal Capital Shop's engineer. She's in charge of repairs and the air conditioner. Fundamentally, she's quite, but she becomes very talkative when it concerns machines and technology. However, when that happens she starts using difficult technical terms and verbose phrases. She stays calm no matter what, and expresses little emotion. It's hard to tell what she's thinking. Usually she's out on her personal carriage to conduct repairs, so she's rarely in the store. Her technical skill is solid, and Raul and the others look up to her as their senior. “… This screw is beautiful.” |

Elsa Crucial
VA: Emi Nitta Age: Unknown
Height: 162cm Weight: 56kg Three Sizes: B84 (C Cup) W61 H83 Blood Type: Unknown Hobbies: Colleting information on magic items, expanding magic shops Favorite Food: Unknown Favorite Color: Unknown Her tastes (fetishes) in men: Unknown Employee at LAWSON Royal Capital Shop. She's bright, and one of the rare few people who can talk casually to Raul. For example, they can have a casual chat in the classroom, but she's not a girl he sees a romantic interest. Although it seems Elza has a thing for Raul on the other hand… She's an extreme magic item aficionado. She's what you'd call a consumer electronics otaku. She was born in the rural country where no shops existed, but she read through catalogs until the pages wore out. “Raul! Don't forget the new refrigerator catalog!” |

Rhamdimia de Accememor
VA: Natsumi Yamada Age: Unknown Employee at LAWSON Royal Capital Shop. Her tone is often faked politeness as she spouts fair arguments, but she also has an Enshuu accent. She hates her name being shortened to LAM-chan. She seems to have an overbearing personality, but she keeps careful watch around here and shows consideration for others. She's actually a demon, and heiress to the demon world's famous Aximemor family. After the demon world broke down, she decided to emigrate to the human world and values coexisting with humans. “Lamdimia Aximemor! Don't shorten it!” |
