Hero

The Hero (勇者, Yūsha) is the main male protagonist and the greatest warrior of the Human realm who gives up on his task of slaying the Demon King after he is convinced to join her effort to ensure a truly peaceful solution to the war between Humans and Demons.

Appearance
The Hero is a youthful and slim young man. He is of average height and weight. He has dark brown, messy hair, with bangs over his forehead, reaching his eyes. He has hazel-colored eyes which look very gentle and soft. He has a black collar around his thin neck.

The Hero wears medieval-style adventure clothes. A beige, long-sleeved sweater is covered by a light blue, long, vest-like clothing piece. The vest has a high and wide collar, no sleeves, and reaches to over his hips. He wears dark-beige, loose trousers and leather, knee-high shoes, and elbow-high gauntlets. Around his waist, he has a dark brown belt. He wears his sword on a buckle, draped diagonally over his shoulder.

Personality
The Hero has a very strong sense of justice. He believes that war is bad and that the Demons are pure evil. He is headstrong in his beliefs and courageous to take action against the evil-doers. When he was informed by the Demon King about the truth around the Human-Demon war, he wouldn't believe it first and was very skeptical, but had to give in eventually. He also has a great weakness to female beauty, which is why he was probably startled by the Demon King's appearance.

However, Hero is hiding his jaded outlook on the world. When questioned by Archer on his motivations for allying with humankind, he admits that he's only doing it because he has nothing better to do. Because of his powers, he isn't seen as "human" and has been mocked and treated with disdain by other humans.

In spite of that, however, he can't bring himself to hate humanity because he has seen how good humans are to other humans, and has decided that humans are mostly good. Since this world is important to other people, Hero can't sit back and watch it be destroyed by the Demons; that is his only reason for fighting.

Abilities
Teleportation Magic: The Hero possesses some kind of Teleportation Magic that allows him to travel considerable distances by the means of instant teleportation. A transparent sphere appears around him and includes any targets nearby, this way Demon King can accompany Hero on his travels.


 * Flight: The Hero is able to fly at great speeds using magic, and is able to boost his speed even further by casting. *Accelerate. When flying, he is surrounded by a shield which allows him to smash through even reinforced castle walls.


 * Summoning: The Hero is able to use magic to create and summon familiars, such as Nightmare Robin.


 * Offensive Magic: The Hero is capable of using magic for attack purposes to great effect. Spells such as Plasma Annihilator, with little effort, are capable of blowing up mountains. Other spells, such as Hero Skill: 48, is an enhancement spell that makes his blade invisible and capable of going through magic barriers as if they weren't there. Unfortunately for Female Knight, the method of using the latter skill appears to be so nonsensical to the point Hero is unable to teach to anyone else, even when using it in their sight and trying to explain how it works.


 * Healing: The Hero is able to use magic to cure injuries to both himself and to other people. It is sufficiently powerful enough to even repair detached limbs back to their stumps and leave no scarring. It is noted that of his former party, despite his profession as a frontline warrior, he was also one of the team medics.


 * Physical Combat Skills: The Hero is well-versed in using a sword for combat. Combined with his magical skills, such is his strength that he is able to single-handily fight against armies on his own. He is considered to be the strongest swordsman in the world, although as his abilities come naturally to him, he has difficulty in teaching others how to fight.

Equipment
He wields an ornate longsword, reminiscent of a European longsword.

Demon King (Queen)
When the hero first meets the Demon King (Queen) he shocked that she is a woman rather than a man when he attempts to kill her before she reveals her identity to him. Which stops him in his tracks and incidentally has his eyes staring at her chest. At first he was cautious of her but after having a conversation about the truth behind the war and being shown memories of the past he starts to be less guarded when around her. After some negotiations the two decided to make a contract with each other stating that each one belongs to another. After their contract was sealed the Demon King (Queen) made her feeling towards the hero obvious and that she has romantic feelings towards him. Over time the two had their "romantic" moments such as almost kissing each twice. During the Evil King arc the hero made his feelings known that he cares for the Demon King (Queen) and that the thought of seeing how sad she would be if he were to die felt unbearable in the end. At the end it is shown that the two are romantically in love with each other.
