Sakata Hiroaki

Summary
Hiroaki graduated from his high school while being someone acknowledge for his good school grades, he failed the exams for entering the university and after that he became a hikkikomori, the year after failing his exams he expended it full reading novels, playing RPGs and VNs, one day while he was lying in his bed playing to some game on his tablet he was summoned to another world as a hero.

The first thing that Hiroaki saw after being summoned was Flora that approached to him asking if he was a hero, after he received an explanation from Flora and Hugenot of his new situation, because his situation was similar to some of the novels that he read, he has lived convinced that from now on what awaits for him is the otaku dream of another world summoning with cheat powers and having each every cute girl that comes his way falling for him for no reason, just because he was the protagonist and the cute girl was a cute girl, and what cute girls do is to fall for the protagonist.

By inflating his ego enough Hugenot deceived him into accepting to be the Hugenot's faction hero and to help them to retake the Bertram kingdom from the Arbor faction, since he joined restoration he spent his time basically hanging out with Flora and Roana and trying to pick up any other girl around, he was made part of Hugenot's entourage while he visited different influencial people from the neighbour Galarc kingdom in the search for support to his faction like Liselotte and the king François, he was never shown apporting nothing to this reunions.

Even though Hugenot and others tried to convince him of receiving combat training he never accepted, he agreed esporadically to spar with some knights fro showing off in front of some girl defeating him, outside for that it's known of him having any other kind of daily routine or training, he doesn't believe them necessary either, he sees himself as some kind of map-bomb, that if he ever needs to fight with launching some mass of water to whatever will be enough, in the future Rio would prove him wrong.

Appearance
The book described him as average in every aspect, face, height and built, his hair is short and spiky, his facial feature are kinda rough and wild, he has a sharp menacing gaze just like he's always pissed off at something.

Personality
He's always putting on airs due to being a hero, talking big of himself with an arrogant tone, but he's someone with low selfsteem, since as a neet he fits in his concept of loser, Hiroaki won't be able of avoiding to feeling inferior and hating those who fit in his concept of winner or those who he considers to be above him in any aspect, he doesn't like to spend time with other japanese because when talking to them it's impossible to hide how average he's compared to them and because when asked about his life before the summoning they will know immediately what kind of loser he used to be.

If he hears of something other than himself as good or the best he will be pissed off and will begin to question the greatness of that anything/anyone else, he wants everyone around him to just pay attention to him, if anyone calls more the attention than him he would look bad at that person, he always wants to be the center and the topic of the conversation and everyone to just obendiently listen to his stories, if he listens to people telling their own piece of mind about something he will tell his just after, if he sees people talking among themselves in group of several people with him included, even if he was talking on his own with someone else he will want to be a part of the other conversation too, he always misunderstands on purpose that the reason why everyone pays so much attention to him is for him himself and not because he's a hero, when he's interested in a girl he will always believe to be treated specially by her even if she really doesn't, if that girl doesn't show at any given moment all the interest on him or in spending time together that he would like he would make up in his head a reason for that so he won't have to face the fact of not being really special to her.

He keep not "read-the-air" of the situation around him yet always ask other people to "read-the-air" or maybe read his mood, when he want something but didn't get it from someone, he deem that one unable to "read-the-air", he likes to look down on people, but really hate when he feels that someone look down on him, even when they are a king, that he didn't get treated with enough respect.

According Cosette, he’s an overconfident and intrusive man, Like the dimwitted son of a noble who mistook his family’s money and power for his own talent, Satsuki see him as a really rude man, Christina see him as a really bothersome man, Rui call him unelegance, or simply don't have class, while Natalie see him as an idiot.

Template Summoning
While the Hugenot's faction was marching towards Rodania the day of the hero summoning, the summoning stone inside Flora's luggage began to float in the air while shining, after putting distance between itself and the people a great pillar of light shot out from it, after the pillar disappeared Hiroaki was there with his back against the ground, Flora approached him and asked him if he was the hero, Hiroaki asked her several questions for trying to understand his new situation, when he realized that he has just been summoned, he then began to admonish Flora with a sarcastic voice for summoning him without having a way of sending him back and to accuse her of kidnapping him when he wasn't even bothered for being summoned to another world, he just said all of that for acting self important.

Later, when Hugenot tried to convince him of joining them as hero, at the beginning he refused that if he was a hero summoned for fighting against the demon king the troubles between humans weren't his problem, that he didn't trust Hugenot because in the stories nobles like him were just unscrupolous people, but Hugenot managed easily enough to convince him with some praised and making some whore to raise his confidence in the bed.

More or less a month later he went with Hugenot, Flora and Roana to Liselotte's house for negotiating her in order to get economical support for the Hugenot faction, then he would fall for Liselotte and would mistake her lip servise as his hostress as the truth and her questions about Japan as she interested on him, when in fact, she was just trying to discover if Hiroaki's Japan was the same than the one on Rikka's memories and if he realized about the products of the Rikka firm having the same names as the things from earth, she was trying to know if Hiroaki discovered her secret, but Hiroaki always called the similitudes between the food she served and the food from earth as a part of the template, Hiroaki left Amande before the monster raid that would happen five days later.

Galwark Ball
Before the beginning of the evening party he went to Liselotte's and her family's waiting room because he wanted to greet her and seeing if she was fine after the monster raid, he praised Liselotte's looks and talked a little to her father then they were called to the venue, Hiroaki entered the venue a little after Liselotte's family and Rio, he was satisfied for receiving everyone's attention when he entered, after him Satsuki and Galarc's royal family entered, while entering the venue he was thinking that he did well in not choosing the adventurer route and forming an harem like that, that he was right in becoming a hero because that way he would be able of meeting better girls, he then was upset because the nobles were more interested on Satsuki than him, Roana flirted a little with him for cheering up and they listened together to Hugenot giving Restoration's foundation speech, after that François asked him and Satsuki to promise their cooperation in front of everyone and he did so why pissed off inside to François not talking to him with a humbler tone.

After seeing Rio and Liselotte dancing together he decided to dance too, he took Flora out for a dancing while asking Roana to ask Liselotte in his place to dance a song with him after Flora, after the end of his dance with Flora he went to where Roana and Liselotte were and asked Liselotte to dance with him the next song, he saw Rio and Satsuki prepared for dancing together, he looked smugly Rio when seeing himself surrounded of Flora, Roana and Liselotte, then he began to advise Liselotte to not hang out with Rio because when she turned her back on him he was already with a different woman, he shoot one last smug look and Rio when entering the dancing space with Liselotte while she was secretly apologizing to Rio for Hiroaki's rudeness.

Next day, Satsuki approached Rio for consulting him about the best way of talking to Takahisa about Miharu, Aki and Masato, when their talk ended, Takahisa and Hiroaki approached them bringing with them their companions, after that while Satsuki was taken her chance while dancing with Takahisa for telling him about Mihaur and his siblings a group of twenty assassins entered, when they began to get near the princesses amd heroes, all the group there got close to each other for making a magic barrier, Hiroaki out of fear run towards the group that was going to cast the barrier while screaming, in his way he bumped into Flora making her fall to the ground, because of that she wasn't able of entering the barrier herself but Rio protected her from the assassins, Hiroaki went to ask her if she was fine and how did she fell because he didn't realize at all that he was the one who bumped into her, then he saw Liselotte who was asking Rio if he was hurt and she could help him in anyway when he offered the knights his help for removing the assassins' corpses, he went to her side and pulled her away by the arm so forcefully that he even hurted her.

The next day when he heard François naming Rio the black knight, he didn't do anything that day.

After Party
The day after the end of the evening party he was to Liselotte's house for having a meal with her, Flora and Roana, while eating he began to complain about how he missed rice, Liselotte gave him a little surprise having risotto brought in, Flora and Roana liked the risotto too and began to talk about inviting Satsuki the next time and having a tea party with her because they heard her to say that she missed rice too, then they began to talk about the duel between Satsuki and Rio, Hiroaki then began to say that Rio was just able of winning against Satsuki because she was easy on him, that if a hero releases his true power anyone i front of him would be reduced to nothing, lastly he refused to go to a tea party with Satsuki because he didn't want to have to get along with a normie now that he's in another world.

Some days later Hugenot convinced him of getting engaged with Flora and Roana, he accepted Roana just for the looks and because he liked her aptitude, he accepted Flora because if you make an harem in the other world it was common sense to have a princess as the legal wife and that if he was going to be polygamic a legal wife like her with a weak character it would be better, he then asked Hugenot from who he received marriage proposals already, he was a little disappointed at not having yet one from Liselotte and thought that for sake he would reserve the second of third seat gladly

Dragon Accident
Hiroaki was attending a tea party held by Lisette Gregory with Flora and Roana, they congratulated their engagement without any feeling into it and began to try to get closer to Hiroaki while he was enjoying the harem-like situation, the tea party ended and he promised to see the grils again three days later.

After leaving the evening party Flora asked him why did he promised to attend the tea party three days later when they had to go tomorrow to Rodania for meeting Christina, Hiroaki admitted to have forgotten about Christina even though he was told about it several days ago, then he decided to make Flora go alone to Rodania because the tea party was more important for him than Christina, that she would come Galarc's capital soon anyway and he could see her then, after he said that they encountered Satsuki who came back from her daily training, Satsuki recriminated him to not do anything more than meeting with girls and then he said to her that it would be better for her to act more girly because nobody likes strong women.

Duel
While Flora was still missing and the air travelling still forbidden due to the possible presence of the dragon Hiroaki forced the Galarc kingdom to prepare a magic ship for going until Rodania, once there he entered Rodania's audience room shouting to Hugenot and complaining to him for letting Flora go missing, Christina's glare silenced him, he began to analyze on his head the difference between the two sisters, then by Christina's petition he agreed to breaak his engagement with Flora thinking that there wasn't any point in being engaged with someone that is highly likely dead, since then he spend his time as usualy, hangin out with girls when he wanted, even entering Christina's office in the middle of her work or when she just wanted to talk to another people like Celia and Roana and forced himself into her.

Two/three weeks later Rio arrived to Rodania bringing the missing Flora with him, when she saw Flora again he said to her to change the travelling clothes that she was wearing and after putting a dress on to throw them away, Flora refused while clinggin her clothes saying that they were Rio's present, Hiroaki didn't liked that, when the two left the room with Roana he noticed the gaze full of love that Flora turned to Rio and began to be jealous, later that night, while celebrating Flora's return he didn't stand how Rio kept being treated as the center of attention and finally decided to try to make something for making him look bad, while Rio was in the middle of inviting Christina to dance with him by Flora's suggestion Hiroaki appeared and challenged him to the duel.

The next afternoon Hiroaki gathered all of Restoration's noble's on a training field on the city's outskirts, Christina appointed Alfred as the referee and after a little reminder of the rules the fight began, Hiroaki tried to end the duel with just an attack but Rio parried it easily and he fell to the ground, Hiroaki kept charging at Rio and slashing at him but none of his attacks were able of passing his defense, Rio kept provoking Hiroaki making him rise the degree of his body strenghtening, but Hiroaki wasn't able yet of connecting a hit, after saying to Hiroaki that he didn't know anything about swordcraft or martial arts he called him the weakes hero and ended the fight circulating behind him after dodging one of his slashes and hitting his back with his sword, then Alfred declared Rio's victory.

Hiroaki refused to accept it and began to demand to Rio to take back his words of him being the weakest hero, that he just lost because he wasn't allowed to use the power of the sword for controlling the water, Rio listened to Hiroaki's excuses a little more and agreed to give him a rematch allowing him to use his water-controlling abilities in exchange of him granting one of his petitions if he loses again, the second round started and Hiroaki summoned a mass water, he tried to give it the form of Yamate no Orochi but he was just able of creating five heads, he them began to swing the dragon heads at Rio, Rio dodged them while wondering about the lack of dragon heads, after observing Hiroaki for a while he deemed that he was already giving his all and that if he defeated him now he couldn't put excuses again, he passed through the dragon heads, circulated behind Hiroaki's back and put his sword on his neck, the shock of the defeat made Hiroaki to lose control of his powers and two of the dragon heads went flying towards the audience, Rio destroyed the dragon heads and gave Christina the right of using his bet with Hiroaki for punishing him for this, Christina scolded Hiroaki for almost killing the audiences and forbade him to go to the Galarc kingdom again for continue his routine of just having tea parties with girls.

Template Summoning
A pillar of light shot up to skies from one of Rodania's gardens, after it disappeared, Hiroaki was lying there in the ground with his tablet in one hand and a sword in the other, he was worried at the beginning about the people around him wearing armors and having swords, he readid his sword too and posed his tablet as a shield for some reason, Flora approached that Hiroaki and asked if he was the hero, he was mesmerized by Flora but regained himself and began to make her questions about where he was and why, he was taken to drawing room by Hugenot and Flora where he was explained how he was summoned as a hero.

Liselotte Cretia
Three months after the summoning, Hugenot convinced Hiroaki somehow of being his faction's hero and was made a part of Hugenot's entourage while making visits to the influencial people around them in the search for support for his faction, now concretly was having dinner at Liselotte's house with Hugenot, Flora and Roana, Hiroaki is delighted for having for the first time in months thing like pasta, after the meal Liselotte made him several questions, like how was he able of talking Stralh's language, and if he found so different the other world from the earth, Liselotte was trying to guess if Hiroaki had discovered her secret but Hiroaki that had already fallen for Liselotte misunderstook that as her personal interest in her, he began to say with a smug face how there things similar to those from earth here and there and about the translation magic in his divine weapon and called all of it just part of the template, when Liselotte asked the meaning of the world template he readily explained about how he mean things that were typical in novels, he was completely convinced in his head that he was impressing Liselotte but the only thing he did was to make clear for her that he was an otaku, when the talk about Hiroaki ended Liselotte talked with Hugenot about the reason of their visit, Liselotte gave Hugenot a copy of the contract with the list of conditions that he has to drink in order to have her as sponsor, in one or two days Hiroaki left Liselotte's house towards Galarc's capital for negotiating for the sake of forming an alliance with the Galarc kingdom too.

Road Ambush
Five weeks after visiting Liselotte's mansion, four days after Celia's kidnapping, Hiroaki was going back to Rodania when a black dragon was seen in the distance, the magic ship made an emergency landing in a city called Nor near Amande, a little after him Liselotte's magic ship landed in Nor too when she was going back to Amande after attending Celia's wedding, when everyone gathered in the house of the city's governor for discussing what to do about the dragon Hiroaki forced Liselotte to let him go with her to Amande as her escort while talking about some heroic ideals and aesthetics that he doesn't belive or fit in, that everything would be fine because he would protect her woth his Yamana no Orochi, he materialized his tachi and began to boast about his power while explaining the meaning of the name, the otherworlders were making ohhh sounds and Hiroaki was making a smug face because of that but Liselotte was only even more sure about how serious Hiroaki's chuunibyou was.

The next morning Hiroaki rode carriage with Liselotte, Flora and Roana, outside the carriage was surrounded by Liselotte's eight maids, Hugenot was in another carriage behind them surrounded by 20-25 knoghts, inside the carriage Hiroaki began to talk endlessly about his own stories with Roana making the conversation go the way he wants, while Hiroaki was talking with just Roana Liselotte tried to talk a little with just Flora who was the less talkative, when she finally was able of making talk to her Hiroaki interrupted them and forced them to include hin in the talk, something that annoyed Liselotte but she hid it skillfully.

When the group was at just an hour by carriege from Amande Reis monsters began to attack it, Hiroaki was panicking hearing stones hitting on the carriage exterior, he began to scream things like how when were the soldiers to supposed to defeat all the monsters, why isn't the battle over yet, is it really fine outside, is it really safe inside the carriage, making Liselotte complete annoyed and exasperated at him, Liselotte began to curse in her head how he wasn't just anxious but that it seemed that he wanted to make the rest as panicked as him, seeing him like that she began to think too what about he protecting everyone if something happens,Reis shot from the sky a great light ball, Hiroaki then run away from inside the carriage completely took over by the panic, Roana followed after him and Lastly Liselotte didn't have any other option than to leave too while saying Flora to always stay by her side, after going out of the carriage feeling the atmosphere of a real battle for the first time completely shocked and creeped Hiroaki, he just covered in fear behind the soldiers until a Rio appeared and saved Liselotte's and Flora's lifes.

Amande's Raid
Everyone is introducing themselves to Rio after he saved them, he was pissed off because Rio was the one receiving everyone's attention, he introduced himself to Rio making emphasys in him being the hero with an important tone trying to compensate hoe he felt inferior for not participating in the battle, Rio was able of somehow handling him by acting humble in front of him, while Rio was making emergency reparations to the carriage that the minotaur broke he waited with Flora and Roana on the other, he then heard everyone praising Rio strength when he pulled out from the road the great stone sword piercing the ground, he then went and picked up the sword from the ground just for trying to look strong too in front of everyone, after the group finally resumed the trip to Amande Rio was invited to ride the same carriage that him, Flora, Liselotte, Roana and Hugenot hoping to be able of gaining more information about who Rio really is, but instead of asking politely and indirectly Hiroaki just began to rudely interrogate Rio and saying that his story was suspicious and him shady, making everyone exasperated and shocked at his lack of tact, Liselotte was directly angered inside her head but stayed silent because censuring a hero in public was impossible for a noble.

After arriving to Amande and sending Rio to an inn owned by her Liselotte took Hiroaki's group to her house for letting them rest after the battle, while in resting in Liselotte's garden Hiroaki listened to Stead and Alphonse trying to pick up two girls working for Liselotte while talking a little about the previous battle, he decided to join the conversation for some reason and completely ruined the mood talking about how it's bad manners to steal someone else's kill as if he was in some kind of RPG, the next afternoon he was present too when Rio was invited to eat at Liselotte's house as an apology for the trouble with Alhponse and Stead, Hiroaki greeted Rio at Liselotte's dining room acting as if he was the owner of the place, after that he began to remember to Rio that he was hero and Rio not for the sake of acting superior in front of him, Rio decided to keep his humble act in front of Hiroaki thingking that it would be the best way of handling his mood, behind Rio Liselotte was getting even more exasperated at him, when Rio left later Hiroaki was left alone with Flora and Roana,there he said to Flora that she was acting strange that day because of how she was being strangely proactive in talking and trying to get closer to Rio when she never acts that way around him.

The next day the same as the rest of Amande Hiroaki was woken up by the minotaur's roars when they broke Amande's gates, He, Flora, Roana and Hugenot were taken to a drawing room where they were supposed to wait until the battle is over, there were three knights inside, Stead included, as escorts and another two watching the gate outside, without them realizing it Lucius killed those two and Reis released inside the room the demonized Alphonse and four grey revenants, Alphonse made three of the four revenant to attack the three knights inside the room, Hiroaki tried to cut Alphonse but he dodged and sent Hiroaki flying with a punvh on the face, he put the fourth grey revenant in charge of not letting Hiroaki to interfere in his fun killing Hugenot slowly, while all of that happened Roana made Flora to get out of the room with Lucius help without realizing that she gave her to her kidnapper, after Flora left the room Hiroaki standed again angered for receiving Alphonse's punch and killed the four grey revenants, he tried to kill Alphonse now but he dodgeg his slashes, he shot a water mass at him but he dodged it too and run away, he pursued Alphonse until outside the room where Reis attacked him by surprise and let him unconscious.

Later when Rio came back from searching traces of Lucius' and Reis's escape route, Liselotte gathered everyone on the same room for exchanging information, at that time Hiroaki was always grumpy and sarcastic because Rio was the M.V.P. and not him, you did well for not being a hero, I'd like to be in your place and having everyone praising me, the conversation moved to Rio's relationship with Lucius, Roana by elimination gave herself the rol of asking Rio about it, when Rio reveled that Lucius killed his mother in front of him when he was five everyone got blue faced, Hiroaki began to say stupid things like you had it hard and I wouldn't like to be in your place making everyone exasperated at him, Liselotte was even angered inside her head but she repressed it somehow because it's impossible to censore a hero in public, Hugenot then explained to Rio how Lucius used to be the heir of the fallen Orgueille house, how he used to be candidate for the "king's sword" and how his house fell because a group of higher ranked nobles who didn't like him plotter against him, but he didn't give all the details because he didn't know them, after that the talk ended and Hiroaki kept staying free at Liselotte's house for another three weeks until the ban on the magic ships' use due to the dragon sightment was lifted.

Galarc Ball
First day of the evening party, Rio wore his formal suit and went to the waiting room assigned to Lizelotte and her family for waiting there with them until Miharu and Satsuki are done changing clothes, Lizelotte’s family receives Rio with smiles, Rio praises Lizelotte and she smiles, her older brother that is there with his fiancee teases her saying that she’s strangely happy for Rio’s praise, Lizelotte protest a little red faced, after a little more of talk Hiroaki comes in with Flora and Roana, Hiroaki says that he came because it’s been a lot of time since he last saw Lizelotte as if just that was enough excuse for intrussing the family time, Roana properly apologizes for intruding with a troubled face because she understands how imposing Hiroaki is being, Flora is nervous when seeing Rio again, she doesn’t know well what to do or say, when Hiroaki sees Lizelotte’s father he begins to try to act politer than usually as if saying damn the father-in-law is here I have to act correctly, Cedric just smiles and tells everyone to sit on the sofas there, Hiroaki sits between Flora and Roana while sulking because Lizelotte chose a sit away from him but close to Rio, Satsuki and Miharu enter the room too and ask Rio how do they look, they smile when Rio says that both are beautiful and Flora is envious seeing Rio praising the other girls and being friendly to them, Miharu and Satsuki sit with Lizelotte.

When Satsuki and Miharu sit down they and Hiroaki introduces themselves and talk a little about them, how they were friends in the middle school, how they were summoned after the high school entrance ceremony, how Rio saved Miharu from the slave trader, Hiroaki looks at Miharu as if saying that she could really be sold for a high price, Miharu is uncomfortable, Lizelotte sighs in her head, Satsuki is annoyed and sulking, she thinks in her head that Hiroaki is a really rude man, that it’s boring because he’s here, that she wants Rio to be where he is, she came here because she wanted to sit and talk to Rio, Satsuki then asks about the Hiroaki before the summoning, Hiroaki says he’s 19, Satsuki asks if he was a universitary student, Hiroaki denies it with a complicated face, he says he failed the exams, Satsuki thinking by Hiroaki’s face that he has some complex about that says to him that he doesn’t need to be ashamed of that, Hiroaki agrees on the surface but in his head he’s convinced that Satsuki said that for making him looking bad on purpose, now for him Satsuki is that conceited woman, a knights knocks the door and says that it’s almost time for the Kreitia household to enter the venue, Satsuki goes to where the royal family is and Hiroaki, Flora and Roana go back to their waiting room too.

When Hiroaki entered the venue with Flora and Roana he was thinking in his head how he was right in not making a harem after making it big as adventurer, that he was right being the hero of the Hugenot's faction that living as a noble he would be able of meeting better girls than living as an adventurer, after that he was pissed of because he thought that the nobles were paying more attention to Satsuki than him, then Roana began to flirt with him for cheering him up, then they listened together to Hugenot giving Restoration's foundation speech, François declares that the Galarc kingdom will ally itself with Restoration and says the heroes to say their opinions, Satsuki says that as long as they don’t astray from the right path she will be Galarc’s hero and will recognize Restoration, Hiroaki is sulking in his head because he thinks François isn’t acting humble enough to him and makes an oath similar to Satsuki’s without any feeling on it, then he spent all the time greeting Galarc's nobles until the end of the first day of the party.

The next day, the waiting room for the royalties and the special guest for waiting there until the party begins, Rui approaches Hiroaki for saying to him how he laments that they belong to conflicting groups despite being fellow japanese, Hiroaki doesn’t want to talk to him at all he just say him things like get away ikemen yaro or get lost hafu yaro, Rui tries to introduce himself to Roana, but Hiroaki just says to him to not talk to her, when Rui sees Flora he asks her if she’s Cristina’s little sister, Flora is surprised when hearing about Cristina and Hiroaki says to Rui that he doesn’t want to spent any time with him, Cristina enters the room at that moment and asks Hiroaki if he’s fine with her that is princess, Hiroaki shamelessly tries to pick her up despite how he treated Rui just before when he talked to Flora and Roana and Cristina being Flora’s, her current partner, older sister, Cristina narrows her eyes after being able of learning what kind of thing Hiroaki is just from his change of attitude right now, because due to the nobles from Arbor faction keeping an eye on her she is forced to talk coldly to Roana and Flora and just tell to them things like it’s been a while or I don’t have words for those who abandoned the kingdom..

Takatrash enters the room with Miharu and Liliana and Rio enters with Satsuki and Charlotte, Satsuki says to Rui with a cordial smile that it’s been a while, Rui returns the smile and says as expected the daughter of the Sumeragi’s group, he introduces himself to Takatrash and greets him shaking his hand, he tries to do the same with Miharu but Takatrash gets in the way saying that Miharu is bad with men, but it was just him acting possessive, Miharu shakes Rui’s hand anyway and says to Takatrash that he was rude, Liliana introduces herself and says to Rui she can’t take his hand because in this world a woman holding a man’s hand in public means to favor that man, Charlotte says the same and mocks a little Takatrash’s jealously, she asks Rui about his relationship with Cristina, Rui says that Cristina is a splendid lady but he already likes another girl, Cristina just says too that she was just told to assist the party with him, Charlotte is let down because of how dry their relationship is.

Rui introduces himself to Rio and he just shakes Rui’s hand normally while introducing himself as Haruto, Rui is curious about the japanese name and about Rio that seems to be half japanese just like him, Cristina is curious too about him, she wonders about his good manners and etiquette and being the one accompanying Satsuki and Charlotte despite being a commoner, and about who he is because the same as Flora she feels Rio’s face looks familiar, Charlotte asks sarcastically to Cristina if she didn’t hear about Rio yet, she talks about how he saved Miharu and about Amande’s battle, she says that he saved Flora from her kidnapper too, Cristina remembers about Rio saving Flora nine years ago when hearing that, he compares Rio’s face with the man in front of her and find them similar but she discards the idea saying herself that it’s impossible due to the different hair color and that Charlotte must mean something different.

Rui then asks to the other heroes if they were able to find to any clue about a way to return to Japan and if they had a dream with a voice just one sidedly saying to them how they were heroes and the way of using the divine weapons, they say that they don’t know of a way of returning and that their dreams were the same, Hiroaki and Rui are called to inside the venue, Hiroaki leaves the venue while Rui and Satsuki comment between them how his attitude isn’t adequate for the high society and how he doesn’t know the right way of wearing his formal clothes, basically how he lacks elegance, and Rui leaves with Cristina, next Takatrash with Liliana and Miharu and lastly Rio with Satsuki and Charlotte.

At the beginning everyone just greeted nobles like the previous day, when the time for dancing was about to begin a group of twenty assassins entered the venue and Hiroaki just saw from behind a barrier how Rui and Rio defeated some of them.

The next morning when Hiroaki listened to Rio choosing Amakawa as his house name Hiroaki was really curious about that obviously japanese name, later when he saw Rio entering the venue he didn't know if envying for how much attention called the alias black knight or if pitying him for having such a chuunish alias, when he listened to Rui asking Rio about the origins of the Amakawa family name, he joined the talk too curious about it, he then listened with Rui and Takahisa to Rio's explanation about his parents being from the Yagumo region, and about how hard it is to go through the wildland, after that Liselotte asked Rio to dance with her and he watched them from the distance annoyed at the intimate atmosphere and closeness that was felt coming from the two.

The next morning he saw the fight between Rio and Satsuki and the morning next to that the Takahisa against Rio.

After Party
Nine days after the kidnapping incident Hiroaki is attending a tea party held by Lisette Gregory accompanied by Flora and Roana, Hiroaki has been meeting non-stop with young noble girls from the Galarc kingdom, the girls are talking about her hobbies to Hiroaki and to trying to know his tastes, he promised to meet with the girls again another day while enjoying to the maximum his harem situation, full of pride and arrogance because he knew that all the girls there were aiming to be his wives, completely convinced in his head that he really gained the girls over with his charm and not because of his position as hero, then changed the topic to Takahisa kidnapping Miharu, all the girls stopped talking because for them as believers in the gods it was impossible to speak bad of a hero, Roana tried to made Hiroaki to change the topic after explaining to Hiroaki why to talk about that was a troublesome matter for everyone, but Hiroaki still didn't change his mind and said his opinion full of prejudice of Takahisa, how surely he was always a winner back in Japan, how he must have thought after coming to another world and having cheat powers that he could do even more as he wanted, how because of that it must have been difficult for him to accept that he wasn't the protagonist and because of that he became the NTR bastard without realizing, that he would like him to be more concious of his position, to not do susch stupidities because one hero does something bad he worsend the image of the rest of the heroes too, Roana praised Hiroaki's conciousness of his own position without any feeling on it for him to change the topic quickly, but Hiroaki took it as a real praise, after a little more of talk the tea party ended.

Engagement
Three days later, in Galarc’s castle, Hiroaki has just entered with Flora and Roana to an office lent to duke Hugenot, Hugenot says to Hiroaki that he asked him to come to his office for talking about the marriage proposals that he received, Hiroaki asks him from who did the proposals came, then Hugenot answers that a lot and that the most noticiable ones are Rosalie(Charlotte's little sister)and Lizette Gregory( The daughter of another duke from Galarc kingdom that isn't a rival from Lizelotte's father not a friend either), so to say the ones that it would be the most beneficial for Restoration if Hiroaki marries them.

When he remembers that Rosalie is just thirteen he discards the idea, and he doesn't agree yet to marry Lizette just because her name overlaps a little with Lizelotte and in his head it doesn't sound well to be Lizelotte's and Lizette's husband, of course he doesn't say this out loud, this is just in his head, his official answer is that in his world nineteen years is seen as too early to get married.

That he isn't really that fond of having more than a wife but if even reluctantly he has to take several wifes then they have to agree with no having ranks between then other than Flora being the legal wife and the others obediently be just the side rooms, and having arguments between them behind the scenes is forbidden, because in the end the one that will suffer the most because of that would be he himself, after this he accepts to be Flora's fiançe just because if you go to another world and make a harem is common sense to have at least one princess as your wife, and he accepts Roana too jus for her looks, but the two of then have to agree to wait for the wedding to be after he gets the right mood to marry them, he asks Flora with a sug face if she isn’t happy while and she answers that she will do her best effort with a small voice without any feeling on it.

Duel
Eight days later, completely convinced in his head that the reason he hadn't received yet a marriage proposal from Liselotte is that she was busy with her job as Amande's governor and the Rikka firm's CEO, Hiroaki decided to go to Amande for giving Liselotte a chance for confessing to him at once, a little after arriving at Liselotte's house a warning about an army from the Beltram kingdom gathered near the national border came. Liselotte boarded her magic ship with Hiroaki's group until the fortress near the border.

While they were there a soldier sayd to them that Rio was in the gates asking for permission to enter, Liselotte ordered to open the gates and Rio's and Christina's group was at the other side, Flora run towards Christina and hugged her, while everyone was looking at the sisters hugging each other with warm gazes, Hiroaki went towards the japanese.looking Rei and Kota and asked who they were, if they were japanese or heroes too, after that Charles and Alfred were took to a cell while Christina and Rio explained to everyone why the army near the border and why they were together in such place.

When Hiroaki knew Celia was 21 he called her legal loli in front of everyone and maked Liselotte exasperates at his comments that don't read the mood and always stop the explanation, when the story reached the point of explaining about Rio beating Alfred and Rui at the same time, Hiroaki began to question if Rui really used his powers during the fight or if Alfred was really that strong for making Rio's achievements than they were, Liselotte praised Rio's deeds and that pissed him off, when it was told how Rio repelled the five thousand soldiers just glaring at them with killing intent because they were scared of how he defeated Rui and Alfred he completely refused to believe it and began to question why the soldiers didn't try to gang on Rio even if some died, that he would have given that order if he was the commander.

The meeting with Rio's and Cristina's group and the explanation about why they were there together and the army near the national border have just ended,now they're deciding who sleeps in which room, Cristina asks to be in the same room that Flora to talk with her about a lot of things later, Roana, Hiroaki and Hugenot ask for a room near theirs, and Sara, Ouphia, Alma and Celia in a room for four with Rio's room near theirs, when they're going to their rooms Celia decides to stay with Aria there a little longer for the friends to have a little of talk for the first time on a while, Lizelotte asks Rio to come to her room.

Hiroaki, that was convinced in his head that Lizelotte left from Galarc's capital without giving him a marriage proposal because she was busy with job, went to her house in Amande to give her a chance of saying him her feelings face to face, didn't like this, then because when he was in Galarc's capital everytime he said that he was a hero and that he was bored every noble girl near would go instantly to entertain him, he tried saying this to Sara's group, they ignored him and asked Chloe that was surprised and didn't understood well what have Hiroaki just tried to do to just guide them to their room already, they said to Rio that they wanted him to come to their room after his talk with Lizelotte is over and left, Hiroki was left there looking like an idiot, Cosette laughs at him where nobody notices while Natalie calls him idiot in low voice, Rio says to Celia to enjoy his meeting with Aria after a long time, everyone is surprised and curious about how Rio called Celia without honorifics, then he follows after Lizelotte for talking with her.

Hiroaki is looking annoyedly at Rio walking next to Lizelotte, thinking thinks like, he has to be walking by her side just for showing off to him, he grumbs in his head about he having a different cute woman with him every time he meets Rio, about how except Cristina and Vanessa all the girls with him seemed to be his women, Hugenot realizes Hiroaki’s change of mood and signals Roana to do something about it, Roana calls out to Hiroaki while hugging his arm close to her breast for calling his attention, she then says to him to go to their rooms already,he accepts and invites Cristina too to drink tea with him Flora and Roana but she says that before that she needs to talk with Hugenot about several things, while thinking that Hiroaki seems to be as troublesome as she suspected since she met him at the evening party and that something needs to be done about that.

Hiroaki in his head is comparing the differences in atmosphere and presence between Flora and Cristina, he thinks he likes how Cristina gives the sensation of being a flower with spines but he dislikes how she gave priority to Hugenot above him despite saying that it’s fine on the surface, he decides that he will wait a little more before deciding if she is girl that reads the air or not, Natalie guides Cristina and Hugenot to another room while Cosette guides Hiroaki, Flora and Roana, Hiroaki begins to look at Cosette’s back while thinking that if he can make his maids into a bonus that comes with Lizelottle she’s a target even more appealing, Celia stays with Aria in the room that they used for their conversation right now.

Hiroaki is now seated in a sofa with Flora and Roana in each side of him, he’s very close to Roana while flirting with her while Flora is a little distanced from the two, Hiroaki notices that Flora wasn't joining the conversation and he asked why, Flora made the mistake of honestly saying that she was worried about the things that happened Rio and Cristina during their travel, this was the end for Hiroaki's patience, then he began to think that Haruto is calling the attention much more than the heroes and that he needs to lower his evaluation someway or another.

Even though he came all the way to Amande to see Lizelotte why does she prefer to be with Haruto, and just the two to make it worse, I wanted to get closer to the other girls too, damn Haruto, is he showing off, coming with a different group of cute girls everytime, Cristina too, even though I invited her personally she didn't come, it seems that there was several important things to talk with Hugenot, and there will more chances to talk with her from now on, or is she a girl that can't read the mood too?

In the middle of his grumblings he begins to think in a duel with Rio, but just how can I win, because Hiroaki saw Rio fighting he knows he's strong even if he doesn't like it, he properly won in close combat to Satsuki and Takahisa, but those two didn't use their magics, the bow bastard too, he just lost because he made the mistake of entering that bastard's range, yes it was just that, if I make it a long distance fight his swordcraft will be useless, he then goes to look for Rio.

Hiroaki enters the room and challenges Rio to a duel with the excuse of needing the help of a rival strong enough for testing his powers, Flora says to Rio that is fine to refuse because it’s something very unreasonable from them, that they didn’t even informed Cristina of it, Hiroaki curses Flora in his head for saying unnecessary things, Rio realizing that all of this is just Hiroaki’s whim decides to accept because he wanted to gather information too about how powerful a hero is, but he puts as condition that Cristina has to agree to this and to set the time and place for the duel herself.

The next morning Hiroaki lost completely against the Rio that was asked to defeat Hiroaki showing the difference in skill between the two the previous night, after losing the control of his powers Christina scolded him strongly about it, then he practically stopped talking to her, because of that and because he can't take how Christina dares to put him limits different from Hugenot who let him do as he pleased, he practically stopped talking to Flora too because she took Christina's side over his, he couldn't forgive her to not just be not his perfect follower like Roana and to have feelings for Rio, during the six next weeks, since he lost against Rio he went back almost completely to being a neet that doesn't leave his room, only letting Roana in and when he goes out he talks almost only to Roana, the day that Christina and Flora were teleported to the Paladia kingdom he arrived to their room running just when everything was already over, he almost panicked at the sight of the bloodied Vanessa, while Roana was healing her he did nothing, he just standed in front of the room's door calling for more help for Vanessa that never come because in the magic ship they were riding just the people in the navigation cabin were still alive.

A week after Christina's and Flora's disapperance, Hiroaki is in Hugenot’s office with him and Roana, Hugenot explains to Hiroaki how the nobles’ morale skydived since Cristina and Flora disappeared, that for changing things he needs him to accept princess Rosalie, Charlotte’s little sister, as his first wife and Roana as his second, then Hiroaki says to Hugenot that he wants Lizelotte as his third wife as a condition and that Hugenot is in charge of the negotiations.
