- A demon summon rewarded to Saito after killing a silver slime. Unlike the more reserved and nurturing Syl, Luceria is blunt and at first bemoans being the summon of Saito. Like other summons, she requires the crystals dropped by monsters, but she has a habit of always asking for more crystals despite her workload. Her character has dark hair and also resembles an older child. Saito eventually gives her the nickname Luce. Her skills involve strong fire magic and disintegrating ability.

- A female adventurer that Kaito meets in the dungeon along with her two female party members. She uses a naginata and has trained in her family dojo to use it as she dreams of becoming a hero.

She is a first year in college and attends the college that is the first choice for Katsuragi. She becomes infatuated with Kaito the more time she spends with him.
