Otto (Anime)

Otto (オットー Ottoo) is a soldier and Gunther (Anime)'s subordinate.

A former traveling Merchant, Otto traded that life away to gain citizenship in the city so that he could marry the woman he loved (Corinna). He is currently a soldier serving under Gunther, but unlike most soldiers and commoners he is fully literate. He is the one responsible for teaching Myne how to read and write this world's language.

His wife Corinna is the younger sister of the merchant Benno.

Retaining his merchant-like qualities, he often barters in his dealings with others. He is very devoted to his wife and daughter and will praise them for great length of time with minimal propping, much to the annoyance of most listeners.

He was in the traveling trade before becoming a soldier, and still has connections with merchants. Otto originally planned on buying citizenship in a city near Frenbeltag and start a store there, however he fell in love with Corinna at first sight. To prove he was serious he spent all of his savings to buy citizenship in Ehrenfest and used his connections to obtain a job as a soldier. Despite to the possibility of drawing the guildmaster's ire, that would lead to him never being able to do official business as a merchant again, Otto believed marrying Corinna would be well worth it.

He reports that Count Lowenhardt has asked for the gates to be opened.

Seeing that Myne has an interest in writing, he offers his slate for her to practice.


 * He spread the rumor that Myne was Benno's Goddess of Water
