Dirk

Dirk (ディルク) is a Devouring child found abandoned by the temple's gate.

Story
Dirk is a boy who was abandoned at the temple's gate. He was wrapped up tightly so the guard didn't know that a baby was in it. The woman who handed him the package stated it was a offering to the gods. When Dirk was found he seemed to be around Kamil's age (both being babies) while Dirk looked a bit older. Myne decides to take care of him as an orphan. Myne appeals to Delia that she can become his big sister so that Delia will help looking after Dirk. While they take care of Dirk Myne suspects Dirk having the Devouring due to the symptoms that surfaced. Ferdinand brought a magic tool to measure Dirk's mana and he seems to have the same amount of mana as a mednoble and a higher mana growth potential then Myne had. They decided to keep the fact that Dirk suffered from the Devouring a secret.

Delia starts to see Dirk as real family and loves him more than anything else. Due to this, Delia takes Dirk to the High Bishop Bezewanst, when she hears that Ferdinand looked for someone to adopt Dirk which would mean separating her and Dirk. The High Bishop said he found someone who would adopt Dirk and would allow Delia and Myne to come with them. Delia being overjoyed sides with the High Bishop whereas Myne defies him. When they confront each other it is revealed that the contract they signed with Dirk wasn't for adoption but a submission contract. Dirk became Count Bindewald's property. A fight occurs where Bezewanst depletes Dirk's mana using a feystone leaving Dirk on the brink of death. As the fight escalates, Dirk and Delia face another life-threatening situation. Delia pleads to Myne to save them. They escaped dying but Delia received a punishment for her actions. She was sentenced to life-long stay in the orphanage which meant she could spend her time with Dirk until Dirk grows up.
