Damuel

Damuel (ダームエル Daamueru) is a young, laynoble knight who is the bodyguard of Rozemyne. He was originally assigned to protect the Apprentice Shrine Maiden, Myne, during a trombe extermination but failed due to Shikikoza hurting her. He was unable to protect her because Shikikoza was of higher status than him.

Damuel is very impressed by Myne during the course of his time with her. He is surprised that Myne helps the orphanage purely out of personal interest, it is unthinkable that a poor commoner would act not for survival but to satisfy a hobby. He is also impressed with her ability to manage her business with the merchants, her numerous new ideas which make large amount of money, and also Myne's ability to read and translate books which should be beyond her ability, and that even a noble who graduated from the Royal Academy would find hard to do.

Damuel's failure to protect Myne during the extermination of the trombe cause him several issues. He was forced to borrow money from his brother to help pay for his part of Myne's replacement high priest robes. He was also demoted to apprentice knight and was assigned to serve the shrine maiden Myne in the temple. This caused friction with his fiancé and they separated.

During his time at the Royal Academy Damuel would write study guides for fellow students instead of hunting. Writing study guides enabled him to make money to help him pay his way through school. He did this rather than hunting as he made more from the study guides, then he could from hunting the creatures. Ferdinand finds out him writing study guides and that he is also in debt and asks him to help with the temple paperwork while Myne is in his office, which he will pay him for.

During his time with Myne at the temple, he kept a low profile, and not many people knew he was a noble. During the confrontation at in the common section he surprised Otto by pulling out his schtappe and calling for help. When they were trying to get to Ferdinand's office in the temple and were intercepted by the High Bishop and Count Bindewald. The High Bishop was surprised to see a knight protecting her.

He is currently serving Rozemyne as a personal bodyguard with Brigitte.

Damuel delevolped a crush on Brigitte and eventually even asked her to marry him. Their difference in mana capacity prevented their marriage and as such he requested a year to achieve a similar mana capacity as Brigitte. He succeeded in reaching his goal and wished to marry Brigitte, however he could not move to Illgner as he wouldn't be able to protect Rozemyne as her guardknight.

It was revealed by Ferdinand that should Damuel have accepted the marriage proposal and moved to Illgner, then he would have come to an early death since he knew too many of Rozemyne's secrets.

Spoiler for Part 4 Volume 2 While Rozemyne is attending the Royal Academy for her first-year courses, Damuel is mercilessly trained by Bonifatius. Even when Rozemyne returns and Damuel is there to greet her when she comes through the teleportation circle he's covered in cuts and bruises. Rozemyne remarks how he looks a lot stronger, thinking to herself that it is not just due to the muscles he put on, but also a more determined and self-asured look on his face.


 * Damuel only has elemental affinity for Wind.
 * Damuel's highbeast takes the shape of a winged horse.
 * Thanks to the Rozemyne Mana Compression Method Damuel's mana capacity has grown to equal mednobles, despite being a laynoble.


 * Karstedt was also very impressed with Damuel for lasting such a long time against Count Bindewald, due to the significant mana difference.
 * Damuel's name was meant to be Samuel, but Miya Kazuki, the author, hit "D" instead of "S" by accident and just rolled with it. The Quof, translator at J-Novel Club, asked the author if she wanted him to correct it in the translation, but she requested that he keeps it the same.
