Akatsuki

Occupation: Assassin / Tracker

Race: Human

The heroine of the story. A petite, black-haired beauty who claims to be a ninja serving Shiroe. She is not good with people, speaks little, and has a serious personality.

During the game era, she used a tall male avatar, so after the "Catastrophe," she struggled with the difference between her character's settings and her real physique, as well as the gender mismatch. She was helped by Shiroe's limited item, the "Appearance Reset Potion," and since then, she has admired him, calling him "Master." Through their adventures together, she develops romantic feelings for Shiroe. (Volume 1)

As a solo player, she had no experience in large-scale battles and only possessed equipment that could be purchased normally, which made her feel inferior to top-tier adventurers. However, this was resolved during the serial killer incident in the city of Akiba. (Volume 6)

During the serial killer incident in Akiba, Akatsuki evolved her sub-class skill, the Tracker's specialty, Stealth Technique (Hide Shadow), and acquired the oral tradition, Shadow Lurk. (Volume 6)

In the real world, she is a university student. Her real name is Shizuka Hanekura. She is an adult woman with kendo experience, but her petite appearance often leads to her being mistaken for a middle school student, which is a source of insecurity for her.

Due to the effects of her death after the "Catastrophe," she has forgotten the name of the university she attended.
