Yukitoshi Shimizu

Occupation: Dark Sorcerer

A reserved and quiet boy with freckles depicted in manga and anime.

He shares Hajime's otaku interests but hides this from everyone after seeing Hajime's current situation. He usually gives minimal responses and has no close friends. In middle school, he became a recluse due to bullying, immersing himself in games and manga, which worried his parents and annoyed his siblings, leaving him with almost no place in his family. Internally, this led him to develop a sinister and spiteful personality.

Initially, he was thrilled to arrive in another world, dreaming of thriving like a protagonist. However, he felt inferior to Kouki, who demonstrated greater talents, and the fear of death that sprouted when Hajime fell into the abyss led him to despair and seclusion in his room. Later, he became fascinated with the dark art of brainwashing, conducting nightly experiments on monsters outside the royal capital, and joined the Aiko Guard Squad to reach the town of Ur, only to desert them and head to the northern mountains. There, he made a secret pact with the Majin race's Wraith to be welcomed as a hero on their side if he eliminated Aiko, betraying his own side as his desire for recognition was exploited.

He brainwashed the sleeping Tio to lead a horde of monsters to attack the town of Ur to kill Aiko, but was annihilated and captured by Hajime and his group. He refused Aiko's persuasion and took her hostage with a poison needle, only to be critically injured by Wraith, who abandoned him after he targeted Aiko.

He promised to reform and sought help from Hajime and his group, but Hajime, realizing that he was beyond redemption, shot and executed him. He was the first of his classmates to die.
