Sekihime appears quiet and reserved at first glance, mainly because she keeps her eyes closed almost all the time to avoid petrifying others.

Her calm exterior hides a surprisingly emotional and energetic personality that bursts out once she lets herself relax.

She is capable of getting carried away when she is deeply moved, such as when she experiences new and touching sights in a dream.

Despite her dangerous power, she is straightforward and bold in matters of love, revealing a very proactive side when it comes to Hajime Shinonome.

Sekihime possesses the ability to turn anything that enters her field of vision into stone.

This petrification affects all beings in her line of sight without distinction, making her gaze extremely dangerous.

To avoid harming others, she lives with her eyes closed except when looking at the sky, where there is no risk of accidentally petrifying people.

She travels accompanied by a guide serpent called Gorgon, who helps her move around safely while effectively serving as her seeing-eye companion.

When her emotions become unstable, her petrification power can run wild and extend uncontrollably to her surroundings.

This instability is shown when her heartbreak causes a sudden, wide-scale stone-turning outburst that she herself cannot fully control.

Sekihime works for the adventurers’ guild as a “dungeon destroyer,” a specialist hired to dismantle and dispose of dungeons that are scheduled for abandonment.

Her role is essentially to process and erase unwanted or hazardous labyrinths that have fulfilled their purpose or become too dangerous.

She travels to Komai Village under guild commission to deal with a newly formed dungeon in the surrounding area.

Because her eyes can destroy and petrify so easily, her presence is both an asset and a risk in such missions.

Her exceptional destructive capacity makes her perfectly suited to wiping out dungeon structures, traps, and monsters.

However, this also means the people around her must take great care not to meet her gaze, reinforcing her habit of moving with eyes tightly shut.

Sekihime’s romantic arc begins when she encounters Hajime Shinonome during her work around Komai Village.

Due to a certain incident involving Rirui’s succubus ability, she experiences various vivid scenes in a dream and ends up deeply moved.

Within that dream experience, she encounters Hajime and finds his appearance and voice to be exactly her type.

She falls in love at first sight and, once awake, becomes very direct about her feelings, even asking Hajime to go out with her right away.

Hajime initially turns down her confession, which shocks Sekihime and sends her emotions into turmoil.

This emotional blow causes her stone gaze ability to spiral out of control, petrifying her surroundings as her powers rampage.

In a panic, Hajime blurts out, “If we’re dating, that means I can touch your butt and your breasts for free, right?”

His tactless remark horrifies Sekihime, completely killing the mood and leaving her disappointed and disillusioned.

Crushed and hurt, she leaves Komai Village in a state of emotional defeat, still unable to fully rein in the dangerous flare of her powers.

Despite everything, her feelings for Hajime do not vanish, and their story continues beyond this awkward and painful first encounter.

Even after leaving the village, Sekihime cannot bring herself to give up on Hajime Shinonome.

She begins exchanging letters with him, maintaining a fragile but persistent connection from afar.

At some point later, the mansion where Sekihime lives is attacked and absorbed by the magic beast King Snowman.

The creature’s assault causes massive destruction, leaving her home heavily damaged and putting her in serious danger.

Hajime intervenes and rescues Sekihime from this crisis, solidifying their bond through direct action rather than just words.

Following this incident, she ends up settling in Komai Village instead of returning to her ruined home.

Living near Hajime, Sekihime resumes her straightforward and sometimes aggressive romantic approach toward him.

Her ongoing affection often leads to rivalry and comedic tension with Rirui, as both women compete for Hajime’s attention.

Their interactions shift from one-sided heartbreak to a more complex, lively relationship full of awkwardness, jealousy, and new possibilities.

Sekihime’s presence in Komai Village adds both romantic chaos and formidable power to the everyday life of the adventurers.
