Rurumo appears extremely expressionless and speaks very little.

This is not because she is cold, but because she is painfully shy and gets embarrassed easily, which makes it hard for her to show her feelings.

She is very clumsy in everyday life and has poor motor skills.

This awkwardness makes her bad at physical tasks and often leads to mistakes when she tries to help out.

Despite her lack of ambition about rank and status, her magical ability itself is very high.

She can use powerful spells once the proper conditions are met, especially when supporting her contractor’s wishes.

Rurumo is easily flustered by emotional situations, and she has trouble verbally expressing gratitude.

Even when she deeply appreciates someone, especially Kōta Shibaki, the words often get stuck and come out awkwardly or not at all.

She finds life on the surface (in the human world) surprisingly fun and comforting.

Because of this, she sometimes reflects on herself and mutters, “I am getting carried away,” as a sort of self‑reprimand for enjoying human life too much.

Rurumo is a fully qualified witch by talent, with exceptional magical power.

However, due to incidents in her past, her status and ability to freely use magic are restricted during the early part of the story.

Her magic is specialized around fulfilling the wishes of her contractor, Kōta Shibaki.

To cast spells in the human world, she requires Kōta to declare the use of a magical ticket, which triggers her ability to perform a specific piece of magic.

While she was originally classified as a thirteenth‑class witch, the lowest rank, this ranking does not reflect her true potential.

Her magical skill is considerably higher; she simply lacked the ambition to climb the witch hierarchy.

By the time of Part 3, Rurumo has been promoted to second‑class witch.

This promotion reflects both her reliability and her improved standing within the Demon World Administration.

Rurumo has very poor motor coordination and slow reflexes.

This makes physical tasks difficult and is a major source of frustration for her.

One of her biggest embarrassments is that she cannot ride a broom, which is a basic skill for most witches.

Her inability to fly properly is a persistent worry and makes her feel inadequate compared to other witches.

She is also extremely bad with frogs and finds them frightening.

This fear stands out because witches are often associated with such creatures, making it a particularly ironic weakness.

In everyday work, Rurumo is clumsy and prone to failure.

When she works in the high school cafeteria, she frequently makes mistakes and gets scolded, even though she is genuinely trying her best.

Before the events of the main story, Rurumo was a thirteenth‑class witch, the lowest recognized rank in the witch hierarchy.

Her low class was not due to weak magic, but rather because she had no interest in seeking promotions or power.

At some point in the past, she was deceived by another witch and tricked into breaking important rules.

As punishment, she was imprisoned for 60 years, which left a deep mark on her life and career.

After this misfortune, her situation became even more complicated when she was involved with Kōta Shibaki’s first summoning.

When the initial contract with him was not properly fulfilled, she had her witch qualification stripped away and was demoted to a trainee witch.

As a trainee witch, she was sent to the human world to complete a new form of training.

This training involved living with Kōta Shibaki and working under strict conditions set by the Demon World Administration Bureau.

Rurumo’s relationship with Kōta Shibaki begins when he first summons her as a witch.

Because the original contract was left unfulfilled, the witch authorities punish Rurumo by revoking her full witch status.

Her magical power is sealed, and she can no longer freely use spells.

From that point, she can only cast magic when Kōta uses a “magic ticket,” a special item that activates her power for a single wish or effect.

The rules of her new training state that she must help Kōta use up all of the magic tickets.

Her mission is to have him spend every last ticket, which is considered the condition for completing her training as a trainee witch.

However, there is a tragic secret connected to these tickets.

The remaining number of tickets is directly tied to Kōta Shibaki’s remaining lifespan, but Rurumo herself does not know this grim truth.

This hidden cost means that every time she uses magic to help him, his life shortens.

The fact that she is unaware of this makes their relationship both heartfelt and bittersweet.

As part of her training, Rurumo lives in Kōta Shibaki’s house.

She slowly grows used to human customs and daily routines, even though she is clumsy and tends to cause small accidents.

She takes a job as an apprentice worker in the cafeteria at Kōta’s high school.

Because of her poor coordination and lack of experience, she fails often and is frequently scolded by her seniors and supervisors.

Despite the hardships, Rurumo begins to genuinely enjoy her life on the surface.

She experiences simple human pleasures, such as working part‑time, interacting with students, and living a somewhat ordinary life instead of staying solely in the demon world.

During summer vacation, she even takes another part‑time job outside of the school cafeteria.

This choice is partly driven by her growing fondness for human life and her desire to participate more in everyday activities.

Rurumo occasionally notices how happy she feels and scolds herself internally.

Her self‑awareness shows when she thinks, “I am getting carried away,” as if enjoying life too much is something she has to restrain.

Kōta Shibaki is both Rurumo’s summoner and her contractor.

He is the one who calls her to the human world and also the key person whose tickets enable her to use magic.

Rurumo feels deep gratitude toward Kōta for accepting her presence and living together with her.

However, her extreme shyness makes it difficult for her to clearly say “thank you” or openly express how much she appreciates him.

Over time, their relationship grows beyond a simple contractor and witch arrangement.

Through their shared daily life, awkward moments, and mutual support, they gradually begin to develop special feelings for each other.

Rurumo’s perspective on Kōta shifts from viewing him as just a human whose wishes she must grant.

She starts to see him as someone precious, which adds emotional weight to every decision involving the magic tickets.

Because she does not know the true cost of the tickets, she tries sincerely to help him use them up to complete her training.

From Kōta’s side, this secret makes their bond more complicated, as he must balance his own life against Rurumo’s future.

By the time of Part 3 of the story, Rurumo has undergone a major change in status.

She is promoted to second‑class witch, a significant rise from her previous thirteenth‑class designation.

She now works as part of the “Demon World Administration Bureau – Ground Witch Management Section, Special District Inspector.”

In this role, she supports witches like Rurumo’s juniors and oversees activities in designated special districts of the human world.

To carry out her duties on Earth, Rurumo goes undercover at a middle school.

She assumes the role of a chemistry teacher, allowing her to monitor events and support others while blending into normal human society.

Even with her new rank and responsibilities, her core personality remains the same.

She is still shy, calm, sometimes clumsy, but deeply caring, especially toward those she has formed bonds with in the human world.
