Hibiki Otonashi

Hibiki Otonashi is a beautiful girl with excellent looks.

She appears as a typical high school senior and is well-groomed, reflecting her wealthy upbringing.

She stands out for her grace and charisma both in and out of battle.

Hibiki is very smart, serious, and usually kind.

She is very talented, becoming a top student and athlete without much effort.

Because of this, she often feels like things are too easy and not satisfying.

She is confident and believes hard work can solve almost anything, but this sometimes makes her unable to understand people who struggle because of their situation or lack of talent.

Her charisma draws people to her, and she has a strong sense of justice.

Still, she finds it hard to connect on a deep, emotional level with others.

Hibiki is a senior at the same high school as Makoto Misumi in her original world.

She comes from a very rich family, is the student council president, and a kendo club member.

She was chosen by The Goddess and summoned to be a Hero.

Even before her summoning, she was viewed as an elite in both academics and sports.

Hibiki received powerful magic and a special magical belt from The Goddess, making her much stronger than most people in the new world.

She has a strong body for fighting monsters, magic power to rival demons, and a powerful charisma that lets her lead others easily.

The silver belt given to her can change form into a wolf spirit or transform her battle form to look almost like an Amazoness, merging with her for greater power.

She forms a party with Belda Norst Limia, Woody Baila, and Navarre Polar, later joined by Chiya Hazuki.

Her relationships are sometimes shaped by her natural charisma, which even makes people willing to sacrifice themselves for her.

She admires Ilumgand Hopleys for caring about his people, and is deeply affected by his death.

Hibiki knows Makoto from their previous world and notices how much he has changed in power and personality after arriving in the new world.

She is also warned about Makoto’s growing danger by the superior dragon, Root.

Hero Summoning and First Impressions

Hibiki is summoned as a Hero by The Goddess to the Limia Kingdom.

She is given powerful magic and tools, and quickly becomes famous for fighting monsters and leading people.

Changing Views on War and Discrimination

After talking with others and seeing the world, Hibiki sees firsthand the discrimination between Humans, Demi-humans, and Demons.

She starts to question The Goddess and the war’s reasons, realizing solving the problems will take more than just fighting.

Battles, Losses, and Growth

Hibiki fights in many tough battles.

She suffers her first big defeat against Mio Misumi, then faces an even bigger crisis at the Stella Fortress, losing the goddess’s protection and seeing Tomoki Iwahashi abandon the fight.

Her friend Navarre Polar sacrifices herself to let Hibiki escape, leading Hibiki to rethink her beliefs and grow stronger.

Meeting Makoto Misumi Again

Hibiki meets Makoto Misumi (going by the name “Raidou”) in Rotsgard, noticing how his strength and mindset have become almost inhuman.

She worries about his cold view of Humans and how his actions might make the war even worse.

Facing the Limits of Power

After a test fight, Hibiki realizes that even with her new strength, she stands no chance against Makoto.

She hears from Root that if Makoto keeps growing, no one in the world can stop him.

She decides to keep some distance from him and tries not to get on his bad side.

Hibiki was almost betrothed to her kendo clubmate, Masamune Ibuki, because of their families' connections.

She does not place much value on her own strength and will not seriously fight someone stronger than herself.

• “I see what’s wrong with this world, but it’s not easy to fix.”
• “Even if I can do anything, it doesn’t mean it’s fun.”
• “I won’t forgive those who hurt my friends, even if it takes everything.”

She is called the "Hero who creates fanatics" in the Limia Kingdom due to the fierce loyalty she inspires.

Hibiki is expected by both Root and some others to one day become a queen and unite different races into a peaceful nation.
