New Cast Members and Their Characters

Adding to the excitement, the roles of Marielle and Black Lizard have been announced, with veteran voice actress Rie Kugimiya taking on Marielle and Tomori Kusunoki voicing Black Lizard. Both actors have shared their anticipation for the series:

Marielle (CV: Rie Kugimiya)

Character Introduction: A half-elf girl living in the same forest village as Milia. Known for her vast knowledge, her elven blood causes her to age much slower than humans, often leading to her being mistaken for a child. She acts as Milia’s mentor, always looking out for Milia, who tends to get involved in various incidents.

Rie Kugimiya’s Comment: “I’m Rie Kugimiya, and I’ll be playing Marielle. Marielle is like a mentor to Milia, teaching and guiding her, and always watching over Milia and the entire town with deep affection and a sense of responsibility. I hope everyone enjoys watching it! Please look forward to it!”

Black Lizard (CV: Tomori Kusunoki)

Character Introduction: A species known as Venenum Princess Lecerta. This small lizard possesses a potent special poison, which it uses to weaken its prey before delivering the final blow.

Tomori Kusunoki’s Comment: “I find characters with poison attributes to have a strange, undeniable charm. They often have an unknown aura and a hidden strength… But the Black Lizard is more than just that. Its intense ‘cuteness’ will surely infect viewers, making them captives before they know it, so please be careful when watching! I hope you look forward to the broadcast. Kyui!!”
