But when Subaru comes to his senses, he finds himself back at the location where he was first summoned to this otherworld.

The protagonist, 17 to 18 years old, a third-year high school student who often skips classes and is considered a "school phobia student."

Summoned to another world for unknown reasons, he can use shadow attribute magic and possesses the special ability of "Return by Death," which allows him to return to before tragic events occur after dying in the other world. However, with each return, the "scent of the Witch" increases, and he cannot tell the truth to others.

Through countless cycles of death, he falls in love with Emilia and Rem, and he does everything in his power to protect his loved ones.

エミリア, [Emilia]

The main heroine, also known as Emilia.

She has dreamy silver hair, skin as white as snow, captivating blue-purple eyes, and pointed ears like an elf.

A half-elf beauty, she is also a sorceress with elf-like qualities. Due to her appearance resembling the legendary Jealous Witch, Satella, she is often shunned by others.

She was once known as the "Frozen Witch" living in the Frozen Forest. She made her debut at the age of 114, but her mental age is only 14.

(Frozen at the age of 7, rescued by Puck after 100 years of sleep, and met Subaru 7 years later.)

She has a kind-hearted nature, though she vehemently denies it. Since she rarely interacts with others, she only shows a playful side in front of Puck, the cat spirit.

She is one of the five candidates for the throne in the Lugnica Kingdom and is often affectionately called "EMT" by Subaru Natsuki.

パック, [Pack]

A cat with gray fur, large eyes, a pink nose, and a palm-sized body that walks on two feet.

A male elf who leads a 9-to-5 lifestyle, he constantly accompanies Emilia and affectionately calls her "Ryuzu." He serves as a paternal figure to her.

Its true form is a giant beast with a golden glow, residing in the Elior Forest's perpetual frozen soil world and presiding over the mana of fire. He is an ancient great spirit known as the "Eternal Frost's End Beast" in the "Perpetual Frost."

Unable to bear a world without Emilia, he made a contract and took action to destroy the world after Emilia's death.

As a merchant, Otto possesses the acumen of a businessman but lacks the favor of fortune. He has gray hair, stands slightly shorter than Subaru, and has a lean face.

Relying on his skills as a traveling merchant, Otto also has the blessing of "Divine Protection of Speech," allowing him to communicate with animals.

His strength matches his personality; he can effortlessly hurl dragon carriages weighing hundreds of kilograms.

Endowed with the "Blessing of the Earth Spirits," he can heal injuries simply by standing on the ground. He once caused Subaru a lot of trouble.

Feared and hated by people for centuries, her name is regarded as a taboo by later generations.

Only those who accept Satella from the bottom of their hearts can catch a glimpse of her shadowed face.

She hopes that Subaru can kill her one day.

She claims to be the "embodiment of curiosity" and a "monster who wants to know all knowledge in the world."

She holds tea parties in certain places in the Sanctuary to answer questions from knowledge seekers.

However, standing before this witch with a half-hearted attitude is a very foolish act, so one must be prepared.

ミネルヴァ，Anger Witch - Minerva

She is a beautiful girl with golden hair, blue eyes, and a tsundere personality, wearing a short skirt.

Her ability is healing, which distorts causality to heal injuries, causing the world's mana to lose balance and making natural disasters and anomalies more likely to occur.

ダフネ，Gluttony Witch - Daphne

She is a girl confined in a slightly narrow, upright coffin called the "Hundred Foot Coffin," restrained all over her body, even her eyes covered by a hard, pitch-black eye mask.

She is the creator of the three great beasts (the White Whale, the Great Rabbit, and the Black Serpent) with the goal of adding food and reducing the excessive number of humans and demi-humans.

Subaru's compatibility with Daphne at the tea party is very poor.

Physical contact with her should be avoided, and even eye contact if possible.

Almost every sentence is accompanied by a sigh, causing impatience. She usually takes care of Typhon.

カーミラ，Lust Witch - Carmilla

With light red long hair down to her waist, Carmilla is an ordinary-looking girl whose impression can be influenced by makeup. She has slender limbs and a small chest.

With a peasant-like appearance that can be seen anywhere, she has no particularly attractive features, giving her a very ordinary appearance. Lacking confidence, she often lowers her gaze nervously, but she has a luminous presence that attracts attention wherever she goes. Both men and women feel protective and sadistic impulses towards her, so she is often bullied by other witches.

Once people see her, they can no longer be aware of anyone else's existence. They even forget to breathe and their heartbeat.

パンドラ，Vanity Witch - Pandora

With golden hair and white clothes, Pandora is a beautiful witch with astonishing beauty.
