Makoto Misumi

Unofficial

Makoto Misumi (, Misumi Makoto) is the Main Protagonist of this series. He is one of the three World Travelers who was summoned to the Goddess' World.

Originally meant to be the only person to be sent to the other world as per the contract between his parents and the Goddess, but because of her own preferences in beauty standards, she abandons and throws Makoto to the edge of her world into the Wasteland, while secretly kidnapping two other people from Earth and sending them to her world as Heroes. Tsukuyomi, the Moon God of Earth who worked as the middleman for the completion of the contract, helped Makoto and provided him with his blessing and told him to be free and live as he wishes to.

In the Goddess' World, he is also known by the alias "Raidou Kuzunoha" (in WN/LN) or "Makoto Kuzunoha" (in Manga/Anime), a powerful merchant and skilled teacher.

Appearance
Makoto is a short (160 cm) and young teenager with black mid-length hair and eyes. His facial features are average in appearance but to those of the Goddess's world, he is considered ugly and/or being mistaken as a demi-human of some kind.

When his mana is not kept in check by his mana absorbing rings, his mana overflows and is said to look like an ominous desert haze and gives off an aura that can be seen as great power that others respond to in different ways. He is in no way negatively affected by this ominous desert haze as he is unaware of its presence and even less when he uses Sakai.

He can look at someone in a disinterested way when he's in an emotional state that can be quite dangerous, it is most visible when his eyelets darken around his eyes

Personality
Like many other students his age, Makoto is quite naive. In sports and his studies he is barely on average. Thus he is in no way considered special. This causes him to feel empathy towards individuals who are looked upon less favorably in the Goddess’ world as is the case of demi-humans, mamonos and demons. So he has no qualms about helping them selflessly, even if that generates bad opinions of him among the Hyuman society.

According to his elder sister (Extra chapter 5), in his perspective of love, he always ended up seeing the girls who confessed to him to the status of "family" and "friends". According to Tsukuyomi, Misumi's earnest and humble personality has led to many girls take a liking towards him, which is especially obvious for his Archery club president and a club activities kohai.

Even so, many characters in history have described Makoto's personality as "extremely dangerous", which is not solely because of his great power, but also the fact that he did not hesitate to commit mass murder or to becoming an enemy of the Goddess herself, if he deems it is necessary.

According to Hibiki Otonashi, Makoto has developed a thought process where he unconsciously discriminates against the Hyumans.

He has the tendecy to unconsciously smile when angered. That face of his was seen for the first time by his followers Tomoe and Shiki. It was seen in the incident where he was angered by the god Samal, when he insulted his parents whom he loved deeply. Misumi became ridiculously angry after hearing his insults. Then, Misumi attacked him with his bow and arrow as a declaration of war.

After one-sidedly being cornered by Misumi, Samal ran away into his dimension understanding that he was no match for Misumi. However, Samal then gets dragged back by Misumi to Asora. Samal did not know what to do while Misumi tortures him. This conflict becomes an important influence for the Kuzunoha Company. Even Tomoe and Shiki, his followers can't believe this side of Misumi. Besides that, Misumi Makoto beats him with his created hands from the top and barrages him with arrows from the bottom until Samal can no longer speak. Until news spread mouth to mouth, more and more believers followed him. It becomes apparent that Misumi Makoto possesses enough power to trample a god.

As a ruler, he models Asora as a beautiful paradise fit to be called heaven. He provides asylum and protection to all races who desire peace from the war and suffering granted they can get along with other races. Citizens eventually look at him as a living god, who saved them and guaranteed them his protection. In Asora, discrimination is not included in his rule. He is seen as a humble leader by everyone in Asora. His merchant alias, Raidou catches the attention of many nations and factions. He is vigilant of migration to Asora, and considers it necessary for the races who wish to migrate to have an amiable personality and to not discriminate other races. From a bitter experience when a greedy adventurer, brought to Asora, plunders and escapes by killing a Highland Orc and Tomoe mini while severely injuring an Alke, he chases after her to Tsige and kills her without showing any mercy. It is in this incident, where he has killed his first Hyuman after coming to this world and though initially he is heartbroken, he deals with it and decides that killing is necessary.

After obtaining the protection of landlord, he unconsciously made an expansion to Asora. It is like a new world. He is treated as a superpower. He tries to make all of his citizens of different races prosper. News of Asora being paradise begins to spread along the wasteland. Migration proposals begin arriving for the Mirage town in the wasteland. In the final interview for accepting a race into Asora, he shows great respect and is very humble. He is seen not as a landlord but as a god who gives shelter and commodities to his subjects. He accumulates many believers who worship him at the shrine in Asora and offer their prayers. When Misumi hears that, he finds it very uncomfortable to be seen as something great like a God. He asks Tamaki to convince the people to stop worshiping him as he does not consider himself a God. He has difficulty dealing with people who are good at hiding their true intentions under a fake smile. It makes him very uneasy and difficult to trust them. He naively tries to classify people as either friend or foe. He tries not to over-think it and feels it is a lot easier to punish or kill his foes while maintain an amiable relationship with his friends.

Same as before coming to this world, he still has difficulty dealing with women who have feelings for him and is especially oblivious to certain types of feelings towards him, despite having many girls who have taken a liking towards him. He is seen as a late-bloomer by many as he refuses the advances of many women. When Mio was given a choice to ask for anything she wants for defeating a greater number of mutants in the Academy Town, she asks that he sleep with her but quickly hesitates and changes the request. But Misumi, who at that moment is drunk, thinks it is not too far-fetched and that he wouldn't mind sleeping with her.

He doesn't really think about long-term problems that could arise from killing because of his normal response to being attacked or angered. As a result, when he is attacked by the three Shadowless class Assassins during his stay in Lorel Union, he effortlessly murders them when he remembers that these girls were sent by the empires hero Tomoki. This causes him to be on bad terms with Pione and Picnic Rose Garden as a whole as she is close friends with one of the three assassins who had her head brutally crushed by Misumi. His reasonings are that when someone tries to take your life or endanger you and those you care for, it’s only natural to kill them.

Etymology
His given name, "Makoto" using the Kanji 「真」 means “truth/reality”, which is ironic because he was born on the 1st of April, which is April Fools Day. This has caused his older sister Yukiko to question their parent's naming sense, since she too has an oddity relating to her and her sisters name as well.

As for the surname "Misumi" 「深澄」, the first kanji means "deep" while the second means "transparent". This surname was given by the Goddess to Makoto's parents, when they decided to leave her world and move to a different world(which by Goddess's choice was Earth (The Origin World)). The origin of the name is based on the meaning of Makoto's parents real name in Goddess World's common language, with "Io" meaning "deep" and "Tort" meaning "transparent".

Equipment
Draupnir(s) can suppress the tremendous quantity of Makoto's magic power. They absorb his magic power to the limit. However because Makoto’s magic power only increases with his bow training and new servants, he needs to change them regularly and wears more of them to the point that there are an immense amount of used rings with Makoto's magic power stored in them. When some humans try to steal some objects like weapons or Draupnir in the unprotected workshop of the Elder Dwarves, a large explosion occurs killing two humans (The ones that attempted to steal), Tomoe's fragment (Mini Tomoe), a Highland Orc, and mortally wounding the Alke's Hokuto, who would have died if not for Makoto treating the Alke's injuries. Since this incident, the rings are carefully put in a sealed treasure box. Later, it was discovered that this rings can produce energy but they need to be used like magic bombs in order to be used as an energy producer.
 * Short Sword: Given as a gift by the Highland Orcs.
 * Dwarf-made ceremonial dress
 * Clothes that extract mana and uses it for various ability settings.
 * Draupnir: Magical rings that absorb and compresses the wearers mana. It glows red when the storage capacity reaches its limit.
 * Azusa: "Azusa Yumi" is a special long bow created by the elder dwarves. It has the same proprieties as Draupnir as it stores mana and then converts it into magical power when he shoots an arrow. It glows red like Draupnir when the storage capacity reaches its limit. When the arrow is shot, the power is unleashed in one instant and releases a deadly explosion, even more so in close range.
 * Silver Arms: Gauntlets that Makoto made through his own power of Creation. They are made through a complex method. They are made with the idea to break any magical attack like the shooting of Root or the portal of Samal. "…Now then, you can do it, right? Crush any kind of attacks; that’s what I envisioned in you when I created you. If you are truly my Creation, you should be able to rip up this closed space.” (Makoto) WN 221.
 * Bow Youkyuu: It is used when teaching/training the students. It's similar to a toy bow, even the arrows are harmless, but with the power and accuracy of Makoto (even with a skill that reduces his power) the students say that it's like they died each time they are hit.
 * Einkaref (given to Iroha) (エインカリフ): A talking sword that once belonged to Muramatsu Iori. It is a long and thin cylindrical shaped sword that calls itself “The sword of a Dragon Slayer”.

Quotes
(Makoto to Students): ''As a teacher the lessons of Raidou-sensei have a somewhat similar policy of the Academy it is probably even more difficult because of that. The policy of the main academy is to demand a minimum level of skill in set areas from all the students.''

(Makoto to Iroha): "Wise huh. I just can’t get used to that way of calling. Also, the Japanese that were here were mostly fooling around, and frankly speaking, being placed in the same category as them would make me so embarrassed I wouldn’t be able to walk outside.”
