Makoto Misumi

Misumi Makoto (深澄真) is the main protagonist of the series. He is one of the three World Traveler's who went to the fantasy world - the Goddess' World, though his reason for going there differs from the other two. He is the third person and a supposed hero candidate who arrive roughly 2 months after Iwahashi Tomoki, the first hero summoned. Eventually, he is thrown-off into the edge of the world(wasteland) without the title nor blessings of a hero from the goddess. He decided to become neutral and independent. He thought to use his knowledge from his previous world and apply it in the parallel world where his parents had lived before. Beginning his journey for searching about his family's past in the Goddess' World.

He is also known by the alias Raidou Kuzunoha, a powerful merchant and skilled teacher.

Appearance
Makoto is a short and young teenage man 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 looks 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 dissinterested 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 killings or to become an enemy of the Goddess herself, if he thinks it is necessary.

According to Otonashi Hibiki, 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 is seen for the first time by his followers Tomoe and Shiki. It is 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 attacks him with his bow and arrow as a declaration of war.

After one-sidedly being cornered by Misumi, Samal runs away into his dimension understanding that he is no match for Misumi. However, Samal then gets dragged by Misumi back 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 Arke, 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.

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 to has an oddity relating to her and her sisters name also.

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".

Background
Before being transferred into a fantasy world, Makoto was actually a high school student that had no ambition in his school life. He continued training earnestly in archery, but never participated in any official competition upon the request of his sensei. When he was enjoying archery at his archery club, Hasegawa and the soon-to-be clubs president, Azuma confessed to him which made him surprised.

Aiming to confess her feelings, Makoto didn't get why she worked so hard to improve in archery. She began to acknowledge his skill in archery and suddenly confessed to him. Until he was called into another fantasy world by the god Tsukuyomi, he feels that he can't simply go out with a girl despite her having feelings for him. Though upon her request he gives her a chance to go on a date with her. He feels uneasy whenever he sees her. Keeping away his uneasiness, he goes home and rests on his bed and gets called upon by Tsukuyomi.

It is revealed in chapter 102 that Makoto's father was a noble in the country of Kaleneon and his mother was a priestess of the Goddess, also from the country Kaleneon.

Chronology
Without the knowledge of his family, Misumi Makoto is called into a fantasy world by the god Tsukuyomi, in order to become a hero. However, the Goddess that governs the other world isn't thrilled to have him there, simply because of his lacking appearance. She berates him and throws him off to the edge of the world. He is rescued by Tsukuyomi and given the permission to live as he sees fit by the name of Tsukuyomi. He feels anger towards the Goddess because of her 'ugly' mouth and personality. However, he does not have any direct plan to seek revenge on the Goddess. He meets with the Highland Orcs and after a sequence of events ends up forming a Ruling Contact with the Superior Dragon Shen. He just wants to help other races that suffer from slavery and poverty. He later on meets with the Elder Dwarves and fights the Calamity Spider and ends up forming a Ruling Contract with her also. He begins inviting races to live in Asora, a world formed after the contract between Misumi and the Superior Dragon Shen. The Highland Orcs, Elder Drarves, Mist Lizardmen(Familiars of the Superior Dragon Shen) and Arkes(considered children of the Calamity Spider) decide to move to Asora and pledge their loyalty and servitude to Misumi. He can't agree about how the world is going on the whim of the Goddess. He names his two followers Tomoe (Superior Dragon Shen) and Mio (Black Calamity Spider) respectively.

He maintains neutrality in matter's of war and wants to know about his family after he finds his new friends and followers who intend to follow him until the end. So, he goes to the Hyuman town nearest to the wasteland, and gets attacked by the guards because of him radiating his mana unconsciously and being unable to converse with the Hyumans as he was not granted the ability to speak the common tongue. He later conceals his power, wears a mask and decides to venture into the town again. Though he is unable to speak the common language properly, he uses magic to write the characters and communicates with the Hyumans this way. This time he describes himself as a peddler from the wasteland, which surprises the guards of Zetsuya city and is let into the town. He starts to trade with the help of his followers who are well versed in the common language. After that, he finds an interesting matter of slavery due to debt and decides to help. After rescuing the victims, he embarks together with them towards Tsige.

He goes on to migrate many races to Asora and begins selling the products of Asora in the Hyuman towns. After his registration in the Adventures Guild and destroying the town of Zetsuya accidentally, he decides to embark towards the nearest influential and major town Tsige. Upon arriving at Tsige he visits the Adventure Guild and sees a request by the Rembradt Company to deliver some raw material which he has in his inventory. He visits the Rembradt store and delivers the goods. He develops an amiable relationship with Patrick Rembradt, the representative of the Rembrandt Company. Misumi then registers at the Merchants Guild and finishes the Guild examination with a perfect score in a single day. He decides to become a merchant and founds the Kuzunoha Company. The Kuzunoha Company does not discriminate and employs demi-humans. It becomes very popular because of superior quality goods and very reasonable prices. He declares Kuzunoha Company as having a neutral standing in middle way from the war between heroes and demons, but expresses that he will mercilessly punish anyone who intends to harm the Kuzunoha Company and its employees. After helping the Rembradnt family members get rid of a terrible curse, he decides to embark towards Academy Town. He makes a contract with a new follower, an undead elder lich and names him Shiki.

While on the way towards Academy Town, he is abducted by the Goddess and is thrown off in the middle of a demon units assault on the Limia Kingdom. He is attacked by the Superior Dragon Lancer and the Dragon Slayer Sofia who have sided with the demon race and are serving as vice generals. He manages to escape while delivering a powerful blow to the attackers. He is then healed in Asora by Mio and after waking up, he goes to the Academy town to take the test and while instructing his followers to find a way to counter the abduction (Forced Summon) of the Goddess. Upon finishing his test with an impressive result, he becomes a part-time teacher at Rotsgard Academy in the Academy Town. He also buys a suitable plot of land here and constructs his store. After a series of events, he meets with the Guild Master of the Adventures Guild Falz, who also happens to be the Chief of the Superior Dragons, Myriad Colors a.k.a Root. Root who is now a man tells Misumi that he can change into a woman anytime he wants and is waiting for the time Makoto would decide to sleep with Root. However Makoto is incredibly grossed out by Root and refers to him as "Pervert Root". Later on Makoto delivers the recipe of one of his products to the Church of the Goddess upon their request. He is later invited to meet with the Representative of the Merchants Guild, Zara. Upon meeting him and being verbally berated by him, Makoto is cornered and starts to loathe himself. After the Academy town of Rotsgard is attacked by Mutated Hyumans (Mutants), Makoto decides to play the hero of justice instead of blindly helping the people. He waits for the most opportune time to help the residents. Now he is considered a Superpower by the Major powers and is praised as a hero by the people of Rotsgard. He helps in the reconstruction of the destroyed city while answering the summons of the representatives of Major powers. He once again gets summoned by the Goddess to go save Hibiki and does so while acquiring the gift of speaking the common language as a form of payment. He saved Hibiki by fighting the Demon Army General Io while Shiki slayed Lancer. In the midst of the fight with Io, Sofia joined in the battle to kill Makoto. After witnessing the prowess of Makoto, Rona agreed to withdraw the demon army from Limia and the fortress, leaving Sofia behind. Later, Sofia who escaped after losing in the fight in the alternate dimension where she thought she could kill Makoto in it. After the war, he delivers the 3 Dragon eggs of the Superior Dragons which were slain and absorbed by Sofia upon the request of Root to 2 different locations. He visits the Empire first and when he meets the Empires hero Tomoki, Tomoki offers three of his slaves for Tomoe and threatens to kill Makoto if he does not take the deal. Makoto is very angered by the fact that Tomoki treats Tomoe as an object and results in him getting beat up. He then visits the Superior Dragon Grount and upon effortlessly finishing her challenging trial he delivers the egg of the Superior Dragon Lancer.

Makoto also visits the Demon Territory ruled by the the Demon Lord Zef, where he is welcomed grandly and treated with the utmost respect. He discusses various things and conveys his stance of neutrality while also mentioning his intent to sell resources to the Demons to improve their quality of living. He saves the capital from the High spirits going rampant because of a terrorist organizations ploy. He then has a bout where he takes on the four Demon Generals at the same time. Here, terrorists intrude upon the match and use the Grand Scepter, a National treasure of the fallen Major Power Elision, to destroy the capital along with Zef and his subordinates. The treasure ends up summoning the Superior Dragon Chief Root, who does an immensely powerful wide area attack which is blocked by Makoto as he uses creation for the first time and using his creation, the Silver Arms, crushes the attack. He is then revered as a hero by the Demons and the Demon Lord candidates and the Demon Lord's alleged daughter Sari becomes his slave without his consent and travels with him. She is then imprisoned for life in Asora.

He visits the Limia Kingdom next to answer the summons of Prince Joshua and also to deliver the egg of the Superior Dragon Waterfall. Here he met with Hibiki who eventually learnt of the true and devastating power of the Kuzunoha Company which has the power to take on the Major Powers as well as the Goddess. Henceforth, the Kuzunoha Company is considered a third major power in the conflict between the Hyumans and the Demons and nothing can touch them. When she tries to convince Makoto to side with the Hyumans and annihilate the Demon Race, he bluntly refuses and realizes that his and her ideologies vastly differ. He tells Otonashi Hibiki that the Goddess governing the world didn't have the least qualifications to be a Goddess. They both have a bout before the conversation and it is declared to have ended in a draw. But, it was apparent to Hibiki that Makoto was not serious and had the intention to declare a loss.

Later he travels to the Lorel Union with the intent to recruit the Mercenary Group known as Picnic Rose Garden to aid the town of Tsige in matters of defense as they are seeking for independence from the kingdom of Aion during the civil war. He comes across assassins sent by Tomoki and easily kills them.

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.”

Trivia

 * Makoto used to wear glasses when he was on Earth.
