Companion details

Simon York (voiced by Daisuke Ono): The leader of the investigation party sent by the “Mizugaruzu” Library. He’s very smart and knows a lot about ancient civilizations and labyrinth monsters. He’s also a medic and can calmly aid his companions no matter the circumstance.

Arthur Charles (voiced by Toshiyuki Toyonaga): A member of the investigation party. As an alchemist, he is good at elemental attacks. He doesn’t think too hard about anything, so he sometimes talks big. Though, he has a tremendous amount of faith in Simon.

Lacuna Sheldon (voiced by Shizuka Ito): A baladine and woman at the vanguard of the investigation party. She’s from a noble family, but has an open and modest personality. She has a strong sense of justice and plenty of common sense, but loses her head when it comes to good food.
