[Requests Accepted] [Astronauts] ウルスラグナ ～征戦のデュエリスト～ [VJ009504]

**■Story** The world’s largest comprehensive gaming company, Link World, sells the TCG (Trading Card Game) "Ursuragna." In "Ursuragna," players summon imaginary gods, demons, heroes, and monsters from various alternate worlds to battle each other. The game has become a major hobby, captivating even adults. The protagonist, Akira Ichijo, finds himself caught in a trap set by the chairman of Koryu Academy, Metosheila, who is also the head of a financial conglomerate. Akira’s father, Tatsumi, suffers a devastating defeat in the finals of an underground duel tournament and is taken captive. To avenge his father, Akira accepts Metosheila's challenge: "If you want to take revenge for your father, rise to the top as a duelist at Koryu Academy. Only then will I duel you." Thus, Akira enrolls at Koryu Academy. One day, he stumbles into a mysterious alternate space within the vast forest behind the academy and is suddenly attacked by an unidentified monster. In the chaos, he finds a card named Kisskill, featuring a battle maiden clad in black armor radiating a powerful aura. With Kisskill by his side, Akira aims to defeat his rivals at Koryu Academy, striving to become one of the chosen 21 "Knights" (Ritter) and ultimately the Duel Kaiser, the pinnacle of the academy. What is the chairman's true intention as she awaits Akira's challenge? And what is the mysterious truth surrounding the alternate worlds, Ursuragna, and Koryu Academy...? **■Characters** ● **Suzune Yakaze** (CV: Hime Shibuya) A female student and classmate of the protagonist. Her older brother, who enrolled in Koryu Academy three years ago, has gone missing, prompting her to attend the academy to uncover the truth behind his disappearance. She suspects that the Kisskill card Akira possesses may have belonged to her brother and challenges him to a duel. Although she usually presents herself as a gentle and approachable girl, she becomes lively and competitive during duels. She dedicates her life to card battles. *"Aiming to be a 'Knight'... for now, that's the quickest way."* ● **Tooru Natsuno** (CV: Mami Yahiro) The head of the newspaper club, who harbors resentment towards the student council and the academy's policies. Curious and investigative, she makes it her daily routine to explore various rumors and mysteries within the academy. The newspaper club's publications are often viewed with suspicion, and she is currently the only member, facing the threat of disbandment. She enjoys snacks and always has treats spread across her desk. She quickly buys large amounts of juice and sweets to celebrate any occasion. *"Wow, you’re really dependable, my new servant in the newspaper club!"* ● **Aya Kongouin** (CV: Ryou Kasumi) A second-year student and one of the "Knights" (Ritter). She is the daughter of the Kongouin financial conglomerate. Proud and somewhat self-conscious, she possesses the ability to genuinely acknowledge others. With the support of her entourage, her card collection is impressive, containing many powerful cards. Therefore, she prefers bold strategies relying on the power of individual cards during battles. *"This is the expected outcome. There's no way Aya Kongouin could lose!"* ● **Shiho Aono** (CV: Miru) A second-year representative of the discipline committee, one of the "Knights" (Ritter) who maintains order at the academy. She excels academically and was chosen as the representative of her grade due to her outstanding abilities. She rarely expresses her emotions. In card battles, she takes control by nullifying her opponent's actions. *"…That is unacceptable."* ● **Mari Kurose** (CV: Himari) The vice president of the student council and the second-ranked "Knight" (Ritter). A third-year student. A sharp-minded individual who pledges loyalty to Kyoko. She and Kyoko are feared by students, often referred to as "the Buddhist Hiizuki and the demon Kurose." She specializes in strategies that focus on enhancing a single unit for a breakthrough in card battles. She also serves as the captain of the swimming club. *"As vice president, I merely did what was expected."* ● **Kyoko Hiizuki** (CV: An Kasuga) The president of the student council and the "Duel Kaiser," the top "Knight" (Ritter). A third-year student. She is always smiling and has a maternal aura. However, it is said that when she gets genuinely angry, she is more terrifying than anyone else. In card battles, she has no specific preferred strategy and can adapt to any situation. *"Hehe, impressive. It feels like you're about to climb straight to the top of the academy."* ● **Maya Misono** (CV: Men Kusuda) The homeroom teacher of Akira's class, specializing in modern society. She has a mysterious aura and is a voluptuous beauty with a laid-back personality. *"You might have some worries in this new environment, but if you need someone to talk to, I'm here."* ● **Metosheila Rizhi** (CV: Kanami Kono) A woman at the pinnacle of the Rizhi financial conglomerate, one of the world's leading financial groups, and the chairman of Koryu Academy.

She is always clad in black armor and wields a massive spear in battle. *"My lord, what is your command?"* ● **Rea** (CV: Miyabi Shion) The goddess of the earth. A mature woman with a calm and nurturing presence. She exudes an alluring charm at all times. *"The contract is now sealed. I look forward to working with you, Akira."* ● **Satis** (CV: Momoka Sakura) The goddess of water. A petite and youthful-looking beauty. Proud and confident in her abilities, she has a strong will. *"Hehe, I’m going to win anyway, so give it your all!"* ● **Brigandi** (CV: Ryouko Tezuka) The goddess of light. A cool beauty who shows little emotion and has an almost mechanical demeanor. *"I will fulfill the mission given to me... that is the reason for my existence."* ● **Akira Ichijo** The protagonist of this story, a first-year male student. His father, Tatsumi Ichijo, was trapped and defeated in a tournament organized by the Rizhi conglomerate, losing his freedom. To win duels and confront Chairman Metosheila, Akira decides to enroll at Koryu Academy. *"I won't lose. I have someone I need to defeat."* ● **Taiki Rokugou** A first-year male student and classmate of Akira. Unlike Akira, who is quiet but passionate, Taiki is sociable and approachable but carries a sense of nihilism. He approaches everything with a laid-back attitude. *"Is it really that interesting? This thing called a duel?"* ● **Reiji Shiratori** A first-year male student who was already famous as a strong duelist before enrolling. He has a cheerful and straightforward personality, reminiscent of a Latin vibe. In card battles, he prioritizes flashy and elegant victories. Having gained fame in official tournaments, he becomes interested in Akira, who has been making a name for himself in informal matches and challenges him to a duel. *"I’ll win against you, and then I’ll confess to Yakaze!"* ● **Hidehiko Haida** A second-year male student in the chemistry club. A strategist. He thoroughly scouts opponents’ decks and plays, preferring to build meta-decks that can completely shut them down. *"Before you embarrass yourself fighting against us in the chemistry club, why not just forfeit?"* ● **Taro Ushimatsu** A biology teacher. A middle-aged man who is somewhat overweight and greasy. There are persistent dark rumors about him having inappropriate relations with his students. *"Ridiculous. What do you think you can accomplish against a teacher all by yourself?"*
