Hikaru Kirari

A magical girl who is like a servant who belongs to Promised Blood. If it's for the good of the people she trusts, she can fight without danger and she never fails in her day-to-day support. However, when she's alone she has trouble taking care of herself, neglecting herself, and lacking the energy to get into anything. Doppel Description The Doppel of sluggishness. Its form is a chariot. The master of this emotion feels utmost joy in working for the sake of others, but is terribly lazy when it comes to her own self. As such, she has nothing but mixed feelings about dragging around a being that represents herself. Because this Doppel is powered by its master’s own strength, it cannot take action by itself, but upon being thrown by its master, it will instantly crush its enemies with its massive, sturdy body. The Doppel itself loves being of use to people, so it only intends to hug its enemies as it’s flying toward them, but since being thrown causes a large blade to jut out of its body, it always thinks that it’s failed. Hikaru and Yuna are hanging out at Yuna’s place and watching TV. On the screen, the TV reporter is talking about the water-rescue dogs that are being trained at the beach. Yuna things it’s amazing that simple dogs can be trained to rescue people. Hikaru notices Yuna praising the dogs and mentions that she knows how to swim too. Yuna nods and says she had heard that Hikaru was a good swimmer then turns her attention back to the screen. She comments on how cute the dogs are as Hikaru realizes that a bunch of lame dogs are getting more praise from Yuna than Hikaru usually does. When Hikaru arrives home, she looks around for her swimsuit. She soon finds it and says now all she has to do is wait for an opportunity. Over the next few days, Hikaru sticks close to Yuna’s side whenever she happens to venture near the beach. When Yuna goes to check out a shop that Juri mentioned, Hikaru points to the sea and mentions how beautiful it is. When their people have a small scuffle near the ports, Hikaru suggests they go to the seaside to see if there’s anyone that’s injured there. Several days later and both Hikaru and Yuna are searching for traces of a Witch they sensed near the beach. Yuna asks Hikaru what’s wrong and mentions how fidgety and restless she’s been lately. Hikaru says it’s nothing but even Yuna has noticed that Hikaru has been following her around more everytime she goes near the sea. Hikaru assures her once more that it’s nothing and even tries to laugh it off. Inwardly Hikaru begins to chide herself for thinking that such a convenient opportunity would ever come up. Just then they hear a woman’s voice crying out for help. A woman is frantically crying out for help since her child has fallen into the ocean and could drown. Hikaru turns to Yuna and asks her if she should go help, but Yuna tells her to calm down and says she could drown as well if she jumps in with her clothes on. But Hikaru figured something like this might happen and came prepared. Hikaru tosses off her regular clothes to reveal she’s been wearing her swimsuit underneath her clothes this entire time. Hikaru once more asks Yuna for her orders, and Yuna, completely thrown off by this, asks her to go help the woman. Hikaru nods and immediately jumps into the water to rescue the drowning girl. The woman and her child thank Hikaru for everything but Hikaru is just happy to help. Yuna tells her great job as Hikaru asks if Yuna didn’t see her easily rescue those people and casually mentions how much more useful she is than a water-rescue dog. Yuna nods, finally understanding why Hikaru had been wearing her swimsuit underneath her clothes. Hikaru is ready to prove her usefulness at any moment. Yuna asks Hikaru why she’s trying to compete with dogs like some kind of elementary school kid. She tells Hikaru to not wear her swimsuit under her clothes anymore. When Hikaru asks if that’s an order, Yuna tells her it’s just common sense since emergency situations that deal with swimming don’t happen often. Hikaru hangs her head after being scolded for being silly. Still, Yuna thinks they still learned something that day: if ever there came a time when their team is drowning in the ocean she knows they’ll be alright as long as Hikaru is around. Hikaru perks up at these words of praise as Yuna tells her she’s her trusted confidant and to be more confident in herself. Hikaru smiles and says she understands.
