Role[]

Atelier Marie[]

Bukiya no Oyaji serves as the blacksmith who makes weapons for soldiers and adventurers. At one point in his life, Bukiya was also an adventurer who travelled alongside Dio Schenk. When the two retired from adventuring, Bukiya started up his own weapon shop. 

Although he may have a gruff and intimidating outward appearance, he is a laid back individual with a kind heart. He is not an individual to show his feelings, but he is very sensitive about his baldness. 

If Marie's reputation is over 200, Bukiya may ask her to make him a hair growth formula. If Marie gives Bukiya the item, he will close the shop for a few days. When he returns, he will reward Marie with the Star and Moon wand. This wand will significantly increase her power and allow her to perform special abilities in battle.
