① Sargatanas, the Minister of Finance's attendant

Sargatanas is the attendant of Astaroth, the Minister of Finance. According to Astaroth, "He is so cold-hearted and heartless that even the demons of the Frozen Hell flee from him naked." Beelzebub, the lord of the Palace of Demons, calls him Astaroth's "protector." He has long, purple hair that he ties back.

② Is using force his hobby?!

Despite his position as a personal attendant to the Minister of Finance, Sargatanas always carries a gun. When the playboy Astaroth leaves his job to hang out with girls, he often resorts to force to bring Astaroth back to work. He even fires his gun at times, and is so thorough that he even secretly allocates a special budget for the destruction of facilities. For Sargatanas, using force is a hobby.

Sargatanas, who frequently uses force to bring back Finance Minister Astaroth, has a brave and uncompromising attitude. When Beelzebub's attendant, Myurin, suggested that they could resolve the situation peacefully without using force, Sargatanas responded with a refreshingly clear, "It's just my personal preference."

④ Surprisingly girly?! Do you like fluffy things?

Sargatanas, whose hobby is handling guns and other weapons, also has a girly side. While firing her gun and performing wrestling moves on Astaroth, she accidentally frightens a nearby Keseran-Paseran, saying, "I'm sorry, I was scared, okay? Yoyoyoyoyo." She also seems to love the "Higedoko Friends," a fancy character super popular among girls who love cute things.

Although Sargatanas sometimes fires guns and ties Astaroth up with ropes to bring her back, he seems to be deeply concerned about her. When Astaroth casually said, "I love you, Sachiko, because you always come looking for me and pick me up," she blushed and replied, "...It's not for you or anything. It's for work."

⑥ Cool and handsome!

Sargatanas' cool and dignified appearance has earned him a reputation in the Manmade Palace. When he walks down the hallway, women comment, "Look at that fierce profile," "He looks so dignified today... so cool...," and "He's like a female knight..." Sargatanas is admired by women, and apparently has many fans.

Sargatanas serves as a personal attendant to Astaroth, the Minister of Finance. He's said to be Astaroth's right-hand man, and despite being his personal attendant, he apparently handles most of the finance department's administrative work in place of the lazy Astaroth. She's a capable, cool woman.

⑧She can't be honest easily

When Myurin came to Astaroth for advice, wondering if she had angered Beelzebub. As suggestions were made about what kind of gift they should give, the idea that flowers would be good came up. When asked by the female representative present if she thought of flowers, Sargatanas replied, "Flowers are good. They're gorgeous and brighten up the room..." She continued, "You can just throw them away when they wither." However, Sargatanas recently received a bouquet of flowers from Astaroth, and instead of throwing them away, he appears to have made them into a pressed flower bookmark. This inability to be honest is also part of his endearing charm.

⑨ Sargatanas doesn't let the mood get the better of him

Sargatanas captures Astaroth, who escapes as usual, and brings her back. One day, Astaroth wants to change his mood before heading home, so they decide to stop by the park before heading home. After buying a drink from a vending machine, they immediately look around to rest on a bench, only to find that the park is full of couples, making it an awkward place. Even in the midst of all this, Sargatanas is with Astaroth, the love of his life, and he remains dignified and unaffected by the atmosphere. Astaroth seems relieved to see Sargatanas like that, saying, "The fact that you don't get carried away by the atmosphere is what makes you feel at ease." However, Sargatanas himself seems to think that his inability to let himself be carried away by the atmosphere is a flaw. This slightly clumsy side is also part of Sargatanas' charm.

⑩ The voice actor for the anime version is Ai Kakuma
