This is Kihuri. He has a slender build and, although it's unclear if his hair is naturally curly, he does have a perm. His calm silver hair is very Kihuri-like and beautiful. One of them wears sunglasses, the other a pair of clear pince-nez, and they're dressed like wizards, different from Orugio (Keefree's partner). The tricorn hats they wear on their heads are a sign that they're wizards. They're both handsome wizards with beautiful features!

These are Kifuri's disciples. The girl with long hair on the right is Riche, the girl with permed hair is Tetia, the girl with black hair is Agathe, and the main character is Coco. Normally they could teach in the main auditorium, but for some reason Keefree hates large auditoriums and so he sets up an atelier in the countryside to teach.

Nolnoa (the shopkeeper selling magical materials) discovers that the magic ink (liquid used in magic) Coco used is connected to the brimmed hat, and proposes handing it over to the Magic Police (a group that maintains order in this world).
