This is "Orugio." He has stubble and his hair is always messy. He doesn't seem to care much about his appearance, but some fans say that's what makes him cool. He has a sophisticated and stylish look. Her age has not been revealed, but she looks the same age as Kiifree or older.

Kiifree's best friend

She is the protagonist Coco's magic teacher and the best friend of the wizard Kiifree. Since Kiifree calls her her best friend, they must be very close, and even when they talk, it's clear they trust each other. The two of them have completely opposite looks and personalities, so maybe that's what makes them a good match.

Orugio's role is as the "Watchman's Eye" in Kifree's atelier. He reports any problems to the Demon Police. He's essentially the atelier's supervisor. It's a very important role, and someone Keefree trusts—Orugio—is the perfect choice!

【The Atelier of Witch Hat】As a Wizard

Not the teacher?

To become a wizard, one must go through four stages. Orugio didn't seem interested in taking on an apprentice, and finished at the fourth stage, but Kifree is qualified to take on an apprentice. So, while he's not a teacher, Kifree's students call him "Oru Sensei." It's a cute nickname, isn't it?

What kind of magic does he use?

Coco's favorite magic is "Lighted Cobblestones." It's the first magic Coco encountered, and it lights up when you step on it. This magic was actually developed by Orugio. He surprisingly creates soothing magic! That contrast is a great one, isn't it? And this embarrassed and surprised expression is also adorable.

Orugio created this magical device to help Keefree and his students sleep soundly, out of concern for their excessive study habits. His tsundere personality only makes him even more kind (lol). Orugio is a tsundere. Tsundere is the best.

Actually, Orugio is the one who's most sleep-deprived. She always looks sleepy, probably because she has a deadline at work. She cares deeply about others but seems oblivious to her own concerns. That's because she's so kind. She generally has bags under her eyes.
