Lime Latte, once a top-ranked adventurer in Tsige, built a reputation for shielding rookies and orphans from exploitation. His clash with merchant Patrick Rembrandt over corporate greed led him to conspire with a shaman, cursing Patrick’s family under false pretenses. Though intending non-lethal consequences, the curse’s fatal potential surfaced too late, leaving Lime guilt-ridden after defeat by Makoto Misumi’s allies. Retiring from adventuring, he atoned by joining Kuzunoha Company as Tomoe’s subordinate, his body reshaped into a dragonkin hybrid through her blood—a metamorphosis amplifying his combat prowess. Depictions of Lime vary: the light novel paints him as charming with tousled curls, while the web novel emphasizes a silver-haired, athletic build. Post-transformation, draconic traits heighten his agility and strength, marking his physical duality. A charismatic rogue with a penchant for fleeting romances, Lime dodges permanence yet anchors himself in loyalty to those he serves. His growth emerges from confronting past recklessness, channeling remorse into defending vulnerable adventurers and aiding strangers—a balance of roguish charm and hard-won integrity. Under Tomoe, he thrives as Kuzunoha’s spy, blending decades of adventuring experience with dragonkin-enhanced skills. His signature Elder Dwarven katana complements strategic brilliance in bolstering allies and extracting secrets, his adventurer rank of 201 a testament to lethal efficiency. Bound by duty, Lime pledges allegiance to Makoto (“Boss”) and Tomoe (“Big Sis”), navigating Mio’s volatility with wary deference. Though Hibiki Otonashi’s marriage proposal goes unanswered, their alliance endures, mirroring his reconciliation with Patrick—former rivals turned respectful colleagues. Critical junctures define his path: surviving Tomoki Iwahashi’s charm-induced assault triggers his draconic rebirth; infiltrating Rotsgard’s demi-human trafficking ring exposes gruesome experiments, culminating in Eva Aensland’s rescue. These trials cement his role as Kuzunoha’s shadow operative, threading redemption through covert victories. Once an antagonist blinded by vengeance, Lime’s journey weaves moral reckoning into steadfast service, embodying transformation through each choice that binds him deeper to allies and the sins he strives to undo.
