■ Shia
Shia is a female employee of Reisach Mining. She is the company’s ultimate slave and is called “the yūsha’s return” because of the great achievements she has achieved. She is Humble and polite, but too loyal and too passionate to show her loyalty. Her motto is “work until you die, work even if you die”.
