Character description:
The princess of the Llinger Kingdom. A refined and elegant lady capable of delicate and thoughtful gestures.
Reina Ueda’s comment:
“Is this what healing magic feels like…!? While being shocked, I approached the recording with excitement in the thoroughly passionate atmosphere. Celia is a very pure girl. Not only as a princess but also as a “maiden,” her expressions are charming, so I hope you’ll enjoy paying attention to that aspect as well!”
Character description:
A knight of the Llinger Kingdom. While usually serving as a gatekeeper, he is proficient in both swordsmanship and magic, possessing solid skills.
Shohei Komatsu’s comment:
I’m Shohei Komatsu, and I’ll be playing the role of Aruku. He’s an honest soldier dedicated to protecting the castle, usually working as a gatekeeper. Surprisingly, he’s quite competent. Count on me to support Lord Usato. While there is a character named Alec in the Rescue Squad, I have no direct interaction with him. Please be aware of that. I was very careful not to make mistakes while reading the script. Well then, in preparation for the anime broadcast… Open the gates!
Character description:
The commander of the third army of the Demon Lord’s army. She has a strong sense of responsibility and is devoted to the Demon Lord. She has a significant connection with Rose.
Hitomi Ueda’s comment:
I will be participating as Amila in The Wrong Ways to Use Healing Magic. My name is Hitosmi Ueda. She is affiliated with the Demon Lord’s army, which opposes the Llinger Kingdom where Usato and others are summoned. While I’m cautious about making her presence too familiar by talking too much, before performing, Sound Director Imaizumi directed me by saying, “She is strong-willed, doing her best, a serious person.” As I portray her, I have come to love Amila. I hope you look forward to how the Demon Lord’s army will be involved. I would be delighted if you could enjoy the anime broadcast! Thank you!
Character description:
A researcher affiliated with the Demon Lord’s army, creating magical beasts to be used as weapons in war.
Wataru Hatano’s comment:
I’ll be playing the cunning and calculating role of Hyriluk. I’m one of the Demon Lord’s subordinates. My comrade Amila is quite serious, so we make an odd pair. Look forward to our witty interactions!
Character description:
A demon belonging to the Demon Lord’s second legion, currently serving under the third legion’s commander, Amila. Known as an invincible dark mage, the name “The Black Knight” stems from their appearance.

The official synopsis:
Usato Mikuri, an ordinary high school student, is on his way home when he is suddenly engulfed by a magic circle along with the student council president, Suzune Inukami, and his classmate, Kazuki Ryuusen.
When they come to, they find themselves in a different world. The three of them were supposedly summoned as “Heroes” to counter the Demon Lord’s army invading the kingdom, but only Suzune and Kazuki have the aptitude for being heroes. Usato was just caught up in the situation!
However, the situation changes drastically when it becomes clear that Usato has an affinity for “healing magic.” Rose, who claims to be the leader of the Rescue Squad, appears and forcibly takes Usato away.
What awaited Usato there was days of training beyond his imagination in the form of a hellish ordeal—!
