Background

Shizuku arrived in the city while searching for someone, though she could not remember why she was looking for that person. While trying to buy a map, she was harassed by local thugs and effortlessly incapacitated them after they attacked her. 66

Leo escorted the lost Shizuku to her destination and offered her a place on his team. She declined initially because she still had personal business to finish, but kept his contact card. 66

That business led to a confrontation with Joanna, who referred to someone named Ophelia. Shizuku endured numerous injuries during the fight, killed Joanna after Leo intervened at a critical moment, and used Blinky to erase the remains. With her objective complete and nowhere else to go, she accepted Leo's renewed invitation. 67 68

Appearance

Shizuku is a petite young woman with short hair and a quiet, harmless-looking demeanor that contrasts sharply with her combat ability. 66

• Black-rimmed glasses
• Black long-sleeved shirt
• Cross necklace
• Typically calm, blank expression 66 85

Personality

Shizuku is quiet, straightforward, and unusually detached in dangerous situations. She remains composed after severe fights and speaks of lethal tasks with the same calmness she uses in ordinary conversation. 68 70

She has serious memory problems, frequently forgetting people, directions, recent events, and even the books she reads. Despite this, her combat instincts are exceptionally sharp; she notices danger quickly and can react to attacks with near-instinctive precision. 66 67 79

Although initially reliant on instinct, Shizuku trains consistently after joining Leo. She becomes a dependable partner to Sophia and a willing participant in the team's increasingly dangerous operations. 74 79 169

Abilities & Skills

Blinky

Shizuku conjures Blinky, a sentient vacuum cleaner that responds with cheerful cries of “Hayo.” It can absorb and later expel nonliving material, making it invaluable for combat support, transport, and eliminating evidence. 67 284

• Cannot suck up living creatures. 79
• Removes corpses, blood, bone fragments, debris, and other traces of battles with extreme thoroughness. 70 78 87
• Can absorb Franklin's aura bullets within roughly three meters of her. 68
• Neutralizes Natasha's remotely controlled steel needles by vacuuming them up. 152
• Can absorb poison, giving her a direct countermeasure against poison-based opponents. 79
• Stored the group's prohibited equipment before entering NGL, then expelled it after the team crossed the checkpoint. 284

Conjuration and Blunt-Weapon Combat

Shizuku is a Conjurer who uses Blinky as a heavy melee weapon. Her fighting style is simple and direct—swings, smashes, and sweeps—but every strike carries considerable force. 67 127

• Used Blinky to block Joanna's blade gloves and strike with enough force to bend a streetlamp. 67
• Deflected Franklin's aura bullets back toward him with a full swing. 68
• Held off Phinks for two minutes despite sustaining multiple injuries, buying time for Leo and Sophia. 87
• Countered Natasha's Manipulation-based projectile attacks during the assault on Doctor's facility. 152

Physical Strength and Hand-to-Hand Combat

Shizuku has trained her body extensively rather than relying solely on Blinky. Her left fist is notably stronger than her right. 127

• In Sophia's Duel Arena, where aura was suppressed, she physically overwhelmed Layard despite both being Conjurers. 127
• Broke Layard's bones with repeated punches and dislocated his jaw to prevent him from surrendering during the interrogation. 127
• Biscuit identified her as highly talented, while criticizing her tendency to rely too heavily on instinct rather than tactical planning. 74

Proof of Humanity — Weakened Version

Leo granted Shizuku a weakened version of his Specialist ability, marked by a tattoo on the back of her hand. 270

• Absorbs residual life energy from slain lifeforms to raise her level.
• Enhances physical ability, recovery, and self-healing as her level increases.
• Her maximum level is capped at half of Leo's level; at the time of granting, the stated cap was Level 42.
• Killing fellow humans without cause reduces her level by one and costs one year of lifespan.
• Leo may revoke the ability at any time; its physical enhancements would then gradually fade. 270

Equipment / Items

• Blinky — Conjured vacuum cleaner used for combat, containment, retrieval, and cleanup. 67 284
• Black-rimmed glasses — Her most recognizable accessory. 66
• Cross necklace — Worn with her usual black outfit. 66

Relationships

• Leo — Team leader who first approached Shizuku while she was lost, assisted her against Joanna, and recruited her after she completed her personal mission. She consistently supports his operations and trusts his instructions. 66 68 85
• Sophia — Close teammate and frequent partner. They live together for a time, conduct bounty missions jointly, fight in coordination, and combine their abilities during interrogations. 77 79 127 169
• Biscuit Krueger — Evaluated Shizuku's talent and gave her practical combat guidance, specifically urging her to develop tactical planning beyond instinct. 74
• Nico — Fellow member of Leo's team. Shizuku supports Sophia when she reprimands Nico for accepting a dangerous commission without informing her. 70 193
• Joanna — Shizuku's former target. Shizuku killed her after a prolonged battle. 67
• Phantom Troupe — Shizuku fought Franklin, survived an attack by Shalnark and Kortopi, and held off Phinks during Leo's campaign against the group. 68 78 87
