The surviving races now make their homes, towns, and cities up on floating islands in the sky to keep out of reach of all but the most mobile of Beasts. Only a group of young girls, dubbed the Leprechauns, can wield the ancient Dug Weapons needed to fend off invasions from those dangerous creatures. Into these peoples' unstable and fleeting lives, where a simple call to certain death could come at any moment, enters an unlikely character Willem Kmetsch, a mysterious man who lost everything in his final battle over 500 years ago, and had awakened from a long, icy slumber. Unable to fight any longer, the man, Willem, becomes the father those kids never had, caring for and nurturing them even as he struggles to come to terms with his new life, in which he feels the pain of helplessly waiting for his loved ones to return home from battle that his 'Daughter' once felt for him so long ago. Together, Willem and the leprechauns gradually come to understand what family means and what is truly worth protecting in their lives.[1] Characters[] Main Characters[] Willem Kmetsch ヴィレム・クメシュ Viremu Kumeshu Voiced by Ryohei Arai Japanese; Micah Solusod English A Second Grade Enchantments Officer who is the last surviving Emnetwiht human being and the main protagonist of the series.
