Ryuu Tadera

A middle-aged man with slightly gray hair, initially portrayed as a traveling merchant, who serves as a link between the villagers and the outside world. In reality, he is a member of a long line of skilled warriors, capable of defeating a group of soldiers unarmed, and sent by his family to rescue and protect [Yuru](https://anilist.co/character/270811/Yuru) from hostile or dangerous individuals seeking to exploit him. He works in tandem with [Hana](https://anilist.co/character/334316/Danno-Hana), and occasionally flirts with her, half-jokingly convincing her to marry him as part of the cover story of his new young wife and stepmother to Yuru.
