Returnees

The Returnees, originally known as Hajime's Party (はじめパーティ, Hajime pāti), is a mercenary party formed by Hajime Nagumo, a former member of the Hero Party, who after being betrayed and left to die in the Great Orcus Labyrinth, decided to desert his former comrades who betrayed him and focus on returning home to Japan. During his travels he was joined by various Tortus inhabitants who decided to follow him on his quest of returning home to Japan, mostly due to falling in love with him that includes Kaori Shirasaki (also joined Hajime's party due to her feelings for him since middle school). After Hajime and his companions managed to repel the Demon attack on the Heiligh Kingdom capital, the so-called "Hero Party" renounced their loyalty to Ehit and allied themselves with Hajime in hopes of finding a way to return to Japan.

Their leader is Hajime Nagumo.

All members joined Hajime's party are females who fell in love with Hajime and the party does not have any male members other than Hajime himself. Due to Kaori's request to Hajime, they reluctantly allied with the "Hero Party", in order to help them grow stronger by allowing the so called "Hero Party" to accompany them on their quest to clear the Great Labyrinths so they can return to Japan. Despite not being part of the so-called "Hero Party", they are renowned as the Strongest Party due to them successfully clearing the Great Labyrinths, which were created to prepare it's challengers to fight Ehit.

Hajime Nagumo
Hajime is the leader of the mercenary party. He cares deeply for his companions, but he initially has romantic feelings for Yue only until he later accepted others as his lovers. He protects his companions and did all what he can to make them happy. Since all of his companions are female members, Hajime is hostile to other men who attempt to approach them, usually resorting to threats to scare them away and if even willing to resort to violence to chase them away completely. He will never let anyone who are stupid enough to take his harem even through pointless challenges or worthless fights such as when he easily defeated his idiot classmate, Kouki twice: at first a pointless unarmed duel and later in a weak fight while Kouki was fused with his doppelganger. However, if one of his harem is harmed by anyone, Hajime shows his wrath as he will never forgive them and killing them as punishment, just like he murdered Hiyama after he temporarily murdered Kaori for his betrayal. Hajime is willing to go to any lengths to saving the women close to him, as he revived Kaori for the sake of Shizuku (Kaori's best friend who became indebted Hajime and later also fell in love with him) and himself, but he agreed to her promise to place her in a stronger body as she doesn't want to stay weak anymore.

Female Companions
The female members of the party are absolutely loyal to Hajime, due to falling in love with him. They've ignored and are disgusted by other men who try to flirt with them, becoming greatly annoyed by them such as when insulting Hajime, such as when Kouki Amanogawa slandered Hajime and attempted to attack Hajime only for the latter easily defeating the masochist hero twice. They are the important girls that Hajime cares for. They are also love rivals competing against each other to win Hajime's affections by flirting and seducing him. They are protective caretakers of Hajime's adoptive daughter, Myu. When anyone attacked Hajime, they get furious and will kill or defeat them without hesitation. But if one is harmed by anyone, it would let Hajime to be unstably consumed by rage and killing those who harmed his harem just like he assassinated Hiyama for his temporarily murder on Kaori in his failed attempt to make her his undead slave.

Alliance with the "Hero Party"
After the war on Heiligh Kingdom as well Hiyama and Eri's betrayals and the death of Hiyama as knowing protecting humanity from Garland was only a setup, Hajime and his party formed an alliance (which is fragile due to Hajime and Kouki's dislike for each other) with the "Hero Party" when sharing a common enemy by giving them a second chance due to Suzu Taniguchi, Ryutarou Sakagami and Shizuku Yaegashi's begging. Hajime initially believed that he has no concern about the false god or Tortus as he only focused on his quest to return to Japan. When he learned that Tio's parents and tribe were murdered due to Ehit's manipulations, Hajime decided to kill Ehit to avenge Tio's parents and people. Hajime revealed later that he allowed them to join him in his trip to conquer the remaining Labyrinths for Kaori's sake, not for Kouki's delusional idiotic ideals. When Kouki was corrupted by his doppelganger, he attempted to kill Hajime but only to be easily defeated by Hajime but spared him. Although from Kouki's previous attempt, Hajime maintained the alliance with the "Heroes" due to Kaori and Shizuku. After fulfilling their journey by conquering the Frost Caverns of Schnee and slaying Ehit, Hajime and Yue created a crystal key to open dimensions back to Japan. Hajime is willing to bring his classmates back. After returning to Japan, Hajime's classmates shown their appreciation to him by nicknaming him as the "God Slaying Demon King".
